Battle against the Megids
"What is that thing." Puli whispered as she, Fragil, Ruben and Kenzan stood on the outer edge of a room, observing a monstrous creature that has a human-like body with a fleshless-skull for a head and antlers. Glowing eyes peering out of it's sockets and the creature is growling slightly.
"Well….I know that it's a Megid, but I don't know what sort of creature it's based of." Kenzan muttered as she notice the book-like emblem on the Megid's chest.
"S-should we turn back and find a different route?" Fragil asked, starting to become frighted.
"Why are you three backing away? There's no other way other than going forwards." Ruben explained, seeing how all three female Royal Knights are standing a few feet behind him and huddled together.
"Against that thing? Absolutely not!" Puli exclaimed whilst keeping her voice as low as possible.
"Why I'm I teamed up with them?" Ruben thought whilst sweat-dropping, already feeling awkward at being the sole male on the team.
It was that moment that antlered-Megid looked up at the four Royal Knights, causing them to freeze.
"Did it hear us?!" The four Royal Knights thought, starting to sweat.
The antlered-Megid began to sniff the air.
"…..Flesh….." The antlered-Megid muttered before starting to growl more aggressively whilst getting into a charging position.
"Here it comes!" Kenzan shouted just as the antlered-Megid lunged towards them.
Fragil and Ruben dived towards the sides of the antlered-Megid and quickly backed further into the room whilst Puli used her magic to fly over the Megid.
However, Kenzan wasn't so lucky as the antlered-Megid swing one of it's claws at the swords-woman of the winds, but when the claw hit Kenzan, she suddenly disappeared, transforming into wisps of winds.
This caused the antlered-Megid to become confused as it looked at the space that Kenzan was.
"Fewh! That was a close one!" A voice suddenly exclaimed, causing the antlered-Megid to turn around and saw Kenzan quickly getting herself up off the ground.
"We went to the sides of the Megid, Puli went over the Megid and you went under the Megid's legs." Ruben said in a disbelief tone of voice yet feeling relieved that everyone managed to not get hit by the antlered-Megid.
"Yep! Thanks to my duplicate spell." Kenzan said with a smirk underneath her helmet.
It was at that moment that the antlered-Megid charged towards the Royal Knights again.
"Wing Magic: Angel Flapping!" Puli announced as she flapped her wings, causing feathers to be sent flying downwards.
The antlered-Megid raised it's arms to block the attacks, but kept on a moving forwards.
"How about this then. Sandstone Magic: Rock Storm!" Ruben shouted before firing a sandstorm straight towards the antlered-Megid.
This time, the antlered-Megid stopped charging and stumbled slightly.
When the sand storm disappeared, the antlered-Megid looked up to see Kenzan with both blades of Hayate at the ready.
"Wind Magic: Wind Ninja's Arial Slash!" Kenzan shouted before swinging her two blades, releasing arcs of wind.
The antlered-Megid raised it's arms again to block the attack.
"Snow Creation Magic: Razor Snowflakes." Frail announced before sending two sharp snowflakes towards the antlered-Megid, stunning it's arms.
"Thanks!" Kenzan said as her attack successfully hit the antlered-Megid, causing it to stumble back and growl in pain.
"If we work together, then we can defeat this creature quickly and move on." Puli said, a smile being present on her face.
However, it was at that moment that the antlered-Megid made some more growling and many Shimis appeared around the four Royal Knights.
"I don't think that won't easy." Fragil commented as she glanced around, eyeing the swords that the Shimis are wielding.
"Yes, yes indeed….." Puli responded, feeling slightly annoyed that her ideal plan is ruined.
"…..Kill….them…." The antlered-Megid commanded, causing the Shimis move forwards with the antlered-Megid joining them, targeting Kenzan.
The swords-woman of the winds raised the twin blades of Hayate and used them to prevent the antlered-Megid's sharp teeth from biting her.
"Erh! What the hell have you eating?!" Kenzan exclaimed as she turned her head to the side in the poor attempt to prevent from smelling the horrible stench that is coming out of the antlered-Megid's mouth.
