Mash Burnedead and the Accelerated Battle Mud Magic user Wirth invites Lance to join Magia Lupus, claiming it will make Lance stronger than Adler could. Lance refuses, believing Wirth is weak for relying on others for strength. Wirth summons mud demon Mudero. Lance, having figured out the damage absorbing properties of Wirth’s mud, manipulates gravity to pull Mudero apart. Wirth is defeated but Lance sympathises with him and respects the effort he put into training. Abyss cuts Mash several times and reveals a relic is draining Lemon’s magic; in 30 minutes she will become magicless permanently. Abyss impales Mash, but by tensing his stomach muscles he prevents the sword being pulled out and head-butts Abyss, breaking his mask, revealing his Evil-Eye which is despised by magic society for its magic nullifying power. Abyss casts a spell that makes Mash move slower. Mash smashes the ground, limiting the places Abyss can move, and defeats him with a German Suplex. Abyss despises his Evil-Eye which his parents tried to kill him for, and now all he has is his loyalty to Abel. Mash offers to be his friend since to him the Evil-eye isn’t scary so there is no possibility he would ever hate him. Abyss is certain even Mash would come to hate him one day but warns Mash he hasn’t seen Abel’s true power yet. Mash decides to beat up Abel anyway then get cream puffs with Abyss.
