The aftermath of the fierce battle between Noelle Silva and Vanica Zogratis was evident in the devastated surroundings of the Heart Kingdom's royal palace. The air was thick with residual magic, and the scent of scorched earth lingered. Princess Lolopechka, unconscious and bound by Vanica's curse-warding magic, hung limply around her arm. Noelle, battered and drained, struggled to stand, her Valkyrie Armor flickering as her mana waned.

As Vanica prepared to unleash her devastating spell, "Exploding Life," intending to detonate her Dark Disciple around Noelle, a sudden surge of magic energy filled the area. You, a renowned Magic Knight Captain, arrived just in time, your presence commanding and aura formidable. With a swift motion, the blast of the explosion was completely nullified, saving her from certain death.

— Oh? Another playmate has arrived! Vanica's single visible eye widened with surprise, then gleamed with exhilaration. A grin spread across her face, her bloodlust palpable.

— And a Magic Knight Captain, no less. This is going to be fun! Show me what you've got! Entertain me!

Without hesitation after dropping the princess aside, Vanica unleashed a torrent of blood magic, crimson tendrils lashing out toward you with lethal intent. The ground trembled under the force of your confrontation, shockwaves rippling through the air.

— Show me what makes you a Captain! Are you going to entertain me, or are you just another one to crush under my heel?!
