160 - Luck is dropped off where the bomb guy and Vanessa are and they fight! He’s able to do damage to Luck because the possessed Luck doesn’t know the kind of fighter he is. I loved his face when he blew him up! It was a neat drawing. It ends with Asta’s arrival in the distance because Luck isn’t down for the count!

159 - Asta’s desire to save the Father brought him another sword!! The one Licht had earlier... it cured the father and also broke the reincarnation spell on the magic knight!

158 - They race after to the capital but they cross paths with the floating base and see Hage being attacked. Nozel for once isn’t a pretentious ass and tells Asta and Yuno they can defend their town but hurry and rejoin them as soon as possible. He doesn’t allow Noelle to go instead acknowledging her as a royal!! I know I was shocked!

157 - Licht says the black grimmore and the swords are no longer his. They regroup... those not possessed due The the spell regroup!

155 - Yuno says there is another soul inside them and himself. The elves say this is one stubborn human soul. Licht also isn’t reacting. Yuno and Asta attack together! (It is pretty funny when Asta points out all the elf differences and Yuno says who cares? The sprite wants attention and is really demanding, while Mimosa would really like to be helped down.)

154 - Asta is pulled into a portal by one of survivors but Xerx and Mereoleona get away. It takes him to Mimosa pinned up on a cross. Yuno is one of the possessed... but he’s holding back. When Asta arrives he defends Mimosa. And states his goal of becoming wizard king! About to be hit by mega magic, Yuno suddenly defends him because he’s going to be wizard king!

153 - I love Asta... of course he doesn’t do what Xerx proposes ... she doesn’t get to decide to sacrifice herself! He wants to jump in and use Xerx’s double back spell! All 4 have to attack at the same time ... and they do after Mereoleona does her last impressive stand! Will it work?!

152 - Mereoleona cuts off her and the elves she’s battling from Xerx and Asta. Xerx explains they are escaping and not returning because she gave them this way to get out and tell someone what’s happening. She holds her own even though it’s evident they will wear her down.

151 - Xerx and Asta are up against other knights used in the reincarnation spell. When Asta’s sword doesn’t break the possession they realize they’re in trouble and want to retreat rather than kill their comrades. Mereoleona won’t have that! She’s fully planning on killing them all (Xerx and Asta can retreat!)
