Narrator: Threatened by a ruthless demon, humanity was on the brink of destruction. All seemed lost until a lone mage stepped forward and took up the fight. After his triumph, he was hailed as the Wizard King, and his story became legend.

Clover Castle was under siege at the hands of elves possessing the bodies members of the Golden Dawn, led by Latry, Patry's cousin who had fully taken over the Vice Captain Langris Vaude's body and made a dead sprint for King Clover. Meanwhile, upon their arrival Noelle, Nozel, Kirsch, Mimosa with En and Zora in tow decided to break in separate groups effort to secure the royal houses Silva and Vermillion, where in the latter house.... Nebra and Solid were locked in a desperate battle which saw Noelle's older severely wounded.

Kivn: Unfortunately for you lot, this is a sealed area so no matter how much you want them to land, your attacks will never hit me in a decisive fashion. Again... I SAY DIE, ROYAL SCUM!

Noelle: Water Creation Magic, Sea Dragon's Lair! Seriously?!

Kivn: You're just wasting time girl. All you're really going to do is exhaust yourself and make it easier to kill you painfully. And after all I did to ensure you would actually die painlessly and peacefully. Oh well, such is the annoying pride of you royal humans.

Noelle: She... she's too powerful.... What do I do? Nebra is barely hanging on by a thread and Solid is scared completely out of his mind. There's the fact Nozel is wounded as well. Even with the usage of Mana Skin, using Sea Dragon's Lair or Roar in this magical space is next to impossible to do.

Nozel: Despite using all my strength for my magic I can't manage all that I want to put out.

SHINGGGGG!

Solid: NOOOOO!

BLINNNNG!

Nozel: All I can manage right now are simple and local based spells from close range! Only one strategy could work.

Kivn: You're very resilient but I wonder how much your pride will keep you afloat.

Noelle: He's struggling too much. Think, Noelle! If Tyrus, Asta and the other Black Bulls were here, I know they would come up with something next to crazy!

CHINNNNG!

Solid: GAHHHHHHH! IF WE DON'T GET OUT OF HERE, WE CAN'T BREAK HER DAMN SPELL, WE'RE GONNA DIE HERE!

In a desperate bid, Noelle called back to the very first time she met her squadmates Asta and Tyrus in which she nearly drowned, deciding to use a similar strategy onto Kivn, the elf possessing Golden Dawn member Letoile Becquerel.

Noelle: I might not be able to use Creation Magic within this area the elf put up... BUT WHAT IF I INTENTIONALLY CAST THAT ONE SPELL I NEARLY DROWNED IN?! I LOSE CONTROL!

Noelle: Nozel, please lend me your aid! We can beat her, together!

Kivn: This is..... I don't understand.... what is this brat doing?! Fool! You just encased this entire space with nothing but water!

Kivn: Another Atlas can absorb all of the water and trap everything she unleashed inside! If I don't want to drown, I have no choice but to undo the original spell.

Kivn: AHHHHHBUUUUUU! You wretched, cheating human- AHHHHHH!

Kivn: I didn't even see it coming! Such speed, precision and accuracy! They both annihilated me in a mere second!

Nebra: A-amazing. It's only expected from Nozel but to see this type of power... r-radiating off of Noelle. I would have never thought it possible.

Noelle: I-I um, guess we did it Nozel. I. I really appreciate you going through with my reckless plan when I know you could've come up with something wiser.

Nozel: You're right.... it was- a most unique style of fighting. Certainly unbefitting of royalty. I can see where being in the Black Bulls has left its imprint on you, Noelle.

Noelle: About that-

Nozel: But because of that strategy, we were able to win. I should be the one thanking you, Noelle. You've learned a many great things, since joining that squad. It was because you looked like our mother, that I was afraid of losing her again in a sense.

Noelle: Wait, what?

Nozel: I hadn't expected you to become this strong. It was always in your blood but to see how quickly you've accelerated. That was why I placed you in the Black Bulls. I did it so I could protect you from the most dangerous missions at any cost. I couldn't risk losing you. I had a burning desire to protect you as your older brother. But I can see I was wrong. My ego is what you kept you from the battlefield, away from the Silver Eagles. Yet despite my reservations, you still became stronger than what I could ever anticipate. You're more capable than I saw initially which means I was mistaken.... and for that... ahem, what I'm trying to say Noelle is that.... I'm sorry for everything I put you through.

