chapter 5: the Invasion
The entire Heart Kingdom was on flames. people are running for their lives while the spirit guardians protected the few of the survivors that were escape from the wrath of the Orcs of Mordor. Trees were burning, houses fell apart. An army of 150,000 Orcs marching towards the castle of the Heart Kingdom, with their catapults, ladders, and ships with Sauron leading the front lines. The spirit guardians all felt tired for they couldn't stand to face an amount of Orcs swarming towards them.
" There to many of them! We can't hold them much longer! " Floga the Guardian spirit of fire shouted, using his magic he burned the near by Uruks into dust but there were few more that came in.
" How many are these things!? " Sarado the Guardian spirit of earth said when a single orc manage to wound her with it's sword.
" We have to keep fighting as much as we can, we have to protect the surviving civilians! " Floga said.
Sarado noticed one orc sneaking behind Smurik the Guardian spirit of wind, with a bow with it. She directly called out to him " SMURIK LOOK OUT! "
The single orc shot it's arrow as it went through Smurik's chest. The wind spirit fell down and landed on a house with pain and blood on his chest. He screamed " AAARRRGHH! "
Sarado and the fellow Guardian spirits all look shock seeing one of their comrade got hit, Sarado shouted " SMURIK!! "
The guardian spirits rushed to help him, but the Orcs manage to surround them leaving a dying smurik on the roof. Pointing their spears and swords growling them with their sharp teeth. The spirit guardians of the Heart Kingdom were outnumbered while the rest of the army marched passed them.
" where's Gadjah and Potrof!? We need backup here! " Floga ask Sarado.
" I don't know... " Sarado replied.
Meanwhile Asta, Rill, Charmy, Finral, Milly, and Potrof battled their way to defend the kingdom against the horde of Orcs. Liebe was frustrated about this situation they have. Charmy was riding a giant sheep while punching and crushing the horde one, By one.
" LA! " she screamed.
Rill used his magic and painted two jet fighter planes. it flew above the army and launch multiple missiles, blasted them to bits and flames. He then painted a plasma beam and incinerate all of them. But sadly more Orcs swarmed in, out from the smoke and flames.
Finral's grimoire opened and he chanted his spell while green plasma balls appeared around him " Spatial Magic: Fallen Angel's Wingbeat " The green plasma balls turned into multiple plasma beams, shooting randomly at the horde.
" Gravity Magic: Zero Gravity Zone"
Milly chant her magic spell with her grimoire and create a zero gravity bubble that made the Orcs float inside. Asta then surf towards the zero gravity bubble, took out his Demon-Dweller and Demon Destroyer sword, dashing through the floating horde and slices them one by one with fast speed. " Black Meteorite! " Asta shouted a nd continue to fly around with his Demon Slayer Sword: Black Divider, slashing their heads, and cut them in half while Potrof used vines to tangled them and fling them away.
Charmy is very angry, while arrows went passed her because of the Orcs tried to shoot her with their bow but ended up smashed by her giant sheep with menacing expression. Catapults fired at her but it didn't match against her magic.
At David and Judith's location, the eldest son wield two swords he summoned and slashing at the Orcs multiple times. Judith made a shield of light behind him, blocking the arrows that shoot at them.
" Weapon Magic: Minotaur Axe " a huge ace appeared and he took a big swing, causing a huge wave that blown them away.
Archers fired and Judith tumbling to dodge the arrows and landed on her legs and chanted " Light Magic: Light Gauntlets " the light materialize on her hands to her elbows and form a gauntlet made of light.
" Hah! Ragh! Heya! " She punched the Orcs, blown them away while their armor shattered with their weapons scattered through the ground.
She jumped back and land behind David, feeling exhausted. She screamed and bursts out her light magic turning the Orcs Into ashes. They didn't hesitate to kill them since they're an unknown creatures. Fighting Nomus is way more different than fighting an army of Orcs.
" These things just don't go down! " Judith frustrated said.
" We have to regroup, the civilians are all evacuated in the temple. Queen loropechika already handled the defense, we should find the others! " David informed.
And Judith replied " right! " They took one last hit and fled with the Orcs on their tails.
" Lose arrows!! " An orc commands an hundred arrows shoot out to the sky. Milly quickly reacted and used her Gravity Magic to stop the upcoming arrows. Rill painted both fire and ice then he blasted the archers, freezing and burning both.
The Orc commander or the Uruk growled at the mages and walk towards another Orc " send the signal to lady Jadis " it said. The Orc then took out a horn and blow it as loud as it can.
*VVVVRRRRRRRNNNNNNN!!*
Over the hills in the north another army just marched in but not an army of Orcs but an army of a thousands of Dwarfs, cyclops, Minotaurs, Minoboars, warewolfs, Goblins, Ogres, Hags, Harpy, a pack of wolves, and black bears along with three giants, in short, they're the army of the white witch. Leading the army was none other than Jadis, the White Witch of Narnia herself.
Riding her chariot with two polar bears dragging it, the White Witch took one last look at the slowly falling kingdom while holding her crystal wand. The horn was heard from the distance and the White Witch responded with a smile.
" It's time! General! " Jadis called out her general, Otmin, which is a black male Minotaur wielding a iron axe.
The general respond " yes my queen?"
" they send the signal, lead the front lines to charge in to battle. Make sure we cause more chaos in the name of lord Aether " the White Witch said to the general.
The Minotaur general breathe for bloodlust then roared. The army in the front lines all march down the hill to join Sauron's army.
Asta heard the horn and noticed another army immerge from the burning forest with their blades held out. The army of the White Witch charge in to battle, while Milly and Charmy rushed at them.
" Oh come on! There's another one!? " Finral's eyes widened in shock from another army appeared.
" no... This time it's a mix of different creatures! " Potrof said.
