Blade & Bastard 3: Return of the Hrathnir (ブレイド＆バスタード3 -金剛石の騎士の帰還-, Bureido ando Basutādo Surī -Kongōseki no Kishi no Kikan-, lit. Return of the Knight of Diamonds) is an third volume light novel in Blade & Bastard series, released on December 8, 2023,[1] and later released in February 16, 2024 worldwide.[2] The volume continues from Blade & Bastard 2: Wireframe Dungeon & Dragon with Red Dead, and it features titular nod from Wizardry II: The Knight of Diamonds.
The volume also bundled together with an exclusive audio drama written entirely by Kumo Kagyu, that sold only for limited-time at Animate online store in Japan.
Summary
Within the dungeon, a famous weapon is nothing more than a basic blade. Even a broadsword that’s gutted a dragon can be reduced to shattered steel. Devastated, Garbage seeks out a replacement for her beloved sword...but what weapon could possibly match her? An old blade, sharp as diamond—the return of a legend. As ever, the dungeon’s maw yawns wide to swallow foolhardy adventurers, and Iarumas’s party continues to delve for treasure, for corpses, and for answers. One day, a member of Raraja’s former clan catches up to him and dangles a tantalizing proposition: in exchange for clues about the rhea girl’s whereabouts, Raraja must go into the dungeon alone. What could await him but a dark, lonely death? What awaits Garbage but a jagged, broken sword? And what slumbering legends might awaken in the blackest depths of the dungeon?
