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.
Gauche, Gordon, and Grey did everything they could
to protect their hideout from the attack by the Eye of the Midnight Sun.
And then...
I won't forgive anyone who tries to hurt
my precious friends.
Mana Corkscrew!
Along with the other Black Bull, Henry, they succeeded in driving back
Rades and the others by working together, but...
What the hell was all that?
What did they take from our hideout?!
Master Licht...
Excellent work.
The magic stone in their hideout was stolen from them.
Meanwhile,
at the Eye of the Midnight Sun's hideout where the Royal Knights,
led by Mereoleona, had infiltrated,
the final member of the Third Eye, Raia the Disloyal,
was about to make his move.
Looks like someone dangerous showed up.
Licht is gone right now, too.
Guess I shouldn't be so lazy about this and just go.
Mereoleona vs. Raia the Disloyal
That guy's magic is insane!
Mercury Magic: Silver Bullets.
Silver Blades.
How about this, then?!
Silver Shining Regal Spear!
The Eye of the Midnight Sun's attacks have no effect.
I've never seen Lord Nozel so determined to fight.
It's pretty amazing.
According to our research, there's a time at which
that spatial mage exits this hideout.
And that's right now.
Outside, our spatial mage is casting a spatial jamming spell.
Now, no mage from the outside can enter.
Leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun, Licht...
I won't let you leave this place until I defeat you!
Cherry Blossom Magic:
Magic Cherry Blossom Storm of Petals ~Plus My Beautiful Illusion~.
What the heck is this spell?!
My former self... Yes, my arrogant self,
has been cast aside, along with my hair.
And because of that, my magic has become even more beautiful,
and I can use it to make you all bloom beautifully!
You're so creepy! Just shut up for a second!
Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Waterball!
Copper Magic: Red Shining Mace!
Not bad. But I'm surprised you made it into the Royal Knights, Ben Benfunk.
Our team annihilated you in an instant.
Hey, what kind of thing is that to say after I just pulled off such an awesome move?
Besides, we were defeated by that Yuno kid.
Same thing.
I'm pouring everything I have into this fight.
If I mess up, Lady Mereoleona is going to send me flying.
Lightning Magic: Thunder Fiend!
Aw... He had the chance to come to a place this fun, but he failed.
Oh, well.
Guess I'll have to go crazy for Magna, too, and then rub it in his face!
Oh...
How beautiful.
Way to go, Yuno! Small fry will never be anything more than small fry.
Talk about easy.
Let's hurry ahead.
I-It's no use...
No matter what you do...
What? The small fry has some last words?
We will soon be reborn... in our true forms!
True forms? What are you talking about?
What are these patterns on the walls?
The deeper we go, the more patterns there are.
It's unsettling.
What's the matter, Yuno?
Quiet.
I... hear something.
I can see through all those simple-minded traps!
I'll cut through any spell with my anti-magic sword!
We seriously have nothing to do!
Why not take a break?! We can fight, too, you know!
Wait, another me?! Is that you, Grey?
What the hell, you little shit? You can use magic?
You can clone yourself?
Heck no! Don't underestimate my lack of magic!
Who gave you permission to make another one of you?
Uh, it's not like I wanted another me!
So which one's the fake? They've even copied his lack of magic.
Can you tell which one's the real one?
Uh, not at all.
How useless are you?
I'm the real one!
No, I'm the real one!
You're the fake!
No, that's you!
Knock it off.
She just set them both on fire.
What are you doing?! Are you trying to kill me?!
I guess you're the real one.
Huh?
I don't remember bringing along someone
weak enough to be killed by that.
You're insane, lady!
Seriously, though...
You really messed me up.
Copy Magic: Aqua Curtain.
Copy Magic: Healing Light Particles.
Damn, you're one scary lady.
He's...
Heya, I'm Raia.
Lady, you're wasting that beauty of yours.
She's no lady. She's a warrior.
A soldier.
Who are you? You look like you might be somewhat entertaining.
H-He's the last one from the Eye of the Midnight Sun's Third Eye.
Oh?
He's named Raia the Disloyal, and he's insane! He can copy other people's magic!
Come to think of it, that information does sound familiar.
You forgot?!
Come on, now... What's with that magic?
We have to deal with a monster like him?
If you weren't royalty, I would've asked you out for a drink.
Don't hold back.
I'll let you drink as much as you like...
of the flames of hell, that is!
Jeez... Well, aren't you scary?
But I've already had my share of the flames of hell.
Copy Magic: Dark Cloaked Black Blade.
Th-That's Captain Yami's!
Hey, you! Don't copy him!
Well, I mean... My magic basically exists to copy others, so...
I guess that fool still has a ways to go,
if you're able to copy him so easily.
Okay, here we go. This spell won't be that easy to dodge!
That stance...
That's also Captain Yami's!
Copy Magic: Dark Cloaked Lightless Slash!
She punched the spell and then set it on fire?!
What the hell?
Unfortunately for you, the original idiot who uses that spell packs more of a punch.
Oh? But—
The all-incinerating spell of total destruction...
Flame Magic:
Calidos Brachium!
You can burn for my foolish little brother's sake!
The all-incinerating spell of total destruction...
Flame Magic:
Calidos Brachium!
How can she move that fast?
Plus, she had immense concentrated magical power in that arm she slammed him with.
