To the Royal Castle
All the way at that the gates to the royal castle, the group of Magic Knights have been tasked with guarding the gates, the Castle Knights, are battling a huge number of elf-possessed Magic Knights.
"Just how powerful are these traitors!?" A Castle Knight who is wearing the robes of the Crimson Lions, since the Castle Knights are made up of Magic Knights from the Crimson Lions and the Silver Eagles, muttered as blood trickle down his forehead.
"It's time for you to die." One of the elf-possessed Magic Knights as they began to cast a spell.
"Is this it? The Clover Kingdom will end by the hands of these traitors? Have they been working with the Eye Of The Midnight the until time?" The Crimson Lion Castle Knight thought as he attempted to stand up and defend himself, but found that he possess very little amount of stamina.
However, it was at that moment that something green blurred past the Crimson Lion Castle Knight and struck the attacking elf-possessed Magic Knight, knocking them to the ground.
"Right! Time to get int-Whoa! That's a lot of Golden Dawn Magic Knights who have been taken over!" Kenzan commented in a surprise tone of voice as she that all of elf-possessed Magic Knights are from the Golden Dawn Magic Knight squad.
Everyone else was also surprised at the Kenzan's sudden presence.
"Hm? You're the Holy Sword wielder of the winds." A elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight commented as they examine the swords-woman of the winds.
"That's correct. But as much I would like to talk, I need to take you all down." Kenzan said as she got into a battle stance.
"All by yourself? Such arrogance." A second elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight commented in a cold tone of voice.
"Don't underestimate me!" Kenzan exclaimed before lunging forwards with the twin blades of Hayate at the ready.
"The Sword Of Logos. Thank god they are on our side." The Crimson Lion Castle Knight thought, he being the many who possess doubt at the presence of the mysterious Magic Knight squad.
"How are you feeling?" A voice asked, causing the Crimson Lion Castle Knight to glance over his shoulder to see Sophia crouching behind him with a golden portal behind her.
"So that's how that swords-woman made a sudden appearance." The Crimson Lion Castle Knight thought before speaking.
"I'm o-okay." The Crimson Lion Castle Knight responded before flinching slightly.
This cause a concern look to appear on Sophia's face.
"Just what on earth is going on?! A huge number of Magic Knights from the Golden Dawn suddenly appeared and started to attack us!" The Crimson Lion Castle Knight explained whilst Sophia glanced up and saw how the present Magic Knights are from the Golden Dawn.
"Well, it isn't just the Golden Dawn Magic Knights that are attacking. All across the kingdom the people are getting attacked by Magic Knights from the other squads." Sophia explained, causing the Crimson Lion Castle Knight's eyes to widen.
"What?! Just how many of the Magic Knights are committing treason?!" The Crimson Lion Castle Knight exclaimed in a shock tone of voice.
"No ones committing treason. The Golden Dawn Magic Knights you see here, along with the numerous other Magic Knights, are possessed by once deceased souls, brought back through reincarnation magic." Sophia explained, making the Crimson Lion Castle Knight become more shock.
"They're possessed?! I guess that explains the change of appearance…" The Crimson Lion Castle Knight muttered, gaining a small frown appearing on his face.
"By the way…." Sophia began to say, causing the Crimson Lion Castle Knight to look up at her, becoming curious.
"You don't mind if me and Kenzan being here since Magic Knights need permission." Sophia explained, a sheepish expression appearing on her face.
This cause the Crimson Lion Castle Knight to snort slightly.
"I don't think that matters right now. We better deal with these possessed Magic Knights quickly, three of them have already broken through." The Crimson Lion Castle Knight explained, causing a concern look to appear on Sophia's face as she glanced towards the destroyed gate.
"The only Magic Knights that could be here and are Noelle's and Captain Nozel's siblings…" Sophia thought whilst trying not to think of any worst scenarios.
With Kenzan, the swordsman of the winds moving fast between the elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knights.
