The capital of the clover kingdom was currently under attack. Flames were covering multiple areas of the city as groups of moving corpses continued to attack the people. Feugoleon was able to meet up with Leo as the two of them were surrounded by multiple moving corpses, "Man there sure are a lot of these things, I hope my rival doesn't get hert by them" said Leo.
"Just where are they all coming from" said Noelle.
Over with the blue rose knights, "Man theses things sure are ugly huh Char" said Sol.
"Yes but their still a threat and please remember it's captain Sol" said Charlotte as she looked at the enemy surrounding them.
Back with Feugoleon, Leo and Noelle, "These things may have magic power inside them, but they're not living so that means" said Feugoleon.
"We can take them down" all the magic knights said from the location they were at.
"Here try this, flame magic, flame spiral" said Leo as flames shot out from his hands and sent them towards the corpses in a spiral destroying them.
"Flame magic, senurion" said Feugoleon as his grimoire opened and blue bleam shot out at the corpses and then multple explosions of fire destroyed the corpses that the beam had hit.
"Amazing" said Noelle looking impressed by the magic knights from the crimson lions, before pointing her wand forward, "But I'm going to fight to" she said as she started sending multiple blasts of water at the corpses destroying them, "Just hold on a little longer Asta" she thought.
Over with Yunos group, "Filty beasts, I will destroy you, sand creation magic guardian" said Aleedora glaring at the corpses as a giant sand knight appeared behind him and sliced at the corpses with two swords.
"Wind magic towering tornado" said Yuno as multiple wind tornados shot towards the corpses.
"Please if your injured come to me, my healing flower cradle can heal your injury's" said Mimosa as multiple flower cages had already been made and people were already sitting in them.
With Asta he stood in front of the enemy mage, "So the magic knights came out after all, I knew they would but I didn't expect it to be a black bull" said the mage as he didn't notice the little girl had gotten up from the ground and ran over to Asta hugging his leg.
"Thank you for saving me, I was so scared" she said with tears of relief in her eyes.
"You did great, but I need you to stand behind be now okay" said Asta putting his left hand on the girls head since his right hand was holding his big anti magic sword. The girl nodded her head and stood behind him.
"If I remember right you must be that anti magic kid" said the mage as multiple corpses started coming out of the ground around him.
"So you've heard of me" said Asta gripping the handle of his sword while Nero landed on the girls head.
"It doesn't matter to me anyway, there's no way you can stand up against my power with that rusted old sword of yours" the mage said smiling as the corpses started to move towards Asta who rushed forward with his anti magic sword and started cutting them down.
Back over with Feugoleon, "Now flame creation magic, roaring lion" he said as a big flaming lions head appeared behind him and breathed fire destroying the rest of the corpses.
"They did it" said one of the civilians who was watching the fight.
"Well that's the captain of the crimson lions for you" said another one.
Leo put his flames out when he heard the sound of someone familiar yelling, "Hey I know that yelling" he said following a path that would lead him to where he needed to go and he reacehd an open area where he watched as Asta continued destroying the corpses the enemy mage had created.
"Such raw power, he doesn't have any magic yet he is able to take them down so easily with just pure strength and that sword" thought Leo before smiling, "Just what I would expect from my rival" he said.
"Tell me magic knight, why do you protect these people" asked the enemy mage looking annoyed that Asta was able to destroy his corpses.
"Like I need a reason to protect these innocent people" said Asta rushing forward intending to stirke the mage when a dark portal appeared on the ground in front of him and piece of the magic shot towards Astas cutting his cheek making him jump back as he watched a corpse bigger then the rest, covered in bandages and a symbol of his eye on his head appear.
"Innocent you say, well to me everyone here is guilty for not respecting my power and why would I fight when I can get others to fight for me" said the mage laughing as he spread his arms out, "Say hello to my number two Jimmy".
Over with the blue rose knights, "I will not let any one of you touch Char, earth magic, stone goddess" said Sol as an earth golem appeared from the ground under and started smashing the corpses with its big fists.
Charlotte was holding a sword handle with green thorns sticking out of the handle, she swung the thorns cutting down multiple corpses while multiple ones rushed towards her, "Sorry but this as close as your getting, thorn magic, corpse hunting trees" she said sending the thorns from the sword handle into the ground and they started shooting up from the ground destroying the corpses above them in thorn spirals, "I hope Feugoleon was able to find Asta, there's no telling how many more of these are out there" she thought.
Noelle found Asta facing the enemy mage while Leo was burning corpses with his flame spiral magic, "There he is" she said about to rush forward to help him when the memory of what happenned in the banquet hall flashed in her mind of what her siblings said about her. But she then shook her head looking determined, "That doesn't matter, Astas has made me feel stronger ever since we met, I was even able to stand up against Nozel earlier saying I would help Asta become the wizard king and now is the time to fight with him" she thought before she started running to join in the fight.
