BLACK MOON - Black Magic War Beginning with Jailbreak - [Full story illustration available]

Episode 12: The Cards Faced Up On The Table/Turned Cards

Inside the great tent, where the fierce battle was over, it was surrounded by silence. Belle and Lili watched with a smile as they hugged each other in tears. The Summerbell brothers and sisters were finally released from the suffering that lasted two years.

"... Damian, what the hell was that you were using earlier?

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey."

After watching the battle for a long time, Bell has always wondered about the magic potion. However, that was not worthy of the words I would hang on my brothers and sisters who were finally freed from their long suffering. Lili is swelling her cheeks at Bell's statement that she can't read the air.

"... is this it? This is Buster Potion. Moon and Night Grass (Tsukuyoso), Sunset Leaves (Yuhinoha), Bander Snatch Fangs… and other rare ingredients to combine to make this medicine for the devil."

"That's amazing, that. I don't know..."

When he heard Damien explain, Bell kept his mouth wide open. The Buster Potion is a combination of rare magical ingredients from around the world. It also comes with origami that just proved its effect.

Kid, aren't you trying to kick me out with something like that?

Alosha was worried about herself when she saw Buster Potion. Is it possible to get Arosha out of Bell's body using the Buster Potion?

"You know, can I get a little of that?

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

That's what Bell asked Damien on purpose, roughly in response to Arrosha's concern.

"Unfortunately, the magic potion (Buster Potion) is a very rare medicine, and all the ingredients are not available inside even if you fly around the world. It's also quite difficult to create small quantities. I've used what I have, so I don't have any more."

"Right..."

Listening to Damien's explanation, Bell looked sincerely sorry. Medicine powerful enough to get rid of demons possessed by humans. It therefore took more effort and luck than imagined to make it.

"Belle... not if we're talking like that right now."

"I was curious, so you couldn't help it, could you?

"We need to evacuate the two of you to safety before that happens. Maybe the circus people are still after us, right?

"Sure..."

The battle with Clover, and with Joker, is over, but there are still a lot of members in the Trump Circus. As soon as possible, we need to evacuate the Summerbell brothers and sisters who have become truly helpless to safety.

"Yes, Mr. Bell, look for Mr. Judy! I'll evacuate Abby and Damien."

"Are you all right?

"It's okay. I can't use magic, but even I've come through a lot of pinches!

"... ok. It's not impossible."

"I know. Don't push even Bell, right? When you rendezvous with Mr. Judy, let's get the hell out of here!

As she continued her escape journey, Lili was more certain to succeed than before. It's not Belle here, Lili's taking command. Lili and Bell. Neither, I don't know what kind of threat awaits me.

"Come on Abby, Damian. Let's go."

Lili looked at the two faces and said so, taking on Abby's shoulders and letting her sit in a wheelchair.

And the three of them rush after the big tent. Bell also left the big tent to follow, looking for Judy.

After the big tent, Bell was looking for Judy's whereabouts as he hid himself in a tent lined up on the property. At least, Judy had been replaced with Clover when Bell reached the big tent. Even Bell, who has been with us all this time, has no idea when there was a gap between her and Clover being replaced.

"Where the hell did that dough go..."

Bell was moving his gaze everywhere in the circus, whispering a novel.

At this time Bell was in the place where he met the fake Robin. From behind the blue tent, Bell is searching for Judy's appearance.

When he was transforming into Robin, Clover couldn't use his ability to beast (chimera). In other words, Clover says that even if he can transform, he doesn't even get the ability for the transformed to use it.

And it proved that Judy was real when she ran into the fake Robin.

…………

Bell moves along the side of the tent and attempts to search the premises without a neighborhood. To say Judy abandons her mission and leaves Trump Circus is unlikely first. Maybe she had quite a thought and deliberately left Bell's place.

"What?"

As he turned the corner of the tent, Bell discovered what lay ahead. Bell discovers something and rushes there in a hurry. Don't even worry about the eyes around you.

What was ahead of Bell's rush was a large ice cube that he said would be two metres square. The ice cubes were very disproportionate to the circus. The ice cubes were not shaped like sculptures, but remained boneless.

"Judy ⁉ə"

Bell discovers Judy in that ice cube. She didn't leave Bell because of some idea, she was captured by someone. Judy, completely trapped in the ice, can't blink one.

"You looked so great, you got caught lightly."

Bell stared slightly at Judy trapped in the ice cubes for a while. Coming all the way down from Judy, Bell was immersed in a sense of superiority for just a little while.

"... well, I'll help you"

The bell, often steeped in superiority, slowly turns the mark of his right palm towards the ice. If it's Arosha's fire that burns everything down, even the big ice cubes should be able to melt in no time.

Boo-wow...

When Bell let out a small fire from the mark of flame, it instantly spread across the ice mass. The red-dyed ice cubes get smaller as you look at them, melt the frozen Judy and go. The ice melted from the top, and eventually even the ice that was cementing Judy's feet disappeared and disappeared.