"I have to focus my attention on those three for now. The one way I can possibly way I can lay a dent on that amour is to use my "Sylph Soul Burst" spell." Kenzan thought with a frown underneath her helmet as she glanced towards one of the elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knights that is wearing a massive suit of armour made out of some sort of hard material.
"Keep still so that you can have a quick, yet painful, death!" One of the four elf-possess Golden Dawn Magic Knight as they produce some sort of liquid.
"I thought that it was quick and painless death!" Kenzan exclaimed as she used her "Sky Walk" spell to easily avoid the attack before jumping/running towards the attacking elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight and swing one of the blades of Hayate.
However, before she could finish her attack, Kenzan sensed an attack heading straight towards her, causing the swords-woman of the winds to jump out of the way.
"Thank you." The first elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight said to the second elf-possess Golden Dawn Magic Knight who is producing wind magic.
"Tch. And I almost had them…" Kenzan thought with annoyed expression underneath her helmet.
The first elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight attempted to attack Kenzan again, but was prevented as someone got in front of them and swing a gold-bladed sword.
"Ghe." The first elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight grunted as pain shot through their body.
"Captain Sophia-chan!" Kenzan said in a surprised tone of voice as she watch as the captain of the Sword Of Logos backing away from the elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight that she attack.
"I've evacuated the injured Castle Knights, so there's no risk of endangering them any further." Sophia explained, causing Kenzan to nod her head.
"Joining the battle won't change the outcome for you people." The third elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight commented as the created a crystal-like rock and throw it towards Sophia.
Luckily, the captain of the Sword Of Logos activate her magic, creating a portal which the crystal-like rock went flying through….and hit the owner from behind.
The impact caused them to slam onto the ground.
This cause Sophia to flinch slightly.
"I hope that I didn't damage the body too much…" Sophia thought in a worrying tone of voice before sensing an attacking heading straight towards her.
The captain of the Sword Of Logos jumped out of the way just in time to avoid getting hit by a giant fist.
"Our swords won't be able to cause any damage to that armor." Sophia thought as she landed on the ground whilst the pages of her Grimoire started to turn.
"Spatial Magic: Distortion Wa-!" Sophia began to announce, but was prevented as she almost got hit by the second elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight.
"Hey! Don't you dare interrupt Captain Sophia-chan!" Kenzan exclaimed in an angry tone of voice whilst lunging towards the first elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight.
"A factor we have to consider is how long we can last. Fighting against four people who possess large quantities of Mana will result in spending a lot of our own Mana." Sophia thought as she activate her "Spatial Magic: Barrier" spell to block another fist attack from the four elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight.
With the third elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight, they have slowly stood up and prepare to launch another attack towards Sophia.
"You know….It's rude to attack a lady when she's busy." A voice suddenly spoke, causing the third elf-possessed Golden Magic Knight to widen their eyes before spinning around towards the source of the voice, but ended up getting hit by the hilt of a Katana.
"Gah!" The third elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight grunted as he fell towards the ground again with this time becoming unconscious.
The sound of the impact caused Sophia and the fourth elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic to turn their attention towards the knocked out third elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight lay with Sophia widening her eyes.
"Yami! When did you get here?" Sophia asked, starting to become relived.
"Just now. I would have been here sooner, but I had to fetch someone who has been slacking on the job." Yami explained whilst pointing in a direction, causing Sophia to turn her head and became shock.
"Finral!" Sophia exclaimed in a surprise tone of voice as she stare at the Black Bull spatial Mage.
"Oh! Finral's back!" Kenzan exclaimed in an excited tone of voice, she having heard Sophia's exclamation.
"Yep. Finral Valdue back in service." Finral responded with a smile on his face…..which is twitching slightly.
"It doesn't matter how many allies you gain, it won't help you." The fourth elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight stated before preparing to throw a punch forwards.
However, a flying slash appeared out of nowhere, striking the forth elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight.
"That crazy attack…..!" Finral said as he turned around, a shock expression appearing on his face.
