Hagane: You'll pay for that, you bastard! GATE OPEN!!
Hagane immediately materializes Eckesachs, pushing past Hinako and rushing straight for the black cocoons.
Hagane: I'll save both of you right away! Take this!!
He swings his enormous axe with all of the strength he can muster.
...However.
Hagane: Ooowwaaaahhhhhh?!!
An intense sense of discomfort of a degree that Hagane has never felt before hits him hard.
Hinako: Big brother Hagane?!
Jin: Do not touch him, Takamine!
Hagane: Gkuhhhhhaaaaaahhhhhh!!
He almost loses consciousness in the blink of an eye.
The darkness cocoon that Eckesachs has made contact with is sucking his life force straight out of his body at a tremendous pace, as if he were dripping water onto a dry sponge.
Jin: What are you doing Todoroki, hurry up and get away from there this instant!
Hagane: I-I've been trying to, but...
Hagane: Guhhkkkk... I-I can't, it's sucked up too much of my strength...!
Jin: Tch, pathetic fool... In that case, hurry up and 'fly away' from there!!
Hagane: DEYAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH?!!
The moment Jin shouts the words of command, Gjallarhorn turns them into the King's decree and blows Hagane's body backwards and away from the darkness cocoon.
Toy Box: Kekekekekekeh! That's the Darkness for you! If I recall from one of the researchers, he called it a 'clump of despair'!
Toy Box: All it takes is just a little touch! If a human being stays in contact for too long, their life force will be sucked completely away in no time!!
Alicia: ......
Hinako: No... Sanada-san... Sanada-san!!
Jin: Calm down, Takamine! It hasn't been confirmed whether they're dead yet!
Toy Box: Nope, it's certain! The combination of me and Alicia is the strongest there is!
Toy Box: Right, Alicia?!
Alicia: That's right, Toy Box... But we still have to defeat these remaining stragglers... you and I, together!
Hinako: Alicia-chan...
Toy Box: You remember that's Arizuka Jin there right? Going by what we've heard before, he's going to be a troublesome guy to take care of...
Alicia: It will be alright. If his ability allows him to make his words into reality, than all we have to do is close his mouth...
Toy Box: Okay, got it! Well then, I'll go ahead and close that carefree and loose mouth of his!
Jin: Someone sure seems motivated... Stay focused, Takamine!
Hinako: Y-Yes... Gate Open!
At Hinako's side floats the bird cage that she had summoned, Sweet Home.
Jin: Get up, Todoroki!
Hagane: Gehhh... I-I'm alright somehow!
After Hagane finally makes his way back to his feet, he stands beside Jin and gets ready to attack the stuffed doll and its master.
---Free Finish: Levaintein---
One of Jin's skills, Levaintein is created by using his ability to manipulate flame into the shape of a sword.
---Free Finish: My World---
Hagane's super advanced skill, 'My World' is a special type of magical barrier that lets him invalidate all 'concepts' that he cannot understand.
---Free Finish: Aegis Maiden---
One of Hinako's primary abilities, Aegis Maiden is a shield that can rebuff any threat.
As long as her mind recognizes it as a threat, she can nullify any physical or magical ability used against it.
However, it has as drawback as it is weak against mental attacks and conceptual magic, so caution must be exercised against opponents who are skilled with them.
Alicia: Pyxis!
A variety of stuffed dolls dressed in costumes springs from Toy Box until they become a veritable small army.
Jin: Here they come, Takamine! Don't be discouraged!
Hinako: B-But, Sanada-san...
Jin tries to get through to Hinako, but she can't concentrate on the battle in front of her because she is distracted by Sanada's situation.
Hagane: It'll be alright, little one! OOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!
He eliminates a large number of stuffed dolls with one swing of Eckesachs.
Hagane: Heh, what the hell! They may have the numbers, but they don't have the power to back it up!
Jin: Isn't the sheer number the problem though? If they all decided to attack at once...
Jin: Tch, such impudence... All of you can just 'burn to ashes'!!
Jin's words unleash a vast number of small fireballs that crash into and burn all of the dolls that were approaching them.
But although that wave of dolls has turned into charred bits of carbon, their momentum is not stopped as Toy Box continues to summon more and more of them.
Hagane: Gaaahhhh! Even though they're pretty easy to defeat, these cute stuffed dolls aren't that bad!!
Toy Box: Kekekeh! You don't have a lot of sense, do you?
