Flashes of light and chaotic shadows constantly intersected and overlapped, and with each flicker of light and shadow, the castle and high walls suffered devastating attacks, until the last long flash of light completely split the pointed castle roof.
Countless falling stones rained down from the sky.
The sound of the collapse made pedestrians in the streets look up, and the flickering light and shadow danced under the clear blue sky, as if someone was fighting above the capital.
Connecting it to the terrifying organization known as the Eye of the Midnight Sun, could it be that the Magic Knights were clearing out Eye of the Midnight Sun members within the Royal Capital?
From afar, Marx, who was pondering in the castle why the communication magic had suddenly been blocked, looked up at the window, and the flashes of light above caught his attention.
"What's happening there?"
"Wizard King Julius's magic aura... he seems to be fighting someone. The flickering light... is that Light Magic? Someone who can fight Wizard King Julius and use Light Magic—"
Marx suddenly trembled, "It's the Leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun!"
"Even though the defensive barrier magic was readjusted after the last Royal Capital raid, he's already broken through without any commotion. How did he manage it?!"
"No, this isn't the time to dwell on that." Marx shook his head, "This guy has been able to fight Wizard King Julius for so long without falling behind. He's very troublesome. What if something unexpected happens..."
"I have to help!"
"Although I really want to go and lend Wizard King Julius a hand, the power difference is too great. I would only be a burden to him."
"Only Magic Knights Squad Captain-level individuals can keep up with this battle. I need to quickly send this message to the headquarters of the marked Magic Knights Squads!"
Although communication magic with the outside world was blocked, places where magic marks existed would not be subject to this restriction.
Marx opened his grimoire and used memory magic's information exchange magic to contact the remaining Magic Knights Squads with Captain-level fighting power: Blue Rose, Golden Dawn, Coral Peacock... "Emergency notification! All Magic Knights Squad Captains! The Wizard King is currently engaged in battle with a person suspected to be the Leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun at Clover Castle. All squad members, please follow your Captain's instructions and come to provide escort!"
Listening to the message transmitted by Marx, Jack, the Captain of the Green Mantis Squad, licked the blade on the side of his arm with his tongue, "The Wizard King encountered the Leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun, and they are now fighting in the Royal Capital?"
"...Ah, they've gone after the Wizard King? Those few guys whose strength is still inferior to ours? Looks like I won't get a chance to tear them apart."
Jack pondered for a moment, then rode his flying broomstick towards the Royal Capital. His speed was fast, but not at its limit. He had great confidence in Wizard King Julius's strength, and going to the Royal Capital was only to deal with and shred other small fries.
Completely different from Jack.
Realizing he had been tricked into coming to the Golden Dawn to "atone," Yami immediately extinguished the cigarette in his mouth, casually snatched a nearby flying broomstick, broke through the window, and leaped out. A black stream of light trailed a long tail, rushing towards the Royal Capital at maximum speed.
"They waited until now to make their move, so they must have made thorough preparations."
"You can't let anything happen to you, Boss Julius!"
Although he was very unwilling to think this way, today's event... coupled with previous speculations and suspicions, as for the current Leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun... Yami could only think of that guy... Just as the various Order of Knights Squads began to move, heading towards the Royal Capital, a brilliant ball of light unfolded above the Royal Capital, spreading out like flowing clouds until it enveloped the entire Clover Kingdom!
"This?"
Yami, who was rapidly approaching the Royal Capital on his flying broomstick, looked at the ball of light in the sky, "The scale of this Light Magic is so immense... It must be a trump card used against Boss Julius."
"Tch... Boss Julius, you have to hold on."
The dazzling ball of light naturally caught the attention of the citizens.
"What is that? So bright! Is it magic?"
"It's getting closer... It seems to be countless swords of light!"
"Mom, the sky is all white and so dazzling!"
The countless swords of light, forming a cloud-like mass, descended overwhelmingly, hovering before everyone's foreheads. Silently, a pale blue time disk appeared over the entire Clover Kingdom. As the hands on the time disk reversed, the countless swords of light shattered and dispersed.
It was also at this moment.
A sword of light pierced Wizard King Julius's body, and blood splattered.
The Leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun, "Licht," declared his victory: "Your Time Magic, which saved all the citizens, is truly amazing, but... it seems you have exhausted all the time and magic power you had accumulated!"
"The Wizard King, who seemed to have no weaknesses, in fact, has his greatest weakness because you are the Wizard King!"
"In the end, I won this battle!"
The magic crystal that fell from his body was firmly grasped in "Licht's" hand. Looking at the fallen Wizard King Julius, he was exceptionally excited: "Finally, the last step."
Black Space Magic appeared beside him. The person who appeared there was none other than Valtos, who had obtained the last magic stone from the Black Bulls. "My lord, we have obtained the magic stone you requested."
"Is that so." Licht showed a gentle smile, "Thank you, Valtos."
"Vangeance!"
Looking at the golden mask on the ground and the fallen Wizard King Julius, Yami drew his sword and roared, "Are you prepared...?"
Valtos's Space Magic covered Licht. The figure falling downwards still had a lingering smile on his face, "Yami Sukehiro, we'll meet again next time. Oh, by the way, I am Licht... William is sleeping!"
"Dark Magic, Dark Cloaked Dimension Slash."
The pitch-black ominous light cut through space, splitting the towering castle in two, but the Space Magic for teleportation completed its task one step ahead of the relatively slower Dark Magic.
Licht successfully escaped.

At the central rock of the Gelpete Rock Belt.
Mereoleona, using only one Blazing Fist Magic, was training Laiya, who was using various flashy magic spells.
The usually infallible Imitation Magic seemed exceptionally ridiculous at this moment.
Whether it was Flame Magic of the same attribute or Water Magic of a counter-attribute, both were incinerated by that woman's single punch.
"Damn it!"
"This woman is truly troublesome!"
...On the other side, Bai En, who was still following Captain Rill and the others, stopped.
He looked back at the Royal Capital.
"Large-scale Time Magic... The spatial coordinates left in the Royal Capital by Limitless Magic were instantly refreshed..."
"Has that guy from the Eye of the Midnight Sun succeeded?"
Bai En quietly distanced himself from the three people in front...
