The incarnate of hatred
"Oh god….." Vanessa said in a weak tone of voice as she and the others stared at Fana/Salamander hybrid and paled at the amount of Mana being produced just as Fana raised into the air slightly.
"Demonic Fire Magic: Salamander's Wraith!" Fana spoke as she raised an armored clad arm and everyone watched as a sphere of flames started to ignite in her hand.
However, that wasn't the only thing that happened as the flames that have been consuming the Witch's Forest started to converge onto Fana.
"W-what?!" Joyeues exclaimed as her eyes widening, becoming shock at the Fana/Salamander Hybrid's range.
The converging flames started to get absorb into the sphere of flames, making it glow brighter.
"Die." Fana spoke before before throwing the sphere of flames downwards towards the Magic Knights.
"G-guys! We better move!" Saber shouted, before he and the other Magic Knights flew to the sides, letting the attack fly past them.
Everyone watched as the sphere of flames flew through the air before crashing onto the ground some distance away from the Witch's Forest, causing a large explosion to occur.
Once the huge amount of dust and smoke disappeared, everyone saw the amount of damage the attack caused, the land cracked and burned.
"S-seriously? So much damaged just from one attack….." Espada muttered in a weak tone of voice.
"What should we do?" Joyeues asked, gathering whatever courage she has.
"We need to take this battle as far away from the Witch's Forest as possible." Vanessa responded, gripping her broomstick tightly.
This caused everyone to nod their heads, not bothering to argue.
Fana watched as the Magic Knights started to fly in the opposite direction.
"You cannot escape my wraith." Fana spoke before started to follow the Magic Knights.
"Where are you four are heading?" A voice asked, causing the Magic Knights to turn their heads in the direction of the voice to see Laevateinn and Storm Eagle.
"We're drawing Fana as far away from the Witch's Forest as possible. The battle will burn the entire forest to the ground, along with killing every witch that live here." Vanessa responded, causing Laevateinn to frown underneath his helmet before glancing over his shoulder at the approaching Fana/Salamander Hybrid.
"I understand." The swordsman of crystals said whilst he's becoming worried about Fana's safety.
After a few minutes of flying, making as much distance as possible whilst avoiding Fana's attacks, the group of Magic Knights and Shining General landed on the ground, roughly in the same area that Fana's first attack hit.
"Right! This looks like a good spot to fight." Vanessa said as she and the other land on the ground, with Legend Of Leviathan and Storm Eagle disappearing.
"How exactly are we going to fight Fana?" Laevateinn asked the most important question in his head at the moment.
This caused the Magic Knights to glanced at each other, avoiding the obvious answer in front of the swordsman of crystals.
"If we manage to destroy the Alter-Ride book that Fana used to gain that armor, then maybe that will dispel the malice that has taken control of her." Espada suggested with a deep frown on her face underneath her helmet.
"Do you think that may work?" Laevateinn asked in a slightly hopeful tone of voice.
"To be honest, I don't know if this can work. The Sword Of Logos have never faced something like this before, so I can't guarantee that it may work." The swords-woman of lighting explained, causing a frown to appear on Laevateinn's before nodding slightly.
It was at that moment that the temperature suddenly increased and everyone immediately dived out of the way.
A few seconds later a fireball landed on the spot that the group of Magic Knights and Shining General were previously.
"Finish running away?" Fana asked as she landed on the group.
"Yep! I hope you're ready to lose." Saber responded in a confident tone of voice.
However, Espada notice the swordsman of flame's hand that is holding Rekka shaking slightly.
"….." The Fana/Salamander hybrid didn't say anything as she observe the Magic Knights before her eyes landed on the Shining General and frowned slightly.
This was because the swordsman of crystals was responsibly for her temporary "retreat".
However, this time the Fana/Salamander hybrid felt nothing this time.
"Here we come!" Saber exclaimed before suddenly dashing towards Fana, being followed by Laevateinn, mainly because to prevent the swordsman of flames, plus the other Magic Knights, from going to far with their attacks.
"Demonic Crystal Magic: Laevateinn." Fana announced before creating two crystal made swords that a black in colour and covered in a dark red hue colour.
As soon as Saber reaches the Fana/Salamander hybrid, he swing Rekka in a horizontal slash.
In response, Fana raised one of her swords to block the attack before suddenly spinning around, planning on knocking Saber of his feet through her tail.
Luckily, the swordsman of flames managed to jump backwards to avoid the tail attack, before getting replaced by Laevateinn.
"I'm sorry, Fana." Laevateinn thought before swing Seiers Kristall, the "blade" spinning.
