Although his rise to King of Highland resulted in some defection from formerly loyal officers, Luca's power was now absolute. As King, he sacrificed the people of Muse City to give power to the [[Beast Rune]] with the ultimate goal of unleashing it on the City-State and eventually the world. In some ways, he tried to bond with Jowy over this but was tactfully rebuffed. | Although his rise to King of Highland resulted in some defection from formerly loyal officers, Luca's power was now absolute.

Surprised and ambushed, Luca Blight was surrounded by groups of archers and soldier after soldier of the New State Army's strongest members. Even with all his men killed, Luca continued to fight on, falling back as arrows penetrated his armour. Eventually, Luca made his way to a tree where he noticed a wooden amulet. Opening it, a group of fireflies escaped, a signal for a further onslaught of arrows from the New State Army.
