After Makarov's final Fairy Law decimates the army of Alvarez, Larcade finally enters the battlefield, appearing on top of a hill right above Yukino, Sorano, Frosch and Lector, who are passing by. According to his own words, Larcade takes on the responsibility of paying the enemy back for what Makarov has done or otherwise he won't be able to "face his father" as collateral. His appearance causes Lector to point out how "god-like" the Shield of Spriggan looks, while Yukino recognizes him as the enemy she faced in the north. Even though Sorano is determined to show him that facing two of them at the same time is a mistake, Larcade makes his intention to take on every enemy soldier clear by activating his power; light covers the entire battlefield and many of those present feel the effects of his Magic: intense pleasure. However, as this ability affects even his allies, Larcade is ceased to stop by Zeref, focusing only on the enemy in front of him, Yukino. She is then enveloped by tendrils made of light, forced to experience the Magic herself. That is when Kagura appears and, as she cuts through the tentacles, she wonders how it is possible for a follower of light could side with the evil that is of the Black Wizard.

Much to her surprise, Larcade's response lets everyone know that he is the son of the Black Wizard himself rather than just his ally. The Shield of Spriggan reveals his full name and Natsu's relation to him and Zeref, with Yukino and Lector trying to make sense of the same surnames. Just as he raises his hands into a position for his Magic, Larcade expresses his jealousy towards Natsu, making note that his father shows more affection to the Fire Dragon Slayer than his own son, which he simply doesn't think is plausible.
With a motion of his hands, Larcade then releases numerous blades of light towards his enemy. At great speed, Kagura deflects several of them, however, as the light continues to rain down, Kagura simply evades the rest of the attack, glaring at the Spriggan 12 still sitting on top of a hill. Readying her own stance, Kagura expresses her desire for Larcade to come down and fight her directly and with a swing of her Archenemy, she cuts through the entire mountain, impressing the Sabertooth Exceed that are spectating the fight. However, before the mountain falls, Larcade puts his hands together in prayer-like motion and tendrils of light show up from underground, trapping Kagura. Larcade safely lands near his enemy just as the hill crumbles behind him, announcing that he will let Kagura experience Pleasure as well. As Kagura succumbs to the effects of the Magic, its user exclaims that no human can go against their natural instincts.
Much to his surprise, however, Kagura finds a way to negate the effects of Pleasure by biting her own tongue, slicing through the tendrils afterwards to make them disappear. She gives the Spriggan 12 an angry look and while he's still thinking about what just happened, Larcade finds his opponent right in front of him; at great speed, Kagura dashes towards Larcade and, at an ideal position for Kagura's certain victory as Yukino notes, before putting a derogatory tone on his Magic as she goes for an attack. Her Archenemy strikes its target, however, as the dust surrounding the two clears up, Kagura witnesses her sword being stopped by Larcade's bare hand. She backs away and Larcade adds himself to the ranks of Alvarez Empire's strongest fighters, considering himself, Irene and August vastly superior to the Spriggan 12 that have already been defeated. Larcade then comments on Kagura's expression as of one that has already lost any hope for victory. In spite of that, Kagura desperately attacks once more, however, the results are the same: Kagura's Archenemy is effortlessly stopped by Larcade's bare hand, who then delivers a decisive strike to his opponent as the left side of Kagura's abdomen is brutally cut open.

Larcade reassures her that the pain will soon change to that of pleasure, just as Kagura falls down, heavily bleeding from the injured part of her body. Contradictory to Kagura's statement, Larcade refers to his ability as "love", promising a peaceful death to his enemy.
