Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

"So you're the one who saved my sister? Thank you."

Yuira looked at Hell Knight, then stood up and descended the stairs.

Yuira asked, "What's your name?"

Hell Knight stood up, "My name is Rea."

"Rea?... So Rea, do you want to join us?"

"You mean Saint Associate? No, I don't want to join you."

Yuira smiled faintly and shook his head. "No. What I mean is, join the Knights Of Human."

"Knights Of Human? What's that?" Hell Knight asked.

"You know? Dark Mage, who leads the Demons, has very powerful subordinates, they are the Knights Of Demon. So as a resistance, we created the Knights Of Human."

"I don't really care about the state of this World. So I refuse." Hell Knight replied. "Alright, if that's what you wish... But come with us tomorrow to the Adventurer's City, Uvial."

In Artyxia City, Royal Knight and Sword Knight surveyed the city. They saw many civilian corpses and ruined buildings. They arrived at the city square and saw two people wearing Full Armor with green cloth attached to their armor, standing in front of the surviving citizens.

The man holding a Spear weapon was Spear Knight, while the woman with a Bow was Bow Knight.

Spear Knight saw Sword Knight and Royal Knight, then waved. "Hey! Over here!"

Royal Knight and Sword Knight approached them. Bow Knight watched them walk closer.

"So, where should we go first?" Sword Knight turned to face Royal Knight.

"There's one place I'm thinking of going."

Bow Knight asked, "Where is that?"

"We're going to Pertula City." Royal Knight replied.

A few hours later, Royal Knight, Sword Knight, Spear Knight, Bow Knight, and the surviving citizens were now in front of a giant, semi-circular building. The building was made of iron, and in front of them was a giant iron gate. The building was Pertula City.

The gate began to open, then they all entered. They saw all the buildings made of iron and various giant machines, and there was a golden gear statue in the center of the city.

Royal Knight saw a guard, then approached him. "Hey, can I meet the leader?"

The guard replied, "Certainly. I will inform him."

A few minutes later, Royal Knight, Sword Knight, Spear Knight, and Bow Knight entered a room. They saw a table and chairs, and behind the chair was someone wearing Full Armor in brown and a brown cloak. That person also wore a brown Top Hat with golden gear ornaments on the front of his hat. He was Mechanical Knight, the leader and creator of Pertula City.

Royal Knight said, "Excuse me, we brought refugees here."

Mechanical Knight turned around. "It's alright, happy to help. But... why are you back here? What happened in Artyxia City?"

"That city was destroyed by Dark Mage, and also... Your Majesty has passed away and Dark Mage took his body." Royal Knight replied.

"I'm sorry, my condolences."

"It's alright."

"Sir Royal Knight, I have a request for you and the three of you."

Royal Knight asked, "What is it?"

"I want you to guard the city's North and South gates!"

Spear Knight curiously asked Mechanical Knight, "What's wrong with the city gates?"

Mechanical Knight began to answer, "These city gates are very weak, it would be dangerous if an attack happened there."

"Alright, we'll do it." Royal Knight said.

In the Demon Royal Castle, Dark Mage sat on the Demon King's throne, with Shadow Knight, Demon Knight, and Bandit Knight kneeling before him. There was also a large person there, with red skin and no lips, showing his teeth, and only wearing a helmet with a shattered mouthguard. He also held a stone Mace. He was Zombie Knight, one of the members of the Knights Of Demon.

"I have destroyed Artyxia City, and tonight, we will destroy the refugee city, Pertula. Demon Knight, Zombie Knight. I want you to lead the destruction of that city."

"Yes, Master," Demon Knight replied.

A few hours later, in Pertula City, at night. The south gate was guarded by Royal Knight and Spear Knight, and the north gate was guarded by Sword Knight and Bow Knight. At the North Gate, Sword Knight and Bow Knight were on guard. From a distance, Demon Knight, Zombie Knight, and hundreds of Zombies were lined up behind them.

Demon Knight said, "Good, only one person is guarding that gate. Hey Zombie, you and your subordinates will feast tonight."

At the South Gate, Royal Knight and Spear were on guard.

Spear Knight yawned. "How much longer do we have to guard?"

"Be patient, we owe him this." Royal Knight replied.

As they both guarded the building, a loud speaker suddenly blared. "Attack at the North Gate!"

Spear Knight was shocked, "North Gate?"

Royal Knight said, "That means Sword Knight and Bow Knight are under attack."

Royal Knight and Spear Knight immediately ran towards the north gate.

A few minutes later, they both arrived at the north gate. They saw hundreds of refugee corpses and also saw Sword Knight holding off Demon Knight's attack. Spear Knight was shocked to see Bow Knight lying on the ground with a stab wound in her stomach, bleeding profusely.

Spear Knight, in a panicked tone, "N-No, Nuvy!"

Spear Knight frantically ran towards Bow Knight, but Zombie Knight appeared beside him, then swung his Mace sideways, sending Spear Knight flying into a building.

The Zombies began to rush in. Royal Knight, seeing this, immediately killed the Zombies in front of him. Spear Knight immediately got up and ran towards Zombie Knight, but Royal Knight turned around and held him back.

"Don't go! Control your emotions!" Royal Knight said.

Spear Knight replied, "But... he wounded my fiancée!"

Royal Knight continued to restrain Spear Knight with difficulty, then Mechanical Knight arrived.

Mechanical Knight shouted, "Quickly go! We can't fight them now!"

Sword Knight began to swing his sword harder, making Demon Knight retreat a few steps, then Sword Knight turned and ran. Zombie Knight began to approach Bow Knight's body. He lifted Bow Knight's body then opened his mouth wide.

Spear Knight screamed in despair, "No! No! No!" Spear Knight, seeing that, remembered the moments they first met until they got engaged. Then Zombie Knight began to eat Bow Knight, which made Spear Knight go silent watching it happen. Sword Knight quickly pulled Spear Knight, then they all fled Pertula City along with some surviving refugees.
