| Yami's attack cuts Charlottes in half, damaging the buildings but saving the city. Charlotte retreats with Marx and Owen. The damage to the city breaks open the magical prison and Gueldre Poizot escapes along with Revchi Salik, the disgraced magic knight who once tried to steal Yuno's Grimoire. An elf possessed knight attacks, forcing them to work together. They manage to bind his magic with Revchi's magic binding chains and then escape. The elf possessing Luck almost kills Noelle and Kirsch as their defence is ineffective against Luck's new power. Rhya wishes he could believe Asta’s words of peace, but having once believed the same of Tetia's brother he decides he cannot trust Asta. Rill, now possessed by an elf named Lira, joins the fight. Zora traps the two, allowing Asta to attack and cut Lira's chest, but it has no effect and Rill remains possessed. Rhya explains that as the reincarnation spell is complete and their souls have taken over the human bodies there is no longer a spell to nullify, so Asta's swords are ineffective. Three more possessed Royal Knights appear so Mereoleona forces Asta and Zora to escape while she remains behind to try kill all the possessed knights. Back in the capital her brother, Fuegoleon, almost wakes up again. |||||||

| The Crimson Lions are attacked by Randall, their elf possessed vice-captain, who overpowers them with wind magic. Leo realises that as they cannot see the air magic, he must sense the magic behind the air to avoid being injured and is able to briefly fight back. The remaining lions insist that he flee but Leo refuses and almost unlocks a new spell, but his unfamiliarity with the magic drains all his energy instantly. As Randall moves to kill Leo the entire base becomes engulfed in flames as Fuegoleon furiously awakens from his coma, his destroyed right arm replaced by one made of flames. He reveals he has been chosen as the new host of Salamander, the Spirit of Fire who once belonged to Fana. Furious that Salamander would choose a human royal as his host Randall attacks Fuegoleon, but is swiftly overpowered and restrained by Salamanders fire. Fuegoleon recalls that after Patry severed his arm and took his magic stone he left Fuegoleon alive, though Fuegoleon decides to keep this secret until he learns why. At Golden Dawn headquarters many Golden Dawn members are now possessed, including Langris, now possessed by Patry's cousin, Latry. Elsewhere Finral is forced to wake up from his coma by Yami violently kicking him out of bed. To save Langris, Finral decides to join the battle. |||||||

| Rhya announces to Mereoleona that their target is Asta, as his Grimoire and anti-magic swords once belonged to the real Licht. Asta tries to go back to help Mereoleona but is stopped by Zora. After a short but brutal fight Mereoleona is severely injured by Rhya and decides to use her most powerful spell, Purgatory, that engulfs the room in blue flames. The effort leaves her unable to move, and while the elves are injured, they are not defeated. The elves cast a team spell to kill her but at the last moment Asta and Zora arrive. It is shown that Asta formulated a plan for Zora to intercept the five spells with a trap that doubles the destructive power, shoot it at Asta, then deflect it back at Zora to quadruple it. The result is an explosion that allows Asta and Zora to escape with Mereoleona, however, Rhya manages to grab Asta through a portal to take him to Licht. Elsewhere, Mimosa is the only human left after Yuno, Klaus and Hamon are all possessed. Mimosa is captured before she can escape, just as Rhya drops Asta into the room. Asta is horrified to learn Yuno is also possessed and is now an enemy. |||||||

| The elf possessing Klaus realises that Klaus' soul is trying to retake control so he attacks Asta, injuring him. Rhya offers Mimosa in exchange for Asta’s Grimoire but Asta refuses and repeats his promise to become Wizard King. Asta's words are heard by Yuno and he instinctively saves Asta, revealing his soul is back in control, but he has retained the elf’s body and power. Rhya is confused as the reincarnation should have sent Yuno's soul to sleep. As the mage in the sphere of light, revealed to be Licht, has not yet moved, Rhya suspects he needs more time to reincarnate. Yuno senses that the possessed knight's souls are asleep while the elves control their bodies, whereas in Yuno's body it is the elf soul that is asleep. Asta activates his demon form and he and Yuno knock Klaus and Hamon unconscious. Licht suddenly awakens and retrieves the nearby black sword, which turns white as he touches it. Nero appears from Asta's robe while Licht steals the Demon Dweller sword from Asta before he can react. They duel fiercely but Licht's speed and greater skill with the anti-magic swords overwhelms them. Working together Asta and Yuno both manage to surpass their previous limits but Licht uses his unnamed sword to block their attack, which is then retrieved by Asta. Licht attacks and destroys most of the floating dungeon and the surrounding forest. Asta is left unconscious while the unnamed sword turns black and is absorbed into his Grimoire. |||||||

| Rhya congratulates Licht on his victory but is confused he did not retrieve the five clover Grimoire, though Licht merely replies the Grimoire does not belong to him anymore. Yuno manages to save Asta and Mimosa. The elves use their magic to begin moving the floating dungeon towards the city. Asta wakes up and meets the other knights who avoided being possessed, Nozel, En, and Kirsch. Nozel is secretly amazed Asta survived a situation that left Mereoleona unconscious. Nozel is contacted by his squad and learns about the other elves. To protect the kingdom Nozel decides the possessed knights should be killed. Noelle reveals Luck may have held Latry back and allowed her to escape, proving the possessed knights are fighting against the elf souls and she insists on saving them instead of killing them. Nozel agrees and they start following the dungeon as it flies over Hage village where another elf has appeared and injured Father Orsi. Nozel allows Asta and Yuno to protect their home but insists Noelle comes with him, suggesting his attitude towards her has radically improved. Sister Lily fights against the elf and Nash, one of the orphans, is almost killed but is saved by Asta and Yuno, determined to protect their home and family. |||||||

They recall all Asta and Yuno's most recent experiences with their squads, the Wizard King, The Underwater Temple, the Witches Forest and the Midnight Sun. While Yuno fights the elf Asta tries to use his sword to remove the poison from Father Orsi, but fails as the original spell is gone and cannot be nullified, while the poison remains in Father Orsi's body. Father Orsi manages to tell Asta how proud he is of both him and Yuno and asks that they protect the village then dies from the poison.