Noelle: Ah......

Nebra: Nozel.... apologizing?

Solid: To Noelle of all people?! It's impossible!

Noelle: Nozel... Thank you. Truly, big brother. I'm actually glad you put me into the Black Bulls when you did.

Nozel: Stand firm, however. We're not out of the fight yet, the elf's power is still very noticeable. Let's see to Nebra's wound while we have the respite- GUUUUHHHH!

Despite the brief victory, Kivn managed to gravely wound Nozel leaving Noelle to fend for herself in addition to her biggest detractors, her siblings. In response to her heightened emotions and plight, Noelle responded with the mana in space, unlocking unforeseen power!

Noelle: Water Creation Magic, Valkyrie Armor!

Solid: N-Noelle!

Kivn: Her magic... it's nowhere near my own. But even I can tell it shot up exponentially. What kind of magic is she using now? Royal brat, if you think that's enough to close the gap between us, then allow me to smash whatever delusions you were thinking along with your body and soul!

Kivn: RAHHHH!

BOOOOM! ZROOOOM!

Kivn: DAMN YOU, JUST DIE!

Kivn: How is this girl moving so fast through this space? It should be next to impossible to even put up a comptent offense let alone someone's magic to explode like this! She must be riding the mana from the magical attack in addition to the disturbances in the magical spaces, like waves in an ocean? That new armor.... could it be the reason she's so easily able to control all the mana around her?! Fine then, but can you avoid all of these ones! I STILL HAVE THE ADVANTAGE, IF ANYTHING SHE'S JUST BUYING TIME TO DELAY THE INEVITABLE! If I can even the slightest chink in your defense, you are done for, you WILL die!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Kivn: There's no way!

Noelle: It's downright unbelievable... I was struggling not all that long ago to take her down with Nozel. But now.... IT FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN FREED FROM MY CAGE AND OF ANY CEILINGS! I HAD NO IDEA MAGIC COULD BE THIS FREEING! Is this what Nozel, Vanessa, Captain Yami and Tyrus all feel like when they let loose with their magic?! Wait....

She gains a mental image of her mother, Acier in her Steel Armor.

Noelle: Is this... how Mother could have possibly felt whenever she took to the battlefield?

Nozel: Mother... The Dancing Princess of the Battlefield.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Noelle: HM?!

Kivn: How? How did you manage to cut through all of my attacks?!

Noelle: IT'S OVERRRRR, ELF!

Kivn: I THINK NOT! WILLFUL COMPASS! These mana currents you seem to favor and dance so leisurely around elegantly about. I'm going to change their destination.... as well... AS YOUR OWN ATTACK, YOU HAVE A ONE WAY TRIP TO HELL, WRETCHED HUMAN SCUM! YOU'RE MINE NOW, ROYAL, NOW DIE!

Kivn: But.... how? Did she overwrite my mana's will?!

Noelle: I might have been concerned about elegance once upon a time but that's not it. This armor, anything that even remotely touches this mana.... IS UNDER MY CONTROL! In other words, elf? You lose. I'M FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE, MY SIBLINGS LIVES AND EVERYONE I EVER CARED ABOUT SO THAT THEY CAN LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY IN THE CLOVER KINGDOM, AND IF I HAVE TO FORCE MY WAY FORWARD BY BEATING YOU.... THEN SO BE IT! I WILL DECIMATE YOU AND THIS CRUEL, EVIL WORLD YOU TRAPPED US INSIDE!

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Just as one battle concluded in one of the three royal houses, which resulted in victory for Nozel, his sister Noelle and her Black Bull squadmate Zora Ideale, another one was just reaching its fever pitch climax in the Royal House Vermillion as explosions rang throughout the childhood home of Mimosa, Kirsch, Leopold, Fuegoleon and Mereoleona. These elves one of which possessed Golden Dawn Senior Knight Alecdora Sandler had expressed his contempt for the vain royal's magic.

Alecdora: Blow them away and these damned petals come right back at you! Human magic, how dare they delay us with such impertinent spells?

Fresh off of saving some of their servants from a brazen attack, Mimosa and Kirsch along having brought En Rigard as he cleared some of the petals out hoping to find more living people. Mimosa uses her Magic Flower Guidepost as she figures out where the rest of the elves are littered at.