Rill then said " are those Dwarfs and Minotaurs!?"
" La!? Dwarfs!? " Charmy was surprised, she too is a dwarf, but a half blood.
" Rain fire at the sheep!! " A Dwarf shouted and so the rest of the dwarfs fired their arrows at Charmy's giant sheep.
" damnit all! " Milly said and blasted a Minotaur away. " Gravity Magic: Planetarium Chamber! " The ground shook and then the dirt and stones all gathered and trapped the Cyclops and Minotaurs inside a huge ball of dirt and smashed it down to the ground.
" Damn it! I'm almost out of Mana! " Milly thought and retreated back to the group.
Meanwhile Sauron crushed a man with a grimoire, trying to fight back. He grabbed a woman and swung his mace at her and died while pinned on a wall. The people of heart Kingdom all ran as fast as they could to escape the Dark lord. He then cornered another girl with a blue grimoire, she tried to use her magic and launch a rock at him but with no effect. She was shaking in fear looking at his helmet with the reflection of death she couldn't escape, it's hopeless.
Until Sauron felt a presence heading towards him. He slowly turn around whil the girl stood her ground. When the Dark lord saw that it was none other than the White Witch herself.
" So they already send the signal, Jadis... " Sauron said.
" Indeed my friend. Are you gonna finish her off? " Jadis ask the Dark lord while gesturing at the girl who is about to be smashed by his mace.
She went beside him and leaned close to her eyes " she's scared alright. Hehe you did a good job of what lord Aether ordered you to do. But let this girl be my prey if I may? " She said.
" *Sigh* fine. She's all yours, after all, I was willing to accept his orders " Sauron replied and stepped back.
" Please... S-spare me... I-i.... I-i'll do anything...! Please don't kill me! " The girl stuttered.
" Let me ask you, girl " Jadis said. While leaning her face at her's " Are you magicless..? " she ask.
The girl shook her head in response
" N-no... "
Jadis ask again " But do you want to be magicless..? " But the girl respond to a 'no' again.
" N-no...! " She said.
" Hmm... To bad. " She took out her crystal wand and then she said "now... Perish!! " She stab the wand into the girls chest and she screamed in pain and in seconds, she turned to stone.
Jadis walk away and Sauron smashed the girl statue into rubble " Lord Aether send me a message, he spotted three of the defenders of this kingdom" he said to Jadis.
She stopped and turned around to look back at him and ask " where are they? "
" Not far. Just a few houses on the east. He wants them to be eliminated " he said, pointing at the location of the three spirit guardian's location.
" You want me to deal with them on my own? " Jadis said.
And Sauron replied, looking at her in the eye within his malicious helmet
" the king's orders "
" Hmph! Very well " she said and so she hopped back to her chariot and so her polar bears dragged her towards their location.
David and Judith arrive at where Asta and the other's were. As they saw them struggling against the Orcs, Minotaurs, Cyclops, Warewolfs, and two giants swinging their clogs.
" You got to be kidding me... " David said in shock.
" David! Judith! " Finral called.
" Guys! " David shouted and rushed to join the battle.
" Light Magic: Arch Angel Spears " Judith chanted her spell and shoot multiple light spears at the two giants. One died and the other manage to block her attack.
" I already said this and I'll said it again. HOW MANY ARE THESE THINGS!! " Milly shouted in annoyance.
" Guys! Charmy is in trouble! She's been cornered " Finral shouted.
As they saw Charmy's giant sheep was tangled with ropes around it by a bunch of flying ugly harpies. Minotaurs pulled a rope below it's legs and manage to trip it down.
" La!! " Charmy fell from its head after her sheep tripped and her comrades all watch in horror.
" Charmy!! " They all cried out her name and luckily Charmy reacted and used her magic to save herself, she created a soft floating cloud and started flying around her struggling giant sheep.
" Safe! Oi get up! " She screamed and the ropes went through the giant sheep's cloudy wool.
" BAAaaaaaa!!! " It continue smashing the enemies aroun them and Asta jumped out of his flying sword and began slashing every creature who got close to him while running straight to Charmy's position.
Rill painted more fighter jets and then he painted a giant green monster with horns and sharp teeth, aiding the giant sheep on crushing the Orcs and other creatures.
Potrof noticed his mana drained already and was about to get killed by a Minotaur. Thankfully David shoot an arrow at it and save the spirit guardian's life.
" Thanks kid " Potrof said.
" Your welcome " David replied.
Meanwhile Loropechika continued using her water spirit magic to defend her people while watching the new upcoming horde of mix creatures charging with the Orcs. She then watch where Gadjah is and felt worried as he slaughtered every last one of them.
" When do this end...? How long do we last? " the queen questioned in her thought, hoping for this nightmare to end.
____________________________________________________________________________
At the villain faction base y/n watched the three struggling members of the spirit guardians, waiting for the White Witch Jadis to arrive. He had just told Sauron to continue killing the rest of the civilians while some were captured.
" The Dark lord and the White Witch did a great job " Salem commented in awe.
" Black and White, working each other to crush the Heart. His plans are gone smoothly as it is " Ophis said while watching the big warp window in front of them.
" I wonder when we'll invade Union. This plan is making me feel desperate to go there and show the heroes our strong forces" All for one said.
" Patience my friend, lets not give our king some pressure. He seems kinda focusing on the events that's happening today, we must not interrupt " Salem said to All for one.
Then an unexpected happen when two people walked in the throne room getting y/n's attention and saw a white tan skin man wearing a preist and a woman with black long hair with long elf like pointy ears wearing a black long dress.
They kneeled before the king of Villains and y/n look down at them and so the white hair preist said
" We have arrive just as you requested Master "
" good. I want to hear your reports from the task that I gave you yesterday, so how's the assassination of the stray exorcists going? " y/n ask the white hair preist.
