THE SHADOW RAIMENT
And another!
D-Did it work?
Yeah.
Dai!
I'm okay.
I just feel a little sluggish.
I knew using Doruora twice in a row would take its toll.
But I was able to do it because you understood what I was thinking.
Thank you.
I can't believe you planned to use Doruora twice in a row.
When I realized that Vearn used his Staff of Edacity to survive my Doruora,
I figured that he wouldn't be able to withstand it twice in a row.
I thought it might be possible if you healed my Magic Power.
I see.
It wouldn't work if he had dodged it, but if he was using his staff to block it,
if you fired a second one while the energy of the first one remained,
that would be two Doruora's worth.
There's no way... he survived that.
It was all so quick the reality hasn't sunk in yet.
There was always only one Dragon Knight.
To hit something with Doruora twice in a row...
It's a destructive force that should normally be impossible.
It's because it's Vearn.
Huh?
Nobody but Vearn would be able to block a Doruora spell.
Because Vearn is too strong...
His strength is the reason he ended up being hit by an attack that powerful.
I guess being too strong isn't all it seems to be.
Come on! Stand proud, Hero! You've won!
You've defeated the Dark King!
That was pretty big. It was the biggest shock I've felt today.
Either it was caused by Dai... or...
We should hurry!
Hey! What about him?
Just leave him.
We know he can't resist. There's no need to kill him.
Right, Hyunckel?
We don't need to finish him off, do we?
You're too forgiving, Maam! How many times have we fought this beast?!
We should finish him here or we'll regret it!
You know I'm right, don't you?!
But if Dai loses to Vearn it'll be meaningless!
Even if we kill Mystvearn...
You're infighting?
Your teamwork sure sucks!
The Royal Guard was much...
He shouldn't be able to move a muscle!
He's immortal?!
See?! Do you still want to show him mercy now?!
Hey, Hym!
You don't need to tell me! I'm finishing him off now!
King Vearn...
forgive me.
Please forgive me.
Stop your useless babbling!
Forgive me, King Vearn.
For the first time...
without your permission...
I have revealed this face.
Th-That's...
Mystvearn's face!
A human? No. A Darkling.
The true face that even Lon Beruk feared is that of this slender young man?
This presence... I recognize it.
All this force... from just a push?!
How terrifying.
I have done something truly terrifying.
Not even I can escape the severe punishment from King Vearn this time.
Even execution may be unavoidable.
Showing this face is that great of a crime!
And to do it without King Vearn's permission...!
Bastard! Are you trying to provoke me?!
What's so great about that pompous face!
Stop! Hym!
What overwhelming malice!
You're not as thick as I thought.
You've sensed my power.
What?! I'm... I'm being overwhelmed by his pressure?
By... By this normal-looking... ordinary guy?!
His Dark Aura was much stronger when he had his mask on!
Very good. Be afraid.
I'm afraid, too.
S-Screw you!
Babble all you want after you eat this!
Stop! Don't do it, Hym!
Aura Knuckle!
What?!
Are you kidding me?!
Hym's Orichalcum arm!
He twisted it off! Forcefully! And so casually!
And not by using his opponent's strength against them like I would!
He tore it off with brute strength!
Hey! My arm!
Hmm. Very impressive, Larhart.
A normal hit would have caused that arm to break or dent.
These shattered fragments of Orichalcum are proof of your strength.
However...
You and that pawn...
may be warriors of the highest level on this Surface World.
But you cannot hope to match me in this form.
This is the face of the strongest man in the Underworld.
What?!
W-What about Vearn?! Isn't Vearn supposed to be greater than you?!
King Vearn is a great man.
His wisdom and Magic Power are indeed unparalleled.
But in terms of a powerful body, I am currently above him.
That's right.
I am stronger than King Vearn.
I am the strongest of the Dark Army.
DARK AURA PUPPETRY HAND
AURA KNUCKLE
There! I cast Fullheal on you.
Thanks!
I'm worried about the others. Let's hurry back to the White Garden.
Huh? Huh?
W-What's wrong, Dai?!
It's just, my body feels a little weak.
I should be healed more than I was before.
You're not fully healed?! With a Fullheal spell?!
I guess so.
But I'm better than when I cast Doruora.
What are you talking about?!
Then you've only recovered what you would naturally!
To not fully recover your stamina from a Fullheal spell is impossible!
Wait. It could be possible.
Huh?
Hyunckel mentioned it.
Damage from Dark Aura can't be healed with Heal-type magic.
It could be possible that the Draconic Aura is similar.
If the rebound from that double Doruora has left residual damage to you
that is unaffected by Heal-type magic...
