Shake hands with Primitive Dragon, Elemental Dragon
Normally, Asta could have imagine his body immediately getting ripped to pieces when exposed to the chaotic Mana, but thanks to the Mana of the Primordial dragons, he was experiencing something similar to being battered by harsh winds.
"Now then, where's Primitive Dragon….." The dragon formed teen muttered as he marched forwards, protecting his face with an arm.
After a few a while of walking through the trees, Asta saw a boy standing alone.
This cause a smile to appear on Asta's face as he got closer, making Primitive Dragon look up.
"Hi there. Can….can we talk?" Asta asked before crouching down to Primitive Dragon's height
"Can you tell me why you're so sad?" The dragon-formed teen asked in a kind tone of voice.
However, his response came in the form of Primitive Dragon transforming into his dragon form and let out a stream of cyan coloured flames.
"Ghaaa!" Asta exclaimed in a shock tone of voice as he fell back.
"T-those flames are hot!" Asta exclaimed in his head, yet feeling relieved that he have Mana-Skin on.
However, a part of him became scared at how he used the same type of flames against his friends when in a berserk state.
Asta quickly got back onto his feet.
"Listen. I just want to-!" Asta began to say, but was cut off when Primitive Dragon let off a stream of flames again.
"This is seriously not good!" Shamshir shouted his head as he swing Endless Dash at Liegel Forbidden whose body is seemed to be made of flames.
In reality, Liegel Forbidden has created copies of himself, based on different elements.
The fire-based Liegel Forbidden unfortunately caught the incoming blade of Endless Dash before using his free hand to punch Shamshir, sending the swordsman of sand stumbling backwards.
Luckily, Shamshir managed to prevent himself from going back further by stabbing the sword of sand into the ground.
Unfortunately, before the swordsman of sand could fully turn his gaze back onto the fire-based Liegel Forbidden, an snow-based attack came from the side, taking Shamshir off his feet.
"Ofh!" Shamshir grunted as he crashed onto the ground.
The swordsman of sand looked up and saw that the attack came from a Liegel Forbidden whose body seemed to be made of ice.
"Even though these are just copies of the real Liegel, they are strong!" Shamshir shouted in his head.
Currently, Shamshir is focus on defending Hage village with the aid of Dusty Feline, Horned Whaling Thrust and Mischievous Fox whilst Kris is fighting the real Leigel Forbidden, joined by Inari no Trickster and Kitsune Tales...even though elemental copies of Leigel Forbidden have drawn their attention.
"And those three are basically pushing their limits." Shamshir thought as he quickly glance at the battle performance of Dusty Feline, Horned Whaling Thrust and Mischievous Fox.
Shamshir's attention is abruptly drawn back to his opponents as they prepared their attacks.
The swordsman of Sand quickly dash to the side to avoid getting struck by the duel fire and ice attacks.
"Sand Trap Magic+Mana-Zone: Sand Cat's Lance!" Shamshir announced, creating a large magic circle underneath the two Liegel Forbidden copies where lances suddenly sprouted out of it, piercing them.
Even though the swordsman of sand knew that the copies won't feel any pain, but he hoped that them being trapped would give him a few seconds to get closer.
Unfortunately, the two copies of Liegel Forbidden easily broke free with the aid of their magic, even though the attacks struck each other in the process.
"Not good!" Shamshir thought as he got blasted with a wave of fire and ice.
With Kris, the swords-woman of mirages is having a difficult time fighting against Liegel Forbidden.
"How the hell does Liegel still possess such high amounts of Mana despite making multiple copies of himself?!" Kris wondered as she glance towards the battles that her two white mechanicals fox have been dragged into.
"Hey! If you don't want to die, then keep your gaze on me!" Liegel Forbidden said as he swing his sword, releasing a watery slash.
By some luck, Kris managed to dodge the attack by spinning to the side.
"If you want to do some dancing, then be a ballerina instead." Liegel Forbidden commented in annoyance as he dash forwards before swinging his sword, hoping to land a solid hit.
Unfortunately, Kris seemingly disappeared.
"An illusion!" Liegel Forbidden thought, although knowing that the swords-woman of mirages would do something like this.
"A ballerina, huh? That's an interesting change of career." A voice spoke behind the Megid General, causing him to spin around and successfully land a hit on Kris, yet the swords-woman of mirages managed to block the attack, but was sent flying off her feet.
Liegel Forbidden then slammed a foot onto the ground, causing a slab of rock to burst out of the ground.
"Ghe!" Kris grunted as she smashed into it.
Blinking her eyes slightly, the swords-woman of mirages perked up slightly when she saw Liegel Forbidden charging towards her.
Kris just had time to flip onto the top of the slab of rock just as Liegel Forbidden closed in and swing his sword horizontally, cleanly cutting the slab in two.
The swords-woman of mirages jumped off the section of rock that she's been standing and was about to cast a spell, but wasn't able to when the Megid General suddenly appeared and swing his sword, this time releasing a rock-based slash.
Kris ignored the pain as she smashed onto the ground before quickly getting back onto her feet just in time to, luckily, block the incoming sword attack.
However, Liegel Forbidden's scarf suddenly moved, wrapping itself around one of Kris's legs.