He replied " we succeeded eliminating our current targets before they went to their victims. I have Pennywise feasted their souls so that the underworld and heaven couldn't noticed "
" Right now, we tried to track down our last target, Freed Sellzen, one of Kokabiel's pawn during his nearly attempt plan in starting another great war. He who escape from the Union heroes grasp and went missing for two years after the battle of Union " the woman said.
" Have Archer accompany you for this hunt. She'll be useful for this, I guess you all know her capabilities since you once work with her during your great war " y/n said.
" Very well Master we'll do as you please " the preist replied.
" Go finished what I given to you, Shirou Amakusa and Semiramis " y/n said, revealing their names as one of his summoned servants, Shirou Amakusa, the ruler, and Semiramis, Wise Queen of Assyria, the assassin.
" As you wish master! " They bowed and left the throne room, while Salem, Ophis, and All for one watch in awe of his leadership.
" Hmph you became a fine king, kid " All for one complimented him.
" Thank you All for one " y/n replied.
" Leading us villains will bring a clear win against the heroes. The winner of this war has already been decided " Ophis said.
" And now you're using famous heroes in history against them! You surprised us yet again hehaha! " Salem said.
" Ironic it is that we are the ones who served while you who rules " All for one said.
" As long as we win, and my mission shall be completed. This world will no longer need heroes or even us villains exist" y/n said while continued to watch the invasion of the Heart Kingdom.
" So you'll dispatch us in the end? " Ophis said in concern for herself.
" Nope. I'll grant you anything you desire, as long as the innocents shall be spared without us exist. It's time that the age of heroes and villains to end and the age of freedom and change shall rise " y/n said.
" So you'll reforging the world by violence, terror, and genocide? " All for one questioned.
" For both my vengeance and my mission, yes. And like I said before, the superhumans and the supernaturals shall die! " y/n replied with narrowed eyes.
____________________________________________________________________________
Back to the invasion, the White Witch has succeeded on killing the three spirit guardians: Sarado, Floga, and Smurik. They were turned to statues by Jadis and she's the only one who stood last and claim as a easy win.
" How shame. They didn't even give a challenge, I suppose I'll give Sauron's Orcs some credit " Jadis said. While walking towards her chariot, leaving the spirit guardian status standing.
The citizens who hide from the rocks, trees, and destroyed houses saw this and feel despair seeing their protectors no more.
" No... "
" It's hopeless, the spirit guardians "
" There all... Stone "
" Were Doom! "
Jadis laughed at their despair, the people they adore, the protectors they rely, all fell to stone " hear me and witnessed your so called protectors have fallen by my hands! They die for nothing but foolish death. Who's gonna save you now!? Heheh... That's right. NO ONE!! " the white witch screamed causing them to feel hopeless.
Meanwhile Loropechika witnessed the horror of three of the spirit guardians defeat, assume dead by watching them turned to stone. She, Noelle and Mimosa could not believe what they witnessed. Yet Gadjah and Potrof didn't know yet, things have slowly falling apart.
" Impossible, how is that possible. It's only just her reflexes, with just her sword and her wand! how could she beat them with no grimoire or quirk at all. This woman... Is far too dangerous than I realized. Asta... Everyone... Please... Save as many as you can! " She thought after watching her people slowly getting slaughtered and yet some were spared.
Then Noelle thought when she saw the Orcs spared a mother and a daughter during the massacre she couldn't believe they spared them but the rest " wait, why would they spare them? Did they take pity?"
She then called out at the queen of heart and ask " loropechika, do you recognize those two!? "
Loropechika look to where Noelle pointed at, noticed the mother and daughter were in the middle of the horde with the Orcs ignoring them. She was shocked and confused as to why.
She then answered to Noelle " yes I know them. That's Mrs. Lea and her daughter Ana, they're one of the citizens who possess no magic but Lea's husband had one but died. Why were they spared, what's going on!? "
Then Noelle pointed out through some of the people that were spared
" And do you know these people as well? "
Loropechika widened and answered
" Mark, Greece, Jessica, and Rico. Their also one of the magicle- wait... No this doesn't make any sense! " she stop and realized something.
" What do you mean? " Mimosa questioned.
" These creatures... They're Sparing the people without magic! " The queen said In shock.
Mimosa widened in shock and Noelle screamed " WHAT!? "
" I know... But why... Why do they spare them while killing the ones with magic!? " Loropechika said.
Fire continued to spread across the village while screams of fear and death was heard along with ashes and blood ponds. Steel and iron clash like lightning, growling and roaring with the will to kill by bloodlust.
David and the others all stepped back after they finished slaying the current Orc while another horde immerge in front of them. Fear and frustration they felt, unlike facing Grimm and an army of the Khaos Brigade this is different compared to the battle they had six months ago.
Finral was protecting Charmy while she was protecting him from behind. Potrof couldn't last long by exhaustion, they can't stop the horde, they can't stop the invasion. It's the entire body of blood thirsty monsters came to kill them with unknown reason to them.
" There's to many of them... We can't hold them off " Rill said while panting.
Then Asta raised his anti magic sword and screamed " Damnit! " Then he slashed away the near by Orcs and Minotaurs. Suddenly he's in his black form or in this case his base Devil form.
[ "We have to head back to the queen. All the citizens have been evacuated" ] Liebe said to Asta.
" And let them take over the kingdom!? " Asta shouted at him that caught everyone's attention.
" Asta what's wrong? " Judith ask.
" Liebe suggest we should retreat to loropechika and let these guys swarming throughout the kingdom! " He replied.
" I guess that's a good option! " Finral said while blasting some plasma beam at the horde.
" And let them killing all the citizens here!? " Milly said in anger, pushing the horde back with her Gravity Magic.
