Kiyomaro’s eyes widen. Zatch is communicating. Somehow. The chapter ends on a double-page spread: Zatch, standing on a cliff in the pocket dimension, looking up at a colossal, cracked bell floating in a void sky. Behind him, the shadows of all 100 Mamodo children—trapped, asleep, frozen in crystal.

“I found something,” she says. “A legend in the ruins of the Faudo library. The ‘Bell of Resurrection’ isn’t just a spell. It’s a location. It’s the highest peak of the old Mamodo world—a place called Razberion . If Zatch can reach it and ring the bell, it won’t just restore his power. It will restore all lost memories across both worlds.”

“I can’t fight like this,” Zatch pants, dodging a crushing gravity wave.

Zatch closes his eyes. Instead of forcing lightning, he focuses on the feeling of protecting his friends. The phantom Brago lunges—and Zatch catches its fist. Not with electricity, but with raw will. The phantom cracks, revealing a sliver of the real Brago trapped inside, screaming silently.
