It was a bitter memory for Lux who was betrayed by Fugil....

Post Revolution
Lux again gets the last part of his manipulated memories. His memory displayed Fugil and Lux had conversation after the war had ended. By that time, Fugil kept giving vague answers for his questions even though Fugil tried to tell what had happened before in the history he revised. The only thing that was comprehensible that if he had been alive, Count Atismata would have completely exterminated Arcadia family to regain conviction from people and Fugil somehow helped the pioneers from Arcadia bloodline. By that time, he refused to admit Fugil's method to kill imperial family and the seat of "King of Salvation" who would rule Arcadia Empire. Even though the result was dissapointing for him and Fugil, Fugil told him that Fugil would be waiting for him to be a great man.

Singlen Shelbrit, Former Candidate of King
Singlen was fighting a group of murderers that was ordered by King of Blackend Kingdom. The efforts he had fruited before did not make the king happy.

Singlen could barely breath because the blood vomitted out. He died together with those murderers. Fugil and Sacred Eclipse that had been waiting assassination to happen visited his corpse. Sacred Eclipse then injected Elixir and returned him by death. "This country needs you. You have power to save them" Fugil then said so to make him the King of Salvation. However, Singlen was not interested in saving people. Singlen was not someone kindhearted as Arshalia was.

Confronting The Hero of Beginning (third part)
Duar! Ouroboros's main body explodes from inside. Fugil realizes Singlen is going to fail mankind's salvation. Before Fugil makes movement, Singlen already casts Howling Roar and Fugil is blown away fliying. Fugil then rebalances his stance, then charging with attack but Singlen averts it using Senjin Ruten. Then, Leviathan cuts Bahamut's wing. Fugil has a hard time to defeat him. Then, the most powerful Shin Senjin is unleashed to Fugil whom cannot dodge but Fugil is on the time to flee to other dimension. Arshalia then slashes Singlen but her attack is diverted. The guard of Ouroboros is cleared. Singlen uses Shin Senjin Gouka──Mizuchi and severs Ouroboros's arm. A sound of the arm that fell is just like a thunder. Fugil cancel his Zero One knowing Ouroboros is lost and applies Reload on Fire to melt the iced part of Ouroboros. Although it is a nonsense to ask why Singlen did that, Fugil still does. Singlen simply answers out of topic he had destroyed the function of Ouroboros before he came here. Ouroboros's limbs and iced joints again are exploded. Because the temprature is increased from Reload on Fire, the gas pressure and volume is increased and causes gas explotion.. Fugil asks again his motive. This time Fugil gets answered that nobody wanted to play within his plan. He just wants to obey to nobody. That explains Singlen's thought that Sacred Eclipse is needless.

Magialca commands Lolotte to carry Lux out from battlefield while the others still engages the battle. Fugil and Singlen are exchanging attack incredibly. Although Fugil is in predicament that his choice is limited, Fugil can outwit Singlen even using a great sword of Bahamut. When Singlen performs his Shin Senjin Midzuki ── Amikiri, Fugil is not showing agitation even though his predicament worsens. Fugil cannot avoid Singlen's ambush and the barrier barely protects Fugil. Fugil must fly higher to escape Singlen. Under the fog and rain that is produced via his divine raiment manipulation, Shin Senjin Midzuki ── Amikiri, Fugil can sense barely where Singlen is by predicting from rounds trajectory that Singlen fires. Fugil gets closer and activates End Action in the right time as counter attacks against Singlen. Aeril is being astonished whereas Singlen is forming defense pattern Shin Senjin Oudo ── Tsuchigumo. Fugil is pushed back. Singlen skates to pursue Fugil. Fugil then applies Reload on Fire to the environment and erases the fog. It makes Singlen gives opening in his defense because his reaction getting slugished and gets a severe cut, vomitting blood and Leviathan taking damage. Singlen initially thought Fugil would attack directly because the Reload on Fire was applied to Bahamut. Singlen prepared Shin Senjin Gouka ── Mizuchi and also launched the attack to him. However, Fugil was not as fast as Singlen expected but Singlen was not preparing defense instead he was launching attack like Fugil's prediction. Then Fugil activates Over Limit to quickly end the battle. Fugil has finished the process of Over Limit while Singlen is still being sent fliying. The crimson light that was surging from the armor turned into flames and the sword gouged the enemy like the fang of a violent dragon. Dust is whipped up and covered visibility along with the destruction of the armor that is caused by the offense and defense. The consecutive attacks possesses a might that even his own armor that is attacking cannot not endure it. Fugil unleashes fierce attacks, even so, every single one of his movements is dispatched with terrifying accuracy and skill. Singlen is also fighting back with vigor.

Fugil brushes off the thrust of his opponent’s Blade. After parrying the momentum his sword returns and ran through under the armpit of Leviathan’s armor. It is blocked with the Divine Raiment Leaning. He dispersed the impact with a wall of water and the moment the attack stopped, he uses his left foot as an axis to rotate and return a sideway sweep to Bahamut’s back. Fugil swings up his great sword in a big movement to place the sword’s blade on his back as a shield to blocked the attack. At the same time he swings his blade that is enveloped in high density energy with the aim of destroying the enemy’s weapon. Singlen makes ice trail along the point of contact and derailes Fugil’s hand movement. In that instant the great sword that Fugil swings down split the ground and shakes the foothold. The tip of his sword instantly flips and slashes up, attacking Singlen’s face. Singlen diverts that with water current and barely dodges, but his forehead is slightly grazed and blood flows out. Without even any time to comprehend that, Fugil’s aim was his eye, the next attack is advancing on him. The wheels of Leviathan’s armored legs rotates in high speed and it retreats backward. Fugil goes in pursuit, in response blades of water that trails along the Blade slash from outside the range. Although Fugil’s armor was cut up, he does not mind and just steps forward. Fugil then unleashes Recoil Burst. He does not care even though this also harms himself in order not to let go the chance to finish off Singlen. The others that were defeated cannot believe Fugil can unleash power far than human can. Fugil feels agony from unleashing this but he does not mind since his body is regenerating the wounds. Fugil mutters his regret and Arshalia's dream over 1000 years ago to the empty air. Everyone else there does not hear what he is talking about. Then, he lifts Ouroboros's sword device.

【──When oneself receives an attack that is unleashed by another person, they won’t receive an attack from another different person.】Divine Raiment to prevent damage from many people all at once has been generated. Then, the third Bahamut is created. Magialca tells everyone to reatreat because Fugil will fight seriously. She intends to join Singlen to fight Fugil. On the other hands, Fugil activates Over Limit again with Reload on Fire.

Fugil bids farewell with an admiration feeling in his tone as a former vessel of "king of salvation" that he honestly admitted. He then captures Aeril and regroup with Sacred Eclipse who has choosen the next vessel. After Aeril is tied in Garden, Fugil begins revising the world through Endless. Two weeks later, Endless is still working, resulting deceased Singlen, injured Magialca and captured Aeril join the banquet and parade. Aeril is also falsely enrolled to Royal Officer Academy.
