Chapter 796 Saint: The Dark Knight is actually my own sister?

The day after Seiya disappeared at the end of the End Mountains, an Integrity Knight dressed in full red armor landed in Rulit Village riding a dragon.

The other party identified himself as Desolbard Synthesis Simon, an Integrity Knight of the Axiom Church, and said that his purpose in coming here was to take away Alice, a sinner who violated the "Taboo Index".

With his adopted son just gone missing, and now hearing that his daughter Alice has also become a criminal who violated the "Taboo Index," Casford is devastated.

However, he also knew very well that in the human world, the "Church of Axioms" was everything, and as a father, he couldn't save his daughter Alice at this moment.

Seeing that Alice was about to be captured, her childhood friend Kirito and Eugeo naturally tried their best to stop her.

However, one of them was too weak and was pinned down by the villagers before he could even make a move, while the other had just had the idea of ​​stopping them when a sharp pain shot through his right eye.

Alice herself, however, showed no intention of resisting the Integrity Knights' attempt to capture her.

Instead, he stared blankly at the broken sword in his hand and said, "You're right, I am a sinner. If it weren't for me, my brother wouldn't have died..."

As Alice was taken away by the Integrity Knights, Seiya, far away in the Dark Realm, slowly opened his eyes amidst the scent of gardenias.

And soon he realized that he had been carried the whole time, and the gardenia scent he had just smelled was actually the scent of the other person's hair.

"Your physical functions were damaged to that extent, and you were almost on the verge of death, yet you woke up in just one day. You really are an amazing guy."

Seemingly sensing that Seiya on her back had awakened, Rivia, who was still on her way, also stopped.

Where is this place? And who are you?

Seiya did not show much wariness or hostility towards Libia in front of him.

Because he was quite aware that if the other party wanted to harm him, he would probably have died many times over while he was still unconscious.

"The area we are in now should be the plains north of the Dark Empire."

If we continue south, we will soon reach the capital of the Dark Empire.

As for me, I am a Dark Knight of the Dark Empire, named Lybia Zankel.

Before lighting the campfire, Seiya didn't bother to find out what kind of meat the skewers were when he saw the unknown meat skewers handed to him by Libia. Instead, he simply reached out and took them and began to eat them with gusto.

Having just survived a fierce battle and been unconscious for a day and a night, he was already starving.

If he's still worrying about the source and type of food, he's afraid he'll really starve to death on this plain.

"Dark Knight? You're the one we saved before?"

Seiya ate his meat skewers while staring at the female knight in front of him with surprise.

Because he genuinely hadn't expected that the dark knight they had rescued earlier, beneath her armor, would actually be such a beautiful older sister.

Things from the Dark Realm have always been taboo for the human world.

So Seiya had always believed that the creatures in the Dark Realm were as ferocious and tyrannical as the Dark Goblins they had encountered before.

Now, after meeting Rivia, Seiya realizes that there are also humans living in the Dark Realm.

"Wasn't it you who saved me, not you?"

Libia quickly grasped the key point in Seiya's words and looked at him with some surprise, asking, "To be precise, the person who used divine magic to heal your injuries was my sister Alice, and she was also the first to discover you."

As for those dark goblins, I did indeed kill them all.

After listening to Seiya explain the whole story, Libia smiled with relief and said, "From what you've said, your sister and friend should be out of danger."

If it were truly because of saving me that you children suffered such misfortune, even if you were lucky enough to survive, I would probably feel guilty for the rest of my life.

It's a real shame that I wasn't able to meet your sister in person and express my gratitude to her.

But since your sister is such a kind person, she must be very gentle too, right?

As for the sibling relationship between Alice and Seiya, Libia's face showed a look of longing and reminiscence, while she pulled out a crystal necklace from her East African Rift Valley.

As if to confide in someone, or perhaps to herself, Libia looked at the crystal necklace in her hand and said, "I should have had a younger brother too."

My father was once a Dark Knight of the Dark Empire, and my mother was from your human realm.

My mother seems to have been a noble lady from the human world, but she fled to the border to seek refuge because she opposed the political marriage arranged by her family.

By chance, my father and mother met and fell in love, but because of their opposing identities, their marriage could not be blessed.

When I was about ten years old, my mother’s identity as a human was exposed. In order to escape the pursuit of those extremists, my father and mother, who were pregnant at the time, planned to run back to the human world for temporary refuge.

Unfortunately, they were eventually caught by the people of the Dark Realm and died at the end of this End Mountain Range. Only I, who was being entrusted to my father's family at the time, survived.

"Because my father's Zankel family was considered a prominent family in the Dark Empire, my father and mother's remains were preserved."

The mother was pregnant when she fled, but the baby in her womb was already born when she died.

As Libia finished speaking, Seiya looked up and chimed in, "So you think that when your parents died, they left your younger brother somewhere in the End Mountains, and that he might even still be alive?"

"My brother is my only family in this world, so ever since I became the Dark Knight, I have come to the End Mountains every month to try to find his whereabouts."

However, after so many years, he still gained nothing.

Looking back now, even if my parents hid my younger brother in a safe place, a baby in a dangerous place like the End Mountains would probably have met with certain death long ago, wouldn't it?

Seeing the forlorn expression on Livia's face, Seiya didn't know how to comfort her.

Although he also felt in his heart that, given the situation at the time, the other party, as the baby's younger brother, would probably have become the meal of the dark creatures long ago unless he was a chosen one with incredible luck.

But given the current situation, he naturally couldn't say such hurtful words.

"Well, there are always miracles in the world, aren't there? Over the years, every time you take a vacation, you go to the End of the Mountains, isn't that because you believe in such a possibility?"

Is that crystal necklace on your chest the way you find your younger brother?

Can I take a look? I'm planning to venture into the Nolancarus Empire soon.

If your mother is indeed a noblewoman from the Empire, I might be able to keep an eye out for her.
