Let the ritual begin
"First a jungle and now this." Noelle muttered, shivering slightly as she glanced at the area that she and the rest of the Sword Of Logos Magic Knights are travelling though which can be described as the land of the dead on closer expectation.
"You're scared, aren't you, Noelle-chan." Rin said with a grin on her face as she glanced over her shoulder.
"H-how dare you accuse me, royalty, of being scared!" Noelle responded in angry tone of voice.
This simply caused the wielder of Hayate to laugh slightly.
This in turn caused Noelle to growl in response
"According to the books I read about the Blighted Valley, the state of the land is caused by the Mana, making it unsuitable land to live on." Donna explained as she glanced towards a tree which is on the verge of death.
"Thus making it a place of bad omen?" Rintaro guessed, making the wielder of Ikazuchi to nod her head slightly.
"So where Falchion would be then?" Asta asked, becoming curious.
"There are parts within Strong Magic Regions where the Mana is of higher quantities than the other areas of the Strong Magic Region, Falchion will likely be at one of those places." Tetsuo explained, making the wielder of Rekka nod his head in response.
"I'll go and search from above." Secre said before transforming into Nero and flying into the air.
"So….did this place used to have a civilization before it transformed into….this?" Asta asked, becoming curious.
"Could be before it became uninhabitable. I didn't read anything that said that people lived here. It would have been unpleasant though for the people to their homeland getting transformed into a wasteland." Donna responded with a grim expression on her face, making Asta gulp slightly.
"Can we please focus on the mission rather than talking about the history of this place." Noelle thought, shivering slightly.
Thankfully for the silver hair girl, Nero returned.
"How did the search went?" Ryo asked, hopping that it would be good news.
"I noticed lights in that direction." Nero explained as she transformed into her human form and point in a direction.
It was at that moment that the Sword Of Logos Magic Knights felt the Mana in the air shifting and black clouds are slowly starting to gather in the air above Blighted Valley.
"Gah!" Asta exclaimed as a nauseous feeling went over his body.
"Asta!?" Donna exclaimed, she and everyone else becoming alert.
"I think...Falchion has started...to use the Grimoire of Ruin..." Asta responded in a pained tone of voice, feeling the corrupted magic of the Grimoire of Ruin within him growing.
"We must hurry!" Ryo said before starting to run, causing the others to do the same with Donna and Rintaro aiding Asta.
A few minutes later, they are making their way across a rocky field of some sorts when something suddenly grabbed one of Noelle's legs.
"Ghhaaaa!" The silver hair girl exclaimed in fear as she stared at the thing that grabbed her leg….a skeletal arm.
With quick reflexes, Rin severed the skeletal arm.
"Are you okay, Noelle?!" Donna asked as she took hold of Noelle just in case she fell.
"W-what was that?!" Noelle asked as she stared at the skeletal arm.
Her answer came in the form of multiple skeletal-like figures, who are wearing ripped pieces of clothing, suddenly bursting out of the ground.
"What the heck?!" Asta exclaimed as he and everyone got into a battle stance whilst forming a circle.
"Whilst Blighted Valley is the birth place of the "Grimoire of Ruin", it's also a burial place of cursed souls." A voice spoke, causing everyone to turn in the direction of the voice to see Ghost Phoenix and Silent Siren standing some distance away.
"Where is Falchion?" Ryo asked, noticing that the third member of the trio is missing.
"You don't have to be concerned with him. He's busy with bringing the two worlds to ruin." Silent Siren said with an evil smirk on her face.
"We won't let you!" Secre said in a determined tone of voice.
This simply caused Silent Siren to scoff.
"And how are you planning on doing that will an army of the undead surrounding you?" Silent Siren asked whilst raising her arms into the air slightly.
"How about the good old fashion way for the Sword Of Logos." Tetsuo responded as he took out "Bramen Rock Band" Wonder-Ride books whilst the others, apart from Secre, did the same with Saber, Blades and Espada taking out their full Wonder Combo Wonder-Ride books and Noelle took out "Valkyrie's Legacy".