Mimosa: According to my guidepost, they've invaded the third floor as well as the lower courtyard.

Kirsch: Mm. So the safest and therefore most beautiful route for escape would be..... that way!

Mimosa: Good eye, brother. Everyone please hurry, the rest of our backup is en route, we ask that you please wait outside for them!

Noble: Sir Kirsch, Lady Mimosa, we are forever in your debt. Thank you.

Servant: Yes you saved us!

Kirsch: Well of course, you are in the esteemed Vermillion residence. Which means any and all advantages belong to us three. And would you look at that, my beautiful Cherry Blossom Magic is helping level the playing field by hiding and protecting our allies while confusing the enemies and inhibiting their movements. And the Fungus Magic from these shriveled up little mushrooms weaken the enemy's magic and limits their ability in finding us that quicker. And of course, my dear little sister Mimosa is using her innovative Plant Magic to help pinpoint and track the elves location down to their very last breath, not to mention deep search our pristine home and guide us so that we may not aimlessly walk into enemy hands! If the goal was evacuation, then our magics united are absolutely tailormade for just such a perilous situation, without any unnecessary bloodshed to be had at all. HOW BEAUTIFUL!?

Mimosa: How many times do I have to ask you to shut up, Kirsch? Your loudness might ACTUALLY attract the enemy. My squadmates from the Golden Dawn are only our enemies as of now, because of the reincarnation spell and the elves that have completely taken over their bodies. Deep down, I still know people like Klaus and Hamon are in there, trying to fight back and take control. I swear that the remaining Royal, Magic Knights and I will return you all back to normal. I promise you all!

Baval: Well hello there, beautiful. Working hard or hardly working?

Mimosa: UH- DAVID! The elves got you too?!

Baval puts his palm up in a menacing fashion, signaling not only Mimosa to shut up but stopping En and Kirsch from moving in their tracks.

Baval: Nope, sorry. My name is Baval.

Kirsch: Not good at all. Just unpleasant, I couldn't even sense his mana at all, did he cloak it with something?

En: If he found us, could it due to one of our spells malfunctioning? Or are the elves just naturally this fast?

Baval: Please calm down, calm down. Why the angry faces? All that trying hard, I apologize for whatever you three had going on, just wanted to drop by and say hi. Believe me if I wanted to kill you? Your heads would be at my feet right about now, so please refrain in getting all bristled up.

Mimosa: That's not all he wants. What's his game?

Kirsch: Spill the contents from your filthy mouth! What are you truly after, elf?!

Baval: Oh nothing, really. Let's just sit back and have a chat, doesn't that sound more appealing? I'll just get to the good stuff, you've probably figured this all out but we elves have reincarnated with so much more powerful magic than you measly humans possess and as such have gathered at the royal capital and in particular, Clover Castle. You... can sense it too, can't you? The fact there's way more powerful magic than ours heading right to this very location.

Mimosa realizes just who the elf is talking about. Rhya and the very same person who had almost killed Asta, Tyrus and Yuno.

Mimosa: Impossible.... is he talking about the leader of the elves?! That dungeon!

Baval: It's on its way here, no point in really trying to escape now. Either way, you will die here tonight, that much I can promise you. SO.... why don't you, I DON'T KNOW.... give up and relax. Embrace death. I'm formidable, but the rest of my friends, they're just as deadly and proficient when it comes to their hatred of humans. Man... this really is happening.... I can't wait to see everyone when this is all said and done.

Mimosa: You've done more than enough. I won't let you hurt anyone else, we will defeat you no matter what it takes, even if it costs us our lives, we will never give up!

Baval: That's all well and fine my dear, but you see you three..... As soon as your king's been slaughtered and reduced to nothingness just like we were. We shall take the next glorious step in our retribution against you humans. We actually happened to send our most powerful warrior to your leader right now... his death shall be a most glorious victory for us! Believe me, you think my friends and I were sadistic, this guy coming for the throne is about as vile, disgusting, twisted and abhorrent as they come. So King Clover is as good as dead. Oh, I also forgot to say, my friend has something particularly nasty going on with his magic, if he uses that to kill, then your King will have no choice but to croak.

Ledior: AH-AH- WHOOOOOAA!