"So. A lot more of you got possess, huh? Let's have some fun then. Kekekeke." Jack the ripper said with a grin on his face whilst having two blades sprouting out of his arms.
"It's the captain of the Green Mantis, Jack the ripper!" Finral exclaimed in a scared tone of voice.
"And our next wave of reinforcements just has to be a weirdo." Yami said in a blank tone of voice.
"Huh?! You wanna get ripped up, Yami!?" Jack asked as he walked forwards.
"Can we please focus on the battle in front of us?" Sophia asked whilst sweat-dropping, yet feeling more relieved at the sight of more allies on their side.
"Hell yeah! I'm so going to enjoy this." Jack said before dashing forwards, his grin widening.
"Don't get head of yourself." Yami said as he dash towards the elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight that wields water magic.
"Guess that I'm facing you then." Kenzan stated as she glance at the second elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight.
"Don't get cocky, Holy Sword wielder. My wind magic is far superior than yours." The second elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight said as they prepare to attack.
"Are your sure about that?" Kenzan asked, a small smirk appearing underneath her helmet.
"Finral. We'll give the others support with our magic." Sophia explained as she appear next to the Black Bull spatial Mage.
"Right." Finral said as he got his magic at the ready…..whilst apart of him his happy with being working along side a beautiful woman.
"My. Things are sure in full swing here." En commented just as the mercury-made eagle soared over the capital.
"We're heading straight to the castle. Out of all the places within the Royal Capital, we must not let it fall." Nozel explained in a calm tone of voice.
As of right now, the remaining passengers of the mercury-made eagle are Nozel, Noelle, Mimosa, Kirsch, En, and Zora. The rest have been dropped off and different points as the small group made their way towards the capital whilst Mereoleone jumped off somewhere near the edge of the capital, claiming that she's all healed now, mostly thanks to the healing-type Magic Item that Nozel brought with him, and decided to go on a rampage by herself.
"Oh my! It looks like the castle is already under attack!" Mimosa exclaimed in an alarmed tone of voice as she started to notice the damage surrounding the front gates.
This cause a frown to appear on Nozel's face before increasing the speed on the mercury-made eagle.
"Even though we just arrived, the elves's stronghold is just behind us." Noelle thought as she glanced over her shoulder and saw that the Eye Of The Midnight Sun's stronghold is nearing the outer walls of the Royal Capital.
"Hey! Guess we arrived first?!" A voice suddenly shouted, causing everyone to jump before looking towards where the voice originating from and saw Kenzan waving at them.
"Oh my. That's swords-woman sure has a loud voice." Kirsch commented before sighing slightly.
"Captain Sophia, Captain Yami and Captain Jack are there as well….and that Black Bull Magic Knight that got beaten up pretty badly during the Royal Knight selection exam!" En commented as moved his glasses, becoming surprise at the last part.
"I'm back, Noelle! I'm guessing that you're relieved to see me?!" Finral asked whilst waving an arm.
"As if! We're in a state of emergency and you've been sleeping! You got a good hundred years before you even have a good chance of making me feel relieved for your safety!" Noelle responded back in a harsh manner, causing Finral to fall on the ground.
"It's good to see that you're safe and sound Noelle." Sophia said with a small smile on her face as the mercury-made eagle come closer to the ground.
"Yes Captain." Noelle responded, nodding her head as well.
"Keh Hehehehe. It's been a long time, psycho captain. Since you people were useless, I figure I better join the Magic Knights." Zora explained, making a few people annoyed at the comment.
"…..Who're you again?" Yami asked, causing Zora to gain a tick-mark.
"Don't mess with me! I'm a member of your squad of problem kids! You better man up and take responsibility for giving me this robe, Captain Arbitrary!" Zora explained in annoyed tone of voice.
"It took you long enough, you idiot. How long were you planning to make me wait. Work enough to compensate for showing up late, Zora." Yami said with a smirk on his face before turning his attention towards Nozel.
