Ronin was quite curious why a Proud Sun Level Knight like Ridder would be so well-remembered by Sophia and the others.
In the ensuing conversation, he finally learned the answer.
First, the battle had been exceptionally brutal, enough to be seared into one's memory.
Second, the achievements of that battle were remarkable. Although the Shadow Lord, Eliot, was only Legendary, she was a prominent figure under the Demon God of Nightmares and Slaughter, and killing her was no easy feat.
Finally, Ridder himself was outstanding enough. Besides his great strength, it was precisely because of the Flame Battle Array he had developed that they achieved such a result.
Furthermore, after Ridder's death, his teacher, Wise Rapha, had a statue of him sculpted, wrote texts, and had portraits painted, which is how his story was passed down to later generations.