"Damn this cuts getting even worse" though Asta as he noticed the cut on his cheek had gotten bigger.
"I see you've noticed Jimmys power, when ever one of his attacks hit you the wound will only get worse over time" said the mage laughing as the corpse known as Jimmy started firing more blasts of its magic towards Asta.
"This sword is two big to destroy these attacks" thought Asta as his girmoire opened and he took out his small anti magic sword and started destroying the magic blasts when he heard water splash behind him. He looked to see a familiar water dome cover the little girl and Noelle walking over to him, "Great timing Noelle" he said smiling.
"Next time dont just run off like that Asta" said Noelle looking sirious as she stood next to him, "Remember were both magic knights remember" she said smiling as she looked into his eyes and after this happenned the lines in his sword started glowing blue like it did back in the dungeon.
Asta and Noelle looked at the sword smiling knowing what it meant, "Yeah your right" said Asta holding his sword at the ready and Noelle pointed her wand forward as the mage started laughing.
"Ha this is perfect, not only do I get to kill a magicless knight but I get to take down a royal aswell, Jimmy take them down" said the mage as Jimmy send multiple blasts of magic towards Asta and Noelle.
But the mage was surpsied when Asta slashed his sword multiple times, sending blue slashes at the magic attacks destroying them while Noelle blasted the few that were left with water, "No, how can this be possible, HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO MAKE YOUR SWORD USE HER POWER" the mage yelled annoyed as Asta grabbed his other anti magic sword.
"Before she entered the battle it seemed she was hesitant to join him, no doubt because of what her siblings said to her earlier" thought Feugoleon as he watched Asta and Noelle face off against the enemy mage after destroying the corpses that were going to attack Noelle before she joined the battle, "But her feelings for this boy helped her get passed it, I will only aid them if it's needed" he thought.
Asta then started spinning with his two anti magic swords as he got closer to Jimmy and then struck the corpse with both of his swords making it fall down. After Asta had to make sure he didn't lose his balance after he stopped spinning.
"I haven't seen a magic knight fight like that before, impressive" said Leo laughing.
"Now that there's no one protecting you you'll have to fight us yourself now" said Asta as he held his anti magic swords at the ready.
"Hey Cmon jimmy get up, don't let a guy like this beat you" said the mage looking annoyed until he smiled, "No I don't think so, I'll still have plenty of corpses to use" he said as lighting started to appear in front of him. Another corpse flew into the air, this one was surrounded with lighting, it was covered in bandages with two symbols of eyes on its head. It had no legs and it's arms were crossed.
"It's another one that can use magic" said Noelle as Asta ran over to her and placed his right hand on her shoulder.
"This could get dangerous so you better get the litte girl out of here" he said.
Noelle nodded at him before giving him a kiss on the cheek, "I'll be right back" she said as the water dome covering the little girl fell apart and Noelle started leading the little girl away from the battlefield near the path where Leopold was, "You need of get as from here as you can" she said kneeling down to girls height.
"Please ms you have to help him" said the little girl.
"Don't worry I'm not going anywhere, I won't abondon him and you have Nero to look after you" said Noelle smiling at the anti bird that was on the girls head who lifted up their wing in understanding as the little girl turned to walk away.
"There's another one" said Leopold getting Noelles attention and she turned around to see another corpse coming out of a puddle of water. This corpse was large and two puddles of water was at both of its sides.
"Sorry but I need to keep you busy while Alfred takes care of your boyfriend" said the mage smirking as the corpse with the lighting surrounding it, now known as Alfred shot lighting at Asta who dodged the attack.
"Noelle I'll be fine, just focus on the guy your facing" said Asta looking sirious.
"Don't worry, no rival of my mine will lose easily and come to think of it since you said your gonna help him become the wizard king that makes you my rival aswell" said Leopold as flames surrounded his hands.
"Yeah i guess your right" said Noelle smiling as she readied her wand.
"If you mind me asking why would you want him to be the next wizard king" aksed Leopold?
"It's because he's the kind of person who doesn't give up and neither will I" said Noelle as she and Leopold had to dodge an attack from the corpse as more lighting shot Asta who dodged it.
The lighting who was shooting all around the sky, Yuno spotted it from where he was fighting, "Asta" he said.
"There we go, your all better" said Mimosa as a person walked out of a flower cage after being fully healed, she then looked in the same direction Yuno was looking, "The magic coming from that area, could they be fighting whoever's responsible for this attack" she thought.
Meanwhile in the magic knights headaquarters Charmy had found her way to the kitchen after following a smell, the kitchen was large, where a large fire was under a big pan that was currently cooking food. There were three chefs in the room trying to get the lead chef to leave, "Please sir the capital is under attack" said one of the men.
"No this meal needs to be finished, Iam sure those magic knights will enjoy it" said the lead chef smiling.
"But sir the magic kngiths have already left" said the other man getting the lead chefs attention.
"What, but how could they leave without trying my dish" he said looking annoyed until Charmy ran into the room and bowed in front of the chef.
