With the Black Bulls

Asta panted heavily, as his left arm sizzling after using his devil's power against Dante. His legs gave out underneath him, only to be caught by Yami. "Well done, Asta, you crazy son of a bitch." He praised, his lips twitching upwards into a smirk.

Asta gave a breathy laugh, "Thanks."

Vanessa and Finral ran over to check up on the pair, the latter crying tears of joy that they were okay.

Not too far away, Gauche sat upright, looking around in confusion—only to be tackled by Grey. "Gauche! Th-Th-Th...Thank goodness!" She cried out, wrapping her arms around his waist.

"Uh...Grey..." he trailed off awkwardly, making the timid girl realize the position they were in and quickly scramble off of him. She furiously apologized, her face heating up bright red.

Vanessa laughed, "Well, well...What's going on with those two?~"

Finral helped Asta up, supporting his arm over his shoulder, "What's the matter, Yami?" He asked, watching as their captain began walking towards Dante's unconscious body.

Yami placed a cigarette in his mouth to light later, "He may be dying, but we need to restrain him."

"Oh, good point!" Finral quipped.

"Talk about a gigantic pain in the ass. You hardcore psycho stalker freak," Yami said, bending down to look at his grimoire. "Well, we captured the enemy's top devil-possessed. Guess it's happily ever aft—"

He paused, unable to shake off the feeling he was being watched. Looking to his right, his eyes widened as they met with the emotionless gaze of Zenon.

The sound of flesh tearing, and Dante's grimoire falling to the ground caught the Black Bulls' attention. They turned to see Yami suspended in the air, with a bone-like protrusion sticking through various parts of his body, blood running from the open wounds onto the ivory colored surface.

'I screwed up...I can't move..!' He thought, gritting his teeth in pain.

'Who's that?' Finral wondered fearfully, feeling himself quiver as he stared at the ominous man. His eyes widened at the sight of a defeated Vangeance behind him. 'That's...the Captain of the Golden Dawn!'

Zenon lifted up Dante's body with his appendages, "I was concerned about the magic fluctuation and came to check. Though, that woman delayed me a bit..." he said, before belittling him for losing.

Yami glared at him, "H-Hey, you skeleton piece of shit....wh-where is she?!"

Zenon looked at him uninterestedly, "I wouldn't be so concerned, you won't be seeing her anytime soon anyway..."

Yami clenched his jaw at his response, though it wasn't like he expected him to give a direct answer. He knew Yve, and she wouldn't die so easily.

Zenon noticed Asta's demon mark, and sent his bones towards him, only for Finral to block it with his spatial magic. He eyed the brunette with interest, "I'd like to take this one, too, but times up." He said, before opening up a portal.