"Oh no!" Kris thought just as Liegel Forbidden threw a punch towards at the swords-woman of mirages...along with summoning a icy tornado.
Kris attempted to protect herself from Liegel Forbidden's attack the best she could, but found it impossible.
After a few seconds, Liegel Forbidden decided to release his hold on Kris, sending her flying slightly before crashing onto the ground.
"Hmh. You certainly are in a bad condition." Liegel Forbidden commented in a mocking tone of voice just as Kris slowly began to get back onto her feet with the aid of Shinkiro.
"But...I should probably put you out of your misery..." Liegel Forbidden said before a smirk started to appear on his face.
"If I kill you, then that would put the swordsman of flames in a more better mood to fight me." Liegel Forbidden said as he began to raise his sword and clad it within Mana.
Seeing the situation that the their companion is in, Inari no Trickster and Kitsune Tales attempted to move to Kris's aid, but the white mechanical foxes are prevented by the copies of Liegel Forbidden.
The real Liegel Forbidden swing his sword, releasing a Mana-made slash which headed straight towards Kris.
"This is going to hurt a lot!" The swords-woman of mirages thought as she prepared herself for the unavoidable attack.
However, a red blur appeared and grabbed the swords-woman of mirages before the attack could hit her.
"Huh?" Kris said, becoming confused before looking up and saw that she's being held by two sharp claws.
"Fancy meeting you here." Fuegoleon said from the back of Salamander just as the spirit of fire allowed Kris to join the captain of the Crimson Lions before stopping within the air.
"Someone contacted Magic knight headquarters then." Kris stated, becoming relieved.
"Yes. When Headquarters received the call and was giving the description of the attacker, Sir Julius contacted me, being the host of Salamander's power. Yuno would be here, but..." Fuegoleon began to explain but trailed off, knowing that Kris knows what he's referring to.
Fuegoleon then glanced down.
"What happened to Liegel?" The captain of the Crimson Lions questioned as he examine Liegel Forbidden.
"We don't know, but it certainly gave him a massive Mana boost." Kris responded, making Fuegoleon nod his head before glancing towards Shamshir.
"Shamshir and the mechanical beings are certainly having trouble against those copies of Liegel." Fuegoleon thought, a frown starting to appear on his face.
"So...The host of Salamander has decided to enter the fray." Liegel Forbidden thought as he gazed up at the Magic Knight, witch and spirit of flames.
"No matter, that lizard is of no importance!" Liegel Forbidden said before summoning a wave of icicles and sent them flying towards Salamander.
In response to the incoming attack, Salamander released a breath of flames, attempting to melt the icicles.
However, Salamander's attack seemed to have little effect as the icicles came flying out of the flames and piercing the spirit of flames.
"Hold on tight!" Fuegoleon shouted just as Salamander began to fall.
Luckily, Salamander managed to prevent itself from crashing onto the ground.
"That...was a close one..." Kris muttered, she having grip Salamander's tail tightly.
"See? My power is on equal, no, has surpassed that of the four spirits! You have no chance of defeating me." Liegel Forbidden stated with a grin on his face.
"He's right about his increased power. I've never seen Salamander in this much pain..." Fuegoleon thought as he sense the pain that Salamander is feeling.
"Well. It's a good thing that me and Salamander aren't the one who have came." Fuegoleon stated, causing Kris and Liegel Forbidden to become confuse.
"Oh come on! Can you give me a chance to get close!" Shamshir shouted in his head as he attempted to get close to the the fired-based copy of Liegel Forbidden and a wind-based copy of Liegel Forbidden who has decided to swap places with the ice-made Liegel Forbidden to attack Dusty Feline.
"And even if I do get close. I can only rely on Endless Dash, my sand will be blown away by the wind whilst the magic itself will strength the fire magic..." Shamshir thought, observing the situation he's in and trying to find a solution.
It was at that moment that the two Liegel Forbidden clones prepared to throw a combined attack at him.
"Gotta move!" Shamshir thought, knowing that he only has seconds to avoid getting seriously injured once they released their attack.
"Music Magic: Rhythimic Distortion." A voice announced and a wave of sound spread about the area, making the Liegel Forbidden clones dizzy.
This cause Shamshir to become confuse, which is mimicked by the mechanical beings, before two blasts of water sped past him and struck the two Liegel Forbidden clones that he's fighting.
"Huh?" The swordsman of sand said as he turn around to where the attacks came from.
"Blades...Slash!" Shamshir muttered in a surprised tone of voice as he lowered Endless Dash slightly.
"Good work with defending Hage Village." Blades, in his Daisenki Lion form, commented with a smile underneath his helmet as he and Slash approached Shamshir.
"Is it just you two?" Shamshir asked, wondering if other Magic Knights have arrived.
"Nope. Vice-Captain Buster and Captain Fuegoleon are here as well." Slash responded, causing the swordsman of sand to look in the direction of where the battle between Kris and the real Liegel Forbidden is happening and saw the two mentioned where the swordsman of the earth is getting confronted by the two Liegel Forbidden clones.
"This is good." Shamshir thought, seeing this as an opportunity to turn things around.
