M dropped her longsword. Her arms morphed into blades of light as she charged straight toward Liebe.
Liebe held up his dark twin swords. No choice left… at this point, she's as strong as a Knight of Fire—if not an S-class Knight. I can't survive this fight without using attribute metal.
Taking to the skies, their magic clashed, creating shockwaves that shook even Valhalla Island.
At one point, M's strike nearly pierced Liebe—only for one of the angels to intercept and vanish in his place.
Liebe seized the chance. "Dark Magic: Despair Vortex!"
The blast struck M point-blank, knocking her back. Then, the four-winged angel followed up with an attack.
"Dark Magic: Devil Spear!" Liebe roared.
By continuously attacking from the front and back, M was trapped. Wherever she turned to retaliate, she was struck from the opposite direction.
"Well… didn't want to use this here," Liebe said, "but this is 70% of all I have right now! Dark × Attribute Metal Magic: Mercurian Warrior!"
Silver mercury covered the right side of his body while darkness cloaked the left. His blades gained a shining, reflective layer of silver—the enemy of light magic, the most reflective metal in the world.
Liebe thought, I didn't want to use this attribute until I had no choice… but oh well.
The angels rallied around him as they clashed with M at full force. The fight was so intense it could be seen even from Licht and Alysa's hospital beds.
From the window, Licht muttered, "From what I'm seeing… Liebe might just win this."
But M's power kept growing—stronger and stronger—her rate of growth unexplainable. Now, as she stared Liebe in the eye, she blocked every strike. Slowly, she was gaining the upper hand.
Liebe narrowed his gaze. "The Eyes of Sin… is that the kind you've got?"
He blinked—catching M off guard for just a moment.
"Let's hope it works like Mother said it would. Attribute metal 5% Dark Magic: Devil's Despair!"
As Liebe stared into M's soul, even she had to step back.
" Dark Magic: Devil's Depth!"
M began to sink into despair itself.
Liebe roared, "I'm ending this—Dark Magic: Roar of Darkness!"
M was blasted into the ground with overwhelming force. The battlefield went silent.
Liebe Al Faust had won.