"Suit yourselves. But it won't help you." Ghost Phoenix said whilst shrugging his shoulders as the Magic Knights, apart from Secre again, don their armor.
"Right! Saber, Secre. You two fight Falchion whilst the rest of us deal with the two Megids and this army of the undead." Buster explained as he gripped Gekido tightly.
This caused everyone to nod their heads.
However, Blades snorted slightly.
"Does the army of the undead remind you four of the undead army that attacked the Royal Capital?" Blades asked Saber, Espada, Joyeues and Secre, remembering the attack which marks the existence of the Eye Of The Midnight Sun.
"Yes, although I want to forget that…." Espada said in a slight grim tone of voice.
This caused Blades to chuckle sheepishly.
"Enough talking, let's get this party started!" Slash pointed out, making everyone nod their heads.
Back within the Clover Kingdom, Sophia is overseeing the Magic Knights that she managed to temporary recruit from the other Sword Of Logos branches.
"Good. At this rate, the repairs to this town will be-" Sophia began to thought but stop when she sensed something, making the captain of the Sword Of Logos tense before glancing up at the sky that is covered in clouds.
"I wonder how the others are doing?" Sophia thought starting to become worried.
"Come on, come on, come on! Keep up with the beat!" Slash called in an excited tone of voice as he fired Mana-Bullets at the incoming skeletal figures.
"Hmmm, despite being skeletons, they're pretty durable…..Or is it due to the curses that surround them?" Slash thought as he sensed dark Mana surrounding the skeletal figures.
The small sounds of "swishing" caught Slash's attention, causing him to turn his head to the side to see skeletal figures wielding swords.
"So your playing along your own beat!" Slash shouted in an excited tone of voice just as a few of the sword-wielding skeletal figures swing their swords, releasing arcs of cursed Mana.
"Whoa!" Slash exclaimed as he managed to dodge the attacks. Whilst the swordsman of sound dodge the attacks, some of the skeletal figures charged forwards.
"Hold up! Hold up! I know that you're excited, but one at a time!" Slash exclaimed as he began to move backwards along with firing Mana-Bullets from Sezune, creating some space between him and the skeletal figures that he is fighting.
"Lets try this! Music Creation Magic: Melodious Quartet!" Slash yelled, using his magic to create human-like figures, who are holding the instruments are molded on the Slash's left arm.
"Let get this party really started! Yeah!" The swordsman of sounds shouted in an excited tone of voice…..as he remained where he stood, since the spells requires a lot Mana to maintain it.
"Slash seemed to be enjoying himself." Buster thought whilst sweat-dropping since he and the swordsman of sounds are located far away from each other.
"But I need to focus on these guys." The swordsman of the earth muttered before swinging Gekido, cutting an incoming skeletal figure.
"Earth Creation Magic: Black Tortoise's Bullet Shells!" Buster announced before firing multiple shell-shaped bullets, knocking a few skeletal figures towards the ground.
"Let's change things, shall we." Buster muttered as he took out "Genbu Shinwa" from the slot on Gekido and replacing it with the "Jackun-to-Domamenoki" Wonder-Ride book.
Before long, the swordsman of the earth's left arm is clad in a grey and green gauntlet.
"Its been a while since I last used this Wonder-Ride book." Buster thought as he gave his left arm a quick glance before returning his attention back to the skeletal figures whilst producing a vine-like whip from the newly equipped gauntlet.
Elsewhere on the battlefield, lighting danced around Espada as she fight the skeletal figures that came charging towards her.
"These skeletal figures are a bit more active than the corpses that Rades controlled." The Golden Alangina formed Espada thought as she blocked an attack from a sword-wielding skeletal figure before tripping it.
When the sword-wielding skeletal figure crashed onto the ground, Espada drive Ikazuchi into it's neck, effectively severing off it's head.