"…..Fle-!" The antlered-Megid seemingly began to respond but was cut as it was hit by a sand storm, knocking it to the side.
"Kenzan! Are you okay?!" Ruben asked as he glance towards the swords-woman of the winds quickly as she move back.
"No! I just smelt something horrible!" Kenzan responded before shivering in disgust.
"But you are wearing a helmet." Ruben thought with a raised eye-brow.
It was during that time that the antlered-Megid regained it's balance before lunging towards the two Royal Knights, claws at the ready.
"Sandstone Magic: Variable Hardness Prision." Ruben announced as he created a large block of stand stone which then dissolved before reforming around the antlered-Megid, effectively trapping it.
"Nice one!" Kenzan said as she gave the Ruben a thumbs up.
However, the antlered-Megid released a breath of snow from it's mouth.
"Snow?!" Both Kenzan and Ruben thought at the same as they jumped to the sides to avoid the attack….which was joined by the stench.
"Erh! What the hell has that thing been eating?!" Ruben demanded as he covered his mouth.
"See! It smells horrible." Kenzan said as she fought the sensation of throwing up from being exposed to the smell twice.
"But what sort creature is that Megid is attempting to mimic? An antlered creature that is related to snow…..I think it was attempting to say "flesh" earlier…." Kenzan thought with a frown underneath her helmet for a few seconds before her eyes widened slightly.
"I think this Megid is based on a Wendigo." Kenzan said, causing Ruben to glance towards her.
"Are you sure?" Ruben asked as he quickly turned his attention back onto the possible Wendigo-themed Megid.
"Yeah. It's a creature that likes to eat flesh and in some stories lives in snowy mountains." Kenzan explained, making Ruben nod his head slightly.
"If you certain about that, then okay then. But that doesn't help on how to deal with it." Ruben pointed out as it watched as the Wendigo-themed Megid attempts to break itself free.
"Don't worry. We just go with the old fashion way." Kenzan responded as she walked up to the trapped Megid whilst the pages of her Grimoire began to turn.
"Wind Magic: Sylph's Soul Burst!" Kenzan announced before swinging the two blades of Hayate, releasing a huge amount wind, effectively breaking the Wendigo-themed Megid out of it's prison and slamming it against a wall.
"Why did Kenzan break that Megid free?!" Fragil wondered as she glanced over her shoulder.
"Don't worry about that battle, just focus on our fight, dear." Puli responded as she flap her wings, shooting feathers towards the Shimis.
"Right!" Fragil said before commanding her razor-sharp snowflakes to attack the Shimis.
Between the two female Royal Knights, they are making easy work with fighting against the Megid's foot-soldiers, but the Shimis's number is a bit of a problem.
"Maybe I should try this." Fragil thought just as the pages of her Grimoire began to turn.
"Snow Magic: Miniature Garden of Illusory Snow." Fragil announced as she created snow on the floor.
"Hm? Those foot soldiers are moving slower." Puli thought as she noted how the Shimis are moving sluggishly.
"Don't just hover there, attack them!" Fragil said, snapping Puli out of her thoughts.
"Right!" Puli said before attacking the slow-moving Shimis with her feathers.
Elsewhere in the stone fortress, Nozel's team are walking along a passageway, completely alone.
"Hm? Are there no other enemies in this area of their base?" En questioned, glancing over his shoulder just in case.
"I can't hear anything close by, but the others are in the midst of battle." Slash exclaimed, now in his "Hundred-Eyed Peacock" form, which was requested by Nozel, responded as he focus most of his attention on his hearing.
"For someone whose good at hearing, it would be expected that your long-ranged form of your sword would be longer." En commented, causing Slash to glare underneath his helmet.
"What's that supposed to mean?" The swordsman of sound asked, sounding offended.
"Well. I thought that a sniper role would be more suitable for you than close range." En explained which caused Slash to become more angry.
"Listen he-!" Slash began to say but abruptly stop along with freezing mid-step.
"What is it?" Nozel asked, glancing towards the swordsman of sound.
