Battle against the spatial elf
Saber deflected the attack before jumping back.
However, Joyeues chased after the swordsman of flames.
"Even though this is just pretending. You should be careful with that new speed of hers." Floges pointed out since the sword-woman of steel's speed has increase with the aid of flight.
"I know!" Saber responded as he ducked underneath an attack from Argent-Couronne before swinging Rekka.
Brave Dragon and Valkyrie's Legacy watched their companion fighting each other before glancing towards each other.
Knowing that the battle needs to be more believable, the two started to fight each other.
After a few minutes, Floges gained a frown on his face.
"No. It still doesn't feel like a real battle." Floges commented in Saber's/Asta's head as he observe the "fight".
"Do you any ideas?" Saber asked as he block an attack from Argent-Couronne.
"...Why don't you grope Noelle." Floges suggested, causing Saber/Asta to stumble whilst in mid-swing.
"What?! You do realize that Noelle's siblings are here!" Saber/Asta shouted in response whilst starting to blush.
"If you want the battle to be more real, then you need to take more risks." Floges responded in a matter of tone of voice.
"I'm not touching any part of Noelle." Saber/Asta thought in a firm tone of voice.
Luckily, a alternative option appeared.
"Might as well joined in." Nozel thought before opening his Grimoire.
"Mercury Magic: Silver Spear." Nozel announced, creating mercury-made spears before firing them towards Saber.
With the swordsman of flames, he thrust Rekka forwards but noticed the mercury-made spears coming from behind Joyeues.
"Whoa!" Saber exclaimed as he jumped back, letting the mercury-made spears strike the ground instead.
"Brother?" Joyeues asked, becoming confused as she watch her oldest brother walk up to her.
"Your friend wants to make this battle believable, so it would be odd if I'd stand back." Nozel explained, glancing at his youngest sister from the conner of his eyes.
"Right!" Joyeues said before getting back into a battle stance.
"Hm? Did something happened?" Saber thought, noticing that their something different between Joyeues and Nozel.
"You better prepare yourself, swordsman of flames. Don't worry, I'll make sure not to hit you. Mercury Magic: Silver Rain." Nozel announced, creating multiple spheres of mercury within the air before letting them fall towards the swordsman of flames.
"I'll make sure not to hit you, yeah right!" Saber exclaimed in his head as he had a slight difficult time dodging the mercury rain.
"Don't forget about me!" Joyeues exclaimed as she sped through the "rain", the droplets not hitting her in the slightest.
In response, Saber activated his own wings, making things more easier to attack and dodge.
"Mercury Magic: Silver Bullet." Nozel announced as he made "Silver Rain" disappear and create orbs surrounding him before the start to fire mercury bullets towards Saber, making sure not to hit Joyeues.
"Why do I having the feeling that I'm getting bullied by these two?" Saber questioned as he deflected an attack from Agent-Couronne before dodging an attack from Nozel's spell.
"….They're here." Floges said just before Saber, the Silva siblings and the two mechanical beings felt multiple Manas surrounding them.
"This many!?" Joyeues exclaimed as she glance at the six elf-possessed Magic Knights.
"It seems that we underestimate you humans! How dare you do that to Kivn. You've made yourselves more unforgivable. Don't worry, swordsman of flames, we have come to your aid." One of the elf-possessed Magic Knights said before firing a burst of flames straight towards Solid and Nebra.
"How cowardly." Nozel thought before starting to create mercury to protect Solid and Nebra.
However, before he could fully let the mercury materialized, someone appeared behind Solid and Nebra.
"And there it it, the perfect chance for a successful surprise attack." Zora commented as he created a magic circle.
When the flames struck the magic circle, it got adsorbed into the circle before shooting straight back at the elf-possessed Magic Knight, yet with double the speed.
"Kehehehe. I'd expected no less from you people. That stuff is even more incredible when you double it!" Zora said with a smirk on his face.
"What….?! What was that spell?!" Another one of the elf-possess Magic Knights asked in a stunned tone of voice.
"You lot were releasing a lot of Mana up here. I figured that would attract a crowd." Zora explained before releasing someone who he has been carrying up until now.
"G'wan. You get to work too, royal attendant dweeb." Zora said just as G'wan got himself off the ground.
