The ending of the nightmare
"Let's go, Saber!" Yuno said before charging forwards.
"That's my line, Yuno!" Saber responded as he chased after the Golden Dawn wind Mage.
"That boy possessed a wind attribute but managed to create a sword…..could it be?" Lumiel thought as he look at Yuno, starting to gain an idea.
"But whose the person underneath the armor of Saber?" Lumiere wondered aloud.
"A boy named Asta. He's an idiot…..but someone who put in in more work than anyone in the kingdom." Secre responded as she appeared next to the first Wizard King who gained a questioning expression on his face at the "idiot" part.
With Saber and Yuno, the two charged through the mass of snake-like things that lunged towards them, easily destroying them, even Yuno's newly created sword is cutting through the snake-like things.
"So not only the swordsman of flames has managed to intensify the purifying powers of his sword, but that boy managed to somehow evolve his magic so that it can't be effected by my spell." Zagred thought with a frown on his face.
"But can you two even reach me with the speed that you're going at?" The Devil questioned as he about to move.
However, as if responding to Zagred's question, Yuno used his magic to push Saber forward, increasing the swordsman of flames' speed.
Within seconds, Saber has stabbed Rekka into Zagred.
"Ghk!" The Devil exclaimed as he felt the purifying Mana entering his body.
"He used the wind magic to go even faster!" Zagred thought in a shock tone of voice.
"Those two work together very well." Licht commented, feeling impressed towards the two.
"They….did it!" Patry said in a shock tone of voice.
"….You maggots. Lower life-forms. How dare you?" Zagred began to say just as multiple mouths appeared all over his body.
"Scum. It's all over. I'll slaughter all of you. How dare you? Even though both despair and resistance are merely my playthings. You're nothing more than water, sending up spay whenever it's struck a rock." Zagred's voice spoke through the multiple mouths.
"I was sure that I ran Rekka though his heart, but now it's somewhere else?!" Saber thought in a shock tone of voice.
"-" Zagred announced, causing many snake-like things to lunged towards the swordsman of flames.
Somehow, Saber managed to avoid getting bitten as he moved back.
"-. I'll wipe you out. -. -." Zagred repeatedly spoke, causing the blob-like things to start becoming more agitated.
"Can we do anything against this stuff?! our magic can't hold its own against the Devil! Everyone on the lower floors will be…" Patry thought as he started to fire black-light swords at the agitated blob-like things.
"Patry. I'm sorry, but hold the perimeter for a little while." Licht explained as he prepared his magic.
"We can't let the modern Mages die. They are the future of the Clover Kingdom after all." Lumiel said just as Zagred continued his rant.
"Who said you get to end this, you creepy freak covered in mouths? Are you still good to go, Yuno?" Saber asked as he glanced towards Yuno.
"That's my line, Saber!" The Golden dawn wind Mage responded with a smile on his face.
"Lets shut that guy up!" Both responded at the same as they got their weapons at the ready.
Below them, Secre stared at Saber.
"In the beginning, I approached you so that I can use you and the Sword Of Logos to collect the Magic Stones. But as I spent time with you….as I watched you fight….I began wanting to believe in you. I started to bet on." Secre thought as memories started to filter through her head.
"Please! Win this….Asta." Secre thought in a determined tone of voice.
"Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!" Zagred's multiple mouths exclaimed as more of the snake-like things started to emerge from the blob-like things….along with other stuff like claws, which started to attack Saber and Yuno.
"Knowing the Devil, it will attempt keep it's distance away from Saber. If we manage to score a solid thrust at the Devil's heart with Rekka…" Yuno thought as he glanced towards Zagred.
"There's no end to these things!" Saber shouted as he fired "Flame Dragon's Fangs" at an approaching snake-like thing with gritted teeth underneath his helmet.
It was at that moment that Saber's body shook slightly.
"How long can my physical strength last?" Saber thought, starting to become worried.
"Just focus on the fight! We're almost there!" Floges shouted within Saber's head, causing the swordsman of flames to nod his head.
