Wake up! The sword transforms into a mighty swordsman
"VICE-CAPTAIN!" Saber shouted, causing everyone to stop and looked in the direction of the shout.
All of the Magic Knight's eyes widened when they saw the stone-formed swordsman of the earth before becoming confuse.
"What!? Why is Medusa Jaden over there? Blades and Kenzan should still be-?" Joyeues began to say but stop when she glance towards the Blades and Kenzan pairing and saw Medusa Jaden(2).
"Heh. You should study more, swords-woman." Legeiel commented, causing a tick-mark to appear on the swords-woman of steel's forehead.
"Of course. In the tales of Medusa, there are three sisters." Espada said with a frown underneath her helmet.
"Wow. Are all members of the Sword Of Logos low in intelligence?" Legeiel questioned, causing a tick-mark to appear on Espada's forehead this time.
"Huh? Wha?" Kenzan said as she glance between Medusa Jaden(2) and Medusa Jaden(3).
"Kekekekeke. Finally my sister is making her move." Medusa Jaden(2) said with a "smirk" on her face.
"I see. There are three sisters, and we defeated one of them earlier." Blades commented as he kept his eyes on Medusa Jaden(2), without looking into her own eyes.
"I so going to enjoy killing you and avenging my falling sibling." Medusa Jaden said in an evil tone of voice.
"Yep. I definitely made them angry." The swordsman of water thought, becoming tense.
"Kekekekeke. So the strongest Magic Knight in the group decided to protect the weakling. How pathetic." Medusa Jaden(3) said with a sneer on on her face as she remove her appendages off Ryo, whose transformation was cancelled when he was turned into stone.
"Why you!" Saber shouted as he maneuvered around Ryo and attempted to strike Medusa Jaden(3) with his two swords.
"Where are you aiming? Are you blinded by that much rage that you can't even swing your swords properly?" Medusa Jaden(3) questioned in a mocking manner as she easily dodge Saber's sword swings.
"Shut up." Saber responded in a low tone of voice before swinging King Excalibur.
With Calibur, the swordsman of darkness stared at Ryo for a few seconds before turning his attention back onto the swordsman of flames.
"No you don't!" A voice shouted, causing Calibur to take a few steps back just as Joyeues appeared in front of him.
"Coming to face me again?" Calibur questioned as he stare at the swords-woman of steel.
"Of course. I can't let Saber fight everyone….." Joyeues responded before starting to become nervous, something that Calibur notice.
"Are you starting to remember what happened between Kurayami and Argent-Couronne back at the world's chasm?" Calibur questioned as he point with the sword of shadows.
"O-of course. Don't insult the memory of a royal!" Joyeues responded, attempting to sound confident.
"Well then. This going to be an awkward fight then." Calibur commented before lunging towards Joyeues.
The swords-woman of steel hopped back to avoid the vertical slash before delivering a thrust towards the swordsman of darkness.
Calibur allowed the attack to hit the gold blade of Kurayami before immediately pushing the silver blade of Argent-Couronne away.
"Is he hesitate on letting our swords hit each other?" Joyeues wondered, remembering what the swordsman of darkness said.
It was then that the swords-woman of steel's eyes fell on the stone-form of Ryo.
"I should probably get this battle away from Vice-Captain Ryo. I don't think it will look good if he comes back with a limb cut of or….." Joyeues thought before shivering slightly.
"What is she planning?" Calibur thought just as Joyeue's Grimoire opened.
"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Raging Wave!" Joyeues announced, causing a giant wave to appear.
Whilst Calibur did managed to absorb some of the attack with Kurayami, he was still knocked off his feet and sent flying backwards.
Calibur spluttered slightly as he stagger back onto his feet, water trickling off his armor.
"Now I can attack without holding back." Joyeues said as she dash towards Calibur.
"Did she….used the attack to move the battle away from Ryo?" The swordsman of darkness thought, noting the distance between them and the statue of Ryo.
"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Spikes!" Joyeues called, creating water-made spikes which are sent flying straight towards Calibur.
"Why is she attacking me with magic-based attacks? I can simply absorb them." Calibur thought as he raise Kurayami in order for the sword of darkness to absorb the attack.
However, instead of hitting the blade of Kurayami, the water-made spikes completely miss the swordsman of darkness, striking the ground around him instead.
