"Kl...aus... Ha..mon..."

Crucified up on a steel cross with her arms spread wide, a tired and beaten looking Mimosa looked on her elf reincarnated companions.

"Humph! Filthy royalty." Elf Klaus spat with disgust.

'What happened to these guys? Their magic and personality... Its like they're completely different people... and Yuno... Whatever happened to them seems to be happening to him as well... But the biggest threat still seems to be the individual floating in the air...'

"Licht... Its good to see you again." Elf Hamon said in an almost sobbing state as he looked at Licht's levitating figure.

"Its okay." Elf Klaus placed his hand on his shoulder and also looked up at Licht. "He's just asleep for the moment, we'll all be together again once he wakes up."

"Mmm." Elf Hamon nodded. "Speaking of waking up."

*Looks at Yuno*

"It seems he is still not aware of himself yet."

"So it seems... But he'll be with us in time. For now we should focus on wiping out these humans before their kind spreads any further."

'This is bad! I don't know what happened to them but, I think a lot of people are going to get hurt if I don't stop these two. I just need to figure out how to get off of this cross. C'mon Mimosa, you can do this.'

Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, Mimosa grit her teeth as she prepared to activate her magic. Even if she was in front of these two, there was no way she'd be taken out so easily!

*Breathes in*

*Breathes out*

'What is that thing Grim's always saying?'

*Breathes in*

*Breathes out*

'Go further beyond.'

*Breathes in*

'Push yourself to the edge' .

*Breathes in*

*Breathes out*

'And once you're there...'

*Breathes in*

*Breathes out*

'SURPASS YOUR LIMIT!'

*BANG!!*

"Huh?"

"So this is where he sent me." A voice echoed out from the centre on the dust cloud.

'This- This voice!'

"From 5 elves down to 2... no 3... no 4... Heh, if it weren't for that one levitating in the air, I'd say he sent you guys to the slaughter." The voice laughed aloud.

[Breath of Wind]

*WOOSH!!*

Using his magic, Grim cleared away all the dust and revealed himself to the others.

"GRIM!!" Mimosa gasped seeing him. But quickly calmed down.

'No... That's not Grim... Grim's hair is black and-

"Yo Mimosa." Grim waved finally taking notice of her. "Looking pretty biblical."

"Eh?... Grim?"

"Who else." He grinned.

"B-But your hair! Its white! And your eyes are glowing! Not to mention your mana."

"You forgot to mention my ears."

"You're ears? What's wrong with them?"

"What's wrong with them? Obviously they're-

*Touches ear*

'Eh? Why aren't they long anymore? No... I can still feel that they're a bit pointy. But the length has returned to what it was in my normal form... Does this mean my transformation finally ended?'

"And your face!" Mimosa stared at him with a serious expression before suddenly blushing.

"What's wrong with my face?"

"I-Its becoming more handsome."

"What!?"

After saying what she said, the whole of Mimosa's face turn bright red as if someone had lit it up.

'Its become more handsome... I think one of my fractured memories from earth mentioned that elves were naturally beautiful creatures by human standards... But could transforming really change my appearance that much? I mean my face should still be the same right? Maybe my form just makes humans perceive me differently... Now that I think about it, couldn't I get the other half of the noble ladies in the capital if that's the case?'

While Grim was busy conversing with Mimosa, elf Klaus and Hamon were trying to understand who this person in front of them was.

He clearly felt like an elf, but something was telling them that he wasn't one of them.

"Who are you!" Klaus yelled. "State your name and-

"Shut up."

!!!

*BANG!!*

'W-What the hell is this pressure!'

Forced onto their knees by Grim's killing intent, the two elves found themselves sweating bullets as they struggled to stand up.

But right as they were about to struggle even more, every elf in the base was sent a mental message via one of their comrade's magic spells.

'This voice... ITS RHYA!!'

"Listen up everyone!! If you run into someone with white hair and glowing eyes who doesn't bȧrė the mark of reincarnation, run! HE'S NOT ONE OF US! HE'S A HALF BREED BETWEEN HUMAN AND ELF! I REPEAT! DO NOT FIGHT HIM! STAY OUT OF HIS WAY AND LET-

Before he could finish his sentence, the message suddenly got cut.