"Where is Saber...is he even here?" Blades asked, starting to become concerned that they haven't felt any Chaotic-Mana when the four of them approached Hage Village.
"Asta...We've figured a way to tame Primitive Dragon." Shamshir responded, causing Blades and Slash to become surprise.
"Really?!" Slash asked, causing Shamshir to nod his head in response.
"Yes. Once Asta has tamed Primitive Dragon, he will appear..." The swordsman of sand explained, yet started to gain a bad feeling that Asta may immediately loose control over Primitive Dragon when he sees the state that Hage Village is in.
The swordsman of sound started to notice how the clones of Liegel Forbidden have almost recovered.
"Come on. Let's go and bring the party!" Slash said as he got Sezume at the ready.
This cause Shamshir and Blades to nod their heads in agreement whilst preparing their own Holy Swords at the ready.
"I wonder how things are going on at Hage Village?" Finsternis thought, a frown appearing underneath her hood whilst images of the visions pass through her head.
"How are you managing, Finsternis?" Yuri asked from his spot on the rune-covered circle.
"I'm managing, thank you…." The wielder of Kurayami responded, yet there is a hint of uneasiness within her voice.
What the "wielder" of Saikou is referring to is the task of channelling Mana into the rune-covered circle which grows difficult as times passess by, the cause being the chaotic Mana of Primitive Dragon.
"Please hurry, Asta. Time is of the essence." Finsternis thought, a small bead of sweat-trickling down her forehead.
With Asta, the dragon-formed teen is constantly getting attacked by Primitive Dragon.
"H-hey! Please cut it out!" Asta called as he struggled back onto his feet.
Luckily, this seemed to work as Primitive Dragon halted his attack.
"I….I just want to…..understand your sadness." Asta said in a slightly shaky tone of voice.
"Understand…..my sadness?" Primitive Dragon questioned, tilting his head to the side.
"Yeah." Asta responded whilst feeling happy that he's somewhat making progress.
"A human like you would never understand my sadness!" Primitive Dragon exclaimed before releasing a stream of flames.
Asta quickly rolled to the side to avoid getting hit once again, with this time hiding behind a tree.
"Please, Primordial Dragons. I seriously could use some of your wisdom." Asta thought whilst taking deep breaths before closing his eyes, thinking that this may help him get into contact with the Five Dragons.
"You're….lonely, aren't you." Asta stated, causing the transformed version of Primitive Dragon to abruptly stop acting aggressively.
The dragon-formed teen walked from behind the tree and slowly approached Primitive Dragon.
"How long have you been sad and lonely?" Asta asked as he stopped in front of Primitive Dragon and stared into the dragon's empty eye-sockets.
"….A long time ago, dragons and humans lived happily together, but eventually a group of Mages targeted us due to dragons being descendants of the Primordial Dragons, who shaped this world. They started to attack us….until I was the last one." Primitive Dragon began to tell his story.
"I couldn't find my friends and started to wonder, ending up in the other world in the hope of seeking other dragons, but eventually becoming truly along when I saw no one I could call I friend." Primitive Dragon further explained, his tone becoming more depressed.
"….." Asta became silent for a few seconds before spoke.
"Are you though?" The dragon-formed teen asked, causing Primitive Dragon to tilt his head to the side in confusion.
"It may take time, but you will be able to make friends who will be able to erase your sadness and if you should ever face a calamity like that in the past, they will help." Asta began to say.
"..." Primitive Dragon became quiet.
"Having friends is the best thing to have, helping each other to overcome problems and grow stronger." Asta said with a smile on his face.
"..." Primitive Dragon continued to remained silent for a few seconds before speaking.
"Can you….be my friend as well?" Primitive Dragon asked in a hopeful tone of voice.
This cause Asta to chuckle.
"Of course." The dragon-formed teen responded before the pitch-black Grimoire appeard in front of Primitive Dragon.
"Get out of the way!" Buster shouted as he ducked under an attack from one of the elemental clones, made from sand, before swinging Gekido.
Whilst his attack did slice through the sand-made Liegel Forbidden, it obviously didn't do any damage.
Buster sensed an attack coming from the side and saw the second Liegel Forbidden clone releasing a water-based slash towards him.
Whilst the swordsman of the earth did managed to dodge most of the attack, the water-based attack unfortunatly managed to strike his foot.
Buster hissed slightly when pain flared up from his foot when he placed it on the ground again.
"These clones are certainly powerful." Buster muttered before glancing towards the battle involving the real Liegel Forbidden.
"I need to reserve my strength and Mana for the real Liegel." The swordsman of the earth thought, a frown appearing underneath his helmet.
Inari no Trickster and Kitsune Tales seemed to understand what Buster wanted to do as they stood next to him.
"You two wouldn't mind fighting a little longer until we defeat the real Liegel?" Buster asked, knowing that Inari no Trickster and Kitsune Tales would already be feeling weary from fighting powerful opponents.
The two white mechanical foxes nod their heads in response.
"Thanks-!" Buster said before his eyes widened underneath his helmet as he saw the two elemental clones preparing a combined attack.
"This...won't be easy." Buster commented as he, Inari no Trickster and Kitsune Tales stared at the newly created sand/water tornado which is heading towards them.