"And where has the royal captain been loitering around, hm?! Your house is in big trouble, buddy!" Yami said before turning around and started to run through the destroyed gates.
"Haw Haw! You kept dragging your feet, so we're gonna go inside the castle." Jack said over his shoulder as he started to move as well.
"Foreigners and former peasants…." Nozel muttered, gaining a tick-mark.
"Never fear! You are among the handful of people I acknowledge to be beautiful." Kirsch said with a smile on his face.
"You be quiet." Nozel responded in a simple tone of voice.
"We'll head to the king's palace, so you people do you something about your own castles! The enemy's tough. Don't go overboard trying to beat them! Your goal is just to rescue people and get out! I don't want anybody dying on me!" Yami explained as he, Jack and Finral head towards the house of Kira.
"Who died and made you boss?" Jack asked in annoyed tone of voice.
"..." Yami didn't respond.
"I don't need you to tell me that. I can sense it." Nozel said as he, Noelle and Zora head towards the house of Silva.
"Kenzan. We go with the Vermillion group." Sophia said, causing Kenzan to nod their heads before the two of them run after Mimosa, Kirsch and En, the three of them heading towards the house of Vermillion, riding on a platform made with Kirsch's cherry blossom petals.
"This is awful…." Noelle muttered as she, Nozel and Zora entered the house of Silva and saw bodies laying on the ground, blood surrounding them.
"How dare they defile our castle...I'll never forgive them for that." Nozel muttered, his eyes narrowing.
It was at that moment that Zora jumped of the once mercury-made eagle, now transformed into a mass of mercury.
"You royals aren't my problem. I'm gonna go where I want." Zora explained as he started to head in a direction.
"Since the enemy's got the advantage of numbers, we have to be smart about the moves we make." Zora thought as he quickened his footstep.
"Excuse me! Don't go off on your own!" Noelle shouted in annoyed tone of voice.
"Leave him. He was good enough to be selected for the Royal Knights. No doubt he has his own combat methods." Nozel explained before twitching.
"Something's coming!" Nozel thought as he sense Mana heading towards them.
Suddenly, the wall in front of Nozel and Noelle broke apart, revealing an elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight.
"Found you, royals!" The elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight shouted before launching an attack towards the two Silvas.
However, Nozel quickly created mercury-made shields to block the numerous attacks.
"Prepare to be punished!" The elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight shouted as he prepare to attack again.
However, it was at that moment that liquid-mercury suddenly sprouted from the ground, trapping the elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight.
"Losing your head when confronting me is the height of foolishness." Nozel explained in a calm tone of voice as some liquid-mercury transformed into a blade.
"Transforming mercury magic with fine Mana control. It's both attack and defense. Brother is really amazing!" Noelle thought, lowering Argent-Couronne that she was prepared to transform with.
"We'll crush them, starting with the strongest." Nozel explained as he glanced towards a tower, the wall that the elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight burst out of leads to the outside.
"Over there...that's-!" Noelle thought, her eyes widening.
Dammit! Dammit, dammit! Curse you!" Solid said whilst his entire body shakes in fear
. Within Solid's bedroom, which is within the tower, the entire place is trashed with the battle that happened…..well, it was more like a one-sided assault.
"Her stupid huge powers kept getting in the way….and my attacks aren't hitting her! Solid thought as he stare at his opponent, which is a female elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight, whose human vessel is called Letoile, who has a few giant compass needles surrounding.
Laying on the ground next to Solid's is Nebra with a compass needle stab though her stomach.
"This….This can't be! I-I'm a Royal!" Solid exclaimed in a shaky tone of voice.
"How pitiful….Just die already." Letoile(?) said before firing three compass needles straight towards Solid.
"Ghhhhaaaaa!" Solid shouted, becoming scared.
However, it was at that moment that the window directly behind Solid shattered and a few mercury-made shields appeared in front of him, blocking the attacks.
"B-Brother!" Solid exclaimed in a surprise tone of voice as he glance over his shoulder before his eyes widened.
