In the Idol City, the Divine Knight Ract stared at the blue stars entwined in dark fire. In the face of Glori's insistence, Ritsu reluctantly shouted, "Glori Carlos!"

"Mr. Mayne?" Glori took a deep breath and followed his own will towards the law. He had to follow through on his persistence because he knew it was the right thing to do.

"Why are you learning swordsmanship?" asked Ritsu, frowning.

"It used to be to protect the people around me. Glori replied in the affirmative.

"So, what now?" Ritsu asked.

"All who want to see the future deserve to live to see tomorrow," Glori replied without thinking, "That's why I'm here!" Glori ran. He raised his sword in both hands and slashed at the Divine Knight Law. He found that after saying this, his body became lighter, and the sword seemed to be a part of himself.

"You should know that the weak cannot even redeem themselves, and now you have become more soft-hearted. You allow your shortcomings to be magnified endlessly," Ritsu said in the tone of a teaching disciple, "and it will be your fatal wound." ”

"But it is precisely because of this that Mr. Mayne has bestowed upon me the power of the Divine Power. Glori's face didn't change. He calmly went to meet Ritsu's sword strike.

"What is light, what is darkness?" asked Ritsu solemnly.

This question has always haunted Glori as much as it had bothered Bryson. "The so-called light is hope and love, and bravely face the future. The so-called darkness is to give up and escape, and be at the mercy of fate. Glori replied.

"And what are you going to do?" Ritsu blocked the black fire dragon that Glori swung.

"On my own, I can't make the darkness disappear and the light return. But I will embrace hope and love, cherish everyone! Every day, every moment! Just keep moving forward, overcome difficulties when encountered, cry when I encounter sad things, and laugh happily when I encounter pleasant things. Hold on to your faith until the end. Glori said firmly.

"Heh, that's not a big idea. I clearly know that you come from a family of commoners, and you did not retreat because of your origin, but stood up for those around you and had the courage to stand before the powerful. You have been humbled by your origins, you have been bewildered by puzzles, but now the flames of darkness that radiate from you are brighter than the muddy flames of the powerful, and there is even a light in them that is about to engulf the darkness. You're clumsy, but you're my proudest student – you're hardworking and kind. Ritsu smiled. He was satisfied that he had imparted divine powers to Glori.

"But that's it, is it really good?" said Glori, hesitatingly. Nobody likes the Flame of Darkness because it will always represent darkness and evil, as it has been ordained by the gods - it is a predetermined truth! The Order Keepers are seen as mythical demons, but they were created by the gods to balance the world - they are so powerful that they are feared by the gods and banished to the ice fields. Because of love and hope, they are right near the light, and because of the prejudice and hostility of other races, they become evil when they are near the darkness.

"At the end of the day, it all stems from people's perceptions and prejudices, and blind conformity, and the most shameful thing is that we used to do whatever it takes to pursue profit," Bard said, "and that's why it's the tragedy of the age of the gods." We killed an innocent Orderly girl, and we didn't just treat her as a demon, we made her a victim in the battle, and we became demons because of it. ”

"What is the light, and what is the darkness?" I am afraid only the dragon god knows," said the law, "and now, who among us is the light, and who is the darkness? is the light, you or me, or is it all of you, and I am the dark?"

"We all have a goal, to bring Abel back to light. It's an irony that people with the same goal are fighting while the truly sinful laughs. Bud said mockingly.

"This is human beings," says the law, "in the midst of incomprehension there is contradiction, and in understanding there is harmony." ”

"We can't talk about it here. Drawing the sword is the solution, because none of us will compromise!" Bard said helplessly.

"So, we have to use blood to prove who is right and who is wrong!" Ritsu said helplessly, radiating golden light all over his body.

"None of you are going to listen to me, so I can only stand on the side of the knights and fight you. Auraya threw away her red cloak and clenched her silver sword. The olive branch carving on the sword was so ironic at this moment, this sword from the Knights Templar was originally intended to protect the glory of Alex's kingdom, but now it was used as a weapon in battle with his comrades. Auraya held the sword and walked towards Bud. every day

"Oraya, are you crazy, you dare to draw your sword at me!" Bard retorted. It was the first time in his life that he had been treated so impolitely by his juniors. He admired her courage from the bottom of his heart, but was angry and disappointed by her decision.

"I'm sorry, but it was forced and we can't do it halfway. After I have driven you away, I will apologize to you with my life. Olaya said calmly.

"You're not apologizing, you're giving up your life in vain. None of you will forgive you for the sacrifice you have given to a plan that will have terrible consequences, not only for yourself, but also for the dead who have stood firm in their faith. Bard glared at Auraya.

