章 86: Round 3

"How- But you were- EH!!?"

Confused by how Grim had gotten all the way over here despite being a mile or so behind him, Asta tried to rationalize this whole event without taking into account the fact that Grim had been slammed into the side of the volcano.

Seeing him struggle to work it out, Grim sighed and pried himself up and out of the dent he had made, brushed himself off and prepared to head back towards the direction he had been sent flying from.

"Don't worry about it."

Immediately after saying that, he coughed up 5 mouthfuls of blood and fell face first onto the ground.

"Ow..."

"Holy crap!" Asta exclaimed and ran to his side. "Are you okay."

"Just peachy, but you know what'd make me feel even better Asta?"

"What?"

"That small bottle of the Bitch Queen's magic blood that can heal any injury. Y'know the one right? The one you gave to your seamen (pun intended) friends without my permission? It'd be reeeeeal handy right about now."

"Oh um..."

[A/n: The salt is real]

Before Asta could answer, Mereoleona's booming voice sounded out from above them.

"You done already!!?"

'Huh?'

Looking up into the air, the sight of Mereoleona falling towards them at an alarming speed.

'Oh shit!'

*BANG!!*

Landing heavily, she created a small crater and sent dust dust and smoke blowing everywhere.

"Whew, now then, round 3?" She said while looking at the downed Grim.

"Yep, just give me a minu- Blergh!!" Before finishing his sentence, he threw up a couple more mouthfuls of blood.

'Fuck!! How did a single punch do so much damage to me!'

*Cough* *Cough*

Coughing up chunks of blood, Grim managed to crawl onto his feet and show off a bloody smile.

"Ready." He said with unsteady feet.

"..."

"..."

Looking at the clearly exhausted Grim, Asta and Mereoleona's eyes met briefly before Mereoleona turned back to Grim.

"Well then, if you want to continue, meet me at the top of the volcano." And before giving Grim a chance to say anything, she charged into the distance and vanished from sight.

Seeing her leave, Grim breathed a sigh of relief. While he wanted to continue, he wasn't sure his body could handle it.

'Heh, so that's how you wanna play it!'

"Um Grim." Asta called out. "You okay?"

"I'm great!!" He said with a wild grin on his face as he wiped away the leftover traces of blood off his lips.

"Heheheheh." He chuckled while staring at the top of the volcano and tightening his fists. "Time to tame a lioness."

Closing his eyes, Grim switched to [Breath of the Beast]. After letting that wind mage from the eye of the midnight sun poke several holes in his body back in the capital, Grim had discovered that all his magic types had an extra attribute that he hadn't known about beforehand. As it turned out, no matter which style of magic he was using, he was actually capable of clotting wounds from severe injuries and slowing down the circulation of poison in his bloodstream. But for some reason it was most effective whenever he had [Breath of the Beast] active. Not to mention that he was basically immune to poisons when using that style.

*BOOM!!*

Snapping his eyes open, the ground beneath his feet cracked and shatter from the force being emitted from the blue flames that had gathered around him once more. Changing styles again, he slowly started levitating off the ground.

"Oi Asta." He called out without looking back at him. "Hurry up and figure out how to use that black form of yours, my standard for sparring partners has risen recently.

And with that, in a burst of blue light he shot shot through the air and towards the top of the volcano leaving blue fire embers trailing behind him.

---

"Hey hey Yuno, lets go on a date after this!"

Ignoring the wind spirit sitting on his shoulder, Yuno who was currently flying through the air while maintaining his mana skin felt a huge explosion of mana behind him.

"What th-

*BOOM!!*

*SWOOSH!!*

Bursting past him at an alarming rate, a pumped up Grim blew past him ignoring his person entirely and messing up his hair in the process.

'...He can fly...'

*BOOM!!*

*BOOM!!*

*BOOM!!*

Cloaked in blue flames and flying so fast that he constantly broke the speed barrier, the grin on Grim's face wouldn't let up.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" He laughed madly while shooting down towards Mereoleona who was standing on a rock float in the middle of the currently active volcano.

"ROUND 3 BITCH!!"

[Breath of Blue Flames: 9th Form - Rengoku]

Pouring a large amount of mana into his new blade and holding it above his hand as he dived downwards, he slashed the burning blade down towards the smiling Mereoleona and released a white hot beam of concentrated fire.

