Rize looks at John.
"Oh, shot I forgot you want a go," said Rize.
"I will let it slide if you promise me a favor," said John.
"Really? Okay, thanks," said Rize.
He summons the demon sword which was fully restored. Anna and Alexis go to him.
"So, what's our plan? We can't just go in reckless again," said Anna.
"Damn, I never thought our game plan here," said Rize.
"Maybe we can try something new," said Alexis.
"Like what?" asked Anna.
"I guess we have no choice but to find a way to surpass master rank," said Rize.
"What you dumb. Master rank is the highest rank you can get for an Esper," said Judas. "You are asking the impossible."
"Yeah, but if we try hard enough it may be possible. We just got to break through that barrier," said Rize.
"I guess we can give it a shot," said Anna.
"We just have to concentrate on our bond as a team," said Rize. "We have to fight as one."
The demon sword starts to glow white. Drazel seemed to be watching this. Anna and Alexis looked at this and each other. Anna and Alexis place their right hands on the demon sword. But Drazel sees something as he can see Rize was not just concentrating his energy. He also sensed that the Yggdrasil was giving him some of its energy. He wonders why this is. They get flashed by a light that came from the demo sword and when the light disappeared. They see that Rize is holding a new sword in his hands. It was a great sword with a green blade with devil wings as a guard. This sword was a fusion of the demon sword, Excalibur and Ragnarok.
"No way," said Judas.
"We did it," said Rize.
"I have to say I am impressed. I never knew I will be watching your Espers surpass master rank," said Drazel. "You're differently a prodigy."
"I think we call this Yggdrasil Rank," said Rize.
Rize raises the sword as he tries to use a sword blast. Judas saw this and teleported to the others. Drazel uses his magic sword spell to try to block it. Rize swings the sword, and an enormous white blast covers the room and Drazel gets caught in it. Everyone was blown back from it. Nightingale used a protection spell to protect them from the blast.
When it cleared they saw the whole room was destroyed from the blast and they were standing in the ruins of the throne room and were outside. Rize sees the damage he has caused by the blast. Drazel was on the ground, and he got up. His clothes were ripped up and he saw his magic sword destroyed.
"Damn, that was crazy," said Drazel. "This boy can give Lord Patrick a run for his money."
"I hope you are ready for another one," said Rize.
He takes one step forward but all of a sudden, he starts coughing blood.
"What?" questioned Rize.
He fell to one knee as he felt his body was feeling strained.
"You should release Lord Patrick's power it seems you are not ready for long periods with it on," said Drazel.
"What?" questioned Rize.
The marks on his face disappeared and he got back up, but he was struggling to get up.
"You're a tough kid. But you need to learn your limits," said Drazel.
"No, I not giving up yet," said Rize.
Nightingale tries to help him as he places her left hand on his sword to try to stop him.
"Rize…," said Drazel.
Before he could lecture him, he saw Nightingale grab her throat as if she was choking on something.
"Miss Nightingale?" questioned Rize with worry.
She started to cough but then stopped and felt something strange happen to her throat.
"Terra are you okay?" asked Drazel.
She stood back up and looked at them.
"I'm fine?" questioned Nightingale as she was confused.
They all looked shocked as they knew she could not speak before.
"Your voice? But how?" questioned Judas.
"Could it be that sword? It's not normal," thought Drazel.
"Well, at least you save money on whiteboard markers now," said Judas.
"It a miracle, I thought I could never speak again," said Nightingale.
"Shall we continue?" asked Rize.
"Your insane," said Drazel. "You can barely stand now."
"I have been in worst," said Rize. "Had my left arm cut off and survived the Demon Realm for a month like that."
"Then let's give them a real challenge," said Nightingale.
"Huh? Wait you agree with this?" questioned Drazel.
"Rize is not giving up till he gets his fight. So, let's fight him," said Nightingale.
"Wait, you are going to fight?" asked Rize.
"Why not? My Esper User is here," said Nightingale.
"Alright, just know the kid gloves are off now, Rize," said Drazel.
