Chapter 15

Mereoleona, Nacht and Alec were still holding off Lucifero, "Insolent beings, you challenge me now you want to match up to me. I have had enough." Lucifero said as he made the gravity around them increase. Fuegolen and the other captains got up struggling under Lucifero's gravity magic, they managed to stand and started walking towards Lucifero, "We are the one's that protect the hope of the weak, we give a reason to get stronger." Fuegolen said walking towards the demon king, "We soar high in the sky, so they can go higher than us, they have faith that we will protect them not matter the situation." Nozel said following Fuegoleon. "Their love for us, keeps us going no matter what we won't fall here." Charlotte said raising up her briar. " THAT'S RIGHT THE TRUE MEANING OF THE MAGIC KNIGHTS IS THE MEANING BEHIND THE CLOVER." Dorothy said removing all the boulders in their way. "THAT IS WHY WE WON'T FALL CAUSE WE WERE GIVEN THE TITLE THE STRONGEST." All the captains said in unison. "Humans are really amusing they show such courage in front of an enemy they know that they can't beat." Adramelech said on the boulder he was sitting on. "Foolish humans." Lucifero said about to attack again. "No the foolish one here is you, cause you won't know how cool the magic knights are, there is no way we are losing here." Asta said from behind Lucifero. Asta pulled out his demon slayer, he swung the blade at Lucifero, Lucifero dodged the attack but sword managed to cut one of his horns. "Damn I missed." Asta said trying to strike again. "YOU BASTARD!!" Lucifero yelled as he grabbed Asta slamming him to the ground. Asta coughed out blood, he was about to stand but Lucifero started stomping on Asta's chest repeatedly, Asta yelled in pain, Lucifero picked him up and threw him at a boulder, Asta had passed out due to the beating he got from Lucifero. Lucifero went towards Asta to finish him off, "Die, your existence is a troubling one." Lucifero said trying to kill Asta. Ajuka and Anos came out and stopped Lucifero, "Someone take this boy out of here we can't hold for much longer." Ajuka said "Both of you dare defy your king." Lucifero said looking at the two devils, Nozel used his mercury magic to take Asta out of the way. "Give that brat back!!!" Lucifero yelled as he chased after Nozel, "Protect Asta, anti magic works on Lucifero." Nozel said as he sent Asta to Dorothy. Nozel triedto block Lucifero but was kicked away by the devil. Dorothy gave Asta to Fuegoleon, "Take him to Mimosa, I will hold him off." Dorothy turned back and sent Lucifero to the glamour world. Lucifero broke out the glamour world, he tossed Dorothy aside, he used his magic to pull Fuegoleon down. "No I have to protect this boy." Fuegoleon said trying to stand, but he couldn't. Lucifero reached him, he kicked Fuegoleon out the way. "Now Die." Lucifero said as he was about to kill Asta. A bright light covered Asta, it was Yuno, he used his star magic to change Asta's position. "Mimosa please heal him." Yuno said as he placed Asta in front of Mimosa and Noelle. "GIVE ME THAT BOY!!!" Lucifero yelled. Alec out of nowhere appeared and gave Lucifero a blow, "Like I will let you have him, he is my friend rival student and my brother. I won't let you kill him, Combined devil union: Beast of the Abyss." Alec said as an Armor with dragonic features covered him, "Ahh he will make a good a prey so no we aren't letting you have him." Mereoleona said as she threw punches at Lucifero, "We have been through so much together, I won't let my brother here." Yuno said attacking Lucifero. The trio were throwing attacks at Lucifero making him angrier than before. He started fight them off.

Noelle was crying uncontrollably, she was holding Asta's hand he was still unconscious. "His wounds are too deep, almost all his ribs are broken, I can't heal him completely. Noelle we have to take him out here." Mimosa said looking at Noelle. "Asta please don't leave me again please." Noelle said. Asta opened his eyes, he stood up slowly. Noelle held him down, "I am not letting you go anywhere. You're wounded." Noelle said to Asta. "Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just a little bruise." Asta said breathing heavily, Asta stood up and started walking towards the battlefield. Mimosa held Noelle's hand, "Noelle our words can't reach him, we can only pray that he comes back safely." Mimosa said with tears in her eye.

A minute before Asta woke up in Asta's subconscious.

Asta was floating in front of Liebe, Ajuka and Anos. "I'm sorry, Asta my power wasn't enough to take him down." Liebe said looking disappointed. "Don't worry we will try again." Asta said, "Try what again exactly to be killed? Don't be dumb you can't win him, even we can't stand against him." Ajuka said. "There is a way." Anos said making everyone look at him. "And what's that?" Ajuka asked, Anos looked Asta and took a deep breath. "This might cost you your life, are willing to do it?" He asked Asta. "I am as long it takes him down." Asta said, Anos was surprised at Asta's reply. "Ok we all will combine our powers in order to take Lucifero down. It normally consumes a large amout of mana, but since you don't have mana. It consume your Lifeforce." Anos said, "Are you trying to trick us? That will also kill you once a devil host dies the devils in contract with him will also die." Liebe said looking at Anos. "As much as I hate to die, I also hate Lucifero, so I want to take him down so are you guys in?" Anos asked looking at the other three. Ajuka looked at Asta, "Boy you are really something else, Well I'm in." Ajuka said, Liebe nodded. The three devils held hands and started combining their powers, it was hard at first due to Liebe's anti magic. But slowly it started working. "Now Asta go and take that Bastard down for Lichta's sake." Liebe said, "Ok!" Asta said as he started regaining consciousness.

Present time

"Noelle I will come back and when I do, we will be together." Asta said looking at Noelle. "Ok please come back." Noelle said holding her hands to her chest, "I'm sorry Noelle, I really love you, but I can't tell you what is about to happen. You won't let me go, I love you and would have wanted to be with you forever." Asta said in his mind, "Asta are you ready? We are about to release it." Anos said in Asta's mind. "Yes I'm ready." Asta said as he stood still, immediately a great surge of power started flowing through Asta's body. Asta screamed the power was overwhelming, Noelle and Mimosa were both shocked and surprised cause they felt mana coming from Asta. "Asta has mana? No it feels like those devils mana. What are they doing?" Mimosa asked, the same question was going through Noelle's head. "Asta be careful." Noelle mumbled. " Now! COMBINED DEVIL: HELL'S FALLEN KING 100%" Asta yelled. A mighty armor covered Asta, his form was terrifying. Nacht and Alec turned look at Asta, "What is he trying to do? He can't use devil union like that." Alec said attacking Lucifero, "Is he trying to kill himself? No he won't but knowing Asta." Nacht said in his mind, Asta launched at Lucifero, Lucifero tried to grab him, but his hand was stopped by Asta. "Asta this form will hold for two minutes. Take HIM DOWN!!" Anos said in Asta's mind, "Ok, LUCIFERO!! THIS IS WHERE YOU FALL!!" Asta yelled.
