Chapter 4

Finral just arrived at the base, he saw Vanessa Gauche and Grey. "Hi there you guys are doing good" he said as he came out of the portal. "Finral what are you doing here? Aren't you meant to be in the Heart kingdom? Vanessa said walking towards Finral, "Thought I could drop by brought some fruits" Finral said as he gave Grey the baskets filled with fruits. "Tha-tha-nk yo-u stop looking at me it's embarrassing she said taking the fruits and running behind the couch, "Hey there Gauche" Finral said waving at Gauche, who was looking at a Marie's doll, "Don't bother me now I'm looking at Marie now" Gauche yelled not removing his eyes from the doll, "Sheesh nice to see you haven't changed" Finral said, "Where is Henry and Gordon?" He asked. "Well Henry is all tired from transporting the base here" Vanessa said, the base was relocated to the boundary between the Spade Kingdom and Clover Kingdom, to be prepared for the upcoming battle with Spade Kingdom. "He said something about trying to recover his mana, Charmy isn't here to give us the mana recovering food" she added. " Ok well Charmy is hooked up in the Heart Kingdom's delicacies" Finral said, "And Gordon?" Finral added "He went to master his Poison Magic with his family" Vanessa added, "Well after we heard what happened with Asta, we all decided to get stronger, we all felt broken" Vanessa said before she remembered Noelle, "Finral how is Noelle? I know the news might have hurt her more than it did to us" she asked with a worried tone. "She's getting better, but she still says he comes to her dream every now and then" Finral said in a low tone. "His death made Marie cry" Gauche said, "I hate to say this but I miss the shrimp" Gauche added, "Well I can't deny that I kind-" before Finral could finish the sentence, they all felt an evil presence when they looked out they saw that the black bulls base was floating in air, a man could be seen floating in mid air, with danger written all over his face. "Hmm so this is the dwelling place of Yami Sukehiro, not what i expected but we all have our tastes." the man said "It seems that he isn't home, now then I hope you lot will keep me entertained." The black bulls knew that the man wasn't a normal opponent so they calculated their moves, "Ev-er-y- one geeeee t down" Henry shouted as he used his recombination to form the raging bull formation and he tried to punch the man, but before he could reach the man snapped his finger and everything went down like they being pushed down by force. "Gravity magic: presence of the demon king, I really thought that you will keep me entertained while waiting for Yami Sukehiro's return but it seems I thought wrong" He said with a smirk on his face, he then noticed that their mana was still intact. "Interesting, it seems that there was another arcane stage here" he said before kicking open the wall that was shielding the black bulls, there he saw Vanessa, Grey and Gauche, Finral had used spatial magic to escape trying to find Yami. The reason the Black Bulls weren't dead was due to rogue who was standing on Vanessa's shoulder. "Hmm my my not only can you manipulate fate, you are outstandingly beautiful, be my woman" the man said, this shocked the black bulls. "What the fuck did you say creep" Gauche yelled, "You all heard me, you are the type of woman that suits me, I Dante of the Dark Triad" Dante said introducing himself, "She is not going ANYWHERE!!! Mirror Magic: reflecto refrain" Gauche yelled, the spell he used made Dante fall back cackling, Gauche rushed to the roof he caught sight of Dante "If i end you here it will mean that Asta's death will not be in vain and our troubles will be over, Mirror Magic: Large Reflecto Refrain" Gauche yelled using his spell he managed to land a hit on Dante. This enraged the devil host, he saw blood drip from his cheek. "How dare you! How dare you do this to ME!!" Dante yelled, he waved his hand making the black bulls float, "Now then I make sure you don't do that again" he said using his magic, he lifted a boulder, turned it into a sword and stabbed Gauche, Before he could attack Grey, a dark slash came from above separating him from them. "Oi, what the fuck do you think you're doing to my squad"  a voice from above asked, it was Yami, Finral had found and they came back to see Gauche floating with a big sword sticking out his chest, this enraged Yami who then let a glare that was strong enough to intimidate anyone. "Ah splendid, Yami Sukehiro you are here" Dante said with a smirk on his face "Now we really should get going it's getting late" he said. Yami was confused " What are you? No who are you? Go Where? The only place you are going is hell, Dark magic: dimension slash. Yami said sending his slash towards Dante, who seemed unfazed and responded by warping the space around the slash making it ineffective. "Guess A little entertainment won't hurt anyone now  Yami Sukehiro entertain me" Dante said laughing.