At the same time, Joyeues ran forward, closing the gap between her and Calibur.
The swordsman of darkness just managed to block the swords-woman of steel's attack as he got out of his confusion.
"Tch. She was simply used the attack to distract me in order to get closer." Calibur thought as he stepped to the side in order to avoid a thrust attack from Argent-Couronne.
"Time to change the flow of this battle." Joyeues thought as she jump back, avoiding a horizontal sword swing from Kurayami before removing "Swift Dolphin" and replacing it with "Swan-Lake".
"Hm? What sort of power does that Wonder-Ride book possess?" Calibur thought as he glanced at the altered left side of Joyeues's armor.
"Here I come!" The swords-woman of steel exclaimed before dashing towards Calibur, making his eyes widened at the increase of speed that Joyeues has gained.
Back with the battle between Saber and Medusa Jaden(3), the swordsman of flames is getting frustrated with the taunting that Medusa Jaden(3) is throwing at him.
"Kekekekekeke. I heard that the "King Of Arthur" Wonder-Ride book grant you new powers. But it seems that you're just a boy swinging a hunk of metal, worthless of wielding that power." Medusa Jaden(3) said in a mocking manner as she swing one of her own swords at the swordsman of flames.
"Will you shut up!" Saber shouted as he blocked the attack with Rekka.
"Hmmm. How about no." Medusa Jaden(3) responded simply before jumping back and then attacking with one on her appendages which is wrapped around one of her swords.
"Gah!" Saber exclaimed as the sword hit him, unable to block the attack.
Medusa Jaden(3) then launched her snake-like hair as Saber attempted to recover from the whip-like attack.
The result is the swordsman of flames getting bitten multiple times before getting thrown onto the ground.
"Owch." Saber grunted as he lay on the ground.
"I think that the only course of action for you now is to hand over "King Of Arthur" and then allow me to turn you into stone." Medusa Jaden(3) explained calmly as she stare down at the swordsman of flames.
"What is wrong with me?! I'm supposed to be better than this!" Saber exclaimed in his head as he slowly got up off the ground.
"King Excalibur. What am I lacking that's not allowing me to use your full power?" Saber thought as he glance at the blue sword.
"Why are you not doing anything? Your course of action is pretty clear." Medusa Jaden(3) said before glancing over to the statue of the vice-captain of the Sword Of Logos.
"I know. I think this will make you decision making muck quicker." Medusa Jaden(3) thought before sending her snake-like hair flying towards Ryo.
Saber's eye widened as he realized what Medusa Jaden(3) is planning.
"No!" The swordsman of flames shouted as he scrambled onto his feet and began to sprint after the snake-like hair.
"Kekekekeke. Too slow, swordsman." Medusa Jaden(3) commented in an evil tone of voice.
"I'm too late!" Saber thought in horror as he watch the snake-like hair closing onto the statue of Ryo.
However, it was at that moment that the "King Of Arthur" Wonder-Ride book started to glow.
"Huh?!" Saber exclaimed in a shock tone of voice as he look down at the Wonder-Ride book just as a larger version of King Excalibur materialize next to the swordsman of flames.
"W-what is that thing?!" Medusa Jaden(3) shouted, becoming shock at what just happened.
"Is this…." Saber thought, slowing starting to realize what is happening.
Without hesitation, Saber swing King Excalibur, making the larger version copied it's movements and cut Medusa Jaden(3)'s snake-like hair.
"H-how are you!" Medusa Jaden(3) exclaimed as she took a few steps back.
"Can you call this a hunk of metal now?" Saber asked as he turned his attention towards Medusa Jaden(3).
"Grrrr. Don't get cocky, swordsman." Medusa Jaden(3) growled in annoyance before shooting her snake-like hair upwards and wrap around rocks that are floating in the air.
"What is she planning?" Saber thought, becoming on guard as Medusa Jaden(3) lifted herself up off the ground.
The swordsman of flames watched as Medusa Jaden(3) started to hurl the rocks at him.
"Whoa!" Saber exclaimed before starting to swing King Excalibur in response.
The swordsman of flames was successful in destroying the rocks, even though he was hit some shards.
"Lets finish this." Saber thought before pressing the trigger 5 times.
Shashing(x5)
Final Page!
King Slash!