The swords-woman of lighting noticed a light from the corner of her vision, causing Espada to quickly jump back just in time to avoid getting struck by Mana-Bullets, fired by a couple of skeletal figures.
"Seriously?! They can fire Mana-Bullets?!" Espada thought as her eyes widening underneath her helmet just before diving to the side to avoid getting hit by another volley of Mana-Bullets.
"If that's your game….then bring it." The swords-woman of lighting thought as her Grimoire began to glow.
"Lighting Creation Magic: Lighting Genie's Lamp Buster." Espada announced, creating her lamp-styled long-range weapon in her free hand.
"And my next spell, Lighting Creation Magic: Lighting Genie's Thief's Boots." Espada announced before starting to run, her speed increasing thanks to her spell.
The swords-woman of lighting ran in a circular motion around the Mana-Bullet firing skeletal figures, using her own long-range weapon to fight back.
However, things started to change when a third skeletal figure appeared next to the two and created a barrier to protect them.
"Oh you got to be kidding me!" Espada shouted in her head, becoming angry as she saw her bullets hitting the barrier instead.
Espada stopped running to think of a solution to this situation, but movement caught her attention, causing the swords-woman of lighting turn her head towards the direction of the movement and jumped out of her skin as she saw that it was the same sword-wielding skeletal figure that she cut off it's head just a few minutes ago.
"I guess that I need to completely destroy the skel-!" Espada thought before getting cut off as the Mana-Bullet firing skeletal figures starting to attack again with one of the bullets managing to hit one of her capes.
"More importantly, keep moving!" Espada thought in a shock tone of voice as she stare at the damage on her cape-piece which is slowly spreading across the rest of the cape.
"Come and face the blade known as Nagare!" Blades called as he got into a battle stance as the skeletal figures charge towards him.
With quick sword slashes, the swordsman of water cut down the incoming enemies.
It was at that moment that Blades notice a light from the corner of his vision, causing him to turn his head to the side just as a few skeletal figures firing Mana-Bullets towards him.
"Water Creation Magic: Water Lion's Barrier." Blades announced, creating the lion-shaped shield in front of him and due to him being in his Volume 3 form, the shield caused the Mana-Bullets to reflect back towards the skeletal figures.
However, a suddenly skeletal figure appeared in front of them and created a shield, causing the reflected Mana-Bullets to hit it instead.
"Hmph. These are tricky opponents." Blades thought whilst getting slightly annoyed.
"Time to be creative." Blades muttered before activating the power of the "Tenku No Pegasus" Wonder-Ride book, letting him fly through the air.
The swordsman of water quickly circle around the protected skeletal figures just before his Grimoire started to turn it's pages.
"Water Magic: Aqua Bullets." Blades announced, firing water-made bullets which successfully destroyed the skeletal figures.
"Now. Whose next?" Blades asked as he landed on the ground and glanced at the other skeletal figures who seemed to be glancing at each other.
"What's going on?" Blades thought, starting to become on edge.
His answer came in the form of the skeletal figures suddenly breaking into separate pieces, including the ones that Blades has already have cut down.
The swordsman of water stared as the bones started to merge together, forming one large skeletal figure.
"Huh….." Blades isn't sure what to say as he stared at the four arms that the large skeletal figure possessed before it started to attack him, firing multiple Mana-Bullets.
"Whoa! These are more faster!" Blades exclaimed as he dived to the side before starting to run around the large skeletal figure, trying to find some sort weak point.
"I try targeting the arms the first. Without those, it won't be able fire those Mana-Bullets…..which I have the feeling that I shouldn't touch at all costs." Blades thought as he started to gain a bad feeling at the Mana-Bullets that are still getting fired towards him.
The swordsman of water started to run towards one of the large skeletal figure's arms in a zig-zag manner.
Seeing how Blades is running straight towards it, the large skeletal figure stopped firing Mana-Bullets and aimed a punch towards the swordsman of water.