"Why did you bring me somewhere this dangerous?!" G'wan exclaimed in a frightened tone of voice.
"I save you, so you better do what I say. Get a move on now." Zora ordered, making G'wan nodding his head before scurrying towards Solid and Nebra.
"S-Sir Solid! Lady Nebra! A-are you two unharmed?!" G'wan asked once he reached them.
Zora took note of the nervous expression on Solid's and Nebra's faces.
"Gimme a break. Lost your will to fight huh? Some royal Magic Knights you two are. All that arrogance, and now you pull this?! You two are pathetic!" Zora shouted with annoyance on his face.
"Silence! This is no time to be given a lecture, especially to those who are higher than you." Nozel said as he glared at Zora.
"Then why don't you show us how royal Magic Knights should act then?" Zora retorted as he glance towards Nozel.
"If we aren't in the situation we are right now, I will execute you on the spot." Nozel responded, making Zora scoff slightly.
"Should you spring a surprise attack now?" Joyeues whispered to Saber, the two of them being in a deadlock.
"Not yet. I'll wait until the elves make their first move." Saber whispered back, causing the swords-woman of steel to nod her head.
"If you two are arguing amongst yourselves, then die." One of the five remaining elf-possessed Magic Knights commented before unleashing an attack.
"All right! Brave Dragon, now!" The swordsman of flames shouted before shooting off into the air, making Joyeues stumble slightly just as Brave Dragon, who has been attempting to throw Valkyrie's Legacy off it's back, shot towards the nearest elf-possessed Magic Knight.
"Huh?! Wha-!" One of the elf-possessed Magic Knights exclaimed just as Saber appeared in front of him and swing Rekka which is clad in a glowing red light.
"You traitor!" Another of the gathered elf-possessed Magic Knights exclaimed as she turned her attention towards the swordsman of flames and prepare to attack him.
"No you don't! Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Spikes!" Joyeues exclaimed as she fly straight towards the female elf-possessed Magic Knight.
The female elf-possessed Magic Knigth managed to dodge the spikes but ended up getting cut by Argent-Couronne.
"Why you!" The female elf-possessed Magic Knight exclaimed in an angry tone of voice as she prepare to attack Joyeues.
However, before the female elf-possessed Magic Knight can cast a spell, a presence beside her.
"Hm?" The female elf-possessed Magic Knight said as she turned her head…..just in time to get kicked in the face by Valkyrie's Legacy.
"Thank you." Joyeues said just as the knocked out female elf-possessed Magic Knight fell.
Even though Valkyrie's Legacy couldn't show it, the swords-woman of steel could sense that the silver mechanical Valkyrie is smiling at her.
Nozel watched as Saber, Brave Dragon, Joyeues and Valkyrie's Legacy fight the elves.
"I need to fight as well. I can't sit back and let them do all of the fighting." Nozel thought as he prepare to cast a spell.
"I might as well help you out." Zora commented as he sighed whilst opening his Grimoire.
"Ash Magic: Revelation Of The Cowardly." Zora announced as ash started to pour out of his Grimoire and transfer over to Nozel.
"What are you….?" Nozel began to ask but stop when he started to notice things in his vision.
"My spell shows the locations of traps spells that I have set up, and I have set up a lot of traps." Zora thought just as Nozel began to attack, targeting the magic circles that have appeared within his vision.
After a short period of time, the elf-possessed Magic Knights lay defeated.
"Here we go…." Saber commented as he raised Rekka into the air before letting the red light covering the blade to shine brighter.
"Hm? What is that elf doing? Making a light show or something?" Zora asked as he shield his eyes from the light.
"He's removing the malice that is surrounding the souls of the elves." Nozel responded in a calm tone of voice, making Zora to become confuse before noticing a dark red aura leaving the bodies of the elf-possessed Magic Knights.
"So they should be less aggressive when they wake up?" Nozel asked just as Saber, Joyeues and Valkyrie's Legacy landed on the ground.
"Yes. So where should we head next, Sir?" Saber asked, making the captain of the Silver Eagles to gain a thinking expression on his face.
"Hang on a minute. Are you seriously going to trust this elf?" Zora objected with a look of disbelief on his face.
