The lockdown imposed by Black Prison brought the turmoil in the Royal Capital to a climax.
Citizens, nobles, soldiers, adventurers, and even the Royal Family all felt a surge of despair.
When Roy killed the Wrath Demon General, they had cheered in unison.
Then the situation took a sudden turn for the worse, and darkness enveloped a vast stretch of the Royal Capital.
It clearly looked as though the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth had descended.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Leaving the Dragon Slaying Cult out of the equation, Lakyus and Evileye were the strongest combatants currently in the Re-Estize Kingdom.
Faced with such pitch-black power, even they could only plead for someone else's help.

To her surprise, Roy readily agreed. "No problem. That's exactly why I came."
"Light shall surely shine upon the land."
"If I do not return, flee at once. Do not look back."

The resonance between kindred souls with a flair for melodrama always struck with such speed.
Evileye was much the same. Her heart, dormant for over two hundred years, pounded wildly.
He's incredible!
The agonizing memory of her kingdom's destruction