When the Fana/Salamander hybrid raised her swords in an X position to block the attack, sparks started to fly.
Fana sensed a presence behind her and she glanced over her shoulder slightly to see Saber with Rekka raised.
The Fana/Salamander moved out of the way and Saber had to hop slightly to stop himself from crashing into Laevateinn.
Fana suddenly charged towards the two swordsmen, causing them to go on the defensive.
"Did that armor give her boost in her sword skills?" Saber wondered as he and Laevateinn couldn't do anything against the assault of sword swings.
"Demonic Fire Magic: Flame Arcs." Fana announced just as her sword sword burst into flames and with her next two swords swings, released two arcs of fire which caused Saber and Laevateinn to be sent skidding backwards.
"Perish. Demonic Fire Magic: Salamander's Wr/Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Surging Wave!" The Fana/Salamander hybrid began to say but was cut off as a wall of water started to make it's way towards her.
Fana glanced towards the water before jumping over the wall of water with the aid of her wings.
However, when the Fana/Salamander hybrid began to land on the ground, she saw Joyeues dashing towards her, noticing how her left side is different.
"Honestly! Boys these days sure like to rush into things." The swords-woman of steel thought as she closed onto Fana, Argent-Couronne at the ready.
The Fana/Salamander hybrid hopped back to avoid the thrust from the sword of steel before countering with her own attack.
luckily, Joyeues managed to dodge the attack with the power of the "Swan Lake" Wonder-Ride book.
However, Joyeues flinched slightly as Fana's sword just scraped against her armor.
Following the missed attack, Fana raised both of her swords and bringing them both down.
Whilst Joyeues managed to raise Argent-Couronne in a horizontal position, the impact of the attack caused the swords-woman of steel to fall onto one of her knees.
"Ghe…" Joyeues grunted slightly under the weight that the Fana/Salamander hybrid is putting her under.
However, it was at that moment that some of Vanessa's threads wrapped around Joyeues's waist before pulling her backwards, making Fana stumble.
With the Fana/Salamander hybrid distracted, Espada, clad in her Volume 2 form, came rushing forwards with her legs covered in lighting and attempt to aim a kick towards Fana's helmet.
However, the Fana/Salamander hybrid quickly closed her wings in front of her, letting Espada's kick hit them instead.
"Tch." The swords-woman of lighting clicked her tongue in annoyance before jumping off Fana's wings before the member of the "Third Eye" can open them and send her flying.
"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Spikes!" Joyeues shouted as she charge back towards Fana.
The Fana/Salamander hybrid grunted slightly as the water-made spikes hit her.
"Nice one!" Vanessa exclaimed whilst giving the swords-woman of steel a thumbs up just as Fana growled slightly at the fact she let herself wide open for the attack.
"Lighting Creation Magic: Lighting Genie's Lamp Buster." Espada announced as she created the lamp-like weapon.
Realizing that there are some droplets remaining on her armor, Fana attempted to move.
However, some of Vanessa's threads wrapped around her waist.
"You're not going anywhere!" The Black Bull's string Mage said with a smirk on her face, making sure to create a large number of strings so she can still have a good hold on the Fana/Salamander hybrid despite the heat burning the strings.
Espada pressed the trigger on her magic-created weapon, sending out a bolt of lighting towards the member of the "Third Eye".
Fana grunted as she got hit by the lighting, but showed no sign of receiving any sort of damage.
This caused a frown to appear underneath Espada's helmet.
With Fana, she glanced towards the thread before following it back towards Vanessa.
"….I should dispose of you first." Fana stated before launching herself straight towards Vanessa, fire clad wings spread out.
This cause a shock expression to appear on the Black Bull's thread Mage as she saw one of Fana's crystal-made swords swinging towards her neck.
However, Laevateinn appeared in front Fana and blocked her attack with Seieres Kristall just as Saber blurred past, grabbing Vanessa.
"You okay?" Saber asked as he placed Vanessa back onto the ground some distance away.
"Yes. I was just caught off guard." Vanessa responded as she took a deep breath to calm herself.
"Good. Just keep a close attention to the opponent's movements." Saber pointed out as he began to return to the battle.
"Don't tell me what to do. I'm older than you." Vanessa said in a mock angry tone of voice.
"Harhar." Saber responded before using his wings to speed forwards.
With Laevateinn, as he held his ground against Fana's sword, the swordsman of crystals glanced down at the "Demonic Beast" Alter-Ride book at Fana's waist.