"Noelle!?" Solid thought in a shock tone of voice as he stare at an armor-clad Noelle.
"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Roar!" Joyeues announced before firing a giant water-made dragon straight towards Letoile(?) whilst clad in Mana-Skin.
"Compass Magic: Willful Compass." Letoile(?) announced, creating a giant compass in front of her and the Noelle's spell suddenly changed direction, heading upwards and breaking the ceiling.
"I missed." Joyeues thought in annoyed tone of voice.
"What?! Noelle can use her magic despite the enemy's oppressive Mana!?" Solid thought, gritting his teeth slightly.
"Hm? You're a Holy Sword wielder?" Letolie(?) asked, yet becoming confused as she tilt her head to the side as she examine Argent-Couronne within Joyeues's hand.
"That's right. I am known as the swords-woman of steel, Joyeues." Joyeues introduce herself, but this cause Letolie(?) to become more confuse.
"I've never heard Holy Sword wielder of that name. Regardless, since you're royal, you will die by my hands." Letolie(?) said in a serious tone of voice whilst pushing up her glasses.
"I heard that plenty of times already thank you very much." Joyeues thought in a slight bored tone of voice, yet still remain on guard.
"T-thank you...B-Brother…" Nebra said in a weak tone of voice as she attempt to remain conscious.
"N-Noelle can….withstand that ridiculous magic….? But even still, even though I hate to admit this, I have become a burden in this battle." Nebra thought as her Grimoire slowly turn it's pages.
"Mist….Magic: Winding Mist….Forest…." Nebra announced before summoning a huge amount of misted which takes the form of trees.
"Trying to escape? Unfortunately, you cannot do that." Letolie(?) said just as the pages of "her" Grimoire started to turn.
"Compass Magic: Another Atlas." Letolie(?) announced, creating a giant compass on the ceiling of the bedroom.
The needles on the compass on the ceiling and the one in front of Letolie(?) began to spin rapidly, causing the bedroom to gain a hurricane-like vibe to it.
"This is...I can't control my magic!" Nozel thought as he saw his mercury-made shields starting to loose it's shape.
"This spell forceable disrupts the Mana within it's area. No matter how strong you are, you will never be able to use your magic here.
However….my spells can still hit you." Letolie(?) explained as she summoned more compass needles which sent flying straight towards the Silva siblings.
Luckily, Joyeues swing Argent-Couronne, deflecting the needles.
"I can still fight!" Joyeues announced in a determined tone of voice.
"Argent-Couronne doesn't seemed to be affected by this "Another Atlas" spell. Thank goodness!" Joyeues thought in a relieved tone of voice, remembering how the sword of steel was created through her mother's Mana.
"Joyeues...show them the power of the Silva family." Nozel said as he stood next to the swords-woman of steel.
And there we have it, the Magic Knights arriving at the royal castle along with Finral's reappearance. So the next chapter will be Joyeues's and Nozel's fight against the elf-possessed Letolie, and you know what that is leading to.
So in Black Clover, the Paladins started their comeback with Sister Lilly and Hearth using a combined spatial X ice magic attack, dealing heavy damage to the Ryuzen Seven. Yrul then activate his own magic, creating a creature that targets ones fear. After frightening Kezokaku, the spell then focused on Ichika, transforming into her father. Whilst she did managed to withstand the sight of her father at first, Ichika then starts to see memories that she has no recollection of, showing that her father possess a pill that increases one bloodlust and yoryoku. Whilst her father was originally going to give the "Oni soul pill" to sukehiro, he decided to give one to Ichika, thus revealing that she's the one responsible for slaughtering the Yami clan. With the five-headed dragon healing itself, Asta finally joined the battle, likely joined by the other two Ryuzen Seven members.
