Magical Explorer, Vol. 10 (light novel)

CALAMITY IN THE LAND OF ELVES!Kousuke and the others are invited to the Tréfle Empire, where Ludie’s family provides them with hospitality fit for royalty. Unfortunately, the fun times come to an end when the Church of the Malevolent Lord stages a surprise attack and makes off with an imperial treasure it can use for nefarious ends. And in a clear divergence from the events of the original game, Kousuke and company are later forced into a battle with Hortensia, a heroine from the upper echelons of the Church. With everything going off the rails, Kousuke realizes that the Church is in the process of reviving an ancient necromancer who once brought the empire to the brink of ruin―and Ludie is the only one capable of stopping this ancient villain. Can he guide her to awakening her bloodline’s legendary powers before it’s too late?