"The elf isn't controlling Saber's body." Nozel responded, causing Zora to blink in his eyes in confusion for a few seconds before glancing towards the swordsman of flames.
"Runt? Is that you?" Zora asked, making a tick-mark appear on Saber's forehead.
"Yes, it's me. I've been pretending to be possessed by the elf's soul." Saber explained, being annoyed at the name calling.
"Wow. I didn't expected for you to be the sneaky type and act like the villain. I would have seen you charging at the enemy right off the bat." Zora commented with a smirk on his face.
"Well, it was pretty much Floges's, the elf that I'm hosting, suggestion that I pretended to be possessed." Saber explained, making Zora nod his head slightly.
"Enough chit-chatting, we're still in the middle of a crises." Nozel said, causing everyone to nod their heads.
Meanwhile, all the way at the Vermillion residence, a large majority of the place is filled with cherry blossom petals.
"No matter how often we blow these petals away, it comes back. Blasted humans and their impertinent spells!" An elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight commented as he glanced around.
It was at that moment that a shadowy figure appeared behind the elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight.
"Hm?" The elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight said as he saw something from the corner of his eyes as he turned his head around.
"Hiya!" Kenzan exclaimed as she suddenly dashed out of the petals and struck the elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight in the stomach, effectively knocking him out.
"Heh, and that's another one." Kenzan commented with a smirk underneath her helmet.
"This is the Vermillion residence. The terrain is completely in our favor! In addition, weakening, disturbance, and concealment. These factors helps the swift Magic Knight to deal you lot in a quick and beautiful manner whilst guidance and search helps to tailor our main goal of evaluation easier." Kirsch whilst hiding within the cherry blossom petals as well.
"Be quiet, Kirsch. They'll find us." Mimosa pointed out, she and En being beside the vice-captain of the Coral Peacocks.
"Members of the Golden Dawn...we'll return your former personalities to you, I'll promise." Mimosa thought as she glanced to her magic-created map of the Vermillion's residence.
"Everyone! Please evacuate quickly." Sophia said just as members of house Vermillion walked through a golden portal.
"Hi there. Working hard?" A voice suddenly asked, causing Sophia to become tense whilst whirling around and drawing her golden sword to face an elf-possessed Golden Dawn Magic Knight who possess blond hair and blue eyes.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! There's no point in squaring off to fight. So let's have a nice, leisurely chat. I mean, look, we reincarnated with more powerful magic than you, and we're gathering here, at the royal residence. You guys can feel it, right? I'm Baval by the way." the now known Baval explained in a cheerful tone of voice.
"How did he find us?! Isn't the spell working?!" En thought as he and the others notice Baval's presence.
"Aside from those of us and here now, there's more strong magic right over there. Running outside is totally pointless. I mean, they're going to kill everything anyway. So take it easy and give up. I'm amazed, but so are the other guys, y'know? Wow, does this take me back. I can't wait to see everybody again." Baval said with a smile on his face.
"What's wrong with this elf?" Kenzan thought with a questioning expression underneath her helmet.
"Who won't let let that happen! We won't give up!" Mimosa said with a determined expression on her face.
"Fine by me. But...when you take the other team's king, you win. Isn't that this stuff works. Somebody awesome is over at your king's palace right now. He's a bit warped, but anyway….he's also stubborn and tenacious, so, see….there's no way that guy's getting away. Oh! And also….If he uses that particular magic to kill, then survival is not even possible." Baval explained, a deadly look appearing in his eyes.
"….." Sophia became silent for a few seconds before making decision.
"I'm heading over to the house of Kira." Sophia said as she opened a portal and ran through it.
However, just before the portal could full close, Nero swooped through.
Baval blinked at the space where the portal was for a few seconds before sighing.
"Well. Someone's eager to die by Ratri's hands." Baval commented whilst shrugging his shoulders whilst the remaining Magic Knights gain worried expression on their faces.
When the captain of the Sword Of Logos walked out of the portal, she immediately duck towards the ground to avoid getting hit by a bullet of some sorts.
Sophia glanced up to see a battle that is going full swing, consisting of Yami and Jack dodging dark purple orbs which are being fired by an elf-possessed Langris whilst Finral fired light green orbs, cancelling the dark purple orbs.
