*A few hours back*
Nacht was running like his life depended on it; the way he ran was similar to 'the dash after switching lights off in the night.'
After he got the news about the invasion of the Diamond Kingdom, his worst fear flashed before him. Which was being left out of a major world event like a mob character.
The last thing he wanted to experience was becoming a mob character in his Shadow's avatar.
(I hope I am not late) he wished in his heart
Nacht was rushing forward, hopping shadows running through woods, giving no regard as he stepped on the Magic Beasts, peacefully enjoying their private time at night.
{{"WHO THE FUCK IT WAS? THAT BROKE MY FUCKING BACK!!!"}} the beasts were annoyed and angry and started roaring, creating minor chaos in the wilderness that escalated pretty fast.
After planting the seed of chaos inside the whole forest, Nacht came out of it and saw a trail of torches going down a path. They were the survivors that were homeless now and were navigating in the wilderness, and that too, without any proper protection from Magic Knights.
Magic Knights were getting their asses handed to them after being used as a fleshlight, so nobody from them took care of these filthy mudblo... commoners.
Now, with the involvement of one shady ass ninja wanna-be, the whole wilderness was chaotic. With Nacht breaking the backs of so many Mana Beasts from behind, they were furious about him smacking and dashing before taking responsibility.
So, as usual, the Mana Beasts were looking for prey that could take responsibility for their broken backs, with their target not having any idea about it.
[IDK, call me a genius because I came up with these jokes. Props if you get the references]
Before things heated up and half of the survivors were forced to take 'responsibilities' of these Mana Beasts, Nacht ran into them.
Almost all of the survivors shat in their pants when they saw this man seemingly appear out of thin air in front of them.
Nacht asked them what happened in the town and where they were headed. Also, he told them the route to the closest city from their location as a repayment of the info.
"They started before me!! Unforgivable!!" Pure rage was seething out from his body, and his Mana was responding accordingly.
His two devils were scared shitless and just sitting in his shadows, not wanting to involve themselves.
Nacht took off like a madman, faster than before, filled with anger. The intent released by Nacht was enough to scare off all the living from his way.
(They must pay for this sin, leaving me out of this world event, they're Courting Death!)
(My fame!!! GONE!)
(My Celebrity INTRO TO THE WORLD! GONNNNEEEE!!!)
(NOOO, I must GO THERE AND STEAL THE SHOW)
(BUT HOW?)
(YESssss! I HAVE TO BE THE FLASHIEST)
(I'LL DO THE EXPLOSION)
The apparent idea that Nacht got was equivalent to saying a 'yo mama' joke and adding a @everyone tag on the discord server.
Nacht was just hoping that the town didn't get destroyed entirely before he got there; at least he would have a legend carved down in history that a legendary figure destroyed this town in one strike.
When town Kiten arrived a visual distance from Nacht, his Mana became more chaotic and rampant. If Superior Spirit Undine saw this, she would have squirted with fear at the sheer amount of THICK Mana emanating from his body.
(WHYYYY??? I CAN NOT WISH FOR ANYTHING NOW????)
He was genuinely angry for the first time in this world. His whole life of preparing and training, he missed his first chance to become famous and show off what he had worked for this entire time.
This was the debut of Shadow Garden! Wasted!
The town was visibly in shambles, smoke and smell emanating and spreading over miles of radius. One doesn't need to be a genius to say that this town was on its last straw.
Warriors and Knights from both sides were hiding and holing themselves, making a makeshift camp and securing strategic positions.
Numerous hiding camps were set up all around the city in the most inconspicuous positions, camouflaging them. They were a kind of barrier artifact that erased life presences inside its range. These hiding camps were used to treat the injured soldiers and let them recover their Mana.
Many people from both sides were patrolling the streets, and minor skirmishes were happening all around the city because of all the accidental run-ins with each other.
Nacht then entered the town sneakily, veiling his exterior Mana to avoid detections, and then a genuine smile and a sigh of relief crept up on his face.
He sensed people from inside the city that were patrolling and guarding around on the streets, and a lightbulb popped above his head. (I better not miss this chance, even if the audience is less than desired, fame is fame.)
What Nacht didn't sense was hundreds of people inside makeshift 'hiding camps,' as their life signs were erased, and Nacht was in too much of a hurry to properly investigate.
He just wanted to bust his nu... Mana in front of an audience. He wanted to become famous as a Mysterious entity that roams the land.
Nacht's idea was to pay back the sins they committed. He formulated his Mana to make his voice reach every corner of the city. And as for explosion? Simple. he just wanted to collapse and combust his 70% off the entire Mana pool in one go, making something akin to an atom bomb.
(They dare court death in front of me!!!! I WILL SHOW THEM TRUE ART!)
He came up with an impactful speech at that moment and started his act. He also went in his devil form for extra spice.
(FUUUUUUULLL POWWAAAA!!!!) After his short but mysterious intro, he activated the explosion and used his remaining Mana to teleport himself far out from the town of Kiten.
The whole town, which now consisted of soldiers from both sides, and some unlucky surviving citizens, were watching Nacht as he finished his speech.
Everyone was dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events; a random shady dude came out of nowhere and sent chills down their spine. Were they always this weak?
Milliseconds before the explosion and before Nacht dipped the town. Nacht sensed something odd (Why are there more than fifteen thousand life signals detected in my Partial Mana Zone?)
And then Nacht understood; many people were hiding inside the town, and he just lit it up like a crackhead.
Realizing the upcoming explosion was way bigger than expected while teleporting, Nacht had only one thought in his mind. (I fucked up, didn't I?)
(Oh lord, please save us, I don't care that I am a devil anymore) Gimodelo whispered
EKUSPROSHAAAN!!!

[A/N: SPOILERS TO BLACK CLOVER MANGA!
I think I should refrain from all the 'Fake Julius' thing in this novel. Honestly, I only read the manga yesterday and I was flabbergasted, they literally just pulled an AOT out of their ass. But still, Fake Julius thing is way too complicated and gives almost all of the power to the time devil. And we cant have that when our edgy wanna-be hero is here...]