"Just one? I can run past it and head towards the real Liegel." Buster thought in a confident tone of voice.
Four sand-based slashes and four water-based slashes flew out of the sand/water tornado.
Luckily, the three of them managed to dodge the multiple attacks.
"Now to-huh?!" Buster began to say, but stop when he saw that the sand/water tornado has split into multiple, yet small, tornados.
"This...is going to be tricky..." Buster muttered as he raised Gekido whilst glancing at the multiple tornados.
Buster's eyes fell onto his "Genbu Shinwa" Wonder-Ride book.
"...I guess that I have no choice." Buster thought as he removed "Genbu Shinwa" and placed it within the second slot on Gekido.
Genbu Shinwa: Ka-Bam!
Gekido Skimming Strike!
A voice annonced before multiple rocks covered the blade of Gekido, enlarging it.
"Grand Judgement!" Buster shouted before swinging Gekido in a circular motion, destroying the sand/water tornados.
"Now's our chance." The swordsman of the earth muttered before dashing forwards.
The two elemental clones attempted to block Buster's path, but are prevented by Inari no Trickster and Kitsune Tales who intercepted them.
"Here I come, Liegel!" Buster shouted as he got closer to Liegel Forbidden before jumping into the air.
"Ora!" Buster shouted as he swing Gekido down onto the Liegel Forbidden.
Unfortunately, no damage seemed to have been dealt when the sword of tremor struck Liegel Forbidden, even though the Megid General became surprise at Buster's sudden presense.
"...Is that supposed to hurt?" Liegel Forbidden questioned as he tilt his head to the side, his surprise slowly disappearing.
The swordsman of the earth attempted to move back, but Liegel Forbidden grabbed Gekido, preventing Buster's retreat.
"Here. Let me show you how it is done!" Liegel Forbidden said before swinging his sword, dealing damage to Buster.
"Gah!" Buster exclaimed as he staggered slightly
"Fire Magic: Sol Linea." A voice announced, making Liegel Forbidden glanced over his shoulder and saw a thin beam of light heading towards him.
With quick movement, Liegel Forbidden avoided Fuegoleon's attack...With Buster just managing to avoid the attack as well.
"Too slow, captain of the Crimson Lions!" Liegel Forbidden called as he stared at Fuegoleon...before noticing something.
"Where's Salamander?" Liegel Forbidden thought, seeing the absence of the spirit of fire next to the captain of the Crimson Lions.
It was at that moment that something chomped down one of Liegel Forbidden's arms, causing the Megid General to turn his head and saw that Salamander has bitten him.
"Why don't you stop being a nuisance and act like a meek pet!" Liegel Forbidden shouted before releasing a wave of killing instinct, causing Salamander's eyes to shrink in fear whilst releasing the Megid General and quickly backing away.
"What?!" The others thought, becoming shock at Salamander's behavior.
"He...managed to put fear into Salamander...?" Fuegoleon thought as he started to become stunned.
"Earth Creation Magic: Earth Tortoise's Shell Bullets." Buster announced, creating shell-shaped bullets which he then sent flying towards Liegel Forbidden.
Unfortunately, the Megid General managed to destroy the incoming attacks with his sword.
Buster used the opportunity to get closer to the Megid General whilst drawing Gekido back and covered it with Mana-Skin.
"Let's see if I can do some real damage now!" Buster thought...although knowing that the results will be the same.
Despite this doubt, however, Buster attacked Liegel Forbidden with Gekido.
"He doesn't know how to quite, doesn't he?" Liegel Forbidden thought before releasing a elemental-based slash that, whilst managed to block with Gekido, managed to force Buster back.
"Earth Creation Magic: Stone Tortoise's Snake Companion!" Buster announced, creating a earth-made snake which lunged forwards towards Liegel Forbidden.
"Really? Another pet to deal with?" Liegel Forbidden thought in annoyance before swinging his sword.
Unfortunately for him, the earth-made snake quickly maneuvered around the incoming attack before getting closer to Liegel Forbidden and prepared to attack him.
The Megid General grabbed the earth-made snake where ice started to spread across the snake's body, turning it into ice.
Sensing an incoming presence, Liegel Forbidden glanced to the side and saw Kris preparing to attack him.
In response, the Megid General swing the frozen earth-made snake towards the swords-woman of mirages whilst covered it in lighting, basically transforming it into a ice/lighting whip.
Suddenly, "Kris" disappeared and was replaced with Buster who brought the raised Gekido down, shattering the ice/lighting whip.
"Gha!" Buster exclaimed as a huge amount of lighting started to spread across his body, basically paralyzing him.
"Now. Die." Liegel Forbidden stated as he raised his own sword before bringing it downwards.
However, the real Kris appeared and blocked the incoming attack.
"Why you..." Liegel Forbidden muttered in annoyance before covering the blade of his sword with lighting.
"Ghaaaa!" The swords-woman of lighting exclaimed in pain as lighting started to spread through her body.
"Those three aren't having an easy time." Blades thought as he glanced towards the battle between the Magic Knight vice-captain, Magic Knight captain and witch.
The swordsman of water was brought out of his thoughts when he saw an incoming attack.
Blade managed to block the sword that belongs to a elemental clone of Liegel Forbidden which seemed to made from tree bark.
