02x41 - The Wizard King vs. the Leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun

[bunniefuu]

It appeared as if humanity will soon
be destroyed by the demons.

But there was a mage who fought alone
and saved everyone.

He was called the Magic Emperor
and became a legend.

The Royal Knights arrived
at the Eye of the Midnight Sun's base.

Without fear of the enemy's opposition,

they headed for its center,
where the leader, Licht, might be.

But…

-We really have nothing to do!
-We really have nothing to do!

Why did you duplicate yourself for?

-No, it wasn't my intention!
-No, it wasn't my intention!

-You're obviously the fake one!
-No, you're the fake one!

Shut up!

She set them both on fire.

What are you doing?

Are you trying to k*ll me?

I don't remember bringing a guy
who would easily be k*lled by that.

It turns out
the real identity of the fake Asta

was Rhya the Treacherous,
the last member of the Third Eye.

A destruction magic
that incinerates everything!

Fire Magic,

Calidus Brachium!

The intense battle
between Fire Magic and Imitation Magic.

Mereoleona's magic and attack power

gradually surpassed Rhya.

On the other hand, Yuno and the rest
continued heading to the center.

I'm sorry to say this,
but given your level,

you can't stop me.

That sound is…

I heard it before too.

Is that a heartbeat?

It feels like I've felt this power before.

Right at that moment…

Back at the Black Bull's base that

was att*cked
by the Eye of the Midnight Sun…

We managed to chase them away,

but this is just too much.

I don't want those uninvited guests
to come anymore.

Shouldn't you restore the base
back to its original state?

I can't. I have exhausted all my power.

That's what he said, Gauche!

Where is it? Where exactly is it?

Where is Marie's merchandise?

It has probably been squashed

and crushed to pieces.

Don't say such horrible things so slowly!

Speaking of which,
you should come and help out!

But…

Cut the crap! Come over here,
you long-haired slowpoke!

Hey, Gauche!

I advise you not to do that.

Come over!

But…

No buts or I'll k*ll you!

I got it.

Finally, you--

If you get too close to Henry,
your magic will be sucked away!

That's why I warned you.

I found it!

Awesome! It's all good!

It didn't get crushed or dirty…

Ma… Marie.

Her cheek?

I'll k*ll you!

I'm going to k*ll you,
the Eye of the Midnight Sun!

They left already.

Cut the crap! I'll k*ll you too!

I'm sorry.

You bastard, give me back my magic!

That's impossible.

I said, give it back!

That's impossible.

Speaking of which,

the Eye of the Midnight Sun said
they att*cked us for a reason

and that they have obtained something.

I bet they were just bluffing.

There is nothing more important
than Marie's merchandise.

Were they after my dolls?

I don't think so.

Well, if there's anything else
that's important…

What is it?

Could it be me?

Nothing! By the way,
something so big has happened.

Why isn't Captain Yami back here yet?

You're right.

"While I'm gone,
don't let others take over the base."

He made such ominous remarks
before he left.

Is he a prophet or what?

Hey, that's Black Bull's…

Why is he here?

It seems like
he's waiting for Captain Vangeance.

He has been waiting for a long time.

Should we go over and say hi?

-But he looks mad.
-You should go and say hi.

No, you should go.

Hey, what are you looking at?

Lord Yami.

What?

Would you like another cup of tea?

Sure.

How much more tea do you want me to drink?

My stomach is full of water!

I've made so many trips
to the toilet already!

You said it has a good detox effect?

But I don't feel refreshed at all!

I'm so sorry.

That guy called me here
and said he wanted to apologize to me.

But how long is your
Charismatic Weirdo Mask Captain

going to make me wait?

Soon. He will see you soon.

-Have a cup of tea first.
-Sure.

Didn't I tell you
that my stomach is full of water?

I'm sorry!

Come on. My ride isn't around lately.

It's quite a hassle for me to get here.

Besides,

although it was a battle
in the Selection Exam,

your vice-captain injured him badly.

