Later, news of Frey's battle against Thanatos spread far and wide.
Gehrman had intentionally made sure of that.
Soon everyone knew that Frey Starlight had defeated one of the peak warriors, which caused an enormous uproar.
Especially among the Black Knights, the group that claimed to follow him.
It could be said that their activity had grown more violent than ever after their idol achieved such a feat.
An enormous number of soldiers joined their ranks.
In fact, the Black Knights organization had effectively become the dominant force within the army inside the walls of the Shadow Sect.
Overnight, Frey had become something greater than a hero.
He had become something else entirely.
The closest way to describe it would be something akin to a religious sect.
A sect revolving around one single man.
Their presence created tension among those who did not belong to them because of their aggressive actions.
Yet the leaders said nothing.
They took no action against them.