Smiling at his attempt, the ferocious captain of the Crimson Lions kicked off the rock with enough explosive force to shoot her through the air and charged towards the beam with her flaming fists active.

[Flame Magic - Calidus Brachium]

*BOOM!!*

Colliding with the beam with nothing but her fist, a earth shaking explosion rung out as a terrifying shockwave threatened to wake up all the magic lifeforms living on this volcano.

*SWOOSH!!*

Bursting through the dust cloud that the impact had created, Mereoleona who barely had a scuff mark on her charged towards the diving Grim with a scary smile on her face.

"THAT'S NOT ALL YOU'VE GOT RIGHT!!"

As the two closed in on the other, Grim's fiery blue aura transformed into a calming blue one.

"Huh?"

[Breath of Water: 3rd Form - Flowing Dance]

Unaware that Grim was capable of changing magic attributes, Mereoleona was caught off guard as Grim somehow managed to swerve past her punch and get behind her.

[Breath of Wind: 1st Form - Dust Whirlwind Cutter]

Surrounded by highspeed rotating wind blades that covered him from head to toe, Grim aimed the attack at her back. But to his surprise, Mereoleona kicked off the air allowing her evade the attack and closing in on Grim.

Activating [Flowing Dance] at the last second, he barely managed to avoid being sent flying by another flaming fist.

[Breath of Thunder: 3rd Form - Thunder Swarm]

*Whistle* "So it was more than just one type of magic type huh."

*BOOM!!*

Coating her self and expanding her fiery aura, the rotating thunder clashed with her aura and quickly dissipated.

But that was all part of Grim's plan. While she was focusing on his [Thunder Swarm], Grim had changed back to his blue flames and used to opportunity in which she was distracted to use his heightened fire resistance to break through her aura and appear in front of her with his sword thrusting towards her throat.

'I WIN!!'

*BOOM!!*

"ARGHHH!!!"

*BANG!!*

Detonating her aura while Grim was mere centimeters away from her, the black haired boy was sent hurtling downwards and crashed through several layers of the outer area of the volcano until he was good and buried.

Standing in the air, a proud looking felt a bit of wetness of her cheek. Touching it with her fingers, a hint of surprise flashed through her eyes as her finger was stained red from a shallow cut.

"Not bad cub." She smiled.

"ARRGHHHHHH!!!"

*BOOM!!*

[A/n: He's gone super saiyan!! lol]

"What now?" While Grim and Mereoleona had been fighting, Yami who was smoking a cig and Charlotte who was trying not to pass out from being so close to Yami were both watching the fight with minor interest.

Buried several feet into the volcano, an animalistic roar sounded out as blue light escaped the cracks before completely exploding and blowing away the rocks he was buried under.

'He's still capable of fighting? HOW FUN!!'

Lowering herself down onto one of the floating rocks on top of the lava, Mereoleona closed her eyes and waited for his return.

Unwilling to end things now, from deep underground Grim's aura shot into the sky as his flames swept away everything in its path.

'Something really is wrong with this kid.'

Making his way back up to the surface bathed in a sea of blue flames, Grim sent several rocks around him flying as his grimoire flew next to him showing a new page.

Ignoring the book, Grim's eyes were trained on a certain lioness as he flew over and landed on a floating rock opposite her.

Not saying a word, Mereoleona's eye snapped open as the image of a flaming lioness emerged behind her.

Feeling his battle lust being stimulated, Grim's grimoire started shining brightly as the image of a flaming blue tiger emerged behind his back.

[Breath of Blue Flames: 5th Form - Flaming Tiger]

"Heh, to think I thought you were lions cub, turns out you're a little tiger."

Smiling at her words, Grim's flaming tiger released a roar that gently shook the top of the volcano.

"What can I say?" He grinned. "When it comes to lions, only the females are capable of hunting right? My magic simply reflects the superior male creature that I am." While saying this he not so subtly indicated to his tiger.

[A/n: It truly astounds me that Grim can get his ass handed to him but cam still act so arrogantly... Actually, it doesn't.]

Hearing his words, Mereoleona's aura skyrocketed as even Yami and Charlotte started to focus on the situation.

