After Asta and Finral showed up in the hideout, Finral left as he had to pick up Yami since the captain's conference is almost over. Since the distance was quite long, he decided that he wouldn't jump through his portal straight to the Clover Kingdom from Spade so it may take a while. As he left, Kyoya looked towards Asta.

"So how have things been on your end?"

"Well Charmy's completely addicted to the Heart Kingdom's food. What about Henry. How's he doing?"

"He's low on mana. Since Charmy isn't around, he can't move much."

As Asta and Kyoya were chatting, Vanessa smiled as she looked at them. To be honest, it was nice to see the ice mage speak up more and to see her squad mates getting along. Meanwhile, Henry was sitting in his room until he suddenly felt a strong amount of mana. When he sensed this, he warned everyone in the building.

"Heeeey yooooou guuys!!!!! Weeee haaave trouuuuuble!!!!!!"

As Kyoya heard this, Gauche and himself looked out the window as they were shocked by what they saw. Their hideout was floating in midair. When they looked ahead, they saw one man floating in the air with his hand up.

"It seems that Yami Sukehiro's away. I suppose I shall play with you while I wait for him to show up."

"Rouge!!!!!"

Vanessa quickly opened her grimoire as a cat made from red thread appeared. While this happened, Henry quickly got ready to combat the threat in front of him.

"Heeere weee gooooooo!"

"Recombination Magic:The Raging Black Bull!"

With his grimoire opened, Henry rearranged the hideout into the shape of a giant bull standing on two legs. As this happened, Gauche decided to help put Henry in taking out the intruder.

"Mana Rocket Punch!!!!!"

"Mirror Magic:Large Reflect Refrain!!!!"

With his grimoire opened, Gauche manifests an array of large mirrors that reflect magical light off of each other and destroy whatever is between them. Meanwhile, Henry launched a fist from the Raging Black Bull. Seeing this, Dante had a bored expression on his face.

"Such insolence. Gravity Magic:Presence of the Demon King."

With his grimoire opened, Dante dramatically increases the strength of gravity in the area in front of him. The spell stopped Henry and Gauche's attack as the spells were slammed and bent on the ground as the trees around them were snapped in half. However, Dante was surprised by how the group and their hideout weren't snapped in half as well. Meanwhile, Kyoya looked at Vanessa.

"So this is what its like to be saved by Vanessa's Red String of Fate. If it wasn't for her, we'd be screwed."

"Hehehe. So you have someone who can manipulate natural law. To think you'd have an arcane stage besides Yami Sukehiro. I like it!"

Soon Dante saw two people exit the Black Bulls hideout. One was heading straight for him while the other was heading towards Invel. The one Invel was about to face had a lot of magical power, yet he looked familiar to him. Meanwhile, the magic knight in front of him said one thing.

"You're gonna fight me!!!!!!"

As Asta was heading for Dante, he saw the man smirking. Soon Asta sensed a strong amount of ki heading for the hideout, however he too had a smile on his face. He knew that Kyoya could handle this by himself. So until he can regroup with them, Asta was going to try his hardest to take down Dante.

"Your fight is with me!!!!"

~With Kyoya~
As Kyoya lands on the ground, he saw a single man before him. Kyoya could tell that he had a lot of magical power, but he's not going to lose. As Kyoya looked at the man, the man began to speak.

"Lord Dante always has to be so reckless. Though, i'd say you're the reckless one for coming alone. I am known as the Winter General, Invel Yura. I shall end this quickly so I may assist Lord Dante."

"I don't give a damn about you. A member of the Dark Triad, a person possessed by a devil is here. Not to mention that you're part of the group who destroyed my home, the true Spade Kingdom. That's why......I'LL MAKE SURE TO MAKE YOU PAY FOR YOUR CRIMES!!!! ICE-MAKE:ICE IMPACT!!!!!!"

Kyoya creates an intricately-designed hammer made of ice, which he brought down onto Invel. However, Kyoya's eyes became wide when he saw that Invel caught his spell with one hand and froze it instantly, causing it to shatter.

"Your skill with Ice Magic is rather high, but there is a clear difference between us. You merely create objects out of ice, my magic is the very concept of freezing. I'm a pure ice mage. So watch closely boy."

It was all in an instant. How much time has passed after he said that? Was it a second? Maybe two or three? It was so fast, Kyoya couldn't keep track of it. The moment he blinked, Invel had froze the area around them in ice.

"What the hell? I'm an ice mage and an Ice Devil Slayer, yet even I feel cold. Just what is this ice?"

"This ice is from the Underworld, where the devils reside. Now then..
Show me your pathetic ice magic ag-"

"What did you say you four-eyed piece of shit?"

As Invel looked at Kyoya, he could feel the air getting colder as black markings were slowly appearing on the boy's body. When Kyoya looked at the man before him, he finally came to a decision as he took off his shirt as his Black Bulls robe and his scarf are the only things on his upper body now.

"At first I was willing to at least beat you and have you imprisoned. But to disrespect the magic my teacher taught me.....that alone gave me a reason to not show you any mercy. I hope your ready, because i'll freeze your very soul."
