The battle between reincarnated elves and the Magic Knights continued to wage, but now with more reinforcements in the form of the Black Bulls appearing in the middle of the city in a giant bull made of buildings. However, they had opponents as soon as they joined the fight in the Capital. An elf that had possessed the body of the Coral Peacocks Captain, Dorothy Unsworth, used a spell that sent many of the Black Bulls into another world, the World of Dreams. Meanwhile, the only ones that remained in the normal world were Asta, Grey, Gordon, and Henry, left to fight the elves possessing Gauche and his little sister Marie.

Y/n was nowhere to be found on the battlefield, for he had found more reincarnated elves to fight after he snuck into the elves' base. They tried to stop him as he continued to climb upwards, only for their magic to be either blocked or redirected towards each other. At this moment, Y/n was controlling every bit of mana around him, a Mana Zone Spell.

With each step, Y/n could feel a familiar mana above him getting closer, but right now he needed to check on his friends and comrades.

"Origin Spatial Magic: Spatial Rend."

Y/n swiped his hand at the elves who encountered him, launching an arc of glowing silver magic to disrupt the flow of mana around them and destroy their spells.

Y/n's Grimoire flipped to a different page next, "Origin Dream Magic: Eternal Paradise."

A pink and rose colored mist flew from his hands and produced a sweet smelling fragrance. It enveloped the elves as they were confused about what was happening.

"Huh? What is this," one of them asked.

Another tried to blow it away, "How can a human have this magic?"

"I'm sorry, but I need to check on my friends," Y/n apologized, "So I'll have to put you to sleep in order to keep the bodies of my fellow Magic Knights safe."

The elves couldn't hold their breaths any longer, and ended up inhaling the mist, making them all fall into a deep sleep, one where their dreams would make them not want to wake up. This made Y/n smile and sit against one of the walls, before setting up barriers to notify him of anyone coming.

Y/n flipped a page, and nodded, "Origin Eye Magic: All Seeing."

His silver eye began to glow as he closed it, letting him see exactly what he wanted to see. What he never expected was his comrades already split apart, with Asta, Grey, Gordon, and Henry facing an elf possessed Gauche and Marie.

"That's going to be a difficult fight, I just know it," Y/n grimaced, "Especially if I'm not there. But where's Vanessa and the others?"

His vision seemed to blur, until the surroundings and background changed, to see overwhelming pink and purple clouds everywhere. But there were also houses, impossibly large candy, and toys floating around as well.

"The Glamour World," Y/n gasped, "I've always wondered what it looked like when I first heard about the Coral Peacock Captain's Magic. I wonder what the others are gonna do against this elf within the Captain."

Just then, Y/n felt a jolt in his mind, from a disturbance in mana. With his eyes shooting open, he used Light Magic to move to the side. Whatever was going to attack him, crashed against the wall he was sitting against. Once the dust cleared, Y/n smiled knowing that his theories were correct.

"So you two have been brought back, I guess you're both vital to this plan," Y/n greeted, "How long has it been, Vetto and Fana?"

Vetto could be heard laughing, "You know it's funny that you ran into me. After all, you incinerated my last body."