"What is that thinking? It practically giving me the opportunity to slice it's arms off." Blades thought in a confused tone of voice as he closed the distance between him and the skeletal figure.
The swordsman of water dropped towards the ground, feet first, and wrapped his left hook-piece around the large skeletal figure's arm.
"And now to cut the arm." Blades muttered as he prepared to swing Nagare.
However, the large skeletal figure suddenly jerked the wrapped up arm upwards, sending Blades flying upwards.
"Whoa!" Blades exclaimed as he activate "Tenku No Pegasus" again, preventing from flying away any further.
"Fweh! That was a close one." Blades muttered whilst sighing in relief.
"I guess that I need to rethink my strategy." Blades thought as he stared down at the large skeletal figure's head which is composed of multiple skulls.
"There is no victory for you. If the swordsman of water couldn't beat me in his Volume 2 form along with having two of his fellow squad members, along with having the attribute advantage, then you have no chance." Ghost Phoenix said as he stare at Kenzan.
"Hmph! Let's see about that, shall we?" Kenzan said as she got into a battle stance.
"Why I'm I even fighting this Megid in the first place? Joyeues and Blades would have been better choices." Kenzan thought as she think back to the start of the battle.
As the Sword Of Logos Magic Knights charged into battle, Joyeues made a bee-line straight towards Silent Siren, this caused the others to start wondering if the swords-woman of steel is still anger at the siren-themed Megid or Silent Siren has cast a hidden spell on Joyeues back at the Dungeon.
"I should probably stop right there!" Kenzan thought whilst shaking her head, not wanting her thoughts to wander into…..that sort of area.
With Blades, the swordsman of water had began to make his way towards Ghost Phoenix, but the Phoenix-themed Megid was quicker, teleporting in front of Kenzan before teleporting the two of them to a different part of the battlefield.
"If you're just going to stand there, then prepare to die!" Ghost Phoenix shouted as he disappeared in a burst of feathers.
The swords-woman of the winds reacted quickly as she jumped back just as Ghost Phoenix appeared in front of her whilst swinging one of his feather-shaped swords.
"This guy has a teleportation ability along with his fire attribute. This may be a bit tricky." Kenzan thought just as Ghost Phoenix disappeared before reappearing behind the swords-woman of the winds.
Thanks to her Ki reading ability, Kenzan quickly turned around and blocked the incoming attack with one of the blades of Hayate before swinging the other blade at Ghost Phoenix.
However, the Phoenix-themed Megid blocked the second blade with his own secondary blade.
Despite this, a smirk appeared underneath Kenzan's helmet just as her Grimoire began to glow.
"Wind Magic: Wind Ninja's Air Force!" Kenzan announced, causing a gust of wind to appear, sending Ghost Phoenix skidding back.
When the Phoenix-themed Megid managed to stop himself, he'd opened his wings before firing flame-covered feathers at Kenzan.
"Wind Magic: Wind Ninja's Sky Walk." Kenzan announced before creating soulified-air platforms to run on to avoid getting hit by the flame-covered feathers.
Ghost Phoenix watched as Kenzan began to circle around him.
"I don't think so." Ghost Phoenix commented before firing a ball of flames from his beak.
Thankfully, Kenzan somehow managed to avoid getting hit by the fast moving attack by diving forwards.
However, this left her in a vulnerable position just as Ghost Phoenix appeared above the swords-woman of the winds before swinging one of his feather-shaped swords downwards.
"Wind Magic: Wind Ninja's Substitute!" Kenzan announced quickly, creating a clone of herself which took the hit instead.
The swords-woman of the winds hit the ground instead before quickly scrambling onto her feet.
"Let's try something different." Kenzan muttered as she brought the twin blades of Hayate back together before remove "Sarutobi Ninjaden" from the slot before replacing it with "Heavenly Garuda".
Ghost Phoenix watched as Kenzan's left side changed.
"Shall we continue?" Kenzan asked with a smirk underneath her helmet.