"…..Do you three have a strange feeling?" Slash asked back, causing Nozel, En and Siren to become confuse for a few seconds before feeling a sense of slight drowsiness.
"Can you hear anyone part from us?" Nozel asked, keeping his gaze forwards just in case they got attacked from the front.
"…..I don't know. My hearing feels disorientated due to this feeling." Slash responded, gaining a frown underneath his helent.
"What sort of opponent are we facing?" Nozel thought, his mind turning to the space that they are currently in.
Whilst the four Royal Knights looked in different directions, they weren't aware that someone appeared between them in a ghostly fashion, a humanoid-looking person that has the head of an elephant, the ears of a rhinoceros, claws of a tiger and a body of a bear. On their chest is a book-like emblem.
"hehehe. It looks like that they haven't noticed by presence. Not even the swordsman of sound's hearing is picking up my presence." The Baku-themed Megid thought in a female voice before raising her arms and placing them against Nozel's head and released a pink aura.
The captain of the Silver Eagles blinked his eyes as he felt a strange sensation going through his body.
Nozel turned around to see if the others have felt something off, but when he turned around, he only saw Slash and En.
Where Siren should have been, Nozel someone else.
The sight of the person caused an angry expression to appear on his face and attack, summoning liquid-formed mercury which solidified into spear-like weapon and fired towards the new person.
Slash noticed movement from the corner of his vision and immediately moved, using the peacock tails to protect…...Siren?
However, the attack still pierce through the peacock tails, causing Slash to grunt when the weapon struck him, but didn't pierce through his armor thanks to Mana-Skin.
The noise caused Siren and En to glance behind them and immediately took a few steps back.
"Sire?!" Siren exclaimed, a startled expression appearing on his usual emotionless face as his mind realized what would happen if Slash didn't got behind him.
Nozel blinked his eyes in confusion as he vision returned to normal before retracting the mercury-made spear from Slash.
"Why did you start attacking us?!" Slash asked, feeling relieved that he used Mana-Skin to better protect himself.
"I don't know….I thought that…." Nozel responded, still confused as to what had happened.
"Oh? So you immediately attacked the person that you saw through my spell?" A commented, causing the four Royal Knights to turn around towards the source of the voice to see the Baku-themed Megid.
"A Megid?!" Slash exclaimed as he point Suzume towards the Baku-themed Megid.
"So much for your hearing." En commented with a small smirk on his face.
"Not now." The swordsman of sound hissed, glaring at En slightly from the side of his vision.
"What did you do to me? Why did you show me that vile woman?" Nozel asked, glaring at the Baku-themed Megid.
"Nothing in particular. My spell simply showed you someone from your past in a form of an illusion." The Baku-themed Megid explained as she hover in the air, crossed-legged.
"At least it isn't Mother." Nozel thought as he calmed down, thinking how much of a fool he would made himself if Acier Silva appeared instead.
"But who was that person, hm? She must be something who you absolutely hate to attack her immediately." The Baku-themed Megid asked, noting how the captain of the Silver Eagles said "vile woman".
"The identity of that woman doesn't concern you." Nozel responded sharply, glaring at the Baku-themed Megid.
The response caused the Baku-themed Megid to sigh.
"Oh well, it not like the answer will affect me anyway. Now then you four, be prepare to die by my hands, Dream-Eating Baku." The now known Dream-Eating introduce herself before shimmering and starting to multiply.
"She can make copies of herself." Nozel thought before firing a mercury-made spear towards one of the Dream-Eating Baku who was lunging towards him.
However, the Dream-Eating Baku glitched slightly when the mercury-made spear went through her.
"Is that all your copies are capable of? They are no threat if they're just empty illusions." Nozel commented as he summoned mercury in its liquid form.
"Empty illusions? You are very naive if you think like that, royal." One of the many Dream-Eating Baku responded before lunging towards Siren this time.
The Golden Dawn Royal Knight didn't do anything, expecting the attacker to go through him.
"Ofh!" Siren grunted as the Dream-Eating Baku copy struck him.
