Alex smiled at his words, finding it funny sihe guy was still alive and kig.

  Opening his grimoire, Yami opened a page. "Okay the's see... Dark Binding Magic..."

  But he wasn't able to finish his sentence sinething caught him by surprise.

  Alex was already staring a little ahead to the left where a spatial portal had opened up and three figures had dropped out from it.

  "The Spatial Magic..." Gauarrowed his eyes and stared ahead.

  "Who are they?" Finral asked, staring at the three figures.

  A young man among the newers yawned. "Wow, things get quite serious here. I think it's too much of a drag but even I... have to save my friends!"

  He fshed in front of Yami who was ready to strike with his hand on his katana's hilt. And even Yami was left fbbergasted as he touched his grimoire.

  "What a weird pattern! Well... it doesn't matter."

  "Tch." Yami clicked his tongue in annoyance as he got careless which caught him by surprise by the guy using the light speed.

  'Dark Magic: Dark Coated Lightless Ssh!'

  But the young man was slightly faster as he jumped backward, putting some distaween them.

  The dark ssh grazed his shoulder, giving a small wound.

  "Oow! pain, pain..." He raised his hand and cast a healing spell over his wounded shoulder.

  The three figures instantly surrounded Patolli with one of them c his entire body in fmes which seemed to be healing him.

  He smiled gently as he gazed at them.

  "You came... I'm sorry... My power alone wasn't enough. They are strohan I presume. But if you're here then I don't have to worry."

  The young man raised his hand as he zily stared at Yami and others. "Oye, Licht... don't try to shoulder everything yourself."

  He had a red tattoo on his left cheek and patches of white hair in his messy bck hair

  Another one was a very tall and muscur man with long blond hair and a blond beard with sharp teeth. A red tattoo crossed horizontally under his eyes and over the bridge of his nose. He had a rather beast-like appearance. He was wearing a short-sleeved vest, light-colored pants, and a pair of sandals.

  "How do you do that to my friend? I'll shred you to pieces!"

  "Licht... Are you hurt?! I hate... everyone who hurt you!"

  The st but not least was a slim young woman with with a serious expression. She had thick, wavy, pink hair that fell just below her shoulders and rge sea-green eyes. In the ter of her forehead urple, multi-faceted mage stohat was framed by a red tattoo. She was wearing a high-colred, furry maroon dress beh the standard light hooded robe of her group, with open-toed, knee-high boots. She was also carrying a pouch with her that was strapped around her shoulder.

  "Huh? Who are they? Reinforts?!" Gauche asked, feeling a tremendous amount of mana from them.

  Patolli smiled as he said. "Let me introduce you. These three are the stro of the Eye of the Midnight Sun. In bat they surpass me... The Third Eye!"

  "They surpass you? It must be a bluff!" Finral minated while still scared of them. He knew he was not a match for any of them.

  Yami took a puff of his cigarette and released a cloud of smoke.

  "Bluff? It's a pain in the ass!"

  Rhya oher hand turned serious as he created a bde made out of Dark Magic.

  "So I guess I'll prove it. Even if it's a pain..."

  Finral and Gauche were taken aback, watg him using the same magic as their captain si was very unique.

  Nobody except Yami had possessed it sihe establishment of the kingdom.

  "Your kingdom takes the clover as its symbol. The clover's leaves hold pleasant words that don't suit you. I've given them hat ter those words..."

  Gng at Rhya, he said. "Rhya, the Disloyal!"

  Rhya unched a dark-coated ssh at Yami which Yami tered with his own.

  "Hey! Don't go ripping people's magic! I'll sue you for cht infri!" Yami blurted out.

  "Mister Yami!" Finral called out quickly.

  Yami turned his hand and saw the huge guy covered in a red glow charging at him with his eyes resembling a beast.

  'Beast Magic: Bear Cw!'

  He cut Yami's katana in two with a swing of his hand.

  "Vetto, the Despair!" At this moment, Patolli's voided in everyone's ears.

  Yami was a little surprised as the Vetto guy was able to read his qi.

  Vetto stared at Yami with a mad expression, grinning. "Go on... Show me despair. It will make you taste better!"

  Yami being Yami poi his broke katana, berating.

  "Why you...! This is a ade katana and it takes me a fortune. You better pay me back, you loser!"

  "Mister Yami!" Finral shouted again.

  But this time, a shadow fshed in front of Yami and swung down his sword horizontally, cutting the ining fire into two parts, which scorched the ground, showg how dangerous it would be to take it head-on.

  "Fana, the Hateful!" Despite the attack being blocked, Patolli tihe introdu.

  Fana gred at Yami and others in hatred, lookiremely ruthless as she muttered. "I hate you... I'll never five you... I'll kill you!..."

  A small lizard-like creature was standing on her shoulder who had spitted the fmes out of its mouth.

  Just like Slyph of the Wind, it was one of the fendary spirits, the Samander of the Fire!

  Alex put the sword over his shoulder and gri her. "Sorry, but you 't. I'm already dead, my dear~"

  Staring at Patolli who was getting healed, he cpped for him.

  *Cp* *Cp* *Cp*

  "Not bad, not bad at all! Then I should also introduce myself properly or it will be rude." Alex's eyes sparkled with a pitch-bck eerie darkness with his body exg a malevolent aura.

  The atmosphere itself was trembling. Mana, the magical energy densely packed in the air, was resonating with the awakening of an otherworldly being.

  Patolli and the three elves shuddered just at the mere presence as their senses were much mreater than the norm and they could feel the bottomless power, pressing down on them.

  Patolli even fot to take a breath as he stared at Alex's eyes in horror. The phoenix robe that was healing him vanished as Fana and others lost trol of their magic, shivering under Alex's gaze.

  Yami, Finral, and Gauche were still better than the elves sihey were not the target of that pressure and were staring at Alex's baot directly into his eyes which were brimming with the power of death but they were still shell-shocked heless, feeling su aura from their friend.

  Alex's facial lip twitched upward into a cruel smile as he grinned devilishly.

  "You talk about the three leaves of the Clover. But I'm the fifth leaf. I'm The Devil!!"