"The boy with fire magic and the boy with wind magic. As they fight, each other trust the other implicitly. We have no choice but to to this to them!" Lumiel thought as he watch Saber and Yuno fight together.
"Their companions….need our help!" Lumiel thought as he grasp the Demon-Dweller Sword along with Licht and started to pour his magic into the blade.
"Compound Spell: Demon Dweller Sword, Protecting Light." Lumiere and Licht announced before sending out beams of light from the Demon Dweller Sword, connecting to all the elves within the Shadow Palace.
"Whoa!" Saber exclaimed as he felt a burst of power flowing through him. It was at that moment that a snake-like thing lunged towards the swordsman of flames.
However, Saber quickly avoided getting bitten by the thing's teeth before burning it with his fire magic which is infused the purifying ability.
"This Mana that the first Wizard King and the chief elf are sending towards us….it's increasing our speed as well!" Saber thought as he glanced down at himself.
"As long as my magic lasts, I won't let a single one of them die!" Lumiel thought as he felt his body cracking slightly.
Some snake-like things lunged towards the First Wizard King and chieftain elf, fangs and claws at the ready.
"Demon Light Creation Magic: Light Whip Of Judgement." Patry announced as he appeared in front of the two and swing a black-light whip, destroying the snake-like things.
"The bond between them...This time, I won't doubt it!" Patry thought as a few memories which show Licht and Lumiere appeared in his head.
As Yuno slashed an incoming snake-like thing, he glanced towards Zagred.
"Saber! Focus on finishing off that Devil! Focus your attack and punch through." The Golden Dawn wind Mage said as he glanced towards the swordsman of flames who was destroying another snake-like thing.
"I know that! You don't have to tell me!" Saber responded as he turned his attention towards Zagred.
"Its the way you die so easily that makes you so much fun. Your swords still haven't reached me, and now...they're utterly useless. Already….right here….just like this….at last….finally…..it's over!" The Devil shouted as massive snake-like things started to surround him, baring down on Saber and Yuno.
"You better not lag behind, Saber." Yuno commented before flying straight towards Zagred.
"Like that would ever happen!" Saber responded as he flew forwards as well just as the massive snake-like things lunged towards the two.
"Its hopeless for the both of them. They can't destroy my heart." Zagred thought as he watch Saber and Yuno avoid getting eating by some of the massive snake-like things.
"I didn't think you'd be able to do it. I thought that could never be someone like the prince." Secre thought as she stood guard above Lumiel and Licht, a slight anxious expression appearing on her face.
After a while, Zagred noticed something.
"Where did the swordsman of flames went?!" Zagred thought, becoming shock as he glanced around.
"Fire Creation Magic: Dragon Blade Drago Brave!" A voice announced, causing the Devil to spin around and flying straight towards him with Rekka surrounded by flames, enlarging it.
"He must have hid within the shadows of the life absorbing spell from a different direction…...my blind spot…...!" Zagred thought before suddenly spotting Yuno right in front of him.
The Golden Dawn wind Mage swing his sword and successfully landed a hit.
"Get away from m-Ghak!" Zagred began to say but was cut off just as Saber struck him this time.
"Stop! Bend! Retreat! Halt! Go back!" Zagred's many mouths screamed as the purifying Mana started to enter his body.
"This isn't enough! We need one final push!" Yuno thought, starting to realize that somehow the Devil is resisting.
"Wow. Real crazy things are going up there." Yami commented as he glanced upwards, sensing the multiple Ki within the topmost floor.
Currently, he and Charla are in one of the pathways of the Shadow Palace, having been forced back due to the blob-like things, and are standing on a floating slab of rock.
"We're not doing much if we're just standing here." Charla pointed out, giving the captain of the Black Bulls a questioning look.
"Well. I do have a spell that can help the others." Yami responded as he glanced towards his once damaged arm, now healed by Charla.
"I probably have the strength for one good "Dimension Slash". Better not screw it up." Yami thought just as he Grimoire opened.