What do we do about it?
Well...
We've already defeated Vearn.
We either let it heal naturally, or wait until Heal-type magic works.
All we can do is give it time.
How long do you think it'll take?
There's no need to rush.
Mystvearn may be strong, but he can't be stronger than Vearn.
If Larhart's working with the others, they'll be fine.
Getting your power back fully comes first.
We can think about Popp, Master Avan and the others after that.
If you go to help in that state you'll only drag them down.
You're always so blunt, Leona.
But I guess that's what makes you reliable.
Hey! What kind of compliment is that?!
Hmph!
Why is it?
I still feel a trembling in my heart.
I still have...
this terrible feeling... that something bad is going to happen.
What?!
You're stronger than Vearn?!
Don't be ridiculous!
What? Are you saying you're the real big boss of the Dark Army?!
That you're above Vearn?!
Say something!
With your meager intellect,
you wouldn't understand even if I explained my relationship with King Vearn.
But I'll answer your first question.
You are correct.
Then... you're really...
He could... actually be stronger.
That power is beyond human comprehension!
It could be greater than Vearn's!
Be grateful as you die.
You could live for centuries
and never have the chance to be killed by one like me.
This gift of death is far beyond what you deserve.
Nothing will work!
But we won't go down so easily!
It may seem that we're powerless against him,
but if we can slow him down...
We still have our last option!
Medroa!
I feel an abnormal amount of expectation on my shoulders!
Talk about pressure!
If I use it head on, he might reflect it.
And he ain't slow either!
I need to cast it at the perfect time!
Hey!
Heal me so I can fight again.
I'll get him in a hold somehow.
When I do, just cast that big spell of yours.
-I couldn't do... -You idiot!
There's no time to hesitate!
Can't you see?! He'll kill every one of us!
You still seem ready to fight.
Your bravery is commendable.
Even against such overwhelming power none of you have lost hope.
You did manage to fight King Vearn once after all.
Thanks!
Now for your finishing move.
Don't forget what I told you.
You may be a metallic life form, but I can't sacrifice you!
Hesitate like that and you'll end up dead with that girl you love.
If my life is all it costs, consider it a bargain.
Why does a random enemy like you know about that?!
Buddy, talk about obvious.
Stop squabbling and get ready!
We're all counting on you!
Everyone...
There you have it.
I don't know what they're planning,
but I guess I'll join in on that gamble.
Here goes! It's round two!
Everyone but us, keep your distance!
Stick to ranged attacks!
Whoa! Larhart and Hym's simultaneous attacks...
...aren't hitting!
It's not that they aren't hitting!
Just like before, some attacks are hitting home!
And yet!
Dammit! In that case!
How about this!
That was quick.
Dammit! I can't even hold him in place!
My Beast King Indomitable Blast isn't even slowing him down!
Crocodine!
-Are you okay? -Yeah.
I never expected to be saved by you.
If only I could move freely!
He's too strong!
I hate to disappoint everyone,
but there's no time to ready a Medroa spell!
What a clean face.
Huh?!
What are you talking about at a time like this?!
You've always had a thing for handsome guys, haven't you?!
That's not what I meant!
He's been hit numerous times even when he had his mask on.
I even hit him in the face with my Refractor Fist.
And yet he doesn't have a scratch!
You're right.
It's too clean!
Maam.
Grand Master!
No, right now I'm Mr. Beast.
Huh?
Is this guy...
More importantly, is that true?
You hit him in the face with your Refractor Fist.
Yes.
I see. I understand.
I believe I've uncovered the secret of his immortality.
Immortal and indestructible are two different things.
Mystvearn may be powerful and seemingly immune to damage,
but the Refractor Fist overcharges biological functions.
Normally, he should retain some sort of mark.
There's only one explanation.
His body isn't alive. It has no biological functions.
What?!
Popp, I will give you a chance to cast Medroa.
-Wait! That's crazy! -Don't worry.
But, as you know, I suffer from Glossy Ankleitis.
I can't fight for long, so make good use of that chance.
Wasn't Brokeena's illness something else?
Forget about that! I don't have time to think about that!
What's this?
Now a clown is going to buy time?
The secret of your immortality...
must be...
the Secret Spell of Frozen Time.
You know of the Secret Spell?
You!
Who are you?!
Mr. Beast!

Brokeena realizes the secret behind the unmasked Mystvearn.
As he confuses Mystvearn with his flexible movements,
Popp looks for a window to cast Medroa.
What is Mystvearn's secret that Brokeena explains?
And can Popp achieve victory with his Medroa Spell?
