Appear! The armored-clad dragon and the lion who sits on top of the throne
Asta gingerly reached for the Wonder-Ride book and his hand touched it, the light disappeared, letting the ash-white hair teen to properly see the image which shows Brave Dragon being ridden knight-like figure. The two of them are underneath the title of "Dragonic Knight".
Everyone watched as Asta then opened the cover of newly created Wonder-Ride book.
The dramatic battles of an experienced knight riding with extreme style on an enormous dragon.
"Dragonic Knight" announced before Asta closed the cover.
He then remove the three red-boarded Wonder-ride books, along with sheathing Rekka, before placing "Dragonic Knight" into the God-Beast slot, making the standby sound to start playing for a few seconds until Asta took Rekka out of the Sieken Sword-Driver, not just causing the cover to open, but also two side-panels slide out, covering the other two slots.
"Henshin!" Asta shouted before swinging Rekka twice, causing a fiery X to appear in front of him.
Unsheathe the flames!
Don't miss it!
The knight appears!
When you side, you have no grief and the flame is bright!
The metallic armor!
The stylistic booster!
Ride on, dragon! Fight!
The dauntless Rider!
Dragonic Knight!
In other words, it's the strongest!
"Dragonic Knight" announced, cladding Asta in a mostly silver amour, which includes a silver metallic trench-coat. The X-shaped visor is straight rather than being curved and done in deep red along with some red-lining in places. On Saber's left arm is an added gauntlet-like piece which takes the form of a red dragon's head. His Grimoire has also started to glow.
Everyone stared at Asta's new form.
"It's silver?! Hmph, it must has been influenced by me." Noelle thought in a slight haughty tone of voice, yet still as an awe of amazement around her.
"So the boy's power-up form is still based on a dragon yet being silver in colour, why can't this be applied to "Storm Eagle"?!" Nozel thought, still annoyed at this fact, yet becoming interested at what this form can do.
"Oh my!" Mimosa said before starting to blush slightly as her head started to fill with fantasies which involves the silver-clad Saber.
"So Asta managed to gain new power-up form, but that Mana…." Donna thought, she starting to recognized the Mana as well.
"So you managed to obtain a new power from that lost girl. However, it won't help you in the slightest!" Calibur said before swinging Kurayami, releasing an arc of Demonic-enhanced darkness.
"Fire Creation Magic: Flame Dragon's Metallic Shield!" Saber announced, causing a shield to appear in front of him which has a dragon's head set in the centre, made from silver-coloured flames.
When Calibur's attack struck the shield, it immediately bounced off it, flying back towards Calibur, yet being coated with silver flames.
The swordsman of darkness raised Kurayami in order to block the returning attack, but the impact caused him to stagger back.
"It won't help me? I'll show what this new form of mine can do!" Saber said in a determined tone of voice as he point at Calibur with Rekka.
"Very well, show me what that form can do." Calibur said before charging towards Saber, sword at the ready.
The swordsman of flames remained where he stood just as the swordsman of darkness came closer and swing Kurayami.
However, Saber didn't seemed effected as the gold-bladed sword struck him.
"Has this form gave him a boost in defence?!" Calibur thought in a surprised tone of voice.
Saber then swing Rekka, knocking Kurayami to the side before dealing multiple sword attacks at Calibur, causing his body to shake slightly.
"How powerful is that new form?!" Noelle exclaimed in her head, her eyes widening.
"How are you feeling, Noelle?" A voice asked, causing the silver hair girl to look up see Nozel.
"I'm okay... I think.…!" Noelle responded before attempting to move, a slight pain shot through her body as she managed to get onto her head.
"We better get you to Mimosa." Nozel said, him having a good guess that Noelle is in pain.
"O-okay." The silver hair girl responded, still feeling it strange that her older brother, who has been shunning Noelle for her entire life, is starting to act like a proper sibling…..yet there is a part of Noelle that's still full of fury.
Back with the fight, Saber punched Calibur in the chest with his fist covered in flames, sending the swordsman of darkness staggering back.
"See? This is what my new form is capable of." Saber said in a confident tone of voice.
"Y-yes. That new form of yours is strong. It's no wonder why she'd was sacrificed 11 years ago. A being that possess Mana that is capable of toppling Demonic Mana with such ease." Calibur commented, causing Saber to freeze.
"You mean Luna?!" The swordsman of flames asked in a stunned tone of voice.
"Correct. However, regardless of the fact that she, your childhood friend, gave you that form, friendship is a concept that can be so easily broken." Calibur said, causing Saber to widen his eyes underneath his helmet.
