Kyoya was sleeping peacefully on the boat. To be honest, it's been a while since he properly got to sleep. Usually he would get about two hours of sleep due to his nightmares. But for now, he was feeling a bit relaxed. However, that peace was short lived.

"Kyoya!!!!! We made it to the Heart Kingdom!!!"

Asta barged into the room Kyoya was sleeping in as he yelled. However, when Asta looked at Kyoya he saw the boy glaring him with killing intent. It was then Asta learned an important lesson, never ruin someone's sleep.

"Ice-Make:Ice-Hammer!!!!!"

Kyoya creates a giant spiked hammer made out of ice and hammers it onto Asta. As the boy was lying in pain on the floor, Kyoya said one thing to him.

"Never.....scream....when i'm asleep. Do you understand?"

"Yes sir."

Soon Kyoya was walking out of his room with Asta as he looked ahead. There it was, the Heart Kingdom. It was so beautiful that he found it hard to believe someone here was cursed by a devil.

"This is the Heart Kingdom........."

Kyoya was left in awe as he saw this. It looked a lot more peaceful than the Spade Kingdom, that's for sure. But while Kyoya admired the scenery, Finral asked something.

"So where are we supposed to tie up the boat?"

As he said that, everyone sensed a strong presence heading for them. When they turned around, they saw a man land inside of the ship as he looked at the group.

"Just keep going straight ahead. Allow me to welcome you to the Heart Kingdom. I am the Spirit Guardian Gaja and I will act as your guide."

Gaja soon looked at the group. He sensed that they had some strong magic. But when his eyes fell upon Asta, he didn't sense any type of mana from the boy. Soon he stopped staring as he spoke to Mimosa.

"It has been a while, Lady Mimosa. You seem to be doing well."

"Thank you, it's nice to see you again Gaja. These are my friends. Asta, Noelle, Finral, and Kyoya."

As the group's ship was sailing forward, they saw a waterfall up ahead. When their ship was reaching it, the water soon took the shape of stairs as the ship was being carried by it. Gaja explained that this was due to the Queen's Mana Zone which spans over the kingdom.

"Our kingdom was founded twelve centuries ago. Our queens also acted as priestesses, forming a pact with the Spirit Undine to gain its strength. We've gotten by through peaceful means for now, but the future is uncertain even for our queen."

As soon as Gaja said this, Kyoya and Asta were trapped in a sphere of water along with Nero, who was in the form of a bird. Soon the sphere of water was sent flying away from the ship. As Mimosa demanded an explanation, Gaja looked at the remaining group.

"We need their help to protect the peace we cultivated here."

~Meanwhile~
As Asta and Kyoya were trapped in the bubble of water, they saw they were above a cavern and the bubble soon popped. As the two magic knights fell, they looked around to see where they were.

"Dammit, I can't believe we got abducted!!!!!"

"I know how you feel Kyoya, but where the heck are we."

As the two were wondering what happened, they heard footsteps getting louder and louder. Kyoya and Asta stood side by side as they saw multiple suits of armor made of water standing before them as they heard a woman's voice.

"I'm sorry for treating you two roughly, but I must protect my country and it has need of your devil and your strange magic."

"Heh. That's a messed up way to ask for help. Plus we're not going down so easily. Are you ready Asta?!"

"Yes sir!!!!!!!"

As Asta was in his Black Asta form, he dashed forward as he sliced through several of the water armors as they stopped functioning after being sliced by his anti-magic sword. Meanwhile, Kyoya charged towards a group of them.

"Ice-Magic:Zero Point Breakthrough!!!!!"

With his hands in a prayer like motion, Kyoya froze all of the water armor creatures he was facing in ice. While this happened, Kyoya sensed someone's mana nearby. However, as he realized this, he saw a figure made of water manifesting itself.

"So you negate magic...that is your devil's power. That other boy must be the ice mage that's been building up quite a reputation for himself."

"Ice-Make:Grappling Hook!!!!!"

Kyoya creates two four-pointed grappling hooks with chains connected with the Ice-Make auras around his hands, which he used to grab onto some rocks above him and lift himself up. When he did, he saw the spirit that spoke to him and Asta as Asta was now trapped in large amounts of water.

"As abominable as your devil's power is, it seems rather useful. Meanwhile that ice mage's power definitely is at Stage One. Nice to meet you, devil-possessed boy of the Clover Kingdom. I am Undine, one of the Four Great Spirits and contracted to the Queen of the Heart Kingdom."

As Kyoya saw this unfold, he saw Undine make handcuffs out of her water magic and chained up Asta. However, while Kyoya was suspended in air, he saw Nero flying and nodding her head towards him. Kyoya nods back as he looked at Undine speaking to Asta.

"Though you don't have any magic power. That makes you lower than ninth stage."

"What the hell is ninth stage?!"

"Oh that's right. Your country doesn't use that system. Its how we measure magic talent and skill. From ninth to eighth, so on and so forth. The highest ranking being stage zero. Well I guess it's time to end th-"

"No one disrespects my junior and gets away with it except for me!!!!!"

As Undine looked above her, she Kyoya falling down towards her. While this happened, Nero flew into the water and used her sealing magic to release Asta from his bindings. As Undine looked at Kyoya, she made the water rise up and tries to crash it onto Kyoya.

"You'll have to do better than this, Old Hag!!!! Ice-Make:Ocean!!!!!"

Kyoya, after joining both of his hands, slams them on the large body of water, completely freezing it in few seconds. After freezing the water, Kyoya soon saw Asta flying towards a waterfall where he felt the mana from earlier. Seeing this, he smiled as he jumped down from the frozen water and dashed to the waterfall.

"Time for you to greet your visitors properly, Queen of the Heart Kingdom!!!!!"
