Burning Bell's right hand was freezing more and more. Clear ice gradually begins to erode Bell's body. Ace's ice had already reached around Bell's right elbow.

"I've run out of your bills. Die hard."

Things changed after hitting earlier, and now Ace was convinced of the win. The difference between the oversized forces is shrunk in an instant, and Ace is still trying to beat the bell.

"... what to do ⁉"

Bell's head was white at this time. Now that the fireworks, which boast absolute power, have been deactivated, there is no way to exchange them to Bell at the earliest opportunity. Judy is also sweating cold when she just looks at the bell stood up.

“There's no way to beat that man.”

That's when Arosha's voice reached Bell. Alosha, who had kept her mouth shut long after the battle with Ace had begun, finally opened it.

"What's the way to beat it?

“It's a way to put a strain on you.”

So what is it?

Belle was frustrated with Arrosha, who didn't quite teach Ace how to “beat it". Arosha knows how to beat the ice of the ace, which also freezes the flames. What the hell is that way to strain the bell...?

Erosion.

"Come on."

erosion. That was the first word Bell ever heard.

“Erosion is a physical trait that appears only in the human body contracted for possession. By your body, I mean the red right eye, the red part on the right side of your face, and the mark on your right palm. That red face is not a burn, it's a sign of erosion. If the devil deeply erodes the human body, it becomes a monster like Raven Gopher”

"What's wrong with that? How does that have anything to do with defeating him?

Bell's body bears a mark attesting to Arrosha's presence.

Gophers, on the other hand, whose body is almost completely eroded by Belzebub, have green skin all over their body. The further the erosion proceeds, the further away it will be from its original human form.

“Your erosion now is the first stage. Depending on the stage of erosion (Illusion), the magic variations that can be used, as well as the power, change. In the first stage of erosion, it's impossible to melt this man's ice."

"Aren't you going to burn everything down?

Arosha's fireworks burn everything down. Arosha's fireworks, which burn in hell, should melt Ace's ice easily too. But Bell can't melt it.

“What you're using now is not my original power. Erosion is like gear, so to speak. The more we move on to the first stage, the second stage, the closer we can use our power.”

In his current explanation of Arrosha, Bell understood that he could not beat Ace in his current state. If we don't move on to the next stage of erosion (Illusion), we have no chance of winning.

⁉ ︎

At that time, something suddenly crossed the front of the bell. Immediately thereafter, Bell's right hand is detached from the blade of cold air.

"I'll thank you! Thanks to you, I recovered. We're buying time, so let's move on with that illusion."

It was Judy who separated Bell's right hand from the blade of cold air. Judy is back on the front, completely warmed by Arrosha's fireworks. No more weak faces until just now.

"There's no way a black magician (Grigori) can beat me, is there?

"You shouldn't be complacent, either. Because common sense doesn't work for black magic (Grimoire)!

How much water black magic (Grimoire) you attack, it's all frozen by the ace. Judy's battle against Ace was the opposite of Bell's against Ace.

"Ha-ha-ha."

Not long after his breath, Judy continues to generate the water column. The water column, which continues to occur to hunt down enemies, becomes a torrent after being swept high and hits the ace. Judy couldn't rest any hands on the offense to avoid giving Ace a gap.

"It's no use. The word is water. All your attacks will turn into mine."

Judy's attack, however, did not make much sense. The torrents that occurred to fill the perimeter were instantly frozen. The powered ace was capable of instantly freezing substances.

Now that all the water currents had frozen, there stood a wall of complex, overlapping ice. In this situation, it becomes harder for Judy to get to Ace. Instead of buying time for Bell, Judy on the other hand ate the stoop.

The water that generated itself became ice, trapping Judy. Around Judy is a wall of ice as far as I can see. She can't even get around.

"That's pathetic. I didn't expect to be tormented by my attacks. The flame dissolves the ice, but the water is only frozen. No matter how you scratch, you will not win."

Ace didn't give Judy any importance. Unlike Bell's Flames, no matter how you use the Black Magic of Water (Grimoire), you cannot outperform the Black Magic of Ice (Grimoire). Ace, who succeeded in stopping Judy, slowly walked out to Bell.

"Wait."

"Loser howl"

Judy raised her voice and stopped Ace. It was an ace that Judy's presence was not already in her eyes, but she hears that voice burning in her fighting spirit and stops unexpectedly.

Judy smiled invincibly, confirming that her footsteps had stopped. And she gradually crossed her hands in front of her face. As it was, Judy began to move 10 fingers smoothly as per the suspicious sorcerer.

From Judy's finger, which manipulates the marionette but moves like it does, a thin filamentous substance had emerged, like a thread from all 10 fingers, and a water-colored thread swayed Yurayura around Judy.