---

(Rhya and the other elves)

"Sorry to interupt but-

*Release flame magic*

"I've got to clean you guys up."

"Woah Mereoleona! There's five of them." Asta gasped walking into the room with Zora next to him.

---

"Half breed..."

For some reason, hearing that a member of their race had mixed with a member of the race that exterminated infuriated both Hamon and Klaus to the point that they were able to stand to their feet despite Grim's overwhelming pressure.

"Hoh?" Grim raised a brow.

"Half breed, half breed, half breed, HALF BREED!!" Klaus roared which caused Grim to be slightly surprised.

But while Elf Klaus was screaming like a madman, no one noticed that the floating Licht's hand moved slightly everytime the word half breed was said. Almost like he was having a reaction.

"You know who I am?" Grim laughed. "Ha, so Rhya had a way to communicate with you guys huh. Well that makes things easier."

[Breath of the Beast]

"Its only suitable that I use this magic to hunt you guys."

"DIE YOU FILTHY MUTT!!" Klaus screamed as he and Hamon fired off their steel and glass magic.

[Crazy Cutting]

*SLASH* *SLASH* *SLASH*

"What!!"

"Our attacks... He cut them!"

"Yo Mimosa." Grim called out without turning back. "How long you gonna stay up there?"

"What do you mea-

*Shatter*

Before she could go any further, the shackles restraining her to the cross suddenly shattered causing her to free herself and land behind Grim.

"Took you long enough." He grinned ramping his mana up even further.

'How did he- But he was attacking Klaus and Ham- Don't tell me he managed to cut my restraints while also fending off the two of them! But thats... That should be impossible! To split his attention like that while fighting against 2 enhanced magic knights capable of joining the Royal knights... That shouldn't be possible even for Grim!'

"Don't think about it to much." Grim's voice snapped her out of her confused state.

*Looks up at the floating Licht*

"And besides, if something like that is enough to scare you, what happens next might kill you. Now if you can excuse me, I've got some prey to hunt."

*BOOM!!*

*FWOOSH!!*

'FAST!!'

"DEFEND!!" Klaus yelled as he brought up a giant steel shield.

*SLASH!!*

!!!

'He cut through it!'

"PEEK A BOO!!"

[Glass Creation Magic: Verre Fleur]

Throwing his hands up into the air, elf Hamon created a series of sharp glasses that shot up from the ground.

"DON'T GET COCKY YOU FILTHY HALF BREED!!"

It was just too bad that with [Hyper Focus] and his enhanced senses boosted by his [Breath of the Beast] base, these glass shards would never touch him.

[CRAZY CUTTING!!]

Activating this spell again, every shard of glass that had risen out of the ground was immediately shattered.

"RETREAT!!" Klaus yelled as the two of them jumped back.

"DON'T RUN! WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED!!" Grim laughed maniacally as he thoroughly enjoyed himself.

[Breath of the Beast: Sudden Throwing Strike]

Just as he was about to summon another steel shield, Hamon grabbed onto him and jumped out of the way while yelling.

"THOSE SWORDS IGNORE DEFENCE! FOCUS ON EVASION!"

"Hah, so you figured that out!"

Noticing that the two of them had created some distance between him and them, Grim was about to go at them again but suddenly stopped.

'I can go faster than this... Yeah, I couldn't feel it before while I was in my human form, but in this state... I might be able to access more parts of my magic without needing outside stimuli.'

Closing his eyes and recalling the feeling of when he first attained [Breath of the Beast] all those years ago, Grim felt something in his magic change as his grimoire started pulsing with energy.

"What's he doing?" Hamon asked confused over the fact that Grim was no longer chasing them.

"Who cares! Kill that dirty half breed while he's distracted!!"

Nodding his head, the two elves fired off two high class magic spells at the motionless Grim.

"GRIM!!" Mimosa screamed.

!!!

Feeling his eyes snap open, time seemed to slow down around him as he felt his body ripple with power. Lowering his centre of gravity slightly, Grim felt the muscles in his body tense as his grimoire released a bright gray light.