"This is our enlightenment, from the day we pick up our sword to fight the Demon King, from the moment we stand up in the blood-stained mud, from the moment we are determined to face a situation that we can't even imagine...... We're ready to die for it," Auraya's eyes were bright but a little moist, "and we want to see the light come back to our lives, not to listen to the cries of the children." ”

"I'm sorry too, but even if you say that, we can't back down. Bud said. He had understood Auraya's realization, but he had to clench his sword and walk towards her.

"Sister Oraya, what you said is really exciting. I know you're ready to stay here. So, I can't save you by coming here now, and I have to defeat you with Lord Bud and Dylan so that this project can be stopped," Glori smiled wryly, "It's ironic, as Lord Bud said. ”

"So what are you waiting for? My disciples, your opponent is me. Ritsu walked closer to Glori.

Every sound the armor made when it collided with the masonry showed Ritsu's determination. He, like Olaya, was already planning to pay whatever it took from the beginning of the plan. If the Revival Legion and Kaino are defeated in Idol City, then he can become Kyle's cronies. He will be able to reach the Demon King Kyle and stab the dragon sword full of divine power against his back - thus ending the rule of the Demon Dragon Empire. He knew, of course, that all of this was to be paid for in blood, and that he grieved for it and bore all the blame himself. But as soon as he thought that the light that was within reach was pierced into that sword, he was filled with longing - only the sacrifice of a few people could be exchanged for the future!

"Mr. Mayne......"

Glori perked up. He didn't expect the sword in his hand to tremble. The tremor of the sword was exchanged for a deep groan, and the message hidden in the sword repeatedly entangled his heart. This message made him, who was already firm, a little sad, and then prompted him to contradict himself. He could have swung his sword again, but the thought that it was his esteemed mentor made him sad. He could have left, but the message urged him to hold on to his faith and let him stop this terrible plan.

"I want you to use it in the right path and keep your faith until the end. Mr. Mayne's words from the sword struck through Glori's heart. Although Glori had crossed the sea of swords and fire, there was a mountain in front of him that towered into the clouds without the top - a mountain he did not dare to touch, and Mr. Mayne was the mentor who had guided him until now. His unwavering faith and perseverance were born under the care of Mr. Mayne.

Glori didn't dare to blink, afraid to squeeze the tears from his eyes in that moment. This is not a competition between master and apprentice at all, but a real duel. Mr. Mayne brings his power to life, and he wants to use it to defeat his mentor. This mood made him sad, but he actually had no choice, he knew that if he wanted to move forward, he had to overcome all the difficulties.

"What's wrong? Are you hesitating? Weak, when can you change?" Ritsu said defiantly.

Ritsu didn't want to back down, because someone had already paid with their lives for the project. He wanted to teach his apprentice a lesson, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this. He knew full well that they wouldn't leave no matter what, and that there was no room for manoeuvre. Ritsu blinked and exhaled. He was happy to see Glori's faith, but disappointed by the encounter in the here and now. What to do? How to get them out? Or do you let them lie down? But in any case, the plan cannot be changed. So, he simply provoked and made the duel look even more presentable. It's better to make it clear to Kyle's watchers that Kyle is convinced that he is a trustworthy subordinate, to let the dragon god know that his faith is still there, and to let all the blame be placed on himself, so that he can go to assassinate Kyle with peace of mind, even to go to Hell with Kyle!" he thought, and before he knew it, the hand holding the sword began to drip blood.

Ritsu saw Dylan rushing towards him, and then turned his gaze away from the hesitant Glori. He clenched the black sword that radiated divine power and jumped head-on.

"Bang!" sparks flew between the Flame Sword and the Dragon Sword.

"Dylan!" yelled. He slammed his sword downward, knocking Dylan to the ground, and then swung his left hand again, tearing out five rays of light.

Glori picked up Ril's sword, then stood in front of Dylan. "Mr. Mayne!" called Glori. He jerked Ritsu away, then swung his sword.

Ritsu's right hand tingled, and he realized that Glori's sword had just stabbed his right hand along the hilt. "You're finally willing to put on a decent duel. He swapped his sword for his left hand.

Glori heard a faint familiar voice. "Gloriy Carlos!" Susan shouted from outside the golden barrier. She tried to break through the golden barrier, but it was like a thick steel wall that could not be chiseled through.

"They can't hear us, this barrier is the magic of the Divine Knight Rizzle Mayne," Zoe said to Susan, "and maybe you can try the way Gabriel taught." ”