"You're going to cast a spell?! You're nowhere near the Devil, even if your magic is capable of dealing proper damage to him!" Charla said in a shock tone of voice.
"Yeah? Just be quiet and watch." Yami responded as he raised his Katana above his head.
"Mana Zone: Dark Cloaked Dimension Slash-Equinox!" Yami announced before swinging his Katana downwards, releasing a giant wave of dark magic which began to cut through space.
Back in the upmost room, Zagred suddenly got attacked, causing everyone to become shock.
"Dark magic….can interfere with…..the other world!" Zagred thought has his body started to split in the middle.
"Saber!" Yuno shouted, not wanting to waste the opportunity.
"Got it!" Saber responded before giving Rekka a push, letting the blade go through Zagred's body more easily, striking his heart.
"Ghak!" Zagred exclaimed in pain his body started to disintegrate.
"I'll take you along with me!" One of Zagred's mouth spoke just as the Devil was about to cast a spell.
"Just disappear, will you!" Yuno responded before using his magic to blast Zagred away from him and Saber.
Everyone watched as the Devil's body continued to disintegrate.
"I...lost?!" Zagred exclaimed in his head in anger with him being in his mindscape
"It would seem so, what a pity." A voice spoke, causing the word soul Devil to turn around and saw a shadowy figure, but Zagred knew who the person is.
"Storious." Zagred spoke, a frown appearing on his face.
"It's a shame for you. You waited patiently for 500 years in order to complete your goal, yet failed at the most crucial moment." Storious commented whilst shaking his head.
This cause Zagred to growl angrily.
"Yo do remember that it was you who released me from the Underworld in the first place!" Zagred pointed out, making Storious nod his head.
"I do remember, but this story that has spanned for 500 years has now finished." Storious said before disappearing.
"Storious!" Zagred exclaimed in anger.
"We….won…..!" Licht muttered as he and Lumiere gained stunned expressions on their faces has Zagred completely vanished.
"Thank…..you." Secre said with a relieved expression on her face.
However, it was at that moment that everyone realize something.
"The Devil's magic is still eroding this space! The Shadow Palace is beginning to collapse!" Licht exclaimed as he watched as the blob-like things continue to "eat" the walls.
"We have to get out of here, fast! But everybody else is still….." Yuno thought, gaining a slight panic expression on his face.
"No….! I want to keep sending my magic to the rest of them….but my body is at its limit!" Lumiel said as he felt his stone-like body started to crack more and more.
After a few seconds, the beams of light that Lumiere and Licht have been sending out disappeared.
"The Light just…...EVERYONE!" Saber shouted in a horrified tone of voice.
However, it was at that moment that a black portal appeared above the swordsman of flames and the Golden Dawn wind Mage…..and everyone that have entered the Shadow Palace fell on top of them.
"Saber!" Joyeues said in a startled tone of voice.
"Joyeues! And everybody else! You're okay! That's great!" Saber said in a relieved tone of voice whilst Nozel used his mercury magic to prevent anyone from falling into the blob-like stuff.
"Why are you clinging to me, Baka-Saber?!" The swords-woman of steel exclaimed as she realize how close she is to him.
"Huh?! You're the one that landed on me!" Saber responded, becoming confused.
Espada chuckled at this interaction.
"But who activated the portal?" Yuno asked, becoming confused.
"Both I….and the one I believed in were wretched sinners. I will atone for my sins." A voice spoke just as Valtos and Rades appeared out of another portal.
"You guys….!" Saber said, gaining a shock expression underneath his face.
"Don't get the wrong idea! I haven't been wrong, ever!" Rades said in an aggressive tone of voice.
"Once again, you didn't do a thing here!" Saber exclaimed.
"Shaddup! I'll do stuff the way I want to do it!" Rades shouted in response.
"…..There are still things I must do." Patry thought as an image of William appeared in his head.
It was at that moment that a black slash burst out of the blob-like stuff.
"More enemies!?" Fuegoleon said, hoping that they could leave the Shadow Palace without any trouble.