"Although the same can be said to us three. I'm seriously at a disadvantage!" Blades thought as he backed away from the tree-based Liegel Forbidden.
Whilst the swordsman of water planned on fighting the fire-based Liegel Forbidden, his plan was ruined when he was confronted by a tree-based Liegel Forbidden and is getting overwhelmed.
It hasn't helped that Blades was more focused on breaking away rather than fighting the tree-based Liegel Forbidden.
Horned Whaling Thrust has been aiding the swordsman of water, but any attempts of fully drawing the three-based Liegel Forbidden's attention onto it has been met with failure.
With the tree-based Liegel Forbidden, it raised its sword-free hand before swiping it downwards, releasing multiple leaves.
Blades swing Nagare and his eyes widened when he heard metallic sound as the sword of current struck one of the leaves.
"Better dodging those leaves rather than confronting them directly." Blades muttered as he began to move, followed by Horned Whaling Thrust, who itself has dodged the razor-sharp leaves.
Silently watching the two moving, the tree-based Liegel Forbidden began to chase after Blades and Horned Whaling Thrust.
"Stop following me!" Blades shouted, starting to become annoyed as he saw the tree-based Liegel Forbidden closing in.
Horned Whaling Thrust attempted to knock the tree-based Liegel Forbidden off it's feet with its body, but the clone of the Megid General made a quick recovery.
"I swear, I'm going to make sure you're down for good." Blades thought in a determined tone of voice as he turned back to face the tree-based Liegel Forbidden.
"Gah! How durable are you!" Slash shouted as he kept on firing Mana-Bullets, but with little to no effects.
With the swordsman of sound and Mischievous Fox, the are currently fighting a elemental-clone created from diamond.
Seemingly becoming annoyed at the constant Mana-Bullets fired at it, the diamond-based Liegel Forbidden smashed a leg onto the ground, causing shards of diamond to sprout of the ground.
"Whoa!" Slash exclaimed as he dived to the side whilst Mischievous Fox jumped over the shards before making it's way towards the diamond-based Liegel Forbidden before biting one of the elemental clone's legs.
Whilst the attack itself didn't seemed to do any damage, the bite did caused the diamond-based Liegel Forbidden to become annoyed before raising an arm which took on the form of a blade.
"Music Magic: Sonic Blast." Slash announced and the diamond-based Liegel Forbidden was struck by a sound wave and with the white mechanical fox holding one of its legs, the elemental clone stumbled slightly.
Mischievous Fox released its hold on the diamond-based Liegel Forbidden's leg before fully knocking it onto the ground and quickly moved back.
"I know that certain sound waves can break diamonds. But with this enemy, It will consume a lot of my Mana to even start the task." Slash thought, analyzing the situation.
With the diamond-based Liegel Forbidden, it got back onto its feet before dashing towards the swordsman of sound.
Acting quickly, Slash transformed Sezume back into its sword form and blocked the incoming diamond-blade attack, resulting in sparks to be sent flying.
The impact of the attack caused the swordsman of sound to stagger back.
"Music Magic: Rhythmic Distortion." Slash quickly announced, not wanting to give the diamond-based Liegel Forbidden a chance to attack.
"And now...Music Magic: Sonic Blast, Sonic Blast, Sonic Blast, Sonic Blast!" Slash announced, spamming the spell in the hopes of dealing damage to the diamond-based Liegel Forbidden as soon as possible.
Mischievous Fox sweat-drop as it observe the swordsman of sound's actions.
"This really doesn't look good for the Magic Knights!" Sister Lilly thought as she watched the on going battles.
The nun is still hiding behind the wall, she not having the courage to move.
"I hope that they will come out of this battle alive." Sister Lilly thought, becoming worried for the safety of Kris, Shamshir, Blades, Slash, Buster, Fuegoleon, Salamander and the mechanical companions as the fought Liegel Forbidden and his clones.
"Sister Lilly!" A voice said just as a hand grab Sister Lilly's shoulder, causing the nun to jump in fright before turning her head towards the owner of the hand.
"F-father Orsi. Don't frighten me like that!" Sister Lilly said as her body relaxed slightly.
"Sorry." Father Orisi apologized with a smile on his face but is soon replaced with a serious expression on his face.
"But you can't stay here, we need to get to the others. The rest of the villages have managed to flee." Father Orisi explained, causing Sister Lilly to nod her head, feeling relived that everyone else is safe.
"But how? We're pretty much stuck here." Sister Lilly pointed out before wondering how Father Orisi managed to get to her in the first place.
"..." Father Orisi became silent, becoming unsure about their course of action.
Whilst Father Orisi attempted to come up with a solution for their predicament, it was that moment that the tree-based Liegel Forbidden landed some distance away from them.
As the elemental clone began to turn its attention back onto Blades and the mechanical whale, it stopped when it sensed two presences close by.
"Hm? Did something caught its attention...!" Blades thought before sensing the two presences as well.
Before the swordsman of water can do anything, the tree-based Liegel Forbidden released multiple razor-sharp leaves, resulting in the destruction of the wall.
"Gah!/Eek!" Both Father Orisi and Sister Lilly exclaimed as their hiding place was discovered.