Ledior was able to throw down a spatial shield but the attack was so rapid it cut through him and the ground underneath like a knife through butter, making him lose an immense amount of blood! It wasn't the attack that overwhelmed his body and mind but rather, the spell-caster who launched the near fatal attack.

Ledior: My magic won't be enough to... counter his! How has Langris become this powerful?!

Liliane: LEDIOR!

Kira XIII: YOU POMPOUS INGRATE! JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING IN THIS GRAND ROYAL HALL!? I DEMAND ANSWERS, BOY!

Liliane: L-Langris, my dear, what has gotten into you?! Please, snap out of it, my love!

Latry: Ha.... That's your current king? No wonder why the Clover Kingdom has gone to ruin in this time and age, you look way too seedy to be ACTUAL royalty.

Kira XIII: SEEDY?! I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD FOR SUCH AN INSULT, VICE-CAPTAIN VAUDE! YOU TWO SHOULD BE ABSOLUTELY ASHAMED! I KNEW YOUR SON WAS NOTHING BUT A VILE TRAITOR TO HIS KINGDOM!

Ledior: Y-Your Majesty, please you're mistaken!

Liliane: Yes my husband is correct, my little Langris would never do something this abhorrent or fooli-

Kira XIII: SILENCE! ALL OF OUR DEFENSES ARE OUT AND THEY CHOSE A TIME LIKE THIS TO LET THIS LITTLE LUNATIC OUT OF HIS CAGE?! I SWEAR, JULIUS AND THE OTHER MAGIC KNIGHTS ARE SO DAMNED USELESS! YOU BOY, HAVE LEFT ME NO CHOICE, I WILL SHOW YOU THE FULL EXTENT OF THE ROYAL HOUSE CLOVER'S POWER!

Latry looks on neutral as the monarch giggles manically, for the first time his grimoire glowing intensely.

Kira XIII: YAHAHAHAHA! NOW BEHOLD THE VAST GAP IN OUR MAGIC POWERS, FOOL! THIS IS THE POWER OF A TRUE KING, I WOULD NOT HASSLE YOU IF YOU WERE CURRENTLY SHAKING IN YOUR BOOTS, IT'S ONLY NATURAL! MY LIGHT MAGIC, ABSOLUTE MONARCH OF DIVINE BRILLIANCE!

Making it quite clear he was compensating for something, a golden replica of Augustus trounces the actual Clover Monarch as he shouts at Latry/Langris once more.

Kira XIII: WHAT SAY NOW, NOBLE BRAT?! BEHOLD MY GODLIKE SPELL, YOU IGNORANT FOOL, YOU MAY BEGIN GROVELING WHENEVER YOU FEEL LIKE-

SLICCCCCCCEEEEE!

Kira: WHATTTTTTTTTTTT?! WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?!

Latry: You are such a loudmouth. How pitiful, you honestly believed such a farce of a spell, as slow as it was developing would actually strike fear into me? As a token of making me become patient with you, I won't kill you immediately. No, I'm going to make bleed slowly, painfully, and toy with you every which as you royalty so richly deserve, you'll have no choice but to beg me for death to arrive that much sooner. First let's start with your legs so you have no way to move.

Kira: GYYEEEEEE!

Ledior: Wait Langris, STOP!

Before he could move forward with the execution, the elf possessing the Vice Captain feels someone wrap around him. Finnes, Langris's fiancée jumps on his back.

Finnes: Langris, please! I beg you, stop with whatever you're thinking! COUGH, COUGH! If you do go through with this, the people you care about the most as well as you are going to be racked with sadness. A lot of people are going to be hurt, maybe even die. Please open your eyes-

Latry: Shut your mouth, whore.

Latry roughly tosses her aside and off of him.

Latry: Your kind killed all of us elves and you dare want to give me the speech about who would be sad? YOU... WILL DIE FIRST, WOMAN!

Finral: LANGRIS, DON'T DO IT, BROTHER!

He turns his wrath onto Finnes but what the elf doesn't realize is the sounds of boots hitting the floor at a break-neck pace and grabs her before the fatal blow could be dealt. A portal is summoned and emerges Finral, securing his childhood friend and crush as they go crashing near Finral's father and stepmother.

Finral: Finnes, please tell me he didn't hurt you?!

Finnes: Finral... And no, he didn't. You have my sincerest thanks.

Ledior: Finral, you're awake my son?

