Watching Asta being enveloped inside the blood cocoon, Grim kept an eye on the Witch Queen and noticed that she seemed to be putting more effort into healing Asta's arms than she did their fight.
Frowning at this realization, Grim wanted to say something but chose to stay quiet as Asta's arms were the current priority.
[A/n: Grim choosing to focus on a friend rather than someone stronger than him... How shocking.]
Releasing him from the blood ball, Grim watch Asta slip out and pull his swords out from his grimoire.
"HELL YEAH!! I'M BACK!"
"Asta..." Everyone looked at him with relief.
"Took you long enough." Grim smiled as he sword Asta holding both swords.
Unlike the others who were celebrating, the Witch Queen turned her attention to Grim and spoke in a low voice that only he could here.
"I've completed my end of the bargain, now its your turn."
"Yeah yeah." He shooed her away. "I'll help deal with these invaders, besides... There's a certain bitch that needs an ass whoppin." Looking at the viewing orb, Grim's fists clenched as he looked at Fana.

"We only have three booms, we'll be too slow if we all go together." Domina said after realizing this fact.
"No problem." Grim said walking towards the huge hole in the wall.
"Grim?"
"I'll see you guys there."
"Wha-
Before they could finish asking what he meant, a green aura surrounded Grim's figure as green wind burst out from his body and sent flying into the distance.
"Hey what are we waiting for!? LETS GO!!" Asta yelled now hyped up over his newly healed arms.
Getting on the broom with everyone else, the Witch Queen watched as they flew off to repel the invaders. But the only thing in her mind at the moment was Grim's figure as he left to go fight.
'Fire, water, lightning and now wind...'

"Ahahahahaha, come to me my beauties!!" A mage from the eye of the midnight sun laughed as he used vine magic to capture a couple of witches.
"AAhhh!!"
"Let go!!"
"Stop!!"
"Help!!"
"Mine! BECOME MINE!!"
[A/n: Using vine magic on female opponents... Imma leave that to your imaginations.]
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY YOU DAMN WEAKLINGS!!"
"Huh?"
Hearing an unfamiliar voice enter the battlefield, the vine mage looked in the distance and saw a green tornado approaching him at an unprecedented speed.
"Humph!! No magic shall get past m-
*SLASH!*
"Shut the fuck up."
Blowing past him, Grim switched to [Breath of the Beast] and used [Crazy Cutting] to shred everything in his way including the vines trapping the witches and the vine mage's throat before using his body as a spring board to jump at the over watching Fana.
"Its another man!"
"We were saved by a man ew!"
Seeing him approaching, Fana recalled him from the cave.
"You're with the people who killed Vetto, I'll kill you." Looking at him with those unblinking eyes, Fana's mana started to fluctuate.
[Spirit Magic: Salamander's Breath]
Unleashing another ball of fire, Grim couldn't help but feel his heart accelerate as his infamous smile etched itself onto his face.
'I'm not the same as I was back then.'
Grinning at the descending attack, Grim's aura turned grey.
[Crazy Cutting]
Flying head first into the falling fireball, the rotating aura blades around his body increased as he started hacking away with the beast swords.
*BOOM!!*
*SWOOSH!!*
Bursting through the newly formed dust cloud with a couple of scuff marks and a slightly burnt top, Grim's speed did not fall in the slightest as he continued shoot towards the Salamander.
"You're gonna have to do better than that you murder loving psycho!!"
"I'LL KILL YOU!!" She shrieked as she and Salamander flew downwards intending to clash with him.
"GRIM!!" Vanessa and the others screamed when they saw this.
*SWOOSH!!*
*SWOOSH!!*
[Spirit Magic: Salamander's Claw]
[Breath of Wind: Dust Whirlwind Cutter]
Evading the attack with wind magic, Grim managed to avoid the attack, unfortunately the trees below him weren't so lucky.
"What the hell!!"
"Are you kidding me!!"
Watching the trees get torn apart, Vanessa and Finral thanked god that they weren't standing there.
"GO GET HER GRIM!!" Asta shouted from the distance as he dealt with his own opponents.
Using his new in air position that just happened to be to the left of Fana and the Salamander, Grim used [Dust Whirlwind Cutter] again to launch himself at them.
Not expecting him to be able to dodge, Fana and the Salamander were caught of guard as Grim closed the distance between them and used his beast swords to deal two devastating sword wounds on the fire spirit.
*RAAUGGHHHH!!*
Salamander roared as it flew backwards in retreat.
Watching this from the ground, Vanessa could barely believe her eyes.
'A spirits body is made up of magic, if he keeps using those swords that cut through magic to fight, we might actually win this!'
"Why are you doing this... Why do you keep hurting us..." Fana asked after Salamander retreated.
"Just felt like it." Spamming [Dust Whirlwind Cutter] on repeat, Grim kept launching himself at the Salamander from many different directions.
*SWOOSH!!*
*SWOOSH!!*
*SWOOSH!!*
*SWOOSH!!*
*SWOOSH!!*
*SWOOSH!!*
*RAAUGGHHHH!!*
Spamming that attack on repeat, every time Grim came close to Fana and the Salamander he used [Crazy Cutting] to leave countless wounds on the spirits body before blowing past them and repeating the process again.
[A/n: Lol, Grim doing to Salamander what Asta, Vanessa and Finral did to Vetto]
"Dammit... DAMMIT... DAMMIT!!" Fana screamed.
*Crack*
*BOOM!!*
*SWOOSH!!*
Blown back by a sudden increase of mana, Grim landed on the ground next to his allies and looked up in surprise to see the diamond on Fana's head shatter and turn into a third eye.
'This increase in mana...'
"Whoa!" Grim and the others had to cover their faces, as the Salamander flapped its wings.
But that's not where the surprises ended. With Fana's sudden rise in mana, the Salamander's form changed as it grew bigger and more muscular as crystals started floating around them.
'This magic... it feels just like Mars's.'
Standing a top the swole Salamander surrounded by flames and crystals, Fana looked down at Grim with clear hostility.
"Burn in the flames of my hatred."
"Sorry, but I'm not a witch."
Contrary to the despair she hoped to see, Grim raised his head to reveal a massive shit eating grin.
Grim really putting in the work.
