""UNLEASH!!!""

In the face of the devestating rays of powerful magic strengthened by the power of the world's natural mana, the low ranking devils charging forward had no other option than to be massacred. Hit head on by the combined power of the Clover Kingdom's Magic Knights and the Heart Kingdom's Spirit Guardians's [True Magic]. The low ranking devils were mowed down and turned into bloody skin rags.

"Ha...Ha... Hell Yeah!" Noelle and Mimosa cheered after seeing the aftermath.

'That Dryad lady was right! As long as you possess overwhelming power, you can kill low ranking devils without needing to be Arcane!'

"Fufufufu." A dark chuckle echoed out as four new devils whose magic was far stronger and dreadful than the previous stepped through the gate and saw the disfigured corpses of the low ranking devils.

"Hey Luck-

"I know." He cut her off as his smile threatened to tear itself off his face.

"They're mid-ranking devils."

Ultimate Magic, the esoteric art of the elves. A powerful technique that requires the caster to posses an incredible amount of mana that even normal elves can't achieve. A power outside the grasps of humanity.

At least it was.

Brimming with an unnatural amount of mana that far outstripped anything that a human should be capable of, Luck's voice echoed out as he took a step forward.

"Would ya look at that."

*Grins*

"I've found the perfect playmates."

"Huh? What is this human talking abou-

[Ultimate Lightning Magic: Lightning Battle Fiend]

Vanishing from sight and moving so fast that the mid ranking devils couldn't even catch a glimpse of his shadow, what happened next was hard to believe.

The necks, limbs and torsos of the devils had been ripped to shreds as a grinning Luck clutched the severed heads of two of the four devils and looked back at the rest from over his shoulder.

"Aww, if you can't even see me, how could you be my playmates?"

Barely resemebling a human, by completely embodying his Lightning Magic in its most optimum state, Luck's entire body glowed blue with Lightning Magic. It was as if his body and magic had completely fused into one being and forced him into a state designed for combat.

Based on his appearance alone, he looked like a supercharged version of the state he was in when he was possessed by the elf Lufulu. Retaining his thick thigh-high boots and armoured claws from past spells as well as the two thin lightning horns and two lightning bolt marks that resembled Lufulu's reincarnation tattoos.

Ultimate Magic, the esoteric art of the elves. Something that humans would never have the chance to use since they didn't have the necessary mana... Unless they borrowed it.

Using the 6 months of training in the Heart Kingdom as a foundation, they were able to bypass the mana requirements of Ultimate Magic by borrowing a large amount of the world's natural mana and using it as a substitute.

Thus, they did something no human had ever done before. They obtained Ultimate Magic.

***

Nahamah and Lilith...

The supreme devils of Ice and Fire.

They were strong - Far stronger than the wizard kings that he had fought before.

*ZOOOOM!!!*

Covered in flashes of yellow lightning a dark coloured winds, Grim weaved through the continuous barrage of attacks while marveling at the abilities of the two devils as he was forced to retreat backwards.

"KILL!" "TORTURE!" "BREAK!" "BUTCHER!" "MUTILATE!" "MAIM!" "MANGLE!" "DISMEMBER!"

""WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR SCREAMS!!""

"JUST TRY IT!!" Grim responded with a wild grin and unrestrained laughter.

Ignoring their raw power for a minute, just the fact that they were both capable of respectively turning their bodies into Ice and Fire, all forms of physical attacks became useless. It was amazing! It was a something that even he couldn't do anything about.

*Badump*

'This is Good!'

*TING!*

*Badump!*

'No- THIS IS GREAT!!'

*TING* *TING* *TING*

Deflecting the ice shards and dodging the fireballs like a seasoned pro, with every step he took, the beating of his heart seemed to coincide with his breathing.

He did it, he had found his rhythm!

Somersaulting in the air and twisting just for good measure, he dodged all the attacks aimed at him and gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands.

Fully immersed in the feeling of fighting devils, the beating of his heart echoed in his ears as dark coloured winds started gathering around his blade and intense yellow light flashed through his eyes.

[Breath of the Storm: Second Form - Dark Tempest]

So what if they were immune to physical attacks! As if such a small thing like that could stop him!

Flying above the two, he held the blade horizontally and slashed down at them. What followed next was a huge gust of black wind that manifested out from behind him and fell towards the twin devils.

"Kekekekekeke!! That looks fun!" Facing the downcast of black wind descending upon them, the sound of Nahamah's laughter echoed out as both he and his sister gathered up their magic and raised their mutated arms up to receive the blow.

Seeing this, Grim couldn't help but grin.

"Idiots."

***

Watching the action from the sidelines, Nacht was filled with horror. The devils were far stronger than he had anticipated. If he fought them, there was no doubt in his mind that he wouldn't even last a minute. But Grim... He was actually having fun.

It was incomprehensible. No matter how strong Grim was, the display of power he was showing off right now was completely insane! No- it wasn't the power that left him speechless. It was his degree of control.

Of his body, of his magic, of this fight!

Compared to his fight against Princia and Jester, Nacht could tell his heart was fully in this battle.

Was it because he was fighting against devils?

Are they pulling out his potential?

-Gaaaaaaaghhhh!!!

Pulled out of his thoughts by two inhumane sounding screams, Nacht watched as the ice and fire magic was drowned out by the black wind and how Nahamah & Lilith were submerged in it.

'H-He hurt them!'

[Dark Tempest: What ever this spell came into contact with would be stripped away until nothing remained.]

'This... We can win this!'

Unfortunately, that train of thought was quickly dispersed as those screams transformed into horrifying echos of laughter.

Transforming their bodies into the state of ice and fire, Nahmah and Lilith stood completely uninjured as the wind passed through them.

'No...'

Following Grim's attack, the two vanished from sight as they merged and moved through the ice and fire that had pervaded the area since the battle begun.

[Breath of the Storm: 5th Form - Storm Cage]

Landing near them and raising his sword up high, a black coloured hurricane burst out of his body and engulfed the three of them.

"Oh?" The two devils raised their brows and looked down at their hands in confusion .

"I can't feel my ice."

"He cut off our connection to the outside world."

-That's right.

Grim smirked and slowly walked towards the two. Dragging his blade across the ground so that sparks flew out, he raised the sword up and pointed at the two.

"Now you can't run."