'Ah shit, look like she's actually gonna kill him this time.'

Raising his own aura, Grim's body started to overflow with battle intent.

"Say that again."

"Make me." He grinned.

But just as these two were about to get it on, a familiar scream rang through the air.

"BWAAARRGGGGHHHHHH!!! HELP ME!! I CAN'T STOP!!"

Looking up at the sky, Asta who had somehow entered into his black form was heading straight towards Grim's figure.

Remembering how Asta's sword seemed to be attracted to the thing with the highest amount of mana, Grim couldn't help but say. "Oh fuck."

*BOOM!!*

Honestly don't think Grim did that bad. While Mereoleona was holding back throughout all 3 rounds of their conflict, Grim did manage to scratch her and not end up in the hospital. I call that a win.

And too bad Asta interrupted, yall missed witnessing Grim getting his ass beat. (As if anyone actually wants to see that).

But yeah, Grim ain't captain level yet, but he's progressed enough to leave a mark on someone like Mereoleona. Not a huge feat in the grand scheme of things but still impressive.

章 87: Real men

Switching to [Breath of Water] at the last minute, Grim narrowly evaded Asta's mana homing sword and responded in kind by switching to [Breath of Wind] and creating an air bomb in the middle of his palm. Using that rotating orb of compressed wind magic, he slammed it into Asta's side and sent him flying into the distance before he could sink both of them into the magma.

[A/n: Lol, Grim pulled a Minato]

*BOOM!!*

Releasing all the stored up wind magic the moment the orb touched Asta's body, a powerful wind explosion occurred that caused the spectating Yami, Charlotte and Mereoleona to cover their faces from the gusts.

"Urgh."

"Tch, how annoying."

By the time the explosion had died down and after watching Asta get sent flying away, the previous battle intent that both Grim and Mereoleona had accumulated had subsequently simmered. Having Asta interrupt really ruined the mood and the two of them felt like the moment had passed.

[A/n: Damn you Asta!]

---

"Took you lot long enough! Now who's ready for the hot spring!!"

"YEAH!!"

Watching Mereoleona raise the spirits of the recently arrived Crimson Lions, Grim stood in the background next to Yami with a deadpan look on his face.

After the interruption caused by Asta, he felt like his fight with the raging lioness had yet to be completed and this left him with a feeling of emptiness.

While Grim was thinking about this, Asta stood next to Yuno grinning like an idiot over the fact that he had consciously entered his Black form.

Looking up at the darkened sky, Grim realized that night had fallen and the volcano seemed to have calmed down.

'Weird.'

"All right you lousy lot! You have my permission to bathe in the hot spring!!" Mereoleona barked.

Walking to the edge and looking into the area where the hot spring was supposed to be, Grim's face made a complicated expression.

"You call that puddle a hot spring?"

No sooner after he had said those words did steamy hot water burst from the puddle turning the entire area into a naturally formed hot spring.

"WOAH!!"

"AWESOME!!"

"COOL!!"

Seeing the hot spring form, Asta and the other Crimson Lions looked on with starry eyes while Mereoleona looked at Grim with a smug face.

'This bitch...'

While everyone was amazed at the sight in front of them, Sol, a member of the Blue Roses that Grim had previously fought when he raided their hideout was having different thoughts.

'Hol up! There are men and women here! Don't tell me that lady Mereoleona wants us all to bathe together!!'

"NO NO NO!!" She abruptly shouted catching everyone off guard. "Men are absolutely not allowed to see sis's clean and chaste body!!"

'Why does this bitch seem like someone who would enjoy the Witches Forest?'

Not getting an answer to his question, Sol's grimoire flashed open as she created a earth wall that divided the hot spring into two parts.

"Alright everyone! Into the water!!" Mereoleona yelled.

"HELL YEAH!!"

---

-Inside the hot spring-

"Think your so friggin cool huh! Well try this heat on for size!" Standing in front of Yuno, Leo was actively heating up the water and trying to break Yuno's cool guy façade.

"What are you talking about? Did you raise the heat or something?" Yuno said smugly while sweating intensely.