Whilst it is interesting that we know the truth of the slaughtering of the Yami clan, I think it's too early to show us. Instead, Mr Tabata should have drawn that whilst Ichika herself saw those memories, we as the readers aren't shown, therefore leading to a likely scene of Ichika confronting Sukihero and questioning him about the memories that she saw are true, with us been shown the memories this time. Thinking about it, this could apply to the revealment of the connection between Lucius and Julius, seeing how it's a bit odd that it was revealed without any cause, such as the Magic Knight demanding questions from Lucius.
In Geats:
1: With the revealing that the DGP is a Reality Rider Show, the introduction is different whilst revealing the five players for the current series, Ace, Keiwa, Nago, Isuzu Daichi, known as Kamen Rider Nadge-Sparrow, and Gahana Sae, known as Kamen Rider Lopo.
2) After the first phase of the first mission, Tsumuri informed the participants that from now on, they will be living in the Desire Hall before meeting the new Game Master Chiram who explains that one of the participants has been selected as the "Desastar", giving the task of sabotaging the other players and if they aren't unmasked by the final round, then they can become the God of Desire.
3) As everyone settled down into their new living-quarters, Isuzu commented how Ace could be the Desastar, pointing out that his catchphrase is "Highlight", signifying that he figured out that the DGP is a Rider Reality Show long ago whilst Ace himself is meeting a supposed supporter of his, Jean.
4) The second phrase of the first mission starts with the Riders infiltrating the school whilst locating the principle's office, but Lopo, who was more quicker than the others, revealed that there isn't a principle office.
5) with Nadge-Sparrow's aid, Geats completed a secret side-mission which earned him the "Powered-Builder" Raise Buckle which he then used to create the principle's office.
6) When the principle Jamato appeared, the Riders immediately attacked him before immediately getting ambushed by the delinquent Jamato. Geats defeated the principle Jamato using the three weapons provided by the "Powered-Builder" Raise Buckle and the "Boost" Raise Buckle.
7) Back at the Desire Temple, Tsumuri revealed that the points system is different this time, it being based on the audience's approval rating for each participants.
8) With Michinaga, who has woke up in the greenhouse where the Jamato are grown, questioned Archimedel about his motives, to which he responded that he wants to made his ideal world a reality, before witnessing a Jamato transforming into Takenshi.
So the rule for this episode is that the Destastar is hidden amongst the participants. If there true identity isn't revealed by the final stage, they will become the new God of Desire. With the participants living together and being watched, it turning into something like the "Big Brother" show and with the Desastar aspect for this season of the DGP, and possibly future seasons, it sounds similar to the "Among Us" game. I like it that the points system has changed now that the reality show aspect of the DGP is revealed, certainly makes each season different, for us I mean.
Please review and until next time.
FlameFireZero X: I haven't fully consider giving a art cover for this story, or any of my other stories, but I'll think about it.
itspowertime:
1) I haven't thought of a point when Sora's magic will be shown, but I have some ideas in mind.
2) Floges will be appearing soon.
Dragon Rider 66:
1) The situation seem to have calmed down in that area, although Charla's actions are needed to be shown.
2) Good luck for them, it will a miracle to trick a fox a second time. It was a surprise reveal that the participants of the DGP are being watched, although Ace seemed to figure it out a lot earlier due to his "highlight" catchphrase. Since the episode shows a Jamato turning into Takenshi, everyone will think that Michinaga is a transformed Jamato and likely start to attack him.
3) With the Desastar aspect, Kiewa and Neon will likely be mentally focus on being aware with how everyone behaves around then for the duration of the DGP.
4) Brave Dragon will certainly be visiting the Golden Dawn Headquarters a lot often to visit Mimosa, much to the confusion of everyone whilst Mimosa has a giant blush on her face.
5) At least they seemed to have cheered up for this current season of the DGP, although they maybe under-pressure due to the Desastar aspect of the current season.
6) The two could have a proper fight between each other when Ace has his main Desire fulfilled, as in reuniting with his mother, and doesn't have anything else to gain.
7) Well, you know what's coming up within this newly started battle.
Raidentensho: An ice x earth based fusion spell, that sounds like an interesting idea. Everyone will certain enjoy teasing Sol and Blades.
