Lucius Zogratis and the Paladins
Julius's body passes to Lucius Zogratis, the fourth sibling. With Soul Magic he turns ordinary people into Paladins — and the first is Sister Lily.
The enemy no longer comes from another kingdom: he sits on the Wizard King's throne. Lucius wants a world without conflict, and to get it he erases the differences between people. The Magic Parliament declares Asta a danger to the kingdom, the Devil Banishers hunt him, and the Black Bulls find themselves defending someone their own country has disowned.