"What did I ran into?" Sophia questioned in her head just before opening another portal and jump into it, appearing behind "Langris", who is being possessed by the elf known as Ratri.
"What?!" Ratri said, his eyes widening in surprise at the Sophia's sudden appearance.
The captain of the Sword Of Logos swing her golden bladed sword at Ratri in a diagonal slash.
However, Sophia's eyes widened this time when a barrier suddenly appeared, blocking her sword attack.
"That was a sudden appearance that you made, but your presence holds no benefit to your side, human." Ratri commented with an evil smirk on his face just as an orb headed straight towards Sophia's head.
Luckily, the captain of the Sword Of Logos was saved by Yami who grabbed her by the waist whilst continuing to run.
"T-thank you!" Sophia said in a slight stun tone of voice.
"Heh. Do you like to make surprise entrances?" Yami asked as he skidded to a halt, a smirk being on his face.
"Not a lot." Sophia responded just as Yami released her.
"What's happening over at the Vermillion house?" Yami asked as he kept his gaze lock on Ratri.
"Those within the house have been evacuated. One of the elves commented how the one that is targeting the king is the most warped. I decided to come here if extra help is needed." Sophia explained, making the captain of the Black Bulls to snort slightly.
"I guess "warped" is the best way to describe this guy." Yami commented just before swinging his dark-clad Katana in order to cut a dark purple orb in two.
"Where's the king? Has he been evacuated?" Sophia asked, becoming worried for the King's safety…..well, just a little bit.
"That maniac decided to cut the wall and ground surrounding King Augustus, causing him to fall through that hole." Yami explained whilst jabbing a thumb over to Jack.
"You what?!" Sophia exclaimed in a shock tone of voice.
"What? Its not like he can get attack by one of these elves now." Jack pointed out with a slight crazy grin on his face.
"How did you even manage to become a Magic Knight in the first place?" Sophia questioned in her head whilst sweat-dropping.
"Why are you lot standing about and talking? If you not going to do anything else, then die!" Ratri shouted before starting to fire dark purple orbs again.
"Captains! You better start moving! I don't think my magic can block all of those attacks!" Finral shouted as he began to fire light green orbs.
"Don't go bossing me around, Finral! Dark Magic: Black Hole." Yami announced, creating a black hole which draw any incoming dark purple orbs into whilst the captain of the Black Bulls began to move.
"Spatial Magic: Barrier." Sophia announced as she stayed where she is and create a large rectangle-shaped barrier to block any attacks that came in her direction.
The captain of the Green Mantis simply clad his legs with Mana-Skin and simply dodge the attacks.
Yami ran about the destroyed throne room until jumping into the air.
"Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Lightless Slash." Yami thought before swinging his Katana and releasing a dark wave.
However, Yami's spell didn't hit Ratri as a shield appeared in front of him, blocking the attack.
In response, Ratri lifted an arm before swiping the air with it.
However, before Ratri's attack could hit the captain of the Black Bulls, Sophia opened a portal, causing Yami to fall through it and land on the ground, avoiding the attack.
"Tch." Ratri said in a slight angry tone of voice.
"Unless we do something about that defense zone of his, there's no way to get close. Finral is busy cancelling out that elf's attack. Maybe Sophia can do something?" Yami thought as he surveyed the situation.
Yami's eyes landed on Jack slowly managing to cut though the dark purple orbs and making his way towards Ratri.
"There it is!" Yami muttered with a smirk on his face before he dash forwards.
"Dark Magic: Dark Cloak Dimension Slash/Severing Magic: Death Scythe!" Yami and Jack announced at the same time before releasing two waves of energy.
Ratri's defense spell appeared, but the two waves of energy easy destroyed them.
"They did it!" Sophia and Finral thought at the same time.
However, Ratri is still releasing the dark purple orbs at the Magic Knights.
"I was surprised that they managed to strip off my defenses, but it looks like they were one move short!" Ratri thought before a smirk appearing on his face.
"With his spatial magic, he can't adequately attack or defend. Return to nothingness!" Ratri thought as he focus his attention onto Finral before throwing a powerful volley of dark purple orbs towards the Black Bull spatial mage.
However, a barrier appeared in front Finral, blocking the dark purple orbs that would have it him.
This cause Ratri to gain an annoyed expression on his face as he glance towards Sophia.