"So you can make your copies solid." Slash commented as he quickly raised Suzume and pressed the trigger, firing a Mana-Bullet at a Dream-Eating Baku which dissolved when struck.
"That's correct, swordsman of sounds. But…..can you find the real me amongst my copies? All of the Dream-Eating Baku's said at the same time.
"Can't you find the real one with your hearing?" En asked as he got his chosen spell at the ready.
"I can't. All of them are producing the same sounds." Slash responded with a frown underneath his helmet.
"Slash, Tium. You two focus on the copies behind us whilst you, En, spread you fungus pores all around us. I'll focus on the copies in front of us." Nozel instructed and he got ready to attack.
The other three nod their heads, with Siren creating a stone axe and En summoning small mushrooms.
"All your efforts are pointless." All the Dream-Eating Baku's said in a cold tone of voice before creating Mana-made spheres and prepare to attack the four Royal Knights.
"Don't you dare hurt my beautiful face!" Kirsch exclaimed as he swing an arm, causing a clump of cherry blossom petals to be flung towards the group of vespids that are attacking him.
That's right, Kirsch's team are getting attacked by a swarm of vespids.
"Seriously? How I'm I supposed to fight like this?"" Ben, now wearing a copper-made armor to protect himself from the small vespids, questioned as he swing his copper-made mace, attempting hit the vespids.
"Wow! You guys are super fast!" Luck said as he zip about the place, swiping the air with his lighting-clad arms, trying to land a hit on vespids who are moving quickly about the place before attacking.
"Kekekekeke. It looks like you lot are pathetic when it comes to fighting small and quick opponents." A vesped-themed Megid commented with an evil "grin" on her face.
"How dare you mock us!" Joyeues shouted in an angry tone of voice as she swing Argent-Couronne, attempting to hit Queen Vespid.
However, despite her being roughly the same size as a human being, she possess the same speed as her miniature soldiers.
"You got to try better then that, swords-woman." Queen Vespid commented in a mocking tone of voice.
This cause a tick-mark to appear on Joyeues's forehead.
"Why you…" The swords-woman of steel muttered before swinging Argent-Courrone in a series of slashes in order to hit the vespid-themed Megid, but ended not hitting her once.
"Let's try some new." Vespid Queen said before raising into the air, out of Argent-Couronne's reach.
"What is she doing now?" Joyeues thought, becoming on guard as she watch Vespid Queen point a finger at her.
The swords-woman of steel's eyes widened when Vespid Queen fired one of her nails straight towards her.
Joyeues jerked her head to the side, but heard a scraping sound.
"My nails are extremely fast. So you better be careful." Vespid Queen said with a "smirk" on her face.
"I need to keep in close range to this Megid, that ought to reduce her usage of her long-range weapon." Joyeues thought as she sprint towards Vespid Queen whilst taking out the "Tortoise And Hare" Wonder-Ride book.
As the swords-woman of steel began to thrust Argent-Couronne forwards, Vespid Queen move backwards.
"I don't know what this girl is planning, but it won't do her any good." Vespid Queen thought as she raised her arms and began to fire her needle-like nails at Joyeues.
However, Vespid Queen's eyes widened when she saw Joyeues moving more quicker than last time whilst using the tortoise's shell to defend herself against the needles.
"Grrrr. Let's try this then." Vespid Queen muttered as she summoned a new horde of vespid soldiers.
"Oh no…." Joyeues moaned in her head, she having to deal with some vespid soldiers before facing Vespid Queen.
Luckily, thanks to the rabbit's speed, Joyeues can keep on moving without the vespid soldiers distracting her….even though all the buzzing sound is annoying.
It was at that moment that the vespid-themed Megid herself appeared and starting to use her fists against the swords-woman of steel.
"This not going great." Joyeues thought as her entire body shook from the impact of Vespid Queen's fists against her tortoise's shield before shivering when she notice that some of the vespid solider are crawling all over her.
"Get away from her!" A voice shouted before Vespid Queen was hit by Ben's copper mace.
Joyues immediately shook herself, getting rid of the vespid soldiers that are still crawling all over her.
