Lumina froze.
Her eyes trembled as they fixed on the black knight.
Her lips parted, and only one word came out.
"...Shin?"
The black knight didn't react. He simply stared at her.
Devoid of emotion, his lifeless red pupils dug deep into Lumina's chest.
She felt… disturbed.
The way the knight moved. The way his sword cut the air. And they were a perfect replica of Lumina's own.
And knowing who had taught her that sword art in the first place, it wasn't difficult to guess the man behind the black armored mask.
He'd gone missing months ago.
No one knew where he had vanished.
Now Lumina and the other two finally knew what Shin had become.
"I see…" Alice muttered after hearing Leon's explanation.
—GRRRRRR.
The black knight let out a guttural growl behind his mask.
And by the sound of it, he seemed like a battle-hungry berserker.
'Did someone brainwash him?' Leon thought, eyes narrowing at Shin's condition.
Lumina's body twitched despite the calm mask on her face.
