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 Royal Capital was thrown into chaos by the attack of
the Magic Knights who had reincarnated into elves.
Leopold and the other Crimson Lion Kings faced a life-or-death situation
after being attacked by their vice captain, Randall.
And then...
None shall...
stand in my way.
Even if I lose an arm, or my flesh is burned by flames...
As long as there are people waiting for me,
I shall go to them, for I am Fuegoleon Vermillion,
the Captain of the Crimson Lion Kings!
You fought well, Leo.
Brother!
As the Captain of the Crimson Lion Kings,
and as your older brother,
I will never lose... again!
Fuegoleon had finally awakened, and with the fire spirit, Salamander, at his side!
And around the same time, back at the Eye of the Midnight Sun's hideout...
You can head home first,
you fools.
Captain Mereo—
Mereoleona Vermillion tried to fight Raia and the others herself.
The Desperate Path Toward Survival
What?
You're going to stay behind and try to stall all of us so those two can escape?
Well, aren't you nice to your friends, Miss Royalty?
You seem to have the wrong idea.
Those kiddos would've just been in my way.
Stall you? Don't make me laugh.
I intend to kill all of you!
Kill all of us?
You're the one making me laugh.
There's no way someone like you can't see what you're up against right now.
Sorry, but we're going to go after that anti-magic kid really soon,
because that grimoire and those swords belong to the real Licht.
I don't really care about this "real Licht" or whatever,
but you can shut up now.
Mana Zone: Calidos Brachium...
Barrage!
If you're going to go after that fool, do it after you defeat me.
Five against one...
You still need more of a handicap?
There's no way even Captain Mereoleona can fight all of them alone!
We have to go back and help her!
You dumbass. We're getting outta here.
Huh?! What the hell are you talking about, you jerk?!
At this rate, Captain Mereoleona—
It's not like we have a strategy, so we'll just get killed if we go back.
You might not have felt
how powerful they were, since you don't have any magic.
Believe me, I don't want a damn royal saving my ass.
But this is the best way for at least some of us to survive.
Don't you dare go wasting
the captain's resolve like that, you little shit.
Wing Magic: Angel Wing Gift!
You think you can defeat all of us?
Humans sure have gotten cocky while we were asleep.
I thought I told all of you to shut up.
Then let's just get this over with.
Unlike you selfish humans, we elves are connected by strong bonds.
Your attacks won't even touch us.
Wing Magic: Angel Flapping!
Calidos Brachium!
Tch. That's too many for me.
Picture Magic: Subterranean Giant's Iron Arm.
I think you might have a hard time burning something this big. Don't you agree?
Here you go!
Tch...
It managed to graze me. My senses are shot.
My attacks seem to be losing their edge, too.
What's...
Snow Magic: Phantom Snow Box Garden.
I'm forcibly putting the senses of everyone in this space to sleep.
Of course, I mean everyone other than us elves.
You crafty little brat.
You're rather skilled at using mana, even though you're human.
But it's only a matter of time before you won't be able to move.
You've got some nerve to be attacking me,
Ruben!
My name is Rossa, not Ruben!
Also...
I don't know anyone as violent as you!
Is that so?
Then I guess I don't need to hold back!
Sandstone Magic: Variable Hardness Prison!
Take your last breath in there.
The end.
Looks like it's happily ever after.
Don't tell me...
Since you were a member of the Crimson Lion Kings,
I'll do you a favor
and kill you with my own flames!
What is this feeling? It's like my body knows this woman and is frightened of her...
I'll never let you kill my friends ever again!
Well, see ya, Miss Royalty.
Raia!
What's wrong?
You're going to kill all the humans, aren't you?
But I'm still alive.
Is this woman actually human?
Hurry up and... try to kill me!
You sure are a pain in the ass!
I'm...
still...
alive.
Yeah, I'm at a loss for words.
To think you can still stand back up after all those attacks...
I'll stand back up as many times as it takes...
Until I've killed all of you!
But I think it's about time we end this.
Yeah...
You'll all be finished... after I use my most powerful spell.
Mana Zone...
Full Release!
She still had this much magic?!
What is this stinging feeling?
My snow magic is being erased.
Flame Magic...
Calidos Brachium Purgatory!
Owie, that hurt!
I used up quite a bit of mana on defense.
That human is insane.
My word, that human sure did a number on us.
She was an unbelievable woman to the very end.
