Volume 20: Wolves Lurking in the Mediterranean, Chapter 14: Ghostly Demon Horse

Uma observed the two Spartain racers who were preparing to challenge him with a detached expression. It was clear that these two fellows had already joined forces, putting aside their personal glory in order to ensure the absolute dominance of Spartains in such events, a baseline they felt compelled to defend.

Chariots chased each other wildly on the racecourse, deliberately designed to be twisting and steep, with a hand merely holding the horse reins and the other already resting on the short sword at the waist.

If it hadn't been for Komer's specific request, Uma could have effortlessly left the two Spartain competitors a hundred meters behind. The Black Iron Chariot beneath him had once been the unparalleled mount with which Emperor Kennifer led the Dark Empire's army. Although the original warhorse had long since gone, Uma believed that the Ghost Warhorse bearing the reins now would not be any weaker than Emperor Kennifer's iron-blooded treasure horse from days past.
