"Ah!!!"
A scream pierced the sky. The witch's hand, which had transformed into branches, returned to its original form, but both hands were now severed at the wrist. The entire hand was missing, transformed into a mass of green fibrous wriggling creature, like a squirming plant.
The three people in the sky gasped in unison.
"Da da da!"
At the same time, a series of hurried footsteps echoed.
From the depths of the forest, a group of riders suddenly charged out.
They wore silver-gray full-body armor, many of which had sword marks. Although not glaringly eye-catching, a chilling murderous aura emanated from them.
On their chests was a badge of a blood-stained Cross Sword.
This badge was already famous in these lands; it was the Blood Cross Badge renowned since the bloody war decades ago, and the knight order bearing this badge was the one that led that war—
The Blood Knight Order!
"Draw swords! Fight! Blood-stained cross!"
"Draw swords! Fight! Blood-stained cross!"
