Here we are everyone! The 100th chapter mark.
Gathering forces
"Well, there's your answer." Zora commented in a blank tone of voice.
"Er….Yeah." Rin said in an awkward tone of voice.
"How are they moving their entire base? Is it's one of it's functions or someone using their magic to move it?" Tetsuo thought, his mind turning towards the possessed Siren.
"We should start making our way towards the capital as well, hopefully getting there first." Nozel commented as he opened his Grimoire and create a mercury-made eagle.
Everyone climbed aboard, with Zora picking up Mereoleone, and then the mercury-made eagle took off into the air.
With Espada, the swords-woman of lighting is having a difficult time fighting the possessed Purple Orca Magic Knight(?).
Even though she's in her Golden Alangina form, the quantity of Mana that the possessed Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) possessed is just too great.
"Why don't you just give up? It's obvious that there is no chance of winning for you." The Purple Orca Magic Knight commented whilst vines stand behind him.
"What sort of Magic Knight would I be if I just run away?" Espada asked as she grip Ikazuchi tightly.
"For whose benefit your actions will favor more. Human are selfish beings, only caring about their own needs whilst letting those beneath them suffer. But don't worry, I won't show any discrimination as I kill the entire village." The Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) said before getting ready to attack.
"That is not reassuring." Espada thought getting into a battle stance.
"Go, Zofnir's Fingers." The Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) ordered, making the vines, which are apart of a spell called "Poison Plant Magic: Zofnir's Garden of Lingering Burns", to shoot forwards towards the swords-woman of lighting dodged the first set of vines before swinging Ikazuchi, hoping to cut some of the vines.
However, due to the quantity of the Purple Orca Magic Knight's(?), the targeted vines couldn't be cut.
Espada couldn't perform a second sword attack, to see if that would make any difference, as the swords-woman of lighting had to jump back unless she wanted to get skewered by more of Zofnirs fingers.
"Lighting Creation Magic: Lamp Buster." Espada announced with an open Grimoire, creating the lamp-like weapon which she then started to fire at the Purple Orca Magic Knight(?).
However, vines suddenly appeared in front of the Purple Orca Magic Knight(?), protecting him from Espada's attack.
"Tch. Let's try this then." The swords-woman of lighting thought in her head just as her Grimoire started to turn it's pages.
"Lighting Creat-?" Espada began to announced but stop when vines suddenly sprout of the ground behind her.
"What's going on now?" Espada muttered just as purple petal-like pieces started to come out of the vines, forming a mouth-like shapes.
"Poison Plant Magic: Zofnir's Breath." The Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) announced and thick purple smoke started to spew out of the mouth-like pieces.
Espada immediately jumped back, having a bad feeling that the smoke is poisonousness and don't want to take the risk just because she's wearing a helmet.
A crunching can be heard, causing the swords-woman of lighting to glance over her shoulder and her eyes widened underneath her helmet as she saw that more vines have burst out of the ground with purple mouth-like pieces.
Espada's free hand immediately went to one of her open Wonder-Ride books.
Lamp Do Alangina!
The Wonder-Ride book announced and the gold mechanical genie appeared and swing it's two arms downwards, crushing the two plant before they could started to spew poison.
This caused annoyed expression to appear on the Purple Orca Magic Knight's face before creating more poison breathing plants.
"I'll leave them to you." Espada said, knowing that the poison won't affect Lamp Do Alangina.
This caused the gold mechanical genie to nod it's head before turning it's attention towards the numerous poison-breathing plants, whose poison have started to spread.
"The poisonousness would be easier to deal with if Rin was here." Espada commented in her head as she turned her attention towards the Purple Orca Magic Knight(?).
"Just because you managed to summon help, it doesn't change the outcome that you will lose." The Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) said as vines hover around him.
"Are your sure about that?" Espada questioned before pressing down on one of her other Wonder-Ride books.
Tri-Cerberus!
The Wonder-Ride book announced and golden three-headed dog appeared.
"More of those things!?" The Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) shouted in his head as she swish one of his arms, causing vines to shoot forwards.
However, Tri-Cerberus caught the vines with all three of it's heads.
"Thanks." Espada said just as the pages of her Grimoire started to turn.
"Lighting Creation Magic: Lighting Genie's Thief's Boots." Espada announced, making her legs become clad in lighting before moving at a faster pace.
"Where is she going to strike?" The Purple Orca Magic Knight questioned himself as he followed Espada's movements, who is circling around him, whilst summoning more vines to protect himself.
Whilst the swords-woman of lighting continue to run around the Purple Orca Magic Knight(?), she pressed the open page of the third Wonder-Ride book.
Needle Hedgehog!
The third Golden-coloured Wonder-Ride book announced and the Purple Orca Magic Knight suddenly got pelted by sharp spikes.
Even though the Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) is protected by vines, some of the spikes still managed to hit him, going through the gaps between the vines.
"Ghe." The Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) grunted as the spikes struck him.
"These spikes will be a pain if I let her continue to fire them." The Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) thought as he glanced in a direction, attempting to see the real Espada instead of an after image.
It was then that the Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) sensed a presence, making him look up and see Lamp Do Alangina staring down at him.
"I must escape!" The Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) exclaimed as some of the vines moved out of the way, allowing him to run.
However, the gold mechanical genie suddenly appeared in front of the Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) and throw a lighting-covered fist towards him.
The Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) was sent flying off his feet before crashing onto the ground.
"Ohf…." The Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) groaned as he attempted to get himself up off the ground.
However, mainly due to getting attacked by lighting and getting punched, he was having some difficulty achieving his goal.
A shadow suddenly loomed over him, making the Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) look up and saw Tri-Cerberus glaring down at him.
"Stay away from me!" The Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) said as he threw an arm, causing vines to shoot out of the grounds.
With quick reaction, one of Tri-Cerberus's head managed to catch the vine.
However, this gave the Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) enough time to get back onto his feet.
Final Page!
A voice suddenly announced, causing the Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) to turn around and seeing Espada with Ikazuchi within her Seiken Sword-Driver.
"I hope you're ready, since this is final attack." Espada commented as she got into a stance.
"Final attack?! Don't make me laugh!" The Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) said in a slight angry tone of voice as the pages of his Grimoire started to turn.
However, Espada has already unsheathe Ikazuchi.
Unsheathe the Lighting!
Cerberus! Hedgehog! Alangina!
Three volume slash! Th-th-th-thunder!
The voice announced just as lighting started to cover the blade of Ikazuchi.
"Here I go!" Espada exclaimed before suddenly shooting forwards.
The Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) could only widened his eyes in shock as he struck by a large mass of lighting just as Espada stopped a few feet behind him.
"I'm sorry, the soul of whose body it originally belongs to." Espada thought in her head just as the Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) collapsed onto the ground.
Espada turned around and glanced down at the unconscious form of the Purple Orca Magic Knight(?).
"….He hasn't returned back to normal." Espada thought, seeing how the Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) still has the golden aura, pointy ears and red markings.
"That's concerning." Espada thought before sheathing Ikazuchi back into the Seiken Sword-Driver and closing all three Wonder-Ride books, cancelling her transformation.
Donna then let out a sigh of relief.
"Well done on beating him. That was an impressive set of skills you just performed." A voice suddenly spoke, causing the wielder Of Ikazuchi to turn around to see Father Orsi approaching her.
"Yeah. Although that battle was tiring." Donna admitted, starting to feel her body getting heavy.
"You better rest up first if you planning on heading up." Father Orsi suggested, making Donna nod her head.
Back to the remaining Royal Knights, they are swiftly moving through the air on Nozel's mercury-made eagle attempting to get ahead of the moving Eye Of The Midnight Sun's stronghold and have just entered the Forsaken Realm.
"Hm? Isn't that the giant Demon Skull that's just outside Hage village?" Mimosa commented as she looked in a direction.
This cause the rest of the Royal Knights to glance in the same direction and saw the giant three-eyed skull in the distance.
"Yes." Yuno responded before starting to gain a slight worried expression on his face.
