Knowing that Elegy is after him, Luka decides to stay away from Yuki to keep him out of danger. He tells Tsukumo and Toko not to tell Yuki about this.

Back at the residence. Kuroto tells Senshiro bluntly to quit this fight as vengeance will bring nothing and Cadenza’s only after him.

A change of scenery to Reiga’s domain where he refuses again to let his minions kill everyone and says it’s not time yet.

Next morning, Yuki leaves the residence undetected before dawn and continues his search for Luka.

On an anomalous highway Hotsuma and Shusei is on their way in a car.

With Yuki’s absence quickly known, everyone is on the move to search for him. A shift of scene and we see that Cadenza is nearby.

As Senshiro and Kuroto continue on their search, Senshiro asks about what Kuroto said last night. And he makes it clear that he will never leave Kuroto.

Elsewhere as Yuki enters a temple like building Cadenza spots him. He sets up a barrier and confronts Yuki. Sodom’s wolf/dog form is easily taken out but Senshiro and Kuroto quickly arrive at the scene. After a while it becomes obvious that even two vs one, Cadenza is more than a match for them two. Just to make it more obvious, Cadenza throws his jacket off and becomes serious, after a split second, Senshiro and Kuroto are on the ground, blood everywhere. When Senshiro is being strangled by Cadenza, Yuki grabs Senshiro’s sword and attacks, but he’s pushed back with ease.

Cadenza walks up to Yuki to kill him, but after some stalling from Cadenza, Senshiro and Kuroto regain some strength and rush to Yuki’s aid. In the face of inevitable death Senshiro and Kuroto hold Cadenza off as they tell Yuki to make a run for it.

As Yuki runs for the exit. He turns back to see Senshiro and Kuroto on the verge of death. Not wanting to see more pain he screams for them to stop and conjures up his ‘Hallowed Wall’ which stops Cadenza’s attacks. However because the wall requires Yuki to use massive amounts of energy he’s unable to sustain much of Cadenza’s attacks and the wall starts to crack after a few blasts of magic. But as it’s about to completely shatter, a lightning bolt strikes to interrupt Cadenza’s attacks. And who should come to Yuki’s rescue? None other than Reiga!

Now that’s an interesting plot twist to end on. Though it may not be a plot twist at all. Okay, I think only two things can happen. One, Reiga will kill Cadenza for disobeying him then leave saying something like we’ll meet in battle again another day, or two, Reiga will assist Cadenza in killing Senshiro and Kuroto and Yuki. Though I doubt he’ll need help, so I say the former is more likely, or something similar to that.

I wonder how Kuroto was able to sense this battle coming by noticing that the clouds were moving too quickly? I mean doesn’t that mean the wind’s blowing very strongly? What’s that got to do with anything? Hmmm, seems I’m picking on the smaller insignificant points a lot… then again there wasn’t much to show for story in this episode.

Again Reiga says it’s not time yet. Come on, what’s with the hold up? You’ve had long enough to recover and heal up and all that and you’ve got plenty of powerful people so just attack already. I wonder why Takashiro doesn’t just go on a full scale assault now.

This so called war doesn’t seem very big. There’s barely anyone on either side, granted they are all pretty strong I assume, but even still, a war should be fought with a couple of hundreds of people at least, neither side seem to be reaching triple digits, though maybe Reiga’s side seeing he can just call up weaker minions. Though they won’t do much.

Another thing I was rather irked at was why Sodom didn’t transform into that big dragon instead of a lousy dog/wolf that obviously isn’t going to do much. Or maybe he can’t do it without Luka there or something I’ll just assume that for now.

I quite like the Duras’ dress sense. Proper military dress theme going on, looking like real generals and all that. Maybe that’s what they were going for, yeah… probably

So anyway, another episode goes by and still not much story development going on, until the second half at least and finally some action. I’m hoping that this Reiga appearance will lead to something big. If Reiga appears and then disappears and we’re back to the calm before the storm again I won’t be very happy.