Latry: I'm sorry, but who the fresh hell are you? Am I supposed to know you?

Finral grits his teeth as they get near the point of cracking from the inside, his worst case scenario has come to fruition.

Finral: GODDAMNIT, I'M YOUR OLDER BROTHER LANGRIS, IT'S ME FINRAL! DON'T DO THIS TO ME!

Yami: Oi, stop trying to act like Prince Charming there, Finral!

Finral: HUHHHHH, I wasn't though! My dad and Finnes were about to die!

Latry: How did these three managed to break past our ranks?

Yami: Oh.... all those other freaky glowin' guys? Yeah we blew right past them, they were a little tricky but come on... we're Magic Knight Squad Captains charged with protectin' the people. That includes the King.... and you, you little shit. I got beef with you, damn near killin' one of my idiots? How you choose to get yer ass beat is completely up to you. So long as Mr. Tooth-Pick here stays out of my way.

Jack: Keh-Keh... My memory seems a bit fuzzy, if I recall you were the one slacking off, Suckyhiro. Damn meathead. Keh-keh, you should thinned your forces out there, Elf-Boy. Because now you don't stand a chance against us!

Latry laughs bitterly as Yami and Jack stand across from him while surveys the new plight ahead.

Latry: Really? You believe you two stand a chance against me? I'd really like to know how you two were able to best my friends so easily.

Yami: You want a demostration? We'd be more than HAPPY to show you, ya little shit!

Finral immediately summons two portals, leaving the rest to the Squad Captain of Praying Mantises and Bulls to neutralize his half-brother.

Yami: We ain't giving ya ass-

Jack: The chance to attack us!

Latry: Heh-heh. Too slow.

Their alarms raise to the max as the all too familiar Spatial Magic associated with Langris Vaude erupt to the surface, causing them to hit the brakes on the synchronized attack.

Latry: My apologies, it seems the spell I automatically triggered will retailate against anyone who attempts to attack me at this very moment. At least try to make me sweat a little, you insignificant human roaches, I'm bored. I sense you two are strong, prove me right.

Jack and Yami: We can do that and SO MUCH MORE!

Ledior looks between his two sons, remarking just how far along they've come not even recognizing the elf that has taken over Langris.

Ledior: His Spatial Magic is incredible. I don't think there's a mage in all the Clover Kingdom that can cancel a spell, let alone two like that! And it's extremely durable in terms of protection, has Langris been holding onto it this entire time?!

Finral: Father, Lady Finnes. Please get out of here with the King while you have the chance and let the Squad Captains and I handle Langris.

Ledior: You fool! You're nothing more than the transport for the Black Bulls, you don't stand a chance against Langris! If I couldn't do anything Finral, what makes you think you can?! He'll rip you apart!

Finral: Honestly I don't care if I can beat Langris, I'm going to control what I know I can, Father. And that's making sure people don't die under my watch! Don't doubt my capabilities, you've been doing that your whole life. I may be just the Black Bulls transport mule and he may be the Vice Captain of the Golden Dawn.... But right now the reason I'm fighting is because, I know deep down there, Langris is begging for my help! And as his older brother, I WILL NOT DENY HIM MY ASSISTANCE!

Ledior and his wife, by extension Finral's stepmother trade concerning looks.

Ledior: Finral, please.

Yami: Do me a favor and stop underestimating my squad's consistent ride? You should have more faith in yer boy there.

Ledior: Wha.. But I-

Yami: Hate to do this to ya- ah who am I kiddin' you're wrecked to fuckin' shit and kinda in the way. Listen, do like Finral said and get the hell out of dodge, it's gonna get nasty real fast.

Yami roughly picks Finral's father up by the collar, his arms gone from the earlier blast.

Yami: You're already armless, you wanna be headless too? I'll throw you in my damn self.

Ledior: WAUGGGGHHHH!

Liliane: Langris, my sweet little Langris! Baby, please snap out of it!

Yami: Yep, you too, old bat.

Liliane: NO, UNHAND ME YOU BRUTE! LANGRIS!

Finnes: Finral, I'm scared. Please promise me you'll come back alive when this is over.

Finral gives her a reassuring look and smile having turned around.

Finral: Sure, I hear you Finnes. I'll make sure to bring Langris back as well.

She nods as she dives through the portal as he takes huge sigh of relief when the King suddenly shrills at the top of his lungs.