" The citizens have been evacuated, we must head back to the temple and hold the line there while waiting for backup at Union " David said, then he create a Sparta shield and slammed it at a Minotaur then Charmy's giant sheep crushed it with it's foot.
Then Potrof said " I don't think they'll be arriving soon. We can't hold them off for long, who knows how many these things are there "
" Then we have to think of a plan to avoid them from entering the temple" David replied.
" Plans aside, we have to find a way to get out of here and regroup to Leopold, luck, and the rest of the spirit guardians " Rill said while he used his magic and painted two giant green ogres, crushing the horde one by one.
Milly shouted " where are they then!?"
" Last time we saw them they were heading east " Judith replied.
" Then we'll head east and find them, then we'll retreat at the temple " Potrof said.
" I can teleport us somewhere 10 kilometers from there, but I doubt there won't be these things running around " Finral said and open a portal to the nearest area to the east location.
" Then let's go! " David said and everyone went through finral's portal.
Charmy deactivate her magic and the giant sheep disappeared and Asta deactivate his black form and followed David.
Back to where Jadis was, the white witch continued to turn the people to stone. While walking pass the trees and houses, ice started to cover the entire area near her. People ran as fast as they could to escape from her sight and, but some were unlucky to succeed.
" No! No, please! Hah!!- " a man was turned into a statue then his grimoire was burned by Jadis with her wand. And she resume on killing the rest.
She took a breath and smoke come out of her mouth by the coldness she brought. People turning into stone one by one, Orcs and her army rampaging the village, and Sauron walking towards the temple with Nazguls and the witch king flew above him.
" Poor unfortunate souls, i know what it feels like. To lose, To die. I felt it and I faced it. But unfortunate for you, there's no one will ever save you. No Peter, no Aslan, no one " Jadis said while watching her victims behind her.
Innocent people, now what's left is just a bunch of statues. She walk with death and she'll bring death with her to them.
Then she felt a strong presence. Two figures heading towards her position. She could sense Mana in them, she grip both her dagger and her wand. closing her eyes, waiting patiently for the ones she'll face next.
" Hurry luck, we're getting close! " She heard a voice of a young boy calling out his friend's name.
It was Leopold Vermilion and Luck Voltia. Running towards the east to regroup to the spirit guardians. Unlucky to them they stumbled upon a woman in white, with statues of innocent people that she had victimized.
They both widened in shock and horror, witnessing the statues in front of her. Jadis turned around and her eyes meet between theirs. Leopold's expression went to anger at the woman, luck glared at her with his lightning magic zapped around him.
" Those statues... " Luck said to Leopold. And as the youngest child of the Vermilion family he stood face to face at the white witch.
He glared and said " you! What did you do to them!? "
" What I was ordered to do " Jadis replied.
A grimoire float near Leopold, and he stare at her with fire came out of his hands. He then said " you Villain! You will pay for the lives you've taken!! "
" then give me your shot, fire boy " Jadis mockingly said to Leopold making him more angrier.
" Let's go, luck! " Leopold said.
And luck replied then his arms and legs were covered in armor made out of lightning " right.. " he said with a will to kill.
The blond mage dashed towards the witch with light speed. while dashing towards her, luck Is about to punch her with his lightning gauntlet but surprisingly the white witch successfully dodge his attack by bending her body backwards and used her dagger to prevent her from falling. Both Leopold and luck was shock at her flexibility, Jadis stood up and look back at luck who quickly reflect his movements from the ground and change his course, dashing towards her.
" Is that all you got? " Jadis said.
" Not yet!! " Screamed Luck.
He went fast as fast as lightning, the white witch keep on dodging away from his attacks. Blocking his fist with her blade, she then saw an opening and quickly grab luck at his robe and fling him towards Leopold.
" you petty little child, let me teach you to not underestimate me! " the witch used her magic to create multiple illusion copies of herself, surrounding the two magic knights.
Leopold started shooting flames at her clones, and all together they raised their wands and used their magic, creating multiple floating daggers made out of ice.
The crimson lion mage dodge her flying ice daggers and keep on burning every single one of her clones with luck swinging his arms at them, to find the real Jadis.
____________________________________________________________________________
Meanwhile y/n gaze into the battlefield with a slight grin, watching the white witch battling against the magic knights with her magic, while holding back, he can tell she's toying with luck and Leopold, for him knowing Jadis's full capabilities.
" Jadis the white witch, her powers are quite powerful compared to the other sorcerers in this world, she could just create winter throughout the four wizard kingdoms, she is malicious and master at mischief and manipulation. She is definitely perfect for this task " y/n thought while he observed Jadis, then he changed his spectator warping window and focused on Sauron, killing the citizens with his Mace.
He thought " Sauron, Dark lord of middle earth, one of the powerful villains in my ranks, even though he was only a right hand servant of the previous Dark lord, Morgoth, he had proved to show what true malice, death, darkness, and cruelty really means. hmm maybe I could revive him from the void and ordered him to fought alongside Sauron, oh that'll be even more interesting "
" My lord "
Y/n heard a call, he look down upon his throne and saw a orc, kneeling at him.
" What brings you here? " He ask.
" My lord, reports from the scouts, apparently there is an unknown group just arrived in the Invasion " the Orc replied.
" Oh? Have you identified them? "
The Orc then said " Yes my lord, they call themselves the ' Dark Disciples' of the Spade kingdom. they are under command by their leader, Vanica, one of the members of the Dark Triad "
" Hmm.. the Dark Triad, I see... " Y/n already heard about the Dark Triad, he was expecting this to happen, attacking their enemies will caught their attention.
" this could be interesting, the enemies of the three mage kingdoms now arrived unexpectedly " Ophis said.
" I do wonder... What is their purpose of being there? " Salem questioned.
" It's quite obvious is it not? They're here for the queen " All for one replied.