"You took your time." Joyeues commented as she gave the Crimson Lion Royal Knight a look.
"What. These things are annoying, even though I am wearing armor." Ben responded, making Joyeues shook her head slightly.
"You pay for that, wretched Magic Knight!" Vespid Queen's voice exclaimed in anger as she peeled herself away from the wall that she crashed landed into.
"That's old news. We're Royal Knights now." Joyeues said in a haughty tone of voice.
"Who give a damn!" Vespid Queen responded angrily.
"Oh dear." Ben thought as he glanced towards Joyeues whose entire body is shaking.
"H…..h….how dare you speak to me like that, a royal!" Joyeues shouted before dashing towards the vespid-themed Megid.
"Even though that girl is from a different royal family, she can be just as scary as Captain Mereoleone." Ben thought as he charged after Joyeues.
Turning the clock to when Mereoleone just punched Ryha.
"That's some impressive speed that Captain Mereoleone just showed!" Nils said in a surprised tone of voice.
"She's not fighting long-ranged any more. I wonder if can copy some of her moves." Saber thought, having a face of awe underneath his helmet.
"She just slugged that guy with an arm powered by an incredible concentrated amount of Mana. She's more of a fighter than any Mage I've ever seen!" Zora thought with a calm expression on his face.
With Ryha, the remaining member of the "Third Eye" seemingly teleported whilst he quickly regained his senses from getting punched by Mereoleone, reappearing on a cube that his floating within a massive room before activating a healing spell.
"He'd just recovered again! Should we help Captain Mereoleone?" Saber asked as he glanced towards Zora and Nils.
"If you don't want to die, pipe down and watch." Mereoleone spoke, answering Saber's question.
"O….okay…." The swordsman of flames said in a meek tone of voice.
"I knew it. You're the most bothersome opponent this time around. But, well….there's no point in getting a big head over magic you stole from us, royal!" Ryha explained just as the pages of Grimoire began to turn.
"What the heck did he mean by that?" Mereoleone thought, referring to the "magic stealing" part.
"Copy Magic: Light Sword Of Conviction." Ryha announced as he created multiple light-made swords.
"That's The Eye Of The Midnight Sun's leader's crazy fast spell!" Saber shouted, remembering the times that Licht used that spell.
At that moment, Ryha send the light-made swords flying straight towards Mereoleone.
"They're going fast!?" Nils exclaimed, becoming shock.
With Mereoleone, the captain of the Royal Knights remained where she stood as she lit her arms on fire.
With some insane speed, Mereoleone destroyed the light-made swords by a flurry of punches, shocking everyone.
"Next." Mereoleone said with a grin on her face.
"What the hell was that speed?" Ryha questioned just as Mereoleone disappeared and reappeared behind him.
"Copy Magic: Invisible Seeker!" Ryha announced quickly before becoming transparent.
"That spell. That looks like something that would belong to the former captain of the Purple Orcas." Zora commented with a frown on his face.
"What? When did that guy managed too copy a Magic Knight's captain's spell?" Nils questioned, by Zora shrug his shoulders in response.
Back to the fight, the pages of Ryha's Grimoire began to turn before stopping.
"Copy Magic: Aqua Javelin." Ryha announced as he reappeared behind the captain of the Royal Knights and launched a water-made javelin at her.
However, Mereoleone quickly turned around and punched the javelin, evaporating it with her magic.
"Next!" Mereoleone shouted as she stare at Ryha.
"Her reaction on par with Vetto's. And did she just changed her trajectory in mid-air?" Ryha thought, becoming confuse at the last part.
"Copy Magic: Salamander's Breath!" Ryha announced as an image of the spirit of fire appeared behind him and fired a ball of flames towards Mereoleone.
"Next!" Mereoleone shouted as she easily destroyed the attack.
"So she can burn water spells, the attribute that she's weak against, and fire spells, her own attribute?!" Ryha thought as he backed away from the captain of the Royal Knights and fire multiple spells.
However, Mereoleone easily destroyed each one.