"Cold."

Shortly after being freed from the ice cubes, Judy's first voice. That was originally the word she wanted to say the most in the ice. I don't know how long she was icy, but her body should be cold from the core.

"There you go."

To Judy, who was finally liberated, Bell held his right palm close. In the right hand looking up to heaven is a small Fire shaking. Bell's Black Magic of Fire (Grimoire) can also play an impromptu heating role.

Noticed it, Judy quickly brings her hands closer to the flame. Her body was trembling incessantly like that. Seeing weak Judy, Bell had complex emotions.

"Oh, aren't you Faust the Black Sartain?"

At that time, some voice reaches Bell's ear. The battle at the Trump Circus is not over yet. What kind of enemy is it that has emerged anew?

"You..."

"I'm Ace de Spade. Apparently you're not going to be one of us."

Bell looked familiar to the new enemy that appeared in front of him. Ace de Spade is the man who was performing black magic (Grimoire) at the big tent show.

"You're not gonna be one of us, are you?

"Good. Then I'll kill you."

Ace, who confirms Bell's will, strips him of his intent to kill. His eyes were accentuated with black paint, creating a creep.

"Kill? You can't beat me with ice black magic (Grimore)! Instead of killing him, it's your turn to surrender."

Bell was bracketing his height. Ice Black Mage (Grigori) is no match for Fire Black Mage (Grigori). That was for everyone to know. However, Ace, dressed in heavy armor with glowing parts, has a unique atmosphere.

"It's not just ice black magic (Grimore) that I use. Don't insult me."

"Ahhh... if you say so, you also used some lightning"

There is not only one type of Ace black magic (Grimoire). Bell remembers that, but he didn't show fright.

"It would be good. I'll electrocute him first, then I'll ice him."

With that said, Ace raised his right palm to heaven. Are you going to say I'm going to drop lightning, just like I did at the big tent show coming up?

……………

But after waiting a while, nothing has ever happened. Seeing Ace waiting silently, Bell also couldn't help but wait for something to happen.

"Have you done anything to the captain?

And Ace breaks the silence that lasted for a while. Apparently, for some reason, he can no longer use the Black Magic of Thunder (Grimoire).

"Nothing. I didn't do anything. Wasn't it an illusion that you were able to use two naturals?

Bell knew what caused Ace's inability to use multiple black magic tricks (Grimours). Clover used the help of a joker to gain multiple black magic tricks (Grimore).

The presence of a Joker is essential to acquire multiple black magic (Grimoire). Now that Joker is dead, the contract for Black Magic (Grimoire) won by the Circus team members has probably been written off.

"Fair enough. I don't need two types of black magic (Grimoire) to defeat you. One thing is enough."

"That's a lot to spare."

Ice is dissolved in flames. All Ace de Spade attacks should be nullified by Belle, but he's showing some room. Of course, the only thing I'm going to win, Belle, is plenty of room.

"Chronic hearts are doomed."

When Ace removed the black bar-shaped object he lowered to his hips, he held it as if he were putting up a sword.

Then instantly the tip of the black stick glowed white, and its white light pictured the blade. Beyond the white blade, the view is clear. From his abilities, I guess that's a blade made of cold air.

"At least you can't ruin it!

Bell also lights a flame on his right hand, as if to respond to the ace. Ace keeps the cold air in constant form and uses it as a weapon, but Bell hasn't been able to do that yet. At this point I can feel the difference between Ace and Bell's experience, but Bell himself didn't realize it at all.

"Frozen."

Ace doesn't let her hair in between and shakes a blade of cold air on the bell. The opposing bell protruded his right hand reflexively flaming together.

Juuuuuu......

Then the blade of cold air happened to evaporate. As Bell thought, Ace's cold air didn't rival Arrosha's fire. It was an ace that appeared full, but this battle is going to be settled easily.

"Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. Your black magic

………………

"Are you sorry and speechless?

Whether Bell's words were a star, Ace became silent. Ace's silence gives Bell even more confidence.

"An idiot. Take a good look at your feet."

⁉ ︎

But Ace didn't shy away knowing his defeat. Instead, he mocked the inexperienced bell in his heart.

When Bell dropped his gaze, he somehow noticed that his feet were cemented by ice. While Bell was distracted by the cold sword, Ace froze Bell's foot.

♪ Chronic heart brings ruin ♪

Ace's words were never haphazard or anything like that. Even if black magic (Grimoire) is inferior, combat experience fills the difference. Unlike Bell, Ace knows the ultimate in battle.

"Expand your sight and lose as many blind spots as you can. It's the basics of battle."

While Ace was an enemy, he was giving Bell tactical advice. That would also be because Bell got hooked on too simple a trap.

"You don't have to preach greatly."

Bell melted the ice at his feet, barking at the ace. Bell's feet were completely frozen, but with Arrosha's fireworks, it could be easily melted.