"What did you say?!" Saber asked, starting to become angry as his grip on Rekka tightened.
"People who forge bonds will easily fall if they rely on each other too much. I've decided to forgo the bonds of my former allies of the Sword Of Logos in order to reach my goal without any hassle." Calibur explained in a calm tone of voice.
However, Saber's entire body started to shake.
"What the hell are you talking about?!" The swordsman of flames shouted in anger.
"Strength comes from the bonds that people forged with each. And even if one falls, other people will help them get back onto their feet!" Saber explained whilst walking forwards and pressing a button on the added gauntlet-like piece, causing the dragon head to pop open.
Dragonic Booster!
The dragon head announced just as the swordsman of flames then took out the "Brave Dragon" Wonder-Ride book and slotted it into the open Dragonic Booster.
One Reading!
Brave Dragon!
Dragonic Booster announced, causing a charging sound to start playing.
Saber then pressed the button again before punching his left arm.
Flame Spicy!
Dragonic Booster announced whilst stream of fire burst out of the dragon head, heading straight towards Calibur.
The swordsman of darkness attempted to absorb the attack with Kurayami, but he couldn't withstand the high temperature that the flames possess, making him hop to the side instead.
"I've gotten this far thanks to the people around me." Saber said in a voice full of conviction.
It was at that moment that a pulse of Mana is felt, causing everyone to glance upwards and saw that the book-like doorway is glowing brightly and opened like a normal book.
"At last, the doorway is open." Calibur muttered before pressing the right-sided page of "Jaou Dragon", causing five dragons to materialize and the swordsman of darkness jumped onto the single purple dragon.
"You think that you can just run away?!" Saber demanded, becoming mad.
"All of this is to allow me to reach the truth. And to make sure that non of you can chase me…" Calibur said before taking out multiple Alter-Ride books and summoned the Megid within them.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey." Saber muttered, starting to become as he scan the small approaching army of Megid just as Calibur took off into the sky, being surrounded by the four golden dragons.
"You go on ahead and stop Calibur, I'll deal with these things." A voice said, causing the swordsman of flames to glance over his shoulder to see Nozel standing beside him.
"Right." Saber said before pressing the cover page of "Dragonic Knight"
The knight appears when you side, you have no grief and the flame is bright! Ride on, dragon! Fight! Dragonic Knight!
The Wonder-Ride book announced just as Brave Dragon appeared, with parts of it's body covered in silver-coloured Mana which has solidified look to it.
"Let's get going, Brave Dragon!" Saber said as he climbed aboard the red mechanical dragon, making it not it's head before letting out a roar and flying into the sky, chasing after the five other dragons.
"Asta looks cool in his new armor." Mimosa said with a small smile on her face.
"But why is the announcements so lengthy?" Noelle asked in a blank tone of voice.
"Come on now, the announcements aren't the important parts." Donna said whilst sweat-dropping slightly.
"So the doorway is fully opened." Storious commented as he and the others have felt the pulse of Mana and looked skywards.
"And there's Calibur…." William muttered as he and everyone else saw a single purple dragon being surrounded by four gold dragons heading for the book-like doorway.
Everyone then saw a red dragon chasing the other five dragons.
"It looks like Saber is hot on Calibur's tail." Buster said with a smirk underneath his helmet.
"Well, you better start praying that the little swordsman of yours is successfully in claiming that fragment for himself." Storious said, causing a confuse expression to appear underneath his helmet.
"What do you mean?" The swordsman of the earth asked, starting to become tense.
"That doorway is specifically designed for one person, so if Saber isn't quick enough and Calibur managed to escape, then your friend will be trapped in a pocket dimension." The Megid General explained, causing the Magic Knight to widen their eyes.
"Seriously?!" Kenzan asked in a shock tone of voice, making Storious nod his head in response, joined by an evil "smirk".
"Get back here as quickly as you can, Asta…...?" Buster thought before noticing something.
"Where's Desast? He was he a few seconds ago!" The swordsman of the earth thought, starting to become worried that he'd let the skull-faced swordsman escaped.
With the battle between the two Megid Generals and four Magic Knights, plus spirit, the Magic Knights are starting to become overpowered when Liegel and Zoous starting to fight more seriously.
"This is getting us nowhere." Fuegoleon thought just as Salamander released another attack in the form of a fireball.
The reason for this because Liegel has started to increase the quantity of Mana within his ice attacks, making them impossible to melt with Fuegoleon's and Salamander's fire magic.
Slash, now in his Hundred-Eyed Peacock form, and Nero have been attempting get pass Liegel's ice attacks and attack him directly, but found it impossible due to the ice shards surrounding Liegel, acting as small shields.
