Chapter 50 - Ignored (1/2)
Hearing the three of them treat him like air and insult him without caring for his presence, Licht felt a throbbing vein appear on his forehead as his left eye started to twitch.
*Stretches*
”So you still gonna fight that feminine looking dude?” Grim asked.
”Huh? Of course!” Yami nodded. ”I said that I was gonna show them what a magic knight captain was capable of so I need to finish this.”
”Ha. Very well.” Grim smiled and turned to Asta.
”Have you got a grasp on Ki yet?”
”I think so.”
”Hmm... Can you do me a favor and take care of that creepy hype man?”
”Huh? Sure, but what are you gonna do while I'm doing that?”
”Me? I'm gonna see what a magic knight captain can truly do.”
*BOOM!!*
Releasing his mana, Yami reinforced his body with reinforcement magic and shot towards Licht.
'And so it starts.'

*BANG!!*
*BANG!!*
*BANG!!*
'So this is what Yami is like when he's serious.' Grim thought while watching in wonder.
[Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Avidya Slash]
”That story you were telling me a while ago wasn't everything right? Tell me how it ends.”
*BANG!!*
”Tell me what you guys are really after.”
*BANG!!*
”Since you posses that type of grimoire it means you're from the Clover kingdom right? Then why attack your home?”
”Heh.” Licht smiled when he heard him.
Dodging another attacked, he opened his mouth and answered.
”Since you're a foreigner, I'm sure you've noticed just how warped this kingdom really is.”
”What?”
”You've seen it haven't you?” Licht continued. ”How there are people dying in the streets from starvation yet there are people living not to far away who struggle to even finish all the food that has been presented to them. Don't you think that's unfair?”
*BANG!!*
”They say that mana amount is used to decided your status in life, but in reality they'll judge you on your background and use that as an excuse to hold you back.”
*BANG!!*
”As an immigrant, you should know better than anyone how they'll use the fact that you were born in another country to hurt you and say that they are doing it for justice.”
”What are you talking about?” Yami frowned releasing another slash.
*BANG!!*
Evading the attack like it was nothing, Licht's revealed a benevolent smile.
”We, the members of the Eye of the Midnight Sun have risen up from the dregs of this warped and have come out of the shadows in order to correct this corrupt world.”
'Is it?'
”Collecting rogue mages, attacking the capital, having a four leaf grimoire, all that power has gone to your head.”
*BANG!!*
”Gone to my head?” Dodging another slash that blew out a large chunk out of the cave, Licht laughed lightly. ”I'll have you know I'm perfectly fine thank you. All I'm doing is fighting fire with fire.”
”Haha. So you're one of those people who think they're always right huh. Can't say I hate people like that. However, I really can't stand you!!”
*BOOM!!*

'Whoa... Even with ki and the Transparent World active, I'm still struggling to see everything that's going on... Is this really the power of a captain?” Watching the cave's infrastructure crumble from their battle, Grim doesn't even notice that his smile was starting to widen.
'That Power, That Strength, I Want it, I WANT IT!!'
Looks like Asta's gotten better at sensing ki.
Watching him defend and deflect the multiple mana orbs flying at him through the portals, Grim couldn't help but nod. Despite his thirst for power, Grim couldn't deny that he liked that Asta was getting stronger. Unlike him, Asta was someone who was truly unlucky and he could respect his work ethic.
”Die!” Licht yelled throwing a light shard at Yami.
”Not today.” Smiling, Yami created a black hole that suċkėd in Licht's attack and trapped him in place.
'What the hell?' A look of surprise appeared on Licht's face as Yami lifted his blade above his head.
[Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Black Blade]
”HYAH!!” Slashing his sword down, Yami's blade was covered in dark magic and stretched itself making its range longer.
During the time Yami had activated his spell, Asta had jumped through Valtos's portal and decked him in the face.
