King Vogt and the Guardians of the Round Table (ALDS Game 2)

In the ALDS Game 2, the battle between King Vogt's Guardians of the Round Table and the Black Sox continued in a wooded corridor. Though the Black Sox were much more brutal, the Guardians held their ground, with Sir Gavin Williams proving particularly formidable. As the Black Sox attempted to close ranks, Sir Kwan and Sir Ramírez broke through, striking down foes before the line could reform.

However, both knights soon collapsed, overtaken by a mysterious force that drained their strength. Sir Adell quickly rushed in to protect the weakened Guardians, but a dark magic afflicted the entire group, draining the energy from each knight's arms. King Vogt's knights, Sir Messick and Sir Hedges, explained that this was the work of the Dread Warlock Dolan, whose black magic had now drained the Guardians of their offensive capabilities.

Sir Hedges, with the golden 'C' emblem on his armor, discovered that only those with pure hearts could resist this spell. As the golden 'C's on the Guardians' armor began to glow, a rhythmic drumming echoed through the woods, and golden light began to spread, repelling the black magic. With renewed strength, the Guardians rallied together, fueled by their faith and spirit, ready to face whatever threats confronted them.

Meanwhile, King Vogt, now standing on the side of a long corridor in the Euclidean Stair, felt footsteps approaching. To his surprise, King Venable appeared, challenging him to a race across the wall.