"Heh. Is that you Magic Knights can do? I'd expecting more since one of you has been chosen by the great spirit of fire." Liegel asked in a mocking tone of voice, causing tick-marks to appear on Fuegoleon's, Slash's, Nero's and Salamander's foreheads.
"Just you wait until I get pass those defences of yours and strangle your neck." Slash muttered with a dark aura surrounding him.
"I'll wait." Liegel responded with a "smirk" on his face, causing the swordsman of sound to growl in annoyance.
"Your seriously asking for it." Slash said before his peacock feathers opened up and the outer-most feathers started to glow pink.
Slash then throw the arm that isn't holding Suzume forwards, causing the glowing feathers to shot forwards towards Liegel.
"Useless." The Megid General said before summoning more ice shards which he then shot forwards with some of them knocking the incoming feathers out of the air before continuing to head towards Slash.
Slash dived to the side to avoid getting hit by the ice shards.
"You shouldn't get your emotions get the better of you." Fuegoleon said in a slight stern tone of voice.
"I know, but…." The swordsman of sound began to say before trailing off.
"We may have a better chance of melting the ice if Saber was here." Secre commented as she appeared next to the male Magic Knights, she having been flying around the Megid General in order to find an opening with in his defense's, but unfortunately couldn't see any.
"Lets see how much of the cold you can handle, even with the aid of the great spirit of flames on your side." Liegel commented before summoning an icy gust of wind.
"Spirit Magic: Salamander's Breath!" Fuegoleon announced quickly, making Salamander to release a fiery breath.
When the two attacks collided, mist spread throughout the area like last time.
"This again-!?" Fuegoleon said before he and the others witness a large vortex of wind heading straight towards them, blowing the mist away.
Not even needed to be told, Salamander grabbed the Magic Knights and flew to the side, avoiding the wind-based attack.
"Hmph. So the great spirit is capable of making decisions for itself." Liegel commented as he watched Salamander land on the ground.
"We just have to keep the Megid Generals busy long enough to prevent them from entering that doorway. Saber is already chasing after Calibur, so it's just a waiting game." Slash thought as he kept his guard up.
With the battle between Blades and Zoous, the swordsman of water is forced onto the defensive as the animal-themed Megid General throw a barrage of swords attacks, forcing him to move backwards.
"Hah. You seems to act so full of confident when you have the upper-hand, but when you start to become overwhelmed, you easily break." Zoous commented with a feral "grin" on his face before striking Nagare again, this time pushing it to the side.
The animal-themed Megid General then swing both of his swords in an X movement, both blades covered in a large amount of Mana.
When the attacks struck Blades, his armour got destroyed whilst Rintaro fell onto one knee.
"Here we are, back to your defenseless self." Zoous commented before kicking Rintaro, causing him to roll across the ground for a few seconds before stopping.
"And now, time for the final kill." Zoous said as he began to approach the wielder of Nagare slowly, wanting to prolong the seemingly unenviable defeat of Rintaro.
"I'm….not….giving….up!" Rintaro in a slight pained tone of voice as he slowly got back on to his feet.
This caused Zoous to scoff.
"Keep dreaming. You'll going to be joining that master of yours." Zoous said as he got closer to Rintaro.
It was at that moment that a book/portal suddenly appeared behind the wielder of Nagare and Zoous.
"Huh?" Both Rintaro, glancing over his shoulder and Zoous, who has stopped walking, said at the same time just as a stream of fire suddenly shot out of the pages.
"Whoa!/What?!" Rintaro and Zoous exclaimed at the same time just as the wielder of Nagare dived to the side whilst the Megid General stood stock still, letting the flames go all over him.
"Where did those flames came from?!" Rintaro thought in a shock tone of voice as he turned his attention towards the book/portal...just in time to see Mereoleone walking out of the pages.
"L-Lady Mereoleone?! What are you doing here?!" Rintaro asked, his eyes widening.
With Mereoleone, a small smirk appeared on her face as she glance towards the wielder of Nagare.
"So you managed to avoid my attack." Mereoleone commented in amused tone of voice.
"Is that all you going to say?" Rintaro thought whilst sweat-dropping.
"What is wrong with you, woman!?" A angry voice demanded, causing both Rintaro and Mereoleone to turn their heads towards the source of the voice to see Zoous still standing, but his skin has become blackened.
However, instead of responding, Mereoleone turned her attention back to Rintaro, causing a tick-mark to appear on Zoous's forehead.
"I'm here to deliver that new book you requested." Mereoleone responded before taking out an object from a pocket and threw it at Rintaro wo managed to catch it.