Toy Box: However, kekekeke! Sorry about that~! I told you that the source of my power was despair, didn't I?
The more desperate you humans get, the faster your end will come!
Hagane: Tch... I don't get what you're saying at all! I don't care what the source of your power is!
Alicia: It's true. Toy Box's power comes from the 'darkness' inside people's hearts...
Hagane: Ahh?! What's why I just said I can't understand something like that...
Hagane: OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!! Small attacks like that aren't going to cut it! If you're a man, than come at me with the best you've got!!
With a tremendous roar, Hagane breaks into a fierce rush towards Alicia.
Hagane: DUUYAAAAHHHHH!!
He swings Eckesachs repeatedly, causing several explosions and disintegrating the vast amount of dolls that move to block his path.
Hagane: Even with dolls like these, did you really think that you could stop me?! Ahhhh?!
Scattering dolls to and fro, he eventually makes it all the way to Alicia.
Hagane: I may not get what you're saying, but I can help Ms. Amamiya and old man Sanada by destroying that, right?
Hagane: Then it goes without saying, time to kick some ass!!
Toy Box: ......
Hagane swings Eckesachs. The giant axe head glances harmlessly off of Alicia's neck, and crushes Toy Box beneath its massive frame.
Hagane: CHIYAAHHH!!
With one pull backward, he tears the doll in half.
...However.
Hagane: ......Ehh?!
Toy Box: Kekekekeh! You can destroy me as much as you like, but it won't get you any closer to defeating me!
Toy Box's split halves come together and repair itself, looking as if nothing had happened to it after just a few seconds.
Hagane: W-What the hell? What the hell just happened?!
Toy Box: Kekekeh! I said I was Darkness, didn't I? This shell is Darkness given form! You cannot cut shadows with a blade!
Hagane: Ahhh?! I don't get what you're saying! Say it in words that I can understand!
After hearing words beyond his ability to comprehend, the magical energy inside of Hagane is released.
Hagane: All this talk about darkness and shadows, I can't make sense of anything when you keep spouting a mess of jumbled words...
Hagane: I know this though!! If you're going to explain something to me, do it in three syllables or less!!!
...This is his World.
Todoroki Hagane's will enforces the ultimate 'Selfishness' into his own personal World.
For one like him who lacks the ability to comprehend difficult words or create deep thoughts,
his power has manifested itself in the rare ability to nullify any sort of concept that is beyond his understanding.
If he cannot understand how it works, then not even burning magma, or an acid strong enough to melt metal can burn his body.
This applies to the powers of Magi as well.
Any event or ability he cannot understand is unconsciously nullified when used against him.
Hagane: DORYAAAAHHHHHHHHH!! ONE MORE TIME, FOR GOOD MEASURE!!
The thing that he is unable to understand at this time is the enemy's ability to regenerate its body by using the power of darkness...
Enveloped in his own World, he pushes away all reason and once again swings the massive axe blade down onto Toy Box's body!
Hagane: Wh...at?!
...However.
Just as before, Toy Box's body regains its former shape after being cleanly split in two.
Toy Box: Kekekekeh! Did you forget the main principle that applies here?
Hagane: P-Principle?
Alicia: The abilities of you Magi cannot directly affect us Holy Knights...
Alicia: That principle also applies to our miracle weapons.
Hagane: ...??? W-Wait a minute, so... the powers of our magical weapons don't work on the Holy Knights...?
Alicia: Although I felt the flow of magical energy within you change slightly, in the end it's meaningless to us as long as you are a Magi.
Hagane: DAAAHHHH! Stop saying things that I can't understand! We're in Japan, so speak Japanese damnit!!
Toy Box: No matter what you try to do to us, nothing is going to work!
Hinako: HIYAAAAHHHHHH!
Hagane: ...What?!
Turning his head in the direction of the scream that just occurred, he sees Hinako's small frame covered by a large number of dolls.
Toy Box: Kekekeh! While you were lost in your tiny brain, I went ahead and grabbed hold of the present you left for me!
While Hagane was trying to make sense of what Alicia was telling him, a number of dolls had snuck behind him and attacked Hinako.
Hagane: T-That's foul play, you bastard!
Jin: No matter how you think of it, it's your own fault! It's pointless to keep attacking, so get back here!
Occupied as he is with the dolls that are attacking him, Jin cannot help Hinako and he calls for Hagane to fall back.
Hinako: Kuu... A-Aegis Maiden...!
After being caught by a myriad of dolls, Hinako tries to repel them by invoking her barrier.
