Knight crouched trembling in the corner, terrified.
He had never seen such a huge, horrifying monster!
Just its feet striking the ground were enough to make Knight's entire body go numb! After escaping from Thunder, Knight had begun searching for the Holy Lance.
Knight's thoughts were simple.
Compared to Antler, he was the weaker one. The Path of Twilight excelled at prolonging its user's life, while the Path of Adaptation specialized in hiding. If he had to choose two dead people among the three of them, Knight believed he would be one of them.
So all he could do was find the Holy Lance.
Since the Holy Lance can defeat a giant, it should also be able to defeat Aleister! Once I obtain the Holy Lance, everyone else will know where I am... But if I can fight Aleister, I won't have to fear his attack. If the Holy Lance isn't enough to defeat him, I'll be hunted down and killed sooner or later anyway.
And if Antler and the assassin who killed Dark Cloud sense the Holy Lance and come over, I can try to kill one of them—or lure Aleister here as well and have him kill them!
He was undoubtedly the weakest among these people.
That was precisely why Knight had no room for luck or wishful thinking. As the weaker one, he had to take the riskiest course of action to have any chance of winning!
That raised the question.

Since this ritual had been constructed by the Silver Crowned Dragon and the Serpent Father, and there were no Pillar Gods like the Great Sage and the Hourglass, who favored clever people, that meant the puzzle in this ritual probably
