Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

"Mother, I'm sorry, I betrayed you."

"The Noble Knight" Levi, having betrayed his identity as a knight, finally experienced unparalleled power.

What will happen after that? Will he continue down a path of depravity after stealing?

Levi didn't know.

He was just terrified.

Fortunately, his entourage stopped him.

Mother, thank you for watching over me until the very end.

Reeves' voice gradually faded. He lowered his head, his helmet rolled off, revealing a serene and peaceful face with a scraggly beard.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed before Luo An's eyes.

[Unlock Achievement: Compassion]

[Mercy: Grant death to ten noble knights.]

Current progress (1/10)

Silently watching the golden light appear and disappear, after a long while, Luo An mustered a bit of strength, propped himself up on his arms, and staggered to his feet.

Looking up at Levi's calm face, why did Roan's heart ache even though he had responded to Lord Levi's wishes?

Luo An said softly, "Rest in peace, Lord Levi."

Just then, crisp applause echoed through the woods.

clap clap.

"Lord Roan, what a magnificent battle!" The Black God "Guard" stepped onto the tree branches and came to Roan.

"Since the Age of Gods, I have not seen a knight who has mastered the Howl of the Wolf to such a degree."

"What surprises me even more is you, Lord Roan, in your stature..."

Luo An's eyes narrowed slightly. He was about to use his breathing technique when he was in so much pain that he bent over and knelt on the ground, unable to control his violent coughing.

"Lord Luo An, don't move, you've injured your lung," the guard said calmly.

"If you want to fight me, you can eat Lord Levi's lungs."

His lungs have become dragon lungs.

"roll."

Luo An abruptly raised his head. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly sensed something was wrong.

This guard's breathing rate and manner were completely different from the previous guard.

Appearance and demeanor can be faked. But breathing is different; changing one's breathing pattern requires years of training and cannot be changed arbitrarily.

"Who are you?"

The guard chuckled. He coughed up blood. He stepped back halfway with his right foot, placed his hand on his heart, and gave Roan a knightly salute.

"I am the esteemed knight, Haib Lorton."

Roan was taken aback. Haibo was the original wandering knight, entrusted by the "Great Mother" Zeel to protect her across the wilderness. Along the way, he was drawn to Zeel, learned miracles, and became her protector—a legendary knight.

The story of Hybo was elevated to a miracle, which became the first pilgrimage, the pilgrimage of the wandering knight and the nun.

"It's you! You're the God of Black? Lord Levi was bewitched by you?" Roan asked hoarsely.

Haibo shook his head slightly. "Lord Roan, I did have a brief exchange with Lord Levi. But I absolutely did not try to seduce Lord Levi."

As he spoke, "Hyper" looked at Levi and sighed.

"Levi's reputation for 'nobility' is beyond our ability to sway his mind. I merely relayed to him how to properly perform the Dragon Feast, nothing more."

"Bullshit!" Roan abruptly raised his head. "Stop talking nonsense. If you hadn't told Reeves about the Dragon Offering Ceremony, he definitely wouldn't have started it so quickly!"

Why did you do that?

Haibo paused, then smiled again and shook his head slightly. "Clever, Lord Luoan. We were wrong to think we could deceive Lord Luoan with just words."

For this, I apologize to you.” Haib bowed again. “As for why, we are not Aphrodite, and there is no need to explain to that chattering nun.”

As he spoke, "Haibo" spat out another mouthful of blood.

He frowned slightly and wiped his mouth. He bowed again. "Excuse me. The owner of this body is too weak; please forgive me for needing to conserve my strength."

"I apologize, Lord Roan. I am not here merely to witness Lord Levi's death. I am here to await an old friend."

Haibo bowed once more, then turned and gazed calmly into the distance.

Following his gaze, Luo An suddenly felt a heavy metallic scraping sound.

A knight clad in heavy black iron armor, stepping on withered trees that had been cut in half, moved slowly and deliberately across the battlefield toward the border.

One of the legendary knights, "Black Iron" Io.

The moonlight shone on the knight's armor, yet it reflected not a single ray of light.

"Old friend. You did come here," Haibo said with deep emotion. "Even as bones, you haven't forgotten our common mother, Lady Tsering?"

Luo An was taken aback, then suddenly realized that both of them were knights from the Age of Gods and were related to the Great Mother, Ciel, so it was not surprising that they knew each other.

Just then, "Black Iron" Io suddenly stopped, slowly turned around, and drew his longsword.

Haibo frowned slightly. "Sorry, old friend, this is not my body. I have no intention of fighting you."

He turned to Roan and bowed again. "Goodbye, Roan Yunina, may Tsering always watch over you."

After speaking, the guard lowered his head. When he raised his head again, his breathing became steady and erratic once more.

"Black Iron" Io also sheathed his longsword, slowly adjusted his direction, and moved forward once again.

"Lord Luo An, Lord Haibo has left," the guard said calmly.

"Do you want me to help you up?"

Luo An shook his head, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and stood up. With each exhale, his whole body convulsed violently.

Especially his lungs; even breathing now hurts for Luo An.

After glancing at Levi's, Luo An became even angrier.

That noble knight, Haibo, actually wanted Roan to eat Levi's.

Despite the pain, Luo An spoke slowly.

The guard suddenly took a step back and bowed. "Lord Luo An, I have a request."

"Please don't tell anyone that I am a follower of the Black God. I still want to stay in the guard."

Upon hearing this, Luo An couldn't help but laugh. He sized up the guard. "What are you talking about? You think I'd let you cultists live?"

"I know." The guard's face remained calm. "This is just my request; I dare not hope for more. Considering my position in informing Lord Reeves, please don't tell the guards about my situation. I just want to go home; I still have a wife and daughter."

"..." Luo An was speechless for a moment.

"Fine, you can leave now. I don't want to kill you for the time being." With Levi dead, Roan no longer cared about the remote fortress.

"Yes." The guard remained calm, bowed deeply, took a few steps back, and slowly left.

"By the way, I have something to say." Luo An stopped the guard, looking directly into his eyes—or rather, into the Black God.

"Hab Lorton, you should be able to hear me."

"One day, I will definitely kill you. You have a physical body, so I will kill your physical body; you are the God of Black, so I will kill the God of Black."

"I will never forget the grudge against Levi."