Toy Box: Whoa there, I don't think so! Take this!
A small wave of darkness flows out from Toy Box's body and sticks fast to Hinako's barrier.
Hinako: ...?! W-What is this...
The small wave of darkness siphons her magical energy directly from her barrier, gradually eroding the wall of light by spreading across it.
Jin: Release your barrier, Takamine! Otherwise it will swallow you!
Hinako: I-I can't... It won't let me!
The encroaching darkness has already grown so much that it's taken away her ability to voluntarily cancel her barrier.
Hagane: Close your eyes, little one! OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!
Jin: Flames, 'burn away entirely' the darkness encroaching upon Takamine...!
Hinako: ......!!
The massive strikes and burning fireballs explode in front of Hinako's eyes.
But rather than dissipating the darkness, it seems as if the encroaching shadow is growing even larger.
Absorbing all of the heat and magical energy in their attacks, the darkness has already grown large enough to devour Hinako's petite frame.
Hinako: Kuu... Nnuuu...!
Toy Box: Hey hey, there's no need to struggle, small one. Just give up your magical weapon and I'll let you go, okay?
Hinako: I won't... Sweet Home is the proof of the life I've lived up until now...
Hinako: It is a burden that I have to carry for the rest of my life, because it represents the weight of my sins...!
Alicia: ......?
Hinako: Also, I believe... No matter what kind of situation I get into, Sanada-san will definitely come to save me...!
Toy Box: Kekekeh, that's not going to happen! That man has already been swallowed up by my Darkness!
Toy Box: Even if he did come to help, there's no attack that you Magi can unleash that can reach us!
Toy Box's shrill laughter echoes through the empty amusement park, as if trying to break Hinako's determined spirit.
---Free Finish: Arcadia Jinx---
Jin's ability Arcadia Jinx allows him to turn his words into edicts, which then enforce themselves upon reality.
Although it is unmatched as a form of concept magic, it requires a continuous use of magical energy so it is something that should not be used for an extended period of time.
---Free Finish: Graviton Press---
Hagane's 'Graviton Press' manipulates gravity to more adversely affect objects caught within its area, thereby making it possible to create a false space of supergravity.
Toy Box: Now, let's go ahead and take care of the small one first!
Toy Box: Once we remove her magical weapon, then we can easily take care of the other fools!
Toy Box is crowing with victory after capturing Hinako, who was key to their collective defense.
Alicia: Don't worry, Hinako-chan... I have no intention of taking your life...
Alicia: You can just lay here quietly until I've finished my mission... Of course, I'll be taking your magical weapon as well...
Hinako: Ahhh! Nngh...!
After having a large amount of her energy drained, her barrier is on the brink of total collapse.
The darkness gradually spreads across Hinako's body, attacking her mind and bringing her closer to the point where she won't be able to maintain her bird cage.
Jin: ...Heheh.
Toy Box: ...Ah?
Alicia suddenly looks up when she hears a hint of laughter escape Jin's lips.
Jin: Heh, heheheh... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Alicia: W-What's so funny...?
Jin: Oh, forgive me... It's just that your carelessness is so absurd its hilarious.
Alicia: Eh...?
Toy Box: Kekeh! You really are a sore loser aren't you, little boy?!
Jin: Sore loser? Now that's a joke. There's no way we can lose to fools like you who fight by themselves.
Jin: Yes. Because you are indeed alone.
Toy Box: W-What the hell... Actually, we've already gone and captured three of your friends by oursel-
Jin: Heheheh... That's pretty auspicious of you to think so. But the truth of the matter is that you have caught no one.
Toy Box: ...! What do you mean by that, bastard?!
Alicia: ...?! You don't mean...!
Jin: Did you notice it at last? Then I recommend that you hurry.
Jin: ...Because while you've been focused on that girl, 'those two will have woken up'...
Alicia: ......!!
Alicia realizes the meaning in Jin's words, and she quickly turns to look at the black cocoons containing Sanada and Ayane.
At that moment... Several lines of light run across the surface of the cocoons whose darkness should not reflect anything.
Hinako: Ah...
The appearance of their two magical weapons that Jin's words show reflect what should be a false reality.
Or, perhaps such words of prophecy were so great that they could only be spoken from the King's own lips...
???: ...M'lady!
???: Oh dear, to confine me in such a tight space... You do realize that I am a girl, don't you?
Hinako: ...Sanada-san!!
