Under the blue moon blocked by the Perthro Rune, Aurora is trying to fight against the Hollow army brought by a human named Keenai. Marcus and Novalius who had already descended into battle—followed and replaced their King and Queen who were knocked down by a mysterious masked enemy. Without a doubt, the two put all their strength into the fight, followed by Mintia and Lloyd. While Mintia remained on the wall and used her archery skills, Lloyd helped Marcus and Novalius directly.
“See this!” Keenai raised both of his hands, as a form of happiness. “The Sun and the Moon have been blocking us ever since…..
“Being cornered by my power!
“Fuhahahahaha!!”

“So that guy's a mastermind called princess Zeeta, is it?” Colette was talking to herself, on the balcony of the palace and was using magic on her eyes to see long distances. “Alright ... I'd better come too!” golden yellow bracelet—his holy weapon—turned into a glove that covers up to his elbow. As he palpably wanted to jump in to catch up with his lover, Marcus, he was stopped by a collection of mana that suddenly appeared right beside him.
It was the magic circle— that moved Aria from Grandtopia. He had just used teleportation magic.
“Who are you?!” colette asked, who still did not recognize the real figure of Aria. “Ca-beautiful once this Elf..!” his inner.
“I Aria. There is no time to explain, but I already know your situation. Your name ... Colette, right?”
“Y-ya... it's true.”
“Then stay here with me. With that weapon, you can attack remotely, ‘kan?”
“Uhm.” Colette nodded.
“We will attack the humans who brought the Hollows and move them to the dimension somewhere. That guy, let me take care of him after that.”
“But ... how to..?”.
“We will take advantage of that!” Aria pointed at the Perthro Rune that covered the moon.
“Ru-Rune...?!”
Aria replied to Colette's surprise with a big smile.
......................
One by one the small Hollows lost and returned to mana after receiving various attacks from Marcus, Novalius, and Lloyd.
“It feels like they are endless, or just my feelings?!” novalius. He continues to launch attacks from his rapier.
“No, I feel that too,” reply Marcus. “Then I will use my weapon. Give me time!”
“Oh? Finally my Captain seriously unleashed his powers?” Novalius grinning. “I'm ready to hold them for three minutes!”
“What do you want to do?” ask Lloyd. “What weapon do you mean?”
Marcus smiled, then showed the weapon in question—a different book from the Book of Magic. Lloyd was soon caught up. “Can-can you have a dangerous weapon so...”.
“No, this is nothing like Nova's sword mastery and Gerda's wand.”
“Then I will help you. Give it all its power! We'll protect you!”
“Alright!”
.
.
.
.
“So so.” Colette nodded. “There are Elves who have such power.... Means, just like Marcus, I should also gather my full strength?”
“Ya,” reply Aria briefly.
“No need to tell me twice.” Colette grinned, clutching her right fist with her left hand.
“I'll help.” Aria extended her left hand and tightened her fingers. His long white hair was also raised against gravity. He's streaming his mana to Colette.
At the same time, Marcus closed his eyes while bending his knees and glued his right palm to the ground. His left hand held the book he had previously shown Lloyd.
Which strange movement, must be felt by Keenai. Similarly, the Dark Lord who was elsewhere with Arata. As he spoke to Arata in a place hidden from the many Hollows, he frowned. “Time for you to act, Arata. Your target for now is only one, an Elf named Lloyd.”
Meanwhile, Keenai immediately ordered his Hollows to focus on attacking Lloyd and Novalius with more numbers. He also decided to deploy his medium-sized Hollow. But....
‘ZHAT ZHAT ZHAT’
Three arrows pierced through Keenai's body. There was no blood coming out of the body, but it still shocked him. He searched in which direction the arrow came from and....
Mintia grinned, then she flicked her fingers.
‘DDDUAARRRR!’
Keenai's body exploded. The fragments of his body scattered in all directions. However, Mintia immediately had a serious face and fumbled to fire once more her arrow. Not long after, as expected, the fragments of Keenai's previously scattered body, fused back together and were covered by the action of his wide grin. “I CAN'T BE KILLED! I AM IMMORTAL!” arrogant screams.