"Mereoleone Vermillion. She's as unbelievable as the rumors say. I did some checking around and from what I hear, she says things like "The capital is stuffy" or "I want to eat meat from wild animals"...and lives in the woods and plains over 300 days a year. She's a real woman." Zora thought as he and the other two watch Mereoleone battle Ryha.
"I heard a rumor that she steeped herself in the Mana of the natural world, and while she was living out there, her Mana skin reached a higher level. Those monstrous moves of hers….I guess the rumor was true!" Zora thought as he turned his attention towards Ryha.
"I've never heard of that Ryha guy's magic, but I think I've got it figured out. His copy magic is outrageous stuff that can even mimic spell attribute. In other words, he can use any attribute! Not only that, but the strength of the magic spell is the same as his own phenomenal power. So even if he copies an average Mage, his spells pack more power than the original. But while he got one spell activated, he can't use another spell with a different attribute, such as when he lifted his invisibility to fire a spell." Zora thought as he observe Ryha's fighting style.
"Whoa! Captain Mereoleone is awesome! Can I even take anything out of this?!" Saber thought with widened eyes underneath his helmet.
"Is that you got?! Then let's finish this!" Mereoleone shouted as she launched herself at Ryha, preparing to fire a spell.
"Mana Zone: Calidos Brachium Barrage!" Mereoleone announced as she launched multiple punches which hit Ryha from all directions.
"Huh? How's Captain Mereoleone able to attack that guy from all directions?" Saber asked in a confused tone of voice as he glanced at the others.
"Captain Mereoleone is using an ability call Mana-Zone, an ability that allows a person to harness the Mana that is floating in the surrounding area and control territory at will. Within that territory, you can discharge more Mana than you personally have, from any directions. Your detection abilities grows astoundingly sharp and superhuman reaction becomes easy. By borrowing the power of Mana, you can move freely, even though the air." Nils explained, his eyes focused on the battle in front of them.
"So it's basically a reverse version of Mana-Skin." Saber thought as he tilted his head to the side.
"That woman is insane." Zora commented, some sweat starting to trickle down his face.
"If that's all you got...then you soon will be turned into cinders in now time!" Mereoleone shouted as she continued to attack Ryha.
"She got me good….but I guess its time to use that." Ryha thought before activating a spatial magic spell and escaping the barrage of flame attacks.
"Tch. So you managed to escape." Mereoleone commented in an annoyed tone of voice as she glanced towards Ryha has reappeared and immediately healed himself.
"Heh….heh…..heh. I can't go down…..just yet…." Ryha managed to say through deep breaths before taking something out of his pocket.
"Oh no…" Saber muttered in a horrified tone of voice as he recognized the object.
"What's wrong?" Nils asked, starting to become concerned at the at the stiffness of Saber's body.
"Captain Mereoleone is in serious trouble if Ryha has decided to use that book….." Saber responded as he stared at the book which is dark red in colour with black lines and a gold emblem in the centre at the front of the Alter-Ride book.
"Oh? So you're decided to use that demonic power up that I've been told about." Mereoleone commented, sounding slightly amused.
"That's right, but you should be worried about your own safety." Ryha responded as he opened the cover, revealing a pictures which shows a person surrounded by pages with blackish-red letters.
"With the opening of the book, the nightmare begins…."
The Alter-Ride book announced before Ryha closed the cover and placed it within a newly appeared belt-buckle, causing a standby sound to start placing for a few seconds before Ryha pressed a button, causing the Alter-Ride book to open onto a new page.
Unleash the demonic force!
The Alter-Ride book announced just as multiple pages flew out of it and float around Ryha.
Write the words with the blood of your enemies!
Demonic story!
No one can escape the fate that is written down….
The Alter-Ride book announced again just as the pages fused onto Ryha, forming a dark red armor underneath a black under-suit. Written across the armor are runes of some sorts and acting as shoulder guards are pages. For the helmet, it's visor resembles an open book with dark red eyes.
"Wind Magic: Tornado Fang-Triple Strike." Yuno announced as he attack a group of The Eye Of The Midnight Sun's Mages and Shimis from behind them…..whilst standing in front of them.
