SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 55 out, this is Chapter 56 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny and my OC.

Chapter 56: A Reunion Across Time and Space

"I have no interest in toys I'm done playing with, though." Zagred was not amused by the sudden appearance of Freyja's group.

Just then, the reawakened Lemiel shot in with the now human Secre in tow.

"It's been five hundred years since we last met, devil." Lemiel snapped.

"Unbelievable." Zagred snorted. "To think I'd also be reuniting with you two."

"Lemiel..." Freyja breathed.

"Wait, Yuno, is that..." Asta gaped. "The legendary first Wizard King?"

"Who are they?" Lemiel spotted the new faces.

"An elf revived by forbidden magic and Magic Knights from this era who helped with gathering the magic stones and protecting the kingdom." Secre replied.

"Welcome back, Lemiel, Secre." Freyja greeted her former comrades. "We should also wake Licht up, shouldn't we?"

"I see you've also been reincarnated, Carys." Lemiel smiled.

"Probably due to the forbidden spell, he was reincarnated with his soul intact." Secre reasoned. "His soul is indeed here, but he's not fully awakened."

"Licht..." Lemiel muttered. "Will you be able to wake him up?"

"Leave it to me." Secre assured.

"I can finally say the words I wasn't able to say back then." the awakened Licht addressed his former friends. "Thank you, Lemiel, Carys."

"Thank us later." Freyja turned to Zagred. "We have a more pressing matter at hand."

"It's good you made it to this era." Zagred was unfazed. "You have an unfortunate farewell five hundred years ago. This time, I will get rid of all three of you at once."

"Patolli, I saw everything from within my soul's deep slumber." Licht told the younger elf. "Five hundred years ago, we lost to this devil's scheme. While I was drowning in despair, the ones who kept me from hurting even more innocent people and causing more despair were Lemiel and Carys. Patolli, even though you believed the blade you wielded was for justice, for those who were stuck by your blade, it was an unforgivable crime. Still, even if you cannot be forgiven, let me just say this." he pulled Patolli into a hug. "I know you did your best. What we can do right now is fight against the next tragedy that's about to occur without letting our mistakes break our spirits. Let us put an end to our five hundred years."

"Yes, indeed." Zagred agreed. "I'll swallow up your trivial little feelings and that'll be the end of it." he sent into another flood of his underworld summons.

"Augment Magic: Blessed Aura." Freyja cast her mana augment spell.

"Light Magic Mana Zone: Lamp of Avior Gloria." Lemiel summoned his light spell.

"Sword Magic: Origin Flash Barrage." Licht absorbed both spells and cut through the summon wave with a series of light pillars.

"Augment Magic: Storm Djinn's Haste." Freyja boosted both Lemiel and Licht with a speed spell.

A light sword already manifested, Lemiel threw the weapon at Zagred who dodged, only to have Licht absorb the spell with his own sword, move behind the devil and slam the powered-up blade on him.

Lemiel renewed his attack, blasting Zagred with a 'Lamp of Avior Gloria' and Licht let loose an 'Origin Flash'.

Taking advantage of Zagred's momentary distraction, Lemiel closed in on the devil and delivered a single light sword slash straight into the underworld being's chest.

"Douve Nuutra Edde." Zagred spat, forming a black trident in his hand and destroying Lemiel's weapon, before driving said trident into the revived prince's body. "I commend you for being able to attack me this much. But no matter how powerful you may be, you will not be able to kill me now that I have my body."

"Not happening." Asta hissed, cutting in with his 'Black Asta' mode, Yuno having propelled him forward using 'Spirit Dive'.

"Get back." Zagred flung Asta back. "Storm of Blades."

"Thanks, everyone." Asta shouted, Yuno, Patolli, Lemiel and Licht fended off the blade wave.

"No matter how much you blow away this magic, it will keep flowing until you defeat me." Zagred bragged. "Since the exit is on this top floor, all your friends in the lower levels will be swallowed up and die if you keep wasting time."

"But of course." Licht agreed. "We will rid this place of this accursed magic with a mighty blow made with the help of our friends. I'll be borrowing your strength." he raised his sword, drawing magic from the reborn elves. "And now, you will face the true wrath of the elves. Sword Ultimate Magic: Demon-Dweller Sword: Conquering Eon." he cast his most powerful spell which completely disintegrated Zagred's body.

"That's the devil's... heart?" Patolli gasped, hearing the beat of Zagred's revealed heart.

"Destroy the heart and send him back to the underworld now!" Freyja barked.

"Heal." Zagred intoned, regenerating his body.
