Rize found himself outside on a hill where he saw in the distance a huge tree with a light brown trunk that looked like roots with leaves on top that changed color every second. This was the Yggdrasil the Celestial Tree of Luto. He would also see a small city around the base of the tree.
"So, that is the tree which King Drazel lives in," said Rize.
His Espers turn into their human forms.
"Whoa, it looks so pretty," said Anna.
"Just a big tree to me," said Alexis.
"You can't tell me you don't think the same?" questioned Anna.
"Looks cool then," said Alexis.
"Now, girls. Let's not fight here. Plus, I think we should get moving," said Rize.
"Alright," They both said at the same time.
They started to move, and they saw a path that would lead them into the city.
Judas and Yumi find that they have warped into the Celestial Library in the city.
"So, we appeared here now," said Judas.
"Great, I wonder if we run into any of the others," said Yumi.
"Well, I did not expect you to be a reader, sir Judas," said A Voice.
Judas places his right hand over his right and Yumi transforms into her weapon form, and he waits for someone to appear. Judas looks up and sees a Celestial Knight above he is a captain like he was as he wore a helmet that looks like an owl. He was floating in the air in a sitting pose reading a book.
"Ah, Sir Merlin. I figure we would meet you here," said Judas.
"Why would a traitor return to the Celestial Realm?" asked The Owl Knight Known as Merlin.
"Is that what Chaos has said to you? It doesn't matter. So, you can let me leave here or we have to do this the hard way," said Judas.
Merlin claps his hands together and all the bookshelves around them disappear which makes the library a huge empty room.
"You chose to fight?" questioned Judas.
"As a Knight of King Drazel, I cannot allow a traitor to run loose in the Celestial Realm," said Merlin.
"Then I will just have to beat you," said Judas.
Merlin puts his hands up and starts to cast a spell to form a giant fireball above. He tosses it at Judas who uses his teleport magic to dodge it. Judas appears above Merlin and tries to plunge on him but Merlin teleports to dodge his attack and Judas ends up stabbing the ground.
"Damn, copycat," said Judas.
"I learned more magic than you ever will in your limited lifetime," said Merlin.
"Yeah, well who cares how many you know I am still going to kick your ass," said Judas.
Judas saw some of Ultima's petals on the ground when he attacked, and they started to float around him.
"You think using you're Esper's ability will help you," said Merlin.
"Hey, man. You got to stick with the tricks that work," said Judas.
Judas starts using the petals to surround him in lasers which kind of forcefield to protect him from Merlin's spells.
"You are a bigger fool to believe that would work against my superior magic," said Merlin.
"Try me," said Judas with a cocky smile.
Merlin takes his right hand and snaps his fingers, and a barrage of different magic spells attack him which looks like it could have finished Judas off. Merlin would stop to see if Judas was still alive. He sees Judas' laser shield is still up.
"Impossible?" questioned Merlin.
"Don't underestimate me and Yumi's power," said Judas.
"I shall destroy it this time," said Merlin.
He creates a huge fireball that forms above him, launches it at Judas, and once it is gone, Judas is gone.
"Your arrogances was your downfall," said Merlin.
But before he knew it, Judas was right behind him. He slammed the side of Ultima on his head, knocking him down and out.
"Your downfall was falling for that trick Merlin," said Judas.
He and Yumi decided to leave the Celestial Library before Merlin woke up and headed outside into the city of the Celestial Knight known as Ygg.
Judas and Yumi were walking through the alleys as they knew where the commander was.
"Hopefully, we do not encounter any other nut case," said Judas.
"You think the commander is alright?" asked Yumi.
"That guy is almost as tough as Gramps, so of course he is going to be fine," said Judas.
