Aspharr and Imphyy had changed the past, and secured Ueda Castle. Some time later, however, word was received from the guards stationed there that it had been lost once more. Thereafter, all contact with the forces in that area was lost. Azura sensed a disturbance in space and time in the direction of Ueda Castle. They had sown together the torn fabric of time, but now it seemed their work had been undone. A mighty power now threatened thr future of Ueda Castle. They could not afford to lose this key stronghold in their war against the Zinyak Army. Imphyy bravely volunteered to lead the force to reclaim the castle once more. She led a band of warriors to Ueda, ready to face an enemy so terrible that the very bonds of time and space held no sway. Just who would they find there...?
-Ueda Castle-
Imphyy: "The demons are laying siege to Ueda Castle... What is going on?"
Azura: "I do not know. But I do sense a tremendous instability in this area... It is as if this whole land is being twisted from without by a mighty force, and the river of time is now wild and treacherous."
Imphyy: "And now that mighty force has broken down our defenses at Ueda Castle?"
Ayumu: "We can't tell anything from here. Let's get a closer look-preferably from within the castle. Anyone this powerful ought to be worth meeting. Hey, we might even find ourselves a new friend!"
The Coalition Army has begun recon within the castle!
Imphyy: "Lord Aspharr gave me his aid t protect this castle, and now it is lost again. It is my duty to reclaim it."
Lei Bin: "Ueda Castle has been lost again?! All this time travelling and dimension bending – I don't like it one bit."
Zinyak Soldier: "Unknown officers have appeared around Ueda Castle! They're stopping our advance!"
Talen: "Yuan Shao's still not here...? Well, we don't need him anyway! Take out all enemy forces around the castle!"
The Zinyak Army is fighting the officers around Ueda Castle!
Ayumu: "Ueda Castle is defended by an unknown force. The Zinyak Army appears to be laying siege to it. I hope this isn't one of Juri's traps, like Dongkou. We'd better remain vigilant."
Defeat the Zinyak Army, which is attacking Ueda Castle!
Asta: "Juri fooled us with her scheming at Dongkou. This time, I must show the enemy the power of the Black Clover."
Asta is advancing in order to recapture Ueda Castle!
Imphyy: "We must strike together at all times. We don't know who is in the castle."
Imphyy is advancing in order to assist Asta!
Zinyak Soldier: "The humas are advancing from the northeast!"
Talen: "Enemy reinforcements? Prepare to engage!"
The Zinyak Army has begun to fight back against the Coalition Army!
Zinyak Soldier: "Wh- Where didyou lot come from?!"
The Zinyak Army is in a state of confusion due to the appearance of mysterious officers! Zinyak Army, morale decreased!
Lei Bin: "Hmm? More soldiers?"
Azura: "This door has been shut using powerful sorcery. Our adversary is no ordinary army."
The doors are tightlty shut due to some myserious sorcery!
Talen: "It's no good! Retreat!"
The Zinyak Army is withdrawing!
Asta: "Yuan Shao's men and the demons have withdrawn."
Imphyy: "But we are not out of the woods yet. We must ascertain what is heppening in the castle."
Lei Bin: "Finally, a chance to catch our breath - ...Hmmm? They're turning toward us now!"
The mysterious officers are attacking the Coalition Army!
Imphyy: "It looks like they're not our allies... They intend to keep us out of the castle."
Defeat all of the officers guarding Ueda Castle!
Azura: "The sorcery on the gate must have been removed. The soldiers within are heading this way."
The sorcery at the Ueda Castle South Gates, the Eastern Checkpoint and the Central Checkpoint has been nullified! The gates beneath Ueda Castle are open! The forces on the eastern side of Ueda Castle are advancing toward the Coalition Army Main Camp!
Ayumu: "And if they insist on advancing on us without explaining themselves, then we have no choince but to fight."
Asta: "Who are they?! They're not human – they're too strong!"
Taigong: "These soldiers are not moving of their own volition."
The mysterious officer have appreared!
Asta: "Ugh, there's still more of them! Why won't they just give up?!"
Imphyy: "We have to find the one controlling these soldiers, but he doesn't seem to be here."
Ayumu: "Strange... You don't think were being controlled from outside the castle?"
All of the officers has been defeated!
Imphyy: "Have we finally beaten them all? Then Ueda Castle should be ours once more."