Finral is still lying in the hospital.

But despite being detained,

your vice-captain refused to say anything.

Theoretically speaking,

it's your Charismatic Weirdo Mask Captain

who should come and apologize to me.

Is Golden Dawn looking down on me?

What terrifying pressure.

We sincerely apologize

for what Vice-Captain Langris did.

But please have faith
in Captain Vangeance.

He's an amazing person.

He would never knowingly insult you.

Who are you?

I'm not a suspicious character.

Every bit of you looks very suspicious.

Is your name Yami?

Please take care of the guys at the back.

This guy seems to see through
what I'm thinking.

We will get along for sure.

How many years has it been since then?

We both became captains.

I'm one to follow my intuition.

Vangeance,

that mask…

Can you take it off?

Yami, you suspect me, don't you?

You suspect that I am
the leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun.

I can sense the same things in you.

So, let me see your face.

I was born with it.

People called me a cursed child.

I'm glad I can explain and show you.

Thank you, Yami.

I don't think he was lying.

Lord Yami, please just wait
for a while more.

Captain would never…

I know that, you blockheads.

Lord Julius!

Lord Julius, are you here?

I took my eyes off him for one second
and he's gone.

He's not being serious

about his duties as the Magic Emperor.

He has unfinished work piling up

and I can't reach him
through my Communication Magic.

At this moment,

the members of the Royal Knights

are having a final battle
at the Eye of Midnight Sun's base.

I wish I could fly over
and fight side by side with them.

But I have been watching them
all this time, and so I know

that they have the strength

and the willpower to protect our kingdom.

It's all right. They can do it.

Marx is going to scold me too.

But I have to do what must be done.

It's not often
that you request to meet me.

William, what's the matter?

Lord Julius, thank you very much
for taking the time to see me.

You're the first
who doesn't care about my appearance

and acknowledges my strength.

The moment I met you,

my future suddenly became clear.

I grew up in a poverty-stricken village
outside of the Forsaken Realm

and was regarded as a cursed child.

Even though the noble family
took me in as its heir,

I was still treated cruelly.

But…

Hey, what kind of magic is that?

You were different.

You acknowledged my strength

and invited me to join the Magic Knights.

You don't have to take it to heart,

but if you still do…

Well…

From the moment you gave me this mask

and invited me to join the Magic Knight,

I was determined
to dedicate my grimoire to you.

It has been years since

and my feelings haven't changed at all.

I have always respected you.

Gosh, why are you talking about this
all of a sudden?

You're making me feel embarrassed.

That's why

I climbed up the ranks
to become a Magic Knight squad captain

and chose capable members

under the guidance of my magic

and formed the Golden Dawn.

Creating the ultimate squad

is the best way to repay you.

It's also for

another person who is important to me.

I met that friend before you

and he has always been with me.

Both of you will be walking
on a different path from now on.

That friend of mine and you

are people that I value a lot.

I can't bring myself to make a choice.

So

both of you shall decide yourselves.

The scar…

Thank you.

My only human friend, William.

Hello,

Magic Emperor, Julius Novachrono.

I'm Licht, the leader
of the Eye of the Midnight Sun.

I had really hoped that wasn't the case.

William.

I always felt that
you were hiding something

and that there was a side of you that
you didn't want to be known.

Yami probably felt that too.

I bet that was why

Fuegoleon was caught off guard

when he saw your real face.

When the Royal Capital was att*cked
by the Eye of the Midnight Sun,

I felt uneasy
when I faced their leader, Licht.

The magic power felt so familiar.

Also,

ever since I injured his arm,

you haven't been showing up much.

I couldn't help but harbor my doubts,

yet I still choose to believe
that it wasn't true.

But

I have never thought that
there were two souls in the same body.

It was you, but it wasn't you.

It doesn't seem like the work of magic.

How did you get rid of
the scar on your face?

The scar is a curse

placed on William's mother's family.