Briar came out of the opening within the mass of the blob-like things which grabbed onto a floating slab of rock which was followed by Yami and Charla.
"Wow! A lot of people sure have came here." Yami commented as he notice the others.
"Mrs Ogami?! You're here too?" Saber said in a surprised tone of voice.
"My name is Charla, current swordsman of flames." The elf-possessed captain of the Blue Rose said in a slight stern tone of voice.
"Sorry, sorry." Saber said in apologetic tone of voice.
"Amazing. It's a whole crowd of odd spells and people! The Clover Kingdom's in good hand." Lumiel commented with a smile on his face.
"…." Secre became silent whilst having her usual blank expression on her face.
"First things fist. Lets get out of here." Nozel said as he turned his attention towards the door.
Before long, everyone is flying through the dark tunnel.
"Yuno! I'll never leave you again!" Charmy exclaimed as she hug Yuno tightly around the waist.
"No, get away from him, dome-head!" Bell shouted in an annoyed tone of voice.
"Hm? Charmy, you're normal again. You turned into this slim grown-up girl….and actually, you were totally awesome." Saber commented, realizing that the Black Bull cotton Mage is now back into her tiny form.
"La? What are you talking about? I've always been a sexy older girl!" Charmy responded in her usual tone of voice.
"Huh?" Saber said in a confused tone of voice.
"Wait….huh? That was a dream?" Mimosa asked in a confused tone of voice.
"What are they even talking about?" Joyeues thought in a confused tone of voice.
"Excuse me, but are you a Holy Sword wielder?" Lumiel asked, causing Joyeues to turn her head towards the first Wizard King.
"That's right. I am Kamen Rider Joyeues, the swords-woman of steel, and this is Argent-Courrone, the sword of steel." Joyeues introduce herself, causing Lumiel to blink his eye, since one of them has fallen to pieces.
"Steel? I didn't know that there is a Holy Sword of that element." Lumiel commented, causing Licht, who was listening on the conversation, to nod his head in agreement.
"Well, Argent-Courrone is in fact a new Holy Sword." Joyeues responded, making Lumiel surprise.
"Wow! The Sword Of Logos have been busy, forging new swords." The first Wizard King commented, becoming excited.
"Actually…...Wait, who are you? And you?" Joyeues asked, just taking note of Lumiel's and Secre's presence.
"Well….." Lumiel attempted to reply, but couldn't find the right words to say.
"Those two arrived at the start of the final battle, he was very powerful." Saber responded quickly, causing Joyeues to raise an eye-brow underneath her helmet.
"Could you perhaps show more respect towards the prince?" Secre asked, glaring slightly at the swordsman of flames.
"Sorry." Saber said in apologetic tone of voice.
"Prince….? And he's made of stone?!" Mainly everyone thought, becoming confuse before starting to gain the feeling that they have seen Lumiel from somewhere.
"We have more important matters to attend to…." Nozel began to say just as everyone left the Shadow Palace, arriving back to the Royal Capital.
"The elves are still rampaging all over the kingdom, we have to stop them they're still trapped in that warped malice of theirs." The captain of the Silver Eagles said as he and everyone else, who are standing on mercury-made platform, saw explosions all across the capital.
"With Rekka, and most likely with the other Holy Sword, we could purify the malice…..but that won't help with getting the souls of the elves out of the human bodies though…." Saber said, gaining a frown underneath his helmet.
"I might have a solution." Licht said just as he took out a new white sword, this one having a thick, rectangular-shaped blade.
"This sword is called the Demon-Destroyer Sword and it has the ability to cancel the effects of magic." Licht explained, causing the Magic Knights to become surprise.
"Cancel the effects of magic, seriously?!" Espada asked, making the chieftain elf to nod his head.
"Yes. With this sword, we can reverse the effects of the reincarnation spell….but it isn't wise to use this ability repeatedly." Licht said, gaining a small frown on his face.
