Synopsis
Touma has mastered the power of King Arthur, so Calibur and Storious try to counteract this by creating a new Wonder Ride Book! It requires the power of Jaaku Dragon, multiple Alter Ride Books, and the Wonder Ride Books of the other swordsmen to complete! Calibur approaches Touma with a special Megid created by Storious, while Blades and Espada have their Wonder Ride Books stolen after Calibur's vicious attack! While the swordsmen are in the midst of imminent danger, a man shows up wielding a new sword in his hand! Furthermore, there's a mysterious woman who suddenly appears at the Northern Base...!
Plot
Bonne lecture! My name is Tassel! My excitement cannot be contained! I tell you, Touma Kamiyama is absolutely amazing! Who would've guessed that he would master the power of Arthur! Should he still remain a novelist despite having great talent? And we haven't forgotten about the individual he met, either. Oh? I have a feeling another swordsman is about to appear...Tassel
This is intriguing... Just who is Calibur? It seems to be some huge mystery behind all this. I wonder what other secrets are still lurking!Tassel
