Title: Crimson Spell Vol. 5 by Ayano Yamane 

Genre: Fantasy, Romance, LGBT 

Rating: 4.5 Stars 

Volume 5 continues in the space time realm where Rimris and Vald are currently trapped although they have managed to escape from Astador for now. Throughout the past couple of volumes we have seen Vald changing slowly, now whenever he changes to his demon form we see these white wings emerge before the demon that seem almost angelic which might hint at something hidden within the demon’s nature that we haven’t seen yet or something with Vald himself. 

Rimris has sealed himself and Vald in a separate part of the space time realm and we learn he was the lover of Vald’s father in order to receive visions of the future and in order to get his powers back he needs Vald to help him being of the same bloodline. However, sex without feelings is something that Vald isn’t able to do despite it being to help a friend and ally of his Kingdom as his heart belongs to Havi. 

In a moment of rage, Vald is able to destroy the outer barrier allowing Havi to enter that space to save him but Rimris simply walks out leaving both Havi and Vald behind in the space time realm. Havi immediately begins looking for the barrier but the entire space is infested with demons and they can’t keep fighting through them. Havi notices the barrier in on Vald and begins breaking it but this is a painful process that Havi has to guide Vald through in order to return them. When they do return they realise that something is controlling people of the Imperial Fortress but only at night and they have to get to the bottom of it.