"Sir I would be honored if you would let me taste your dish" said Charmy looking at him with a determined look on her face.
"Who is this shorty" said the lead chef until he noticed the rhobe she was wearing, "She's a magic knight, she must be one of those big shots from the awarding cermenony" he thought before smiling, "Then just you wait, I will surely make a dish you'll enjoy" he said as the pan over the fire started moving faster while Charmy cheered.
Back with Asta he had just landed after dodging another attack when he noticed his cut getting even worse as blood started to pour down his cheek, but he then noticed a lighting strike about to hit him. But the attack was then stopped by flames shooting up at Alfred stopping the attack and burning it to ash.
"No, Alfreds been destroyed" said the mage looking surpsied.
Asta turned around to see Feugoleon walk over to him. He then looked annoyed, "Damnit, I couldn't even beat it with my own strength" he thought griping the handles of his swords.
"I've interrupted your fight and I'm sorry about that" said Feugoleon standing in front of Asta making him look up, "But I couldnt allow a magic knight like you die here" he said looking at Asta, "Yami was right to pick you, he clearly saw something in you that the rest of us didn't" he thought.
"Asta, you said your goal is to become the wizard king, well I guess that makes you my rival aswell" he said making Asta look surpsied.
"Wait did a magic knight captain just make me his rival" thought Asta looking surpsied that a magic knight captain said this about him.
"The wizard king, huh like a magicless squirt like him couldnt become the wizard king" said the mage laughing.
"Just who are you and why are you attacking" asked Feugoleon.
"Hmm, the names Rades" said the mage, "I was actually a magic knight candidate" he said making Asta and Feugoleon look surpsied.
"That's right, he was just a commoner but he had an incredible amount of magic power" thought Feugoleon remembering when he saw the man a long time ago, "If I remember correctly you were assigned to the purple orcas, why turn traitor" he asked?
"I was kicked out and I wasn't just kicked out of my squad" said Rades clenching his fists, "I was even banished from the kingdom, they said my magic was forbiddden and evil, that's why I'm attacking the clover kingdom, to get my revenge for them not respecting my great power" he said.
"Well that's one of our objectives here" said a voice from one of the piles of corpses Asta had defeated but no one heard it.
Then another corpse started flying up from the ground behind Rades. This one was covered in a white rhobe and only it's head could be seen. There was a symbol of an eye in the middle of its rhobe.
"Say hello to Number 1, Wraith" he said smiling.
"Alright let's take this guy down" said Asta rushing forward only to stop when Feugoleon chopped him on the top of the head.
"A good magic knight should know when he's at his limit" said Feugoleon as he noticed the cut on Astas cheek had gotten worse, "Remember to stay calm, Leo" he said getting his younger brothers attention.
"Yeah" he said.
"Do you need assistance" Feugoleon asked only for his brother to smile.
"No we can take care of it brother" Leo said as flames started to surround his hands again.
"Then two of you will face him on your own, remember to stay calm and figure out your enemy's movements so you can find a way to defeat them" he said turning to look at Rades as his grimoire opened.
"Understood" said Leo and Noelle.
"Now flame magic, roaring lion" said Feugoleon as a big flaming lion appeared behind him and breathed fire at the Rades creating a cloud of smoke.
"He was able to talk to the others and fight, wow" said Asta looking impressed by the crimson lions captain.
Then from the smoke, both Wraith and Rades were surrounded by a magic shield, "Here's the thing about Wraith, he's great at using defensive spells" Rades said while smirking as multiple small magic drills shot from the shield towards Fuegoleoon. A flame shield then went up protecting him from the attacks.
"Flame magic, flame spiral shield" said Feugoleon with a calm look on his face as the little drills turned to ash when they hit the flames.
"Haha, so now all you can do is defend, I wonder just how long you'll be able to hold" but before Rades could finish his sentence a blue beam shot through the shield and went through Wraith. The corpse fell down to the ground and the shield vanished, "Wait, how did you" he said looking shocked.
"There were parts of your spell that grew weaker when you attacked, I just aimed for that point" said Feugoleon as the flame spiral went down and he started to approach Rades, "You said you came here for revenge" he said as the sun started to shine.
Rades then started to look afraid as the captain of crimson lions moved closer to him, "Rades, it's You who is the real monster" Feugoleon said angrily.
Over with the silver eagles, "Was that it" said Nebra.
"That was just way to easy" said Solid smiling.
Nozel just continued to look around as the people cheered that all the corpses in the area were defeated.
Over with Yunos group, "I have to get stronger so I can handle situations like these easier" Yuno thought looking at his hand.
"Let's all year it for the magic knights" said the people in the area cheering.
But up in the sky a woman wearing a black outfit and wearing a black witches hat was sitting down on her broom as she smiled looking down at the people, "I can just feel the mana already" she said smirking as she loooked excited for what was going to happen next.
