It appeared as though humanity would be destroyed by the demons.
But a single mage saved them all.
He was called the Wizard King, and he became a legend.
To Help Somebody Someday
What the heck's going on?!
We can't handle something that big!
First of all, we have to get the kids out of here.
Kids, take turns riding out of here on that!
Okay!
This is cool!
It's so warm!
It'll take at least ten or twenty minutes to get them all out of here.
We have to hold this thing back until then.
I won't let you get near them!
Die... All of you...
B-Baro? What's wrong?
Y-You don't know who I am?
Why... did you save me?
You haven't taken responsibility for any of this yet!
I'm not letting you die until you do!
Also, what's your problem? You're trying to kill your own brother?!
You moron!
Looks like my sword's working, so I'm just gonna quickly take care of—
Now your anti-magic won't be able to defeat him so easily!
The dark magic item I just injected him with eats the subject's life force
and produces an explosion of magical power!
How could you do that?!
There's no end to this!
You're wide open, Asta!
Take that!
No!
Granny?
Aw, you got in the way again! Quit butting in, would ya?
I'm not interested in an old lady whose magic's all dried up.
Looks like you've got a mouth on you, whippersnapper.
It's true that as you get older, the magic you can generate internally weakens.
But the power to work with the mana that dwells
in nature can be increased at any age.
I have years of experience and technique. I won't lose to a youngster like you!
Don't you dare underestimate us old hags!
Jeez, you're an annoying old lady, aren't you?
Don't blame me if you kick the bucket today.
Go ahead and try it!
That being said,
I can't fight well while protecting the kids as they escape.
Damn it. This is only going to get worse.
Curse that Gauche! How could he run off like that?!
That fool!
Brother, go back!
No! I'm taking you back into town.
Please, go back!
No! Not only does my magic not work on that woman,
but an insanely powerful magical monster appeared, too.
You'll be in danger if I fight that thing!
But everyone else...
I don't care what happens to the others, as long as you're all right.
Yeah... Who cares about anyone else?
The House of Adlai is a distinguished noble family that anyone would envy.
Little Gauche looks as dignified as his father!
And little Marie is as beautiful as her mother!
So, about you helping me with my business...
What? Mother and Father are dead?
Yes. They were attacked by some robbers after leaving my office.
It's written in their will that they left
their fortune and everything they owned to me.
Every last thing.
You're lying!
Wait, did you guys—
Silence!
What's that look for?
What an impudent brat.
Get out.
Bubby...
Don't worry, Marie.
I'll protect Marie, no matter what it takes!
So as I was saying...
Hey! You again?!
Marie is everything to me!
Is it good?
Yup!
As long as Marie is smiling, I don't need anything else.
Give me all the cash you have.
I-I'm a noble!
And? Nobles should help out the needy.
Only Marie...
Stop right there!
You'll be paying for all of your crimes!
You think I care?!
You punk!
Marie...
Like I care about other people!
Hi-yah!
I hate having a big brother who's so pathetic!
D'oh!
It's true that a lot of people did some awful things to us.
But Sister and the kids at the church are different!
The only reason I wasn't lonely when you weren't with me was because of them!
That's how you became a Magic Knight, too!
Everyone's lives are connected!
We're who we are because they're here!
Brother!
Besides, it's your job as a Magic Knight to protect everyone.
I'm really proud that you're a Magic Knight!
Please just be the cool big brother I'm proud of!
Marie...
Hey! Over here!
Marco!
Thank goodness! You're okay!
Sister and Asta saved me.
That's so like them!
Brat, that robe...
Asta lent it to me so I wouldn't feel lonely while he went to go save everyone else.
He said it had the courage of a Magic Knight in it.
Brother, I'll wait here with Marco. Please go save everyone else!
I'll protect Marie! Leave it to me!
You'd better mean that, you stupid little brat.
I'll make you pay if anything happens to Marie.
Um...
Brother!
Marco!
Marie!
Everyone!
I'm so glad you're safe!
Yeah!
We managed to get away with Sister's magic.
Asta protected us, but that monster's really strong!
It'll be okay! My brother's going to fight with them.
My brother's a Magic Knight just like Asta, after all.
Just like Asta?
So he must be really strong!
Yeah!
Marie, make sure you stay hidden.
Yup!
Brother, do your best!
Do your best!
Asta this, Asta that...
What's so great about that shrimp, anyway?
The captain and the other squad members wouldn't shut up about him,
but he immediately got caught by that woman!
Whatever. I'm sure he and that old hag gave up and ran away.
When you get down to it, people only care about themselves!
Not yet... I'm not done yet!
Jeez, you're so stubborn.
Why don't you stop protecting them and let me catch you already?
Stop protecting them? I'm a Magic Knight!
Not a chance! Even if it kills me!
Is he... actually that stupid?
Stop protecting them? I'm a Magic Knight!
Not a chance! Even if it kills me!
And I'm not going to die until I become the Wizard King!
Asta! On your right!
Crap!
You yelled something stupid like "I'm not going to die,"
and then you actually almost died.
