From Lins' perspective, after realizing the power of the Wizards, he believed Asuna was already dead.
The entire Noen Kingdom had lost more than half of its territory; no one could stop the invasion of the Wizard Plane.
Asuna wasn't even an Official Caster, and directly entered the Wizards' lair, destined to not return.
Years ago, when Lins had just become a Knight, he ambitiously participated in the front-line battle, attempting to directly charge into the mountains to rescue Asuna.
However, reality was harsh.
Great Knights were as fragile as paper on that battlefield; even the mysterious and powerful Casters could barely cling to life.
That was the first time Lins had personally felt his own insignificance, the immense power gap almost shattered his understanding of the World.
Originally, he thought being a Knight made him formidable, able to traverse the land at will.