"Water freely changes its appearance. It's not a lick."

Along with the decision dialogue, Judy opens her hands, which she was crossing in front of her face.

However, there were no significant changes in the surrounding scenery. Are you saying that Judy's secret didn't work for Ace either?

"Give me a bad scratch..."

Ace was bracketing his height. He also knew that Judy had done something in the ice wall, but without worrying about it, Ace starts walking again.

Dawn... Dawn...

Shortly afterwards, there is a fierce, dull sound around the area. When Ace looked back in haste, the walls of ice that were hanging high were beginning to collapse. The walls of ice that were filling my vision make one loud noise after another and collapse away.

"Chronic heart brings ruin, doesn't it? How do you feel when your words come back just like that? Yes, Boomerang"

"... what did you do?

Judy showed up from a collapsed ice wall. Judy, who collapsed the wall that surrounded her, has a confident look on her face. Knights female knights approach the ace in a dignified manner.

"Water freely changes its appearance. When we were trapped, we refined the water filamentously. A quick bump into the water that worked out its magic at high density would make it a sharper weapon than a blade. Your ice castle is a straw house for us."

The walls of ice that had trapped Judy collapsed, by an invisibly thin thread of water. The ice walls contained invisible cuts by water threads. As Judy said, the water was a magic that was variable, free and omnipotent.

When Judy was holding back Ace, Bell was talking to Arrosha about erosion (Illusion).

"Take that erosion to the second stage."

“Are you sure?"

Belle tried to move on to the next stage, but Arrosha was cautious.

"Good or nothing, you have to make it a second stage, you can't win, can you?

Bell was frustrated with Arrosha, who didn't want to proceed quickly with erosion. Bell doesn't know the impact of progressing with erosion, but nothing starts without progressing.

“As I said earlier, if we proceed with erosion, we will surely strain your body. The original possessory contractor is taken over by the devil completely immediately after the contract. Therefore, it is also free to add or subtract erosion (Illusion). But you're not. The devil moves the human body, not the man himself."

“The time limit is 10 minutes. If you spend more time in the Erosion (Illusion) Phase 2 state, you will not be able to return to Phase 1. And when you return erosion (Illusion) from phase 2 to phase 1, your body will be overloaded with more than you can imagine. With that in mind, we can only move on to the next stage of erosion."

Erosion is literally what “erodes” the human body in order to make it easier for the devil to use it. The more erosion (Illusion) progresses, the more the devil and the human body will be able to synchronize and use the forces that are close to them.

At that price, if you proceed with erosion (Illusion), you will not be able to return to your original appearance again unless you release it before you receive a time limit.

"Can you hurry up with the Bell Erosion?

"Do it because it's good. If it's stage two, I'll just knock the ice bastard out and get you back to normal!

Judy, who was still responding to the ace at this time, wanted Bell to power up quickly. Bell also considered the risk of progressing with erosion, but no other means were left to win the battle.

“It would be good. Don't complain later."

"If you defeat him, undo him properly."

“Hun..."

Finally, the erosion is transferred from the first stage to the second stage. This could have been Arrosha's ingenious ploy, but Bell accepted the devil's suggestion.

"What?"

As soon as Bell embraces the progression of erosion, the view of the dark night is illuminated red. Ace, who was focused on fighting Judy, was accidentally blinded by that red light. Judy, who was fighting to stop Ace, is also trying to see a change in Bell.

Wrapped in swirling fires, Bell eventually appears out of it. His forehead was blown up by the wind caused by the swirling flames, revealing the appearance of a bell that had progressed through erosion (irony).

Bell's face, which had so far been dyed red only on the right half of his face, had changed dramatically. Now the bell is dyed red on the top half of her face. The red “mark”, which spread to cover both eyes, emphasized the sharpness of the reborn boy's eyes. The eyes, which were odd-eyed, were also now dyed red, along with two.

Then, Bell's ears were pointy as demons. Not only that, but there had been changes besides the face. Bell's fingernails on both hands are sharp and pointy, giving him a ferocious impression.

The ice that covered Bell's right hand was also instantly melted by the increased power of the flames. Even the droplets, born of melting ice, were burned down by the hellfire of Arrosha. By advancing the Erosion (Illusion) to the second stage, Arosha's fireworks, which can be used by Bell, were extraordinarily powerful.

"Come on, this is the real deal."

Having felt the magic of being regarded all over his body, Bell declares war against Ace. The despair I had just felt was nowhere else. This time, Belle does have the confidence to beat Ace.

"You can't do this. You can win this!

Judy was also sure of the victory when she saw the obviously powered bell. Arosha's fireworks will not be frozen by Ace anymore. After that, we only beat the ace with overwhelming force.

Don't get on with it.

