The Legend Grows

Surrounded by a soft hue, a flash of yellow light sped through the sky at unimaginable speeds.

"Its Grim!!"

"He saved us!"

"Long live the king of the commoners!"

Landing on the ground and destroying the elves terrorizing the Clover kingdom citizens, the sight of Grim protecting them etched its way into their memories and subconsciously elevated his status to that of a king.

"H-How is this possible!" A defeated elf screamed looking at his severed arm and then back at the white haired Grim. "You're just a filthy half br-

*Slash*

eed"

Unsheathing his sword, a thin vertical line appeared on the elf's face as Grim split him in half from head to crotch.

*Clink*

Turning his back on the wide eyed elf, he slowly sheathed his sword back into its scabbard and listened to the sound of both halves of the elf's body hit the ground when he was done.

---

"There's too many!!" A magic knight yelled as he and his squad mates faced off against dozens of flying elven magic knights.

"Hold your ground! We can't let them attack the citizens."

'Dammit! We won't be able to hold out at this rate!'

"Pffthahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" The elves burst into hysterical laughter as they watched the human magic knights struggle to keep up.

"How could such a pathetic species like this wipe us out? We must have been to kind to them."

"Mmm." A female elf nodded. "We won't make that mistake again."

Looking down on the humans below them, the elves rained down a barrage of magic down on them.

"Goodbye humans."

'This-This is the end.'

Watching the descending magic, the magic knights had no choice but accept their fate.

"What!!" The elves exclaimed in shock seeing their magic get torn up.

"Heh, for a bunch of weaklings, you sure are arrogant."

'That voice-

Forgetting that they were grossly outnumbered for the moment, all the human magic knights span around and saw a white haired young man in tattered robes whose figure overlapped with a certain black haired magic knight from the royal knight exam.

"Its you." One of them muttered remembering the boy's brutal actions from the exam.

"Hmm?" Grim raised an eyebrow seeing the magic knights and trembling citizens behind them.

This action didn't last longer than half a second as he went over to one of the magic knights and handed him something.

"Hold this."

"Wha-

Not waiting for a response, he shoved it into his hands and focused his attention back on the flying elves.

"White hair, glowing yellow eyes... *clenches fists* he's the half breed Rhya warned us about."

"Oh? What should we do?" One of the elves asked. "Rhya said we should run if we see him."

"Forget that!" The elf said with bloodshot eyes. "To dare mix our noble bloodline with such an inferior species! Just looking at him makes me si-

"Neck."

Ignoring the conversation happening above him, Grim slashed his sword infront of him and watched as the head of the elf who was talking suddenly departed from its body.

*SPLAT!!*

"AHHHHHH!!!" The citizens screamed seeing the decapitated head fall from the sky.

With the head no longer attached to its body, a fountain of blood spurt out from the neck and the body fell from the sky.

"W-What just happened." The female elf slowly turned her head to the side only to see her brother's decapitated head leave its body.

"B-Brother..."

"Weak." Grim's voice resounded out once more as he said.

"Neck."

*Splat*

"Neck."

*Splat*

"Neck."

*Splat*

Repeating the word over and over again, countless numbers of elven heads rained down from the sky decorating the floor until only the sister of the first dead elf was left.

"Why." Was all she could mutter.

Having the elf who shared their levitation magic with them die, the girl fell to her knees and looked up at the white haired Grim who was looking down on her.

Lifting his sword above his head, Grim's glowing yellow eyes bore into the girl as he smiled and said "Because I can."

*Slash*

"Its Gauche and Mary!!" Asta yelled as he and the others faced off against the elves dwelling in their friend's bodies.

While all this was happening, Vanessa, Luck, Sally and Magna fought against elven Dorothy Unsworth in her glamour world.

---

"Welcome back you two."

Stepping out of their growing tanks, the new bodies of the reincarnated Vetto and Fana greeted the smiling Rhya.

"Rhya!" The two gasped seeing how most of his hair had turned white.

"Your hair... *sigh* I'm guessing this means everything went to plan." Vetto sighed disappointed that he couldn't have done more to help out.

"Mmm." Rhya nodded. "How much do you remember?"

"I-" Vetto opened his mouth and suddenly clenched his fists. "That black bull bastard!"

Remembering the sight of Yami slashing down, a burst of bloodlust escaped out of his body.

Compared to Vetto's anger, Fana's face was covered in sweat as her body started trembling in terror as she remembered her last moments.

"G-G-Grim." She stuttered remembering that young black haired boy who pummeled her and her spirit into oblivion.

!!!

"GRIM!!" Hearing that name, something inside of Rhya seemed to snap as he grabbed onto Fana's shoulders.

"Did you just say Grim?! As in the person!" He yelled completely losing his cool.

"Ow! Rhya you''re hurting me!" She winced.

Realizing what he was doing, he quickly backed up and apologised.

"Sorry."

"Woah Rhya, you okay? Never seen you freak out like that." Vetto commented seeing his old friend lose control.

"And whose this Grim guy?"

Watching the elves they struggled to fight against being slaughtered in front of their eyes, the magic knights didn't quite know how to feel. On one hand they were glad that the threat had been eliminated, on the other they felt wholely inadequate. While they might have been outnumbered, to have a single mage do something an entire unit couldn't left a bad taste in their mouth.

And while all that may be true, they all shared a single thought as they watched him wipe out the remaining elves.

'Thank god he's on our side.'