Kira XIII: WAIT WHY DID YOU TAKE THEM?! I AM THE KING, I SHOULD BE YOUR FIRST DAMNED PRIORITY!

Finral: Oh right, my apologies, Your Majesty. He's so annoying, yet he has mistresses? How do those ladies even put up with him, honestly?!

Kira XIII: About time, I swear.... All of you Magic Knights are so- GAHAHAHAHA!

The portal quickly gets obliterated from the inside out just as he tried stepping through, Latry the main cause.

Latry: What's the rush there, royal? I still have to rip you apart piece by piece, limb from limb, organ from organ.

Finral: I won't let you, Langris. Knock it off!

Jack: Keh-Keh! This little shrimp bite talks a big game, he's definitely worth getting fileted and slashed apart. I'll cut him down to size! Severing Magic.... Death Scythe, LUNATIC SLASH!

Several high speed slashes rush towards Latry and his defense as it they penetrate, they seemingly break apart only for the attacks to re-attach at hit the empty void that was once part of Clover Castle the elf possessed Langris had transported, sending the King of Clover down tumbling.

Kira XIII: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! YOU MORONIC MANTIS!

Finral: TALK ABOUT A CRAZY WAY TO HELP A PERSON AVOID DEATH! You do realize you may have sent the KING tumbling to his death?!

Jack: Wonderful, just wonderful! You were able to dice up my slashes!

Finral: Nevermind, he's already focusing on Langris.

Latry: Fu. You still think you peons can hold a candle to my insurmountable magic? It doesn't matter if I have to kill you first, I will get my hands on the king, eventually. You've only given that egotistical clown-show a ten minute head start at best. IT'S TIME FOR YOU HUMANS TO KNOW YOUR PLACE AND BEG FOR MERCY!

Jack: KEH! BRING IT PRETTY BOY!

Yami: Hang on, he can really for real use attack spells while still holding up that defensive spell? Not fighting fair, I see you little brat.

Latry: If one of these even made contact with, you'd die instantly if not seconds after it hit you. Spatial Magic, ARCHANGEL'S CRASH!

Finral: Spatial Magic, Fallen Angel's Wingbeat!

The elf and Finral engage in a battle of wits as the offensive spatial magic just begins flying out like a frenzy....

Finral: The difference in our power is too noticeable. Langris was already a monster beforehand but with the elf taking over his body, it's like fighting a goliath! I don't think I can even block half of these with my magic alone.... CAPTAIN YAMI, CAPTAIN JACK, YOU'LL HAVE TO AVOID ANY AND ALL THAT COME YOUR WAY!

Yami accepts the semi-command as he begins to bail out.

Yami: WHO THE HELL GAVE YOU THE GUMPTION TO START ORDERING PEOPLE AROUND, FINRAL?! Dark Magic, Black Hole!

Jack: Reinforcement Magic, Leg Strength Boost!

Yami: Dark Magic, Dark Cloaked Lightless Slash!

The attack doesn't land but he's quickly bailed out by Finral's portal.

Yami: Thank you for that.

Finral: Don't mention it! WHOA!

Yami: If we're gonna land a decisive blow on the Golden Dawn's Vice Captain, we need to figure out a way to do away with his fuckin' defense artillery he's got guarding him. But he keeps attacking us fucking relentlessly, like we kicked in the hornet's nest just like outside, only we're dealing with the Queen Bee if anything! If he keeps this up, we'll be dead before long and Finral's magic can only cancel his punk ass brother's magic attack for so long. Long, drawn battles put us at the disadvantage, if we want to scrap, it'll have to quick and pincer-like. Which means-

He sends another Lightless Slash Latry's way, the attack not even fazing him.

Yami: We'll need more attacks to break his barrier, once and for all. And at the same time! I can cover this side, no problem.

Jack: I haven't had decent prey like this in a long bloody time! Ohhhhh, I want to slash him, I WANT TO SLASH HIM SO GODDAMN BAD! I NEED TO! YOU'RE MINE, YOU DAMNED GOLDEN BRAT! HOW ABOUT THIS?!

Thanks to his innate ability to transform the very nature of his magic...... Jack's ferocious blades are able to cut through just about anything and any type of spell, all due to his intense need to slash things. Even though Spatial Magic has its own unique properties, the Captain of the Green Praying Mantises was still able to slice through it all the same!