As Mintia was about to fire her arrow again, she immediately undo the intention due to Marcus's loud scream. “The attack is ready, take cover!!”
A colorful magic circle appeared above the ground and distracted the Hollows. They all stopped and looked at him. The magic circle continued to grow rapidly, making Keenai himself panic. “What the hell is this magic circle?! Who can make it this much and this big?!”
“Keenai, immediately memhi—“ the voice of the Dark Lord did not arrive, because suddenly the magic circle exploded whatever was there.
‘DB... BWUUUUMMM!’
The explosion resembled a giant laser being fired upwards. It destroyed whatever was at the boundary of his magic circle. The light from the laser also turns the night bright for a moment.
The Aurora community, which had volunteered and was still inside the kingdom, did not expect the attack to come. The impact brought about by the attack was not only the strong wind that was able to blow the adults away, but also the many pieces of Hollow's body that were slowly returning to mana grains.
“This is the power of Crescent Void..?” muttered them, gazing at the Hollow body pieces that soon “holy”.
.
.
.
.
“I'm ready, Aria!” exciting Colette.
“Hold. Hold it for a minute!” reply Aria, which actually makes Colette sweat coldly and swallow her saliva.
“This attack must not fail or miss. This was an attack that fused the mana of nature, humans, and Elves.and if the clairvoyance that his Elf comrade saw was true, then the runes on the moon were the key to it all...! Focus on yourself, Colette! Prove that you can be useful to princess Zeeta!”
As the explosion from Marcus' attack subsided and the light began to dim, Aria immediately screamed out in a very loud manner. “NOW, COLETTE!”
“YA!”
The conscious Colette had been riding on horseback to hit with her right hand, directly exerting all her strength on that right hand.
‘BWOAAMM!’
The attack in the form of a glowing puff of smoke in the shape of a giant upper-cut fist, floated Colette's hand, and immediately shot rapidly towards Keenai.
While no one is looking, Keenai's body is in the process of merging again. However, the upper-cut of Colette soon derailed him, and instead lifted him towards the Perthro Rune.
‘BZAATTT!’
Keenai's body that is not intact—only the bottom half that there— will sting to cause smoke and make it relax. Having found this, the Dark Lord was quite surprised. But not only that, Aria teleported before Keenai, then brought out a purple glowing black sphere from behind her body. The black sphere absorbed the two inwards then it simply disappeared.
Slowly, the Perthro rune that injured Keenai, also disappeared. No one knew that reason, except those who had insight into the Runes....
“Si Elf the son of a bitch..” The Ruler of Darkness gripped his hand firmly.
“So? Am I needed here?” ask Arata.
“Of course!”
“I didn't expect. Don't you have something that can look a little bit into the future? Why can't you anticipate something like this? You're too confident in your strength?”
“Whispering! I know what I'm doing!”
“So. It's up to you. But, if after this you do not fulfill your promise, I will kill you.” Arata immediately jumped hull—towards where Lloyd was.
“Sialan...,” growled Dark Lord, “what is with them in this world? Why is everything so strong? Putting aside Kaunaz that I couldn't use after using Perthro—“ he suddenly recalled Luna's words some time ago.
“The child is not thinking at all of himself! He immediately wrote Rune after Rune! Though he knew it was very risky for his life!”
The Judge grinned. “Then...” He wrote the Rune Hagalaz on some Giant and Dragon who were still silent and motionless because of Keenai's disappearance from the place. “On behalf of Aurora I command you! Destroy the kingdom of man before you!”
The spies of the Giants and Dragons that had previously been blank-faced, immediately turned red and all started to rampage. They ignored what they stepped into—be it a medium-sized or small Hollow.
Marcus' previous attack, had managed to obliterate most of the small Hollows, but his army was not so reduced in terms of strength. Meanwhile, Marcus is already gasping for air with Novalius and Lloyd. His body was pale, his lips were turning blue. The three of them retreated to the top of the wall.