"…..Captain Vangence did mentioned once that his magic is capable of linking people's souls together. If we manage to find him then we can release the souls of the elves all at once." Yuno explained, causing Patry to flinch whilst Yami gained a frown on his face.
"Actually….William has been my host all this time." Patry said, causing everyone to become shock.
"So there's been another traitor in our midst…." Nozel thought in a slight angry tone of voice.
Patry then turned his attention towards Licht.
"Licht. Please undo my reincarnation." Patry said, making the chieftain elf gain a surprise expression on his face.
"Are you sure?" Licht asked, making Patry nod his head.
"Yes. I may have regrets, but I'm not afraid…..Although simply disappearing here may not be enough of a price to pay for what I have done." Patry explained before glancing towards Rhya, Fana and Vetto.
"I guess that I'm leaving just a head of you guys." Patry said with a smile underneath his helmet.
"Just get everything prepared on the other side, will you?" Ryha asked, causing Party to snort slightly.
It was that moment that Licht pressed the tip of the Demon-Destroyer Sword against Patry's chest where circle covered in runes appeared behind him before disintegrating.
"I was glad I got to fight alongside Licht and the others, here at the end…." Patry thought as he began to leave William's body.
Everyone became silent as they stare at the still body.
After a few seconds, one of William's arm moved towards the Alter-Ride book and closed the cover, causing the armor to disappear.
This cause gasps of shock to occur when everyone saw the burn-like markings on William's face.
"Patry….The lonely soul who has been with me since I was a child. Your anger and grief has come to an end." William thought before turning towards the others.
"I know what needs to be done….but I don't have my Grimoire." William said in a tone of regret.
However, Valtos walked up to the captain of the Golden Dawn, taking out a Grimoire.
"I decided to take before heading towards the capital. I had a feeling that it will be needed at some point." Valtos explained as he handed the Grimoire towards William.
"Thank you." William said before opening his Grimoire.
Everyone watched as William made a seed appear in his hands which started to grow vines.
Licht then placed a hand on William's shoulder just as the Demon-Dweller Sword began to glow.
"I'll draw the linked souls to the great tree and bind them into one." William thought as a giant tree appeared which has multiple glowing lines which are connected to all the elf-possessed Magic Knights.
"Demon-Dweller: Spirit Light Tree, I'll tell everyone the truth." Licht thought as he stared to send the memories of 500 years ago into the elf's head.
"And now to undo the reincarnation spell." Lumiel said as he stab the Demon-Destroyer Sword, who Licht has given him, into the tree.
Lumiel's already breaking body started to shake as the power of the Demon-Destroyer Sword entered the tree before transferring towards the elves.
A pair of hands gripped the sword in order to steady it and when the first Wizard King glanced his head to the side, he saw that it was Secre who is helping him.
All across the Clover Kingdom, the souls of the elves started to leave their human hosts, now purified from the malice.
"W-whoa!" Saber exclaimed, becoming startled as the soul of Floges left his body before materialized in front of him.
"Well. Even though it has been sort, it was a pleasure working beside you." Floges said with a small smile on his face.
"Yeah, you're welcome…" Saber said in a slight awkward tone of voice.
"By the way….how did you inherit Rekka?" Floges asked, causing Saber to blink his eyes underneath his helmet, becoming slightly confused.
"I inherited Rekka from my mum, the previous Saber before me." Saber responded, causing Floges to nod his head slightly.
"Hmm. It's such a nice thing to see that two of my successors are parent and child." Floges commented, causing Saber to nod his head before realize what the elf said.
"W-what did you said?!" Saber asked in a startled tone of voice, becoming shock with Joyeues and Espada becoming shock as well.
"When I was alive, I was a member of the Sword Of Logos along with being Saber of that era." Floges explained as he removed his shawl, revealing the robes of the Sword Of Logos.
"I-I-I've been working alongside the one of my predecessors…..who's also the host of Salamander…." Saber thought, becoming shock.
"Saber…?" Espada asked, starting to become worried as she poke the swordsman of flames.
"Lumiel." Licht said whilst turning his attention towards the first Wizard King, after finishing the conversations with his fellow elves and Yuno.
