Looks like the Tower is finally finished.

The hope of this world.

There must be an error in the doomsday clock.

It's like a stem that's about to snap.

The Celestial Stairway is sealed.

This will buy us some time.

Just a small reprieve, before the Celestial Host destroys this world.

In this short time, I'll make many "wands."

And you shall forge a single "sword."

Are you sure about this, Mercedes?

Don't be repetitive.

Stop asking the same question.

It was you who proposed this deal in the first place.

Let's make a contract, Finn.

You must cultivate a wielder of the fifth element.

The one who finally becomes the "key" to harmonize the world.

Yes, it's a Geas. I swear to you:

To protect this world,

wand and sword will come together.

Well then…

There have been many setbacks, but we've finally made it here.

Will this tale unfold as the opera we've longed for?

Or a cruel tragedy?

Or perhaps an absurd comedy?

Show us the final outcome of the pact I made with the Great Mage Queen.

Believers, going back, back

No matter what future comes, unleash it now

Overcome and move forward Fight myself

My heart's voice stays shut away

A cry about to overflow

Lost in the noise, drowning inside

But I won't break, I will never lose myself

So rise again, I find myself

I was searching for a magic that's mine alone

Countless despair

Shattered ideals

Take out with a single swing of courage

Believers, going back, back

No matter how many tens of thousands of hardships

I won't be scared because you're there

I'm going back, back

No matter what future comes, unleash it now

Overcome and move forward Fight myself

Isn't that…

Could it be…

What is going on?

What's this?

That light is striking down every monster in its path.

Halcon!

Sion!

Run! Sion!

I won't…

I won't run away!

If he were here, he'd never run!

The coward is more courageous than anyone else!

I won't lose to him!

That's not true, Sion.

I can't help but envy, to be jealous,

and yet filled with admiration.

I was always trying to catch up to all you wands.

I'm just a pathetic loser.

So, from now on…

I'll become a mageblade!

Is that you, Will?

Flunkee? You…

The Devander has reached the Central Flos!

H-Headmistress! We must evacuate!

Simmer and boil! Keridos Aquulum!

I managed to prevent it from entering the Academy.

But what's going on exactly?

Headmistress, you need to get out of here…

Wait!

That is…

It's on.

What's that sound?

It's coming from the center of the city.

Is he fighting that thing?

Will is…

Over there.

Hey! Wignall!

Not you too, Lihanna!

Damn it, you all!

I'm almost out of magic power here!

Mama, hurry!

These sounds…

Serfort, is that you?

Are you really fighting…?

Against that monster?!

That's…

Will!

That boy…

He's fighting head-to-head.

Even though he lost against it once.

Ed!

Serah! You're…

Ouch!

Alive, it seems.

As usual, you have tough luck.

Shut up!

More importantly, what happened? And who is that boy?

Ed!

Renaisse! Jorua! How's the fight?

I can't tell. They're moving too fast.

Still, he can fight that thing!

We have to help him.

Stop, Emma!

Palm!

Magic doesn't work on that enemy.

On the contrary, if our attacks hit him, we'll just be getting in his way.

Palm is right.

Our magic is useless.

Besides, he's the no-talent, right?

After all those times we mocked and made fun of him.

How could we do for him at this point?

But he's the one who saved our lives!

And he's still there, fighting for us.

Maybe we're just making ourselves feel better here.

Even so…

Is there something we could do for him?

Gooo!

Win this! Flunkee!

You can do it!

Will!

Do your best!

Don't lose, Will!

Hold your ground! Push forward!

Since you've come this far, do something about that thing!

You can do it! - Go!

Don't lose! - Will!

Julius…

Sion…

You can do it.

You can do it, Will!

Go!

Get 'em!

Your attacks work!

Please!

Yeah! Beat that thing!

Push forward!

Hit it back!

Ed!

How could I let someone who can't use magic handle this?

You haven't changed at all, huh?

But that's not the case now, is it?

It's time to trust your students, and not just protect them.

Crush that bastard!

Don't back down!

Big bro!

Win… Please win! - You can do it!

Rigarden…

This world of magic is cheering for a no-talent who can't use magic?

Is this actually happening?

I always felt miserable.

I've been suffering all this time.

I've been shunned.

I've been made fun of.

There were even times I hated this world.

And yet somewhere inside my heart,

I always hoped that they would accept me!

Go!

Don't lose!

Will! - You can do it!

Even if these voices are only cheering me this time…

This world is giving me the courage to fight!

And for those people!

I want to protect them!

Lady Elfaria?

Will's sword is…!

The weapon couldn't endure his power.

This is bad.

Without his weapon, the odds will…

Lady Elfaria!

Wait, Elfaria.

We are not allowed to leave this ro…

I'm not trying to leave.

I'm just going to watch from the window.

Hey.

Oh, my.

But…

My hand slipped.

Fully charged.

Albis Wis.

Isn't that like what he did when we fought the Grand Duke?

It's Will's ability to absorb others' magic into his sword.

But…!

Wait, magic doesn't work on that thing.

Will!

No matter how strong that power is…

I can feel it.

This power…

Can never…

Be stopped!

No way!

It worked?! It ignored the Mage Slayer's ability?

Wis.

What the hell is that?!

This makes no sense!

What kind of logic is that?!

How is he able to cut through the Sleime?!

That damn brat! What the heck is he?!

Seriously?

He's awesome!

It's not magic.

That power is…!

The fifth element.

The Primeval Key that started the world as depicted in the Lore.

So you have finally made it, Finn?

What you swore to the Mage Queen, to bring wand and sword together.

He's too strong.

That merciless, overwhelming power…

It's just like…

Albis Vina.

It's almost as if Will and that girl are fighting side-by-side.

Headless!

Gates?!

There's more coming out?!

How is he supposed to handle those?!

It doesn't matter.

If it's us right now…

Overload.

Full Burst!

El Glace Frosse!

El Seven!

Fruzel Cardeneia! - Fruzel Cardeneia.

Let's end this.

Will!

He did it!

Kiki! Will won!

Hell yeah!

Senior Will…

You never disappoint!

Our part-timer is amazing.

Will…

Wonderful.

It's beyond my expectations.

The last remaining hope of ours.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Mercedes!

It's time to honor our contract!

Don't sweat it. It only took five hundred years.

Just a small delay.

The long prologue ends here.

Just you wait, false sky!

The curtain is about to rise!

Let's begin, shall we?

The story of wand and sword! Your Wistoria!

In a place where the light can't reach

All alone, I was searching for something

The strength to grip a wand

Was something I never had at all

A voice echoes from afar

An unreachable dream

As long as I remain myself, it won't end

I'll keep walking forward

Beyond the sorrow, on the other side

Trembling, I wove my way forward with a sword

Even within the shadows, I believe in hope

Because I'll change the future from this place

For this wounded version of me

You told me I was fine just as I am

These trembling hands of mine

Dreamed that they could save someone

Every time tears spill over

My vows only grow stronger

Even if I can't reach it

I'll keep stretching out my hand until it's filled

The radiance of the chosen wand

Can't remain just something I admire

I'll change the version of myself that once stood frozen in place

And light the path toward tomorrow

Even if it's a faint, sealed-off hope

With you, I can grasp it

You are the one who lights my way

Beyond the sorrow, on the other side

The light that exists, the strength I've seized

Once I get through the night,

a brand new morning will surely come to this place

No matter how many times, I'll rise again
