03x13 - Mastermind

[bunniefuu]

It appeared as if humanity will soon
be destroyed by the demons.

But there was a mage who fought alone
and saved everyone.

He was called the Magic Emperor
and became a legend.

Light Creation Magic,
Light Sword of Judgment!

Imitation Light Magic,
Light Sword of Judgment!

Mana Zone, Spirit's Hushed Dance.

Again!

I don't know
if it's a magic stone or whatever,

but it's mine.

Give it back!

Well done, Ronne.

Now, all our hard work has paid off.

Yes.

I can tell when someone is lying.

Why did you tell me a lie, Ronne?

Rhya?

Who are you?

Could he be the reincarnation of…

Because he betrayed us,

the elves were massacred by the humans.

But I can see through lies.

I knew that

he didn't betray us at all.

But I didn't tell everyone that.

Because I don't want them to lose

any of their hatred for humans.

I want to see him again

no matter how many lies I have to tell.

That is my treachery.

And I guess I get a huge hole
in my belly for that.

But

who is this guy who just made
this hole in my belly?

He is the biggest liar of all.

How long had he blended in with us

acting like Ronne?

Rhya!

Rhya!

Ronne, what's going on?

The three leaves of a clover
hold integrity, hope, and love.

The fourth leaf represents good luck.

In the fifth leaf…

dwells a devil.

This reminds me of the day

I took advantage of the bond between
the mages chosen by Clover Grimoire

and created Despair Grimoire.

I can finally obtain

what should have been mine today.

This magical power
doesn't belong to an elf.

Shadow Palace, a realm between the realm
of the living and the realm of the dead,

draws out the power of the magic stone
which I have longed for

from the underworld.

Welcome back.

I'm back.

Ronne!

What is this dark and cold magic?

Don't tell me this guy is…

A devil?

What is this creature?

Although it is incomplete,

I haven't been
in my own body for centuries.

What a wonderful feeling.

Elf chosen by Clover Grimoire,

I commend you.

I praise you from the bottom of my heart

for all you have done up to this point,

as well as the results you have shown me.

Therefore,

I shall have you taste
the depths of despair

like he did back then.

What is he talking about?

What does that mean?

That day,

the one who tricked the humans

into massacring the elves

was me.

The humans were easy to manipulate
as they wanted power.

We can understand each other.

And then, all of you managed

to make me amusingly fool you.

The revenge went according to plan.

All of you are so stupid.

How dare you!

Return!

Hey!

That body belongs to Captain Vangeance.

I won't let you die just like that.

I'd prefer to deal
with you later actually.

You can't be serious.
You just showed up out of nowhere.

Though I'm very aware
that you are just trash.

If all I have to do is to destroy you
to end all of this,

so be it!

Mana Zone, Spirit Storm.

Vacuum Wall.

What?

Everything is useless
against my Word Soul Magic.

Word Soul Magic?

His magic is insane!

Now that I'm stronger, I can tell

I can't b*at this guy.

At least, not when I'm alone!

Yuno!

Asta, you are too late.

What

is going on here?

And what is that strange creature?

What the hell is

that creepy black thing?

But it somehow feels familiar.

It looks like some uninvited guests
have arrived.

Well, I'll leave them alone for now.

More importantly…

Come here.

Word Soul Magic.

Whatever he says becomes a reality.

Is that how he recreated
Ronne's Switching Magic too?

Don't toy with me!

Light Creation Magic, Bright Judgement--

Vanish.

Iron Spears.

Patolli.

Asta!

That creepy black thing
is behind all of this!

I thought so.

Storm of Blades.

There are real weapons mixed in?

I can't erase them with Anti Magic!

Damn it, it's taking all I have
just to evade them.

Vacuum Wall.

Be crushed.

Be smashed.

Break into pieces.

Be riddled with holes.

Asta! Yuno!

I won't allow anyone to get in my way.

Are you awake?

Thanks to you,

the time that had stopped for me

will finally begin moving again.

Hero, I commend you.

They got in my way years ago.

My reincarnation failed
even though I was close.

What are you talking about?

You were the next person
I set my sights on.

A new sacrifice

that was loved by mana, young,

and easily swayed.

