As Liebe concentrated under the Z Jammer, his magic was diffusing.
Liebe said, "Demonics. Dark Magic: Grand Black—Algjör Svarthol. Please, darkness, end whoever I call my foe and save all I hold dear. Now, Black Nova!"
As dark rings formed around him, darkness began to expand, engulfing the mall. As everyone saw the expanding darkness, Licht's team saw this. Mia, barely awake, said, "Admiral, what is this darkness? Is this the Fleet Admiral's magic?"
Aoi said, "This darkness—it's frightening. I never want to fight it again."
Licht said, "Crap. Liebe is here. I have failed."
Meanwhile, with Warner's team:
Warner said, "Is this the God of Darkness? He is here."
Isurugi said, "The Fleet Admiral made it."
Hedin and Lumos said, "Yeahhh! We are safe."
M said, "Liebe... shit. I failed."
As the attack expanded for about 300 m, everyone perished who wasn't part of Team Liebe. Even the mall itself was wiped from the ground. Only a crater was left after the attack.
As Liebe screamed, "Licht, Alysa, M! Where are you guys?"
Licht and everyone came and said, "We are OK."
Warner, Lichee, and their team came, and Warner said, "We are safe too."
Yet the other team wasn't coming. Medical teams came, and the whole area was scoured. Only M was found under rubble. They were taken to the hospital.
Everyone came in. Liebe checked and checked for Alysa during the endeavor.
Licht was shot in the shoulder. Isurugi said, "Admiral, you require medical attention."
Aoi said, "Licht, you are bleeding. It has been 12 hours since the incident."
Licht screamed, "Shut the hell up! And keep checking for Alysa. Hospital, the wreckage—every inch of this goddamn capital, if you must!"
Mia barely managed to walk to him and said, "Admiral, please calm down. You are also bleeding."
Licht said, "You watch yourself and let me do my job. If anything happened to Alysa, I can never look Liebe in the eye ever again. And what the hell is wrong with M? Why the hell isn't she awake yet? Do whatever you need to wake her up. Shock her, hit her, do whatever. She is the only one who saw Alysa last."
Mia said, "Sir, please take some rest, please. Miss M was shot 5 times in the chest and had severe blood loss."
Licht said, "Liebe is still out there checking every inch of the capital with no magic. I'm not going to sit around here and do nothing. I'm heading out."
Mia said, "Please, sir, don't go."
Isurugi said, "Admiral, you aren't in the shape to fly."
Fate said, "Licht, in your current status, you aren't ready. Even with that shoulder—even if the bullet is removed—"
Licht said, "Shut your trap!" As he moved, took a painkiller injection, and injected it into his shoulder. Licht said, "Now I can go."
As he was walking out, he saw Iris.
Iris said, "Licht—"
Licht said, "I will get Olivia back. Don't worry." As he left the hospital.
As Liebe was screaming at everyone at the office as Leo Conquista, asking for reports, people just said, "We are checking, sir."
Liebe screamed, "Find the missing people! If we don't, the nation is done for. They are part of the personal forces of one of the 25 Princes of Hell. If Lilith Faust finds out, we will perish!"
As everyone was scrambling, he said, "I will check the wreckage site."
As he was seeing the crater of the mall, he thought, Alysa, Elizabeth, everyone... please be safe.
