Intro
—The Black Iron Canyon, leading to the Demon King's castle.
The sky was stained blood-red, and the earth trembled under the weight of thousands of military boots.
Spreading out before them were five thousand soldiers of the Demon King's army.
Pitch-black war banners filled the horizon, and countless blades reflected the setting sun.
The Hero's party: only four members.
There was only one way out. The ancient blockade gate towering behind them. But to keep that gate open, one person had to stay inside.
What awaited the one left behind was certain death.
For three to live, one must fall.
—It was a fate far too cruel.
It was Alicia the Hero who broke the silence.
Her golden hair fluttered in the wind. She quietly drew her holy sword and smiled gently.