Latry: H-How?! How is he doing this?!

Yami: Well fuck me.... the perverted, masoschist, weirdo genius actually did it! Time to end this.

Jack: Severing Magic!

Yami: Dark Magic! DARK CLOAKED- YA READY, JACK?!

Jack: HELL YES, YAMI! LET THEM RIP!

DEATH SCYTHE!

DIMENSION SLASH!

The attacks finally break through destroying the last of the possessed Langris's unstoppable defensive spatial barrier.

Latry: N-NO!

Jack: KEH-KEH-KEH!

Finral: You guys did it! ALRIGHT!

Latry: Did they?

More attacks come through and actually break the wall and ground, sending Yami and Jack scrambling for cover.

Jack: GAHH!

Yami: Damn it, that was our best shot!

Latry: I commend them. I didn't think that they would get rid of so many of my defenses so easily, BUT THEY WERE STILL ONE MOVE SHORT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

The elf turns his attention onto Finral as he immediately begins to overwhelm his possessed body's half brother.

Latry: IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN'T EVEN PROPERLY ATTACK OR DEFEND WITH YOUR SPATIAL MAGIC!

Finral: My power can't defeat this menace inside of Langris.... GHHHHH! BUT EVEN SO!

One gashing cut into his sides later, and Finral begins to summons his next spell.

Latry: I'LL SEND YOU BACK TO THE HELL YOU CRAWLED OUT OF!

Finral: Spatial Magic, Fallen Angel's Wingbeat!

Jack and Yami who were seemingly defeated, emerge from dual portals weapons raised!

Latry: Where did they come from?! He must've.... he dropped his defenses so he could drop them back into the battle!

Finral: My Fallen Angel's Wingbeat can forcibly transport a person from one spot to another. LANGRIS, EVEN IF IT KILLS ME! I WILL SAVE YOU, ALONG WITH THE REST OF MY FRIENDS!

Latry: Bahahahahaha! Well, that's too bad, filthy mortal! All three of you are very fast, but I'M JUST A LITTLE BIT FASTER! YOU ONLY SPED UP YOUR DEATHS AND LED YOURSELVES TO THE SAME EXECUTION AT THE SAME TIME!

Finral: It's fine, these two.... they're two of the toughest Magic Knight Squad Captains I know and have seen in action! If anyone can win this fight, IT'S THEM!

SHING!

One of Jack's blades slashes Langris's face, scarring and immediately drawing blood from the nobleman!

Jack: The more I use my blades.... THE FASTER I SLASH!

Yami: Alright, little boy.... time for beddy-bye! And I've got just the thing for you, my Dark Magic, Dark Cloaked Lightless Blunt Strike! Say goodnight.

Latry: Guhhhhhhh!

Finral: They got him, this should definitely-

Latry: I don't understand it... HOW COULD YOU HUMANS EVER BEAT US ELVES! I HATE YOUR KIND!

The elves' mana boils over as massive chunks of Spatial Magic rip apart Clover Castle from the inside.

Latry: YOU'RE PUTRID, PETTY, REPREHENSIBLE, SELFISH, PREDATORY HUMANS! JUST.... DISAPPPPPEAAAARRRRR!

Jack: Well, looks like he finally went off the deep end.

Yami: This mana... it's purely evil and vengeful. What's going on with him?! Great, WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO NOW?! His magic is growing more obscenely by the second!

Finral: I- nothing... it's all over. I don't have enough magic to compete with, not with the state he's in he wouldn't even sniff at my puny mana. So it's perfect situation, because of that he wouldn't notice me. Langris....

Finral sweats, grits his teeth and even cries as he sees the elf continuing to put enormous stress onto Langris's body.

Finral: When I actually think about it now, we've never actually fought ever since we were kids and became brothers. I always ran away from home, using my lack of talent compared to you as an excuse when I should've been the big brother that you truly deserved. This is... my last chance! You see... I'm a failure at a flirting.... and a coward. But your older brother? He tends to excel when it comes down to agility and accuracy.

He summons a Fallen Angel's Wingbeat in addition to a portal as the mini sphere floats casually on through.

Finral: So.. I'm going to stop you, even to my last, dying breath!

And that's exactly when older brother does as he puts temper-tantrum throwing younger brother in his place with a mean right hook.