Y/n said " the queen of the heart kingdom? She's currently defending her people against Sauron's forces. With them on the scene it will be troublesome for both sides "
" A third party has entered the fray " Ophis said.
Y/n look back at the Orc and said
" report this to your lord, he and the white witch must know their presence, at once! "
" As your wish, my king" the Orc bow and ran passed the door.
" If I may my lord, I have some business with Maleficent about the Grimm " Salem said then she walk away from her seat.
" We should give you some privacy, lord y/n " All for one said as he and Ophis left their thrones.
" Go on ahead " y/n replied.
The door shut leaving the villain king alone to spectate the invasion. He watched as Jadis weakened Leopold and Luck with their clothes dirty, and also saw David and his friends ran towards their location.
____________________________________________________________________________
The fight was chaotic, Leopold couldn't keep up with the witches skills, he used every spell he had but he only hit her once.
Luck kept attacking her as she produced more clones, finding the original is impossible, their physical bodies were so solid as the original just like Naruto's shadow clones.
" Tsk! How is this possible!? She has multiple magic affinities without a grimoire, this is bad... I have to think of something " Leopold thought.
" It's pointless for trying, child " Jadis said to Luck " your magic is very special, you impressed me yet, but yours won't match against mine! "
She created multiple fire balls at Luck, dodging them with multiple truns, kicking, punchier, everything he could to find the original Jadis.
" You won't get away with this, villain!" Leopold used his flames to birn down all clones at once, only the original stood alone.
" Oh the feel of close victor, I could smell it coming~ " Jadis said.
" Not for you...! " Luck dashes through the air but unexpected happened, he was consumed by a black mist created by the white witch.
" Luck!! " Leopold ran to save him, But he was cought by the mist as well.
_____________________________
___________________
___________
Everything was dark, the mist surrounded them in the endless void. Luck stood patiently for what's to happen, he still had his grimoire with him, he tried to break free with his magic but he only keeps bouncing back to where he stood.
The mist continued to circle around him, with no daylight was seen, only the light of his magic that helped him see through this dark void.
" Luck... "
The blonde magic knight widened as he heard a familiar voice calling his name.
" Luck... "
There it is again, the voice keep calling his name throughout the dark shadows of the mist.
" Luck...... "
It was a woman's voice, a familiar one that Luck haven't heard of her for a long time.
" Luck... "
" M-mom...? "
When suddenly light covered the darkness, the place he stood change to a wide grass field with flowers bloom around him, a house was seen on the hill and there stood in front of him, a blond woman smiling at him. It was Luck's mother, who passed away before he joins the black bulls.
" Luck" she said towards her son now grown up.
" H-how!? I-i thought- " his mother hugged him and smiled.
" I missed you, so much.. " she whispered.
" Mom... I... " Tears slowly running down through his cheeks as he felt the warm embrace from his long dead mother.
" It's okay now, I'm here "
------------------------------
Leopold opened his eyes and noticed that he is back in the crimson lion headquarters.
" Wait... What? Why am I here? " He said.
He stood up and look around, hoping to find the answer as to how he got there. He went outside and into the courtyard, no one was there, it's just him, alone standing with endless silence. But there was one thing he realized...
... Luck was not with him.
He searched every corner of the headquarters but no sign of Luck, but suddenly when he blinked he was back at the courtyard.
" What..? " He panicked, It's like he's in a limbo.
He decided to leave the headquarters to find his friends, or maybe the wizard king. But then just as he blinked he's back at the courtyard again.
" This isn't real... This... This is an illusion! " Leopold figure it out. What Jadis did was a illusion she created for the both of them.
" I have to find luck... " Leopold tried to ruh away but keeps on returning back from the courtyard like a spawn point in every video game he played.
" Damnit! Luck! Where are you!? "
Silence... There was no response.
" There you are, Leopold! "
His eyes widened as he heard a familiar voice, calling to him. He turned around and saw his elder brother Fuegoleon, standing before him.
" Fuegoleon... " He couldn't believe that he saw his older brother face to face.
" Hmm? What's with that face? Snap out of it Leopold, you look like you've seen a dead man? " He said to him.
Until Leopold snapped, he shook his head and realized that this is part of the white witch's illusion.
" No... You're not real... You're not big brother Fuegoleon! "
" What are you talking about, Leopold, it's me! "
" No!! You're just a illusion! This is a trick, I know this is your doing! " He shouted, pointing at the fake Fuegoleon.
" I don't know what nonsense is this your talking about little brother, but this has to end, stop joking around " Fake Fuegoleon said.
" I won't be fooled by you, villain! I won't let myself be tricked by some... Witch! " Leopold shouted as he saw the Fake Fuegoleon glitched himself, replacing some familiar parts, revealing to none other than Jadis, it backed away as the heat increased from the area.
" I'll burn you to ashes!! " Flames burst out all around burning the clone Jadis as she screamed in agony.
Finally the Illusion slowly faded in his surroundings, Leopold looked around, trying to find Luck, once he spotted the blonde magic knight, he widened in horror...
------------------------------
Few minutes ago
------------------------------
Luck kept hugging his mother while crying, then she whipped his tears away.
" How is this possible!? You're supposed to be- "
" Dead? I know, I get to have a chance to see you one last time, Luck " she smiled as she wrapped her arm around him.
" I missed you... " Luck said.
" I know, I'm here now, we got a chance to catch up " his mother said.
" I still had that promise you gave me" Luck smiled.
" I have won many battles, mom! It all thanks to my friends, we won a war 6 months ago, I defeated some enemies, I always win, just like I promised " Luck said happily.
" I know, I'm so happy that you have someone to care for you, I'm happy that you still kept your promise " she whispered.
For many years, Luck always smiles in every moment of his life. Now he could feel the happiness he never felt before, he got to see his mother again. The wind flows through his hair, through the grass and flowers.
