While the Royal Knights were infiltrating the floating dungeon base of the Eye of the Midnight Sun, something strange was happening in the Clover Kingdom. The devil's skull back in Asta's home of Hage started to shine, and a number of people throughout the kingdom also started to shine. This was due to the power of the stolen magic stones and Licht activating a reincarnation spell. As Captain Yami was trying to find out more about this phenomenon, Marx and Owen appear in front of him. They then call themselves elves and attack Yami with an incredible amount of power that they'd never shown before.

The Clover Kingdom is thrown into chaos as people calling themselves "elves" attack. These effects were visible at the Crimson Lion Kings' base, as well. Vice Captain Randall's personality had completely changed and he attacked his comrades. Because of the sheer difference in power, the other members of the Crimson Lion Kings start to give up, but Leopold refuses to do so. As the younger brother of the captains Fuegoleon and Mereoleona, Leopold refuses to lose!
