Appear, the loving dragon and the proud dragon
Saber, Secre and Falchion stared at each other for a few seconds until the two Sword Of Logos Magic Knights dashed towards the swordsman of the void.
The fastest of the two is Saber who swing Rekka at Falchion who blocked the attack with Kyomu, but due to the weight that Saber is putting behind his attack, the swordsman of the void was pushed back.
As Falchion attempted to hold his ground, he notice that Secre was heading straight towards the "Grimoire of Ruin".
"Is she planning on disrupting the ritual?!" Falchion shouted in his head before releasing one on his hands away from the hilt of Kyomu and pointed it towards the "Grimoire of Ruin".
"Huh?!" Secre said in a shock tone of voice as the pages of the Grimoire began to turn before stopping.
The ground underneath the Sword Of Logos sealing Mage started to glow a black colour for a few seconds before skeletal figures began bursting out of the ground.
The appearance of the skeletal figures caused Secre to back away from the "Grimoire of Ruin".
"Tch! The plan was for me to use my sealing magic on the "Grimoire of Ruin", thus ending the ritual that would destroy the two worlds…..hopefully, but things have became more complicated…." Secre thought with a slight annoyed expression on her face whilst a part of her is doubtful if her magic is capable of sealing the magic of an ancient power.
The Sword Of Logos sealing Mage had to focus her thought back onto the battlefield just as on of the skeletal figures attempted to grab her.
In response, Secre transformed into Nero and flew out of the way before zipping between the skeletal figures in order to prevent herself from being surrounded.
"Those skeletons are guarding the "Grimoire of Ruin."…." Nero thought as she noted how some of the skeletal figures are making a small circle around the "Grimoire of Ruin".
"For now. Just focus on these ones." Nero muttered as she look at the closest skeletal figures who are turning their attention towards her, preparing to fire Mana-Bullets at her.
Nero dived towards the ground, to avoid getting hit by the first volley of Mana-Bullets, before starting to fly between the skeletal figures.
As the skeletal figures attempt to hit Nero, they ended up attacking each other instead and breaking a part.
"Attacked by friendly fire." Nero thought, a small smirk appearing on her face.
However, the smirk disappeared when the skeletons started to fix themselves.
"Should have known that simply attacks won't keep them down…" Nero muttered as she hover in the air for a few seconds before starting to move again.
"What the heck are those things?!" Saber exclaimed as he glanced over his shoulders at the group of the skeletal figures that Nero is avoiding.
"Those are the people that once lived in this valley before getting consumed by the dead-like Mana of this Strong Magic Region, transforming them into cursed souls, walking the path of ruin for eternality." Falchion explained as he swing Kyomu a few times, causing Saber to back away to avoid getting hit.
"It will also be the same fate that everyone else will face." Falchion further said as he lunged towards Saber.
"like that would happen!" The swordsman of flames exclaimed as he jabbed his left arm forwards, making the staff-piece of his gauntlet shoot forwards.
"Ghe." Falchion grunted as he got struck in the stomach, causing the swordsman of the void to stumble back.
The swordsman of the flames then charged forwards and swing Rekka at Falchion's sword arm and successful in knocking Kyomu out of his hands.
"Fire Magic: Salamander's Soul Burst!" Saber shouted, coating Rekka within golden flames.
"Salamander?! Like the great spirit of fire?!" Falchion thought in a shock tone of voice.
"Void Ma-" Falchion attempted to cast a spell, but was prevented as Saber swing Rekka downwards, dealing a good amount of damaged towards the swordsman of the void, making Falchion tumble back again.
"Let's do it again! Fire Magic: Salamander's Soul Burst!" Saber announced again, but this time letting the golden flames surround his armor whilst sheathing Rekka into the Seiken Sword-Driver and pressing the trigger twice.
Final Page!
Dragon! Eagle! Saiyuu Journey!
Volume 3 strike: F-F-Fire!
