Reborn in black clover with Demon Slaying magic

Mana melding, an Elven technique capable of hiding ones ki and mana signature by being so in tune with the world that one wouldn't be able to distinguish them unless they were standing right in front of them.

At its highest level, Licht was able to use it in combat to blend in with the world and appear wherever he wanted.

While Grim had also managed to replicate the technique to the point that he was able to mask his presence and catch even devils off guard, he still wasn't able to use it in combat like Licht. This led him to labeling Licht's version of the technique as [Combat Focused: Mana Melding] whereas his was [Passive: Mana Melding].

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!! DIE DIE DIE!!!"

*BOOM!!*

*BOOM!!*

*BOOM!!*

Unleashing blast after blast of ice and fire, the entire was covered in their magic!

*Sound of running feet*

Running as fast as he could, Grim's laughter echoed through the halls as he dodged the blasts of ice and fire with extremely flashy movements before using reinforcement magic to amp his physical abilities.

*BOOM!!*

Leaping off the ground and dodging another blast of ice/fire magic, gravity seemed to bend to his will as he begun bouncing from wall to wall.

*BOOM!!* *BOOM!!* *BOOM!!*

"Hahahahahahahaha!!"

Landing heavily on one of the walls and sitting in a crouched position, a wide grin began spreading across his lips.

[Breath of Thunder]

With yellow coloured lightning flashed through his eyes and a short exhale, he drew his sword.

[Grim Style - Thunderclap and Flash]

*ZOOOM!!*

Shooting of the wall with enough speed and force that it crumbled behind him, he cut through the air like a bolt of lightning and appeared in front of the two devils with a devilish smile hanging off his lips.

*SLASH!!*

Carried by the power of Thunder and his own momentum adding to the power of his slash, his sword swept away everything in front of him as it struck towards the necks of the devils in an attempt to score a double kill.

*GRINS*

[Devil Flame Magic] [Devil Ice Magic]

Faced with the oncoming sword, the smiles on the devils faces didn't falter for a minute as they matched Grim's energy and raised their mutated arms up.

*BOOOOOOM!!!*

The clash of magic was intense as part of the castle was completely vaporized.

"This... This shouldn't be possible."

Standing at the sidelines and nursing his injuries, Nacht watched the battle with baited breath.

The power in that collision surpassed anything the Dark Triad were capable of. Even with the power Dante was displaying now against Jack, he wouldn't be able to take such an attack head on.

'Did I... Underestimate Grim?'

*Cough* *Cough*

"Damn." A familiar voice echoed out as the ground beneath them slowly crumbled. "I didn't think I'd be forced to use [Breath of the Storm] after a single clash."

Blowing the dust away and revealing himself. Covered in his protective Warcloud Armour and wielding a black blade decorated with pulsing yellow lightning patterns, Grim stared at the two devils who continued to grin.

"That was good."

"Really good."

"We want more!"

"Give us more!"

*Grins*

"Coming right up!!"

And with that, the ground beneath them shattered and three fell into the pitch black depths.

***

Staring down into the abyss, Nacht's chest suddenly tightened up as every muscle in his body went into overdrive.

'RUN!!'

*FWOOOOOM!!!*

Moving faster than he had ever moved before, he narrowly managed to avoid the pillar of Fire, Ice, Lightning and black wind erupting out from the abyss and shooting straight towards the sky.

*Huff* *Huff* *Huff*

Falling on his ass and clenching his chest tightly, the beating of his heart echoed in his ears.

'T-They broke through the clouds.'

He gasped looking at the dispersed clouds.

Whatever that beam was... It was even stronger than their previous collision.

'This battle, I'm not qualified to get involved.'

*Clenches fists*

'But I have to make sure nothing goes wrong.'

***

-Vanica Pov-

-Moments before the first collision-

Now able to utilize 100% of her devil's power and having trained herself harshly for the past week. Vanica's power surpassed even that of Dante's whose body had been improved by Moris. Out of the entire Dark Triad, she currently stood at the top.

Even Charlotte's anti-curse flowers were no match for her as her blood magic tore everything to shreds.

With four spider-like blood legs protruding out from her back, she picked up a bloodied Charlotte and threw her to the side.

"Soooo boring." She sighed before finally smiling.

"But now I can go and meet up with Gri-

*BOOOOOM!!!*

Suddenly the ground shook as a large amounts of mana exploded out from the distance. And the power within that explosion... It made even her tremble.

"Grim." She whispered sensing the mana of the two devils.

"I have to hurry!"

Gathering her wits, she ran towards the door ready to meet up with Grim.

But before she could make it, a vine wrapped itself around her leg and stopped her from going any further.

"Huh?"

"W-We're not done yet!" Raising her bloodied face from the ground, a determind Charlotte stared her down.

"Urgh." Vanica looked at her with disgust. "Insects should shut up and be squashed obediently!"

Raising her arm up and gather a large amount of blood magic, she formed a giant blood boulder and held it over Charlotte's body.

"DIEEEE!!"

'Yami... I'm sorry.'

With no more strength left in her body, Charlotte closed her eyes ready to accept her fate.

'If there's a life after this one, I promise I'll have the courage to confess to you properly.'

But when the inevitable pain that she had prepared for never arrived, she couldn't help but crack open an eye.

"Hey Charlotte, isn't it a bit too early for us to give up?"

"Rill..."

Standing in front of her in a condition that was even worse than her, with a face covered in blood and bruises, the youngest captain of the Clover kingdom flashed her a goofy smile.

"After all, we're captains."

***

-Outside the castle-

-2 minutes after the first layer opened up-

"W-What the hell is this!!"

"We're being overrun!"

"Protect the citizens!"

While the twin devils had been drawn to Grim's location via his Demon Slaying Magic, the rest of the low and medium ranking devils who had escaped the first layer began assaulting the Spade Kingdom citizens.

"HOLD THE LINE!!"

If it weren't for the members of the Spade resistance doing what little they could to stall them, the Spade kingdom would have already been overrun.

"Fuck!" The leader of the resistance cursed as he watched his soldiers being ripped apart and turned into toys for the devils.

'Their numbers... They just keep growing.'

At the rate things were going, it was only a matter of time before-

"Oi old man." A youthful voice rung out next to his ear as he felt a strong hand pull him back.

"Leave the rest of em to us."

Walking past him, a grinning Luck, the Heart Kingdom's Spirit Guardians and the Clover Kingdom magic knights who had trained in the Heart Kingdom stepped foot onto the battlefield.