"It doesn't look like the village isn't getting attacked." En commented, looking roughly in the area where the village would be and saw that nothing seems to be happening.
"I'm guessing that they aren't interested in some small fry who are set far away from their destination." Zora commented in an uncaring tone of voice.
"What did you say?" Yuno asked in a slightly annoyed tone of voice.
"Please don't fight. We've lost most of our allies already." Mimosa said with a small smile on her face, noticing one of Yuno's twitching above his Grimoire.
It was at that moment that Noelle spotted something flying into the sky from the place Hage village is presumably set.
"There's something heading out of Hage village." Noelle pointed out, causing the other Royal Knights to look towards the direction of Hage village and spotted the object.
"…..I think that's Donna riding her golden carpet." Rin said with narrow eyes after a few seconds of trying to see what the same is.
This caused mainly the other two Sword Of Logos Royal Knight to become relieved before becoming tense.
"But is she possessed or not?" Zora questioned, knowing that Donna's armor's main color is gold.
"…..It doesn't seem so, she doesn't have that golden aura….I think she's spotted us." Tetsuo said as he notice Donna changing direction and heading towards them.
Whilst the Royal Knights started to become relaxed whilst Donna approached them, they started to become confused when they saw Donna speeding towards them, having silver in her hands.
Rin reacted quickly by getting in front of Yuno and raising the twin blades of Hayate in an x position, just in time to block the sword attack of Ikazuchi with Donna having jumped off her golden carpet.
It took the Royal Knights a few seconds to realize why Donna attempted to attack Yuno.
"Donna! Yuno is still in control of his body!" Noelle shouted just her Grimoire floated beside her, ready to cast "Sea Dragon's Nest." if needed.
"Huh?" Donna said with a confused expression on her face.
"Yuno…..somehow managed to stop the reincarnated soul from taken over his body." Tetsuo explained whilst having his arms raised.
"…..Really?" Donna asked, being cautious just in case Yuno is still possessed at the reincarnated soul has somehow managed to brainwash the rest of the Royal Knights.
"Yes. He was on the same team as me when we stormed the Eye Of The Midnight Sun's stronghold." Mimosa explained, finally managing to make Donna relax.
"Oh, right...I just thought that…" Donna attempted to speak, but her voice disappeared.
"Understandable. Those two attacked me when they first saw me." Yuno said gesturing towards Nozel and Kirsch, making Donna nod her head slightly.
"Hm? Is that one of the possessed Magic Knights?" Kirsch asked as he noticed the Purple Orca Magic Knight(?), tied up with lighting.
"Yes. He arrived at Hage village and attempted to attack the villagers/Is everyone okay?" Yuno asked quickly, becoming concerned.
"Don't worry. The villagers are safe. I'd managed to move the battle away from the village as much as possible." Donna responded in a reassuring tone of voice.
This cause Yuno to sigh in relief.
"What were you doing at Hage village, on patrol?" Nozel asked, becoming curious.
"No. Captain Sophia told me to take the day off to clear my head so I decided to head towards Hage village, the place that Asta grew up in for the past ten years." Donna explained before turning her attention towards Yuno.
"Sister Lilly told me a lot of stories of your past." Donna said with a grin on her face, causing Yuno to freeze slightly.
"Father Orsi said to give you and Asta this, something to snack on." Donna said before handing the Golden Dawn wind Mage a smallish bag which he opened slightly, becoming curious.
"What's inside the bag?" Mimosa asked as she and the others become curious as well.
"Some Nomototatos, one of the crops grown in Hage village." Donna replied before a question enter her head.
"Where's Asta?" The wielder of Ikazuchi asked, becoming curious. The question cause mainly Noelle, Rin, Tetsuo, Mimosa and Yuno to become quiet.
"He was one of the many of the Royal Knights that got possessed….." Rin responded in a low tone of voice, causing Donna to widen her eyes in horror.
"P-please tell me that you aren't serious?" Donna asked in a slight pleading tone of voice.
However, the wielder of Hayate shook her head, causing the wielder of Ikazuchi to drop her head towards the metal surface of the mercery-made eagle.
"What did you expect? The swordsman of flames isn't here." Nozel pointed out as he glanced over his shoulder.
"I thought that you split into multiple groups…...Wait, is this all that is left of the Royal Knights?" Donna asked with a perplexed expression on her face as she looked at at everyone.
"Yes. It pains me to say that all of the rest of the Royal Knights got possessed by multiple reincarnated souls. What a shame that who have to face those who are once comrades." Kirsch responded with a "mournful" expression on his face.
"Please be serious, Brother." Mimosa said with a blank expression on her face.
"Did the soul that is possessing this Magic Knight said anything that can be any use to us?" Nozel asked as he glanced at the Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) who is in a state of unconscious.
"The only thing I think of is that he kept on saying how the elves will take their revenge against the Clover Kingdom." Donna responded as he glanced at the unconscious Purple Orca Magic Knight(?) as well. The response cause everyone to be surprise.
"Elves? The same ones that supposedly existed during the time of the first Wizard King?" Zora asked as he raised an eye-brow.
"Supposedly yes. According to the Witch Queen, the human and elves fought each other with the elves being wiped out." Donna explained, making Zora blinked his eyes.
"I don't see why the elves need to take revenge against us? According to the stories, their supposed to be evil people where the leader transformed into a Demon, the same one that the Wizard King fought and slain?" Kirsch questioned, him having a raised eye-brow as well.
"To be honest, how exactly accurate are those stories?" Tetsuo questioned, causing a slight questioned, causing a slight angry expression to appear on the Coral Peacock's vice-captain's face.
"What?! You dare to question the history of the Clover Kingdom'?!" Kirsch demanded as he glared at the wielder of Suzune.
"Well, you know the saying, "History is written by the victors"." Tetsuo responded…..yet avoiding eye-contact, making everyone sweat-drop.
"Wait. Does that mean that this "Tetia" person is an elf who is well known by the Clover Kingdom well enough to have her name written down?" Mimosa thought, tilting her head, becoming curious.
"Anything else worth mentioning?" Nozel asked, turning his attention back to Donna.
"Well…..before Hage village got attacked by him, the sky was suddenly filled with swords of light, seemingly covering the entire Clover Kingdom." Donna responded, making everyone shock.
"Swords of light!?" Nozel thought, his mind turning towards Licht, the one he's familiar with.
"However, before anything can happen, the swords of light suddenly disappeared and I headed towards the master of the Grimoire tower, attempting to contact Magic Knight's Headquarters. However before I could do that, a bright light suddenly appeared, coming from the Demon Skull, causing me to run back the same way that I came from and then I battled him." Donna finished her story.
"So that bright light must have been the spell which resulted in most of the Royal Knights to become possessed." En commented with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"So where are we heading now?" Donna asked, becoming curious.
"We're heading to the Royal Capital. It would seem that the elves's next step in their plan of revenge is attacking the capital." Nozel responded, making the wielder of Ikazuchi nod her head slightly.
"...However, whilst I personally dislike this plan of action, we need to split our forces." Nozel said, causing confused expressions to appear on everyone's faces.
"Whilst the elves's main target is the Royal Capital, there are other places being attacked by elf-possessed Magic Knights, or regular people. Without knowing how many Magic Knights are still on our side, it is too risky to simply ignore the areas surrounding the Royal Capital. So I'm going to drop the wielder of Hayate, Suzune and Ikazuchi in different places whilst the rest of us focus our attention on the Royal Capital. Once you three have dealt with the threat in that area, head to the capital." Nozel explained, making the three named Sword Of Logos Royal/Magic Knights to nod their heads, although Rin was slightly disappointed.
"….What about me, Brother?" Noelle asked, becoming nervous at what the answer could be.
"What are you talking about? You are royalty, you'll be protecting the castle with me." Nozel responded before turning around.
The response caused a shock expression to appear on Noelle's head as she started to remember the times when Nozel gave her the cold shoulder treatment.
The silver hair girl bit her lips whilst attempting not to let her body shake whilst the other member of the Sword Of Logos Magic Knight squad and Mimosa smiled slightly.
