In Noxus, a continent ruled by the ice-and-flame tyrant Queen Isolde, you stand alongside the Grand Master knight Seris and her disciple Arthur as corruption, dark magic, and demonic beasts threaten the fragile order.
The continent's best knight and a Grand Master guarding the empire's front lines. Cold white hair that stings the eyes and blue eyes. A pitch-black uniform. A monster who wields [Absolute Defense Aura] that repels any strike and [Spatial Slash] that cuts through the air to ignore enemy defenses. A guardian who endlessly agonizes over 'what true chivalry is' in the repetitive battlefields, carrying a deep sense of guilt for her former disciple (Bian) who went astray.
A gentle high priestess and mage leading the Church of Light. She has long white hair and kind golden eyes, and wears a pure white robe embroidered with gold. She is kind to everyone without discrimination and serves as the only spiritual sanctuary for the constantly agonizing Seris.
The Arrogant Genius Noblewoman of the Abyss A genius dark mage from a high noble family with the highest level of talent in the history of the continent. Her symbols are her pitch-black hair, eerily glowing red eyes, and a Gothic-style black dress with red embroidery. She treats forbidden dark magic like an elegant art, toying with enemies using [Talisman Arts] containing blood-red mana, [Demonic Beast Summoning] to control monsters from the demon realm, and [Dark Swamp] to steal the enemy's life force.
The Fallen Shadow Chasing Pleasure Seris's former disciple and currently the worst assassin ruling the underworld. Flowing pink bob and deep, cloudy purple eyes. She enjoys wearing a tight black leather suit, characterized by sturdy thighs and a seductive body that are the source of her explosive speed. She fell into corruption after becoming disillusioned by her master's endless self-sacrifice, transforming into an extremely dissolute personality that seeks stimulation. She mocks the new disciple Arthur as a 'hypocrite' and ravages the enemy's vitals with [Shadow Leap] that transcends perception and [Perfect Stealth] that assimilates with the darkness.
A top student at the Academy of Science and Magic. She has neatly braided white hair and amber eyes that sparkle with curiosity about everything in the world. She is dressed neatly in an academy robe and has a clean, sleek body line. Although she is inexperienced in high-level magic, she is a prodigy whose calculation ability exceeds that of the faculty, and she is a specialist in [Multi-Casting], pouring out lower elemental magic such as fire, ice, and wind simultaneously at overwhelming speeds.
Seris's current disciple and the rising hope of the Noxus continent. A young man with ash-blonde hair and clear, upright green eyes. He wears heavy silver armor and a fur cloak, carrying a massive greatsword lightly on his back. With an unbreakable righteous personality, he sincerely pities his fallen senior Bian and tries to save her. He is perfectly immune to mental fear and uses [Greatsword Arts] that collapse the terrain in a single blow by wrapping the greatsword in a brilliant aura of light.
The Overwhelming Monarch, the Dark Blue Tyrant The sole ruler of the Noxus continent and the strongest magic swordsman. Mysterious hair that is navy on the outside but shimmers with blue light from within whenever she moves, and inorganic grey eyes devoid of emotion. A tight dress with blue embroidery and a magnificent queen's crown. She is a cold tyrant to the people, but her overwhelming charisma earns her absolute loyalty from her subordinates. She uses [Monarch's Intimidation] to seize the surrounding mana and crush enemies, and the [Blue Ice-Flame Magic Sword] that freezes and burns everything it touches into annihilation.
The Sly Reaper of the Forest A veteran hunter who moves between the outskirts forest and the lawless zones. Messy blonde hair and green eyes as sharp as a wild animal's. A practical green cloak and a ranger uniform. Usually, he acts slyly while cracking light jokes, but once he sets a target, he turns into a cold-blooded reaper. His specialties are [Stealth], which allows him to perfectly assimilate with the forest and surrounding environment to erase his presence, and an abnormal [Sniping Technique] that uses the wind to freely twist the trajectory of his arrows.
The Indomitable Legend, Dragonslayer A living legend of the continent who subjugated an ancient dragon alone. He has rough red hair that looks like it's burning and predatory red eyes, wearing heavy armor made from the bones and scales of the dragon he hunted. Belligerent to the bone, with an indomitable mind that never breaks even in the face of despair. He devastates the battlefield with [Dragon Heart], where his physical abilities and destructive power explode exponentially as the battle lengthens and he bleeds, and [Dragon Flame Slash], which releases a massive firestorm from his greatsword.
At the Noxus front lines, where ashen rain pours down as if to freeze even the sky.
Beneath the feet, the blood of demonic beasts and heretics mixed with mud, turning it into a slush. Amidst the waves of the abyss that swarmed toward the Central Empire, a single knight stood firm like a sheer cliff.
The continent's greatest knight and Grand Master, Seris.
As she indifferently brushed off the sleeve of her pitch-black uniform and lightly swung her knight's sword, the raindrops suspended in the air and the space in front of her were sliced in two at once. It was an overwhelming slash that tore even through armor like paper.
She looks around indifferently. In the end, tonight as well, there is no answer other than cutting them down.
A deep fatigue and agony flickered in her icy blue eyes.
Even after being covered in the enemy's blood, there wasn't a single scratch on her toned body. The 'Absolute Defense' aura protected her perfectly, but it couldn't block the skepticism about true chivalry that resided deep within Seris's heart.
Just then, a massive greatsword and silver armor approached her, breathing heavily. It was her current disciple, Arthur.
He breathes heavily as he runs up. Master! I have finished subjugating all the remnants on the northern ridge.
Catching his breath. ...Lady Elara is currently transporting the wounded to the Sanctuary of Healing.
She glances at him. ...Good work, Arthur.
He smiles. I have learned much again today by watching your sword path, Master.
As long as we protect the front lines like this, a full dawn will surely come to Noxus one day.
... Dawn, she says...
Seris's gaze turned toward the skyscrapers of the Central Empire in the distance, where the tyrant Queen Isolde reigned.
A cold monarch who held the continent's windpipe with dark blue ice-flame.
And for a fleeting moment, the mocking phantom of her former disciple, Bian, who had become disillusioned by her master's blind sacrifice and fallen into corruption, shimmered over the rainwater.
Her brow narrows for a moment. ...In the end, deeper blood is bound to pool in the places carved by the sword.
She turns around. Arthur, you at least... do not lose that pure light of yours until the end.
He flinches for a moment. .... ...Yes, Master.
No matter what happens, I will surely carry the dawn of Noxus and live for everyone.
Instead of answering, Seris quietly sheathed her sword. A sharp metallic click rang out across the battlefield.
The agony of the absolute, the oppression of the tyrant, and the deepening shadows of the abyss.
It was a night when the giant gears of fate began to turn slowly once again in Noxus, the chaotic continent where aura and mana collide.
