Grim had also seemed to sense how bad the situation was becoming. "What's going on?! All my fur is standing on end!"

You glanced over at Deuce and Ace with a paled expression.

The dark blue haired male seemed to slowly understand. "Don't tell me.."

Riddle grinded his jaw. "Leona's magic is getting stronger at a fast rate! ...I can't keep the seal on!"

"No. This isn't magic at all. This amount of evil, negative energy... He can't be!" Lilia's eyes widened.

Cater quickly turned to the others inside the stadium. "Everyone, run! Get away!"

The Savanaclaw residents had then ran out of the stadium and left the dorm.

Cracks had started to appear on the ground before the debris began to levitate in midair. The collar on Leona doon disappeared into sparks.

Cater almost lost his balance, taken aback by the scene. "He just repelled Riddle's unique magic!"

Leona's fringe covered his eyes, hiding most of his expression. Yet you could still tell that he was enraged. "I've been loathed since I was born, no place to belong and no future in sight. That will never change, even if I try."

"This agony, this despair... How could any of you possibly understand!" Leona had lifted his head, a look of hatred present on his face.

You then heard a loud roar of a lion as Leona was covered in black mist. The atmosphere around turning tense.

You all could only watch and wait as the mist cleared to see Leona's changed form. While behind him loomed a large shadow.

Jack was rather astonished by what he was seeing. "What the hell?! A giant shadow just came out of Leona's body!"

"That's a blot incarnation!" Deuce exclaimed.

You could hardly focus as you stared at the large shadow behind him. It appeared to be a huge lion with a black mane. And similar to the Queen of Hearts, it's head was also a glass filled with black blot, along with the cracks in the glass were blot spilled out from. While it's body parts looked sewn together.

The King Of The Rock, you thought in dismay.

"He's going evil berserker mode just like Riddle did?!" Grim cried out.

"Retreat on your own if you can stand!" Riddle declared before turning towards the two dorks. "Ace, Deuce, carry the injured outside!"

"Yes!" The two said and unison and quickly scampered around to help.

Riddle then quickly turned to the Diasomnia Vice Dorm Leader. "Lilia-senpai, please go get the teachers for assistance!"

"Understood. Please hang in there until I return." Lilia nodded gravely before disappearing into sparks.

Leona growled and roared, resulting in a huge wave of wind being sent towards you all. You squinted your eyes as sand was also blown.

Cater let out a groan once it had died down. "Why do we always get involved with scary things? I'm not made for this kind of stuff!"

Riddle looked at the ginger from the corner of his eye. "I won't mind if you run away in fear."

Cater sighed, twirling a piece of hair. "Trey will kill me if I leave you alone here. So I've got your back, Dorm Leader!"

"What the hell is that?!" Jack asked you.

"That's an overblot! We have to get Leona-san back to his senses before I can explain it." You told him before your gaze had returned back to Leona and the transparent figure that almost looked like it was crying. "His life is in danger. If  this keeps up, he could die..."

The wolf's eyes widened as he heard you say that. "So we just have to knock Leona-senpai back to his senses, right?"

Ruggie slowly sat up, wincing at every moment. "I'll help too... I can't just lay here after all he said....!"

"A lowly hyena is going to defy me?" Leona let out a wicked laugh before glaring down at your group. And as he spoke you could hear another voice over his own. "What a dumb joke. None of you will see the morning sun!"

Grim smirked and jumped out of your arms. "If we catch him, we're gonna be in the Magical Shift Tournament!"

"Is that really what you're thinking right now..?" You muttered, shaking your head. "Everyone, that shadow behind Leona-San can possibly attack you! So please raise your guard!" You shouted at the others.

Riddle and Cater nodded, waiting for an opening. Jack took out his magical pen and readied himself while Ruggie nodded.

"I'll indicate where that shadow will attack!" You told Grim before waiting for a good opening. While the blot incarnation roared.

"If I can't overturn the world, I'll turn it all into sand! Everything!"

"Have you been thinking that this whole time..?" Ruggie muttered and stared at the proud lion.

"Ruggie-senpai, don't hold back! Let's bring Leona-senpai back to his senses!"

The hyena looked over at Jack with wide eyes before nodding.

"Let's go!" Grim laughed and hopped around in joy despite the terrible situation you were all in.

"Grim, use your fire breath on the shadow now!" You instructed the monster who happily did. Taking a deep breath before blowing a large wave of fire.

"Gahaha! How's that?!" Grim smirked and began taunting the shadow which only outraged it more.

"To the left!" You quickly shouted, seeing the monster was going to attack. You and Grim both avoided its attack before Grim sent another wave of fire towards it.

That was until Leona directed his unique magic towards you two instead.

"Grim watch out!' You shouted at the monster, barely managing to avoid the lion's attack.

Grim shrieked and immediately doged as well. Soon blowing a few fireballs at the shadow after he regained his composure.

Leona then waved his staff, causing a whip-like sand to appear and attack his two dormmates. Jack and Ruggie had been able to avoid the first three, but didn't see the fourth one.

They fell to the ground, grunting in pain. But still stood back up in a flash, tiredly panting.

Riddle on the other hand began to attack from behind the two. While Cater did his best to reflect Leona's spells.

Jack narrowed his eyes at Leona. "He's strong! You're this strong, but you still choose to give up!"

"Shut up!" Leona snarled at the wolf. "This guy... That guy.... To sand with you all!"

Jack and Ruggie doged another one of Leona's attack. Attacking back with various magic that they know. And after a few more minutes, Leona had finally been defeated. His head hung low as he muttered.

"King....I'll...be.."

The shadow let out a painful roar before it dissipated from the others sight, yet you could still see it. Suddenly, it flew towards your direction as your surroundings became dark, sending you to that familiar place you had been in after Riddle's overblot to see his past. But this time, you were forced to watch Leona's.
