'Useless...'

'How could I... be so useless...?'

'He planned all of this... Did Lumiere even love me...? Or was it a cruel trick from this demon...?'

Thea continued to stare at the ground with her eyes half opened while the devil held her by the back of her collar. "Your leader doesn't want the humans exterminated. Restoring the elves and that revenge you longed for... All false goals. You merely walked down the path I prepared for you, neatly leading the fools after you. You truly did a splendid job." Zagred continued to talk to Patri.

"It's a lie... It's a lie... It's a lie... It's a lie..."

"In the end, it led you to a future that Licht didn't want; my incarnation, which finally allowed my soul to return to my body; and the fall of the angel that's tasked to bless this world." Zagred laughed.

Patri looked mortified, "It's a lie... I'm... like Licht. I was chosen by the four-leaf clover..."

"Indeed. You were chosen..." Zagred said and smiled more, "as my brilliant, foolish pawn." Then a chuckled, "Excellent work."

Parti screamed as his grimoire started to turn black. "Patri..." Thea muttered with tears forming in her eyes. Zagred continued to laugh. "This is just too amusing! Elves and humans... Your dreams and ambitions make the playthings!"

"Don't give me that crap!"

Zagred turned his head to the two mages, that he left in the rumble, slowly standing up. "You just show up outta nowhere and make a mess of everything, saying you're going to kill our princess." Yuno said, lowly.

"You're super strong and scary, but who the hell do you think you are taking [Y/n] from us?!" Asta growled in his black Asta form.

Yuno's magic increased, "Whatever you are, you piss me off!"

"You're just a piece of shit..."

"...and my dream won't lose to the likes of you!"

They blew the rubble away. Raia struggled to look at Yuno. 'The magic that's welling up from him is changing the objects around him into wind. Is Licht's child... waking up inside him?'

Zagred looked at Asta, 'Oh? His overflowing anti-magic is erasing all of the magic around him. Is his magic resonating with my own?' The devil chuckled. "Storm of Blades!"

Blades began raining from the ceiling. "Asta!" Yuno signed.

"Yeah!" Asta knew what he was thinking. The flew towards storm and combined their abilities to deflect all of the swords. Yuno and Asta continued to fly as fast as they could towards Zagred and [Y/n].

'You and I...'

'...can do this!'

"We have to promise to protect [Y/n] along the way with our lives." Yuno said.

"Like she's a princess." Asta agreed.

They thought about the promise they made to [Y/n]. "If you're going to get in our way, then you can break!" The boys shouted while Asta readied his sword and Yuno reached for [Y/n].

Zegred smirked tossed the girl aside like nothing, leading Yuno to miss grabbing her, but Asta managed to cut him. "Heal." The devil's arm began to heal itself, surprising Yuno and Asta flying above him.

"Damn it! What's going on?" Yuno questioned.

"He can do that?!" Asta questioned as well.

"How impressive that you were able to wound me. Having a spirit and being loved by mana... and the power of a meddlesome comrade who dwells within the five-leaf grimoire that I should have possessed." Zagred said, "I don't know where you came from, but you may have that grimoire."