“I'll help recover your mana.” Novalius helps Marcus. “Lloyd? What the hell are you doing there? Don't you want to help—“
‘BWAMM!!’
Boxing and boxing are fighting each other. Each of those clashing fists—put a face that was not surprised at all. Both of them seemed to have suspected his attack could be easily detained.
“You?!” Novalius. “So Seiryuu also took part in this attack?!”
“My problem is only with him,” replied Arata, straight in Lloyd's eyes.
Lloyd grinned. “I like those eyes. Eyes that want to protect with forced conditions, is it?”
Arata frowned.
“Good. I'll serve you! Nova, Marcus, don't bother us. This is my fight and this bastard man.” After that, Lloyd hit Arata hard with his left fist— making him bounce far back. He immediately followed where his opponent was bouncing.
At the same time, Novalius found the Giant and the Dragon beginning to move. “Cih... What should we do now...? Our holy weapons alone will not be able to defeat them!” Novalius speaks for himself.
......................
Myra, Elbrecht, and Ozy, who were still monitoring the progress of the battle, began to speculate. “Rune was destroyed because the human had touched it..?” mumbling Ozy. He also holds his chin. “But who was the Elf that attacked him earlier? Somehow ... I feel like I know where he is..”.
“You know something, Ozy?” ask Elbrecht.
“Yes, this is just my guess, but..”.
“It's okay even if it's just a guess. Just say.”
“Rune it was Rune that was in—“ when Ozy wanted to explain, he saw a lot of Giant and Dragon in-Rune Hagalaz. “Cih! My theory was proven wrong! Elbrecht, Myra, it's time for you to act!”
“Let me alone!” Myra shouted, then extended both of her hands towards the runes it was in.
As if it broke, the Uruz Rune of the Giants was thwarted. Just then, they focused Myra as the target.
“Ozy! In this case, those Humans can't survive! Take them away from here!”
“But where? Alicia already..”.
“Hutan Elf!” the screams of an Elf finally arrived with teleportation magic.
“Serina?!” Ozy surprised. “Are you not together..”.
“No time to explain, just take them there. You'll be more free there, too. We will protect this kingdom!”
“Are you serious?! Here there are Dragons and Giants, how can I leave you here?!”
“Trust me. There's someone you should meet in the village. She's named Titania.”
“Ti-Titania..?” Ozy.
Serina thought Ozy's reaction was quite strange.
“Where did you find it?!”
“The village I and Gerda saved. Gerda is still there.”
“Good.
“Myra, Elbrecht, I leave the ones here to you!”
“Ya, just go!” reply Myra smiled.
Later, Ozy writes Rune Raidho under the feet of the entire Aurora society. Sensing that someone wanted to escape, the Giants did not let it go. They replied to the Rune with Rune Thurisaz and Othala. They performed the Bind Rune simultaneously.
“Cih!” Myra didn't let it all go. He once again interrupted their runes with his strength. But....
“Stupid! That one don't get destroyed, you're even—“ Elbrecht told him late.
When one of the three Bind Rune was destroyed by Myra, one of them instead had her Othala Rune activated. “Sial!” Elbrecht, with his lightning speed, changed form into a Dragon and protected all the Humans beneath him.
‘DHAAAMM!’
“Tu-Mr Elbrecht..!” the Humans had no idea the Dragon was protecting them.
“Come with Ozy! You will be a burden to us! All of Alicia's plans have gone off the mark!”
“Ba-well, forgive us, Mr Elbrecht!”
Shortly after, Rune Raidho moved the Humans there with the blink of an eye. Elbrecht also returned to his human form. “Sial...” His back was burned pretty badly.
“Let me heal you, Lord Dragon!” exciting Serina.
“Ya, please.”
“Ma-forgive me, Ka—“
“There is no time to apologize! Just focus on what is in front of you!”
