– War of the Underworld 19 With the resolve to expend half of his beloved bow’s Life, the integrity knight sucked in a deep breath and uttered the final phrase. “Enhance armament!” Crimson. The humongous flames from the great copper bow dyed the invaders who reached two hundred mel away in a brilliant red. The four arrows nocked on the bowstring shone too, immersed within deep crimson flames. “—I am Integrity Knight Deusolbert Synthesis Seven! All who stand before me, you shall burn away, leaving not even your bones!!” Though it did not remain within his own memories, he once named himself similarly when taking in a single girl from a small village in the northern region eight years ago. However, with his thick steel mask now removed, his voice rang out, accentuated and sonorous. The knight’s fingers released the taut bowstring drawn to its limit. Zudoo!! Four streaks of flames shot forth in a radial formation with that roar. The first victims of what would be later known as the «War of the Underworld» were the plains goblin soldiers who charged in from the left side of the valley. The new chief of the plains goblins, Shibori, had neither wisdom nor schemes on the level of the mountain goblins’ new chief, Kosogi, and was a youth who could boast only about his constitution and strength. As such, he went up against an integrity knight, possessing overwhelming might even when alone, absolutely unprepared and simply ordered his five thousand soldiers into a tactless charge.