"I want you to have my swords." The chieftain elf said as he presented the Demon-Dweller Sword and his scabbard, which contains the thick-bladed sword to Lumiel.
"A-are your sure?" Lumiel, who has given the Demon-Destroyer Sword to Secre, asked, becoming surprise.
"Yes, I won't be needing them where I'm going. Tetia is waiting…..for a long time. I was happy to see the possibilities of the idea future that we hopped for." Licht explained, making Lumiere nod his head.
Licht then turned his attention towards the other Magic Knights.
"Thank you...Mages of the current Clover Kingdom." Licht said just as his soul began to leave his body.
And there we go, the battle against Zagred has fully finished and with that the end of the elf invasion. So a final piece of info on Floges has been revealed, him being the swordsman of flames during the events of 500 years ago. Saber's new spell is the fire version of canon Asta's Black Divider which was suggested to me through a review.
So in Geats:
1) The revealment of Neon's origins of being created by the Goddess of Creation started to have it effects with Geats becoming angry and the Kurama family starting to break down with Neon deciding to leave her home for good after she recovered her mother's lost memories and Kousei telling Kyuun how Niram approached him and gave him the offer of using the powers of the Goddess of Creation.
2) Ace surprisingly encounter Kyuun who is unsure about how to approach Neon and say about his true feels, resulting Ace responding that if "nothing" is all he can think of, then Kyuun then might as well go home.
3) With Neon, she suddenly got dragged off to her own match of the bull fighting mission, with Beroba renaming it as a public execution, yet have no fighting spirit, easily getting beaten about by Jamato enemy.
4) With Neon almost on the verge of defeat, Kyuun appeared and halted the Jamato's assault on her before speaking his thoughts and feelings, through a letter, and was on the verge of saying that he isn't worthy of being Neon's supporter, but changed his mind at the last moment.
5) Kyuun, in his Kamen Rider form, and Nago fought together to defeat the Jamato, with Kyuun giving her the "Boost" Raise Buckle, whilst Geats fights a horde of Jamatos.
6) With the DGP's Kamen Riders becoming victories, Daichi asked Beroba about how she'd managed to obtain Neon's origins with her revealing that the Vision Driver is capable of showing memories that past DGP Game Masters have witnessed. When Michinaga is about to leave, Beroba decided to show a certain memory to him, a memory which involves the origin of the Goddess of Creation, her identity being Mitsume, Ace's mother.
The rule for this episode is that the Vision Drivers contain records of the management team's past activities. So this episode certainly revealed another key information about the Goddess of Creation. I did have an idea that Ace is somewhat connected to the Goddess of Creation, which started when he gained the "Boost" Raise Buckle MarkII, but I never imagined that he would be the son of the Goddess of Creation herself, although Geat's white fox motif does hold some connection to the goddess Inari, acting as her messengers, thus hinting at this revealment. With this revealment, I suppose that it explains why Mitsume decided to leave her son, so that he wouldn't be targeted by the executive producer of the DGP, Sueru, in case he may possess other abilities other than reincarnation.
When Ace learns about how his mother is the Goddess of Creation, I'd imagine that he will turn his back on the DGP in order to rescue Mitsume, which in turn will result in the ending of the DGP for good. This possible scenario was hinted during the opening sequence when Tsumuri pointed the Magnum Shooter 40X at Ace's head.
Please review and until next time.
starwing1995: Thanks for a possibly scenario of Desast gaining his Kamen Rider form.
Farhan Nugaha:
1) He won't be the only one, Rin will be sneezing about the the unofficial swordman of wind comment.
2) I saw some episodes in the past, but I haven't fully got into Saint Seiya.
3) I haven't been watching King-Ohger, but I have read pieces of information about the current events. Apart from that, I find the series interesting with how there are two forms of conflict, one against the Earth Empire Bugnarak and Gira attempting to free Shugoddam from Racules's tyrant control.
4) I'm not sure about a movie version, but I'll think about it.
