'So what if you're a royal! In front of a devil *raises hand* its doesn't mean a damn thing!'
*SWOOSH!!*
*SWOOSH!!*
*SWOOSH!!*
Thrusting his hand out and extending his fingers, numerous bone whips flew out from his back and shot straight towards Yuno at blinding speeds.
!!!
Faced with the fast approaching bone whips, Yuno followed Zenon's example by thrusting his own arm forward. With the added affect of making the wind flap the bottom of his coat up, he looked like a hero straight out of a fairy tale.
[Star Magic: Quartile Scutum]
*BANG!!*
*BANG!!*
*BANG!!*
Deploying four stars and arranging them into a rectangular shape, four beams of white light burst out from the stars and connected them to each other. Connected along the edges of the rectangle, the inside of the rectangle hardened with star light and formed a powerful 2D barrier.
*Frowns*
Watching as his bone whips slammed into Yuno's barrier without causing the slightest bit of damage, the corners of Zenon's lips fell. But so what if that barrier could withstand his bone whips? Bone magic wasn't was all he had.
[Spatial Magic: Spatial Mana Domination]
Falling back into his old habbits and unleashing his most useful spell. Yuno suddenly found himself trapped inside a cube-like subspace separated from the outside world.
'This again.'
Cautious of him forming another defensive barrier, Zenon intentionally made it so that no stars were trapped inside the cube with him.
Now he was truly defenceless.
'Its over.'
Using [Endless Fangs] to cover the inside of the cube with sharpened bone spears. Zenon attacked him from every direction.
DIE!!
Trapped in the centre of the cube and watching as the endless number of bone spears closed in on him, Yuno failed to react as he stared Zenon down.
The last time he had faced this spell, he was only able to break out of it because he was loved by mana and had honed his magic control to the limit. But in front Zenon who now possessed the power of a true devil, such a method was no longer viable.
But who said he was going to use that method?
Zenon had made a mistake.
*Holds two fingers up.*
Trapping him was good-
*Makes a circle in the air.*
But leaving out his stars-
*Smiles*
Well that was bad.
[Star Magic: Conjunction]
Suddenly vanishing from inside of the cube, Zenon's eyes went wide.
WHERE-
*Blink*
Soundlessly blinking back into existence and emerging out from behind Zenon, a star hung above Yuno's head as he gripped the [Spirit of Zephyr].
'Instantaneous teleportation!'
[Star Magic: Quartile Hasta]
*BEAAAAM!!*
W-What!!
Wordlessly activating his next spell, Zenon watched helplessly as a huge beam of concentrated starlight tore away the upper right half of his torso.
'His magic... its faster than my reaction time.'
"Oi Zenon." Yuno suddenly called out and grinned.
"I'm gonna crush you."
***
"Pffthahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!"
How fucking arrogant!
Watching the fight with a huge grin on his face, Grim had to admit that Yuno was acting real ballsy.
So the lost prince returns to save his kingdom from the big bad devil. Ha! You can't make this shit up!
If the story of the first wizard king defeating demon Licht made someone like Asta this crazy, he couldn't even imagine what the story of prince Yuno would do to the Spade Kingdom youth.
This was definitely one for the history books.
Having already won his bet with Yami, he was fully focused on the fight.
"Tch, at least tell me what's going on."
Knowing that shit was going down through the fluctuations in mana but unable to directly perceive it due to his ki reading abilities being several times weaker than Grim's, Yami had to ask for a play by play commentary.
But seriously, 2 grimoires? What the hell is this world coming to?
At this rate, he wouldn't be surprised if aliens suddenly descended from the sky and crowned themselves as their natural rulers.
But even more surprising than finding out that a being possessing 2 grimoires now exists, the smile on Grim's face was the most unsettling thing here.
Despite all these insane events happening, not a hint of worry could be seen in that boy's eyes. If anything, they looked a little hungry.
***
*CLANG!!* *CLANG!!* *CLAAAANG!!*
Filling the space with an endless amount of bone spears. Rage and humiliation surged through Zenon's heart as he used his bone sword to parry Yuno's strike.
How could this be?
*TING!!* *TING!!*
I attained the power of a devil-
*TING!!* *TING!!*
Sacrificed everything I had-
*TING!!* *TING!!*
Abandoned my humanity-
*TING!!* *TING!!*
So how...
*TING!!* *TING!!*
HOW COULD I LOSE TO YOU!
*BAANG!!*
"Arghhh!!"
Pushing Yuno back, Zenon's mana surged through the area.
I WON'T ACCEPT THIS!
Controlling the limitless amount of bones in the area, he ruthlessly attacked Yuno from every direction.
I CAN'T LOSE,
*SWOOSH!!* *SWOOSH!!* *SWOOSH!!*
NOT HERE,
*SWOOSH!!* *SWOOSH!!* *SWOOSH!!*
NOT NOW,
*SWOOSH!!* *SWOOSH!!* *SWOOSH!!*
NOT TO YOU!!
*Blink!*
Using [Conjuction] to teleport between stars and avoid the ever growing sea of bones. Thread-like starlight connected to all four stars formed in Yuno's hand.
[Star Magic: Quartile Flagellum]
*SWISH!!*
Wielding the thread-like starlight like a whip, he flicked his wrist and sliced through the surrounding bones in one smooth motion.
But his whip didn't stop there.
Flicking his wrist again, the momentum of the whip suddenly changed directions.
*SLASH!!*
Cutting through the air at a dangerous speed, the whip descended upon Zenon and vertically split him straight down the middle destroying the huge wall behind him in the process.
*Grrrrrrr*
Growling deeply, the look on Zenon's face was anything but pretty. Growing increasingly annoyed by his antics, the moment his body reformed he planned to thoroughly eliminate this pest once and for all.
[Bone Magic x Spatial Magic: Demon Sword Dainsleif]
Following Grim's lead by coating his sword in spatial magic, Zenon performed his own solo union.
Now then - Die.
[Spatial Magic: Spatial Rupture]
*VOOM!!* *VOOM!!* *VOOM!!*
Holding the sword tightly and randomly swinging it around, a weird humming noise echoed out as several slashes of offensive spatial magic tore through space destroying everything they came into contact with.
Walls,
Bones,
Stars.....
***
"Oh?" A surprised hum echoed out of Grim's mouth.
That's... Not a true union combo.
Rather than true union magic, Zenon had merely overlapped spatial magic on top of bone magic. Such a thing could not compare to his [Breath of the Storm] or [Breath of the Kitsune]. If anything, it was closer to Conrad's Compound Form.
As for Yuno's stars-
'So they don't regenerate quickly... Interesting.'