" Now tell me... Why are you here in the Heart kingdom? " His mother ask.
" We were chosen by the wizard king to be trained here for 6 months, there was another enemy we must face, The Dark Triad. They are the current rulers of the Spade kingdom, they were Devil host just like my friend Asta. But just you wait mother, I'll make sure we will win this fight! " Luck said.
His mother went silent, she look at her son with strange look. Luck was confused, he was expected a reaction but nothing.
" Mom? Is something wrong?"
" Oh no it's fine Luck, I'm just having a long thought, to be honest I'm worried for you Luck. You will have to face a Devil with a possibility for you to get killed. I won't be expecting you to see each other in the afterlife so soon " she said in a worried tone.
Luck hugged his mother again, trying to give her hope " don't worry, I'll be okay, I got my friends backing me up. So you don't have to worry about me"
" I'm sure you will son...
...
...
...
...
...
...
... To bad you won't be there by their side either "
*SHUNK!!*

Luck suddenly felt pain in his gut, he widened in shock, in horror, his body suddenly feel cold, he can't move his legs then his arms.
He looked down and noticed a crystal wand in his stomach, stabbing through his flesh as his body slowly turned to stone.
" I'm sorry, child. No hard feelings, okay? " she said with a smug face.
The illusion now slowly faded, the mist now disappeared, and then his supposed mother was none other than Jadis, she stabbed her wand at Luck as he slowly turned to stone. Leopold witnessed it, he watched in horror as he failed to save his friend.
David and the rest arrived in time, but they all stopped when they witnessed Luck's demise. David, Rill, Potrof, Charmy, & Finral widened in shock, Asta feel to his knees, Judith covered her mouth in horror, & Milly cried while she almost collapse.
Loropechika, Noelle, Mimosa, Undine, and Nero (in her bird form, watching the invasion from the skies) saw this in shock.
" LUCK!!! " They all cried out cried out his name.
He saw the glow of his grimoire died down and fell. Jadis look back towards Leopold, she pointed her sword at him, smiling.
Anger consumed him, he screamed by rage and creates a huge wave of flames towards the White Witch, She slice the flames in half with her wand.
The fire directly disappeared and Jadis is already in front of Leopold, the young crimson lion magic knight widened as time slowed around him when her wand was about to pierced through his chest to turn him into stone, the same way she did to Luck.
But then, he heard a raging roar...
" Rrrrraaaaghh! "
" wha-!? " Jadis couldn't finished her shock when something fast dashing at her as fast as the wind.
It was all blurry and black, she was pushed away by the strong force she felt when it she feel like a sword have swung at her. She crashed through the trees with a strong impact, she shook her head and suddenly felt pain right through her left arm. Her left arm... She couldn't feel it, it's gone, her left arm was cut off.
" Haaaarggh!!" Jadis screamed in agony, blood continued to gush out from the lost of her arm.
" Curses! WHO DID THAT!!? YOU PAY FOR THIS!! " she screamed.
She look over to where she stood once and saw Asta in his Devil Union form standing beside Leopold, looking mad like a wild beast. With a glare, Jadis could feel the demonic power he produced.
" That boy... No... He's one of the king's targets, the Devil boy... " The witch glared over to the Devil.
With Luck's demise, Asta is blinded by anger of losing his friend. Leopold look at him in worry.
" Asta... " He said.
" Rest Leopold. Let me take care of this... SHE'S MINE!!! " Asta said with a killing intent.
Leopold replied in a nod, he may have wanted to avenge Luck, he wanted to fight as well, but Asta's anger made him decided to stand down. The gang ran towards him then carries him in the near tree, while Charmy used her magic to carry a Luck in his statue form.
David walk beside Asta, summoned a broad sword, ready to fight along side him. But Asta gestured him to stop, David look towards the Devil host magic knight in confusion.
" No, David. This is my fight, you get everyone to the temple. Just let me do this... Please... For Luck " Asta plead him. David had second thought, but he signed and slowly turn back.
" make her pay... " David said.
After everyone left the field, Asta stand alone, facing against the wounded white witch, as she glared in anger towards him, Asta's hatred is more greater than her's.
[ "Becareful Asta, she may have lost an arm. But her magic is unknown to us, she has a strong Mana and many affinities, she doesn't own a grimoire either. Her's are just like Salem and Ozpin, she's a mystery Asta, and she's not to be underestimated" ] Liebe said telepathy to Asta.
" We'll see about that... " Asta replied. Emitting his demonic Aura around him, Jadis could feel it from a far.
" There is no way I'll be able to face him head on. Lord Aether warned us lower ranks to avoid his targets! If only Sauron was present... " She thought.
In just a second, Asta appeared above her raising his Demon Destroyer Sword, when he swung the blade down, Jadis jumped away, avoiding getting cut in half. With only her single arm the White Witch is half defenseless, she can't fight with one arm. Asta keep on attacking Jadis, with hopes if getting a hit, the witch had good reflexes she hasn't got a hit from his sword every attack.
Jadis recovered her wand, luckily it didn't shattered from Asta's sword, she used her magic and create hurricanes at the boy, but he sliced the hurricane in half with his Anti Magic and so it disappeared.
The battle continued with chaos were created by Asta's berserk rage. Rocks crumbling, Trees burning, Thunder crashing, and Blood spilling. The Roar of the vengeful boy echoed throughout the land.
____________________________________________________________________________
Meanwhile Noelle witnessed his anger, she held her hand onto her chest, she felt worried of Asta, being consumed by his anger with the 'Death' of Luck, Mimosa cried at seeing Luck's defeat. Loropechika feel sorry for their lost, Fana feel guilty, she thinks that it was her fault. If she had stayed beside Patri she could have just gave them some time to be prepared for the invasion that they weren't expecting to happen.