King Excalibur announced as blue energy started to cover the larger version of the sword before swinging it, completely destroying Medusa Jaden(3).
"Alright. Saber managed to defeat that Medusa Jaden." Blades said in a relieved tone of voice.
However, the final Medusa Jaden began to shake in anger.
"How dare you kill my sister!" Medusa Jaden(2) said in angry tone of voice before starting to glow in a purple light.
"Now I'm angry!" Medusa Jaden(2) exclaimed as she suddenly began to grow to enormous size.
"Ehhhhh! She can make herself big!" Kenzan exclaimed in a shock tone of voice.
Everyone watched as Medusa Jaden(2) summoned her snake-like hair which grabbed a massive rock and pulled it down.
"This is going to be troublesome." Saber thought just before "King Of Arthur" began to glow and information started to enter Saber's head.
"Yeah. That will do." The swordsman of flames muttered as he took "King Of Arthur" out of the Seiken Sword-Driver and insert it into a slot within King Excalibur which started to glow in a blue light.
King Of Arthur!
King Excalibur announced, causing everyone watched as the giant version of King Excalibur started to transform.
King Excalibur is transformed from a sword! The huge swordsman wakes up!
King of Arthur!
King Excalibur announced as everyone stared at the newly transformed mecha who is hovering in the air by two flames located at it's shoulder-blades.
"What the….." Espada muttered in a stunned tone of voice.
Getting out his own stunned state, Saber turned his attention towards Medusa Jaden(2).
"Don't think that you can win just because your sword transformed." Medusa Jaden(2) stated as she charge towards the blue mecha.
Saber, who has sheathed Rekka within the Seiken Sword-Driver, started to swing King Excalibur, causing the blue mecha to copy his movements.
After a few swings, the blue mecha knocked Medusa Jaden(2) to the side before turning it's attention towards the giant rock that is slowly descending.
"If that falls, then the entire area will be destroyed." Blades stated in a worrying tone of voice.
"Then I'll simply cut it myself." Saber said as he prepared to swing King Excalibur.
However, the swordsman of flames suddenly started to gain a strange feeling as the left piece of the trench coat started to glow.
Sword Change!
The "King Of Arthur" Wonder-Ride book announced just as the left piece of Saber's trench-coat moved, positioning itself so that its pointing upwards from his back.
The swordsman of flames started to float up off the ground before getting grabbed by the blue mecha.
"S-Saber transformed into a sword!?" Joyeues exclaimed with her mouth wide open in shock.
"When I said "myself", this wasn't I meant!" Saber exclaimed in a shock tone of voice just as the blue mecha turned it's attention back to the falling rock.
"Oh well, let get this over with." Saber said just as the blue mecha got into a stance before swinging the sword-formed Saber, releasing a wave of energy that, when striking the falling rock, completely destroyed it.
Without taking a break, the blue mecha turned it's attention towards Medusa Jaden(2) and swing both of it's sword, not allowing her any chance of attacking.
"AAAAAAA!" Medusa Jaden(2) exclaimed in pain before getting engulfed in an explosion.
Legeiel stared at the destruction of his underling before growling in annoyance and disappearing.
With Calibur, the swordsman of darkness stared at the blue mecha and Saber for a few seconds before disappearing himself.
With the statue of Ryo, the stone began to glow and after a few seconds, the vice-captain of the Sword Of Logos has returned to his original form.
The wielder of Gekido blinked his eyes for a few seconds, feeling slightly stunned, before attempting to take a step.
However, Ryo suddenly collapsed onto one knee.
"Vice-Captain?! Are you okay?!" Espada exclaimed in a shock tone of voice as she appeared next to Ryo.
"Hehehehe, I'm fine. Never knew that being a stone statue was so tiring." Ryo responded with a small smile on his face.
This cause Espada to sigh in relief.
It was then that Ryo notice the blue mecha.
"Is Saber's new sword capable of transforming?!" Ryo asked in a shock tone of voice.
"Yep. It completely shocked the rest of us." Espada responded, making Ryo nod his head slightly.
"So Saber managed to unlock the full power of "King Of Arthur" then." Ryo said before glancing around.
"Where is Saber? I don't see him." Ryo asked, starting to become worried.
"Look at the mecha's right sword." The swords-woman of lighting responded simply, causing Ryo to become confuse before looking at the blue mecha's right sword.