The voice announced just as Saber jumped into the air just the flames started to gather around his stretched out leg, taking the form of a sword.
Falchion watched as Saber's finishing attack headed straight towards him.
An explosion occurred as the attack connected with Falchion.
The swordsman of flames landed on the ground and glanced to where Falchion formerly stood.
"Did…..we win?" Saber thought as he started to become relieved as he saw Kyomu and the Haken Bladriver laying on the ground.
"Now to help Nero fight those skeletal figures and stop the ritual….." Saber muttered before starting to become unsure on how to stop the "Grimoire of Ruin".
It was at that moment that a dark orange feather descended upon the Haken Bladriver, causing flames to erupt.
"W-what the-!?" Saber exclaimed in a shock tone of voice as the flames began to take on a human shape before disappearing, revealing Falchion.
"W-what did you do?!" Saber asked whilst becoming on guard.
"Whilst holding the title of "swordsman of the void", wielders of Kyomu are also known by another title, "the immortal swordsman"." Falchion explained in a calm tone of voice.
"He's immortal?! I guess that makes sense with his main Wonder-Ride book being based on a phoenix." Saber thought, gaining a frown underneath his helmet.
It was at that moment that the Mana started to shake the entire valley whilst the sky became pitch-black just as vortex started to appear.
"What the-?!" Nero said in a shock tone of voice as she saw the "Grimoire of Ruin" flying into the air.
"W-what's happening?!" Saber questioned as the corrupted magic within him started to become more intense.
"Hahahaha! It's already started, the path of ruin!" Falchion exclaimed in a happy tone of voice just as pieces of land started to raise into the air, heading towards the vortex.
"When Wonder World has been consumed by the powers of the "Grimoire of Ruin", it will encroached onto the other world, destroying it as well." Falchion further explained, opening his arms slightly.
"Why are you doing all of this? You were a Magic Knight of the Sword Of Logos, right?" Saber asked, started to become confused.
"Worldly conflicts….are eternal. Why do humans fight each other? For power. Power is the root of all conflicts." Falchion began to explain, making Saber widen his eyes underneath his helmet.
"That's not true!" The swordsman of flames exclaimed, making Falchion shake his head slightly.
"If that's the case, then what do you think we're doing right now?! It's because humanity exists! It's because power exists! It's because the worlds exists! It's because power exists that conflicts are inevitable! That's the legacy of mankind! Humanity will always fail in moving forwards! The true form of existence is the void. For everything was born from nothing….And therefore, all must return to it." Falchion further explained, causing Saber to gulp.
"What happened to you in the past?" The swordsman of flames thought as he grip Rekka tightly whilst attempting to fight off the increasing pain of the corrupted magic.
"If you want to further object. Then first explain to me about the current state of the wretched Clover Kingdom?" Falchion asked, causing Saber to become confused whilst becoming annoyed at the fact that the swordsman of the void called Clover Kingdom "wretched".
"Whilst I was on my way to steal the pages of the "Grimoire of Ruin", I've heard talk about how the now deceased elf tribe attempted to reincarnate into the current era and wipe out the humans. I don't know what happened during the last 1000 years, but I'd expect that humans became jealous of the vast Mana that the elves possessed and decided to wipe them out. If that conflict is caused by power, then tell me an alternative reason as to why that conflict happened?" Falchion asked, making Saber flinched slightly since the swordsman of the void is practically right.
"So. There is no objections to the fact that humans and other races are unable to break the endless cycle of conflicts!" Falchion shouted before lunging towards whilst preparing to swing Kyomu.
In response to avoid the horizontal attack from the unmarked blade, Saber jumped backwards whilst activating his wings.
However, dark orange fiery wings burst out of Falchion's back who then chased after the swordsman of flames.
"Void Magic: Abyssal Phoenix's Feathers!" Falchion announced as his Grimoire opened before creating dark orange feathers which the swordsman of the void then fired at the swordsman of flames.
