The 31st Piece Turns The Tables (PART 1)

Chapter 146

Chapter 146

After the dust had settled, the Black Knight had completely vanished.

'Where... Where did he go?!'

Everyone instinctively knew that the Black Knight was on his last legs. All that remained was to land one final blow on him.

But then, someone began to shout while looking at the sky.

"He's..."

"Up there! Over there! Look at how battered he is..."

"He's going up over there!"

"Flagellant!"

The massive Black Knight had returned to his original size and was scaling the clock tower nearby, the tallest point in the western district of Illia.

"Why..."

"The wall! He's doing that... to climb over the wall!" shouted Filia in shock.

The clock tower wasn't too far from the walls dividing the city's districts.

Any average individual would consider that distance far, but to a monster like the Black Knight, it could even be considered close.

'If he climbs to the top of the clock tower and leaps toward the walls...'

The western district lockdown would have been for nothing, and he would be able to slaughter as many innocent civilians as he wants.

Agony, the being controlling the Black Knight, had already climbed halfway up the tower.

[We have to run! Run away! They're way too tough to eat! Let's eat the humans beyond the walls!]

Seol wasn't sure whether Agony had no intention of concealing his own intent or if he was simply pushed into a corner, but Agony's voice reverberated throughout the entirety of Illia.

The citizens beyond the wall trembled at the sound of Agony's frightening voice.

Seol quickly realized that following the Black Knight up the clock tower would be too slow. He wouldn't make it there to stop him before the Black Knight made it to the top.

'I need to stop him... But how...'

Seol caught Karuna looking up at the clock tower.

Karuna then looked at himself, before meeting Seol's eyes. Two resolute gazes locked onto each other.

"Karuna."

"...Please send me there."

"...Yeah, I think we're thinking the same thing."

Woosh!

Seol leaped onto the roof of a three-story building before stretching his right arm.

"What is he..."

Crack... Snap... Crackkkk!

"Wh-what the..."

"How does that... make any sense?"

"His arm is..."

Seol's arm gigantified in an instant as he got into a stance to throw Karuna.

Grab!

"Go!"

Fwoooooosh!

Ffffffft!