The truth is uncertain... But the end result is that they made it in time.
Sanada and Ayane manage to tear through their cages of darkness by their own hands and escape back into the light before all of their magical energy was siphoned from them.
Toy Box: T-That's impossible?! How could any human escape from the darkness within me...
Ayane: I can give you an answer... But before then, could you kindly give back the girl that you are holding?
Alicia: ...Eh?
Sanada: ......
Like a fierce gale, Sanada blasts away the dolls keeping hold of Hinako with his cards.
With the dolls no longer supporting her frail body in mid-air, she starts to fall back toward the ground.
Hinako: O-Oooohhhhhh?!
Jin: Watch out!
Jin quickly breaks into a run and catches Hinako before she hits the ground.
Hinako: T-Thank you... Jin-kun.
Perhaps it's because he was the last person she expected to do such a thing, but Hinako can only stare at Jin in surprise as she thanks him.
Jin: *Sighs* Although they already saved you, it would have been annoying if you were to be injured over something so trivial.
Hinako: No, that's not it...
Jin: ......?
Hinako: You were the one that saved them so that they could do the same for me, didn't you Jin-kun? In that case...
Jin: ...Who knows. I only thought that they were too busy so that left me to catch you... That's all I was thinking.
Hinako: I see... So Sanada-san and the others believed in you to catch me.
Hinako: Then I'll say it again... Thank you, Jin-kun.
Jin: ......Hmph.
Saying 'You're acting crazy', Jin turns away from Hinako as if she bored him.
Sanada: ......!
By breaking the darkness that was thought to be invincible, their minds are perfectly clear and aware of the situation.
Knowing that he can't miss this enormous opportunity, Sanada mercilessly releases Mistelteinn.
Toy Box: Nuuaaahhhh?!
The windblown cards fly accurately and slice Toy Box's head from its shoulders and sends both it and its body flying out of Alicia's reach.
Alicia: Toy Box!!
Ayane: No, you're coming to me!
Alicia: ......?!
Alicia's body is completely entangled in a series of crimson threads.
Alicia: Kyaaaaaaaa?!
Ayane pulls Alicia's body over to her, and embraces her close to her chest.
Alicia: ......Eh?
Ayane: Alright, just stay there and be quiet.
Alicia, who was prepared to be cut to pieces the moment she was entangled in those threads, can only look up at the woman's face with her eyes wide in surprise.
Toy Box: A-Alicia!
Toy Box lets out a miserable cry as his head continues to be rolled across the ground by Sanada's cards.
Toy Box: You cowards! Release Alicia this instant!
Ayane: Oh my. Is that something you can say after the way you treated us earlier?
Ayane shakes her head with a heavy sigh as Sanada walks up to the entangled girl's form.
Sanada: ......
Alicia: W-What is it...?
And, he just stares at Alicia's face.
Ayane: ...Is something wrong?
Sanada: There's no problem. If we give her more vitality, her life won't be in danger anymore.
Alicia: W-What are you talking about...?
Ayane: We were going to talk to you about it, but you attacked us before we could bring it up...
She smiles warmly at the small girl.
Ayane: We came to save you.
Alicia: ......Eh?
Hagane: Hey hey, what are you talking about? The Seventh Code are our enemies, aren't they? Why are we saving the enemy...
Jin: ...Now I see. Everything finally lines up.
Jin: Sanada Keisuke... Now I see the reason why you shook off your Mistress' leash and went running off by yourself.
Sanada: ......
Sanada does not reply, but his strong back seems to affirm Jin's suspicions.
Hagane: DAAAHHHH, I don't get it! Someone hurry up and explain!
Jin: Take a moment and think. For a weapon with a powerful enough field to absorb someone's life force just by touching them, do you really think that it would have no effect on its owner?
Alicia: ......
...Indeed. Toy Box is a forbidden weapon that takes away the life force of those who come in touch with its darkness.
For Alicia who has spent so much time with it, it became obvious that Toy Box was gradually consuming her own life force - at least to those who were sensitive to such matters.
Sanada quickly noticed the dangerous situation on their first meeting several days ago...
Most likely because he could always feel how close Hinako was to death's door after taking care of her for so many years during her sickness...
Alicia: ...Please tell me. How did you two manage to escape from the darkness that Toy Box trapped you in...?
Ayane: That's easy. With this.
Alicia: ...A card...? (She actually says 'Trump', but she's referring to the card. Not the POTUS)
What Ayane takes from the cleavage of her dress and holds up is undoubtedly one of the cards that makes up Sanada's magical weapon, Mistelteinn.