Before Ratri can do anything else, Yami and Jack suddenly appeared in front of him.
"What the?! Did he dropped his defenses to move his companions!" Ratri thought as his eyes widened in surprise for a few seconds before calming down.
"But it's too late! Die!" Ratri thought as he prepare to attack.
However, a portal appeared and Sophia ran out of it and hit Ratri with her golden sword, knocking him off balance as a wound appeared on his back.
"Nice one, Sophia!" Yami called just as the pages of his Grimoire began to turn to turn.
"Now it's nap time, little boy. Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Lightless Blunt Strike." Yami thought before striking Ratri with the blunt side of his Katana.
Ratri's eyes gained a blank expression on his face…..but Yami sensed something is wrong.
"How dare you!" Ratri shouted in anger, somehow becoming awake again, whilst releasing larger version of the dark purple orbs that went flying about the place.
"Petty….dirty….ugly humans!" Ratri shouted as he began to float into the air.
Luckily, the Magic Knight were safe from getting hit as Sophia created a barrier in front of them….but become concerned at the volume of Mana that each dark purple orb possess.
"For the love of…..what are we supposed to do about this?!" Jack said with a slight annoyed expression on his face.
"No...it already over. When he beside himself like that….he'll never notice my magic." Finral said as he activate his magic, causing a portal to appear behind Ratri.
Flying out of it is a light green orb.
When the light green orb touch Ratri, he was instantly appeared in front of Finral who has one of his fists closed.
"Come here….Langris." Finral throught as he punched Ratri, effectively knocking him out.
Silence descended as Finral walked up to the knocked-out for of Ratri.
"Lan...gris." Finral muttered before falling unconscious himself.
"Yeesh. That wimp just stole all the glory." Yami commented before sighing.
"But great work….Finral." Yami said with a slight smile on his face.
And there we go, Saber and Joyeues fight each other, with Nozel deciding to join, leading to their proper sibling bonding, plus Brave Dragon and Valkyrie Legacy deciding to fight each other as well before performing a sneak attack on the appeared elves. So Sophia decided to join in the battle involving Yami, Finral and Jack against Ratri.
In Black Clover, Hearth recognized Asta and prepared to confront him, but was intercepted by Yosuga. With Asta, Sister Lilly became confused at Asta's presence, along with still being alive, with him responding that it was her doing, stating that the non-Paladin Sister Lilly will not kill people. The two began to fight with the Paladin version of Sister Lilly herself doesn't want to kill Asta, but do so for Lucius's sake. the chapter ends with Asta striking Sister Lilly with his Zetten, hopefully returning her to normal.
So even though the Paladins have been brainwashed into becoming loyal to Lucius, they can still act on their own emotions, as seen with Sister Lilly not wanting to kill Asta which could connect why Sister Lilly transported Asta away rather than just straight up kill him back at the Clover Kingdom. With how Yosuga confronting Hearth, I'm looking forward on seeing his Yokojutsu.
In Geats:
1) The mission round starts when it is reported that Jamatos have started to deliver fruits which are discovered to be bombs in disguise and Tsumuri revealed to the participants that the Jamatos have sent a letter to management saying that the bombs will be set off at sunset.
2) As the Riders start to find the bombs and defuse them, Geats completed a secret side mission which grant him access to the "Magnum" Raise Buckle, gifted by Jean. When Tycoon made a complement that the "Magum" Raise Buckle suits Geats, the two of them are attacked by a apple-disguised bomb by a unknown assailant.
3) When the Riders started to question why the bombs are disguised as fruits, Keiwa realized that his sister have gotten a pineapple delivered to her by a unknown person, prompting him and the others to go to his and his sister's residence where they found her wrapped in red and blue wires which are connected to the pineapple-themed bomb.
4) With Archimedel, he was planning on planting the Baffa ID Core, which he took from Michinaga, but was stopped by a woman known as Beroba, a supporter for the Jamato side of the DGP, who then talked to Michinaga in the hopes of getting his cooperation.
5) As the mission continues, Geats and Tycoon are confronted by Michinaga who transformed into Baffa and began to fight Geats whilst Tycoon chased a Jamato who's carrying pineapple-themed bombs, resulting in him using the "Zombie" Raise Buckle to break open a door.
