At the Black Bulls base, the battle against Dante raged on, the tension in the air was suffocating. The Black Bulls were bruised, battered, and barely holding their ground, their exhaustion evident. Asta, however, stood firm, gritting his teeth as his anti-magic roared around him. He was determined to protect his comrades, even if it meant taking on Dante alone.
Suddenly, the atmosphere shifted. A heavy, commanding presence filled the battlefield, and the ground seemed to quake under the weight of immense mana. From above, Yami appeared, his katana gleaming ominously as dark magic coiled around him like smoke.
"Oi, Asta!"
Yami landed beside his squad.
"You've done enough for now. Take a breather, all of you."
Before Asta could protest, another voice echoed through the battlefield, calm but filled with authority.
"You won't be facing this alone anymore."
It was William Vangeance, his glowing World Tree Magic creating a protective barrier around the Black Bulls to give them a moment's rest.
One by one, the Magic Knight Captains appeared, their presence overwhelming. Fuegoleon strode forward, his fiery mane blazing as Salamander roared beside him.
"Dante, was it?"
Fuegoleon, his tone steady yet menacing.
"You've made a grave mistake targeting the Clover Kingdom."
Mereoleona followed with a fiery laugh, her mana flaring wildly.
"Finally, a fight worth my time! Let's see how well you burn!"
Nozel hovered above, his Mercury Magic forming sharp lances aimed at Dante.
"You dared to threaten the kingdom under our protection. You'll pay the price."
Jack's twisted grin widened as his blades hummed with anticipation.
"I've been itching to cut something like you to pieces."
Rill sketched in the air, his artistic magic bursting to life as colorful creatures swirled around him.
"Let's make this battle... unforgettable!"
Charlotte stood poised, her Briar Magic weaving a net of thorns around Dante to trap him.
"You'll regret underestimating us Captains,"
Even Dorothy, the captain of the Coral Peacocks, opened her Dream Magic domain, ready to ensnare the devil in an endless illusion.
As the captains gathered, Yami glanced back at his squad, his eyes softening for a moment.
"Black Bulls, you've done good. Take five—this one's on us now."
His squad hesitated, but the sheer presence of the captains was enough to reassure them. Asta clenched his fists, frustration flickering across his face, but he nodded, stepping back alongside his comrades.
Dante's amused laughter cut through the tense silence.
"What's this? All the so-called elites have come to face me? How delightful! Show me your so-called power, humans!"
His body pulsed with gravity magic, the battlefield trembling violently. Fuegoleon was the first to strike, unleashing a torrent of flames that roared toward Dante. Mereoleona followed with feral speed, her blazing fists colliding with Dante's defenses in rapid succession.
Yami and Jack flanked him, Yami's dark slashes disrupting Dante's regeneration while Jack's adaptive blades carved deeper into his defenses. Nozel's mercury lances struck with deadly precision, forcing Dante to redirect his gravity magic to shield himself. Charlotte's briars wrapped around his limbs, momentarily restraining him, while Dorothy's illusions disoriented him, pulling him into a world of chaos.
