While fighting in the front lines, Faiz suddenly froze for a second. Leo said, "Faiz, are you okay?" Faiz didn't respond; he just froze and started to tear up. All he could say was, "Rita, please, please forgive me." Leo said , "Snap out of it!" and then punched Faiz with his flame fist. Faiz snapped out of it, but by then, the Deinsleif was ready to fire its second shot.
leo asked faiz, "You ready?" Faiz replied, "Yeah, just needed to get my head in the game, now wind magic wind wall." Leo shouted, "Now! Flame Spirit Magic Flame Wall!" Using the magic walls as layers, they prevented the strike from reaching the central ship. Faiz exclaimed, "We did it!" After taking on that strike in its full force, Faiz was bleeding from his forehead, and Masaki collapsed. The ship came by, and Faiz said, "not yet We have to destroy the Deinsleif and cover the ship's escape." Riruru urged, "Now, Faiz, quick! We will accelerate soon!" Faiz interrupted, "Not yet."
As he kept fighting, Leo tried to get on the ship. Faiz said, "Not yet!" Then, "Holy Relic Surging Wind Strike!" He vanished and reappeared near the Deinsleif, striking it with explosive force and destroying the weapon in a single blow. Faiz almost depleted his magic supply. He reached his hand for the accelerating ship. Leo extended his hand, and before the ship reached full speed, Faiz grabbed Leo's hand, and they reached the ship. Looking back, they chanted, "Wind x Flame Magic Blazing Autumn Winds!" Faiz created a tornado, and Leo conjured a flaming tornado to fend off the pursuers.
Entering the ship, Faiz said, "Okay, we're in the clear now." Riruru asked, "Sir, are you okay?" Faiz replied, "We're okay now. We just need to rest a bit and regenerate our mana." Riruru insisted, "But sir, you two are bleeding heavily right now. Let me heal you." She used string magic, casting "Healing String," which stitched the wounds on Faiz and Leo. Astrea asked, "What now, sir?"