"…...Huh?!" Ryo exclaimed in a shock tone of voice as he recognize the shape of the sword.
"Y-you transformed into a sword?" Tetsuo asked in a shock tone of voice.
Right now, the team of Magic Knights have returned to their headquarters and gave their report.
Whilst Sophia and Tetsuo become surprise that unlocking the full power of "King Of Arthur" allows the wielder to transform King Excalibur into a giant mecha, they became shock when they leaned that Saber himself transformed into a secondary sword for the mecha to wield.
"How do you feel?" Sophia asked Asta, starting to become worried.
"It…..felt strange. Especially when the mecha swing me about." Asta responded whilst scratching the back of his head.
"As long as you're feeling yourself, that's okay." Sophia said with a small smile on her face.
"You know…..I just have a thought that if our swords have a personality, how would they feel about getting swinged about." Rintaro said in a thoughtful tone of voice as he stare down at Nagare.
The question caused the room to become silent as everyone started to think.
"Mr Daishinji. What are your thoughts?" Noelle asked as she, and everyone else, stare at the Mechanic of the Sword Of Logos since he's capable of "hearing" the "voices" of the swords.
"…..They seemed okay with getting used as a sword….as long you don't go overboard." Tetsuo responded whilst avoiding eye-contact from everyone.
"Not very convincing." Everyone thought whilst sweat-dropping.
"Anyway! We now gained a useful power in our fight against the Megid." Ryo said as he clapped his hands together, causing everyone to cheer.
However, a small frown started to appear on Tetsuo's face.
"Is it possible that I can use one of the new Wonder-Ride books that Asta gained from Avalon to complete my project." Tetsuo thought, starting to become slightly excited.
And there we go, Asta's managed to to master the power of the "King Of Arthur" Wonder-Ride book, allowing him to transform King Excalibur into it's mecha form...who in turn transforms Saber into his own sword form. So Tetsuo seemed to have a idea about finishing his project.
So I have been watching video which talks about Lucius and found some information on him. The name "Lucius" means "light" in Latin. I don't know the relationship that Lucius has with light within the manga, apart from that Julius, his secondary persona, was "killed" my Patry, a light magic user, but it is stated that those who have been born during the time of dawn are usually giving the name of "Lucius". With the sun-like symbol on Lucius's forehead, it is known "crown of sunburst" or "victory of death", which can be described as life everlasting. However, it could be a double-meaning within the manga since Lucius is working with Adrammlech, the symbol being the sign of their contract, leading to the possibility that Adrammlech's magic is sun magic. With the overlapping spades on Lucius's/Julius's Grimoire, the upright position means death whilst the downward position means rebirth, renewal, resurrection and regeneration.
During Zenon's backstory, Lucius talked to him about wanting to recreate humanity with undying bodies using their magic and the powers of Devils. At first, many people would have speculated that Lucius only said those things so that he can easily persuade Zenon into becoming a Devil host, since the younger sibling has the desire of protecting the Spade Kingdom, but with these facts, there is a high chance Lucius's ultimate goal is actually to recreate humanity, possibly by transforming them into human/Devil hybrids. This plan would likely involve collecting the three hearts of the three ruling Supreme Devils and the magic of his younger sibling's magic. Although I don't see how this plan can be realized since Lucius has been controlling time during the Spade Kingdom invasion, if that theory is in fact true, creating a favorable outcome for the Clover Kingdom, not the Dark Triad. So without the three of the four human biology, if Lucius's primary magic does involve the mind/soul, how can Lucius realize his plan and why did he even made sure that the Clover Kingdom came out victorious with the deaths of his younger siblings?
Another fact to point out is Astaroth is involved with necromantic rituals, linking to Lucius's possibly plan of recreating humanity.
I have another idea which links to my theory from the previous chapter. What if when the Clover gang manage to kill Lucius, the stolen time magic attempted to merge back into Asta and Liebe. However, for some reason, such as the anti-magic or lack of Mana, the time magic can't reenter Asta and Liebe so decided to merge with a sword, one that Asta or Liebe picked up during or before the final battle, creating the fifth sword that represent the Devil of the five-leaf clover, allowing Asta and Liebe to wield time magic. Whilst this may seem to make the two OP, there is a possibility that the Asta and Liebe will need to be in their Devil Union form to wield it, since the time magic was originally wielded by Astaroth. A possible name for the fifth sword would be "Demon King Sword", fitting since the sword possess the magic that belongs to one of the 3 ruling Devils.