"Understood." Noelle said as the mercury-made eagle fly through the night sky.
"What the hell is going on? We rushed into town when we saw that it is being attacked, but we found this. What the meaning of this, Luck!" Magna shouted to Luck(?) who is standing on top of a broken tower, wearing lighting-made armor.
Previously, Magna has been training with Vanessa watching him.
However, that abruptly ended when the nearby town suddenly got attacked.
"Apparently he was hoping he would meet someone….was it you two? Too bad either way. Through the reincarnation magic, this body….has become mine, Luful's!" The known Luful exclaimed before jumping off the tower, heading straight towards Magna and Vanessa.
However, Luful's kick missed them, destroying a building instead.
"Huh? It made me attack somewhere completely different than where I expected...what an interesting magic." Luful commented as he noticed Rouge on his shoulder which "Meowed" in response.
"What the hell was that for all of a suddenly!" Magna shouted as he prepared to attack the elf-possessed Luck.
However, the Black Bull fire Mage suddenly tripped, thanks to Rouge suddenly touching him.
"What?!" Magna said in a shock tone of voice.
"Rouge is a friend to all of the Back Bulls. That's why it protected Luck!" Vanessa thought, becoming tense.
"Dispel that cat's powers, Vanessa!" Magna said as he glanced towards the Black Bull thread Mage.
"What are you saying?! If Luck's attack had it you just now, you would have been dead on the spot! And I'm sure that the real Luck has only been put to sleep by that forbidden magic." Vanessa explained, but Magna started to grin.
"That's exactly why...I'm trying to wake that idiot up! Eat this!" Magna shouted as he throw multiple fireballs towards Luful.
"What a simple magic. There's no way that could hit me…" Luful commented before seeing the fireballs disappearing.
"They disappeared! But I can still sense their Mana." Luful thought before suddenly running just as the fireballs suddenly reappeared and striking the spot where the elf-possessed Luck was standing.
"Doesn't matter what kind of magic you send my way, it can't hit me! In other words, you humans won't be able to defeat me! On the other hand, let's see if you can dodge my attacks!" Luful exclaimed as he dash towards Magna with a wide smile on his face.
"He's so fast!" Magna exclaimed in his head, starting to sweat slightly.
However, a piece of thread suddenly attached itself to the Black Bull fire Mage and pulled him to safety.
"Every last one of these guys is so hot-blooded and rearing to go, so I'll handle the support. Besides, if Luck gets beaten by you, it might be shocking enough to wake him up!" Vanessa said with a slight nervous smile on her face.
"These are the results of my training! Go on and try to dodge it!" Magna shouted as he throw multiple fireballs towards Luful again.
"I already told you that your magic won't be able to hit me-!" Luful explained just before the fireballs exploded.
"This is my new flame magic spell, "Time Bomb Spread-shot". Even if they don't hit you, they'll exploded. So which will disappear and which will explode? Let's see if you can figure out!" Magna explained with a smirk on his face as he started to fire an endless amount fireballs.
"You're tossed some balls that aren't exploding or disappearing...are those supposed to be fakes? Or perhaps you've run out of Mana?" Luful asked as he began to dodge the attacks.
"If he's sensing their Mana, then if he blends in with the regular magic balls, he can get behind him." Vanessa thought as she watch Luful moving so that he's behind Magna. "From this distance I'll be able to hit him." Magna thought as he prepared a fireball.
However, Luful closed the distance between him and Magna and grabbed the Black Bull fire Mage's arm.
"Too bad for you. I sensed your Mana." Luful commented in a dangerous tone of voice. "I know that. I know just how fast your Mana sense and speed are." Magna explained just before the fireball that he's still holding exploded.
"In that instant just now….he set a time bomb to go off?!" Luful thought as he felt the searing heat from the exploding fireball.
"But you probably don't know that I'm the kinda moron….that'd blow himself up along with whatever!" Magna exclaimed just as a few fireballs appeared, heading straight towards the pair and when it hit them, a massive explosion occurred.
Smoke filled the air, obscuring everything
"….If it were Luck….He'd probably have known that I'd be dumb enough to go that far….because when it comes to taking a beating and endurance….I'm the best there is!" Magna's voice rang through the smoke just as he prepare a spell.
"Fire Magic: Maximum Explosive Roaring Fire Burn!" Magna shouted as he threw a giant ball of fire straight at Luful, hitting him at point-blank range.
"Gah!" Luful exclaimed as he crashed onto the ground.
"Next up is "Fire Rope Binding Formation"." Magna said as fire-made ropes surround Luful.
"I know Luck real well...so I don't know who the hell you are, but you don't know a damn thing about him or me….and that's why you've got no chance of winning. So if you understand, hurry up and give that idiot back!" Magna said in a determined tone of voice, regardless of how badly damaged his body is.
"…..Haha...Ahahahahaha!" Luful began to laugh just before a bolt lighting suddenly descended from the sky, destroying the fire-made ropes.
Magna quickly moved back just as Luful got back onto his feet.
"Who was it you said had no chance of winning, human?!" Luful said in a dangerous tone of voice as lighting started to crackle around him.
Magna and Vanessa watched as Luful's lighting-made armor changed slightly, gaining a ring that is placed behind his shoulder-blades.
"By what means do you plan to beat me? Could you enlighten me?" Luful questioned as he began to smile in a cruel manner.
"Bring it. Until that bastard Luck wakes up, I'll smash you as many times as I need to." Magna responded, still in a determined tone of voice.
It was then that Luful suddenly disappeared.
"He disapp-" Magna began to thought, becoming shock, but stop when the surrounding buildings started to get destroyed.
"Come on then! Try to hit me!" Luful's voice shouted as he sped about the place.
"Even though he was already a monster a little while ago, this is just…" Magna began thought whilst gritting his teeth.
"This is a disaster!" Vanessa thought whilst starting to pale, seemingly finishing Magna's thought.
"Where are you looking?" Luful asked as he quickly approach the Black Bull fire Mage from a direction that he wasn't looking in.
The elf-possessed Luck throw a clawed gauntlet at Magna, impaling him.
"All right, we're done….?" Luful said before realizing that he somehow missed his target.
It took Luful a few seconds to realize what has happened.
"The power to manipulate the future….no. To pull the strings of fate. But you won't attack me, huh." Luful commented as he turned his attention towards Vanessa and saw the red cat standing in front of her.
"And simply using that ability uses quite a bit of your Mana, right?" Luful commented again as he notice the slight strained expression on Vanessa's face.
Luful began to move about the place again, doing more damage.
"Elf Magic that's loved by Mana, versus human magic….I wonder which will last longer!?" Luful exclaimed before starting to attack.
After a minute or so, a vast majority of the surrounding buildings are completely destroyed.
"That was disappointing than I expected." Luful said as he held Magna by the throat.
"The humans of the Clover Kingdom will perish! This is the retribution-the fate that the elves will exact!" Luful exclaimed, a smile being present on his face.
"...sh….ut….up...I don't know if you're an elf or whatever….you're not wanted around here. My opponent's that idiot…! Hurry up and get outta him, you bastard!" Magna said in a pained tone of voice.
"Y….yeah. You're troublesome...he may be a mischievous brat, but….he's like a little brother to me! Give him back!" Vanessa said, also in a pained tone of voice.
"Even though humans are quick to betray one another….you're saying you also formed bonds….?" Luful questioned before starting to laugh loudly.
"Don't make me laugh! No matter what you do, your pathetic relationship won't be able to defeat this reincarnation magic! This human soul is already disappearing!" Luful exclaimed, still laughing.
"Is...that so….Then why are you crying?" Magna questioned as he saw that tears are coming out of Luful's right eye.
"Showing me….something outta character….You're still in there, Luck! While you were having fun, I was doing intense training and got crazy powerful! It was frustrating! So open your goddamn eyes already and fight me!" Magna roared into Luful's face.
The elf-possessed Luck attempted to speak, but was cut off by Vanessa.
