"What are you doing here, Mukuro?!"

"Kufufu. Is that any way to talk to someone who just saved you?"

As Kyoya glared at Mukuro, Asta was confused on who this man was. Meanwhile, Yami was thinking to himself. He remembered the name Mukuro, Kyoya told him about it after he came back from his mission in Sosshi Village. While this was happening, Valtos looked at Licht.

"Master Licht, allow me to take care of the brats as you defeat the captain of the Black Bulls."

"You're always quick to help Valtos. Thank you. Well then, go ahead. But make sure to capture the boy with no mana."

"It will be my pleasure, Master Licht!"

Soon Valtos made two portals appear over Kyoya and Mukuro's heads. As he launched an attack through them, Mukuro quickly thrusts his trident pass Kyoya's head as he cuts apart the first attack. Likewise, Kyoya made a sword out of ice and sliced apart the second attack behind Mukuro. As this happened, Yami was impressed by what he saw.

"Their dislike of each other is clear as day, yet they're in sync. I guess fighting against each other helped them understand each other's fighting style better than anyone."

Soon Yami quickly swung his blade in multiple directions to avoid any serious damage from the light blades. As this happened, he decided to tell the idiots behind him something that can help them live a little longer.

"Runt, Ice Stripper, and Pineapple Head. Listen up, while i'm fighting the scrawny guy i haven't been predicting his attacks with magic. I sensed something that the people in my home called ki."

The three boys nod their heads. Meanwhile, Valtos couldn't believe how rude they were being to Licht by standing idly by and speaking to one another. Soon Valtos launched multiple attacks through his portals. As the attacks were zooming in on the three boys, Kyoya had an idea.

"Ice-Make:Arrows!!!!"

After first crafting a bow from ice, Kyoya forms multiple arrows from both hands and fires them at high speed towards Valtos' attack. As he did that, Mukuro was aiming at the portals that the attack came from and smiled as his grimoire opens up.

"Illusion Magic:Corpse Eating Crows!!!"

Mukuro conjures murders of ravenous crows and sent them through the portals. As Valtos prepared to strike again, the crows appeared from the portal in front of him. As they bit into his flesh, Mukuro overloaded them with mana so as soon as they made contact they exploded. Seeing this, Yami whistled as Asta looked at Kyoya and Mukuro in awe.

"That was so awesome."

"Looks like we got more than one badass here. Anyways, you three listen up. Class is back in session. A person's glance, their breathing, their scent, the way their muscles move, the hint of their presence. Take them together, all the living energy that people give off is called ki. Don't just use your eyes and ears, use your whole body. In short, sharpen your instincts and push pass your limits!!!!!"

As this happened, Licht looked at Valtos' damaged state. He couldn't believe these people harmed another one of his comrades. He was beyond furious as he was sure to make them pay for what they did.

"Light Creation Magic:Bright Whip Judgement!!!!"

Licht manifests a long whip of light, which extends from his hand, and swung it around the cave with great speed and power. As parts of the cave were getting destroyed, Yami had a hard time predicting the movements of the whip. Seeing this, Kyoya quickly got in front of Yami, Asta, and Mukuro.

"Ice-Make:Diamond Castle!!!!"

Kyoya made an entire fortress out of ice as the walls of the construct endures Licht's attack. As this happened, Mukuro looked towards Kyoya.

"I'm just about at my limit in this body, Kyoya Fullbuster."

"What are you talking about?"

"You should know that i'm deep in the dungeon of the Clover Kingdom. I'm using my Paths of Rebirth to posses the owl's body like I did with the chief of Sosshi Village.While i'm possessing this owl's body, I used my Illusion Magic to create an image of myself and my trident. Needless to say that as soon as my mana runs out, i'll no longer be able to keep up this illusion."

Kyoya nods as he looked at Mukuro. Soon Yami smiled as he saw that Kyoya calmed down. Soon he starts to walk outside the Diamond Castle.

"Runt, Ice Stripper. I only have one order...let's raise some hell and push pass our limits."

Hearing this, both Asta and Kyoya smiled. Soon Kyoya turned to Mukuro. He had a lot of questions for the illusionist but now wasn't the time. Soon Mukuro smiled as he talked to Kyoya.

"You played along with my tale of possessing Ken, just so he can avoid punishment. See, I hate leaving debts unpaid. So for now, i'll cooperate."

"Fine then...in that case, let's raise some hell!!!!!!"

Soon Kyoya, Yami, and Mukuro dash outside of the castle. Yami quickly dashed towards Licht. As he swung his blade, he launched a slash of dark magic towards the man. While this happened, Kyoya charged at Valtos with great speed.

"Ice-Make:Cold Excalibur!!!!"

Kyoya forms an extremely large longsword out of ice. As he swung the sword, Valtos jumped back to avoid the slash but was hit by waves of ice caused from the slash. As he looked up he saw a murder of crows dive down towards him.

"This foolish trick won't work on me!!!!"