"There's no point in countering with my spells. The anti-magic quality of void magic will simply bypass them." Saber thought as he managed to dodge the volley of feathers.
A flash of black and orange caught Saber's attention, making him turn his head to the side to see that Falchion has appeared next to him.
"Void Magic: Abyssal Phoenix's Gale Storm." Falchion announced whilst making his fiery wings flap, creating a mix of black and orange winds which slammed into Saber, causing the swordsman of flames to lose his balance within the air.
Taking advantage of the created winds, the swordsman of the void used them to increase his speed, quickly approaching Saber before delivering a few slashes towards him, all of them connecting.
"Gah! Saber exclaimed as he further stumble about in the air.
"And now the final attack…" Falchion muttered before sheathing Kyomu into the Haken Bladriver and pressing the trigger twice.
Finishing Silent Reading!
The voice announced just as dark orange flames started to cover one of Falchion's legs.
"Die." The swordsman of the void said before diving straight towards the swordsman of flames.
When the attack connected, Saber is sent spiraling downwards before crashing onto a floating piece of land.
Falchion gently landed on the same floating piece of land and observe the place where Saber has crashed landed, which is surrounded by smoke.
"There's no chance that the current wielder of Rekka can have survived that." Falchion thought before turning around.
"I should deal with the black hair girl. I have a feeling that her magic can tamper with the "Grimoire of Ruin"." Falchion thought as he glanced upwards towards the Grimoire which is glowing against the darkness of the vortex.
"…..Ow." A voice groaned, causing Falchion's eyes to widened underneath his helmet.
"What?!" Falchion shouted as he turn around just in time to see a silhouette picking himself up off the ground.
"T-that was close." Saber muttered just as the smoke disappeared.
"How did you survive my attack?!" Falchion demanded as he point Kyomu at the swordsman of flames.
"Heh. I guess that just got lucky." Saber responded with a grin underneath his helmet just as the swordsman of the void noticed that Rekka has a mark on it's blade.
"He have used the sword of flames in the attempt to block most of the attack, just receiving the brute force of the attack...he managed to pull that off despite being infected by the magic of the Grimoire of Ruin...That will cause members of the Daishinji family to become angry…." Falchion thought, tilting his head to the side slightly.
"Falchion." Saber said, causing the swordsman of the void to snap out of his thoughts.
"You claim that people aren't capable breaking away from the cycle of conflicts. That isn't true. There are people of benevolence within this world. And if if the world does get consumed with conflicts, then we can strive pass it to create a better future!" Saber said in a determined tone of voice.
Within the skies of Blighted Valley, the "Grimoire of Ruin" began to glow in a different colours.
"Hah! It doesn't matter what you say, everyone's the same!" Falchion said in a mocking tone of voice.
"If that's the case, then I have a lot of work to do when I become the Wizard King." Saber said, not bothered by what Falchion just said.
"Wizard King? What's that?" Falchion asked, causing the swordsman of flames to gain a shock expression underneath his helmet and was able to say something, but stop, remembering how the title of Wizard King was created 500 years after Falchion was sealed.
"Whatever your ambitious are, you have no hope of reaching them! Look at the ground beneath us." The swordsman of the void said, causing Saber to become confuse before glancing over the edge of the floating piece of land, him having crash landed near the edge, and his eyes widened in horror as the land surrounding Blighted Valley has started to become dead-like and quickly expanding.
"This is only the beginning point, but soon everything will return to nothingness." Falchion before removing "Eternal Phoenix" from the Haken Bladriver.
"But first, to end you once and for all." Falchion said as he placed the Wonder-Ride book against the blade of Kyomu.
Eternal Phoenix
The voice announced, causing a standby sound to start playing for a few seconds before Falchion pressed the trigger on Kyoumu.
Infinite Single Strike
The voice announced again and dark orange flames started to surround the blade of Kyomu.
