BLACK MOON - Black Magic War Beginning with Jailbreak - [Full story illustration available]

The alley where two black magicians (Grigori) walk is dim; one black magician (Grigori) is taken by the knight of the night.

Not to mention the sleepless city of Elixis, whose vibrancy does not reach to the narrow alleys with few people. The night had already dawned in Benjamin's dreams, but now it was still before dawn.

The sky was still black. If you look up at the sky, you'll hardly see any stars there. Instead, the brilliance of just dazzling is emanating from the ground.

The stars on earth were illuminating the sky.

"............... What do you mean the Black Mages (Grigori) Knights need me?

The two walked silently for a while, but Bell broke that silence. It is an undisputed fact that the Knights of the Black Mages (Grigori) suddenly appeared and saved Bell's predicament, but why does Bell need it for the Knights?

"Of course that's because you're Black Sarteen."

"Ah, ah..."

"The Knights Commander (Commandor) is looking for Black Sarteens lurking around the world to join the Knights. I need the flaming power you have."

"Why are you collecting Black Sarteen?

"It's... because it's strong..."

Having heard that, Bell stares at Knight with skeptical eyes. That alone is not a big explanation.

"... then you're not convinced, are you? I want you to join the Knights, so don't hide it. It's like a few of the 13 Black Sarteens are forming an alliance and thinking about something that's not good. I don't know what they're thinking, but before it's too late, the Knights Chief (Commandor) decided to hit his hand.

That's why the Knights are gathering Black Sarteens before they are taken away by unscrupulous forces. And as I said first, Black Sarteen simply becomes a force of war "

"I see... Actually, I've been looking for the Knights of the Black Mages."

The Knights of Black Mages (Grigori) I've been looking for were looking for Bell. Whether it was just a coincidence, that was convenient for Bell.

"Are you tired of living on the run?

"⁉ ……… Why did you do it?"

"We are the Knights of the Black Mages. I know as much about Black Sarteen as I know about him in the near field. You are only 17 children. [M] Being in you is not something you can hold alone."

The Knights of the Black Mages (Grigori) knew Bell's background and qualities. It's something I don't know where my eyes are.

"Arrosha uses my body to go sinful...... I'm sorry to hurt anyone anymore or keep running away. Besides, I'm not a kid. He's a fine adult who's almost 18!

Bell is angry at Knight for being treated like a child. This would also be a symbol of his childishness.

"Huff...... right. But being an 18-year-old fine adult, it's impossible to control a powerful demon like Arrosha alone. If you don't want to do any more harm around you, don't think you should live surrounded by powerful black magicians."

"Don't say anything like I get it. You have no idea what it's like to live with a demon."

"I get it."

"Huh?"

"So, I know."

"You don't get it."

'Cause I'm Black Sarteen, too.

⁉ ︎

The truth of the shock is revealed from Knight's mouth as Bell's emotions gradually rise.

"... you should have told me sooner. I am also one of the Black Sarteens gathered by the Knights Commando. There's a demon sleeping in me too."

Knight was also a man trapped in the same suffering as Bell. Previously revealed Black Sarteen are Bell, Gopher, and Knight. Besides them, there will still be 10. Is there more Black Sarteen enrolled in the Knights of Black Mages (Grigori)?

………………

"Never mind. There are only 13 Black Sarteens in this wide world. You can't possibly think that the person in front of you is Black Sarteen."

"You were..."

"There's a demon in me who manipulates dreams."

"The devil who manipulates dreams... you look absolutely stronger than Arrosha"

"You can't compare the demons of Black Sartain."

You can't compare Black Sarteen's Black Magic (Grimoire), all 13 demons are just as powerful and completely different in nature.

"Um... I heard it's safe to join the Black Mages (Grigori) Knights even if it's a wacky black magician (Grigori), is that true?

This is the number one reason Bell was looking for the Black Mages (Grigori) Knights. I don't want to live on the run any longer.

"Black Sarteen in particular is an important human resource for the Knights. If you join the Knights, we'll do our best to keep you safe."

"Is it true!

In response to Knight, Bell smiled unexpectedly. Perhaps there is no guarantee that you will be absolutely safe there, but if you join the Knights of Black Mages (Grigori), you will have a stronger ally than ever before.

"The Knights of Black Mages (Grigori) only have Black Mages (Grigori), as their name suggests. Black magic (Grimoire) is the art of using magic with the help of demons. Everyone is carrying something for it and losing something. The Knights are also a place to save them."

"A place to save?

"Yes. When magic began to spread to humans, everyone believed it was a power given to them by God and angels. Once upon a time, there was an organization of black magicians (grigori) formed. Its name is also Black Dragon Knights. They were anachronistic. Now everyone knows the logic (proverb) of black magic (Grimoire), but it was different at the time. The Black Dragon Knights came under strong pressure and rebellion from their surroundings and had to be dissolved."

To answer Bell's questions, Knight began to talk about the history of the Knights of Black Mages (Grigori).

"At that time, the Black Mage (Grigori), who claimed that the power he had been given was due to the devil, was despised. And when the times caught up with them, Master Gregorio, a former member of the then failed Black Dragon Knights, launched the current Black Mages (Grigori) Knights."