6) With the end of the first phase of the third mission, Niram is informed by Samus that Beroba, a Jamato supporter, is backing Baffa's return, but finds it difficult to do anything since she's now a Rider supporter.
7) At the Desire Hall, it is revealed that Sae is the Desastar, giving a mission of hitting another Rider with a bomb.
So the rule for this episode is that the Desastar must complete their secret mission without fail. With the revealment that the Jamatos/Archimedel possess supporters, it does put a new spin on the DGP, even though they are looked down by the audience and Rider supporters. With the next episode, a new Rider will be appearing, Kamen Rider Gazer who uses a gold repaint of Kamen Rider Glare's armor. I think that Niram is Kamen Rider Gazer because "Niram" means gaze in Japanese, similar to how "Girori" means glare, and Niram took the Vision Driver when he fired Girori. Since this mission involves fruits, I have a funny idea about what would happen if the Gaim Riders somehow appeared during the mission. The DGP Riders would start to freak out when they see that the Gaim Riders possess fruit-themed armor with Tycoon mostly likely attempting to rip the armor off them, being followed by Nago and Sae with Geats becoming curious at the Riders who wield different Drivers. The DGP staff and audience will be completely stunned and confuse about the sudden apperance of the Gaim Riders.
Please review and until next time.
Dragon Rider 66:
1) That would have been an interesting twist, Asta revealing himself that he's still in control during the final battle. Mimosa will certainly be relieved about not potentially having to fight Asta. It will certainly take some times for the royals to fully digest the real actions that their ancestors did in the past. Asta grabbing Noelle's chest!? That will certainly motivate Noelle into becoming more serious with the pretend fight, but thanks for the idea.
2) Even though the process of reverting Sister Lilly to normal has began, I have the feeling that someone will interfere.
3) Yep, goodbye bird and for who the Desastar could be, it just have to be one of the newer Riders of the series. With Baffa, like what Niram hinted, he wants to transform Michinaga into a Jamato, although I think that the process is starting since he has the "Jamato" Raise Buckle. It would seem that the audience members have a influence on DGP rather than just watching it.
4) If the groping did happen, then Saber will be running/flying away from an angry Nozel with Floges suggesting to Asta about escaping to Wonder World.
5) Yes, Joyeues's belt buckle will change depending on if she's a power-up Wonder-Ride book or not.
6) I suppose that's another likely option.
7) That will be some reunion I can imagine.
8) Well, Tycoon is using a new Raise Buckle, along with changing his fighting style. I can imagine Kekera somehow programming a function into the "Boost" Raise Buckle which involves hitting Tycoon every time he doesn't use the Raise Buckle when he receives it.
9) Well, the Jamatos starting to take on human disguises will likely cause something major to happen in the future.
10) The eye-piece of the helmet breaking away is a theme that happens throughout the Kamen Rider series.
11) That will be an awkward moment if Brave Dragon simply decided to burst in without knocking whilst carrying Asta...along with causing the Golden Dawn to become on alert.
12) Well Neon did have some moments in this episode with discovering that his mother has been told about the DGP and currently is watching and discovering the reason behind Sae's Desire.
13) Indeed, a nice way of ending the final DGP.
Howard567:
1) I suppose that at first they will at first attempt to attack Saber/Asta, such as Kenzan, before receiving the same treatment that he got from Joyeues, but in a kinder manner such as from Donna.
2) From the end of the chapter, the process seems to be starting since some of the lines of Sister Lilly's face are starting to disappear. However, I'm expecting a twist to happen, such as Beelzebub interfering in some way, since he's one of the three ruling Devils.
3) I did have the thought that the audience members are capable of choosing there own Riders to take part in the DGP, but we just have to wait until we find out the true nature of the audience, despite the hint that we got two weeks ago.
itspowertime:
1) Thanks, but it could have been more interesting if Saber/Asta still pretended that he's still be controlled by Floges and suggest a truce to help the Magic Knights when the Shadow Palace appears...although that would lead to not just Noelle, but practically everyone attacking Asta.
2) Well, a small battle did occur, with Floges giving a strange idea to Asta and Nozel deciding to join in. As for everyone's reactions, they will still likely be mad/worried, although Zora was impressed with Asta's acting.
