Otherworld.
Holy Hall.
The newly advanced Second Tier Holy Knight 'Hao Shi', under the guidance of a Holy Temple Knight, arrived at a grand hall.
He took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and knelt before the figure seated at the center of the hall, loudly proclaiming.
"Hao Shi greets Carl, Your Highness!"
Carl!
The legendary Ancient Knight!
The master of the Holy Hall!
The Guardian of the World!
...
All these titles belong to the figure above.
There was a long silence, and unable to suppress his curiosity, Hao Shi secretly looked up.
The figure of the Ancient Knight was shrouded in a hazy light, with shadows flashing incessantly within.
Shadows?
No!
They were afterimages caused by the Ancient Knight's incredible speed.
Hao Shi's eyes sparkled with curiosity; in his perception, the space around the Ancient Knight seemed to have been accelerated, where one breath for others could be a meal's time for the Ancient Knight.