It was supposed to be an ace in distress, but he was never frightened. On the contrary, his face also looked delighted when he saw the bell empowered by the time he finally had a decent fight.

Cueen, come on.

Ace's armor grew brighter than ever before, as if to meet Bell's power-ups. Are you saying that you can still empower Ice Black Magic (Grimoire)?

"Don't scratch me. You can't beat me now."

Bell has clear eyes, staring at Ace, but he didn't have much time left. If he doesn't defeat Ace within 10 minutes, Bell can't go back to what he has been. Already at this point, a minute had passed.

"Your graveyard is here. Die."

Ace opened her eyes full of madness and spread her hands.

The ambient temperature then drops more than ever before, and even moisture in the air gradually begins to freeze, not only on the ground. Ace was trying to stop the attack with a cold air blade and unleash new sorcery.

Don't be alarmed, kid.

"I know! Judy, stay behind me."

"Ugh, yeah."

Not only Belle, but even Arrosha, were wary of an ace of unusual magic. Bell, who guided Judy, hides her behind her back. Judy also has the strength to fight ACE, but not necessarily that she can retreat from the sorcery that ACE is about to unleash.

"That's it."

Finally, Ace's Righteousness is activated. Round parts incorporated into the armor emitted light simultaneously, depriving the Bells of their sight.

And out of nowhere, a freezing snowstorm blows on the bells. Ace's magic, which rose to its fullest, was creating massive amounts of fine ice from moisture in the air.

The tiny ice cubes that have broken out to cover the area are forming a herd and hitting the bells. This was the hand of Ace de Spade, who freezes everything.

"It's not over yet."

Bell feared Ace, who unleashed all his powers and unleashed unsatisfactory black magic (Grimoire). A black magic of ice (Grimoire) so powerful that even when it was powered up, Bell hit “Storm Calling for Death" with all the red fires he had put together.

Frozen madness and burning fighting spirit clash. Bright white snowstorms and bright red fires collide, and beautiful contrasts of red and white illuminate the darkness of the night.

Terribly beautiful, mighty black magic (Grimoire) clash. Judy had witnessed a high-dimensional Black Magic (Grimoire) battle from behind Bell.

Everyone there felt burning heat and freezing cold air on their skin. Even if Bell's magic moves through Erosion (Illusion) to Stage 2, it is not easy to defeat Ace's Black Magic (Grimoire). Ace's incredible power-ups should always have had something to do with the armor he was wearing. Unlike Bell, he appears to be artificially amplifying his magic powers.

It's not his black magic.

"I know that, too. You just have to push it down with the power!

Even Arrosha, the devil, admired Ace's black magic (Grimore). Hot and cold air are completely antagonistic and do not give way to each other. If the power of the Black Magic of Fire (Grimoire) and the Black Magic of Ice (Grimoire) are equal, one of them loses.

Around that time, sparks were beginning to scatter from Ace's armor. Fire powder is scattered violently from glowing parts scattered all over his body. Ace's expression, which kept the snowstorm blowing, gradually went distorted.

We don't have time for this. Put Keri on in a minute.

"You don't have to tell me, I'm going to! Fucking devil."

There is an inexhaustible amount of magic in Bell, which houses Arrosha, but I didn't have time to wait long for Ace's magic to expire. The time left for Bell is about a minute. If we don't settle within a minute, Bell will be as he is for good.

Bell, staring at Ace in the shape of a ghost, concentrated his entire nerve on the black magic of fireworks (Grimoire). The fireworks unleashed by Bell also increase in intensity, so as to be proportional to the burning fighting spirit. The flames, which have increased further to meet the boy's feelings, eventually swallow the white snowstorm and go.

"It ends with you."

And finally, Bell's fireworks completely swallowed up Ace's snowstorm. Bell had no reason to know, but Ace's magic was gradually dwindling, as if inversely proportional to Bell's magic increase.

Ace was increasing his magic beyond the limits of armor. Over time, Ace's armor screamed and gradually lost its magic.

"Guuuuuuuuu"

Ace, beaten by Bell, was engulfed in a hugely swollen fireworks.

“10 seconds left. That was dangerous."

Arrosha opens her mouth when she settles for a battle of flames and ice.

And in an instant, Bell went back to where he was. Erosion (Illusion) was pulled back from Phase 2 to Phase 1. Erosion (Illusion) was not an Arrosha trap, it was really a means for Bell to use his powers.

Erosion (Illusion) returned to the first stage, and the fireworks that wrapped Ace's body were extinguished.

"I've reviewed it."

"You're not gnawing at me. Mostly because you got caught, this is what happened..."

Dossa!!

Judy smiled and applauded at Bell for showing off his awesome magic.

The opposing bell suddenly fell to the spot, loathing Judy, who sprinkled the seeds of trouble.
