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.
The Wizard King, Julius Novachrono, protected the kingdom's citizens
from an attack by the Eye of the Midnight Sun's leader, Licht.
But as a result, he was gravely injured.
What the hell's going on here...
Vangeance?!
Good day to you, Yami Sukehiro.
I am Licht.
Yami attacked Licht, but...
Dark Magic...
Dark Cloaked...
Dimension Slash!
He got away.
And Julius...
I leave the rest to you...
You got it.
This is goodbye for all of you.
You will serve as the foundation of the resurrection.
Licht's true intentions were about to come to light!
Reincarnation
A four-leaf grimoire!
Licht of sword magic was chosen by a four-leaf grimoire!
What's a four-leaf grimoire, Mommy?
It's a grimoire with good fortune in it.
Only those it chooses can wield it!
Licht
Licht, with the four-leaf grimoire...
He's so cool!
Licht!
You again?
You're so annoying, coming by every day. Go away.
Shoo, shoo.
Patry
I'm not here to see you.
What did you just say, shrimp?
Oh, come on. He's not annoying, Raia.
I'm glad you came to see me.
Oh, I see.
So what do you think, Licht?
Hm?
About the rumors that the humans might attack us.
I believe they're just rumors.
But I wouldn't say it's completely impossible.
They're...
Humans are a wicked-hearted race that kills animals for sport.
Their magical powers are weak,
but their increased numbers have made them overconfident.
Even though we elves have saved them
from countless natural disasters in the past...
I'm sure they're just scared.
Scared?
They're just like us.
We're much alike, but they don't know that, so they fear us.
But we should be able to understand each other...
because we both receive grimoires.
That's...
It's a tornado caused by natural mana running wild.
It's pretty big.
It'll go away on its own if we ignore it.
Licht!
Someone else appeared behind the tornado?
That's...
Sword Magic:
Origin Flash!
Light Magic:
Lamp of Avior!
Licht!
He managed to destroy a tornado that big! He really is amazing.
But...
Who's that guy who just used light magic that seemed
just as powerful as Licht's magic?
Are you all right?
Y-Yes.
Thank you so much.
Tetia! Why did you leave the castle without permission?
Brother...
Your magical attribute is wind.
How did you, of all people, get caught up in a mana tornado?
Thank you for saving my little sister.
It's nothing...
He has a four-leaf grimoire, just like Licht.
A human...
Licht sure has been hanging around those two a lot lately.
He sure has. I guess he's happy to have some human friends.
I mean, those two are really decent people,
and they seem to have the same thoughts as Licht.
The same thoughts?
They were wondering if elves and humans could get along, too.
I see.
Why must Licht keep hanging around those humans?
But Licht is never wrong.
And that human was also
selected by one of the four-leaf grimoires, just like Licht.
We can come to understand each other.
You elves have truly amazing mana.
By combining that with the magic-item technology that we humans created,
we can make this land safer and more prosperous.
Let us live together, hand in hand.
You're with child?
With you two as its parents, I'm sure it'll be a wonderful child!
Congrats, Tetia... and Licht, too, I guess.
Well, thanks, I guess.
What? Something bothering you?
Well...
I guess you are still a kid.
Be quiet! Stop treating me like a child!
Yeah, yeah... Ooh, aren't you scary?
Oh, there they are.
Hey there, Raia.
Are you too lazy to even wake up nowadays?
You're the worst.
Oh, shut up.
Jeez, Patry. Hogging the spot next to Licht again?
After tomorrow's ceremony, he's going to belong to someone else,
so you should probably cut the cord now.
Shut up. I can do what I want.
What, you little brat?!
It's fine. Even if I marry Licht, he still belongs to everyone.
The human princess sure is nice.
That kindness is going to bring you trouble someday.
And pretty soon, there won't be any room for you anymore.
Stop picking on him. Patry knows that.
So, Licht, how does it feel, knowing you're going to be a father in a few months?
I can feel the mana blessing us.
I'm very happy our child will come into this world welcomed by everyone.
This child is our future.
It'll bridge the gap between elves and humans.
Congratulations!
I wish you both years of happiness!
May the mana bless you!
Thank you so much.
Please take care of my little sister for me.
Yes. I will protect her, no matter what.
Thank you for being here today, everyone.
Congratulations!
Tomorrow's the day you get your grimoire.
Licht, you remembered!
Of course. How could I forget?
I'm excited to see which grimoire chooses you.
Yes!
Aw... I hope someday I'll also...
I'm sure you'll meet someone lovely soon, Fana.
I sure hope so.