Their screams caught the attention of the other combatants.
"How are there villagers so close?!" Everyone thought, becoming shock.
"They're in danger!" Blades exclaimed in his head before transforming into his lion form and began to make his way towards Father Orisi and Sister Lilly.
Unfortunately, his attempt of rescuing Father Orisi and Sister Lilly failed when the tree-based Liegel Forbidden summoned tree roots from the ground, trapping him and Whale Horn Thrust.
"Well. It looks like we have our first set of casualties." Liegel Forbidden commented in a gleeful tone of voice.
"Darn! We won't be able to reach them in time!" Kris thought as she noted how she and everyone else won't be able to reach Father Orisi and Sister Lilly in time and the tree-based Liegel Fobidden began to raise an arm.
However, it was at that moment that a new source of Mana is felt, halting the battles.
"Someone's approaching! But who?!" Fuegoleon thought, starting to become concerned as he scanned the surrounding area.
two roars can be heard, causing everyone to look in the direction that the sound is coming from and their eyes widened.
"Primitive Dragon and...a second dragon?!" Everyone thought as they saw the cyan-coloured dragon is joined by a dragon that looks identical to Primitive Dragon, but done in a fiery crimson colour.
"Then does than mean...?" Kris began thought, starting to become anixious.
The two dragons released streams of fire at the tree-based Liegel Forbidden, completely destroying it, luckily managing to avoid hitting Sister Lilly and Father Orisi before focusing on the other elemental clones, destroying them as well.
"Huh?!/Huh?!" Everyone exclaimed in shock tones of voice as they watch as the Crimson mechanical dragon landed on the ground whilst Primitive Dragon somehow disappeared.
Everyone watched as the crimson mechanical dragon started to transform into a human form.
Everyone's eyes widened as they stared at Asta whose scales have turned into a crimson colour.
"So you've decided to show yourself, swordsman of flames, even managing to gain a new look." Liegel Forbidden commented just as Asta turned his attention onto the Megid General.
"What are you doing to Hage Village, Liegel?" Asta asked in a dangerous tone of voice.
"What do you think? getting your attention." Liegel Forbidden responded in a simple tone of voice.
"A...Asta?" Sister Lilly questioned in a quiet tone of voice, yet the ash-white hair teen heard her, causing him to glance towards Sister Lilly and Father Orisi.
"Don't worry, I'll finish him for good." Asta said in a confident tone of voice, a smile appearing on his face.
"You? Finish me off? You're the one who getting obliterated!" Liegel Forbidden said in a dark tone of voice.
"You think so?" Asta questioned before taking out two Wonder-Ride books.
In his left hand is the "Primitive Dragon" Wonder-Ride book whilst in his right hand is new large Wonder-Ride book which has a bright red boarder with an image of a dragon covered in flames underneath the title of "Elemental Dragon".
"What sort of Wonder-Ride book is that? The Mana coming off that..." Fuegoleon thought as he felt the Mana even from the distance he's standing at.
Salamander's body seemed to become relaxed as it felt the Mana as well.
"Please help me to finish Liegel for good." Asta thought whilst glancing at "Primitive Dragon" before opening the cover of "Elemental Dragon".
"And now, join hands with the primordial power to become the mystical beast that will save all!"
The voice announced before Asta closed the cover and opened the cover of "Primitive Dragon" and slotted "Elemental Dragon" into it, causing the standby sound to start playing.
Everyone watched as Asta place "Primitive Dragon" into the already equipped Seiken Sword-Driver before drawing Rekka.
Unsheathe the flames!
The voice announced just as the cover of "Elemental Dragon" opened in the opposite direction, creating an image of shaking hands between a crimson dragon and armoured figure.
Cracking! Crunching! Bone!
Flaring! Flaring Burn!
Shake hands!
Elemental Dragon!
More and more elementals makes a formidable bond!
The voice announced just as Primitive Dragon and a newly appeared crimson dragon came out of the two Wonder-Ride books and flew around Asta before shaking hands and merging with Asta. Saber's new form consists of the colour of cyan, but a vast majority of the colour is a burning red with the sword-horn piece being red instead of the usual silver. His left shoulder guard is that of a red dragon's head with the chest piece having shaking hands with the right shoulder guard which has the shape of a cyan dragon's head.
Everyone become silent as they stared at Saber's new Elemental Dragon form.
"Nice form, but it won't help you at all! I'm invincible!" Liegel Forbidden exclaimed in a confident tone of voice whilst making his elemental clones disappear, having no need for them now.
"Let's see about that." Saber responded as he got Rekka at the ready before charging forwards.
Liegel Forbidden raised his sword to block the first sword attack from Rekka.
"Those flames, they certainly feel more hotter…" Liegel Forbidden thought as he felt the temperature of the flames that are radiating from Rekka.
Saber swing the swords of flames a few more times, causing Liegel Forbidden to stumble back.
"Why you…" Liegel Forbidden growled before swinging his sword, releasing slashes of Mana towards the swordsman of flames.
In response, Saber's armor started to become covered in lighting and he seemingly disappeared, reappearing behind Liegel Forbidden.