"If you're that eager to die, then go ahead." The Phoenix-themed Megid responded simply before Kenzan lunged towards him.
When Kenzan was about to land a sword attack on Ghost Phoenix, he activated his teleportation ability, disappearing from Kenzan's view.
"That ability again." Kenzan thought as she touched the ground.
"Where will he appear?" The swords-woman of the winds questioned herself as she remained still.
It was then that Kenzan sensed a Ki appearing right behind and the scarf-piece suddenly moved, jabbing Ghost Phoenix a few times before wrapping itself around one Megid's legs. Kenzan herself then spin around and attack Ghost Phoenix herself.
However, the Phoenix-themed Megid managed to block the attack.
"You have to do better then attacking me with some piece of cloth." Ghost Phoenix commented as he put pressure behind his swords.
"Heh. I'm a battle fanatic, I don't want things to be boring." The swords-woman of the winds explained, causing Ghost Phoenix to blink his eyes a few times before shooting a fireball straight at Kenzan's face.
"Heheheh! I didn't realize that you're that eager to fight me! You even wearing a new armor!" Silent Siren said with a wide smile on her face as she face against Joyeuse in her Valkyrie's Legacy form.
"Shut up, will you." The swords-woman of steel said in an annoyed tone of voice as she jab Argent-Couronne forwards.
Unfortunately, Silent Siren waved her arm in a circular motion, producing water which took the shape of a shield, causing Argent-Couronne to strike it instead.
However, the Siren-themed Megid noticed that ripples are spreading across the surface of the shield.
"That form of hers gives her a boost of Mana." Silent Siren thought as a small frown appeared on her face.
Whilst the Silent Siren was thinking, Joyeues spun around the Siren-themed Megid, surprising her.
"Ghe!" Silren Siren exclaimed as Joyeues's attack struck her.
"And an increase of mobility…." Silent Siren muttered as she place a hand over place where the swords-woman of steel struck her.
"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Spikes." Joyeues announced as she created water-made spikes around her, all pointing towards Silent Siren.
"I know that it's pointless casting spells since we have the same attribute, but Valkyrie's Legacy increased the power-level, so I may deal some damage." Joyeues thought as she prepared to launch her attack towards Silent Siren.
However, the Siren-themed Megid was quicker, launching a scream from her mouth.
"Gha!" Joyeues exclaimed as she cover her ears in the attempt to block out the noise.
This also caused the water-made spikes to loose their form.
"Too bad, it seems that you were too slow~" Silent Siren said with a smirk on her face.
"Why you…" Joyeues said in a low tone of voice.
It was at that moment that the Siren-themed Megid turn around and began to run.
"H-hey! Where do you think you're going!?" Joyeues shouted, becoming surprise before chasing after Silent Siren, flying slightly over the ground.
"~To a secret place, dear~" Silent Siren said in a seductive tone of voice as she glanced over shoulder, making Joyeues shiver whilst becoming creep out.
However, this also caused her to slow down for a few seconds before increasing her speed again, chasing after Silent Siren who has disappeared through a cluster of large rocks which are sticking up out of the ground.
When the swords-woman of steel flew over the rocks, she began to pale underneath her helmet when she saw what is on the other side.
"Great! Now she's has the advantage!" Joyeues thought as she stared at the lake, which has a purple tint to it.
"….." The swords-woman of steel stared at the water, attempting to see Silent Siren through the water.
However, she couldn't see anything.
"I guess that I need to get closer….." Joyeues thought, not liking this idea but it's the only idea that she has at the moment.
The swords-woman of steel flew down until she's close to the water's surface and began to stare down, attempting to see any sort of movements.
"I should fly up before she decided to throw a sneak attac-!" Joyeues began to thought but was cut off as Silent Siren suddenly appeared directly underneath her.
The swords-woman of steel attempted to move out of the way, but couldn't as Silent Siren's arms shot out of the water and hugged Joyeues as she drag her down into the water.