"Luck! There's no chance that you would willingly cut ties with us! We will definitely set you free! So hurry up and come back already!" Vanessa shouted in a desperate tone of voice.
"...Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up, you human!" Luful shouted as he created a spear of lightening in his free hand and throw it straight towards Magnga's face.
"Luck!" Vanessa shouted before closing her eyes, fearing the worst.
However, before the spear of lighting could struck the Black Bull fire Mage's face, a green bladed sword got it's way.
"Hu-Gah!" Luful began to say in a confused tone of voice before getting kicked in the stomach, making him drop Magna in the process.
"Ohf!" Magna exclaimed as he hit the ground. Vanessa slowly opened her eyes before they widened when she saw who blocked Luful's attack.
"Rin?!" Vanessa exclaimed in a shock tone of voice before slowly starting to become relieved.
"Where the hell did you came from?!" Magna shouted as he looked up at the wielder of Hayate.
"I think it was that cat of yours, Vanessa-chan." Rin responded as she glance over her shoulder to look at Vanessa.
"Rouge….?" Vanessa muttered before looking around and saw that the thread-made cat has disappeared.
"She must have used the remaining Mana that she possess to summon a fate that we received help." The Black Bull thread Mage thought in an awe tone of voice.
"But it was completely unexpected." Rin commented, gaining a slight annoyed expression on her face.
Flashback (Start)
"That's some lighting show just now." Zora commented as he and the rest of the passengers of the mercury-made eagle.
"Is this one our drop-off points." Tetsuo asked, glancing towards Nozel.
"….." The captain of the Silver Eagle became quiet, deciding on who to send, whilst being slightly annoyed at the fact that an intense battle is happening nowhere near the Royal Capital.
"Hm?" Rin became confuse as she could have sworn she saw something small heading towards her.
Her suspicion was proven when she was somehow got pulled off the mercury-made eagle.
"AAAA!" Rin exclaimed as she got pulled towards the town where the lighting is coming from.
"….." The others become silent as they attempted to process what just happened.
"….I think someone made your decision for you." En commented, him having a good idea that the captain of the Silver Eagles was thinking.
"What the hell just happened?!" Rin exclaimed in her head as "flew" through the air.
The wielder of Hayate glanced over her shoulder to where she's heading.
"At least I'm heading to town that's getting attacked….hm?" Rin thought before seeing Luful holding Magna by the throat.
"So they managed to get ahead of us." Rin thought before getting Hayate at the ready.
Flashback (End)
"That was completely out of the blue! Give a warning next time!" Rin exclaimed in annoyed tone of voice.
"But it wasn't me though….and don't you know Ki reading like Captain Yami?" Vanessa thought, becoming slightly depressed before becoming confuse.
"That sword….you're the current Kenzan, right?" Luful commented as he recognized the green-bladed sword.
"That's right. I'm hoping that you're ready for round two between us." Rin responded as she took out the "Sarutobi Nijaden" Wonder-Ride book and placed it within the slot on Hayate.
"Henshin!" Rin said before splitting the two blades of Hayate apart.
Sarutobi Ninjaden!
Split the twin blades!
First tactic! Shuriken!
Second tactic! Twin bladed way! Hayate! The sword of Zephyes!
Hayate announced with Rin transforming into Kamen Rider Kenzan.
"Between us? So you fought the human that this body use to belong to?" Luful questioned, tilting his head to the side.
"That's right! And I hope that you're ready for a beat down." Kenzan responded as she got into a battle stance.
"I like to see you try!" Luful shouted as he lunged towards the swords-woman of the winds.
Kenzan dived to the side to avoid getting hit by the clawed swipe from Luful's hand.
"Wind Magic: Wind Ninja's Arial Slash!" Kenzan announced as she swing the twin blades of Hayate, releasing two air slashes.
However, Luful saw the attack coming as he glanced over his should and dodge the attack, seemingly disappearing with his speed.
"He's fast!" Kenzan exclaimed in her head just before sensing a presence behind her.
"Wind Magic: Wind Ninja's substitute!" Kenzan announced whilst starting to move, creating a statue-like version of her which took the hit from Luful's lighting-made spear.
"You have some quick reaction timing. But how long can you last?" Luful questioned before lunging towards the swords-woman of the winds.
Upon instinct, Kenzan activated Mana-Skin around her legs and jumped into the air, avoiding the thrust from the elf-possessed Luck's lighting-made spear.
"Wind Magic: Wind Ninja's Sky Walk." Kenzan announced, creating a series of solid air-made platforms within the air that she started to bounce off them.
"What is she planning?" Luful questioned as he observe Kenzan's movements.
"Wind Magic: Wind Ninja's Clones." Kenzan announced, making four more Kenzans appear.
"And now Wind Magic: Air Force!" All five Kenzans announced, summoning gusts of winds, aimed at Luful.
Unfortunately, the elf-possessed Luck managed to dodge the attacks before raising his arms and lunched lighting-made spheres at the five Kenzans.
"Gah!" The real Kenzan exclaimed as she got struck by one of the lighting-made spheres, sending her crashing towards the ground.
"Owch….that spell...is more powerful than Luck's…" Kenzan muttered as she slowly got back onto her feet.
However, before the swords-woman of the winds could have a proper breather, Luful is on the attack, attacking with his lighting-made spear.
Kenzan deflected the attempted attack of Luful's lighting-made spear with one of Hayate's blades before countering with the other.
Luful's managed to block the sword attack with one of his gauntlet-clad arms.
"Why isn't she getting electrocuted…..I see. Kenzan must be cloaking herself in Mana-Skin." Luful thought, gaining a small frown on his face before hoping back slightly and shooting a lighting-made sphere at Kenzan.
Luckily, the swords-woman of the winds managed to block the attacking by crossing the twin blades of Hayate in an X shape.
However, Luful suddenly appeared in front of Kenzan and launched a series of attacks with his lighting-made spear.
"Hahaha! How long can you last defending yourself against my attacks?!" Luful questioned as he continued his assault.
"A-actually, your pretty much easy to read….since you're completely showing your rage." Kenzan responded before managing to shove Luful away from her.
"Rage? That's right, my rage is something that none of you humans can never hope to understand! Now die by your friend's body!" Luful shouted before preparing to fire more lighting-made spheres.
However, before the elf-possessed Luck could properly cast the spell, multiple fireballs flew towards him which exploded whilst still midair.
"Don't forget about us!" Magna shouted as smoke started to raise into the air. Using her thread magic, Vanessa threw some of the rubble at the smoke.
"So annoying." Luful thought as he moved out of the way of the flying rubble. However, it was then that the elf-possessed Luck realized something.
"Where's Kenzan?" Luful thought as he saw that the swords-woman of the winds has seemingly disappeared.
"No matter, I can simply-Ohf!" Luful began to thought but was interrupted as he was struck from behind.
"What the?!" Luful exclaimed, becoming shock and as he turned around but saw nothing.
"Hehehehe. How well can you fight if you can't see your opponent?" Kenzan questioned as she briefly appeared before disappearing again.
"She altered her armor?!" Luful thought, noticing how the center section of Kenzan's armor has changed.
The elf-possessed Luck was suddenly struck by a camouflaged blade.
"She's not completely invisible, I can still see her movements if I concentrate." Luful thought again as he saw some sort of movement as he swing his lighting-made spear, attempting to strike the swords-woman of the winds.
However, his attack only hit thin air. Luful narrowed his eyes as he attempt to see any sort of movements and after a few seconds, he spotted something like movement heading straight towards him.
The elf-possessed Luck got into a defensive stance just to block the sword attack from Hayate.
"Tch." A voice is head just as Kenzan moved back and undid her camouflage.
"What? Tired of attacking me whilst camouflaged?" Luful questioned with a smirk on his face.
"Heh. Not at all." Kenzan responded with a smirk underneath her helmet.
"Hey, Kenzan. I have an idea on how you can land a solid hit on this guy." Magna said in a low tone of voice.
"Really?" The Swords-woman of the winds asked, glancing over her shoulder to look at the Black Bull fire Mage.
