Even then, Melea doesn't fall, scoffing at "magic of this level." He launches a counterattack, but Olivia instantly blocks it with her sword. Alec fires another spell, but Melea refuses to yield. However, in that instant, an arrow fired from a distance pierces Melea. "You got me... To think that Limit Break, Magic Eater, and even Olivia were all decoys, and you were the main event," Melea says, addressing the person holding the bow: Clasia.

The internet went wild over this cleverly hidden true attack, with comments like, "I never expected Clasia...!", "Seriously?!", and "It was so beautiful I actually shouted out loud. Peak fiction."
