Moss Hue began to grow roots and leaves on its right arm, making it bigger and stronger.
Astrea said, "I see how it is..."
Meanwhile, somewhere else, Iris awakens and remembers what Lucifer said. She rushes outside, knowing what she has to do, as she runs out of the hospital.
Elsewhere, Faiz makes a plan to rescue the hostages from Moss Hue. Faiz thinks to himself:
Damn that Coral... Why the hell did we let him have jurisdiction over this territory? Damn it... Damn that corrupt bastard. Evacuation without letting these children escape first? We've got no choice. But how do these monsters even know how to take hostages? Are they growing intelligence or something? Regardless... we can't allow them to roam free.
Meanwhile, in the Existforger HQ, Lucifer says:
"Guess it's time to try again. Summon Guardian Angel Elise. Come."
A small angel appears on Lucifer's shoulder. Lucifer sits on his chair and says,
"Elise, start attempt 9710812111597."
"And Elise… what's my best rate so far?"
Elise replies, "So far, your best record is 87.9%. Now begin."
Lucifer closes his eyes and falls asleep in his chair.
Meanwhile, Astrea is preparing for his final attack against Moss Hue.
"I won't back down until I win this!" Astrea says.
Anew responds, "Let me help! You can't beat it on your own. Let me help you!"
Astrea shouts, "No! For how long must I be saved? Every time, someone was there to save me. But I couldn't save anyone—not Dad, not civilians. What is even the point of me being a knight if I can't protect anyone? How the hell am I supposed to be the Grandmaster if I can't even hold my own in a fight? How can I become the Grandmaster?"
Astrea says, "Now... time for my ultimate attack!"
After hearing Astrea's words, Anew can't help but shed a tear and fight harder than before.
Meanwhile, in Corefury territory, at Licht's home, Licht trains outside. His mom calls out,
"Licht, what are you training for after so long?"
Licht replies, "Mom, it's nothing. There's a mission soon… and I'm a bit out of shape with the Afterglow Technique."
Elodie thinks to herself, You two sure have grown up quite a lot.
She kisses Licht on the cheek and says, "I wish you good hunting."
Licht says, "Mom, I'm not a kid anymore."
Elsewhere, in a small village near the border between Arc Luatine and Existforger territory, a murder has taken place. The mayor was not only killed using string magic, but after death, was hung upside down to be made an example.
Upon receiving the information, Lucifer himself goes to investigate the crime scene. There, he meets the captain of Arc Luatine. Lucifer can't help but smile.
Meanwhile, in Speal, Astrea and Moss Hue begin to charge their ultimate attacks—
for the final battle.