Joyeues managed to free herself from Silent Siren's embrace and attempted to fly towards the surface, but was prevented as more arms grabbed her legs, causing her to look down to see some of Silent Siren's replicas.
"Oh no, dear. You're not escaping me. We have all the time in the world down here~" Silent Siren said with a seductive smirk on her face, making Joyeues pale slightly just as more replicas began to swim around the both of them.
"The preparations are going smoothly." Bahato muttered as he stared at glowing text on the "Grimoire of Ruin".
"Bahato!" A voice shouted, causing the wielder of Kyomu to turn towards the source of voice to see Saber flying towards him with Nero flying beside him.
"So managed to make just in time for the destruction of the two worlds." Bahato commented with a small smirk on his face just as Saber landed on the ground and Nero transformed back into Secre, surprising Bahato slightly.
"That won't happen, we will stop you." Secre said in a determined tone of voice.
"You're too late for stopping the ritual, can you feel it?" Bahato questioned, referring to how the dead-feeling Mana has been building up and the sky has become more darker.
"That hasn't stopped us in the past." Saber responded as he raised Rekka. This simply caused Bahato to scoff.
"Then by all means..." The wielder of Kyomu began to say as he took out "Eternal Phoenix" out of one of his pockets before placing it within the Haken Bladriver, making the standby sound start to play for a few seconds before unsheathing Kyomu.
Unsheathe!
Eternal Phoenix!
Void! The jet black sword returns to nothing!
The voice announced just as the dark orange phoenix burst of it's Wonder-Ride book before merging with Bahato, transforming him into Kamen Rider Falchion.
"Face me and fall to the sword known of the unmarked blade!" Falchion stated as he point Kyomu towards Saber and Secre.
And there we go, the ritual that marks the starting point of ruin has begun with everyone, apart from Secre and Saber, fighting individually where Falchion, Ghost Phoenix and Silent Siren are joined by the cursed souls of Blighted Valley.
In Black Clover, the battle against Noelle and Acier starts with Noelle launching a power-up version of "Sea Dragon Roar". The battle switches back to Yuno and Lucius who seemed to have the upper-hand in the fight, but before could gain control over Yuno's soul, Yuno activated a new spell, "Wind Spirit Creation Magic: Spirit of Notos" and seemed to have gained increased speed. Lucius started to commented how the current events are different from what foresaw, thus realizing that he cannot see this timeline's future, which has been influenced by Asta. Yuno then managed to deal a fatal blow at Lucius.
So despite not being present, Asta is already having an impact on the final battle where Lucius isn't able to see the outcome. I think that this was foreshadowed back when Lucius commented that he didn't foresaw a being born without Mana. I just noticed how Adramelech hasn't made his apperance in the final battle, so with Yuno managing to land a critical attack on Lucius, Adramelech may make a move, or something else will happen that will change the course of the battle until Asta, his Hino allies and the rest of the Black Bulls enter the battle. A likely scenario could involve the time Devil Astaroth who somehow managed to manifest himself through Lucius.
In Geats:
1) As Niram started the preparations for the DGP to disappear, he gave Win a task which involves Ace. With Baffa and the Dunkleosteus Jamato, the two fought where the Jamato revealed that Baffa's power, granted through the Goddess of Creation, is only effective towards other Kamen Riders, meaning that he's about to beat Baffa with ease before taking away all the collected ID Cores.
2) Whilst Sara and Noen have a conversation, with Keiwa listening, Niram approached Zin and told him that the Grand End is approaching before requesting Zinn's assistance in becoming a negotiator in dealing with a "problematic support". Zin agreed, but on the condition that Niram's tells him about what happened to Mitsume, with Niram's response being that they(?) are looking into that as well. Ace is approached by Win, him having been warned by Michinaga about how Archimedel is growing more Jamatos, who explained how the DGP is leaving and all DGP-related memories will disappear before revealing how admin allowed Win to tell Ace about Mitsume.
