"Kyoya, you can't be serious, can you? We were struggling so much just to beat Vanica. Do you think you can beat Megicula on your own?"
"Have faith in your senpai. After all, when it comes to slaying devils, no one is better than me. You've grown strong, Noelle. I'll kill that devil, for the sake of all of its victims. But for now, help him keep an eye on Loropechika."
The moment Kyoya said this, the ice that held Loropechika shatters as a single figure held the Queen of the Heart Kingdom in his arms. When Noelle looked in that direction, she saw one single person standing before her with a tiny devil on his shoulders.
"Good to see you safe and sound, Noelle and Kyoya-senpai!!!!"
"Heh, we're not safe and sound at all dumbass."
As Asta was glad to see his comrades, he heard Liebe speak to him on his shoulder. For one, Loropechika has many curses on her that need to be broken. Second, Asta and himself don't stand a chance against Megicula without Devil Union. While this happened, Kyoya stood in front of Asta and Noelle.
"Noelle, Asta. When we first met, I saw you two as nothing but annoying brats."
"What the heck Kyoya?! We meet again and that's what you have to say?!"
"Pretty much you obnoxiously loud midget. However, it's thanks to you two........that I was able to surpass my own personal limits. A girl who couldn't properly control her magic and a guy with no magic who wants to be Wizard King. After seeing you two grow so much, how can I call myself your senior if I let you surpass me?"
As Kyoya said this, Liebe felt a shiver down his spine as an icy wind filled the area as Kyoya was releasing some of his magic power. The moment Kyoya lunged for Megicula, he said one thing to Noelle and Asta.
"Sorry, but i'm going to have to steal your thunder. After all, i'm going to surpass my limit! Sit back and watch. This is your senpai's will that you're about to witness!!!!!"
As Kyoya lunged towards her, Megicula began to smile. Due to the result of her and Vanica's hobby, there were multitudes of dead disciples underneath this tower. With the power of the devils, along with the power of Acier Silva and Vanica whose souls she controls, Megicula created living corpses of blood and steel.
"Good luck against my army, my love. Against all one hundred of them."
"Ice-Make:Heavy Knights!!!!!!!"
With his grimoire opened, Kyoya created multiple-sized knights made of ice, these knights are composed of multiple large knights wielding spears and giant knights wielding a pair of lances and shields. Soon the knights that Kyoya created were now doing battle against the one hundred corpses Megicula created. As this happened, Kyoya was dashing through the battlefield as Noelle and Asta watched.
"Is that guy insane? He's been fighting here longer than us, he should be at his limit. Does he really think he can defeat a high ranking devil on his own?"
"He can do it, Liebe. After all, Kyoya-senpai is someone Captain Yami and Vice-Captain Nacht acknowledge!"
As Kyoya was heading for Megicula, he saw a small number of her soldiers heading for him. Seeing this, he swung down his right arm as they were all frozen in ice from his Devil Slayer Magic. As Kyoya was getting closer, Megicula began to smile.
"Interesting. I can see why Vanica valued you so much, Kyoya Fullbuster! Curse-Warding Magic:Thorn Garden!!!!!"
Utilizing her Curse-Warding Magic to use Thorn Curse, Megicula summoned multiple large thorns that ensnared and pierced Kyoya's flesh simultaneously. However, the boy soon used his ice magic to freeze the thorns and shatter them. As more were heading towards him, he decided to fight fire with fire.
"Ice-Make:Rose Garden!!!!!!"
With his grimoire opened, Kyoya releases chunks of ice in the form of roses and thorns towards Megicula. The moment this spell clashed with Megicula's thorns, the thorns were frozen solid. Kyoya didn't stop his charge. He was so close to achieving his goal. He will make the devil that ruined his life pay.
"Ice-Make:Freeze Lancer!!!!!"
With his grimoire opened, Kyoya created lances of ice that, once fired, were being launched at Megicula from multiple directions. Seeing this, Megicula smiled as she saw the boy struggling in an attempt to take her life.
"Curse-Warding Magic:Exploding Spiral!!!!!!"