I don't know when Knight's distant old days were, but I guess a person named Gregorio is also a being who has lived his eternal years like a pope.

"So Master Gregorio understands what black magicians (grigories) hold and suffer more than anyone else. I think it's the perfect organization for you right now."

Gregorio understands the suffering of the Black Mage (Grigori) more than anyone else. Knight wanted to tell Belle that. Gregorio is one of the few people who has experienced an age of abomination simply by using black magic (Grimoire).

"Maybe it does. Maybe it's better to join the Knights than keep running away like this"

Bell was beginning to trust the Black Mages (Grigori) Knights. If we continue to run away in the same circumstances as before, we will be in danger not only for ourselves, but also for our loved ones. That's what Bell has been sore about in his previous escape life. Limia Confederate Army, Demon Belzebab, Moon Guard (Luna Guard). Not only that, but they are also being targeted for their lives by the bandit Galan.

Talking about it, the two black magicians (Grigori) made it to the city on a night full of light. Through a dim alley. The sky remains black without dawn yet for a long night. I am reminded that Bell was meant to have had a few days of intense experience, but in fact not even a day had yet passed.

Bell was targeted for life by three humans overnight, and one ghost and one human saved his life.

"Well, that's settled. You're going to be the Knights of the Black Mages."

"Before that, there are those people I need to see. They're waiting for me."

"Well............... but first I want to take you to Knights headquarters. I have a lot to do. To say they're waiting for you, you can go see them afterwards. It's still before dawn."

Unlike when you absorbed rot flame (Hmm), Knight seems in a hurry this time.

"Right. I mean, is the Knights headquarters open at night like this?

"Yeah. The Knights headquarters is in principle open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I don't know when, where or what kind of danger is imminent."

So I guess I could also save Belle, who was after his life in the middle of the night.

"I see..."

Bell found out that the world was different than before. The towns visited so far are classified among the Sertrian kingdoms as areas with few black magicians (grigori). Elixis, the capital, has different levels. The Black Mage (Grigori) exists beyond counting.

The streets where the two black magicians (Grigori) walked were filled with light and many people were crossing to say it was before dawn. Perhaps all the people who go along with them are black magicians (grigories). The fact that this city is out of standard was something we didn't have to circle the city to find out. The only place I've ever walked since I visited this city was bigger than any town Bell has ever visited.

After walking for a while, an unfamiliar building appears forward. The building had a distinctly different appearance than the other buildings that lay alongside it, emitting a unique atmosphere. It has a similar atmosphere to the moon tower of Renato somewhere.

Its brightly painted structure is shaped like a rectangular box, with several large protrusions flanked at the top of the front. Underneath it is a stained glass window, and the windows illuminated by the city's light shine beautifully. The building, wrapped in light, also seemed somewhat divine.

"It's Arches Church. You've never seen a church before?

"Arches Church......"

The Church of Arches, present in the capital of the Kingdom of Serbia, is also famous worldwide, but naturally does not know the unknown Belle.

"The Arches Church has another appearance, and it's also known as the Arches School of Magic. Black Mages (Grigori) Hope to join the Knights has gathered from all over the world to study Black Magic (Grimoire) in that church."

Arches School of Magic Instruction is a college run by the Knights of Black Magic (Grigori), and outstanding students are assured of joining the Knights.

"And the Knights headquarters is next to Arches Church."

"Oh, really..."

As Knight put it, further back in the Arches Church, there was a huge array of buildings incomparable with the others. It deserved the name of the Knights of Black Mages (Grigori) and was a black building. It is illuminated by the city's light, which makes its existence hard to see.

Because the building itself was blending into the darkness of the night, Bell hadn't realized its existence until Knight told him to.

"Does that mean I have to study black magic (Grimoire) at that Arches School of Magic?

"Haha, you don't have to. You are not like any other student or member of the team. It's heterogeneous. I'll put on a special instructor for you."

Bell naturally questioned the Knights headquarters adjacent to the educational institution.

Belle is a barely black magician (Grigori) knowledgeable de amateur. Joining the Knights like this won't do much good.

"Special lecturer? Can I make that decision on my own? I haven't joined the Knights yet, and I need to speak to the Knights first."

"Don't worry. The Knights of Black Mages (Grigori) have members all over the world. I am the captain of the Knights Commando Gregorian elite unit, M-12. Of course, everything is as instructed by Master Gregorio. It's up to Gregorio to have a special lecturer."

Surprisingly, Knights Leader (Commandor) Gregorio foresaw that Bell would look for the Black Mages (Grigori) Knights to visit Elixis and hope to join the group.

"Really... What would the Knights Chief (Commandor) have done if I had refused to join the group?

So, the simple question that came to Bell's mind. As an ally, what happens to that Black Sarteen when Black Sarteen who wants to leave him as a pawn refuses to join the group?

"There's no way you're gonna refuse to keep on running when you're offered such a good deal, is there?

Knight had a full smile. Apparently, Gregorio and Knight didn't even think about the possibility that Bell would refuse to join the group.

"Sure it is..."

When he heard Knight's reply, Bell laughed and showed it to him. Belle felt kind of sweet to be watched, which made her feel complicated.
