Burning Passion
Floating high above the clouds above the secret Golden Dawn base, Grim breathed in the night air as his figure bathed in the light of the moon hanging behind him.
Closing his eyes, his mind rolled back to his fight with Princia and Jester as he started image training.
Just the two of them alone were enough to push his [Breath of the Storm] to its absolute limit. If he fought them again with the same level of power, he estimated that his chances of winning were about 40% at most. This wasn't even including that weird mecha form Princia had and the fact that Jester had only showed one spell during their encounter.
But if this Conrad guy was just as strong as Asta and the others had described, he reckoned that he might actually have to pull out the other things he had earnt in [Glamour World].
Out of the three things he had learnt from fighting and slaughtering his clones inside [Glamour World], improving [Breath of the Storm] was the one that he had spent the least amount of time on.
If Conrad wasn't able to handle what came next, then fighting him at his full power was impossible. After all, his full power was the true result of his 6 months of training all rolled in one.
While busy image training and thinking deeply about this Conrad guy, his ears suddenly twitched.
Opening his eyes slowly, a glimmer of light flashed in them.
'She's finally here.'
Bursting through the clouds and moving at a speed fast enough to cause the sharp sound of the air tearing apart, a figure covered in burning hot flames shot through the sky and charged at him from below.
"GRRIIMMMMM!!!" The orange figure roared in glee before the two finally met.
*BOOM!!*
Colliding head on with the stationary Grim, an explosion of flames spread throughout the darkened sky as the corners of the flame covered person's lips began to rise as she found herself unable to push forward any further.
Raising her head up, the sight of a black boot surrounded by an orange hue pushing back against her fist filled her eyes.
'He's gotten stronger.'
"You call that a punch?" Grim's voice rung out as he looked down at the smiling Mereoleona.
"Punch?" She scoffed. "That was a love tap."
Unable to hide the appreciation in her eyes, she pulled back slightly before elevating herself so that the two stood at eye level.
"A love tap?" He smiled feeling his fighting spirit being stoked.
Surrounding his fists in balls of fire, he said-
"Maybe I should give you a love tap of my own. Though my love can be a bit heavy."
*BANG!!*
Hearing those provoking words, she slammed her fists together as a toothy grin spread across her face.
"I wouldn't have it any other way."

*BOOM!!*
*BOOM!!*
*BOOM!!*
Flying high above the clouds, the two engaged in a flashy bout as the entire night sky was dyed a bright orange colour while the two caught the other up on the events of the last last six months.
"You cut your hair."
*BOOM!!*
"It was getting *BOOM!!* in the way."
"I [Breath of Flames - Third Form: Blazing Universe] like it!"
Meeting his downward slash with a [Calidus Brachium], an explosion strong enough to shake the surroundings erupted out.
Forced apart by the explosion, the two didn't wait for the dust to settle as they stared at each other with fire burning in their eyes.
Despite the cold air blowing past them, the pure amount of heat radiating off their figures caused them to ignore it as they simultaneously got into their stances.
*GRINS*
*GRINS*
[Breath of Blue Flames: Grim Style First Form - Unknowing Fire]
Bursting forward with an intense level of speed, the two were about to clash again.
...
...
...
-Secret Golden Dawn Base-
"Should we stop them?"
Standing with the recently arrived captains, Asta and the others watched as Grim and Mereoleona performed a wonderful display of fire magic. Unfortunately that display of fire magic was brimming with so much mana that it would signal the enemy wizard kings of their location.

Clashing with each other yet again, the two continued on with their previous conversation as if they weren't violently attacking the other.
"Speaking *Swoosh* of hair *Bang* *Bang*, you let yours grow?"
*BANG!!*
"I *Bang* was too busy *Bang* to care!*
*BAAANG!!*
Quickly breaking apart, the two clenched their fists and started ramping up their mana as they prepared to take things to the next level.
But before Mereoleona could activate her mana zone and Grim his elf form, the two were suddenly stopped by the sudden arrival of the other captains.
"As fun as this is to watch, we have more important things to deal with."
Appearing inbetween the two, the voice of Vangence caused Mereoleona to pause before eventually extinguishing her flames.
"Tch, this is why you're not popular with women."
Grim on the other hand wasn't so easily subdued.
*BOOM!!*
Having already had his fight with Jester and Princia interupted today, would he allow another one to go unfinished?
"GRIM!!"
Exploding out with an oceans worth of mana, the magic knights below felt a huge pressure slam into them as they forced to their knees.
Going directly into his elf form, the bright light in his eyes turned malicious as the flames on his body quickly transformed themselves into flashes of lightning.
*RUUUMBLE*
"Who the fuck do you lot think you are?!"
*BANG!!*
Barely managing to dodge a bolt of lightning coming from above, the captains all turned to look at Grim with a new level of seriousness.
"Oh?" Mereoleona raised an eyebrow.
'This feeling... its the same as the one felt back in the shadow palace... No... Its much stronger.'
"Ha...Ha...Ha..."
Hearing his slow laughter as well as seeing the black in his hair fade to white, the look on everyone's faces suddenly changed as they realized things were about to get out of hand.
"Again and again and again. How many times will you people get in the way of my fun???"
*RUMBLE*
"I let it go earlier, but it happened again."
*RUUMBLE*
"Why won't you just mind your own business?"
RUUUMBLE!*
"Haha, I think I get it now."
*Raises Head*
"In order to avoid situations like this-"
*Smiles*
"I just have to kill you all."