Rintaro's eys widened as he stared at a large Wonder-Ride book which is dark blue in colour.
"But how did you got your hands on it?" The wielder of Nagare asked, becoming confused.
"Well…." Mereoleone began to explain.
Flashback (start)
Within the base of the Sword Of Logos, Fiona is doing her normal cleaning duties.
However, her thoughts are miles away.
"I wonder how the others are doing?!" Fiona thought whilst being very worried.
It has been a few hours since the others have received a sudden reading of multiple Alter-Ride books being activated and they left quickly.
Whilst Fiona knew that they would come back alive, a part of her is still worried about what may have happened to them.
"Where is everyone?" A voice suddenly asked, causing the maid to jump in fright before spinning around.
"L-Lady Mereoleone?! What are you doing here?!" Fiona asked in a high-pitch tone of voice
"I was feeling bored so I decided to visit. Is it just you here?" Mereoleone asked, making Fiona nod her head.
"Yes, it's just me here. Everyone else are dealing with a sudden mission involving the Megid." Fiona explained, causing Mereoleone to raise an eye-brow.
"I'm pretty sure that the entire Sword of Logos dealt with a Megid scheme a few days ago." The former captain of the Crimson Lions thought, becoming sighing slightly.
"Do you mind if I can train in Liberation? I don't want to waste traveling here and find that everyone is gone." Mereoleone asked and Fiona was about to respond, but was prevented as an object attached to her waist began to make a humming sound.
"Hm? What's that?" Mereoleone asked, becoming curious just as Fiona's eyes lit up.
"Mr Daishinji's creation has just finished." Fiona responded before turning around and started to head in a direction.
Blinking her eyes, Mereoleone decided to follow the maid of the Sword Of Logos.
After a few minutes, the two of them entered Mr Daishinji's workshop.
"Is he okay that you just walked into here?" Mereoleone asked, becoming more curious as she watched Fiona walked over to a table which has a glassed-case.
"Normally no. But when he's out, he usually let some of us enter when there is something to be done in his workshop." Fiona explained as she opened the glassed-case and took out an object from within the glassed-case.
Mereoleone's eyes widened when she saw that the object is a Wonder-Ride book.
"That's one large Wonder-Ride book." Mereoleone commented as she approach Fiona and glanced over her shoulder to properly see the newly created Wonder-Ride book which shows an image of a lion wearing armor underneath the title of "King Lion Daisenki".
"Oh? Has Rintaro decided to ask for new Wonder-Ride book?" Mereoleone asked, seeing how "King Lion Daisenki" is obviously meant for the wielder of Nagare.
"Yes. But how to deliver it to him…" Fiona said before trailing off.
"I'll deliver it." Mereoleone said, making Fiona widened her eyes.
"Really?" the maid of the Sword Of Logos asked in a surprise tone of voice.
"Yes. Like I said earlier, I need to do something so this trip isn't a waste of time." Mereoleone explained, making Fiona sweat-drop.
Flashback (end)
"And there we go. But I didn't know that the mission involved the capital getting targeted." Mereoleone commented with a small scowl on her face
With the wielder of Nagare, he returned his attention back onto Zoous.
"You said that I will easily break when getting overwhelmed? Let me show that I'm no so easy to break." Rintaro said whilst sheathing Nagare before opening the cover of "King Lion Daisenki".
"Surpassing nature, the blue main enrobed in armor roars upon the throne."
The new Wonder-Ride book announced before Rintaro closed the cover and removed the Wonder-Ride books that are currently place within his Seiken Sword-Driver.
The wielder of Nagare then placed "King Lion Daisenki" into the centre slot, making the standby sound to start playing for a few seconds before Rintaro unsheathed Nagare, causing the new Wonder-Ride book to open twice, covering the other two slots.
Unsheathe the currents!
Nagare announced, making the lager version of "King Lion Daisenki" to burst open and a lion burst out of the "pages".
"I won't let you!" Zoous exclaimed as he lunged forwards.
However, Rintaro, now covered in a bright blue aura, swing Nagare, releasing a wave of Mana which struck Zoous, knocking him back.
"Henshin!" Rintaro announced before getting a stance.
Rhyming! Riding! Rider!
All hail the king of beasts!
Rising Lifull!
King Lion Daisenki!
In layman's terms, it's a warrior who fires cannons.
The Wonder-Ride book announced just as the blue lion merged with Rintaro, cladding him in a dark blue armor which involves a lion's head as the chest piece along with two cannons placed on his shoulders. On his left gauntlet is an added piece which is in the shape of a lion's head. The left side of Blades's visor has a more shaper look to it.