I have a second theory, but it links to my first theory, from what is shown, it is very likely that Lucius's ultimate plan will include collecting all three ruling Devil hearts. It is pretty obvious that Lucius already has Astaroth's heart and he now has Lucifero's heart in his possession, the only one he needs now is Beelzebub's heart. In conjunction with my first theory, when Asta and his friends manage to kill Lucius, Astaroth's heart will likely seek out Asta and Liebe, causing the two of them to permanently fuse together, since they are the reincarnations/split souls of Astaroth. For some reason, Astaroth's heart won't get destroyed by the anti-magic, probably because it somehow adapted to the anti-magic.
In Revice, Vice entered Sakura's mind to find out what's wrong with Lovekov...leading him to discover Lovekov's room where she seen listing to music, possibly a reference to snake charmers, before getting kicked out. Sakura was then asked by Julio to help Aguilera which leads to the both of them spending some time at a amusement park. The two then had one final battle where Jeanne gained a new weapon in the form of a scythe though the "Hashibiroku" Vistamp with Jeanne managing to separate Aguilera from her Demon contract who then decided to join Weekend under her real name, Hana Natsuki. Meanwhile, Ikki and Vice fought Vail using their multiple Genomes, but Vail managed to stay on par with them through the powers of the Vistamps that Hideo stamped onto him before getting overwhelmed by the Thunder-gale Genome. At Fenix, Daiji confront Hideo but got easily defeated by the director who demonstrated the powers that he was given by Giff.
So we got scans of a new Rider form, Kamen Rider Over Demons which the person used the Demons Driver and the "Stag-beetle" Vistamp to transform into. To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed that it's just Vail's torso and a repainted helmet on top of Demons's armor.
Please review and until next time.
Dragon Rider 66:
1) I think that the only people who are not members of the Sword Of Logos that Sophia can trust with helping Asta master "King Of Arthur" would be Yami and Dorothy, since she was the one who taught Noelle in the ways of the sword. With Noelle, it's probably a bad idea to follow a suggestion from the enemy...even though it's on a subject that you have little knowledge on.
2) Stoned?! Is Ryo taking drugs?! Well, Charlotte will be mad either way.
3):
A) If Asta and Liebe are reincarnated(?)/split souls of Astaroth, then it would match the theme of the community-claimed "Light Traid" because Yuno is a prince and Noelle is royalty, it's never stated if she and the members of the houses of Silva and Vermillion have the titles of "princes" and "princesses", so Asta and Liebe will have the shared title of "ruler".
B) Out of everyone, Asta, Yuno, Yami and William will be the most devastated when they learn the connection between Julius and Lucius since the first two looked up to Julius because of their goal of becoming the Wizard King whilst Yami and William received acceptance from Julius when others rejected them.
C) Since the release of chapter 331, a theory called the "Clock Theory" has been created which talks about the possibility Lucius controlling the flow of time at different points during the invasion. Some examples include:
Chapter 274
Event: Invasion start
Time: 6:36
Chapter 279
Event: First gate of the underworld opening
Time: 6:36
Chapter 280
Event: Demon appearing within the Clover Kingdom
Time: 6:36
Chapter 284
Event: Noelle and the others joined the battle.
Time: 6:45
Chapter 289
Event: Asta fighting the fused twin Devils.
Time: return to 6:36
Chapter 321
Event: Yuno joining the battle against Lucifero.
Time: 7:28
Chapter 322
Event: Nacht and Yami joining the battle against Lucifero.
Time: 7:28
Chapter 331 ( the chapter being called "And the time starts to move")
Event: Lucius's appearance.
Time: 7:29
These are just examples, but there are practically multiple times where people die and Lucius turning back time so the best outcome can playout, all in order to gain Lucifero's heart. So this theory explains some plot points such as Asta getting his leg shattered by Lucifero, but then easily moving about the place when he and Liebe transformed into their five-horn Devil Union form, along with the recharging time during the first and second fight, according to the times on the clock. Before this theory was created, many people were complaining about how brutal the invasion was, especially the battle against Lucifero, yet nobody died, even though Mimosa's healing magic has increased immensely. If this theory is proven true by Lucius, not by breaking the forth wall, then it goes to show how powerful the final villain of the series is, being able to control the flow of time itself.
