Black Clover: The Bulls Doctor

Chapter 23: Duel of the Mages

In the Previous chapter

"Shall we get started then?"

Present

As Mike says this they now all stand on their respective positions for the Tree

Mike stands on the remaining spot on the tree and Assists in opening the Palace all enter it and see no failsafe anywhere they continue walking towards their goal for quite a bit until a door on their Right Opens Revealing a Hooded figure wearing a Mask and wielding a familiar weapon

The Elves stare at the Figure in shock seeing the Symbols on they're robes showing they are a Monk proving Mikes Hypothesis to be correct about the failsafe before the elves can do anything Mike Walks infront of them and says

"Go this is My fight" he says staring stoically at the Monk the Elves nod and leave them the to stare at eachother the Monk then decides to speak saying

"Who are you? You are not of the order but you possess our weapon so answer me welp who are you?" He demands wishing to know Mikes identity to which he simply Responds

"Merely a Doctor Sir and what of you? Your a Monk that I can see but your rank?" Mike questions trying to gain as much information about the Monk before their inevitable duel the Monk clicks his tongue in annoyance as he says

"A Doctor? A mere Doctor stands before the Grandmaster of the Order you dare!?" He says Enraged of Mikes statement Mike looks at him thinking

'Grandmaster?! He's the damn leader then'  Mikes thinks before saying

"You won't be getting past me 'Grandmaster' " Mike says with a little mocking tone to the Guys Title the Grandmaster simply says

"So be it" and sends a torrent of Lightning towards Mike who absorbs the Attack Mike looks at him stoically and sends a similar attack back to the  Grandmaster whom deflects into a wall this goes on for a bit with both sending Magical Attacks at eachother they both Finally stop as the Grandmaster now says

"Since we cannot measure our skills in our Magic 'ignites his sword' then our skills in the blade will suffice"

He then spins his blade around and activates the second blade showing a yellow double bladed sword

(50 seconds to 53 seconds is how he does it )

Mike returns the gesture Activating his own blade and they then clash

The fight

They both dash towards eachother
The Grandmaster sends slash After slash at Mike who is blocking Most of the attacks with ease they both slash and block eachother both clearly being equal in skill and unknowingly gaining small cuts from both their blows they keep pushing eachother until they are now in a completely different area to where they started Mike changes things up and destroys some of the walls and floor and sends the Debris towards the Grandmaster who cuts through each of them with ease until a hidden Debris hits his leg causing him to stumble Mike takes Advantage of this and goes for a quick blow and succeeds and damages the Grandmasters weapon now only allowing him to use one blade they both Raise their blades above their heads and reingage with a quick clash

(1:12 - 1:25 is what they do plus the clash)

They continue parrying eachothers blows until they hear destruction above them looking up they see weird slugs coming from above they both start running to the top of the Palace still taking stabs at eachother whilst trying to evade the slugs Mike is unlucky and some slugs get his arm burning his arm leaving it with a burn mark and the sleeve and glove gone Regaining his composure Mike uses his magic to jump towards the platform the Grandmaster is on and they immediately enter a saber lock looking at eachother one with a Stoic expression the other with a unreadable one due to the Mask they keep this up until Mike kicks the Grandmasters legs making him stumble and allows Mike to slash the Grandmasters Face momentarily stopping the Duel Mike gets into a stance as the Grandmaster takes his mask and looks back at Him with Pure Hatred in his eyes Revealing him to be a elderly Man he reenters the blade lock they stay like this a little longer until they push the other back and exchange attacks yet again The fight continues like this with them both not making progress in this duel Not noticing the Palace crumbling around them the Grandmaster then suddenly widens his eyes Momentarily before gaining an Evil smirk as he says

"I remember you now....your that Orphan from that Diamond kingdom Village" He says Making Mikes Eyes Widen Making him angry as he says

"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW THAT?!" Mike shouts back as the Grandmaster who's smile widens as he says

"Master Diablo Ordered its destruction and it was done as such" he answers Making Mike even more Angry

'ORDERED?! SOMEONE ORDERED IT?!' Mike thinks infuriated he then decides he's had Enough

He the Kicks the Grandmaster of the platform their on and jumps after him sending Angry quick blows at him and continues until he sees his opportunity and grabs the Grandmasters blade cutting his Hands off and Now puts both blades on his throat

(2:00-2:38 is what happened basically)

The Grandmaster Now is on his knees cowering infront of Mike whom is looking down at him with Pure Malice Mike immediately asks

"Who is this Diablo and don't lie Monk..." Mike says coldly The Grandmaster nods his head rapidly as he says

"Ma-Master Diablo is a high R-Ranking Mage in t-h-the Spade kingdom! He is a Unofficial Member of the Dark Triad! Making him its Fourth member if they even counted him! He o-ordered the attack on your Village because he w-w-" he's cut off by Mike yelling

"Because he what?!" He demands

"BECAUSE HE WAS BORED" the Grandmaster shouts Now making Mike silent the Grandmaster looks up to Mike as he hears

"Because he was bored huh?" He says quietly with a dark chuckle before he decapitated the Grandmaster killing the last monk he deactivates the blades and brings the dead Monks blade with him he now notices the state of the Palace and leaves whilst saying aloud

"Diablo huh? Wherever you Are....."

"You're dead"