"There's a tail as well." Mereoleone thought as she saw that there is a tail hanging from Blades's back.
"In the name of Nagare, I will keep the worlds out of harms reach!" Blades announced in a voice full of conviction.
And there we go, Asta transforming into Dragonic Knight form whilst Rintaro transform into his King Lion Daisenki form, delivered to him by Mereoleone. With Noelle, she seemed to be happy that the main color of Dragonic Knight is silver whilst Nozel is annoyed that the silver color can't be applied to "Storm Eagle". Brave Dragon has gained a new look due to "Dragonic Knight" along with Saber's magic being altered as well.
In Black Clover, the Black Bulls kept on going despite their already damaged bodies and Damnatio revealed that the supreme ranking Devil known as Baal resides within him, granting him the power of atmosphere magic, allowing him to perform invisible attacks. With Secre, she starts to recall how the 500 years of being in her bird form caused her mental-state to gradual break down and only lived to fulfil her mission. When Damnatio broke into the chamber where the compound spell is being performed and was on the verge of disrupting it, Asta appeared.
Finally! Asta has returned to the Clover Kingdom with his first battle being against Damnatio, who is the human incarnation of Baal. I was wondering if the the Paladin's usage of two-types of magic will be used again since only Sister Lilly has been shown to use her magic and Beelzebub's magic. I think it's interesting, along with being sad, at how the chapter talks about Secre's detachment of the human of world for 500 years in the form of a anti-magic bird and the mental damage it caused her. I'm a bit disappointed that it would seem that non of Asta's Hino allies have decided to come with him, I would have expected Ichika to come along so that she could have the chance to speak to her brother.
In Geats:
1) in Keiwa's newly created world where all the DGP victims are resurrected, the public are thrown into a panic as a group lead by a Kamen Rider started to terrorize everyone. Ace and Michinaga got involved as they start to fight members of the Rider-led gang, including the leader himself, Kamen Rider Turbon, who recognized Geats, despite being in a form he doesn't recognize, causing him to flee.
2) Keiwa approached Jitto and said that this isn't the world he desired, saying how his mother, father and Sara all died again. However, Jitto pointed out that out of the many victims of the DGP, some of them were irredeemable criminals that took part in the DGP, but became fertilizers for the Jamato.
3) Back to the Rider-led gang, they've managed to break the convicts of a prison, including Kousie which Kamen Rider Turbon recognized and planned on attacking him, but was rescued by Neon and the two of them escaped. With Keiwa, he infiltrated the Rider-led gang's hideout and fight Kamen Rider Turbon, easily defeating him and Kekera persuaded everyone to follow Tycoon, the new head, before taking him to Beroba.
4) Neon, who had a conversation with Kousie, was assaulted by a man who originally kidnapped Akari, before getting kidnapped herself and the man then delivered a ransom note to Kousie. A desperate Kousie approached Ace and requested the power to save his daughter in the form of being able to transform into Kamen Rider Gya-Go Fantasy form which he used to fight Kamen Rider Brali.
The rule for this episode is that those who wish to enter by their own violation may become Kamen Riders. Well, this episode certain brings up the phrase "be careful what you wish for" with Keiwa's desired world being a dystopian one where Sara, his mother and father getting killed again, granted that Beroba have some involvement with creating the apocalypse game. It's good to see Kousie being more active within the series has I feel that he's been sitting in the back since his introduction with him becoming a Kamen Rider.
Please review and until next time.
howard576:
1) Well, the two of them certainly liked the color of "Dragonic Knight"...although Nozel is a bit upset that the color couldn't be applied to "Storm Eagle".
2) If it wasn't for Keiwa gaining a much darker personality, then he would have completely shut down when he observe his newly world for the first time, especially how his family got killed again.
3) Yep, Asta, plus Liebe, will go on a rampage when he see's the state that his friends are in now that he has returned to the Clover Kingdom, and hopefully give Damnatio a good beating.
Brainwork27:
1) Well, here's you answers for what form Saber has gain in this chapter and Blades's new form. Speaking about the a Wonder-Ride book based on the archangel Uriel, that's actual inspired me to create a "form" that follows the same theme as angels, but slightly different.
2) The idea of Mimosa becoming Tycoon Bujin Sword is from someone else and with her wielding a chain-sword theme Holy Sword...EVERYONE will be sweating heavily at the sight of kind-nature girl wielding such a deadly weapon.
3) You'll find out about Luna's current condition in a few chapters.
Brave Kid: The arc would start roughly around the time when Bahato is released from his prison again and the gang manages to take Kyomu away from him.
