(Eye of the midnight Sun base)
"So that's what happened..."
After listening to Rhya's story about the elf slaughter 500 hundred years ago, Grim had finally recovered enough to fight once again.
'So the humans wiped them out and this Patry dude somehow managed to reincarnate into the body of captain Vangence and went around using the name of the Elf leader.'
"Dude that's too bad... But how strong was this leader of yours?"
"Huh?" Still conscious despite losing a lot of blood, Rhya was caught off guard by this question.
"I said how strong was this Licht dude that you guys all seem to whore yourself to?" Grim repeated getting up and stretching his limbs.
'How strong was Licht? What kind of absurd question is that? No, what's more absurd is the fact that he doesn't care that our goal is to reincarnate ourselves into the body of this kingdom's humans. Its almost like the only thing on his mind is fighting against strong opponents... If he gets to the upper floors before Patry's finished gathering the stones, he might damage Licht's new body... I've kept him down here as long as possible by stretching out the events of what happened 500 hundred years ago. I need to keep him here just a little bit longer...'
"Licht... I'm not even in the same league as him. At the height of his power, even that wizard king of yours wouldn't hold a candle to him."
"Seriously?!"
"Yeah." He nodded.
"Woah... Now I really want to fight him!"
"Fight him *laughs* you might just get your wish."
"What do you mea-
*BOOM!!*
!!!
Feeling an outrageous amount of mana errupt from the upper area, Grim's head snapped upwards as he felt a tingle run down his spine.
'This mana... It's doing something to my blood!'
While Grim was busy trying to understand why his blood was reacting to this new wave of mana, a grin surfaced on the defeated Rhya's face as he said-
"We've won!"

(Clover Kingdom)
"Mommy... Why is there another bright light?"
"I-I don't know honey."
---
(Black Bulls Base)
After Henry, Gauche, Gray and Gordon had defeated the attacking Eye of the midnight sun members and had sent them running, they stood watching the intense white light stemming from the distance.
"First swords made of light dropping from the sky and now this? What the hell is going on in this kingdom?" Gauche muttered.

(Patry location)
As he place the last magic stone into the reincarnation artifact, Patry turned back to look at Valtos, Sally and Rhades with pure disgust emenating from his eyes.
And after hearing his words, Rhades and the others were stunned as their leader looked at them with an expression they had never seen before.
"M-Master Licht-
"You humans need to disappear, but before you do, repent by becoming the foundation of our resurrection."

(Eye of the midnight sun base Upper area)
"There it is!" Klaus yelled as he, Yuno, Mimosa and another royal knight ran up a long stairway.
"The core! Its just up ahead!"
Feeling the mana waves out from that room, Mimosa's breath was almost taken away.
'What an unbelieveable amount of mana...'
"Guys be careful!" She yelled.
Taking note of what she just said, the quartet ran into the room filled with mana and were awestruck by what they saw.
"I-Is that a person?!"
In what should have been the base's core, floating in the middle of a completely empyy room was an unconscious white haired person with delicate features and strange markings on their face.
"What the hell-
Before anyone could say anything, a flash of blinding white light burst out of the floating person's body.
"URGH!!" Mimosa and the others shielded their eyes.
"W-What's happening!"
In the centre of that bright light, the white haired person in question opened his eyes slowly. And along with the opening of his eyes came a rush of terrifying mana.
'This-THIS ISN'T POWER THAT BELONGS TO A HUMAN!'
While she had felt terrifying amounts of mana from someone like Grim, the quality of his mana compared to this person was completely different. Whereas Grim's mana held an outrageous quantity, the mana coming from this person... Its quantity could be compared to Grim's, but its quality was on a whole other level! Just standing in his presence made it feel like they were moments away from being pierced.
'This person is dangerous!'
"We-We NEED TO RETREAT!!" Mimosa yelled. Unfortunately this shout fell on deaf ears as in front of her Yuno's body was glowing with a golden radiance
"Y-Yuno?"
---
All around the clover kingdom, commoners and nobles were being hit by this golden light and had their bodies shrouded in a golden aura.
Even members of the black bulls like Gauche and Luck were no exception.
---
(Eye of the midnight sun base lower area)
"Huh? Why are you glowing?" Grim tilted his head as he saw a golden aura settle around the once dying Rhya's body who had somehow managed to teleport further away.
"The same thing that's happening to yours."
"What?" Looking down at himself, Grim noticed that just like Rhya his body was surrounded by a golden aura.
"What the hell?"
"To think you were one of us." Rhya said in surprise ignoring Grim's confusion. "I don't know which member is coming to replace you, but you were a real pain in the ass, hopefully your counterpart will be easier to get along with. Goodbye Grim."
"Goodbye? I'm not going anywhere fuckface!"
"Unfortunately for you that is not case. But don't worry you won't be the only human disappearing."

(Grim's mindscape King Realm)
Standing in the infinite expanse known as Grim's mindscape, a confused elf soul looked around in confusion.
"Where am I? This isn't the body I was going towards?"
"Ah you made it." A voice sounded out within the darkness.
"Who said that!" Snapping around quickly, the confused elf soul saw a distorted figure sitting on a throne looking at him with a playful expression.
"Hello." The figure waved.
Facing such a weird looking figure, the soul frowned and tried to probe him.
"Who are you?" It asked cautiously.
"You don't need to worry about that." King smiled standing to his feet.
"I'd say I was sorry for drawing your soul to this place instead of your intended target, but that would be a lie." Stepping closer to the soul, King's presence seemed to grow as a terrifying shadow projection seemed to emerge from the darkness and stand over him.
"You see, I was in need of a catalyst and your soul just so happens to fit the bill."
"Catalyst?"
"Yep, I need the power of your soul to awaken my avatar's true potential... Sadly that means I'll have to wipe away everything except that small power dwelling within yourself. No hard feelings though, you're just unlucky."
As King finally arrived in front of him, the pressure he was emitting was to much for the soul to handle as it found itself rooted in place.
'W-What's going on!'
"Shh shh. Don't struggle, it will only make what's about to happen hurt more. That being said, this form just won't do."
Watching King transform into his true state, the elf's eyes shuddered as his figure and the shadow behind him started fusing into one large shadowy figure whose size easily loomed over him.
*Gulp*
"Be proud little elf, although your return to the mortal realm was short, it will have world shaking effects for the events ahead. Take solace in that as you disappear forever."
"No... No... NOOOOOOO!!"
Finally into the real start of the elf arc!!
And kinda feel bad for the elf soul. Imagine returning to life just to die moments later lol. Worse part is that King will completely erase him. So no after life for him like the rest of the elves at the end of the arc... Hopefully he wasn't married or had any kids because that would mean Grim unintentionally destroyed another family.
