The Red Knights had just finished their shift, swapping places with the Black Knights.
"Perfect."
Unlike the Red Knights, who were prideful and difficult to control, the Black Knights were entirely obedient. He would use them to eliminate the threat before it could unfold into something greater.
Without hesitation, Dark Bus led his men outside the mansion.
"Attention!"
The soldiers stationed at the edge of the garden quickly saluted him, unaware that an intruder had breached their defenses.
'A covert infiltration…'
But it was useless against him. With his magic, Dark Bus could pinpoint the exact location of his enemy.
A slow, malevolent grin spread across his face.
"Intruder spotted!" he barked. "Black Knights, prepare for battle!"
Once the command was received, the soldiers rushed to the entrance of the mansion. There were 120 elite soldiers, two Black Knights and Dark Bus; it was a truly spectacular sight.
Paruru.
Dark Bus used his powerful magic power to detect the intruder. 200 meters ahead.
"Reveal yourself!"
Dark Bus shouted and unleashed his magic power, forcing the intruder to reveal himself.
'A holy presence?!' Dark Bus recoiled in shock as he laid eyes on the figure before him.
"I am Saint Blade," the man declared, his voice calm yet firm. "I sensed something dark lingering here, so I came to investigate." As he spoke, his Saint's Decree activated, radiating divine energy that caused the Black Knights to regard him favorably.
"Lies!" Dark Bus snapped, his voice laced with irritation. "If you were truly a saint, you wouldn't be sneaking into this place like an assassin!" Despite his words, he could feel a sharp pain coursing through him—the presence of divine energy was clearly weakening him.
Blade raised his hands and chanted, "Sun Purification: Blessed Radiance!"
A blinding golden light flooded the area, burning away the dark energy that had been subtly influencing the Black Knights. They staggered as clarity returned to their minds, their eyes shifting toward Dark Bus with suspicion.
"So, you were the evil one all along," Blade said, his gaze locked onto Dark Bus as he drew his Abyssal tyrant-The great Sword towards him.
"You… You're a follower of the Yatan Church!" One of the Black Knights, Zayn, exclaimed as he turned his weapon toward Dark Bus, who was still disguised as Dive.
"The knights of the empire… Are you truly siding with a Yatan cultist?" Blade asked, his voice filled with righteous judgment.
The Black Knights hesitated for a moment before their leader, Zayn, stepped forward. "No! We are imperial knights! We will never side with the Yatan Church or any evil beings!"
Balde nodded approvingly. "Then stand aside and let me deal with this wicked one."
The knights exchanged glances before their leader stepped aside. "Very well, Saint Blade. But we will keep an eye on you," he said,
Balde offered a slight smile. "I would expect nothing less."
Dark Bus gritted his teeth. His disguise was ruined, and the situation had turned against him. "Fools!" he snarled. "You would believe his lies over me?!"
But no one listened to him causing his frustration to grow,
"Do you intend to waste my three years of hard work?"
Dark Bus was frustrated. He wondered if God Yatan had abandoned him.
Dark Bus specialized in curse magic, but his attack magic was weak. He was the best at making a plot and directing the stage, but his combat power was the weakest among the Yatan Servants.
'Why curse magic...!?'
He casted more and more on him, but none of them worked as Blade calmly walked towards him.
The fundamental problem was that Blade was completely resistant to curses thanks him being an legend. No matter how much Dark Bus tried to exert his power, it had no effect. This was the worst possible situation for him.
'Damn it… What should I do?' Dark Bus frantically searched for a solution before something came to mind.
Asmophel!
Asmophel was once the greatest swordsman after Piaro. Though his skills had deteriorated over the years, he was still far superior to an ordinary knight.
'He has recently recovered from the wound Piaro inflicted on him… And for the past few years, he has been steadily consuming God Yatan's Essence.'
If anyone could turn the tide of this battle, it was Asmophel.
If Dark Bus strengthened him with magic power, the strongest monster would be born.
'Saint! This place will be your grave today!'
Dark Bus shouted with a smile.
"Come out, Asmophel!"
The ragged-looking black magician shouted, and a slender man stepped forward. The name floating above his head left no doubt—Asmophel.
"...What?"
Blade was caught off guard by the unexpected turn of events. His target was walking straight toward him. Meanwhile, the black magician, unaware of his impending doom, continued his proclamation.
"Your rampage ends here! You will receive divine punishme—"
He never finished his sentence.
Before he could react, Blade's Abyssal Tyrant Greatsword had already cleaved through his neck.
"...!"
Dark Bus let out a faint, wind-like gasp as he collapsed, the massive blade embedded deep into his heart.
"You...!"
"Your work is done. Bye-bye." Balde said with a smirk, raising his hand.
A blinding beam of fiery energy shot forward—Fiery Ray.
The spell struck Dark Bus's head, incinerating it instantly. His body crumbled, lifeless.
