How was this chapter?
Natsuki Subaru, Beatrice, and Tiga arrive at the McMahon estate in the noble district of the Royal Capital, only to discover thirteen guards and servants slaughtered. In the main office, they find the corpse of Miklotov McMahon—a respected member of the Council of Sages—draped in a severed flag of Lugunica. Standing over him is Crusch Karsten, who wears an eyepatch over her left eye. When Tiga directly accuses her of the massacre, Crusch calmly confesses, claiming Miklotov and his household were traitors to the Kingdom. Tiga immediately engages Crusch in a fierce duel, pitting his unorthodox swordplay against her disciplined style. To prevent Subaru from escaping to get help from other knights, Crusch uses her wind magic to collapse the exit. Though Subaru desperately begs her to lower her sword, Crusch unleashes a massive, multi-directional gale that ravages the room. Subaru shields Beatrice but is violently thrown against the ceiling and walls, losing consciousness and dying from his injuries. Through "Return by Death," Subaru loops back to the moment of Crusch's confession. Determined to survive and prevent Crusch's hands from being stained with his blood, Subaru quickly coordinates with Beatrice. As Tiga and Crusch resume their clash, Subaru and Beatrice deploy "E.M.T.," their original anti-magic barrier that neutralizes local mana. This successfully blocks Crusch from channeling her signature wind magic. With Crusch's magic disabled, Beatrice threatens her with her own Minya magic, while Tiga and Subaru press her to surrender. Unfazed by the disadvantage, Crusch questions if Subaru is afraid of her sanity. She then removes her eyepatch, revealing that her left eye has transformed into a golden, reptilian slit with glowing, capillary-like lines under the skin—a "Dragon's Eye."
