Karnak, Monarch of Death

Chapter 270: The Tower of Dawn (4)

The command to advance was given. They were to march into the lightning-struck, fire-scorched, earth-rending, air-boiling tempest, a realm where only death awaited. Anyone who valued their life couldn’t help but recoil.

"We’re to charge there?"

"This is insane!"

"We’ll all be killed!"

The soldiers trembled in terror. The knights, forcing composure, did their best to rally them.

"Trust in the archmage!"

"She will protect us!"

"Would she have given such an order otherwise?"

Of course, the knights were afraid too. But they had their own convictions. It was an order that defied all logic. And precisely because it did, it had to mean there was some unthinkable, miraculous twist waiting.

After all, the one who gave the command was none other than the very person who had summoned this apocalypse!

"Have faith!"

"Lady Elezar will not let us fall!"