"Yep." Magna responded as he ignited a fireball within his hands.
"Whatever you're planning, it won't help you in the slightest!" Luful shouted as he lunged forwards just as Kenzan did the same.
As the two charged towards each other, Magna threw the fireball which split into multiple fireballs which struck the area between Kenzan and Luful, making smoke raise into the air.
"So their trying to obscure my vision to make it more difficult to sense Kenzan's movements? What a waste of the little Mana they have. I can simply detect the swords-woman of the winds by spreading out my Mana." Luful thought as he started to release his Mana.
"There you are! This is the moment where you die!" Luful shouted before swinging a clawed gauntlet.
However, the elf-possessed Luck only hit thin air.
"What?! How did I missed…..?" Luful thought before noticing something thin stuck within the air.
"Is that….the female human's string? She must have stopped Kenzan's movements so that I will misjudged my attack!" Luful thought in realization.
"Wind Magic: Slyph's Soul Burst!" Kenzan's voice rang through the smoke and Luful's eyes widened as he got struck by a two power gusts of air, knocking him back.
"Gah!" Luful exclaimed as he hit is head on the ground.
"Is…..it over…?" Magna asked, relaxing his stance slightly as the smoke started to disappear and saw the knocked out Luful.
"It would seems so…." Vanessa responded before releasing a breath of relief.
"What is happening? How did Luck got possessed by by some elf spirit?" Magna asked as Kenzan approached the two Black Bull Magic Knights whilst making her armour disappear.
"Well, practically the Royal Knight's mission of raiding the Eye Of The Midnight Sun's stronghold has failed when may of us got possessed by the souls of deceased elves and started their revenge against the humans. A lot of people around the Clover Kingdom are mostly being possessed as well." Rin explained, making Magna and Vanessa widened their eyes.
It was then that the Black Bull thread Mage gained a frown on her face.
"The magic that caused the people to become possessed by the elf spirits is called reincarnation magic, a forbidding magic which requires a lot of Mana to reincarnate even a single soul. That's most likely why the Eye Of The Midnight have been collecting the Magic Stones, in order to gained a huge amount of Mana to pull off a large scale reincarnation." Vanessa explained, causing Rin to start remembering the conversation that she and Vanessa, plus the others, had with the Witch Queen.
"So the aim of the Eye Of The Midnight's aim is too bring back the extinct Elf tribe?" Magna asked, him knowing the story of the elves.
"Yes. The Witch Queen did mentioned that some of the members of the Eye Of The Midnight Sun could be descendants of the elf tribe, explaining their motive for pulling out this plan in the first place…." Vanessa explained just before a thought appeared in her head.
"Are there members of the elf tribe already reincarnated?" Vanessa thought, starting to remember how Fana is said to have died at some point in the past.
"Are there any side effects to this reincarnation magic?" Magna asked, starting to become slightly concerned.
"Those who have revived through reincarnation magic will face a rise of negative emotions, which explains the intensity of that elf's anger." Vanessa explained as she glanced towards the still knocked out Luful.
"I was told that once we have deal with any threats caused by the elves, we need to head to the capital. That where we should be heading now." Rin explained before starting to wonder where the she can find a broom.
"We have to head back to base first! We need to make sure if the others are okay." Vanessa interjected, making Magna nod his head.
"….." Rin stared at the two Black Bull Magic Knights for a few seconds before nodding her head.
"Where the heck is our base!?" Magna exclaimed in a shock tone of voice as he, Vanessa and Rin stood in a clearing, them having managed to gain brooms and flew quickly through air until arriving at a wide clearing, bring the still knocked out Luful with them.
"I promise that this is where out base should be!" Vanessa said to Rin, making it clear that she and Magna were telling the truth about the location of the base.
"Well...something was here before disappearing…." Rin commented as she studied the ground and spotted large markings on the ground.
"Did the Eye Of The Midnight Sun decided to steal our base!?" Magna exclaimed, becoming angry.
"Or our resident ghost." Vanessa said in a calm tone of voice, yet still feeling on nerve about the disappearance of the Black Bull's base.
"Ghost?" Rin asked, giving the Black Bull thread Mage a questioning look.
"Yeah. That has been rumours of a ghost walking around our base who is the cause of changing the layout." Vanessa explained, making Rin nod her head slightly.
"Then why would they decided to make the entire base disappear?" Magna asked, causing Vanessa to shrug her shoulders.
It was then that the three of them felt a Mana approaching from behind them.
"C-Charmy!" Vanessa said as she, Magna and Rin turned around and saw the Black Bull cotton Mage coming out the trees that surround the clearing.
"Unforgivable…..Unforgivable…." Charmy muttered, causing the other three to become confuse before their eyes widened in shock when the saw a red mark on one of her cheeks.
"She possessed!" Vanessa, Magna and Rin exclaimed in their heads starting to become tense.
"Who stole my secret veggie garden?!" Charmy shouted in angry tone of voice.
"So she's isn't possessed…." The other three thought, becoming relaxed.
"Was it one of you?!" Charmy said as she turned her attention towards Vanessa, Magna and Rin.
"No we didn't." Vanessa responded.
"Then who did?!" Charmy asked, still angry as she licked the mark on her cheek, revealing to be some sort of sauce.
"We….don't know…." Rin responded with a sheepish smile on her face.
"Then lets find the Black Bull's base then!" Charmy exclaimed as she threw an arm into the air.
"How?" Magna asked, causing a frown to appear on Charmy's face.
It was then that Rin spotted more large marks on the ground.
"It seems that whoever took your base went that way." Rin said pointing out the marks towards the other.
"Then lets go after them!" Charmy said, making Vanessa, Magna and Rin nod their heads.
"O-ow….." Fiona muttered as half of her body lay half in rumble that use to be apart of the common room of the Black Bull Headquarters.
To explain what happened, when the reincarnation magic happened, Gauche's appearance changed.
As this cause everyone else to become stunned, Gauche(?) took the opportunity to attack them, launching powerful beams of light all around the room, destroying it in the process.
"Is….everyone okay….?" Fiona thought in a pained tone of voice before slowly dragging herself out of the rubble.
"Are you uninjured, Fiona?" A voice suddenly asked, causing the Sword Of Logos's maid to jump in surprise before turning around to see Gordon staring at her.
"Y-yes." I'm okay." Fiona responded in a shaky tone of voice.
"Are the others okay?" Fiona asked as she glanced around, seeing if the others have managed to survive.
A small groaned answered her question as Fiona turned towards the source of the groan to see Grey slowly getting herself.
"Erhh. What happened?" Grey asked before glancing around to see the destroyed common room.
"Ghaaaaa! W-w-what happened?!" Grey exclaimed, becoming frightened.
"You don't remember?" Gorden asked, starting to think that some of the stonework may have hit Grey on the head.
This cause the Black Bull transformation Mage to blink her eyes a few times before they widened.
"Yes! Gauche's appearance changed and then….he attacked us…." Grey responded, saying the last part in a depressed tone of voice.
"What happened to him though and why did he attacked us?" Fiona thought, gaining a frown on her face.
It was that a large rubble of stones suddenly "exploded".
"Fweh!" That was a close call!" Ryo shouted as his Grimoire hover beside him.
The suddenness of Ryo's appearance caused Fiona, Gordon and Grey to jump in fright whilst the Black Bull transformation Mage shouted in fright.
"Oh? Glad to see that you managed to survive." Ryo said as he turned his head towards them.
"Yes. But where's Captain Sophia?" Fiona asked, starting to become worried as she glance around the destroyed room.
"I'm here." A voice suddenly responded, causing the Sword Of Logos's maid to turn her head towards the source of the voice to see Sophia roughly in the same spot where Ryo is.
"Vice-Captain Ogami must have used his magic to protect him and Captain Sophia." Fiona thought, noting the hovering Grimoire of the wilder of Gekido.
"Where are Rintaro and Henry?" Sophia asked, glancing around.
"IIIIIIIIII ammmmmmmm heeeeerrrreeeee." A slow voice responded, making everyone turned their heads towards the source of the voice to see Henry within his partially destroyed box.