Ayane: That man's power is similar to yours, but slightly different... Rather than just take away, he can also give life force to others.
Just a few moments before both he and Ayane were swallowed by the darkness that Toy Box had unleashed on them earlier,
Sanada managed to accumulate a fair amount of magical energy into two of his cards and passed one to Ayane.
While they let their magical energy from their bodies be sucked away, they hid the cards next to their hearts and let the energy within slowly seep back into them, waiting for an opportunity to turn things around.
All so that they could separate Alicia from the darkness that was slowly consuming her own life force...
They even suffered through such a dangerous situation in order to wait for the moment when both Alicia and Toy Box's attention was preoccupied elsewhere.
Hagane: Then, that thread we found earlier was...?
Ayane: Of course, I left it in order to guide you to us. Although I didn't know who or what would show up to provide the aid we needed.
Ayane: To be honest, I knew that the chances of you finding it were low.
...I'm glad that I left as many signs of them as I could as we walked from place to place.
Hagane: Heh, heheheh, I see... So you definitely left it for us to find and come and help.
Jin: Idiot. She just said that she didn't care who happened to find and follow it. At least try to use your brain a little.
Hinako: Ahh...
Sanada's cards swirl around Hinako's body that had just been released from the darkness, filling her body with life force and magical energy.
He uses the life force that he took back from Toy Box to return Hinako to full strength.
Sanada: That's the situation, M'lady... I apologize for not helping you sooner.
Hinako: No, it's alright. Since it was you Sanada-san, I knew that you would definitely come to save me.
Sanada: No, I would not go that far... Not only did I disobey your orders, but then I did such a shameless thing by using you as bait...
Hinako: That's not true. You were trying to save Alicia-chan, weren't you Sanada-san?
Hinako: That makes me really happy. You didn't use your ability to hurt someone Sanada-san, you tried your best in order to save them.
Sanada: M'lady...
Hagane: Ahhemm... Not bad, you're impressive, old man Sanada! Even though I don't really get how it works, could I ask you to use that convenient ability of yours on us too?
Sanada: ......Hm?
Hagane: We also had our energy sucked from that black mass earlier.
Hagane: You can recover it for us easily, right? I for one would be grateful if you could use it to restore me.
Sanada: You're right, forgive me for not noticing that was the case.
Hagane: Nuackk!?
Sanada: Make good use of it.
Sanada says those words coldly as he throws two cards at Hagane and Jin's foreheads before returning to care for Hinako.
Hagane: Hey! What's with the harsh treatment?!
Jin: Let it go. That man is a true idiot for his Lady.
Jin pulls Hagane back with a sigh as their vitality is replenished from the cards adhering to their foreheads.
Toy Box: Damnit... Damnit... How did something like this happen...
Toy Box: Give her back...
GIVE ALICIA BACK TO ME!!!
Sanada: ...Nngh?!
Alicia: Toy Box...?
Having been silent for a while, a pitch-black aura overflows from Toy Box's separated head and body.
All of the world's despair had been confined inside of it... and now it seems all of that overwhelming 'darkness' has been unleashed.
Toy Box: I knew. I knew... As long as I was together with her, I would keep sapping more and more of Alicia's energy...
Toy Box: Alicia never knew that I was constantly devouring her life force...
Hinako: ......
Toy Box: That researcher said that I was a failure that should never have been made and threw me away... They all looked at me like garbage that should be thrown away.
Toy Box: But, Alicia was the only one who held her hand out to me! Alicia is the only friend that I have!!
Toy Box: That's why you guys are going to give Alicia back to me!
She's the only important person in the world to me!!
Along with its cries, the energy of despair flows out of the doll's body like a waterfall.
They are the closest thing that could pass for tears for an inanimate object given life and sentience.
Hagane: This occultic bastard... How could you let yourself slowly kill the one you say is most important to you?!
Jin: Exactly. It's no longer just a curse...
It's an incarnation of hatred trapped in its own despair.
Hagane looks at the doll with a pitiful and contemptuous gaze as Jin spits out equally bitter words.
Sanada: I am sympathetic for the manner in which you were born... but I will have you return the life force you've taken from her.
With an expressionless face, Sanada brings Mistelteinn to bear once again.
His magical weapon has the rare and valuable ability to drain the life force and magical energy of anything it touches and then transfer it to others...