No curse cast upon humans
has anything to do with me.

I resent humans.

But William…

He was the only one that was different.

We were able to share
the same body after all.

Despite being human,

he accepted my feelings
and understood them.

The anger, sadness, and hatred

that I couldn't suppress.

We are the same as this bird.

We're not that strong.

Just because it can fly
like we can use special magic,

they are envious of us
and want to hurt us.

But I always think that one day,

we can get a mutual understanding
with human beings.

But I was wrong.

I was surprised

that your brother feels
the same way as I do.

I feel the same too.

I hope that one day, humans and elves
can live together peacefully.

But if that doesn't happen…

Tetia.

We will surely be able
to understand each other.

Yes!

If I hadn't met those humans,

we would…

There is only one way

to get rid of my rage.

We shall collect all of the magic stones

and fulfill our hearts' desires!

His motive
is to get revenge against humans.

Collecting the magic stones
will allow him to do that?

William understands me.

That's why he let me meet you.

The remaining two magic stones
are with you, aren't they?

This is the safest place after all.

I want to get those magic stones
to fulfill our wish.

William, you're a kind person.

There's another person in you

and you value him a lot.

It's all because you're kind.

As someone that you equally value,

it's my job to stop the person in you.

I'll win because I have your support.

No.

His heart is with me.

Magic Emperor, you'll have to die.

As the strongest mage in this kingdom

and as the Magic Emperor,

I hold you responsible for the sins

committed by humans in this kingdom.

Light Creation Magic,

Light Sword of Judgment.

Mana Zone,

Chrono Stasis Grigora.

Light Magic is the fastest
among all magical attributes,

but that does not mean it is unstoppable.

I see.

But how long can you keep it up?

This guy's magic
can control the flow of time.

By decelerating and stopping time,
he can restrain

or accelerate time
to rapidly age his opponent.

It can be one fatal blow.

A single attack can be lethal.

How ironic.

I was born with Light Magic.

The only thing that can oppose time
is light.

Light Creation Magic,

Bright Judgment Whip!

What's going on?

This guy uses a combination
of Mana Zone and time acceleration

to accelerate the time
of the magic around him

and feel the direction of magic

which allows him to foresee
his opponent's att*cks in the near future.

Regardless,

don't think you can surpass me.

You're too slow.

Even if you can foresee
what happens ahead,

there are limits
on how quickly you can evade.

Magic Emperor, it has been a while
since you got hurt, right?

That's right.

I've taken away the future of many people,

but I haven't seen myself bleed
for a long time.

I see there are limits
to your time-controlling magic.

The true attribute of my magic
is to steal time from my target.

I can store time

and use it at any time.

Although it's tiring to do that.

He reversed time and his wound is gone?

As one born with magic to steal futures,

my goal as Magic Emperor

is to create an indiscriminate future
where everyone lives peacefully.

Until that happens, I will not die.

To give mankind an indiscriminate future?

What a hopeless dream!

With your speed, the best you can do
is to dodge the attack.

You can't get near me,
let alone fight back.

I got you!

What? He's foreseeing things faster now?

I have seen your future.

You cannot defeat me.

-Petite Clover!
-Petite Clover!

Foresight.

I have seen through all your moves.

So you have the ability to foresee
what will happen in the near future?

Then guess what I'm going to do next.

Sure.

Mana Zone,

Chrono Stasis Grigora.

You're about to break into a nimble dance.

Then…

-Look.
-You'll make a dove appear from the hat.

-Look!
-You'll use an umbrella to spin the ball.

You'll pull the tablecloth out
without overturning the glasses.

You'll also mimic the sounds
that different animals make, right?

How was that?

You can't do that, can you?

I didn't know you were so talented.

I had really hoped that wasn't the case.

You can never defeat me.

I'm the Magic Emperor.

I have the duty to protect
this kingdom and its people.

Black Clover, Page ,

"Julius Novachrono."

You'll be defeated by my Time Magic.
