As Mars saw that the number of his opponents was increasing, he made more clones of himself out of his magic.

"It is the strong who remain, while the weak fade away. The battlefield is a place of power. There is no place for the weak."

"Is that so....then let's see if you can live up to those words."

Asta quickly dashed behind Mars and swung his sword. When his blade connected, his eyes became wide when he noticed that he attacked a clone.

"I fully intend to."

When Asta lifts his head, he saw Mars swing down his arm as the sword made from his magic followed his lead. Seeing this, Asta jumped high in the air and swung his blade. When his sword made contact with Mars' blade, the blade made of magic was sliced in half. Asta landed on the broken blade and ran forward.

Asta jumped off the broken blade as he swung his sword at Mars. This resulted in Mars being flung towards the ceiling. Soon Mars began to fall towards the ground. The diamond mage spun his body as he coats his hand with his magic. Seeing this Asta smirked as he swung his sword.

When Mars' hand made contact with Asta's sword, the crystals around it broke apart as he felt the full force of Asta's sword swing. Mars was sent flying backwards as he fell in the water that was in the area.

"As long as i'm here.....no one is going to die!!!!!"

~Meanwhile~
As Kyoya was walking forward, he saw light at the end of the  path ahead of him. However, the ominous feeling never left his body. As the illusion of someone from his past kept holding him closely, she smiled.

"Kyoya....you know you can't win at your state. You should run. Just leave them behind. You need to get much stronger. After all, if you show up now and give them hope...it'll bring them more despair when they see you die. Plus what if they see your grimoire. Will they still see you as an ally or will they betray you?"

"Shut up....shut up, shut up, shut up!!!! You don't know anything."

"That mindset and weakness...wasn't that exactly what lead to that incident? That led to your precious teacher's death. Not only her's....but even the death of your only friend."
