The Knight of Embers - Chapter 64

As always , nothing is white and black with this author.
Btw for those confused by the translation
Giraffe is not weaker now that he exhausted his power, he’s stronger, because now he doesn’t have to hold back, and while he cannot use a one shot kill like before, he will be much more powerful now because he can fight without having to hold his power back. That’s what he meant.

Also yes, Geas/gears are ridiculously, there is a Knight who can only attack people who is touching the ground, so basically, anyone who jumps or can fly can totally defeat her.

The reason being is that Geas function mainly with the Knight in question’s personality. Knight values vary. So if one Knight Geas was ” You can only kill wicked people”, but that Knight in question considers everyone but himself wicked, that means he can kill anyone he wants and nothing can control him.

Thar’s the same reason why every knight gets two Geas. One geas is to swear allegiance to the Emperor, but what’s allegiance can also vary from knight to knight. What if one knight considers allegiance to the ”true” Emperor, which is himself ? For that reason every knight gets a geas that weakens their combat, and makes it so, if he ever betrays the Emperor, other knights, and the Emperor himself ( who is also QUITE powerful ) can best them in combat.
