In the Magic Knights’ changing room, Asta was preparing to change into his King’s Selection Knights uniform when he saw Drake.
Asta rushed over. "Drake, where have you been? I was worried!"
Drake smiled and handed him a long box.
Asta opened it, finding a worn-out sword with an ancient look and a clover symbol on the tip.
Drake said, "A congratulatory gift for joining the King’s Selection Knights! You’ll soon use its power."
Asta took the sword, smiling. "I don’t understand, but thanks! Wait, you haven’t answered my question!"
Drake shook his head. "You’ll understand later. I have a favor to ask."
Drake grabbed Nero perched on Asta’s head. "Lend me Nero!"
Asta was about to ask when Noelle called him for assembly. He responded and turned back to find Drake gone.
Nero struggled when it saw Rhya.
Drake calmly addressed Rhya. "How’s it going? Are you ready?"
Rhya nodded. "After Patri retrieves the magic stone and activates the reincarnation magic, I’ll use telepathy to gather everyone at the floating dungeon "Gravito Rock Zone". Don’t worry; they won’t cause damage."
Drake nodded. "Clever. But how did you get all your comrades assigned to this mission?"
Rhya smiled. "That’s simple; Patri—the boy possessing him—is in charge of this mission’s arrangements! I told him about the forbidden magic seal on Licht; we needed everyone’s power to help him recover. The rest was up to him."
Drake gave a thumbs-up. "Well done!"
Rhya continued, "Don’t celebrate too soon! Many Golden Dawn members are reincarnated comrades; transferring them all would be suspicious. Some remain in the capital; problems might arise."
Drake waved his hand. "If it’s not too many, it’s fine. Other Captains will arrive in the capital; they’ll handle it."
After Patri attacked the Wizard King, the absent Captains would be summoned. Yami and Jack (Green Mantis Squad Captain) alone could handle the rampaging elves.
Drake visited the unconscious Fuegoleon. He’d initially worried about the lack of Salamander affecting his recovery, but his concerns were unnecessary. Fuegoleon’s life force and magic power were transforming; upon awakening, he’d be stronger. Even without Salamander, he could overcome this.
This would just delay his awakening. It was unclear if he’d be ready for the plan; he’d be a powerful ally if he was.
And... Drake had another reason not to worry. The elves would target the royal family first, as they were the elves’ greatest enemies. Drake didn’t care about the royals’ safety.
Rhya seemed to sense Drake’s thoughts. "You’re surprisingly ruthless! But I don’t mind."
Drake smiled, continuing, "The reincarnation magic tablet is at the demon god’s skull, right?"
Rhya nodded. Drake said to Nero, "Good. After the reincarnation magic is activated, we can revive the First Wizard King! His power is crucial against the demon!"
Nero, who’d been struggling, calmed down, staring at Drake. Drake was surprised to see surprise in a bird’s eyes.
Drake smiled. "I grew up in Hage; I noticed the empty space on the statue matched the magic stone’s shape. Five hundred years erased the truth, but clues remained. The strange reincarnation magic, combined with information from the elves, revealed the truth. Nero, you’re too familiar with magic stones; using forbidden magic changes one’s essence, like your state."
Drake’s words were a post-hoc rationalization; the girl who’d endured for 500 years wouldn’t believe him otherwise.
Nero was shocked; she’d thought Drake was just a talented mage. But he possessed incredible intellect, deducing the 500-year-old truth without clues.
Drake would be surprised to know he was considered "terrifying" by Nero.
Rhya confirmed the plan and left. It was crucial; he had much to do.
Drake placed Nero on his shoulder. "Let’s go! Hage Village is where we’ll get all the magic stones."
Drake’s wings spread; he flew towards Hage Village.
He sensed powerful magic; a massive magic circle appeared; countless light swords emerged, forming a blinding white light.
This was Patri’s "Arrows of Judgment," usable only after breaking his magic seal; its range covered the entire Clover Kingdom. This could destroy the kingdom, but not Julius, who mastered time magic.
But the target wasn’t just Julius; it was the Wizard King. Julius couldn’t counter the magic and fight Patri simultaneously.
The swords fell; a clock appeared beneath them. As the clock’s hands reversed, the swords dissipated; the sky returned to normal. The clock vanished.
Drake sighed; powerful figures in other worlds often became unavailable, making the protagonists the heroes.
Drake continued; he wouldn’t rely on others. He reached the demon skull.
A light pillar erupted, scattering into countless lights in two directions.
