Chapter Title: Prologue
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The eternal frozen tundra of blizzards at the northernmost tip of the continent.
A massive battle was raging there right now.
[...Impressive. Indeed worthy to be called my adversary. Knight of Light!]
The being floated in the air, its black robe billowing as it scattered dark energy.
With hordes of undead at its command, it looked just like the Demon King himself descending upon the world.
The calamity reborn on the continent. The Immortal King.
Inside the bizarre mask cracked from fierce combat, only a bare skull remained, and the blue soul flames rising from its eye sockets struck terror into all who beheld them.
"As expected of the nightmare of the continent, Immortal King! But we will never give up. As long as the power of light is with us, we will not fall!"
The knight facing it head-on, his sword of light at the ready, shouted boldly.
Though his armor was battered in places from the prolonged fight and wounds marred his body, his eyes blazed with unyielding conviction.
"Yeah, it's not as big a deal as we thought, right?"
"If we pool our strength, we can definitely take it down!"
And his comrades fighting by his side.
Each one a hero who had overcome countless trials to reach this point.
Boom—!
Soon, as the knight's comrades held back the undead, the Knight of Light and the Immortal King resumed the battle they had fought so many times before.
The sword wreathed in dawn light cleaved through pitch-black darkness, tracing beautiful arcs, while the cursed abyss bared its fangs, eager to devour the glow.
A flawless chain of attacks and counters, an unending flow of combat.
Their precisely exchanged blows were so seamless and elegant, they almost looked like a scripted play.
'But it is scripted, after all. How the hell did things end up like this...?'
That's right.
The terror reborn on the continent, the walking calamity: the Immortal King.
The Holy Knight of the Church of the Main God, the Sword of Conviction: the Knight of Light.
And even himself, lounging in a warm room, watching the spectacle like it was a movie while tearing into a bucket of chicken.
They were all 'me'.