"No signs of Rintaro though." Ryo commented as he glanced around, seeing the large number of rubble covering the floor.
"Henry, can you fix this place with your magic?" Sophia asked, starting to become worried about Rintaro's safety.
"Yessssssss." Henry responded just before his Grimoire, which has a picture of house on it, started to float beside him and opened.
Everyone watched as the room started to fix itself.
"The he is." Gordon said, spotting the wielder of Nagare close by, laying on the ground.
This caused everyone, apart from Henry, to rush towards Rintaro.
"Rintaro. Can you hear me?" Sophia asked as she crouched down and gently shook Rintaro and after a few seconds, a groan is heard.
This cause everyone to sigh in relief just as Rintaro's flickered opened.
"Erh…..what happened…..?" Rintaro asked as he slowly sat up.
"For some reason, Gauche decided to attack us along with his appearance changing." Ryo responded, making Rintaro widened his eyes as he started to remember.
"Right. Just what is happening right now?" Rintaro questioned, causing everyone else to glance at each other.
"Do you have a map close by?" Sophia asked, focusing her attention towards Gordon and Grey.
"Y-yes." The Black Bull transformation Mage responded as she walked towards a series of draws and took out a rolled up piece of paper.
"….According to the map, we are close to the town of Hecairo." Sophia said as she and the other, minus Henry, studied the map of a table.
"But we should be focusing on heading to the capital, that's where the endgame is supposed to happen, right?" Rintaro pointed out, making Sophia nod her head slightly.
"Whilst that is true. However, there could be others like Gauche whose personality have changed and are likely attacking people. As Magic Knights, it's our duty to protect the Clover Kingdom." Sophia explained, making mostly everyone nod their heads.
"Erh! Can't we just go straight to the capital?! I just want this whole thing over with!" Grey exclaimed, becoming slightly scared.
"Don't worry. We get to the capital soon enough." Sophia said in a reassuring tone of voice, causing Grey to nod her head this time.
"Fufu. What a shame, it seemed like a nice settlement too." A possessed Blue Rose Magic Knight(?) commented as she, an elf-possessed Xerx and a Coral Peacock Magic Knight(?) stood amongst a destroyed Hecairo.
"Not even a shadow of it will remain." Xerx(?) commented in a cold tone of voice as one of his arms are raised.
"We should finish up here…" The Coral Peacock Magic Knight(?) pointed out as he and the other two elf-possessed Magic Knights(?) are currently facing three regular Magic Knights who are currently in a bad shape.
"It's...no use…! They're too strong!" A second Purple Orca Magic Knight said as his entire body shook with pain.
"Saint of pure ice...why?" A second Blue Rose Magic Knights asked in a tone of disbelief.
"I-is this the end….of the C-clover Kingdom!?" A second Coral Peacock Magic Knight exclaimed, fear starting to creep into his body.
"I will purge you all….you fifthly humans." Xerx(?) said as he prepared to fire a spell.
However, Xerx(?) stopped when he heard something.
"Something is heading this way….what is that?" Xerx(?) said, becoming confuse as he saw a dark shape quickly approaching Hecairo.
"Newcomers, eh? Hah! They hardly add value to the human resistance." The elf-possessed Coral Peacock Magic Knight commented before slamming his hands onto the ground.
"Earth Magic: Ground Wall!" The elf-possessed Coral Peacock Magic Knight exclaimed as he created a large wall.
"You shall not pass!" The elf-possessed Coral Peacock Magic Knight shouted in a confident tone of voice.
However, the approaching object easily broke through the earth-made wall.
"What?!" The elf-possessed Coral Peacock Magic Knight exclaimed in a shock tone of voice.
"Recombination Magic: Raging Black Bull: Battle Style." Henry thought in his head as the base took on a humanoid-form and immediately throw a fist towards the three elf-possessed Magic Knights.
However, all three of them managed to jump out of the way.
"What is that?!" The elf-possessed Coral Magic Knight exclaimed as he landed on the ground.
However, the people within the moving Black Bull base have their attention focused on another matter as large pieces of rocks, which got flung into the air when the Black Bull base punched the ground, began to fall onto the citizens.
Luckily, before the large pieces of rock can cause any damage to the already injured citizens of Hecairo, multiple golden portals appeared, making the rocks fall through them instead.
"E-e-everyone! P-p-p-please f-f-find s-s-shelter!" Grey said as she released the citizens that got trapped by the elves's magic.
"We're….saved….!" One of the freed citizens muttered in a relieved tone of voice.
"That robe….the Black Bulls?! Another freed citizen exclaimed in a disbelieved tone of voice as he notice the robes of the Black Bulls around Grey's shoulder.
"Don't get carried away, you humans." The elf-possessed Blue Rose Magic Knight commented in a series tone of voice.
"I'll destroy that piece of trash!" The elf-possessed Coral Peacock Magic Knight said as he prepare to cast a spell.
"Earth Magic: Rising Ground/Water Magic: Surging Waves!" The elf-possessed Coral Peacock and the elf-possessed Blue Rose Magic Knight announced at the same time, one causing an earthquake whilst the cause a tidal wave to appear, both heading towards the Black Bull base which is standing in the centre.
However, the Black Bull base quickly dissembled itself, dodging the two attacks.
"What?!" Xerx(?) exclaimed in a shock tone of voice as the broken pieces of the Black Bull Base came back together.
Cannons suddenly appeared out of the Black Bull base's shoulders chest, where a blast of water headed towards the elf-possessed Coral Peacock, a shell-shaped rocks shot at the elf-possessed Blue Rose Magic and poison came out of the center cannon.
The citizens of Hecairo began to cheer as the three attacks strike their targets.
"Is it over?" Sophia asked as she peered through a window, attempting to see through the smoke that is raising into the air from the three places.
"Hang on a minute." Fiona said as she place a pair of binoculars, that she giving by the Black Bull Magic Knights and looked at the three places where the three elf-possessed Magic Knights are seen last.
When the smoke cleared, she saw that all three elf-possessed Magic Knights are knocked unconscious.
"Yes. They are down." Fiona said in a relieved tone of voice.
This cause Sophia and Henry to sigh in relief.
"I'm guessing from your reactions is that we've won." Ryo commented as he, Rintaro and Gordon came back into the room.
"Yes. After we made sure that the town of Hecairo is secured, we continue on our way to the capital." Sophia explained, making the wielder of Gekido nod his head.
"I just hope that we be in good shape when we get there." Rintaro commented as he felt how low his Mana is getting.
"Hmmm. That is a good point…." Sophia said, starting to gain a small frown on her face.
It was then that everyone felt new sources of Mana approaching them.
"More enemies?!" Everyone thought in their heads, starting to become tense.
"Where…...is…..my…...secret….garden!?" A voice suddenly shouted as someone burst into the room through an open window.
Everyone spun around with Grimoires at the ready.
"Charmy?!" Fiona exclaimed in a shock tone of voice before seeing more people appearing at the window.
"What's up?" Rin asked with a grin on her face.
"Rin. Thank goodness that you aren't possessed." Sophia said in a relieved tone of voice.
"What the heck is happening?! Why is our base moving about!?" Magna demanded as he climbed through the window.
The Black Bull fire Mage then notice Henry.
"Who the hell are you and why are you wearing the Black Bull robes?" Magna asked as he approached Henry.
"Hellooooooooo Maggggnaaaaa. Myyyyyyy na/his name is Henry. He's the one responsible for changing the layout of our base all the time." Gordon introduce Henry in his place.
"Really?" Magna asked, all of the aggressiveness disappearing.
"So this the rumored ghost…...why is he in a box?" Vanessa asked, becoming confused.
"He has a passive condition that cause him to absorb the Mana out of people. He's been bedridden for a while and it was only recently that he's managed to start moving again." Gordon explained, causing Vanessa to blink her eyes slightly before nodding her head slightly.
"V-V-Vanessa! Why are you in your underwear?!" Rintaro exclaimed in a shock tone of voice whilst starting to blush.
