After defeating Zagred, Asta was falsely accused for being the mastermind behind the Elf incident. After no one came to defend him, Asta voluntarily chose to be exiled due to his newfound resentment towards the Clover Kingdom. Shortly after leaving...
Liebe told me about his past, my mom, how she died, and how he ended up in the five leaf grimoire. He had been tormented for the amusement of stronger devils so that they could kill time. Due to that treatment, he stopped caring about anything, even if he died. A high ranked devil threw him at the underworld's gate out of spite, but instead of crashing into it, Liebe passed right through because he was magicless like me. He just wandered aimlessly through the human world, not caring about humans in the slightest, however the humans feared and loathed him for just being a devil, so they called the Magic Knights to drive him off, he fled into the forest until his body started shutting down due to his exhaustion and injuries. Liebe was relieved thinking that his life was about to end along with his suffering, but my mom, Licita, found and saved him. She had no fear or hatred toward him, in fact she was happy that she was able to be around someone. Mom had a curse that drained the mana and life force of anything that came near her. For that reason, she lived isolated from other people, but Liebe was a magicless devil, so he was unaffected by her curse. Because he could be around her, Mom decided to adopt him, she even gave him a name. Because of her, Liebe learned of happiness for the first time in his life. However, those days didn't last much longer.
One day, Lucifero,one of the three rulers of the underworld found Liebe and tried to possess his body, but Mom managed to drive Lucifero out of him, but before she did, the king of devils used Liebe's arm to impale her through the stomach. Before Lucifero left, he warned that he would come back to try it again. In order to protect Liebe from Lucifero, Mom used her remaining strength to seal him in the five leaf grimoire, hoping that one day he would be set free. Ever since that day, Liebe had been cursing his entire race, wanting nothing more than to kill every last Devil in existence. It was his pain and hatred that made him manifest Anti-magic, the power to nullify spells.
Me: "I'm sorry you had to go through all." I said with a sad tone before continuing. "I'll help you avenge our mother."
Liebe: "What?" He was surprised and puzzled by what I told him.
Me: "I'll help you. I may not remember her, but she is still our Mom. Besides, you helped me survive all those crazy battles in the past, so it's only fair that I help you too."
Liebe said with a smile: "Thanks brother."
Me: "You're welcome." I replied with a smile.
Liebe: "Well, what do you say we get to work tomorrow?"
Me: "Yeah, I was planning on doing that tomorrow."
I put out my hand and he took it and we shook hands.
2 weeks later
Liebe and I had been training for the past 2 weeks, improving our mastery of Anti-magic, as well as our swordsmanship. During that time, we learned how to summon our swords back to us when they were knocked out of our hands, as well as project slashing attacks with the Demon Dweller sword. But that was as far as got until we had that encounter.
We were in the middle of a sparring match, me wielding Demon Slayer and him with Demon Dweller, when we heard a growl coming from my right. We both looked and saw that it was a giant tiger-like creature with what resembled a cape on its back.