" Asta... " Noelle murmured.
Nero returned from the sky as she transformed back to her human form, standing beside Mimosa, as the Vermilion girl, whipped her tears with a handkerchief that Nero just gave her.
____________________________________________________________________________
" Die!! " Asta shouted, almost sounded like Bakugou, as he swung his sword at the white witch. Jadis creates a wall of Ice to block of the coming blade, slice! It shattered like a block of crystal glass.
The fight was chaotic, with Asta on the upper hand, Jadis struggles to fight back. But with his blinding rage, she outsmart him, creating a ball of fire as a distraction Asta sliced it in half as always but he suddenly stopped when he was grabbed by the ice at his lower half and his arms.
" Damnit! " He thought.
Using his strength, he manage to crack the ice and free himself from his binding " I'm not done with you yet!! " He shouted.
" !? "
" You will pay for what you did to Luck!! " Asta flew towards her with the amount of speed, Jadis reacted fast.
" Be silent! " Two pillars of water came out from the river behind her and went over to Asta.
Blocking with both Demon Destroyer and Demon Slayer swords, Asta slowly dragged back by the pressure of the water. He felt like Noelle's Water Dragon's Roar spell but much bigger than here's.
" Hhhrrragh! " Asta swung away the water with Demon Slayer, Jadis levitate five boulders and throw it at Asta.
Asta scream when the blade of the Demon Slayer sword suddenly grew bigger than the kingdom walls, using the blade itself, destroying the flying boulders one by one.
" Such power...! " Jadis thought in shock " I have to find an opening.. "
Dodging the huge sword with her acrobatic reflexes, Jadis ran circles around him creating a green mist, and began surrounding the young magic knight, Thunder it's what her heard all around him.
[ " Asta, watch out! " ] Liebe said then lightning came out from the green mist and Asta managed to dodged it.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Multiple lightning zap at Asta with him blocking and dodging on every strike it takes.
But out of the blue, Jadis appeared in front of him, and as her wand was about to stab him in the chest, Asta summoned his third sword Demon Dweller, and fall right towards the witch, she jumped away, avoiding the falling sword above her, and Asta managed to save himself from turning to stone.
Jadis wave her wand then the green mist gathered to her, after pointing her wand at Asta, a strong wave of green mist consumed him making him blown away by the pressure of the mist.
Asta dodged a upcoming Ice daggers, shooting repeatedly from Jadis, with his words shielding himself her attacks continued. The boy suddenly disappeared shocking Jadis, he appeared behind her and successfully took another hit by hitting her with the blade of Demon Destroyer, blood spilled from her face with a glare of hatred towards him, she screamed and three hurricanes ran towards Asta.
With his Anti Magic, he erased her attacks and flew straight to Jadis
" your done! "
" Not yet!! " Vines grew around them, grabbing Asta then slamming him to the ground.
One by one the vines threw him, slamming him, wounded him with it's thorns causing him to let go both Demon Destroyer and Demon Slayer.
" Gagh! "
[ " ASTA! " ] Liebe called out to him as Asta got up slowly.
" I'm fine Liebe.. "
[ We can't last long, we have to- look out! " ] Multiple vines attacked him, grabbing Demon Dweller, slicing them into pieces and the boy is struggling to fight back.
Asta jumped and land at one one the vines, running towards Jadis with her eyes locked on him, Demon Destroyer appeared behind him and so he jumped on his flying sword, cutting every vines it passes.
" I WON'T LET YOU!! " Creating a huge ball of flames that has the same form as the sun, flying over at the young magic knight.
____________________________________________________________________________
Loropechika, Noelle, Mimosa, Nero, even the third eye watched in awe, never thought they would witnessed a battle like this.
Noelle took a deep breath, and shouted at the magic window " ASTA!! WIN!! "
Vetto could remember the same human child that defeated him in their first meeting at the underwater temple. He smirked as he watched another fight he had witnessed, he knew that this will be another win for Asta.
" You can do this, Asta... " Fana muttered, hoping they could win for once.
" Win, kid. You better win " Rhya thought as he gaze through the fight.

The God of Darkness could feel the white witch have weakened, confidently believe she will lose, it was obvious from the start. Asta and Liebe may be 4 rate class compare to him in power and strength, but he admitted those who are weak below them, will tremble before them.
" She will lose... " He said to y/n.
" I noticed " y/n replied, unfazed by the obvious result of her battle, it may be entertaining t see them struggle, but it was short while it lasted.
" The plan hasn't fallen apart. Even if she lose, Sauron will took care of everything " the God of Darkness said.
" But on the other hand, I feel pity for Jadis. This is her first task here and yet she'll lose in a battle " y/n said.
" Are you suggesting of helping her?" The God said.
" ... " y/n didn't replied as he watched how Asta has grown with his demonic power.
Asta & Izuku were just like him, born with no special gifts and yet fate had made them of what they are right now. But why not him? Why not everybody else who just like them? It's unfair, they are all unfair, bastards who chooses who's worthy of being the lucky one thinks that they could change anything, But no. It didn't change anything. He felt envious, looking at his once friend disgust him. And for Lucks demise? He felt nothing for him, they broke their friendship, and who have the dumbest mind for him to care.
After seeing Asta's rage, he knew his heart has suffered, he made another good idea after this fight, and it has Luck all over it.
____________________________________________________________________________
Demon Destroyer expanded, swinging the sword upwards, cutting the fire ball in half create a huge explosion behind him.
The witch of Narnia widened in fear as her supposed death is upon her, in her vision she saw a demon ready to consumed her. She don't wanna die a second time, she died by a powerful lion, she don't wanna die by a Devil host child.
" Hhhhhhhuuuuurraaaaaggghhh!!" Asta screamed like it's his last strike.
