"WE'LL SEE YOU YAMI!" Finral called out before the portal disappeared.

"YOU BETTER COME BACK DAMN IT!" Yami yelled.

"Youngin--" Nolan said, "--Stay focused."

"Hey--Don't tell me what to do old man---" Yami said as he readied his sword, "---You just focus on keeping your niece and your squad members safe."

"Yeah---I got it." Nolan said.

Naotoshi added, "You just don't get killed."

Yami smiled at this, "Don't worry---I won't."

He soon turned over to Licht as he readied himself. That's when he made his first move.

"Light Magic: Light Swords of Conviction."

Thus the battle began. The light spears flew towards Yami as the teens had a bit of worry. However they were shocked to see that Yami had been able to deflect them all.

"Awesome!" Asta said as his eyes sparkled.

"Awesome!" Alistar repeated as he raised his fist in the air.

"He's so fast---" Feodora said, "---How is he doing that?!"

Pluck had started to write it up, "This goes beyond what normal humans can do!"

"WHY ARE YOU TAKING NOTES NOW!?" Liam shouted.

"He's boosting his physical abilities with reinforcing magic and cutting my light magic with a sword cloaked with dark magic." Licht thought, as he watched Yami block everything, "But that's not all---How about this?"

As the light spears continued to attack him, he suddenly vanished before appearing behind him, attempting to strike him from behind.

"Y---" Prism was about to shout before she took her and Licht by surprise. Yami didn't even turn around as he was able to attack Licht; though he managed to dodge his blade. Yet he still had a smile on his face.

"Bime i elena..." Prism said, stunned.

"Don't worry honey---" Nolan said as he patted her head, "---He's gonna be okay."

"So this is the power of the great Magic Knight heretic." Licht commented.

"Huh?" Yami said before noticing something, "Hey--Have I met you somewhere before?"

Licht had been taken back by this before Yami went to thrust his blade towards him. Though Licht had been able to dodge with ease. This didn't stop him as he continued to attack him head on.

"I'm pretty sure I don't know anyone who uses light magic." He said before Licht got behind him, "So who the hell are you?! What do you want with the Lizard Girl?! And what's so fun about all of this?!"

Just when Licht got behind him again, Yami took the opportunity to stab him. However Licht had been able to get above him.

"Let me tell you a fable." Licht soon said as he manifested a set of light spears and sent it flying towards him, "Long ago, in a certain village there lived a people with very strong magic. They were loved by mana. They changed the weather and manipulated ley lines. They had the power to rival the Gods. The humans from outside the village worshiped them as such. However gradually, the humans grew to fear their power. They envied it and wanted it. Until one day---A human fell for an elf, and they created the first village where humans and elves could co-exist."

"... Mom and dad..." Prism said softly as her expression changed, Asta, Feodora and the Familiars comforted her.

Licht soon attacked again though like before Yami had been able to block it.