Finral: I HOPE YOU'RE READY, LANGRIS.... COME BACK TO US! WAKE UPPPPPPPPP!

CRACKKKKKK!

Langris: Gahhhhhhhhhhh!

Langris... Langris! LANGRIS! LISTEN TO ME! Man, for being the talented little brother, you sure can be a massive handful dude. I mean making do all that. I'm... sorry it took me so long, I'm not as good at this type of thing like some of my other friends. Come back with me, Langris. Dad's worried about you. Your mom too.

Langris look at Finral as his older brother extends his hand which he slowly accepts as they go back to the world of the living, both now passed out from a brutal battle.

Yami: That's real cute and all, but I just woke his ass up from one coma. Meh, still a damn good job Finral, as sappy as it was. I'll let you have this moment to reconcile, ya fool. But what I really want to know is... what are these assholes real endgame. Wipe out humanity and just reap the benefits of what we did as a civilization? No they can't be it, they've got something else sinister in mind.

The captains overlook the massive dungeon as it continually looms large over the Noble Realm. Just then, Patry continues his flight towards said floating rock in the sky, anticipating the awakening of the real Licht.

Patry: Soon, very soon. I'll be able to bear full witness to you awakening once again Licht. It won't be much longer, dear friend. Eh?

He stops in one of the open spaces when he sees... Gauche along with Marie in tow but elf-fied.

Patry: Did you two just get here as well?

Marie: Brother... who is he? That's not Licht.

Gauche: Patry. I always remembering you looking up to Licht, but you've copied his appearance too?

Patry: Copy? What do you mean, I do not understand. It actually wasn't my choice if that is what you're implying. I just happened to reincarnate into this body one day. I suppose you could call it my fate.

Gauche: Eh... let's still call it a creepy fate.

Rhya suddenly drops out of nowhere, being the ever so slick copy-cat.

Rhya: Upsie-Daisy. Droit! Long time, no see buddy.

Droit: Haha. I just got reincarnated but I was just wondering about where you were hiding, Rhya. Good to see you, friend. It doesn't really feel long, to be honest.

Rhya: True, that is a good point. And look at you, little Eclat.

Eclat: H-Hello, Sir.

Rhya: Ehhhh?! Why so formal, you know who I am!

Patry: Rhya, do you know where Licht is?

Rhya: Patry, hey there. Yeah about that... we kind of hit a snag with him. He's using a fake body to get around right now, so it's either because of that or given he's the one who activated the forbidden reincarnation spell. But his memories aren't fully returned to him yet, so he's returned to sleep right now.

Patry: I see. That is a most unfortunate development for our plans.

Rhya: Still the gang is all here now as it stands. The others are out back waiting for us.

Patry looks out at the many civilians, children and adults, nobility and commoners all scrambling for cover, screaming for help as he witnesses it with a burning anger and disgust.

Patry: You're right, Rhya. And I'm fairly certain those that have possessed the Golden Dawn have all but eradicated the humans. There's but a few skittering amongst the ruins right now while we've been gone. Judging by the huge chunk taken out of the castle, it's safe to assume that all of the royalty that represents the Clover Kingdom have been assassinated as well. Latry may have overdone it but at least he left no stone unturned. So long as that pompous, greedy and egotistical king no longer in the land of the living, I shall be content. All that remains for us to do.... is to secure the final magic stone into the pedestal of the castle. From there on, the spell will be activated throughout the entire kingdom and not a single human soul will be left alive. And that magic stone is within our grasp already. We will wash away the malice that burns within our very cores as a mere side effect and then. OUR REINCARNATIONS BROUGHT ON BY THE FORBIDDEN SPELL WILL BE TRULY COMPLETE! After humanity is obliterated, we shall reclaim this world and once again make it a peaceful one for elves and elves alone!

Yami pulls out his cigarette as he puffs out smoke by the cough.

Yami: I don't know what to feel out, but I'm guessing there's gonna be a shit ton of guys and gals pouring through that giant hole. It's not gonna be an easy fight. Wonder what my dumbass surbodinates and the other Magic Knights I've come across are up to right now. At this rate, we'll have to flatten the elves all on our own. You need a break, Bean-Stalk?

Jack: Nahhhh, I'm gonna slash them all first.

Yami: Keep dreamin', you masochist.