I wish you a lifetime of happiness.
Thank you.
If this guy ever cheats on you, let me know right away.
I'll make sure to kick his ass.
Hey, come on now, Raia...
I'm just kidding.
Licht seems so happy.
I mean, Licht always seemed happy.
I'm a bit jealous she's the one who made him happier, but...
It's because of those two humans.
We can come to understand each other.
I wonder if we can come to understand humans someday, just like he said.
Licht seems to believe that, too.
I guess it's possible... for elves and humans to join hands someday.
Wh-What's going on?!
The humans are attacking!
This way! Hurry!
I can't use any magic!
Our magic has been sealed!
Get down!
Run... quickly...
You loathsome humans...
This is light magic. That means...
...dare you...
How dare you?!
Mommy!
Run!
Hey, wake up! Open your eyes!
This can't be happening!
This has to be a dream!
Hey, answer me!
It hurts! It burns!
How dare you, how dare you, how dare you, how dare you, how dare you?!
They put up a barrier! We can't go—
How dare you... How dare you...
It's all over!
How dare you?! How dare you?! How dare you?! How dare you?!
I'll never...
Licht...
Lich...
...t...
Where... am I?
What in the world is going on?!
Didn't I die?
These aren't... my hands.
Huh?! Licht?
What's going on? I somehow look like Licht!
Did my soul somehow end up in Licht?
No... The feeling of this mana...
This body... It's human!
A human that looks like Licht?
That's right... I'm sure that I died.
The thing that Licht activated when our magic was sealed...
It must've been forbidden magic!
Meaning... a reincarnation spell.
This is...
I can tell... I can feel them.
Raia's soul...
The souls of all the elves from the village!
Licht must have activated a reincarnation spell in those last moments!
In order to save us elves!
But not everyone's been fully reborn.
It's just me.
Right... my grimoire.
This grimoire chose the soul that inhabits this body, so I can't use it.
I don't know if I was chosen or if this is sheer coincidence.
But... I was the only one who was reborn.
And in Licht's form!
I'm the only one who can save them all!
I'm the only one who can!
I have...
been chosen.
I will become Licht.
No matter what I have to do...
I will bring back all the elves.
And this time...
The humans betrayed someone precious to me. They betrayed all of us!
This time...
This time, we'll destroy the humans!
Forbidden Magic: Evil Eye.
I've added magic from the other world to your soul and assisted
your reincarnation in a human with a similar wavelength.
Gathering the magical power I needed to use this spell was no small task.
I'd appreciate it if you didn't cause me any trouble, Raia.
You're Pat—
However, bringing you back is Licht's—no, my mission.
Isn't that right, Raia?
It sure is, Licht.
You guys...
Raia...
So you're finally awake. You overslept.
All things considered, I wish I could've slept a little longer.
I was also able to resurrect these two.
Vetto... You're a kind soul who can talk to the animals.
And yet, even now, you're being persecuted.
Come live with us once more.
You're not the one who should be in despair.
It's the humans.
Remember your true self.
How unfortunate, my old friend.
Nothing has changed.
Humans still continue to harm other humans.
I shall destroy you all, as you seem to desire.
But I need your body.
I need you to live.
Fana, not only do you look alike, but you both share the same name.
This cannot be a coincidence.
You shouldn't have to meet the same sad ending in this lifetime, too.
Now... awaken.
The only ones I can resurrect right now are these three.
For a complete rebirth... In order to resurrect everyone else,
I will require a phenomenal amount of power and sacrifices.
We'll gather the magic stones that were once in our village,
which have now been scattered.
By using the humans, of course.
Isn't that a wonderful idea?
Yeah.
Let's do this, Licht.
We will get revenge against those loathsome humans.
I will give them endless despair!
Humans, you shall serve as the foundation of the resurrection.
Foundation of the resurrection? What the hell are you talking about?!
We're about to awaken to an insane amount of magical power now!
Don't tell me you actually tricked us?!
What the...
Th-This is...
When I gave you your new names and welcomed you as comrades, I marked you...
as sacrifices for this forbidden spell.
Forbidden spell?!
You can't be serious!
You just randomly gave me that name! I've never used it!
My name is Rades Spirito!
Master... Licht...
Were we not...
your precious comrades?!
Yes, you truly were precious.
Then why...
Because...
You are sacrifices that will help bring back my true comrades.
You bastard!
Yuno?

Let me dissect you guys while you're still alive sometime, okay?
Oh, of course, there won't be any anesthesia.
Suddenly, Marx and Owen attack Yami.
Despite all the confusion, Yami incapacitates them.
