Chapter 166.2


He was curious how Isaac, a follower of the Codex of Light, could wield such a sword aura, but he dared not ask.

At that moment, Isaac muttered looking somewhere in the distance.

“Such impressive folks.”

“AAAAHHHHH!!”

Thud thud thud! The junior knight who had fled earlier had now returned on horseback, charging at Isaac. It must have been their mission to survive and report back, but it was their duty as followers of Elil that overwhelmed them.

“Stand down, Holy Grail knight...!”

Isaac neither wanted to confront the charging horse nor avoid it.

He simply blinked for a moment and then activated the Eyes of Chaos.

His eyes started to swirl with a faint violet hue, quickly capturing the knight’s vision, thoughts, and instincts. No strong suggestion was needed.

The skill with which he had quickly downed the senior knights and the rising sword aura.

The junior knight was already terrified, and the fear of the rider easily transmitted to the horse.

Heeheeheehee!

The horse bucked wildly, throwing the knight to the ground. With a loud crash, the knight moaned and couldn’t move.

Isaac kicked the fallen knight over with his foot and said,

“Seems like you all prefer talking while lying down? Let’s have a chat then.”

***

“...We are the Elion Knights, loyal to General Lianne Georg.”

If there are Aldeon Knights in the capital Aldeon, then there are Elion Knights in the Holy Land Elion.

Despite sounding mundane, the Aldeon Knights are known as the White Lion Knights, and the Elion Knights are known as the Black Hawk Knights.

However, they are commonly referred to by their regional names simply for ease of remembrance.

“Yeah. What’s your name?”

Isaac asked the knight who had first charged but was knocked down by a groin kick. He was the highest-ranking and relatively in better condition than the others. The knight hesitated for a moment before responding reluctantly,

That was typical of Elil and its followers, especially the conservative guardians of the Holy Land of Elion.

‘There’s something off here.’

Isaac considered this reaction to be not normal.

“Alright, I understand. So you intended to kill and bury me quietly, making it seem as if I was never here?”

“.......”

Hurk did not respond. His silence was admission enough that killing Isaac had been one of their options.

Isaac expanded his thoughts.

Reyna Hilde had misinformed him about his arrival date, and Edelred had not even received a report.

Initially, he thought it was just poor administration, but knowing that the Georg faction thought this way made him reconsider.

‘Not just Georg, but many knights in Elil might think this way.’

Isaac thought even broader.

‘Perhaps someone in Elil, or an angel of Elil, doesn’t want to meddle in the affairs of the Gerthonia Empire?’

Focusing his thoughts, Isaac deemed it premature to conclude right now. He looked over the sitting Elion knights and gestured to the youngest who had fallen from the horse.

“You, the youngest, go home.”

“What? Wh, why...?”

“The rest are hostages. You go and tell Georg my message.”

He looked anxiously at the other senior knights. Including Hurk, the knights had solemn expressions, but they knew that Isaac was showing mercy. At least one must return to relay what had happened here and the circumstances.

“...What message are you speaking of?”

Isaac quietly organized his thoughts before speaking.

“It’s time for Elil to break its silence.”