4) Well, things certainly looks bad with Daiji and Akemi with Hideo overpowering them along with granting Vail powers of multiple Vistamps. It's good that Sakura and Aguilera/Hana managed to solve their differences.
5) Haha. It looks like Yuri can be easily influenced by what he read. I'm still laughing about a bird wearing ninja clothes.
6) Indeed, even though it has been theorized that "Julius" being a Zogradis for ages.
7) It would have been symbolic if Jeanne used the "Queen Bee" Vistamp instead. I guess we just have to wait for the uses of the "triceratops" and "Buffalo" Vistamps, they could a possibility that they may appear in the upcoming movie or special video.
8) I understand, the trails being for the original Riders before the new Riders later.
9) So it's basically a race against time at this point.
10) Yeah, that's a disappointment, even though it is using the same Vistamp that is used for Vail's transformation.
11) Of course. I think Kahono will wait until the children are sitting down or something.
12) Oh dear...if everyone discovered that Rin is trying to corrupt Mimosa, Donna will likely hold Rin back whilst Noelle guide Mimosa away. That's a good alternative idea with Tetsuo being the one to create the whip/sword...
13) If it's for safety reasons then yes...unless you have other ideas...
Kamen Rider Yokai: Funny enough, I did actually thought of a horse-themed Wonder-Ride book sometime after your previous review and yes, thank you for explaining some more info on Wonder-Synchro.
TheOkWriter: Yeah...the Revice section was mainly a recap of the previous episode and couldn't find anything else to write.
Itspowertime:
1) The Megid are having a hard time, feeling the wraith of Charlotte, first kidnapping her son, along with the other children, and now transforming her husband into stone.
2:
A) I bet that everyone will be confused as to why Asta has the first part to Astaroth's name and then everyone will become shock when it's either revealed that Lucius or Astaroth is Asta's dad. One of them could have used time magic to freeze Richita's curse.
B) I think it will be mostly likely Lucius will be the final villain of the series.
3) You'll find out that answer during the Royal Knight selection exam.
4) I haven't thought about that, but thanks for the possible idea.
Farhan Nugraha:
1) I guess that will be kind of sad on Noelle's part:
Evil panting heavily: Hah...Hah...It looks like you've won...Live
Evil fell onto her knees whilst her armor disappeared, revealing a version Noelle with Devil-like features.
Live rushing towards Leviathan whilst deactivating her armor: Leviathan!
Leviathan becoming confuse: What? you're concerned about my wellbeing? I'm a Devil.
Noelle becoming awkward: Well...yes. But...you've been a source of comfort during my childhood.
Leviathan laughing slightly: You're such a strange Tsundere, Noelle.
Noelle gaining a shock expression on her face: I'm not a Tsundere!
Leviathan began to smirk: Then how do you explain your behavior Asta? Heh, if I'd took over your body, then I would immediately jump on him.
Noelle's face became bright red whilst trying to come up with a response but couldn't say anything clearly.
It was then that Leviathan felt a strange feeling and glanced a hand which seems to be disappearing: Well it looks like time's up for me.
Noelle widened her eyes as she watch Leviathan take something out of her pocket.
Leviathan: Here, take this, you earn this.
Noelle became curious as Leviathan placed a larger version of a Vistamp that is light blue in colour with a image of a white crow on it with one of it's wings sticking out.
Noelle examining the "Holy Wings" Vistamp: This is...
Leviathan before starting to disappear: Gain the wings that you should have possess. Good Luck...Noelle.
Noelle stared at the place where the Devil was and a tear came out from one of her eyes.
2) I can see Zeronos Acier acting like a doting "sister" to Noelle, giving her the affection that she's been denied when she learns the "truth" of the situation around the Silva siblings...Whilst lecturing the other Silva siblings about how to properly treat their youngest sibling.
3) I can see Julius comforting Noelle when she realized that nobody remembers her and possible help her with "introducing" the other Silva siblings to her.
4) Thanks for the suggestion.
5) I'm not sure about fillers just yet, but thanks for the idea.