"Now, be the first out of your small group to return to the void. Farewell, Saber, swordsman of flames." Falchion said before swinging Kyomu twice, releasing two energy slashes which head straight towards Saber.
The swordsman of flames attempted to move out of the way, but a wave of pain spread throughout his body.
"The magic of the Grimoire of Ruin just had to interfere." Saber thought, trying not to panic as he stared at the incoming attack.
However, before the attack can connect with the swordsman of flames, something slammed into Falchion's finishing attack, causing a small explosion to occur.
"H-huh?!" Saber said in a shock tone of voice before hearing two roars.
"Those roars….?" Saber thought, recognizing the roars before glancing towards the direction of the roars and his eyes widened when he saw two mechanical dragons that resemble Brave Dragon except that one is white and the other is black.
"Are they relatives of Brave Dragon?" Saber wondered before the "Brave Dragon" Wonder-Ride book started to glow and the red mechanical dragon itself appeared.
Brave Dragon and the two other dragons started to circle around each other.
"What are they doing…..?" Saber muttered confusedly before noticing an object within the middle of the three.
"Is that one of the Wonder-Ride books that the first Wizard King created! Did Brave Dragon just stole it?!" Saber shouted in his head just before the three dragons merged into the Wonder-Ride book which then fell towards Saber who then caught it.
"This is…." Saber muttered as he stared at the two at the newly created Wonder-Ride book which has a red cover along which has an image of three dragon heads, the left being red, the centre being white whilst the right one is black.
Above the three dragon heads is the title "Emotional Dragon".
The swordsman of flames gingerly opened the cover.
"Bravery! Love! Pride! The divine beast with three powers has now arrived!"
The Wonder-Ride book announced before Saber closed the cover and placed it into his Seiken Sword-Driver, whilst removing the three current slotted Wonder-Ride and sheathing Rekka into it as well.
This causing the standby sound to start playing for a few seconds before the swordsman of flames remove Rekka, causing the two Wonder-Ride books to open, revealing the same three dragon head which are physically popping out of the book.
Unsheathe the flames!
The loving dragon! The Valorous dragon! The proud dragon! Emotional Dragon!
Divine Beats, unite! These feelings are overflowing!
Three voices announced just as the three dragons burst out of "Emotional Dragon" before circling around the swordsman of flames before merging with him.
Saber's new form consists the right side being his regular Brave Dragon side, the middle section having a white dragon's head as the chest piece along with having a white strip that is attached underneath the Seiken Sword-Driver as well has two cloth-like pieces attached to his back and his left side involves a black dragon's head as a shoulder guard, a black trench-coat piece and large shield on his left arm.
"Whoa! So cool!" The swordsman of flames exclaimed in his head as he examined his newly gained Emotional Dragon form along with feeling that the corrupted magic of the Grimoire of Ruin has disappeared.
With Falchion, the swordsman of the void has a stunned expression underneath his helmet at what just has happened.
"Even with the worlds on the verge of collapsing to ruin, the current Saber gained a new power from the very same Grimoire that is causing the destruction!" Falchion thought, knowing where the white and black dragons have came from.
"It doesn't matter if you somehow managed to gain a new form, you and your allies will all die!" Falchion shouted as fiery, dark orange wings sprouted out of his back which he then used to lunge towards the swordsman of flames.
With quick reflexes, Saber raised his left arm, letting Kyomu strike the shield instead.
The swordsman of flames pushed the unmarked sword away from him and attempted to strike the swordsman of the void with Rekka.
However, Falchion managed to move out of the sword's reach.
"Hmmm. This will be a problem with fighting with…." Saber thought as he glanced at the shield.
"Void Magic: Abyssal Phoenix's Vortex." Falchion announced, causing the ground underneath Saber to gain a rippling texture for a few seconds before a burst of black/orange Mana came out of it, consuming the swordsman of flames.
"….." Falchion became silent as he watch his spell attacking Saber.
Emotional Dragon!