"What happens if I remove that? Espada said that book is the cause of the increased Demonic Mana, so if I remove then…." Laevateinn thought as he slowly removed one of his hands from the handle of Seiers Kristall and moved it towards the Alter-Ride book.
However, before Laevateinn can touch the "Demonic Beast" Alter-Ride book, Fana jumped back.
"Demonic Fire Magic: Salamander's Tail Whip." Fana announced before twisting her body, aiming an attack with a flame-clad tail.
"Gah! Laevateinn grunted as the attack successfully hit him, sending him crashing onto the blacked earth.
As the Fana/Salamander hybrid prepare to strike the swordsman of crystal with her black crystal-made swords, Ikazuchi and Argent-Couronne got in the way.
Both the swords-woman of lighting and the swords-woman of steel each blocked an a crystal-made sword before activating their magic.
This caused Fana to wide her eyes and she couldn't dodge the combined attack due to how close the three of them are, causing smoke to appear from the point of impact on the Fana/Salanader Hybrid.
"Surely that must have done some damage." Joyeues thought as she and Espada moved back.
"You okay?" Espada asked, glancing over shoulder down at Laevateinn.
"Yes. I'm fine." The swordsman of crystals responded as he slowly got up.
"Were you attempting to grab that Alter-Ride book?" Espada asked, noticing Laevateinn's previously action.
"I did…..I thought it would do something." Laevateinn responded as he clenched his fists slightly.
With the Fana/Salamander hybrid, she felt relieved that the armor protected her from the combined attack.
Opening her wings, Fana launched herself at the Holy Sword wielders, bursting through the smoke.
"Look out! She's coming!" Joyeues exclaimed as she got into a battle stance, along with the other two.
However, when the Fana/Salamander hybrid came close to them, Saber suddenly came flying over the three Holy Sword wielders with Rekka at the ready.
The sudden appearance of the swordsman of flames caused Fana's eyes to widen before abruptly stopping and crossed her swords to block Rekka.
taking the opportunity, Espada rushed forwards with a lighting covered Ikazucki at the ready.
With the aid of her wings, Fana managed to glide to the side to avoid Espada's attack.
This caused the swords-woman of lighting to become frustrated but decided to help Saber regain his balance.
"Demonic Fire Magic: Flame Arcs." Fana said before launching arcs of fire from her crystal-made swords.
Before the Holy Sword wielders can do anything, pieces of thread wrapped around them and pulled them out of the way.
This caused Fana to look over in the direction of the string and glare at Vanessa.
"Yeah, yeah. Keep glaring at me. I'm use to it." Vanessa thought, noticing Fana's glare.
"Why the lot of you just die already! Demonic Crystal Magic: Harpies!" Fana shouted before before created small spinning blades made out black coloured crystals and then sent them flying towards the group of Magic Knights and Shining General.
The group became alarmed at the speed that the attack is coming towards them.
"Crystal Creation Magic: Crystal Jormungandr shield!" Laevateinn shouted as his Grimoire opened before creating a circular-shaped shield with the design of a serpent-like creature.
Even though the group of Magic Knights and Shining General became relieved that the crystal-made shield remained standing, they became alarmed as multiple cracks appeared with each "thunk" of a dagger.
The shield finally broke when the Fana/Salamander hybrid herself attacked the weakened shield with one of her swords.
"Is Fana finally becoming serious?" The group of Magic Knights and Shining General thought in a dreading tone of voice.
"Now…..the beginning of your end." Fana spoke whilst a dark fiery aura started to surround her just as her Grimoire opened.
"Demonic Fire + Crystal Magic: Crystal Salamander's Fangs!" Fana said as she create spears that are made from a mixture of fire and crystals.
Everyone became tense as they eyed the many spears of fire and crystals and with a flick of Fana's wrist, the spears suddenly shot towards the ground.
When the fire and crystal made spears impacted on the ground, then sent out an explosive-like bar in all directions, something that the Magic Knights and Shining Generals couldn't defend themselves against.
As the group of Magic Knights and Shining General attempted to recover from the attack, Fana suddenly swooped in and swing her crystal-made swords, striking everyone.
Before long, everyone are on their knees or on the verge of collapsing.
"Now, the finishing move." Fana, who is hovering in the air, spoke before closing the "Demonic Beast" Alter-Ride book.
Demonic charging…
The Alter-Ride book announced as Demonic Mana started to gather around Fana.
"Guys! We seriously need to destroy that Alter-Ride book!" Saber exclaimed, remembering what happened with Vetto, even though his finisher attack was interrupted by Yami.
