➨ "Wait, we need to back up. Your reincarnations are trying to take over my body?" You said slowly just for clairty's sake.

"That is what I just said." Ryha repeated like it was a simple concept to understand. "Not just you, but there are others who have already awakened."

This entire situation made you nauseous. Or maybe it's the after effects of what just happened to you. If there really is an elf trying to overtake you, there's way bigger issues than just what you're feeling. No, something much worse was happening. For starters, reincarnation magic on that large of a scale was terrifying.

Mereoleona's expression didn't falter. "So what you're saying is there's most likely a bunch of elves running around the kingdom?"

Rhya didn't answer her question verbally. Instead, he stood up from the ground and dusted himself off. "I think it's about time we wrap this up, yeah?" His power just didn't stop rising. Before the fight even began, this guy was already multiple levels above you.

His grimoire opened again and you took a step back. It didn't matter if it was a 4v1, he could most likely wipe you, Zora, and Asta out with ease. Mereoleona would be the only struggle. That idea in your head was confirmed when he activated two spells at the same time. A light, and spatial combination.

"If you don't wanna die, you gotta move!" Mereoleona shouted as she powered up her own attacks.

Light daggers were raining from the air. And all while he was just jumping from portal to portal, taunting you guys, and evading the fiery brigade. You watched carefully, and calculated where you needed to go each time you dodged a strike.

Even then, it was hard to keep up. You could only move so fast, and with the extra addition trying to take over, it was keeping you from moving at your full speed.

Asta did what he could, deflecting whatever came his way. He got to stay stationary with that tactic, while you and Zora were jumping around the field without breaks.

"Hey, do you think your trap magic could help us out here?" You called out to him.

Zora didn't answer for a moment. When he did, he sounded irritated. "Be patient."

During the times you have seen him fighting, most of the tricks he's used were set up a day in advance. Or prior to the battle. Can he even do anything if he's constantly being bombarded?

Maybe not a question you should ask. Might piss him off more.

If he wasn't, you might as well give it a shot. Just as you pushed your hand out to bring your grimoire forward, a rumble nearly knocked you off your feet. You froze.

Another mass surge of mana.

Was Ryha not enough? Who was about to come join him?

The cave wall cracked, and then not so suddenly, crumbled and someone broke through. Really, something broke through.

When the dust cleared, you focused on who it was. It was... Captain Rill riding on some stone dragon-like creature? Except immediately, you could tell it wasn't really him. The red markings, and unmistakable golden glow was evident.

"Oh no, they got Captain Rill!" Asta exclaimed.

His picture magic was already incredibly powerful, you doubted he needed elf drugs to enhance that. You tilted your head to the side and squinted. "So is that what I looked like?"

"Sure is." Zora stepped up, breathing heavily. "Except your power levels didn't raise all that much."

"What, is that supposed to be some sort of insult?"