  When Yami came in, this made Dante focus on him, making the black bulls he held captive fall from where he hung them. Before they reach the ground, Grey made the rocks into cotton for a safe impact, "Gauche Gauche please wake up" Grey said shaking Gauche who was slowly losing consciousness, 'My transformation magic is absolutely useless' she thoughtto herself sobbing,

'That man's power is insane after months of training he easily threw us off guard, he wasn't even using his full  power I can sense it' Vanessa thought to herself, the fact that Dante was able to do much damage alone scared everyone. Just then something caught her eye, Grey was sealing Gauche's wound, 'Impossible, transformation magic shouldn't be able to do that' Vanessa thought. 'This is interesting it seems there was another arcane stage mage here' Dante said to himself leaving himself open for Yami to cut him, "Yo line-face, if leave yourself open I will cut you" Yami said blowing smoke from his launching another attack in the air, he had learnt how to control the mana around him letting him walk on air. "I see you're lively, I will respond kindly, devil power 60%" Dante said "Gravity magic: presence of the demon king" he used his spell once it was stronger than before, making Yami fall to the ground. 'This can't be happening this can't be happening how did this monster get here when did he get, why is he here? I thought we were staying on guard so that the soldiers won't attack from behind, instead the boss is here and isn't even giving us breathing gap' Finral thought, 'I have to find Henry, captain Yami told if it resorts to a fight that I should take everyone out here' he thought to himself. "Hmmm it seems that, you don't want to grovel on the ground, Yami Sukehiro" Dante said noticing that Yami was still standing, "Mana Zone: Dark moon" Yami used his spell to cancel Dante's spell around him, "I know it won't change anything, if I may ask what did I do to attract you here? Did we gamble or something or  I'm  I owning you something eh creepy face" Yami said from his space, "Why Yami, you are the key to our plans, Yami Sukehiro you are the key to the underworld, we need an arcane stage dark magic user and an arcane stage world tree magic user, that is your friend William Vangeance, to create the tree of Qilpoth which will create the gate to the underworld, letting we devil hosts use 100% of our power" Dante said, "Gate of the Underworld, they even know about William they have been watching us" Yami said to himself, "Well it seems that you are nearing your limit" Dante said trying to grab Yami, "Hhah, there is one thing you should know about me, and that is I don't know my limits" Yami said dodging Dante's hand, "I will have to give this my all" Yami thought to himself "Dark Magic: lai slash" Yami used his spell to slice Dante into two, "Excellent, Excellent Yami Sukehiro as expected from the Arcane stage I am hunting, why don't I make it fair" Dante said with an evil smile on his face "Devil powers: 80%" Dante said transforming into devil like creature, he then sent boulders to Yami. "Oops I think I crushed him" Dante said still smiling, the rocks were destroyed revealing a pissed off Yami with killing intents in his eye, "That does it right here and now I will surpass my limits" Yami said, "Yes Yami, Yes Yami entertain me more" Dante said "Gravity magic: gravity singularity" he said sending an orb like spell towards Yami who dodged it. Yami started running towards Dante with his sword on his right hand, "I will compress the mana zone, I will concentrate it to a particular point and then I will fire" Yami thought himself when he reached Dante, he looked the devil-host in eye and his attack, "Dark Magic: death thrust" Yami yelled the spell he used blew Dante's body from his torso to his mouth away, "Woah I was going for a thrust, I ended up using a cannon" Yami said, "This is very interesting, there isn't meant to be a human strong enough to match up to me, but there is one here and Now, this makes more interesting" Dante said as he started regenerating his body, "This is bad, he can regenerate in an inhuman manner I can't keep the squad here he will murder them I have to give Finral the signal, I can't let them die here" Yami thought to himself, "FINRAL TAKE THEM OUT OF HERE NOW" Yami yelled, "What is he talking about? What is captain trying to do?" Vanessa asked, Finral with tears in his eyes, opened a spatial portal, leading them out. "You better not die, Captain" Finral said before entering the portal dragging Vanessa who didn't what to leave Yami. "Now, I can feel, at ease and fight you, to the fullest" Yami said, "Interesting, you sent your squad out of here, hmm you are unpredictable Yami Sukehiro, now then let's end this " Dante said "Gravity magic: gravity singularity" he then fired the spell at Yami. " MANA ZONE: DIMENSION SLASH EQUIOX DIE ALREADY BASTARDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!" Yami tell as he used the spell trying to block Dante's attack. There was an explosion due to the powerful spells colliding in that manner, Yami was then exhausted, " Hmmm guess I'm gonna see you soon" Yami said as he collapsed dropping his sword. "You were an interesting one, now we should be on our way" Dante said as he grabbed Yami, just a spatial portal opened, it was Zenon he had William hanging his bone magic, "It looks like you are done here here" Zenon said looking at his brother and the fallen Yami, "Well he didn't want come easily, we should be on our way" Dante said as he and Zenon exited through the portal leaving Yami's sword behind. A dark cloaked man appeared and picked up the sword, "To think Yami will lose, it means it is almost time" he said as he vanished into the ground.