True to his words, the Black Bull thread Mage is wearing very little.
"What? Don't you like it?" Vanessa asked whilst giving the wielder of Nagare a wink.
This just caused Rintaro to turn his head to the side.
"Hm? So Luck got possessed." Ryo commented as he spotted the elf-possessed Luck, tied up with Vanessa's thread.
"Yeah. Me and Vanessa had a difficult time fighting him before Rin jumped in to help us." Magna said whilst the joyous expression disappeared from Vanessa's face.
"You mean I got dragged into the fight due to Vanessa's red cat." Rin said with a small frown on her face as she glare at the Back Bull thread Mage.
This cause Vanessa to gain a sheepish smile on her face.
"So what happened with the Royal Knights?" Sophia asked as she and everyone else turned towards the wielder of Hayate.
"Out the Royal Knights, me, Noelle-chan, Mr Daishinji Mimosa-chan, Yuno, Captain Nozel, Captain Mereoleone, Kirsch Vermillion, a Green Mantis Royal Knight and a Black Bull Royal Knight are the only ones that didn't become possessed by elves. We decided to escape before we become overcome by those who have become possessed." Rin explained, making Sophia nod her head.
"Hang on….you didn't mention Asta's name….." Rintaro said before starting to gain a bad feeling.
"Asta-kun…." Rin began to say before trailing off, knowing that she doesn't need to finish he sentence.
"So at some point we have to fight Asta…." Rintaro said whilst clenching his fists, not really a fan of the idea.
"Gauche is amongst those got possessed." Gordon said, causing Vanessa to widen her eyes whilst Magna clenched his fists whilst growling slightly.
"After we escape from the Eye Of The Midnight's Sun's stronghold, we ran into Donna-chan who was at Hage village…..who was attacked by an elf-possessed Magic Knight." Rin said, causing everyone to widen their eyes at the last part.
"Is everyone at the village okay!?" Fiona asked, starting to become worried.
"According to Donna-chan, everyone is safe." Rin responded in a reassuring tone of voice.
"Thank goodness that I decided to gave Donna the day off." Sophia thought in relief, not wanting to think about what would have happened if the wielder of Ikazuchi was still on Magic Knight duties.
"Did anything interesting happened whilst I was away?" Rin asked, becoming curious.
"….We got attacked, by Rades, Valtos, Sally and Calibur who have gained a new form known as Jaou Dragon, powered by Demonic Mana." Ryo responded, causing the newly arrived to widen their eyes.
"S-seriously?! Demonic Mana?!" Vanessa exclaimed, causing Ryo to nod his head.
"When it looked like that they seemed to be overwhelmed, I decided to call for back up, that's why we're with these three, but they managed to gain their hands on the Magic Stones that was in our possession." Fiona explained, saying the last part in a slight depressed tone of voice.
"So that's how the Eye Of The Midnight Sun managed to cast the Reincarnation spell…" Vanessa thought before starting to become worried about those who were protecting the other Magic Stone that they gained from the Seabed Temple.
"Did Captain Nozel talked about any sort of plans?" Sophia asked, becoming serious.
"Yes, he said that we're heading towards the Royal Capital because that's where it seemed the Elves are holding their endgame." Rin explained, causing Ryo to snort slightly.
"Funny enough, that's where we're heading as well." Ryo said, causing the newly arrived Magic Knights to blink their eyes.
"Really?" Magna asked, causing everyone to nod their heads.
"Noooooooo! My secret garden!" The voice of Charmy can be heard, from somewhere in the base.
Back at the Demon Skull, "Litch's" eyes blink open.
"….I must have dozed off…." "Litch" muttered as he placed a hand over his face.
"That means my imperfect resurrection is now complete." "Licht" thought before taking out a three-leave Clover Grimoire.
"Thank you, my only human friend….Farewell William." "Litch said as he placed William's Grimoire against the stone monument of the tree of life.
"With this. There is no longer any human who can kill me." "Licht" thought as he began to walk out from under the Demon Skull.
"Licht should be headed to the capital with Ryha and the others. I must hurry as well…." "Licht" thought before looking in the distance.
"Clover castle. There lies the heart of such petty discrimination, the very residence of he accursed Royal Family. The final destination of our revenge!" "Licht" said before suddenly flying in the direction of the Royal Capital.
Silence filled the air for a few seconds before Rades's Grimoire started to glow and the corpse controlling Mage's eye blinked open.
"GHHHHHHHHHAAAAAA!" Rades exclaimed in an angry tone of voice.
"Licht! How dare you! Fool me! Fool us! Use me! Kill me! You will pay!" Rades exclaimed as he spotted Licht's flying form.
"You two. Luck is on our side….you two just made it. Let's go and kill that bastard together!" Rades said as he resurrected the once dead Valtos and Sally with his newly evolved magic, true soul corpse magic.
"How are we going to manage this?" Rintaro asked as he looked at the three knocked out elf-possessed Magic Knight, tied up with Vanessa's thread.
Right now, all of the Magic Knights, minus Henry but plus Fiona are outside of the Black Bull base.
"If you are talking about keeping a close eye on them, then yes, that is a problem. One we can managing but four?" Vanessa, now fully clothed, commented with a thoughtful expression on her face on her face.
"Just keep hitting them when they began to stir?" Magna suggested as he held up a fire-made bat.
"M-M-Magna! D-Do you t-think that a g-g-good idea?!" Gerey exclaimed in a shock tone of voice.
"I was just offering an idea." Magna said as he lowered his fire-made bat.
"I'm in." Rin said as she raise Hayate.
"Rin. Don't get influenced by them." Sophia said in a stern tone of voice.
"Aww." Rin said as her shoulders drooped.
From behind Sophia, Ryo is slowly sheathing Gekido back into his Grimoire.
"S-So what now?" Grey asked, having released all the trapped citizens.
"Once we finished making sure that Hecairo is secured, we continue on our way towards the capital." Sophia responded, making the Black Bull transformation Mage to nod her head slightly.
It was at that moment that a black portal appeared, causing the Magic Knights to become confuse before Sophia, Ryo and Rintaro became tense when they saw who came walking out of the portal.
"What are you three doing here?!" Ryo asked as he drew Gekido from his Grimoire and pointed at Rades, Valtos and Sally, with Sophia and Rintaro doing the same with their swords.
"Hm? Do you know these guys?" Rin asked, yet becoming on guard as she sensed the tense atmosphere that just appeared.
"Those three attacked our base along with Calibur." Rintaro explained, causing Rin, Vanessa, and Magna to become wide eyes.
"What are you three doing here?" Sophia asked just as Rin, Vanessa and Magna got into a battle stance.
"What we want? We want you to help us get our revenge." Rades said with an evil grin on his face.
However, this just caused confusion to appear on the Magic Knight's faces, mainly Sophia's, Rintaro's, Ryo's and Grey's.
"Haven't you forgotten that you three, plus Calibur, attacked our base to claim the Magic Stone that was in our possession?" Rintaro pointed out whilst still having a strong grip on Nagare.
"Yeah, we haven't forgotten! But…..right now…..my main aim is to kill that bastard Licht." Rades said, an angry expression on his face.
"You...want to kill your leader?" Sophia asked, making sure that she heard correctly.
"Yes! He used us! Killed us to accomplished his own goals! If it wasn't for my magic evolving, we would still be dead!" Rades shouted in response.
"So Licht used you three, and probably others, as sacrifices to as part of the reincarnation magic." Vanessa said as she crossed her arms.
"Reincarnation magic? But….the Eye Of The Midnight Sun's goal was to achieve our true forms which have close ties to Mana." Valtos said in a confused tone of voice.
"That's probably a cover up story for the vast majority of the followers of the Eye Of The Midnight Sun. your "master's" true aim is to bring back the deceased elf race." Vanessa explained, causing Valtos to drop his head to the ground.
"If you use some of Sally's black Magic Items, then we can move that thing through spatial magic." Rades explained, referring to the Black Bull base.