A voice suddenly announced and the three dragons burst out of Falchion's spell with Saber riding Brave Dragon.
"Now then, Falchion! Let's finish this!" Saber shouted as he point Rekka at the swordsman of the void, a new source of Mana flowing through his body.
And there we go, the battle to save the two worlds from destruction continues with Saber gaining his Emotional Dragon form. Falchion is surely going to receive emotional damage from Saber.
So in Geats:
1) Beroba decided to agree with handing over the Vision Drivers, but not before visiting the Goddess of Creation with Kekera where the two of them requested the Goddess of Creation to grant their desires. Neon has been reading messages which contain her fan's worries about her absence before getting confronted by Kyuun.
2) An extra phase for the Desire Royale starts where Neon told Kiewa and Sara, whilst Michinaga hunts for them, that the Desire Royale will end without having a victor, causing Kiewa to become angry. The three of them are then discovered by Michinaga who then fight them and managed to defeat Neon and Sara, destroying their ID Cores, thus preventing them from becoming Kamen Riders again.
3) Niram approached Zin to reclaim the Vision Drivers, but realized he was set up so that Ace can met the Goddess of Creation again, but before he could talk to her, Ace was stopped by Sueru who explained how the Grand End will see the DGP gone and commented how the Goddess of Creation is a tool to make desires into reality. Ace became angry at this and when Sueru made a Desire for a world without Ace to exist, it was rejected as the Goddess of Creation is starting to crack with Sueru stating that she has reached her limits.
4) Back with the Desire Royale, Buffa managed to overwhelm Tycoon and was on the verge of destroying Tycoon's ID Core, but was stopped by PunkJack who then invited the two of them plus Ace, who got teleported away by Sueru, and told the three of them about his findings in the DGP database which revolves around how a navigator prayed for three days and three nights, when desiring a forbidden love, resulting in her giving birth along with gaining the powers to reforge the world.
5) Sueru starts the Grand End and Niram commented his worries about leaving the Goddess of Creation to fade away, but Sueru responded how they already have an inheritor for the Goddess of Creation's power. Ace appeared, keen on stopping the Grand End and saving his mother, before starting to battle Gazer. Whilst this is going on, the Goddess of Creation began to "weep" resulting in Geats into loosing his composer, leading him to get easily getting beaten by Gazer. The Goddess of Creation then starts to crumble into little pieces, with one broken piece acting as a "tear", causing Ace to become angry, somehow resulting in a Raise Buckle to suddenly metalized on his Desire Driver and transforming him to Geats BoostMKIII. Gazer became shock at this and attack Geats, but the attack was easily destroyed.
The rule for this episode is that all technology used by Kamen Riders is solely developed and overseen by the management team (With no exception) along with a additional rule being that it is forbidden for a player and the navigator to enter a intermediate relationship. This episode revealed that there is a limit to the reality-warping ability of the Goddess of Creation, although there is a question with how long this power can last until the Goddess of Creation/Mitsume reaches her limit since Mitsume has been the Goddess of Creation for 2000 years. With how Sueru commented that he already found a inheritor for the Goddess of Creation's powers, I think it's obvious that he's talking about Tsumuri due to how she'd managed to resurrect Ace after his elimination. The episode further revealed about Ace's birth with his father being a victor of the DGP in the past, this could lead to the idea that Ace's roman coin could have belonged to his father before his own disappearance. I'm a bit confused about the part where Mitsume prayed for 3 days and 3 nights, is that supposed to represent something? So it's goodbye for Nago until a future episode, most likely the final episode.
Please review and until next time.
Farhan Nugraha:
1) That makes sense for Levithan to be Noelle's role moral. Noelle's insulting spree will likely cause Paladin Acier to ask Lucius if he could erase Levithan's soul rather than purify it.
2) When that happens, then Zora will certainly be keen on making friends with Jeremy when he starts to make the insulting comments towards the upper-class.
3) who knows...but god help that person's poor soul.
