The assault on the Spiral Tower proceeded without a hitch. A defensive line without even a Grand Knight to guard it, even one that put up a desperate resistance using the properties of the Celestial God's Monument, could only delay the inevitable for a short while.
The Black Knight cut through them with ease. Ambushes, traps, and contraptions were all useless in the face of his overwhelming power.
However, he stopped before the highest floor. While Kramer's insults had certainly infuriated Uther, it wasn't enough to warrant him personally delivering the punishment.
He didn't want anyone to call him petty or intolerant.
Thus, the battle for the final stronghold was left to the Knights under his command. They had no such reservations and simply swarmed forward, crushing the last vestiges of resistance.
Kramer was the first Knight Lord to be captured during the siege, and his post-battle torture was the most severe.