"What was that?! Mana-Skin?!" Liegel Forbidden exclaimed in his head, referring to the lightening, before summoning water which took on the shape of dragon heads which are then sent flying towards Saber.
"Whoa!" The swordsman of flames exclaimed, quickly jumping back and managing to avoid getting struck by the Megid General's attack.
Liegel Forbidden then stab his sword into the ground, causing large shards of rock to burst out of the ground, aiming to pierce Saber.
However, the swordsman of flames jumped into the air….whilst summoning a small tornado underneath his feet for an extra boost.
This cause everyone to become wide eyed as they watch as Saber landed on the ground, although stumbling slightly.
"Did Saber..." Blades, who is now free from the tree roots, muttered, becoming stunned.
"It would seem so. What of new power have you gained, Saber?" Slash questioned, yet there is a small smile on his face.
"How are you able to wield wind magic?!" Liegel Forbidden shouted as he backed away from Saber.
"This new form of mine allows me to wield all four main magical attributes." Saber responded, causing everyone to become shock.
"Huh?! How is that possible?!" Liegel Forbidden asked, trying to under Saber's new form.
"Well, Primitive Dragon decided to give me his Grimoire as a token of our friendship which then fused with the Mana of the Primordial Dragons, altering it." Saber explained whilst holding up a Grimoire that possess the colours of red, blue, green, brown and yellow.
"I suppose that having "elemental" in the Wonder-Ride book's name was a giveaway." Everyone else thought in realization.
"Tch. It doesn't matter what sort of boon you gained by taming that beast, I'll still going to crush you." Liegel Forbidden commented in annoyance before swinging his sword, releasing arcs of Mana.
Saber's new Grimoire opened.
"Dragon Creation Magic: Geo Dragon's Embrace." Saber announced, causing a stone statue of an eastern dragon to appear behind the swordsman of flames and draped its arms around him and protected Saber from the attack.
Liegel Forbidden grunted in annoyance as his attack didn't seemed to do nothing to the dragon statue.
"Just how powerful did the swordsman of flames has become?" Liegel Forbidden thought, a frown appearing on his face just as the dragon statue removed it's arms from Saber and the pages of his dragon Grimoire began to turn before stopping.
"Dragon Creation Magic: Anemo Dragon's Gliding Feet." the swordsman of flames announced, causing bright green scaly legs to appear above Saber's armored legs.
"Now what?" Liegel Forbidden questioned to himself as he observe Saber.
The swordsman of flames then charged forwards and when Liegel Forbidden attempted to attack Saber with his scarf, he jumped into the air and seemingly started to run in the air.
Saber quickly closed the gap between him and Liegel Forbidden whilst raising Rekka and his clover Grimoire started to glow.
"Fire Magic: Salamander's Soul Burst." Saber announced, causing flames to burst into existence and cover the blade of Rekka before starting to swing the sword of flames at Liegel Forbidden.
"Gah!" Liegel Forbidden exclaimed as the attacks struck him, the flames originating from the spirit of fire being more stronger now that Saber is in his Elemental Dragon form.
With the spirit of fire itself, it seemed to growl in approval at the usage of it's flames.
After a few swings from Rekka, Saber kicked the Megid General and due to the "Gliding Feet" spell, Liegel Forbidden was knocked back by some distance.
"How….how I'm I getting beaten by some mere human?!" Liegel Forbidden demanded in an angry tone of voice.
"What are you talking about, Liegel? Weren't you human as well?" Saber asked in a calm tone of voice.
"What are you talking about?! I-" Liegel began to respond, but was interrupted as images flashed through his head.
"We're the first humans to set eyes upon this!" The voice of the human version of Liegel rang through Liegel Forbidden's head in an excited tone of voice just as he grabbed his head in pain.
"No way…." Liegel Forbidden muttered in a low tone of voice.
"…..It's a lie….Lies! it's all lies! I'm not some human! I am a chosen one who stands above the rest!" Liegel Forbidden shouted in anger before charging forwards.
Him and Saber exchanged sword attacks, blades covered in flames.
However, Saber soon started to overpower Liegel Forbidden and the Megid General started to get covered in fiery dark aura, which is joined by sparks of gold lighting, causing him to roar in pain.
"What...what happening to him?" Sister Lilly questioned, starting to become scared as she and everyone else saw what is happening with Liegel Forbidden.
"Saber!" Fuegoleon shouted, causing the swordsman of flames to turn his head towards direction of the captain of the Crimson Lions, making him surprise slightly.
"Yeah?!" Saber shouted back whilst glancing towards Liegel Forbidden in case he pulled a sneak attack.
"I don't know what going on with Liegel, but it seems that he can't be saved. Put him to rest." Fuegoleon instructed, causing Saber to become silent for a few seconds before nodding his head and sheathing Rekka into his Seiken Sword-Driver and pressing the open cover of "Primitive Dragon".
Better and Better Finishing Passage!
The voice announced before Saber unsheathed the sword of flames.
Unsheathe the Flames!
Elemental Compilation Slash!
The voice announced again just as fire, water, earth, wind and lighting surround the blade of Rekka.
"This is the end, Liegel!" Saber shouted before swinging Rekka, releasing arcs of multi-elemental slashes.