Gauche! Why'd you run off like that?
Shut up!
I didn't run. I only helped Marie escape.
He finally came back, that fool.
I'll deal with you myself!
Wait!
You joining in isn't going to help!
Whatever. I'm going to fight... for the sake of Marie's love!
And so she'll say I'm cool!
Real Double!
Double Refrain!
Whoa, cool!
This monster... Magic keeps bubbling up from it, and it regenerates immediately.
It's no use!
My magic isn't even touching that woman.
I haven't been this incompatible with an opponent since the captain.
Should I use my trump card?
No... No matter how strong my mirror magic becomes, it won't help.
Gauche!
How lame...
I thought you came to help! What are you doing charging in all by yourself?!
We're supposed to be a team!
I protect you! You protect me!
Then we'll be able to fight forever!
An epic strategy, if I do say so myself!
What kind of half-baked strategy is that?
This guy really is an idiot.
Come to think of it, he was pretty half-baked, too.
You really want to keep going? You're not gonna be able to run.
My sister's waiting for me...
Oh, yeah?
Well, if she's that important, join my squad and support her.
What are you talking about?
I'm an escaped convict!
Yeah? And?
And? I don't trust others, and I only think about my sister.
That's fine.
You just protect what you want to protect.
Someday, that'll help somebody out.
Captain, did you know this would happen someday?
Take that!
Granny, how many kids are left?
Just a few more!
I guess I don't have a choice.
Marie will be sad if you all die.
I'll protect you.
Did Gauche just...
What are you acting all tough for?
We're teammates! What else would we do?
You stupid little brat! You need to learn how to talk to your seniors!
And something's shining over there.
Huh?
This is...
Just like that one time!
There it is!
Aw, man! Even that didn't work?
Wait, what was that? A flying anti-magic slash attack?
How did you do it? How did you do it?
The only way to defeat that monster
is to hit it with so many attacks at once that it doesn't have time to regenerate.
The most effective strike was the slash Asta just hit it with,
but he can't launch enough of them.
What would happen if I used my magic on someone else?
Because Gauche had always preferred to act alone and didn't trust others,
he'd never thought of using his magic to support someone else.
But due to his past failures and his reluctant acknowledgment of Asta,
he was able to create a spell that was
fundamentally similar, yet completely different,
and engraved a new page in his grimoire.
But I won't be able to activate this spell with the magic I have now.
Hey, old hag!
Buy me a little time!
Please!
You need to learn how to treat old hags.
I'll only last a minute, so make it fast!
Leftover magic like that isn't going to work at all.
Anyway, Asta! Do that thing again!
You don't have to tell me! If I could, I would!
Aw. How boring.
I have no choice. I've been hiding this, but I'll have to use it now.
Asta!
Yes?
Look at me!
I'll use the magic accumulated in the mirror magic item in my left eye
to activate the new spell.
Mirror Magic:
Mirage Brigade!
Go!
Mirror Slash!
Not yet! Not yet!
Not yet! Not yet! Not yet!
I'm not done yet!
All right!
Wh-What a spell...
It appears that he had all of his life force sucked out.
Baro...
Jeez, you're so annoying.
How long are you gonna keep crying, Neige?
Here, you can have this.
Thanks, Baro.
Baro, I won't forgive her for turning you into this monster.
But the one I can't forgive most of all
is myself for leaving everything to him and just doing what he said!
Just as you said, I haven't taken responsibility for anything.
So I'm going to pay for both of our crimes.
Yeah. And when you're done with that, let's be buddies.
You can use really cool magic, so you'd be really popular!
Thank—
That light...
What is this immense magic?
I've never felt something this huge—
I didn't... see a thing...
Gauche!
A new enemy? Are they attacking everything in sight?
Asta!
Old hag!
Granny!
They hurt my comrade.
They got what they deserved.
He's the one that appeared at the enemy's hideout.
I guess I haven't introduced myself yet.
I am the leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun...
Leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun Licht
Licht.
No way...
A four-leaf clover grimoire... Just like Yuno's?
Petit Clover
Petit Clover!
Marie's in Danger
Marie's in Danger.
All right, one, two, three!
Marie! Are you an angel?!
I can do anything when Marie's around!
But there are times where I must steel my heart and decline Marie's wishes.
For example!
Brother, go back and save Asta and the others!
No! Going back would put you in danger!
Brother! I want to eat some hot, extra-cheesy doria!
No! Eating that would put your tongue in danger!
You'll burn it.
Brother, doesn't lying out in the sun feel nice?
No! If you're in the sun too long, your skin will be in danger!
UV rays are a fearsome enemy!
Brother, show me a really cool spell!
No... Just kidding.
Marie, look at me.
Mirage Brigade!
You're amazing, Brother!
No... Now I'm... in danger.
Brother? Brother? Brother?
That's the guy who was at the Eye of the Midnight Sun hideout!
You're the one who attacked the Clover Kingdom and did that to Captain Fuegoleon...
I'll make you regret that!
