M said, "No, it can't be. Mia, you are here. It means Alysa and the others... they didn't make it." Isurugi said, "We have to go."
Licht said, "What were your last coordinates? Tell me. Tell me, goddamn it, tell me!"
Mia said, "It was, sir... 69, 78, 68."
Licht said, "Good. I can go. Warp there."
Mia said, "I'm sorry. I failed to protect the admiral and bring them back safe."
Licht said, "I will deal with you after I'm done with this." As he used a warp orb to teleport there, he reached the site. He saw the ground covered in blood. Alysa and Elizabeth had unlocked their respective demon forms—the Masks of Ifrit: Demonic Model Flauros for Alysa, and Mask of Ifrit: Mythical Model Astaroth for Elizabeth. Hedin and Iris were also in their demonic forms—the demon Zegan and Stolas respectively. Argo lay on the ground, his torso severed. Aoi was barely standing in her newly unlocked demonic form, Focalor.
Licht said, "How dare you harm my friends?" From their pools of blood, Alysa said, "Licht, you came. Sorry it ended up like this." Elizabeth said, "Big brother, you came." Aoi said, "Someone actually came for us."
Licht said, "Save it for after we are done with this bastard." As he threw warp orbs at everyone, teleporting them all away, Licht said, "Well then... damn. That was my last one. Guess this is the end for me. But if I'm going down, I'm taking this bastard down with me."
As he said, "Light Magic: Divine Light's Piercing Execution," the light radiating from his blade was bright enough to illuminate the whole area. Licht said, "I will turn you to ash."
The voice of a child was heard saying, "The demons of the Ars Goetia must die. The enemy of God must die." As it fired its beam weapon towards Licht, he launched his attack. The attacks clashed.
From the hotel, immense magic power was felt. As they were being treated, Alysa tried to crawl towards the balcony. Lumos said, "Alysa, rest. You are all critically wounded." Alysa said, "Lumos, help me up. I need to see this." Elizabeth said, "Someone, please! Brother is fighting out there."
Liebe came out in his current state. He said, "That was Licht's magic power. What happened?" Zen helped Liebe towards the balcony, carrying him by the shoulder. As they came out, they were in awe. It was as bright as day. Licht was as bright as the sun in the distance, tens of km away.
Liebe said, "Damn it, bastard. Zen, get me there right now. I need to save Licht."
Zen said, "You can't open the book, and I'm not letting you go. The last time, you were lucky to survive. But this time, if you go, you will die without exception. And death can't allow you to complete your end of our bargain."
Liebe began to tear up. Liebe said, "Please... please just get me there. He is my brother. Please... please just..."
Zen said, "No. Life isn't always fair."
M said, "If he isn't able to, then send me."
Zen said, "Not possible. In order for us to teleport, one of us must be involved. If Liebe or I am teleported, then one of us can take you as an extra. The spell is called Dark Castling for a reason."
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Licht was impaled in the gut and bleeding heavily. He said, "Damn it... Liebe. Guess I'm gonna die here. Sorry, Dad, I couldn't catch up to you. Sorry, Mom, I failed to come back home. I wish I could have had dinner with you guys before jumping off to my missions. Well, Liebe, at least you've got it from here. I evaporated every drop of water in a 50 km radius, and all the sub-units are taken care of. Damn, I wish we got to waste more nights drinking till dawn like kids."
As thunderclouds began to gather above the lake, devastating black lightning struck the ground, causing shockwaves.
From afar, Alysa and the others saw the thunder. Elizabeth said, "He made it in time." Alysa said, "At least it's done."