3) Beroba and Kekera gave the offer of resurrecting all the defeated Jamatos if Archimedel fights Sara, and possibly kill her, in order to morph Kiewa into a proper Kamen Rider. Neon explained to Sara how she was created through the Goddess of Creation and what her current desire is, shocking the Sara who then disappeared before getting approached by Kiewa who questioned Neon about what is she planning on doing next, with her saying how Kyuun offered the opportunity to live in the future.
3) Ace informed Michinaga that Win has returned before commenting on Baffa's anti-hero role, explaining how him defeating the other Kamen Riders will result in them returning to their original lives rather than them getting killed by the Jamato, thus saving them/teaching idiots a lesson. With the third phase of the mission starting, Sara is targeted by the Dunkleoustues Jamato and getting attacked, leading to Tycoon revealing himself before managing to escape with Nago's aid which leads to Baffa and Geats fighting the Jamatos, with Geats taking advantage of Baffa's invincibility against other Kamen Riders to launch a surprise attack on the Dunkleoustues Jamato before managing to defeat him.
4) With Beroba and Kekera, the two of them are approached by Zin who informed them that the Grand End is starting, saying how the audience members who don't go through the gate will cease to exit when the Grand End happens, along with requesting for Beroba to hand over the Vision Driver in her possession.
The rule for this episode is that audience members travel to the various time periods through a 4-diemsional gate. So with Grand End happening, it looks like the series is slowly approaching it's finale and in the next episode's preview, it shows Geats gaining a new form, yet still unnamed. This is very likely the first phrase of his final form since there are images of a different/upgraded version of the final form where it is called Geats IX. Geats's final form also equips him with a sword/railgun weapon known as Geats Buster QB9. Overall, I really liked the design of this white nine-tailed fox theme final form with the pure white coloring and hints of red.
The name for the firth Reiwa Kamen Rider has been revealed, Kamen Rider Gotchard. I'd looked around and some people commented how the name is a combination of "Gacha" and "card". What do you guys think?
Please review and until next time.
niHoward576:
1) With the starting of the ritual, Asta's suffering due to the Grimoire of ruin will start and with Noelle, she certainly going on a rampage in killing Silent Siren...Although the Megid has started to make some mature comments towards her.
2) Indeed, Nebra and Solid do have bad luck, especially they are receiving emotional damage from the Paladin version of their mother. With Noelle's new spell, which is kind of a subtle way of replacing the lost Saint Stage of Udine, whilst I'm looking forward to see what it's fully capable of, I'm not sure about how revealing it is.
3) Yep, Daichi certainly is good at fooling people...but receives double the damage when he get caught out. With what's happening now, it would seem that it will soon become a race against time for Ace to rescue his mother before the Grand End starts and the DGP leaves for a new era.
4) Thank you. A running gag of the story will be Noelle making her usual insect comments...yet accidentally towards the five nations and Asta attempting to apologize on her behalf whilst Sukehiro will be making comments how Jack and Hymeno will make a good pair, along with giving nicknames to the rulers of the five kingdoms such as "Yellow Mantis" and "Black Bee".
Brave Kid: Thank you.
TheOkWriter: Falchion performed a finisher move in the previous chapter.
Farhan Nugraha:
1) I was thinking the same thing when I read the name of Noelle's new partner. You can imagine the conversation that the Inner-Demon Levithan and the Sea God Levithan will have, one being sarcastic whilst the other being edgy.
2) Since Jeremy Brasier is a human/Bugnarak hybrid, the Black Clover version of Spider Kumonos could be an OC that has been taking in by the Witch Queen due to their hybrid nature, with the Witches Forest acting as the resting place for God Tarantula.
3) When Evility Live starts her insult spree, I can imagine the Paladin version of Acier making comments that this is the result of her not being a part of Noelle's/Levithan's lives or saying that Mereoleone is a bad role model for Noelle.
4) The thought has crossed my mind once a while back, but haven't got around to watch it I'm afraid.