A tragedy and a sense of duty

were enough reasons for you

to dabble in Forbidden Magic

which allowed the elves' souls

to be reincarnated in human bodies.

What are you talking about?

The one…

The one who reincarnated us is Mr. Licht.

He gave us our last hope

even if it meant dabbling
in Forbidden Magic.

You are wrong.

I was the one who reincarnated you.

Your leader doesn't want
to exterminate humans,

reincarnate the elves or take revenge.

They are all fake.

You walked down the path
I prepared for you

and lead the other fools nicely.

You truly did a splendid job.

-In the end, it led you to a future
-You're lying.

that Licht didn't want

-and allowing my soul
-You're lying.

-to return to my body.
-You're lying.

You're lying.

I…

I was chosen by the Clover Grimoire

just like Mr. Licht.

Yes, you were chosen

as my brilliant, foolish pawn.

Good job.

What is that black thing?

Are you telling me that Licht
was being used by that black thing

just like how Licht used us?

Patolli,

everything that we have done…

This is just too amusing.

Elves and humans'

dreams and ambitions

are the best playthings.

Don't give me that crap.

You just showed up out of nowhere
and make a mess of everything.

You are super strong and scary,

but who do you think you are?

Whatever you are, you piss me off.

You are just a piece of sh*t.

-My dream won't lose to you!
-My dream won't lose to you!

Asta! Yuno!

The magic that is welling up

is changing the objects
around him into wind.

Is Licht's child

waking up inside him?

The overflowing Anti Magic

is erasing all the magic around him.

Is his magic resonating with my own?

Storm of Blades.

Asta.

Yes.

Yuno is taking care of the real blades.

Asta is taking care of the magical blades.

Both of them are using their powers
to block all of them.

You and I…

Can do this!

-I'll destroy you
-I'll destroy you

-if you get in my way.
-if you get in my way.

Heal.

Damn it. What's going on?

He can do that?

You two are impressive
for being able to hurt me.

One has the power of a spirit,
is loved by mana

and has the power of a meddlesome
comrade who dwells within

the Five-Leaf Grimoire
that I should have possessed.

I don't know where you came from,

but you may have that grimoire.

When the owner of the Clover Grimoire

is engulfed in deep despair,

it will create the Five-Leaf Grimoire.

Finally, I have a body
and a Dark Grimoire.

I can rule over the world as a devil

in my true form and power.

Five hundred years ago,

I succeeded in creating
the Despair Grimoire,

but he resisted at the very end.

So this time,

when they were using
the Forbidden Magic to reincarnate,

I mingled wicked thoughts
with their souls,

making it easier
to steal their sense of self.

I wanted them to be the stepping stones
for me to trample on.

Empty hearts are so simple.

I have deceived, k*lled, and plundered,

for the sake of this moment.

It was fun.

You are unforgivable.

I'm not going to let you
get away with that!

Unfortunately,

I'm not the one you have to deal with.

Go on a rampage as you please.

Let your hatred and despair guide you.

Patolli.

When an elf is overflowing with malice,

he became a Dark Elf.

Demon Light Magic,

Sword of Light of Severance.

Black light!

It's so fast.

I couldn't evade all of it
even with my Mana Zone.

Asta, are you still alive?

Of course I am, Yuno!

There was a lot of it
and the att*ck was intense too!

The weight of the att*ck
was off the charts.

I would be dead now if the Anti Magic
flooding out of me hadn't absorbed it.

Damn it, he is getting way stronger.

Both the destined one who carries
the hybrid child of an elf and a human

and the defective one with no magic

who can somehow handle
the Five-Leaf Grimoire

will meet their ends here.

I don't know who you are, devil.

But you will die with him
if you don't steal that body soon.

I don't understand.

I can't feel any ki from him at all.

This is just a heartless,
b*rned-out shell now.

It's merely casting scorched shadows
of magic in the grimoire.

Just have some fun with it.

So the exit is up above, right?

Then, I'll leave now.

Take care!

Wait, you bastard!

Yuno!

Mana Zone,

Spirit Storm!

Move.

You can't forgive me

because I'm human

and I can't forgive you either.

But we should be able
to understand each other.

So please move!

Hatred.

This is bad.

This magic is…

No matter what happened in the past,

no matter how hard and painful
we went through,

we can try to understand each other!

I will never give up!