"I don't eat the same hands anymore."

Having regained his leg freedom, Bell tries to fight back against Ace with a flame that immediately lit his right palm. Bell doesn't have enough experience in action yet, but he's definitely growing every time he fights. If you are a bell who takes off the crisis with a method of warfare that doesn't always have a thump, you have a great chance of winning this fight.

⁉ ︎

But shortly after that, Ace walked past Bell sideways. Bell, who didn't understand what was happening, looks back a little late.

Then there was Judy, who sat up. Bell is not the only target of Ace's attack. Weak Judy can be a weakness for Bell. Judy, who is being targeted, is not in a position to fight at all.

"That's simple."

By the time Bell realized, Ace had already tried to shake the blade of cold air to Judy. Combat pros don't use the same hands twice. Even if Bell learns one thing, Ace comes through a gap with another method of warfare.

"Ku... in time"

If it was Bell, he would have stopped thinking, but he was certainly growing too. As soon as the blade of cold air swung down, Bell flied flames aggressively toward it. That was a bet of one or eight.

"Sounds like we're gonna do a little bit."

Fortunately, Ace's relentless attacks never hit Judy. He succeeded in knocking out the cold blade before hitting Judy's body.

"Aren't you ashamed to use your cowardly hands?

"I don't want the guy trying to steal the Black Magic Book (Grimoire) from us. Besides, you were originally the nominee. You don't have to ask about the means."

"That's... you guys framed us in the first place, but..."

Ace de Spade was a cold executioner. Belle and Judy are rats drawn to the trap. From the beginning, Trump Circus had set a trap to keep Bell among us. Bell, who turned it down, was destined to clash with the black magicians (grigories) of the circus.

"It's bad to get hooked on a trap. The Knights of the Black Sorcerer (Grigori) under the sky are so stupid."

"Wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh."

"You don't feel like losing."

"Say it, scumbag."

Bell rides Ace's provocation and wraps his whole body in bright red fireworks. At that time, Bell wrapped himself in flames from Judy's body to body, creating the perfect barrier. This way, you can deal with ice black magic (Grimoire) flying in any direction.

"I'll give you back what you just said. I don't feel like losing you."

Belle, wrapped up in invincible flaming armor, provoked Ace. Even before, the blade of cold air had evaporated when it touched the flame. If he can only use the same black magic (Grimoire), Bell's victory is assured.

"Don't be ridiculous."

Without cowering at the flaming bell, Ace sets off a fierce attack with a blade of cold air. He constantly swings down the blade of cold air and continues to attack Bell without resting. Judy, protected by Bell, was observing the situation from behind.

"Don't you see it's no use?

Bell was stunned by Ace repeating the same thing. It is clear from anyone's eyes that Ace has no chance of winning. Where we've gone on, Ace won't beat Bell first.

"Sweetly overestimated. You thought I was serious?

But Ace, who should have no chance of winning, was showing room over this period. Now that Joker is dead, Ace should only be able to use one type of black magic (Grimoire). Whatever the hidden sphere, ice magic shouldn't beat Bell.

……

Cueen, come on.

As Bell was asking him how to get out, Ace spun the buckle on his belt.

Then, the high mechanical sound echoed around him, and the blue and white parts found everywhere in Ace's armor added even more radiance. The mechanism of the belt may be like some kind of limiter.

"This armor leaps my black magic (Grimoire). Attributes don't matter. Let me show you the heart of the cold air."

With that said, Ace put up the blade of cold air again. At that time, even the flame-wrapped bell felt the ambient temperature drop. As Ace put it, the armored mechanism does empower Ice Black Magic (Grimoire).

Even though the blade of cold air was not directly touching them, there was frost on the ground around them. Without touching it, the surroundings are slowly starting to freeze.

"No matter how strong you get, ice is ice. Whatever you attack, I'll melt it all down."

"Horrible."

As Bell was making room, Ace just restarted the attack. As never before, he swings the blade of cold air down against the bell. Even with increased power, the attack method is one pattern.

Bell grabs the blade of swinging cold air with the right hand of the flame. The cold air that touched Arrosha's fire should evaporate just like before.

⁉ ︎

But the next moment, Bell will lose his word. Instead of the cold air evaporating, the right hand of the flame-wrapped bell began to freeze. A phenomenon that transcended nature's management was happening precisely now. This is the essence of black magic (Grimoire). Common sense doesn't work in magic.

"This is my black magic."

Bell's right hand, which grabbed the white blade, goes frozen as he looks at it. If you don't let go of this hand, any of them will make Bell ice marinated all over his body like Judy did then. Bell desperately tries to let go of his right hand, but no matter how hard he works, his frozen right hand doesn't even freak out.

"Fuck you."

♪ Chronic heart brings ruin ♪

Exactly, it's starting to unfold just like Ace said. There's no way a flame can beat ice. Bell, who was so chronic, got stuck in a predicament. If Arrosha's fireworks don't work, Bell won't win.
