The Black Knight Caius, who was escorting military supplies to the front lines, looked at the Lava General before him with eyes full of wariness. "But why are you being hunted by the Church of War's Knight Order? If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid I can't trust you. After all, last time I saw you, you were trying to convert me, hoping I'd become a follower of the God of War!"
The Lava General gave a bitter smile and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a mass of gruesome wounds. "You should be able to tell—these are all the work of Church of War priests. And... I've lost the God of War's blessing. I can't use divine arts to heal myself."
Worried that the Black Knight Caius wouldn't believe him, he tried to invoke the War divine arts using his old techniques. However, the moment the divine arts were activated, before they could manifest any power, they dissipated completely.
