A Knight on the Way

Chapters 96 - 100

A formidable warrior in the service of the Western Church crosses paths with the nation of Tempest, reviving latent tensions between the two factions and hinting at new confrontations to come. This knight, driven by an unshakable conviction in his purifying mission, embodies on his own the persistent human distrust of monsters, however civilized they may be. Once again, Rimuru must navigate between firmness and diplomacy to keep a simple misunderstanding from spiraling into open conflict. This tense encounter fits into the larger web woven by Clayman, whose manipulations continue to fan the embers of a war that many fear is now inevitable.
