Summary
As Magna Swing and Vanessa Enoteca are shocked by Lufulu's increase of power, Lufulu asks them to tell him how they plan to defeat him. Magna tells Lufulu that he will just pummel Lufulu until Luck Voltia wakes up. As Magna prepares to throw a fireball, Lufulu suddenly disappears. Lufulu tells Magna that his attacks will not hit him ever again, while he bounces around the town. Magna thinks about how Lufulu is even more of a monster them before, while Vanessa thinks about how Lufulu is practically a natural disaster. Lufulu asks where Magna is looking and strikes Magna from his blind spot. As Lufulu expresses how it the end for Magna, he suddenly notices that he has not struck yet. Lufulu then goes to strike Magna, but misses this time. Lufulu recognizes that Vanessa's magic is able to manipulate fate but it will not be able to attack him. Lufulu also reasons that it must take a lot of mana to use that magic and wonder whose mana will run out first.

After a little bit, Lufulu manages to defeat both Magna and Vanessa. As Lufulu holds Magna up, Lufulu comments about how their defeat was sooner then expected. As Lufulu proclaims that the Clover Kingdom will be destroyed as retribution for the elves, both Magna and Vanessa tell Lufulu to shut up. Magna tells Lufulu that he does not care about Lufulu and that his opponent is Luck, while Vanessa tells Lufulu to give Luck back since he is like her little brother. As Lufulu comments about how humans have bonds even through they betray each other, Lufulu also expresses that their pathetic bonds will not be able to break their Reincarnation Magic since the human soul has already been eradicated. After noticing that Lufulu is crying, Magna reasons that Luck is still alive and tries to provoke Luck up by commenting how he has gotten stronger. Vanessa also tries to wake Luck up by expressing that she will not let him be taken away. Lufulu tells them to shut up and prepares to kill Magna. Suddenly Asta shows up and saves Magna. Vanessa figures out the Rouge used the last of its mana to bring Asta here. As Lufulu asks who Asta is, Asta prepares to fight Lufulu while also proclaiming that they are Luck's friends.