Valtos soon jumped through a portal from his spatial magic as he appeared behind Mukuro and Kyoya. Soon he concentrated mana into his hands and shot them through Mukuro and Kyoya's chest. Soon their bodies fell onto the ground as blood was escaping from their wounds.

"Hehehe. Hahaha! As I thought, this place shall be your grave. Now then, to assist Master Licht imm-"

Valtos didn't finish his sentence as both Mukuro and Kyoya punched the man into the ground. However, he was confused. How the hell were they still alive. As he looked to the side, he saw Kyoya and Mukuro's corpses turning into mist.

"Kufufu. To fall because of a simple illusion. It seems i've overestimated you, Eye of the Midnight Sun."

As Valtos stood back up, he was growing more agitated. He needs to defeat these boys quickly in order to assist Licht in his battle against Yami.

"Spatial Magic:Myriad Black!!!!"

Valtos manifests multiple portals in front of himself that connect to portals that have manifested around Kyoya, Asta, and Mukuro. As this happened, Kyoya and Asta remembered what the captain told them.

"Don't just use your eyes and ears. Use your whole body, sharpen your instincts."

Soon the two boys closed their eyes as they bet everything on this gamble. Kyoya didn't use his mana detection and Asta wasn't going to rely on his eyes. If they want to do this right, they'll have to start from zero.

"You fools. How can possible dodge what you can't see?!"

Soon Valtos used his spatial magic to manifest a portal. As this happened, Kyoya and Asta felt something weird. Like a new presence has appeared behind them. Soon Kyoya grabs Asta by the head and threw him towards the direction where he felt the presence.

Soon Asta opened his eyes and they became wide. Kyoya threw him through one of Valtos' portals. As Asta was now in front of the man, he punched him as hard as he could. Soon Valtos was sent flying into a wall.

"Hahahaha. You threw the runt and then he punched the scarecrow dude. That's too funny."

"You've let your guard down, Yami."

Licht suddenly appeared behind Yami as he fired several blades of light magic towards him. However, Yami smirked as he turned around.

"No, you're the one who's guard is down. Dark Magic:Black Hole."

Yami creates a small black hole which draws in and absorbs Licht's light magic. It then shortly paralyzes Licht since he was in contact with his spell. Seeing that he now had a chance to land a good hit it on Licht, he wasn't going to let this opportunity go to waste.

"Dark Magic:Dark Cloaked Black Blade!!!!!"

Yami coats his katana in dark magic and shapes the darkness into a longer blade, extending its reach. Soon Licht had a giant slash mark across his chest. As his blood drips on the ground, he noticed something.

"Your dark magic is truly terrifying, but it's rather slow. To negate this gap, you coat your magic onto your sword and you use reinforcement magic to boost yourself."

Soon Licht's grimoire began to turn pages. As this happened, a large amount of light magic gathered into his hands. This would be the most powerful spell he's cast so far.

"Captain of the Black Bulls, the boy with no magic, and even you ice mage. The moment I cast this spell will be your last."

As this happened, Mukuro smiled as his illusion on the owl has worn off. Soon all that was left was a white owl that flew off from the cave. As this happened, he had one thought.

"I've done as much as I could. But I doubt you'll die here. Survive, Kyoya Fullbuster."

~Meanwhile~
Gauche was sitting next to Theresa as she was being healed by mages sent by the magic knights. As this was happening, Finral and several of the children that came back could only watch.

"C'mon you old hag. Don't go dying on me dammit!"

"Please Gauche, I know you're worried but calm down until your injuries have completely hea-"

"Shut your mouth. They need to focus on healing the old hag!!!!"

Soon Gauche turned his attention back to Theresa. As this happened, the woman placed a hand on his shoulder as she had something important to say.

"Gauche, take my magic power. You'll need it to help Asta and the ice mage. I'm so glad you met them. It changed you somehow. I'm counting on you..Gauche."

As she said this, Theresa smiled as she felt her wounds were healed. But she was too tired and out of mana to help. As this happened, Marie and Neige walked up to Gauche in order to give him their magic power.

"See, it's like I said. You need people to support you. So please....win."

After hearing this, Gauche smiled as he turned towards Finral. He told them that they were heading back to that cave. He has one chance and he won't waste it.

"I have one shot at this! So you bastards.....don't you die!!!!!"

~Meanwhile~
As Kyoya and the group face Licht and his incredible magic, they were trying to figure out what to do. Kyoya had an idea, one last spell that he could use to save Yami and Asta.

He didn't say anything to them. All he did was release his own magic power as he took a stance. Yami and Licht's eyes became wide as they sensed a large amount of mana coming from Kyoya.

"If it's come to this, even my Zero Point Breakthrough can't seal this magic. So I only have one thing left that can save Yami and Asta...i'll use it. Ur said to give it my all and not to hesitate to save my comrades. That's why i'm not afraid to use it. The Iced Shell!!!!!"