She passed out on her feet. She really didn't want to go down, huh?
Hey...
Whoa, she's alive!
I can't believe it! Is she really human?
Hurry up... and come at me.
She can't even move after using up all her magic, and yet...
Damn, you're scary.
We need to kill her right here and now.
I'm all for that.
Let's send her out with a bang.
Copy Light Magic...
Snow Magic...
Wing Magic...
Picture Magic...
Sandstone Magic...
Captain Mereoleona!
Sheesh...
You fools...
You really are idiots.
You just wasted all the time this lady bought you.
Compound Magic: Elemental Quintet!
You can all die together!
But this is the best way for at least some of us to survive.
Don't you dare go wasting
the captain's resolve like that, you little shit.
Who gave her permission to sacrifice herself like that?!
And I've just decided that all three of us are going to survive this together!
Give it a rest, you little shit.
Even in your black anti-magic form, you can't shake all five of those monsters.
Yeah, that's right! Besides, that form is drawn to huge magic,
so it's not great at running away!
Well, if you know all that, don't brag about it!
What the hell are you gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
Oh, I know! Your magic!
The thing where you double the magic and bounce it back!
Wha?
All five of them will launch spells at the same time.
That's when we'll bounce their spells back at them!
All five of them attack at once?
Like anything that convenient will ever happen, you moron.
Well, look at that. It actually happened.
This is all thanks to the captain managing to weaken them.
He's ignoring the force of those spells?
I'll use my counter trap to double it...
But just doubling it won't be enough to throw them off!
Then I'll fling it back!
He shot it at the brat?
Then, after we double it, we'll double it again!
We'll quadruple it!
Damn it... How dare you find us a chance like this?
I'm not taking responsibility for the consequences!
Shit! I knew I threw the circle together too fast, and now it's falling apart.
I won't be able to—
Heads... up!
Okay, let's get the heck outta here!
We made it out!
See? I told you we could save her if we worked together!
We just got lucky because we managed to get one coincidence after another.
Deflate that giant head of yours, you moron.
You're definitely going to get hurt someday.
And when that happens, I hope you'll help me if you can!
Man, my head hurts.
Hang on, now...
I'm not letting you get away.
I'm gonna have you come with me to see Licht.
You're going to return that grimoire and those swords to Licht.
I won't make it in time.
Zora!
Take care of Captain Mereoleona!
Hey!
I promise I'll make it back alive!
So head on back first!
You can't be serious!
What did you just say earlier?
Weren't the three of us gonna survive this together?
I'll make sure you regret it if you don't make it back, you hear me?!
You little shit!
What's wrong, everyone?
Klaus? Hamon?
Yuno?
Are you referring to us?
Klaus?
Do not speak to us.
You are not one of us.
What are you—
She seems to be royalty.
Indeed, she does.
We will never forgive you humans!
I need to concentrate on defense for now.
Plant Recovery Magic: Princess Healing Flower Robe!
It's no use.
You don't have any time to rest, royal.
You accursed royal...
That's a fitting look for you.
They're not their usual selves.
Both their magic and their personalities are totally different.
Even Yuno!
It appears he doesn't have a clear sense of self yet.
Indeed. I'm sure he'll figure that out as some time passes.
Stop squirming! Ugh, you're such a pain!
Asta?
Mimosa?!
Asta...
You okay?! Who the heck did this to you?
Hang on! I'll get you down!
Hold it.
I will not allow you to free that descendant of criminals.
Klaus and... the chubby guy from the Golden Dawn?
You can't be serious... Not you guys, too!
You mean... the others, too?
No!
Stop it! I don't want to fight my friends!
Wake up!
We're—
Yu...no?
H-Hey... Don't tell me...
Yuno's an enemy, too?
Yuno!
Petit Clover
Petit Clover!
The Mereoleona Challenge
The Mereoleona Challenge!
Try saying "Mereoleona" ten times!
Mereoleona, Mereoleona, Mereoleona, Mereoleona, Mereoleona, Mera—
You fool!
That's what you get for failing!
Next!
Mereoleona, Mereoleona, Mereoleona, Mero—
Pathetic!
Show us how it's done, Captain Mereoleona!
Listen carefully, you foolish kiddos.
Mana Zone: Full Release!
Gulp...
Meo—
Captain!
Impossible!
Hey, Yuno! Don't tell me you've turned into an enemy, too!
Remember our promise!

Not giving up is my magic!
