Chapter 44 - Muddy Waters (1/2)
”Hey, what's your name?” Grim walked up to the black haired man.
Still wearing the monocle, the black haired man still couldn't comprehend the amount of mana emanating from the young man in front of him.
”B-Baro.” He stuttered.
'What a shitty name.'
”Okay then Baro.” He crouched down so the two were eye level. ”Explain to me why I can't feel any mana from those kids?”
”F-Fuck off.”
”Tch tch tch, wrong answer.” Materializing his flame sword, Grim held it above Baro's leg and slowly pushed it down.
”AHHH!!-
”Shhh.” Grabbing his face, Grim held a finger to his lips. ”Now now, save your screaming for later. Because if you do it again, then I'll have to really hurt you.”
Releasing a large amount of malicious aura, Grim's smile grew bigger in Baro's eyes.
”Understand?”
”Mmmpff.” Baro hastily nodded while holding back his urge to groan.
”Good, now answer the question, why don't I feel any mana from those kids?”
”W-We suċkėd it out of them!!”
Looking at the boys laying on the ground, Grim misread the situation.
”You fuċkɨnġ pervert!”
”Wha-
*BANG!!*
Punching him again, Grim rained down a barrage of punches until Baro's face was bruised and bloody.
*BANG!!*
*BANG!!*
*BANG!!*
”P-Pwease Stwop!”
”AHHH!!!” A scream suddenly sounded from the distance as Neige was knocked on his ȧss by Gauche.
'E-Even Neige lost! Fuck! We're screwed this time...'
”Hey.” Grim called gaining his attention. ”Why would you do this?”
Just as Baro was about to open his mouth, his little brother Neige answered in his stead.
”Friends *Sob* I just wanted some friends.”
”Friends? You molested a group of kids and forcefully pulled their mana out because you wanted friends?”
'Molested?'
Standing to his feet, Grim turned away from Baro and walked over to the defeated Neige.
”You wanted friends?”
”Good.” The smile on Grim's suddenly turned dark. ”Because I'm sure you'll make plenty in hell.”
”Wha-
*Stab*
”Ah?” Feeling a sharp pain spreading through his ċhėst, Neige looked down and saw a jagged sword poking through his body.
*Splash*
Pulling the sword out and waving the blood off the blade, Grim watched as Neige fell to the ground.
Watching this happen from a distance, Baro couldn't help but curse internally.
'Dammit, he killed Neige!! Where the fuċk are those bastards that are meant to be picking up the mana canister!'
”Hey Grim we came to hel-
But what surprised him even more was the small pool of blood gathering around Grim's feet.
”G-Grim... Is he-
Before he could speak another word, Asta was interrupted by a cheerful sounding ”HEYO!!”
Sounding out from above them, a portal opened up and a girl with messy black hair and red framed glasses appeared.
”ITS YOU!!” Asta pointed when he saw her.
”Heyo Asta!!” She smiled and waved before locking onto Grim's figure.
”Ah!! You must Grim! Valtos told us you were capable of using various different magic types! I can't wait to open you up and find out how you do it!!”
”Asta.” Grim looked over at him with a bit of confusion. ”Who is she?”
”She's one of those Eye of the Midnight Sun guys that kidnapped me!”
”Hmm...” Asta closed his eyes and put his hand on his chin. ”Well she was with the ones that attacked the wizard king so I think so.”
”She was there when that happened?”
”Yeah.”
”Cool... I'm go kill her now.”
”Eh?”
Switching to [Breath of Wind], Grim used [Dust Whirlwind Cutter] to launch himself into the air and charge towards the girl.
”GRIM WAIT!!” Asta yelled but it was to late. After hearing their conversation, Gauche's killing intent had soared.
'Eye of the midnight sun! They're the ones who organised the kidnapping of Marie!!'
Gathering his mana together, Gauche's didn't care that Grim was near the girl as he unleashed the full power of his spell.
”Hehe.”
[Gel Magic: Sticky Salamander]
Breaking her grimoire open, the girl created a salamander looking creature composed of nothing but gel.
”Woah!!” Grim exclaimed barley avoiding getting hit by one of Gauche's beams.
*BEAM!!*