"You want to destroy my Alter-Ride book? Good luck with that. Demonic Crystal Magic: Chain bindings." Fana spoke, causing crystal-made chains to suddenly wrap around everyone.
Seeing that there is no more interruptions, Fana pressed the button on the belt buckle, causing the Alter-Ride book to open once again.
Demonic Beast! Hatred's Burst!
The Alter-Ride book announced, causing Demonic Mana and flames to pour out of Fana before taking the form of a large crystal-made sword which is black in colour with fire-like designs.
The guard takes the form of a dragon's head.
Everyone stared at the sword with wide eyes.
"Now accept your fate and die, humans." Fana spoke before swinging one of her arms, causing the giant sword to follow her movements, heading straight towards the trapped Magic Knights and Shining General.
"Is this really it? There's no way we can survive this attack." Vanessa thought with fear in her eyes.
However, it was at that moment that the Black Bull's thread Mage's Grimoire started to glow.
And there we go, the Kamen Rider and Black Bull Magic Knight having a difficult time fighting against Fana before the Fana/Salamander unleashed her finishing move.
So in Revice, Hirome somehow managed to survive his potential final fight as Demons. Aguilera also temporary teamed up with Revi and Vice to fight against Olteca, managing to gain the Giff Vistamp along with reverting Olteca to his human-self, whose originally name was Makato Hatsushiba. So Revice's super form has been revealed, Jack Revice. So this time, Vice becomes the host whilst Ikki becomes a spirit(?), which explains Jack Revice's colour scheme.
Also, some rumors have surfaced about Revice which involves:
1) Hirome's soul will be trapped within the Demons Driver.
2) Olteca will take the Demons Driver and transform into Demons Superior.
3) Sakura will join a organization in order to learn more about Fenix.
4) Vice used the Rolling Vistamp to fuse with Ikki when Ikki's life is endangered due to the usage of the Volcano Vistamp, but the Jack Revice form will cause them to fall into darkness.
From watching next episode's trailer, rumors 2 and 3 looked to be reasonably correct, not sure about Oltera gaining a upgrade form when using the Demons Driver, rumor 1 could potentially happen and rumor 4...well, considering the information we have been told Vice will certainly cause trouble.
So in Black Clover, a bit disappointing that the chapter wasn't entirely focusing on the battle between Yuno and Lucifero, although it was interesting that Yuno is teaming up with Mereleone. So apart from learning about Sekke's part, Mimosa's healing magic somehow stopped working on Asta, she commenting that the spell broke. I'm surprised that Sekke knows that Yuno is the prince of the Spade Kingdom, I'd expected that the captains and Wizard King would have keep that information quiet. But the biggest part of the chapter is Asta standing up and marching back into the battle, completely ignoring his deep injuries. I'm starting to become worried for Asta since Julius predicted that Asta may die, so considering the conditioning he's in, that prediction will 99% happen...
I've watched another theory video which talks about the the contract between Asta and Liebe. The contract between them is a equal one, meaning that both of them need to focus in order for the Devil Union to work. However, it's basically the same as a normal contract, the power going to the human. The video talks about the possibility of Liebe gaining control over the Devil Union form. Whilst Asta uses anti-magic through his swords, Liebe will use anti-magic in a different manner. Revice is pretty much going with this idea with their Jack Genome.
Please review and until next time.
Dragon Rider 66:
1) Yeah, the Kamen Riders and Black Bull is having a difficult time fighting against Fana who is using both a Alter-Rider book and Spirit Dive. Asta and Mars doing a Revice-styled kick to rescue Fana? That may happen.
2) That makes sense for the Heart Queens to use Uldine's powers for defense/support rather than for attacking.
3) That would be interesting, Asta using Lucifero's cut-off horn to create a new sword.
4) Don't get too excited, it will be a while until I'll officially write a Dr Strange X Black Clover story. However, I have a few ideas written down, but I wait for the upcoming Dr Strange film to have some official MCU information to use if needed.
5) I guess we just have to wait and see the director's future actions.
6) That's an interesting concept for Joyeues's mermaid form.
7) Asta having another sibling? That will cause different reactions:
-Asta will be shock at the fact of having a blood-sibling.
-Liebe will be slightly unsure about having another foster sibling.
-Everyone else...dreading the fact that there is a "second" Asta.
8) If the others found about that scenario, Asta will likely gain stern lecture from Charlotte.
9) Considering the rumors...things won't look good for Hirome.
Raidentensho: Thanks for a possible idea with the Alter-Ride book transforming to a Wonder-Ride book.
