~ Prologue ~

...everything around me looks really burning red.

Monster are everywhere. Crusaders of Navea are seen fighting the monsters around the place. Analisa woke me up and then told me to use the weapon she prepared especially for me, with the power of Miracle Stone. I started moving forward to meet Andre, the leader of the Crusaders.

"You came at last!" Andre shouts. He looks so full of spirit.

I'm starting to feel wrathful, and worried at the same time. I have a feeling that I may not be able to defeat Reinhardt, the Shadow Knight. But, Andre cheered me up instead.

"Don't fret, Mineru! You can defeat him! I'm sure of it. Now, move forward. Don't let any of our enemies leave here alive! We'll cover you from behind."

I decide to believe everything Andre told me, and I feel more confident. Then, I started moving forward to fight the first demon commander there, Sheal The Corpse Grinder. After I successfully defeated him, Andre told me to keep going, to fight the second demon commander. I'm running through the stairs to the next area, and found something suspicious there – there was nobody else on that area except few of spider monster eggs.

"Strange, he's supposed to be here..." that's what I thought.

Suddenly, I heard a really loud voice.

"Hold it right here! You will never go anywhere!"

Then the second demon commander, Jasitra The Demon Tongue shows up. I successfully defeated him along with his demon minions with the help of Andre and the other crusaders. We then continue moving forward inside. I saw Diabu The Hell Fire there. I defeated him while everyone else fights the rest of his minions.

"Excellent! That should be the last commander of the remaining demon troops." Andre said to me.

Suddenly, the even greater power shows up. We then heard the voice that comes from the portal ahead of us.

"It's time to end this farce!"

At last, what I'm feared has shown up... Reinhardt shows up himself from inside the portal.

"I see that the ship of fools has not been sunk." Reinhardt said.

Magical Flames spews from the swing of his sword, annihilating everything in the hall.

"Shadow Knight, You...!"

"Oh, Andre. You have potentials. But your cowardice holds you back." He said it arrogantly.

"Your twisted future does not belong in this world, Shadow Knight!" Andre replied.

"How presumptous of you, you think you can defeat me?" Reinhardt while swinging his sword once, annihilating Andre.

"Listen, Shadow Knight. Even if I fall here, the heroes will rise to stop you! Evil will not endure!" Andre said that with burning spirit, even though his condition is really bad after the attacks from Reinhardt.

"Are you sure? Then, show me what you got."

"Are you done sputing the nonsense? I will keep fighting even if we're gonna lose!" says Reinhardt, preparing to attack.

I then attacked him, to protect Andre.

"Words can be so empty. Show me what you're made of with blood and steel!" says Reinhardt, then attacks me with his sword, only to be blocked by my weapon.

Only with a few attacks, Reinhardt has been defeated... but I feel it's not over yet! What's this feeling?

"You look so proud, after successfully defeating my illusion." Reinhardt shows up again with his real form, and now he paralyzed me... argh, damn I can't move!

"A cur like you could never hope to stand against me!" says Reinhardt while releasing flames on his hands, and then strangle me with it.

"Soon, You will be gone from this world! Let these cursed fires of hell feed on your sadness!"

Ahh... these feelings, despair... pain... What will happen after this...? My conciousness fades away along with it...

- To be continued.