"….." Sophia became silent has a thinking expression appeared on her face.
"You're not serious about taking up on his offer?!" Ryo asked in a shock tone of voice as he look at the captain of the Sword Of Logos.
"We….need all the help we can get, regardless of who they are…." Sophia responded, causing Ryo and the others to gain looks of disbelief on their faces.
"What about you two?" Sophia asked as she turned her attention towards Valtos and Sally.
"I….just want to see Licht once more...and find out the truth for myself. To that end…..I will cooperate with you. If everything Licht every said was a lie...then I am indeed a criminal….a sinner...perhaps it's best that I atone after all…." Valtos explained in an emotionless tone of voice.
"Mmmmmmmmm…..I was just with Licht because he let me experiment all I wanted...and the Magic Knights were in the way of that. Anyway, I'm happy that I'm alive and can research again. After dying once, I was able to realize all kinda things and came to all kind of breakthroughs!" Sally explained whilst having some difficulty in seeing with her glasses.
"That is all thanks to me, Sally!" Rades shouted in annoyed tone of voice.
"Valtos has a good reason of wanting to help us, but Sally? What can we do to help her with her reason?" Sophia thought as she came up with her final decision.
"…..Very well. You can come with us. But we have to wait until you have recovered your Mana." Sophia said as she sensed how low the three former members of the Eye Of The Midnight Sun have low Mana.
"Did someone said "low on Mana"?" A voice asked just as Charmy appeared with a plate of food in her hands.
"I said that but…" Sophia began to say as she started to become confuse.
"Eat! Eat! Eat!" Charmy exclaimed as she shoves plates of food in everyone's hands.
With this being the 100th chapter, I've decided to make it much longer than normal.
Within the chapter:
1) Donna finishing her battle against the elf-possessed Purple Orca Magic Knight before regrouping with the others...along with attacking Yuno.
2) Magna and Vanssa fought Luful before receiving aid from Rin.
3) The remaining Sword of Logos Magic Knights and Black Bull Magic Knight protected the town of Hecairo before regrouping with Rin, Vanessa, Magna and Charmy with a still knocked out Luful and then encountering Rades, Valtos and Sally.
Since (a) Asta is possessed and (b) he doesn't have the Demon Destroyer sword, he can't reversed the reincarnation Luck and the other elf-possessed Magic Knights, I just have to write that the Magic Knights will need to keep on hitting them to remain unconscious.
Within the Manga of Black Clover, it focus on the battle between five members of the Ryuzen Seven and the five-headed dragon, plus a montivation speach from Ryudo. I'm kind of disappointed how easy they managed to deal a lot of damage to the dragon, despite being the most power Mages in Hino. However, we do get to see their yojutsu, snow yojutsu, earth yojutsu, wind yojutsu and lighting yojutsu. Since one of them possess earth yojutsu, do you think that he possess the earth spirit? A new trailer for the Black Clover movie has been shown along with revealing that the three new characters are in fact previous Wizard Kings/Queens with the red hair female being called Princia Funnybunny being the 11th Wizard Queen, Jester being the 16th and the elder man's name is Edward Avalache with him being the 20th Wizard King.
Within Kamen Rider Geats:
1: Girori and Tsumuri are observing the recently eliminated Ace, yet Tsumuri is still troubled how the Game Master had a hand with Geat's elimination.
2: The final boss has appeared and starting to attack the city, starting the last mission, battleship.
3: As the three participants began fighting the Jamato, Nago starts to have doubts about being able to save people, commenting they always have Ace by their side.
4) Girori and Tsumuri watch the Kamen Riders fight with Girori commenting how Baffa is the most likely candidate of becoming the new God of Desire.
5) Baffa started to fight, using the "Fever" Raise Buckle to gain the powers of the "Propeller" Raise Buckle, before Ace arrived, him being in the middle of a photo-shooting before the Jamato attacked.
6) Baffa got critically injured by the final boss, undoing his transformation, and then getting lectured by Ace with Michinaga commenting that even with his memories being erased, Ace is still the same before getting eliminated.
7) Ace, now possessing Baffa's Desire Driver, Tycoon and Nago then retreated to the Desire Hall where they are greeted by a disgruntled Girori about Ace's presence.
8) Tycoon starts to have doubts has he commented how the Jamatos are speaking phrases that previous participants spoke, causing Girori to hand over the "Boost" Raise Buckle ro him.
9) Tsumuri hands a new Desire Driver to Ace, pointing out that one of Ace's previous Desires is to "participant in every GDP until he dies".
10) Ace then revealed that he'd made a plan just in case he did got retired from a mission by writing messages for his memory-lost self before going out and fight the Jamato, using the "Boost", "Magnum", "Zombie" and "Jet and Cannon" Raise Buckles whilst Neon and Kiewa want answers from Girori.
11) Geats destroyed the final boss, being observed by Niram who seems happy about his victory, but discovered that the game hasn't been cleared yet. Back at the Desire Hall, Girori invited Nago and Keiwa for another chance of becoming the next God of Desire.
The rule for this episode is that without the Game Master's consent, the game cannot be finished, I suppose that makes sense since the Game Master, or other members of the DGP will need to sort out rewriting reality when the final boss is defeated. So Baffa has been eliminated, but there is a good chance that he may be coming back, or at least just as Michinaga, since Kiewa's wish is to return everyone who have been victims of the Jamato.
Please review and until next time with a merry Christmas.
Dragon Rider 66:
1) Yep, the remaining Royal Knights/Magic Knight are slowing building towards that, they just need to make sure that nobody attack Yuno by mistake.
2) The series is certainly showing that the DGP isn't as small as it would seem. Its cool that Kiewa is growing as a Rider along with making a mission where Ace lost rather than winning that he usually does. Since Niram has a liking towards Ace, it could be that he becomes Ace's secret backer, granting him powerful Raise Buckles such as the final form Raise Buckles, to annoy Girori. Kamen Rider Glare will certainly become a problem for Ace as he can force the other participants into fighting him and the possibility of him being able to use a Raise Buckle...that certainly be trouble some.
3) It has been revealed that the three new characters are in fact previous Wizard Kings/Queen. What's up with Princia's surname? If there is going to be any comical moments during the film, then the gang hearing the name "FunnyBunny" would cause to burst out laughing or something. Since Jester shares the same facial expression as Langris, it could be that he wields spatial magic. With Edward's name being "Avalache", it can be presumed that he wield snow magic.
4) We just have to wait until the final mission of the series where the Riders fight the final boss, who will likely be joined by multiple waves of high-evolved Jamato-themed Kamen Riders. Ace becoming the new Game Master, that could happen since his current wish is to become a member of the GDP staff.
5) If Brave Dragon does get summoned, then it will have a look of complete confusion on its face when he sees Saber/Floges attacking the Clover Kingdom...before searching for Mimosa by himself.
6) I think it will be unlikely that Tycoon will be using the "Magnum" Raise Buckle himself, in the final mission that is.
7) From the looks of things, Kiewa did decided to give Ace the "Magnum" Raise Buckle off screen whilst Ace simply took the "Boost" Raise Buckle. The trailer for the next episode tell us the situation which leads to Tycoon and Geats fighting each other, "Fox Hunt".
8) Yes, just have to wait until the movie comes out.
itpowertime:
1) Yep, here we are, the 100th chapter.
2) You just have to wait and see if the others are able to return Asta to normal...
3) As you can see, just Asta...although Reika and her brother could be possessed by elves as well.
4) I'm not sure about a elf-themed Wonder-Ride book or Alter-Ride book at the moment.
5) The would a interesting plot twist.
6) Maybe...
7) Are you referring to the real Licht, the leader of the elf tribe because of the title of chapter 98?
8) I didn't realized that the voice actor of the 20th Wizard King also voiced Deneb. It would be interesting if the other previous Wizard Kings/Queens were members of the Sword of Logos themselves, or even wield a Holy Sword as well.
Farhan Nugraha:
1) This is going to sound embarring, but where did you post your draft, I can't find it.
2) Merry Christmas to you as well.