Azura: "I feel... A rift... Space and time are being manipulated... Something very strange is happening outside the castle... As if this land's present and future is being rewritten..."
Azura has become aware of a warp in space and time! Make your way to the center of the battlefield! Azura, Asta and Imphyy have looking a mysterious presence!
?: "I turn my back for but a moment, and look what happens..."
Imphyy: "That was you? You were controlling those... ghastly soldiers?"
?: "Ghastly? Whatever do you mean? Those shikigami were suppose to keep this land safe in my absence..."
Asta: "Shikigami...? Y-You're not... Seimei Abe?!"
Shikigami Wielder
Seimei Abe
Seimei: "How unfortunate. I had hoped to escape the strictures of my fame by crossing the boundaries of time... But it seems I have failed."
Azura: "Crossing the boundaries of time...?"
Seimei: "Yes. Just a little temporal stroll, as it were."
Seimei Abe has appeared!
Asta: "The famous Seimei Abe... So where were you just now, and what were you doing?"
Seimei: "I was trying to build a bridge back to my own world. I was reading the temporal nodes of the land."
Talen: "Lord Yuan Shao, over here! You must lead us to victory over this rabble!"
Yuan Shao: "Yes. The peaceful cohabitation of demons and humans is our goal. To that end, we must reclaim Ueda Castle!"
The Zinyak Army main forces have arrived! Defeat Yuan Shao!
Seimei: "So this land rightfully belonged to you. By the way of apology, allow me to help you defend it now. Come, my shikigami. One more effort is required."
Seimei Abe has summon the Shikigami's!
Imphyy: "Incredible... He is no ordinary mortal."
Ayumu: "Looks like we've found ourselves a useful ally. Now we should be able to keep the castle safe."
Zinyak Soldier: "Our earlier absence condemned our army to defeat. Forgive us. This time, things will be different. We will be Lord Yuan Shao's blade, and slice through the enemy!"
Yuan Shao: "Thank you. You must strive for the sake of the land we will build together!"
Zinyak Army assault unit are moving toward the Coalition Army!
Seimei: "I see there are some humans here who fight alongside demons. Such behavior would not be understood in my old world."
Imphyy: "It appears you are a man of renown. I am ashamed that I did not know your name."
Seimei: "Actually, I wish all of you didn't. Anonymity would be such a blessing..."
Asta: "A Black Clover must not falter in the face of adversity!"
Taigong: "You are quite the sorcerer. There are very few who could match you, even in the Mystic Realm."
Seimei: "Is that so? I sense a truly powerful aura from you, however."
Taigong: "The very fact that you can read my aura indicates just how mighty you are."
Imphyy: "Building a bridge back to your own world. Is such a thing really possible?"
Seimei: "If you follow the temporal nodes, it should be... But this is a strange land, and I am fnding it difficult."
Imphyy: "...I see."
Zinyak Soldier: "Ugh... My lord... Forgive me..."
The Zinyak Army assault unit has been defeated! Coalition Army, morale increased!
Yuan Shao: "I claim this castle in the name of my noble ancestry! Here, I will build a land in which humans and demons can live together!"
Imphyy: "You never learn. Maybe you need to have the lesson beaten into you."
The Coalition Army is fighting against Yuan Shao!
Yuan Shao: "You...! The nobility know not of defeat! And certainly not for a second time!"
Yuan Shao is rallying!
Yuan Shao: "Th-This is not defeat! This is a strategic withdrawal – no, a change of plans! Yes! That's what it is!"
Yuan Shao has been defeated!
Imphyy: "Our task is complete. But we must ensure that the castle is not lost again."
Seimei: "Then you should use my shikigami as guards. Please, accept them by way of apology."
The Coalition Army has claimed a victory...
Seimei: "I must apologize for the havoc wrought by my shikigami. But this is indeed an interesting world."
Imphyy: "For us, it is a hell we must live through. If you are in search of amusment, I suggest you look elsewhere."
Seimei: "I apologized. I was just talking a stroll through time when I found myself here."
Asta: "A stroll... through time?"
Seimei: "Well, that's the simplest way to explain what I do. But now, it seems, I cannot find my way back to my own time. And so, it appears I must remain here for a while. If I can be of aid, I am happy to lend you my strength."