This man who has survived the criminal underworld as a Magi and lives in the shadows... If he can siphon all of the life force that Toy Box has stolen, than he can return it to Alicia.
For the newly born Toy Box, the man named Sanada Keisuke is the one opponent - Magi or otherwise - that it should never fight alone.
Hinako: Sanada-san, you're not really going to...
kill Toy Box, are you?
Sanada: ...There is no substitute for human life.
After looking at Hinako with an expression she cannot read, he coldly turns away from her.
Toy Box: Alicia... ALICIAAAA!!
Alicia: ......
Ayane: ...Close your eyes. You don't have to look if you don't wish to see it.
Ayane calmly says so as she holds Alicia's constrained form close to her.
Alicia: ...I knew.
Ayane: ...Eh?
Just before Ayane buries Alicia's face in her chest, a quiet murmur escapes the small girl's lips.
Toy Box: Alicia...?
Alicia: I knew, Toy Box... I've known for a while now.
Alicia: I knew that my body wasn't going to get better because you were always by my side, Toy Box...
Toy Box: Aaa... Aliciaaaaa......
A sound of deep sorrow mixes in with Toy Box's voice.
Alicia: ...But, while I was struggling with a disease back at Voluspa's headquarters, I was always lonely...
...You were the first one who ever called me a friend, Toy Box.
Hinako: ...Alicia-chan?
Ayane: ...! Wait, you didn't...?!
Alicia: To kill a friend so that I can live...
...is not something that I want.
Alicia: If Toy Box is the one all alone, this time I'll be the one who protects you!
Hinako: ALICIA-CHAN, DON'T!!!
Sanada: ......?! Tch!!
Noticing the change in Alicia's demeanor, Sanada quickly launches his cards at Toy Box.
...However.
Sanada: ...?!
Something suddenly slashes through the air, destroying the cards in mid-flight.
To everyone's eyes, the attack appears to have come from Toy Box, but that is not the case.
That sharp blow was released from the small girl held against Ayane's chest.
Ayane: ......!!
Hinako: Big sister Ayane!!
Seeing Ayane fall backward from where she was standing, Hinako hurries up to her in a panic.
Ayane: I'm alright, I wasn't hurt... But...
All of the threads that Ayane had used to capture Alicia have been sliced cleanly through.
Hagane: W-What the hell...
Hagane lets out a stunned whisper.
Liberated from her shackles, Alicia dances in mid-air and holds something softly in both of her hands...
She is holding a scythe that is as large as she is tall.
Toy Box: Alicia...? Aliciaaaaaaaa......
Alicia: It hurts, doesn't it Toy Box? Then you can use my life force....
Alicia: I'll accept everything.
You, your hunger, your despair and everything else...
Alicia speaks calmly as she hugs Toy Box to herself.
At the same time, her magical energy pours out of her and into Toy Box's small body.
Toy Box: A...ALICIAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
...Thus, the girl accepts the darkness' despair.
Hinako: Alicia-chan... Why...?
Hinako can only look up with tears in her eyes at Toy Box's new massive form and matching aura.
Alicia: I'm sorry, Hinako-chan... But I'm the only one that Toy Box has.
With pupils that have fallen to darkness, Alicia says so with an empty smile.
Alicia: Before I defeat you all, I will tell you the truth...
Of Toy Box's real name...
Hagane: R-Real name...?
Alicia: Toy Box is just a temporary name that I gave to him after I learned that those who made him intended to destroy him...
Alicia: His real name is Pandora Box...
An object that humanity must never lay their hands upon...
the forbidden Pandora's Box!
Pandora Box: OOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
The jet-black aura surrounding the massive doll swells until it pierces the skies above it...
What exists there is an artificial lifeform of darkness that has grown hundreds of times its original size from its own despair...
Pandora Box.
Sanada: This is...
Seeing the gigantic doll hundreds of meters tall causes even Sanada's eyes to open wide in surprise behind his sunglasses.
Jin: What a monster... I know that Magi like us are capable of entering some ridiculous situations, but this is just too absurd!
Hagane: Now that's interesting! I wonder which one of us would win if we had a match right here?!
Ayane: I'd like to say good luck at least... But the truth is doing so would be far too reckless. Let's retreat for now.
Hinako: Alicia-chan... I'll definitely save you somehow!
The enormous doll begins to go on a mad rampage as the energy of despair continues to overflow from inside of it.
The five of them quickly retreat away from the insane doll before it can spot them.
