Chapter 4: Black Spirit Knight (Part 3)

Summary
Gerard is happy that someone talked to him and even offers Kelvin some candy. Kelvin is surprised that Gerard is talkative but spits out the candy when he realizes it's over 100 years old. Gerard mentions he awoke as a monster only recently and he was once a servant to the fallen kingdom of Alcahl. Gerard isn't opposed to serving a new master, but he needs to see if Kelvin is worthy which is what Kelvin wants.

Kelvin begins with a wind blade. Clotho tries to attack from behind but Gerard grabs Clotho's tentacles that poke out. Melfina guesses that Gerard is using Mind's Eye. Kelvin puts up an earthen rampart next as Clotho self-destructs. Gerard is impressed and unleashed an Air Burst to cut through Kelvin's earthen rampart. Kelvin makes the earth split, but Gerard counters with another Airburst. Clotho is resummoned and throws swords at Gerard. They clash for a bit until Kelvin uses Air Pressure to hold Gerard in place. Gerard tries to get up as he remembers.

His kingdom was visited by an elf known as Jildora. He wanted the Holy Empire of Deramis crushed but the king refused the elf's request. The elf left threatening that the kingdom would pay for its transgression. An epidemic hit the kingdom killing everyone including Gerard's wife and the king. Gerard left walking even as his horse fell. He offered some candy to his dead daughter in his arms. Gerard realized he was here to avenge the kingdom of Alcahl and breaks free from air pressure. He attacks ferociously with Kelvin barely able to put up an earthen rampart in time to block the attack. Kelvin gets up holding down Gerard with another air pressure. Clotho gets in front of Kelvin and uses a maximum overdrive to blast Gerard and win the fight.

Kelvin returns with a piece of Gerard's armor to the guild completing the quest. The entire guild cheers at Kelvin's victory not only against the Black Spirit knight but against Cashel as well. The guild attendant, Ange, tells Kelvin that the guildmaster will give him a special rank increase thanks to the job. As Kelvin goes up, Gerard remarks from the servant network that Ange could be a possible person for Kelvin's harem which Melfina takes offense too. The three of them argue with Clotho chiming in until they meet the guildmaster. The guildmaster remarks on how wonderful of a day it is before asking where Kelvin is from. He's revealed to have Analyze Eye rank A which means he knows who Kelvin really is.
