Elvin and Sires step outside with Rony to explore the Mercury World.
As they walk, Elvin looks around in amazement.
The world is vast…
endless and glowing…
and unbelievably beautiful.
"Rony… this place is amazing," Elvin says.
Rony nods.
"Yes… it is beautiful."
Then his tone turns serious.
"But more than beautiful… it is just as terrifying."
Elvin frowns.
"…How?"
Rony looks ahead.
"You'll understand… in a few days."
They continue walking.
Soon, they notice something strange.
People stand silently around them…
Dark marks lie beneath their eyes.
And on the back of their heads… numbers are written.
Sires carefully observes everything.
"Rony… what are those marks? And those numbers?" he asks.
Rony freezes.
(They don't know…
Everyone here except us… are zombies.
If I tell them the truth… I'll become one too…)
He quickly controls himself.
"I… don't know either."
Sires stares at him… but remains silent.
They move forward.
Meanwhile—
The King of Magician speaks to Garlin.
"Garlin… contact Rolex Oyster."
Garlin nods.
"What should I tell him?"
The King replies,
"He can fight Elvin in the Mercury World… but not yet."
Garlin asks,
"But my lord… isn't Corno enough to bring destruction here?"
The King smiles faintly.
"Yes… Corno will make Elvin's life a nightmare."
He pauses… then says slowly,
"But for now… I want him to feel happiness."
Garlin looks confused.
The King's voice turns darker—
"Because I enjoy destruction the most…
when the world is smiling."
Garlin bows and leaves.
Silence.
The King slowly removes his mask.
He stands before a mirror…
…and looks at his own face.
The truth is revealed.
He is not just the King of Magician.
He is Leo—
Elvin's uncle from the real world.
A former student of Master Roy…
once a friend of Master Dazzling Margot…
who later became their enemy—and killed them.
Leo stares at himself and says,
"I became Leo… to give him a father's love."
"And I trapped him in this dream world…
because I saw Master Roy in him…"
"…even when he was just a college student."
He smirks.
"When Jacko attacked him… he didn't die."
"He was only unconscious…"
"…and I was the one who pushed him into this world."
"So he would believe… it was all just a dream."
His eyes grow darker.
"In the real world… he trusted me."
"That's why he never realized…"
"…that the real King of Magician…"
"…was me."
Leo slowly puts his mask back on.
He walks out of the room—
and begins training Lofi.
❓Questions:
Will Elvin and Sires discover the truth that everyone in Mercury World is a zombie?
What destruction will Rolex Oyster bring next?
And now that the truth is revealed…
Is the real villain… Elvin's own Uncle Leo?