"Sorry, but people on your level can't stop me anymore." Yuno said in a calm tone of voice.
"He unleashed a spell from behind the enemy! Did he used Mana-Zone?! Come to think of it, when he generated that spell inside that other spell...and that Spirit Dive power….they were possible only become he was using Mana-Skin." Mimosa thought as she watch Yuno climb a set of stairs.
With Yuno, the Golden Dawn Royal Knight become confuse as he started to here a sound.
"….A pulse?" Yuno thought as he stare upwards at the long staircase.
And there we go, the different teams of the Royal Knights fighting against different Megid, two of them giving to me by one of your readers, whilst Saber's team, or should I say Mereoleone, face Ryha who has decided to use an Alter-Ride book.
So in Black Clover, Ichika revealed to Asta, plus Liebe, that she and Sukehiro were apart of clan of assassins called the Kijin who protected one of the five provinces which is ruled by the Ryudo family. However, Sukehiro isn't interested in carrying out the tradition of the Kijin clan and focus on fishing. During one of Sukehiro's fishing sessions, where he caught a big pufferfish, that Ryuga decided to join him, and those who are witnessing Sukehiro's fishing. Despite the younger Ichika addressing him as "sama", Ryuya said to drop it before explaining that he want to create a country of equality, something that Sukehiro encouraged. However, sometime later, Ichika and Ryuga witness Sukehiro killing the entire Kijin clan before running away and ending up in the Clover Kingdom. Back in the present, Asta refused this, causing an argument to occur which resulted in Ichika stating that they going back to training before activating one of her spells, "Dark Yojutsu: Dark Cloaked Black Musha", cladding her in armor.
During the flashback, Ichika told Asta about a legend that involves a five-headed dragon going on rampage within Hino before becoming appeased by a celestial maiden which then lead to the dragon's Yoryoku seeping into the sea, turning it black and stagnant, resulting in a distortion which connected to hell. I think this is the origin of how dark magic/Yojutsu came into the human world from the underworld because Moris made the comment on how "dark magic turn the tree black", resulting in the tree of Qliphoth ritual, something that's similar to what happened to the blackened sea. The next mystery of this story is who is the celestial maiden, is she some sort of heavenly figure? I hope that this something that Mr Tabata will come back to. Something else note-worthy is how Sukehiro's and Ichika's father made the comment of "demon sword wielders", so there could be a connection with Asta's sword and Hino. It could be that in the past, someone from Hino found themselves in the Clover Kingdom and became friends with Licht which then led to the creation of the Demon Slayer, Demon Dweller and Demon Destroyer swords. Sukehiro's katana became known as the Demon Slasher sword when it entered Asta's Grimoire, so maybe the name is drawing its roots from the Kijin clan.
In Geats, the three remaining participants and Tsumuri witness the Jamato area expanding along with Saboten Knight consuming the can instead of drinking from it, making Ace commenting about adapting and improvise since he and the others can't kick the can now. The Game Master of the DGP then appeared and gave the three Kamen Riders a side mission of rising an egg which contain an item, making Michinaga angry. The three Kamen Riders then went into battle carrying their chosen eggs, with Nago carrying hers within a pouch, Buffa simply ditching his and Geats telling his egg the situation and commenting how its power will be able to save the world, making Nago questioning the type of parenting that Geats is using. The Rider then made copies of himself, through the "Ninja" Raise Buckle, with two of them examining saboten Knight and discovering that the can is located within the Jamato's chest. This lead to Geats gaining the "Boost" Raise Buckle through a secret side mission, but unfortunately Saboten Knight made its escape. Back at the Desire Hall, Neon and Michinaga witness their eggs hatching, earning them the "Propeller" Raise Buckle and the "Drill" Raise Buckle. Unfortunately, Ace's egg didn't hatch, making him comment how his is a late bloomer. The next day involves Nago and Buffa going into battle using their new Raise Buckles, without Geats. However, after failing to defeat Saboten Knight, Geats appeared and said to the two that hang back and wait until his egg hatches, thus allowing him to defeat the Jamato. However, this resulted in Buffa becoming angry at him before fighting again. When it would seem that Saboten Knight would finish Buffa using its sword, Geats blocked the attack with his egg, causing it to finally hatch, revealing the "Monster" Raise Buckle, which he then used to one-shot Saboten Knight along with destroying the can, thus making him the victor of the DGP. Neon and Michinaga then got retired before the world started to get rewritten into Ace's wish. Despite this however, Tsumuri objected about granting Ace's desire, but the Game Master refused, saying that he earned the reward. Later, it is revealed that the Game Master is in fact Girori.