It's simple magic, but insanely powerful.
She's more combat-oriented than any mage I've encountered before.
Holy crap! She's not fighting long-range, but getting right up in his face!
If she's fighting up close, I might be able to use her techniques later!
Heck yeah!
Copy Magic: Healing Light Particles.
He healed right back up again!
Okay, I'm gonna fight, too... huh?
If you don't want to be killed, just shut up and watch.
What?!
She's definitely gonna be more trouble than anyone else here.
But, I mean...
There's no point in getting a big head over magic you stole from us, royal.
Copy Magic: Light Swords of Conviction.
I doubt she can keep up with this speed.
Next.
Hot, hot, hot, hot!
Man, Lady Sisgoleon's super fast!
What's with these... superhuman movements?
Copy Magic: Invisible Seeker.
He's copying people left and right. Dunno whose spell that is, but...
I'm pretty sure
that one's a spell the former captain of the Purple Orcas used!
Copy Magic: Aqua Javelin!
She changed directions in midair?
Next!
And her reaction times are as fast as Vetto's.
You're not getting away!
Copy Magic: Tainted Culvert Wyrm!
How do you like the most powerful water spell I can use right now?
Copy Magic: Salamander's Breath!
Next!
She just burns right through water magic,
the attribute she's weakest against, and flame magic, too?
Ugh, you're a pain in the ass!
What's wrong? Is that all you've got?!
Invisible—
Next!
Copy Magic: Sticky Salamander!
Next!
Copy Magic: Jötunn's Ice Floe!
Calidos Brachium!
Next!
She's a beast.
Mereoleona Vermillion... She's definitely as crazy as the rumors say.
I did a little research.
The royal capital was too stuffy for her,
and she wanted to eat the meat of wild beasts,
so for more than 300 days out of the year,
she's like a beast herself, living out in the wilderness.
Delicious!
She steeped herself in the natural world's mana,
and her Mana Skin reached a higher level while she lived out there, or so they say.
That's apparently true, judging by her monster moves.
I've never even heard of this Raia guy's copy magic,
but I'm starting to understand.
His copy magic can mimic spell attributes.
That means he's a crazy bastard who can use every possible attribute.
And the strength of his spells reflects his tremendous amount of magical power.
So even if he copies some random, average mage,
his version of the spell will be even more powerful.
But... when he's activating one spell,
he can't use another spell with a different attribute at the same time.
That he lifted his invisibility to fire a spell proves that.
Even so, most people wouldn't stand a chance against a guy this overpowered.
But this time...
Lady Sisgoleon is awesome!
Can I steal any of this? Even a little bit?
This is such a pain in the ass...
Then how about this?
My sword?!
How the hell did he manage that?
I thought there was some kind of condition he had to follow to copy...
I need to touch another's grimoire to be able to copy their magic.
Earlier, when I was transformed,
I casually snuck in and touched it.
Licht...
Copy magic, eh?
Well, I'm empty inside, so I guess it's sorta perfect for me.
You're kinder than anyone, Raia.
Huh? What are you talking about, Licht?
You look at people carefully, and you like everyone.
That's probably why your magic is like that.
I like everyone?
It's a kind magic that can't be used without watching others closely.
Kind? You're wrong, Licht.
I'm a liar, a slacker, and disloyal.
Licht, a man who was genuinely kind, said that I was kind...
and you people tricked and killed him.
Look at how many of you crawled out. There are hordes of you now!
Humans... I'll kill every last one of you!
Looks like that was just a copy of its form. You couldn't copy its anti-magic.
So you just hit it without any hesitation?
If I could've copied his anti-magic, your fist would've been shattered!
Not to mention, the feel of this mana... This woman's strength...
It's not just the royalty's magic power!
It's a human strength that we're not familiar with.
Are you done with your spells?
In that case...
She's surpassed Mana Skin and begun controlling mana across the area.
Let's end this!
Mana Zone Calidos Brachium Barrage!
What's the matter, last member of the Third Eye?
Is that all you've got?!
He didn't even stand a chance.
I don't even have time to use any rapid recovery spells.
To think she'd be able to use a Mana Zone attack...
Mana Zone: the ability to harness the mana that's floating in
the surrounding area and control that territory at will.
Basically, within that territory, you can discharge more mana than you
personally have in any direction.
Where's your next attack? Don't you have anything else?!
Also, your detection abilities grow astoundingly sharp,
and your reaction speed increases.
By borrowing the power of mana, you can move freely, even through space!
That woman is insane.
We had such a hard time with the Third Eye, and she's mopping the floor with one of them...
Captain Mereoleona is so awesome!
If that's all you've got,
I'm just going to keep punching you until you disappear!
Burn to ash!
Well, shit.
Wind Magic: Tornado Fang Triple Strike!
Sorry, but people at your level can't stop me anymore.
Nice, Yuno!
He unleashed a spell from behind the enemy.
Was that the ability people call Mana Zone?
Come to think of it, when he generated a spell inside that other spell...
And that Spirit Dive power...
Mana Zone made all that possible!
Yuno... You have such overwhelming ability!
That sound...
We heard it earlier, too.
A heartbeat?
The feel of this mana... I've felt it before.
The Royal Knights, eh?
I guess I'll play with you a little longer.
