The sixth episode of Wistoria: Wand and Sword starts with a flashback from Sion’s point of view. From the outset, the boy saw Will as a pitiful and bothersome presence. This led him to desire Will as a subordinate, believing that it would alleviate his own misery.

Despite this, Will never made direct eye contact with Sion and consistently disregarded him. He also never viewed others as a nuisance. Consequently, Sion harbored animosity towards the boy.

Continuing from there, in episode 6 of Wistoria: Wand and Sword, the story shifts back to the present where Sion Ulster is seen displaying an array of powerful fire spells in an attempt to trap Will. Sion scolds Will for his failure to evade the spells and for not approaching the fight with determination.

Additionally, despite the boy’s reluctance to engage in the attack, he is determined to keep his promise to Donnan and the others. However, as Sion continues to launch destructive spells, Will is left with no other option but to join the fight. Meanwhile, Mike Maius questions if there has been a rift within Will’s team and seeks the opinion of Edward Serfence, who is acting as the commentator.

The dark mage firmly believes that regardless of the reason, conflict within a team is never acceptable as it undermines the purpose of the Crown Attack. Nonetheless, he delivers this message with a menacingly cheerful expression.

After that, the focus of Wistoria: Wand and Sword episode 6 shifts to Colette as she battles against Julius Reinberg’s ice spells.

Episode 6 of Wistoria: Wand and Sword revealed that Julius has the ability to create clones made of ice. Wignall was impressed by the Ice Mage’s technique, as he had not anticipated him to possess such a powerful spell from the Magia Vander.

Elsewhere, the Elf faction’s Filvis and Lefiya, who were originally from Danmachi and added as an easter egg for fans by Fujino Omori, watch their fellow Elves’ performance. Filvis, an introvert, expresses her desire to return home as she struggles to handle the lively atmosphere.

Sion’s friends on the opposite side are questioning the behavior of the fire mage. They are skeptical of his actions at the Grand Magic Festival, finding it difficult to believe that he would go to such extremes. In episode 6 of Wistoria: Wand and Sword, the focus shifts back to the Enchanted Forest, where Sion Ulster recites a mantra to summon his fiery Guardian, Halcon Gardinas.

Despite Will Serfort’s surprise, the flame bird charges at him. He swiftly cuts off its wings and takes advantage of the situation to move closer to Sion. However, the Guardian quickly regenerates its wings using its high-speed restoration abilities.

Consequently, Will believes he is left with no choice but to annihilate the core. The flame bird unleashes its destructive magic towards Will in an attempt to surprise him. However, the boy absorbs the attack using his gauntlet, leaving Sion in a state of disbelief.

Wistoria’s sixth episode of Wand and Sword uncovers the main role of a Guardian as a defensive shield to provide mages with time. Despite this, Sion employs it for both offensive and defensive maneuvers in various directions, astonishing Edward with his progress. Even the recruits from the fire faction are taken aback by the boy’s exceptional mastery of magic.