And there we have it, the end of the DGP with Geats being the victor, no surprise really, and the rule for this episode is that when the Desire God's desire is granted, the world is remade and humanity's memory is reset. This episode also involves the return of PunkJack with him out of his armor and commenting how the next DGP will be fun. Bad news time, the next episode of Geats won't be aired next week, but it is kind of ironic since the DGP has just finished so the committee are taking a break until starting the next DGP.
The title for the Geats X Revice crossover movie has been revealed "Movie Battle Royal" with a small teaser trailer. The movie poster has been "updated", with Vice being blurred out, signifying how he has disappeared during finale of Revice. However, the trailer shows Ikki in his Ultimate Revi form, which is an indication that Ikki will get his Rider powers back, either through resurrecting Vice and forming a "new" contract or temporary regaining his powers through the "Revice" Raise Buckle that made a small apperance during the final episode of Revice.
Please review and until next time.
Dragon Rider 66:
1) Yes, even though it has been a while since the reveal of Yuno's true magic I still believe that Asta should be in some way connected to star magic. If Tetsuo did reveal the prophecy of Xross-Saber to the others, then it would like cause Asta to work harder. For now, let's focus on the current action which involves the three Megid and Ryha using his new power-up.
2) Tycoon certainly knows how to use the "Ninja" Raise Buckle to fight Saboten Knight, even using the "Boost" Raise Buckle for extra speed. I guess it could be a possible that Kiewa could make his return into the DGP since he was one of the last four participants that took part in the final mission and got retired rather than getting killed. Another option could be his sister taking his place as Kamen Rider Tycoon since Sara touched the Tycoon ID Core. From the looks of things, it does seem that the other Riders will only have one personal Raise Buckle, but at least the "Boost" Raise Buckle is customable with the head-piece changing with what Rider is using it. With the "Fever" Raise Buckle, since it basically double the power of a Raise Buckle, it could be that the Rider looses all of their collected Raise Buckles along with the "Fever" Raise Buckle disappearing, making the Raise Buckle a one-time item like "Boost".
3) That would be interesting to see...until Oma-Zio appears and reset Master Logos's plans to zero.
4) Unfortunately, no Ryuzen appeared during the backstory.
5) I guess that's true that Kiewa may contain some trust issues with Ace if he appears in the next DGP and regains his memories.
6) The "Boost" Raise Buckle will be feeling that its unappreciated by Tycoon until the final mission.
7) I'm thinking that the final forms will be granted through a different Driver or a modified Desire Driver. Considering that there have been three recycled helmets, I have the feeling that the producers may saving the budget for something big in the future.
8) I think Mimosa's plant-themed Vistamp will be a part of the mimosa genus, a group of plants.
Itspowertime:
1) If you were thinking that Rhya will use an Alter-Ride book, well done.
2) Hmmmm, you may find that answer pretty soon.
Farhan Nugraha:
1) Oh! I thought you were talking differently than Rose Paladin, but funny enough, I was originally on planning on Ruby to become the Summer Maiden instead of the Winter Maiden.
2) The swordsman of the void maaaaaaybe appearing in the next arc.
3) Those certain are interesting choices for Personas for Ruby to wield...along with causing a few head-pains.
4) I didn't know there is a manga called Black Sun.
Raidentensho: That's a cool idea for the "Primitive Dragon" Wonder-Ride book, being summoned rather than being stored within the main branch of the Sword Of Logos.