While utilizing Bomb Curse, Megicula
brings her arm behind her while gathering energy, and consequently swings her other arm forward, swiping it in the direction of Kyoya and his spell. This action creates a large explosion in the form of a spiral that covers a large area, melting Kyoya's spell and colliding with the boy himself.
"This is it for you, Kyo-"
"I hate to admit it, but these flames actually taste good."
When Megicula looked ahead, she couldn't believe what she was witnessing. Kyoya was eating the flames that originated from her Bomb Curse. Not only that, she felt his magic power increase as he devoured the flames. When he was done eating, Kyoya said one thing before charging towards Megicula.
"Now I got a fire in my belly!!!!"
Megicula felt something as Kyoya lunged towards her. Her heart was beating at an incredible rate, however, this was different from her usual love that she had for Kyoya. Without noticing it, Megicula quickly tried to keep Kyoya away from her.
"This feeling. Knowing he has a magic that can kill me, my heart continues to race knowing if he gets close, i'll die. What is this feeling? I hate it. I hate it! I HATE IT!!!"
"Curse-Warding Magic:Dea Yggdrasil!!!!!"
While utilizing Thorn Curse, Megicula creates a massive spinning sphere from her hand from where an immense wooden beam is fired at Kyoya. As Kyoya clenched his fists, he began to remember something. The words of the deceased, the words of those Megicula robbed of a future.
"Grow strong, Kyoya."
"Ice Devil's Fang!!!!!!!!"
With his grimoire opened, Kyoya jumps high in the air and clads his arms in ice. The moment his fists collided with Megicula's spell, the spell was frozen in ice and was then struck by consecutive punches as Kyoya shattered it. Soon Kyoya lunged forward, Megicula began to shiver as she now wants Kyoya to stay away from her.
"Stay away from me. STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!!"
"Curse-Warding Magic:Explosion!!!!!"
While using Thorn Curse, Megicula with a simple swipe of her index and middle finger, creates a rose composed of magical power directly ahead of her that completely engulfs its nearby vicinity in a destructive explosion. Meanwhile, Noelle and Asta looked at the fight in shock.
"Is....Is Megicula afraid of Kyoya?"
"It makes sense, Noelle. After all........."
As Megicula was looking forward, she didn't see Kyoya in her sights. As a breath of relief escaped her lips, a fist covered in ice struck her face as she was sent flying. The moment she looked ahead, it felt as if time itself was slowing down as Kyoya made his approach.
"......Kyoya-senpai is the Clover Kingdom's ace!!!!"
As Kyoya was making his way towards Megicula, he saw the devil create more of her soldiers. Before the soldiers could attack, Kyoya quickly swung his right arm in the air as he froze the soldiers solid. The moment he got close to Megicula, two things went through his mind.
"Hold onto your weakness....your precious flaws....it's those little things that have a big impact on your life."
"Kyoya......grow strong and live."
"Fire Dragon King Mode!"
The moment Kyoya thought about Kurono and Natsu's final moments, he ribbed off the bandages on his left arm, letting the mark of the Fire Dragon King be revealed as he entered Fire Dragon King Mode. As he glared at Megicula, he raised his left fist as he gathered his strength. Meanwhile, Megicula was shaking like a leaf.
"This feeling. Is this what humans call...fear? Hehehehe. Hahahahahahaha!!!!! For a mere human to make me feel both love and fear! Amazing! Truly amazing, you and you alone are the only one I love and fear, Kyoya Fullbuster!!"
"Dad, Kurono, Natsu, everyone in the Clover Kingdom. Thank you. If it wasn't for you all, I probably wouldn't be here. So that's why.....let me clean up this mess. Once and for all."
"Eat shit, Megicula!!!!! Fire Dragon King's......."
Blood escaped from his mouth as he felt the curse taking affect one last time. With Kyoya's left fist engulfed in flames and approaching her body, Megicula let a smile form on her face as she felt her body slowly disintegrating just from the intense heat alone. As Kyoya's fist was about to make contact with her chest, Megicula thought to herself.
"Kyoya Fullbuster.....what a beautiful and terrifying creature you are."
".......DEMOLITION FIST!!!!!!"