“Ba-good!” Myra focused on the Giant Hollows and Dragons.

“So so ... Arthur and the others were transferred.... Phew..” On the other side of the wall, Hellenia also attacked the Hollows. He is one-twice experienced against Hollows, stay on the wall—do not let him touch the “poison” they brought.
“What do you mean?” arthur's voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
“A-Arthur.. what is..?”
“I can't let my fiancee alone face danger. Do you seriously think I'll leave you?”
Red hue tried to hide Hellenia. “Bo-stupid...”
“In addition.. I also feel there is something strange about all this. My gut feeling is bad too.” Arthur looked at the Hollows.
“About what?”
“Ghost of all these attacks.”
“E-eh..?”
“Try thinking again. Remember what Mrs Scarlet taught us in class first.”
Hellenia was silent for a moment.
“Ja-don-don't...?!
“But ... it is impossible..!”.
“No. That's just possible.” Ashley came to them.
“Nyo-Mrs Ashley!” both of them did not expect his arrival.
“Unfortunately I can only expel those who are close to the wall, but that is my limit now. But, all my efforts will stop for a moment because of the Crescent Void and the Dragons who helped us.
“I know this is not the time to talk like this, but I seem to think about what you think.
“It's about Zeeta, isn't it?”
Arthur and Hellenia nodded.
“From everything that happened at the same time.it is possible that the Feline forecast is running right now. Something happened to him in the Land of Death, and made him so do this all.”
“Ta-but...” Arthur felt it was too soon to be decided.
“Hei!” a voice sounded from behind Ashley. Arthur and Hellenia whose position could clearly see the identity of the voice, were soon wide-eyed. They immediately fight.
“Basic Peri bastards. At a time like this, you still want to break us?”
Ashley who was right in front of Arthur and Hellenia smiled wryly. It changes its shape back into its actual form—Morgan. “Well, my instincts can't be restrained.”
“What do you want, Fairy?!” ask Arthur. “Eh...? Peri..?” he wondered why he could see the Elves.
“It's true. Our agreement with the Humans is over. Feline is no longer the Fairy Queen.”
“What do you mean?” ask Hellenia.
“You'll see it soon.
While the battle was still going on, suddenly the sky split. Everything stops the activity. The cleavage in the sky, showing dead forests and chapped dry land. A silver-haired and moon-clad person came out from there.
“ZEETA!
“I know you witnessed this!
“You must have forgotten me, but I never forgot what you did to my father and mother!
“Receive this as my vengeance!”
‘TEK!’
The silver-haired woman—Belle—tick her left fingers.
‘BLRSHHT...!’
All the Hollows that were there, with just one flick, were smashed apart.
“You want to create Ragnarok for us? Just please. We will not be afraid.” After saying so, Belle went back inside and the hemisphere in the sky simply vanished.
“A-a...” Everyone who was there was unable to catch what had just happened.
“What just happened..?”
.
.
.
.
Ruler of Darkness—whose name is called—burst where his high purplish black—makes him so that it can be known where he is hiding.
“Hei view!” novalius. “The person mentioned the name of princess Zeeta, ‘kan...? So that means..?”
“He also mentioned about Ragnarok..,” replied Marcus.
“What happened exactly...? Can someone explain it to me..?”
......................
[In the meantime, in Grandtopia.].
“HAH...?! What do you mean let Seiryuu get his Soul Stone?!” screams Reina, who was telepathizing with someone. “Are you crazy, Zeeta?! After all, how did you contact me from the Land of Death?!
“A-what do you mean it doesn't matter?!
“....
“But ... It's about the safety of the world! Don't just decide unilaterally like this!”
Reina took off everything she needed to be telepathic with all the targets Hugo had ordered her to. Gloomily, he recalled Zeeta's words before he disconnected his telepathy. “This world is cruel, but I will definitely protect you who I love.... Whatever I sacrifice, I will protect you!
“All to keep my promise to you guys..”.
“What do you mean... Zee...? Why is your tone like that..?”