Sitting at the side, Grim watched them while recalling his fight with Mereoleona. FInally having a moment to think about it, he realized that he had made quite a few rookie mistakes. But more than that, he realized just how exceptional Ms lioness really was. Throughout the entire fight she had only used a single spell. Even Yami had to use two or three when fighting him, but she managed to completely dominate him using one spell.

'Why are all the people I'm meeting just getting stronger and stronger?'

It was a shame that he was unable to continue his fight with her as he felt that he was improving at a rapid pace. Compared to the second fight he had with her, in their third round he was at least able to leave a mark on her.

'Hah, well there'll be time in the future.'

Closing his eyes, a look of satisfaction finally formed.

After battling her he had learnt quite a few things. But the biggest thing he was able to take away from the experience was his new fire magic spell [Flame Tiger]. After acquiring this spell he finally understood why his lightning magic had been so stagnant over the past 6 months. Similar to his fire magic which was also growing stagnant, he simply needed to be hit by magic that vastly exceeded his current elemental resistance. Mereoleona's flames were hot enough to make him to sweat, getting hit by her naturally caused his masochistic ability to gain new spells to activate.

'So I just need to get hit by someone whose lightning magic is stronger than Luck's huh... Guess I better start searching.'

"Oi Grim!" Yami called out. "Stop day dreaming, we're about to go peeking." He pointed at the earth wall.

"WHAT!!" Several of the Crimson Lions looked at him horrified.

"ARE YOU CRAZY!!"

"DO YOU WANT TO KILL US!!"

"Quit making excuses!" Yami snapped. "If you were born a man, then this is something you must do! Even if it costs you your life."

*BOOM!!*

As if an explosion went off in their brains, a look of realization flashed onto the faces of the Crimson lions.

'So this is what it means to be a man!'

As Yami opened his mouth to continue speaking about how peeking on a woman's naked body was a sacred writ of passage for all men, holy music seemed to descend from the heavens as the light of the moon bathed Yami in its glow.

[A/n: WTF lol]

"No matter what kind of man you are, its all the same. You want to see them to don't you Mr. cool?"

"Not really." Seeing Yami look at him, Yuno quickly turned his head to the side as to not look suspicious.

"Is that so." Grabbing onto Yuno's head and beginning to squeeze, Yami began to go all gangsta on him. "Think you're to good to peek with us huh you little shit stain?"

"Please stop captain Yami!!" Asta jumped in trying to defend his childhood friend and rival.

"Yuno really doesn't want to see! Ever since he was a child he's only taken baths with other men!"

Hearing Asta say that, everyone's expressions changed when they looked at Yuno.

Seeing their expressions, a throbbing vein appeared on Yuno's forehead.

"Asta, you bastard. You really picked the worse way to phrase that."

Ignoring what they were saying, Leo was thinking about what his brother would do in this situation.

'My brother is the manliest man I know, would he peek?'

"No!" Leo suddenly yelled. "My brother wouldn't condone these types of actions! In fact, it'd probably send him into a rage and he'd try to stop us!"

"What the hell are you talking about? Shouldn't you be aiming to surpass your brother? Why would you copy something he would do?"

*BOOM!!*

Feeling a second explosion going off in his mind for the second time today, Leo jumped out of the water and led the charge.

"LETS SEE SOME TIDDIES!!"

"HELL YEAH!!" Everyone else screamed and followed behind him.

'Why are you all getting so fired up? And one of those girl's are related to you Leo.'

"Oi Grim." Yami called. "You coming or what?"

Thinking about it now, Grim was quite curious about the naked body of the woman who was able to beat him. Of course seeing the other girls naked would be a nice bonus.

"I'm in." He nodded and stood up.

---

"ARGHHH!!"

"SAVE ME!!"

"FORGIVE ME! FORGIVE ME!!"

*BOOM!!*

*BOOM!!*

*BOOM!!*

Watching the Crimson Lions getting tossed and beaten by the girls, Grim stood high in the air watching the bouncy parts of the naked women jiggle.

'Noelle's got a decent rack... Who would have guessed.'

*Sigh* 'If I knew it would have been like this I would have invited Vanessa and Mimosa... Maybe Rebecca as well.'

Rating the girls in his mind, Grim was struggling to decide whether Charlotte or Mereoleona was number one.

"FOR GOD'S SAKE SAVE US!!"
