Behind The Mask (An OC x Black Clover Harem)

Chapter 12: Eye of the Midnight Sun

My shadow scythe disappears and I take a few soft breaths before standing up straight and controlling not only my breathing but also my overflowing power.

I almost let out too much of it seep out which I have been advised not to by Constance........and I agree with her.

That guy.......Blackwell......he was really strong. I have a feeling he had more to offer but I had to end the fight now, this is the first time since I first met Yami where I really pushed myself.

I take a look at my chest and saw that I stopped bleeding, yes I didn't bleed much but I don't want other people to see. Something about my blood being black......concerns me....if people see it.......

Will they think that I am some sort of monster? A demon?

Do I want them to think of me like that?

I shouldn't care but........part of me wants to care.

I would get reminded of him, brandishing me some sort of curse that had killed my own mother, the mother I never met.

Blue: I should move on now

I take one more look at where I had left Blackwell, buried under a demolished house and then walked on. I didn't realise that my confrontation with him was long, I noticed that all of the fires had died down and there were no more undead flooding the part of the capital where I was.

I could feel everyone's mana and knew they were alright, Asta was slightly hurt though and I could feel a specific aura around him. I knew it must've been the one behind this, Blackwell seemed too active to be the leader of the attack.

I decided to go towards Asta's location as I plan to end this pointless invasion, I jump on a house roof and go from roof to roof. I reached where Asta was and saw that he was with some strange looking person.

I knew that this was the man behind the attack, I continue to watch as Asta struggles with this guy who I learnt was called Rades and his puppet. It was some Distorted floating creature that had some sort of magic power.

Then before I could jump in, Fuegoleon arrives with Leopold and Noelle and takes care of it easily. It would've been disappointing if he couldn't do anything.

Rades: No! How?!

Fuegoleon: You must understand that you have to stop this madness

Asta: Captain Fuegoleon is strong!

Leopold: Yes! That's my big brother for you!

Blue: Not bad, Captain Fuegoleon

I announce my presence and jump down from the roofs, I walk over as Asta, Noelle and Leopold were happy to see me while Fuegoleon gave a nod.

Asta: Alright! Blue is here!

Noelle: How were things at your end?

Blue: Nothing special

Leopold: Of course my rival wouldn't be fazed by the enemy!

Blue: I'm not your rival-

Fuegoleon: Your clothes have been damaged, what happened?

Blue:......Nothing

Rades: W-Wait I know those marks, did Blackwell fight you?

Asta: Ehh? Blackwell?

Blue: He has been taking care of

Rades: S-Shit!

Rades tries to run but Fuegoleon binds him with flames, his grimoire drops to the ground and Fuegoleon picks it up despite Rades threatening him to not touch it or open it.
