As the war progressed, Zelgius took a keener interest in Ike's growth as a warrior. He appeared at the battle of Castle Delbray to observe from a far, and was challenged to another duel by Ike. Ike failed to injure him at all because of his blessed armor, and the Black Knight instructed him to wield Ragnell the next time they fought so that they could have a proper fight.

Soon after, the Black Knight concocts a plan to abduct [[Leanne]], one of the two surviving herons, from [[Phoenicis|Phoenicis Castle]] for use by Ashnard.

He then delivered Leanne to Ashnard, who had her imprisoned at Grinea Tower in preparation for awakening the dark god through the use of galdrar. After Gallia and Phoenicis' armies joined the war on Crimea's side following the battle at Marhaut range, Ashnard ordered the Black Knight to divide up the Daein forces to defend both Fort Pinell and Nados Castle, and then inquired after Ashnard's order to have Ena killed. While Ashnard no longer cared about Ena's fate, so long as she did not interfere with [[Rajaion|his dragon mount]], the Black Knight chose to proceed with executing her.

While the Phoenicis and Gallian armies engaged Daein forces at Nados Castle, the Black Knight arrived at the scene of a battle and defeated an entire unit by himself, then left the defense of the castle to General [[Hafedd]] while he dealt with Ena. After promising to deliver an apology to [[Nasir]] for her, the Black Knight struck her with a grievous but non-fatal blow, just as Ike arrived. Ike challenged him to single combat, wielding Ragnell, to avenge his father once and for all. Ike revealed as they fought that Greil had crippled himself, explaining the Black Knight's easy victory, and Zelgius realized that Ike might someday equal Greil in strength and be a worthier opponent. In order to ensure that Ike reached his potential and that he someday had a worthy battle, Zelgius let Ike win their duel.<ref>{{Cite|'''Ike:''' So, you are alive.