The attacks struck Liegel Forbidden without any resistance, causing him to fly backwards before crashing onto the ground.
As everyone watched Liegel Forbidden slowly got back onto his feet, gold lighting sparked around him, causing the Megid General more pain before becoming motionless, resulting in him limply releasing his hold on his sword.
When the sword struck the ground, Liegel Forbidden got consumed in an explosion.
Everything became silent, staring at the sport where the Megid General.
"He…..he did it. Saber defeated Liegel….." Buster muttered in a stunned tone of voice, which took a few seconds for the Magic Knights to realize the implication behind those words.
With the swordsman of flames, Saber re-sheathed Rekka and took out "Primitive Dragon", causing his armor to disappear.
"Fweh! Glad that's ov..." Asta began to say, but his voice trailed off as the red-scaled teen suddenly collapsed onto the ground, falling unconscious.
"Asta!" Sister Lilly exclaimed as she began to run towards Asta.
Luckily, Asta was caught by Primitive Dragon who appeared from a cyan light.
The appearance of the cyan-coloured dragon caused Blades, Buster and Slash to quickly become on guard whilst Father Orisi, who is just behind Sister Lilly, to quickly grab the nun.
"W-who are you?" Sister Lilly asked in a scared tone of voice just as she and Father Orisi stared up at Primitive Dragon.
"..." Primitive Dragon seemed to become anxious as he attempted to hide behind the unconscious Asta.
"I don't believe there's nothing to fear, Primitive Dragon seemed to be in a calmed state." Fuegoleon said in a reassured tone of voice as he and the others approached them.
"But...the newspapers..." Father Orisi said in a low tone of voice as he stared at Primitive Dragon.
"Well. It would seem that's old news now." Fuegoleon responded just as Salamander approuched Primitive Dragon and examined him in a curious manner.
"S-stop it." Primitive Dragon said, becoming nervous with how close Salamander is.
"He speaks?!" Everyone thought at the same time, their eyes widening.
"So...What's happening now then?" Blades asked as he glanced at the others.
The questioned caused Primitive Dragon to glare at him, Slash and Buster.
"H-hey! We're not going to do anything to Asta!" Buster said in a panic tone of voice as he and the other two quickly back away.
"Primitive Dragon seemed to have started to become protective of Asta all of a sudden." Shamshir commented, causing Kris to nod her head in agreement, gaining a small smirk behind her helmet just as Salamander began to calm Primitive Dragon.
"For now, we need to put order back in the village whilst you...three...?" Fuegoleon began to say before trailing off, not sure how to address the others before making a decision.
"It would be best if you three get out of here with Asta." Fuegoleon said, making Kris, Shamshir and Primitive Dragon to nod their heads.
"But..." Sister Lilly began to say, but trailed off.
"I understand that your two are close, but Asta's position still has a dubious opinion amongst the upper-class, so it would be best if he stay out of sight." Fuegoleon explained, making Sister Lilly to slowly nod her head.
Unknown to the group, Storious is observing them.
"So your story has come to an end, Liegel." Storious stated in a cold tone of voice before the Megid General began to walk away.
Similarly, he wasn't the only one who has been observing the group.
"So you managed to overcome that fate..." Finsternis thought as she lowered Kurayami...having planned on joining the fight in case the worst case scenario happened.
And there we have it, Asta managing to befriend Primitive Dragon and gain the "Elemental Dragon", granting him a new magic, which featutes multiple attributes in itself, through the once pitch-black Grimoire before heading to battle and finally defeating Liegel Forbidden. Blades, Buster, Slash and Fuegoleon also took part in the battle. I know that everyone would have expected for Yuno to appear, but he would still likely getting examined by Owen to make sure that he's fully uneffected by the Chaotic-Mana.
In Gotchard, whilst the episode itself is not interesting, we found out that the three-eyed being behind the Door of Darkness is called the Dark King who seemed to have been able to slip through the door at the end of the episode.
Please review and until next time.
worseman:
1) Well, Liegel Forbidden certainly gave everyone, even a great spirit, a hard time with him wielding far greater Mana than normally and making clones who just as strong as the original.
2) Sorry about Sayo's possessive attitude towards Asta, but it may lessen now that Asta is no longer being threatened by the burden of Chaotic-Mana.
3) That wil likely be the only time that the sisters will act like that. I just wanted to write how Kecil and Utama interacted with each other without anyone else present, since I haven't done before.
4) Finsternis will gradually fall onto the darkened path that all wielders of Kurayami tend to walk.
howard576:
1) Finsternis will likely start to see more images of the multiple dark future visions and start to act indepently, moving away from from her cooperative nature and with Mars, he will make his reapperance within the story.
2) I'm not a big fan with how Atropos is acting towards Rin, the first few times were reasonable since she was putting doubt into Rin's mind about how her father was the supposed traitor of the Alchemy Association, but now Atropos is just bullying Rin.
3) The next release date is the 30th April, but not just chapter 370, but chapter 371 as well apparently.
Raidentensho: Thanks for the idea, but I've arleady have plans for the Holy Sword wielder that resides within the Heart Kingdom.
Arturwho: Thank you.
starvader24345: Asta would have be have been a likely candiate if Salamander didn't choose Fuegoleon.