As he was about to approached her with blinding rage Jadis thought she had a chance to stab him with her wand, but Asta swing Demon Dweller at it and shattered her crystal wand, destroying it.
" NO! This is impossible!! " She thought.
Darkness covered her face as Asta raised Demon Slayer, with his demonic aura released from his body, time slowed from her sight as she watches the boy with his glared eyes.
" Demonic... " He said until he swing the blade, flying passed her with blood splattered around them " ... Black Meteorite!! "
Asta has defeated the White Witch, as she crashes down to the ground with a strong impact, creating a small crater below her.
Everyone that witnessed it, cheered. David and the gang who just arrived at the temple with Finral's magic saw the result of the battle, Asta had won and avenged Luck. Noelle smiled, looking at Asta, seeing as he won another fight, the magicless kid had grown so much. 'magicless kid' she had a sudden thought, she look back towards David and the rest of her friends cheering for Asta's victory, she wondered. If y/n haven't been expelled, could he had reached such achievements as Asta and Izuku did? To be honest, she was curious as to where he is right now, for the past 2 years since then, David had desperately been searching for him, all around the world during every missions that headmaster Ozpin had sent to them.
Everyone thought he was captured by the villains, mainly All for one, for him to be used as one of their experiments, well that's what Milly thought 2 years ago. But no.
" Asta you idiot, you've reached this far. Y/n, where are you right now... " Noelle thought.
Loropechika smiled at her friend's victory, she was hoping that, he could defeat the Dark Triad, and finally her curse shall be lifted. Undine thinks the same. Until...
"!?" She widened in shock, catching everyone's attention, looking back at the magic screen, the queen of heart, felt something, heading towards Asta's location.
Back to Asta, he pant in exhaustion, he went back to his normal form as Liebe came out in front of him in his little cute form.
" Nice work Asta, we won " he said.
" *Pant* yeah... *Pant* we did great " Asta replied.
" We also manage to avenge Luck, good job, at first I was doubting that we couldn't stand against her with her unlimited affinity magic. It was rough " Liebe said.
" It paid off " Asta sat down and rest, he closed his eyes and smiled, feeling satisfied that he had finally avenged his good friend.
" Lecita... Your kid has grown so much. I'm glad, that I get to meet him. I'm glad... That you left someone that I finally vowed to protect, not just as his partner... But a brother " the anti magic devil thought as he gaze over to Asta. Resembling to his adopted mother, lecita. It was proven to be her son, he's glad that fate had made him meet her son, his brother. Although they were in a disagreement at first but Asta made him open his eyes and see it through, the revelation that is in front of him.
" Hey, it's not over yet, I just sense another strong presence during the fight. It seems like she wasn't alone leading with these creeps " he said, then Asta snapped open his eyes and quickly stood up and went back to his serious expression.
" You're right! Why didn't you say so? Let's go, Liebe! " Asta said.
" Right " Liebe nod and float on his shoulder.
" Come on, we have to regroup with the others, I think there back at the temple by no– " Asta said, until a pillar of light appeared striking down from the ground.
*BOOM!!!!*
Asta turned around, watching the pillar of light radiating through the land, the gang watch as it continues to light up from the sky, loropechika widened in fear, something isn't right... Something is coming, or... It's already here.
Her heart pounding fast. Her hopes has started to fade really fast! David and the others began from cheering to paused in shock and Horror. The pillar of light they saw is where Jadis's body had layed.
And yet, the queen have sense another presence. But this time, it's right above them...
" *Gasp*!? "
Crashing down from the surface with rocks and tree branches, Sauron came, immerged from the dust with his mace now covered in blood.
" Found you... " He said with his malicious voice behind his helmet.
Everyone held their weapons and grimoire. Finral is honestly panic at seeing Sauron for the first time. The heroes have been shaken by fear, sensing his malicious Aura from the distance, even the elves could feel it. Fana started to grew even more angrier as she saw the monster who killed Patri once again.
" A-are you kidding me!? " Finral shouted.
" What... Malice...!? " Undine muttered as she can't stand the bursting Aura of pure negative Aura around the Dark lord.
" This is bad... This is really bad... " Mimosa said in worry.
" La... " Charmy said while hiding behind Potrof.
" This Aura... Is he a Devil!? No... This is different... It's even more malicious than the devils in spade " Nero thought.
Judith griping her first, trying to withstand the strong feeling by his cold and evil power surrounding his body. Milly greeted her teeth and Noelle is sweating through her face.
" What... Is he? " Noelle thought.
" This is not good... " David said, and then he looked back towards the screen where Asta stood in front of the pillar of light " Asta... " He thought.
Meanwhile, Asta and Liebe gaze on to the light as they noticed a figure rose up from the crater. It was Jadis, as she slowly stood up with her head down, then the shocking thing is that her left arm started to grew back but it's skin became purple. She lifted her head as she opened her eyes, revealing a black tattoo that resembles a dragon, appeared on her face, she smiled confidently while watching Asta widened in shock to see her alive.
" H-how did she...!? " Liebe said in shock.
The white witch smile became even more wider than ever,then she started to laugh.
" Heh... hehehe... Hehehehe... Heh Hahahahaha! HahAHAhaHah!!!! " Her voice suddenly shifted to a male voice.
She moved her left arm, covering half her face and smiled at Asta. As the pillar of light faded, leaving thunder crashing above the witch, As the sky began covered in dark clouds.
Asta glared towards her, looking confused as to how is she alive, he made sure he killed her. Noticing something changed, Asta feel suspicion with what is happening to her.
Then She spoke once again " you may have won the battle.....
... bUt tHe WAr hAs JUsT BeGuN!!! " she shouted, but her voice suddenly had the combination between her and y/n's voice.
Revealing that y/n have possessed, Jadis's body...
