Chapter 32 - Goal (1/2)
'That magic...'
Feeling a large surge of magic explode from the distance, Grim turned to face that direction.
”Yuno...”
*BOOM!!*
”Huh?”
Feeling another large surge of mana coming from the opposite direction, Grim had a decision to make.
'Do I go left or right?'

[Fire Restraining Magic: Leo Palma]
Conjouring up several flaming lion palms, Fuegoleon wrapped them around the necromancer Rades and restrained him.
Trapped within his spell, Rades started struggling but realized just how pointless it was and started breaking down. ”NO NO NO!!! I HAVE GREATER MANA THAN ANY ROYAL! I WILL NOT LOSE TO YOU!!”
”As much as you would like to believe that, you have to accept reality.” Walking over to him, Fuegoleon grabbed at his grimoire.
”NO!! DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH THAT!!”
Ignoring his pitiful cries, Fuegoleon yanked the book away.
”I SAID DON'T TOUCH IT!!”
'This grimoire...'
Opening up Rades grimoire, Fuegoleon's brows furrowed as he saw a single page within the book.
”DON'T LOOK!! THAT ISN'T FOR ANYONE ELSE TO SEE!!”
'I see... He only has one spell...”
”How dare you... HOW DARE YOU LOOK AT ME WITH PITY!!”
Seeing the look on his face when he saw the single page inside his grimoire, the anger and hatered within Rades heart bubbled to the surface as he started throwing out incomprehensible slurs.
”Pity? The only person who deserves pity is me. After making me waste my time running all over this town I come to find out that the big bad has already been take care of. How bad do you think I feel?”
”Huh?”
Looking up, everyone saw Grim's figure chilling on top of a partially destroyed building.
”Hey guys.”
”My RIVAL!!” Leopold yelled.
'Fuck! how did I not notice him until now?'
Feeling his left eye twitch slightly, Grim hoped down from the top of the building and softly landed on the ground.
While everyone's attention was focused on Grim's arrival, none of them noticed the voice comming out of the magic communication device in Rades's ear.
”Are you satisfied now Rades? While you definitely have the mana to fight one, you should have known that you weren't enough to beat a captain by yourself. And just like you, it seems like Catherine has failed her mission... It seems like I too am at my limit, so were gonna stop messing around now and follow the plan.”
”Hey you.” Fuegoleon turned his attention back onto Rades. ”While I get the feeling that revenge was your goal, I doubt that the spacial mage was doing it for the same reason. So tell me, what were you guys really after?”
Lowering his head, Rades started to laugh and draw everyone's attention.
”You want to know what our goal was? Ahahahahahahaha, you really want to know!! Then listen closely captain of the Crimson Lions! Our goal was more than just revenge, our real goal was you Fuegoleon Vermillion!!”
”What!!”
Exploding out from under him, the same inky black magic that teleported the rest of the magic knights away appeared.
”BIG BRO!!” Leopold screamed as he watched his brother get teleported away.
'To get it right under his feet... The accuracy of that spell was too precise... The caster is probably close by but... I can't sense any other mana in the area.'
”Over there!!” Asta suddenly yelled and charged towards a pile of zombie bodies and using his sword to throw them into the air.
