Pre-fight
As Rila crashes into the room that Liar, Asta, Zora, and Mereoleona are in, Rila notices Liar and hugs him. Asta asks why Rill so friendly with Liar, which Rila asks who Asta is while introducing himself as Rila. Both Zora and Mereoleona thinks about how Rill is similar to Langris and how their comrade has changed into a different person. As Asta tells Rila that they are friends, which Rila replies that he would never be friends with a human.

Fight
Rila attack the three with his spell, which Asta, Mereoleona, and Zora counter the attack. Zora tells Asta that their comrade is being manipulated by magic, which Liar says that Asta's magic won't work on them. Zora uses a spell in order to paralysis both Rila and Liar, which Liar says that this spell will have barely any effect on them. As Rila says that even though they can't see, they can still sense magic power. Zora replies that they are facing someone without magic power, which Asta charges while being covered in Anti-magic. Asta then manages to easily destroy Rila's spell. Asta also attacks Rila but Rila escapes with only being shallowly wounded. Asta thinks about how the magic should be undone, but is shocked when Rill is not released from the spell. Liar explains how the magic works, and how these bodies are now their objects.

Post-fight
Suddenly three more elves arrive and tells Rila to stop screwing around. Zora notices the magic power the three has and tells Asta and Mereoleona that they have to retreat. As Asta says that they have to save their comrades, Zora replies that they don't have a way to save them right now and that they will have to retreat. Liar says that they won't get away and prepares to fire a spell along with Rila. Mereoleona breaks down a wall and tosses Asta and Zora through it, outside of the base. As Liar and Rila fire the spells, Mereoleona easily counters the spells. As Liar comments about how Mereoleona sacrifices herself to save her comrade, but Mereoleona replies that if they were here then they would be in the way. Mereoleona then says that she is going to kill each of them.
