Chapter 424: Throne Room (Part 2)

The knight who appeared in the throne room was completely clad in black armor, making it difficult to discern any physical features, but he was tall, very tall, and an imposing aura emanated from him, as did a red glow from the gaps in his helmet. He slowly approached the throne, his deep breathing echoing through the hall as he drew his large sword. His eyes glowed in the darkness, and his black armor glowed with the light of the fire that Linus and Kaizen carried.

Finally, the knight stood before the throne and raised his sword, pointing it at the intruders. A tense silence filled the chamber as the two men watched the knight, not knowing what to do or say.

Kaizen and Linus were paralyzed for a moment. Their hearts pounded with tension. They had both heard of the existence of creatures beyond mythic rank, but they had never imagined that they would encounter one in this place.

The knight stood a few feet away, and then a message appeared on Kaizen's screen.
