Reborn in black clover with Demon Slaying magic

Chapter 30: Status and Power



"INSOLENT PEASANT! HOW DARE YOU TALK TO YOUR BETTERS LIKE THAT!"

Hearing Grim insult them, the member of the Golden Dawn that started this mess opened up his grimoire.

[Sand Binding Magic: Sandbox]

"Grim!" Mimosa yelled in panic while Asta readied his sword.

"For all the hype you've been giving yourself, I've gotta say that I'm quite disappointed."

Ignoring the sand gathering around him, Grim looked squarely at the nobles and took a step forward.

*BANG!!*

Switching to Breath of the beast, Grim took advantage of the fact that his physical stats were boosted to flash in front of the sand mage.

"What!!" Escaping the sand cage before it had finished forming itself, everyone in the room looked in shock as Grim suddenly appeared in front of one of their comrades.

"Heh."

Not wanting to waste the use of his sword on these self loving retards, Grim's right hand formed itself into the shape of a fist as he swung it and landed a powerful right hook on the face of the sand mage.

*BANG!!*

"URRGGHHHH!!"

Since mages didn't train their bodies and couldn't endure much physical attacks, the sand mage was blown off his feet and was sent hurlting across the room until he crashed into one of the buffet tables.

*Silence*

"Now then..." Grim stood up and released an intense aura. "Whose next?"

"Hahahaha, looks like the Golden Dawn mages aren't as good as they present themselves to be." Solid laughed as his grimoire flipped open. "Now let me show you how a real mage takes out the trash."

[Water Binding Magic: Sea Serpent Twine]

Taking the shape of a snake, a long water thread struck out towards Grim.

While this would be a good time to get hit by some water magic so he could get water breathing, the smug look on Solid's face caused him to throw that notion away.

Charging towards the serpent, Grim easily evaded the attack before digging his feet deep into the ground and shooting towards the Silva siblings.

"So the little rat knows how to jump." Solid laughed before changing spells.

[Water Creation Magic: Holy Water Assassination Bullet]

Gathering a large stream of water together, Solid shaped the water into the appearance of a large bullet before firing it at the approaching Grim.

*SWOOSH!!*

Jumping to the left, Grim easily evaded the attack much to Solid's annoyance.

"Maybe you'll do better with a couple more toys."

[Water Creation Magic: Holy Water Assassination Bullet]

[Water Creation Magic: Holy Water Assassination Bullet]

[Water Creation Magic: Holy Water Assassination Bullet]

Firing off consecutive water bullets, Solid laughed loudly as he thought that Grim would be squashed into nothing. Unfortunately he overestimated his own abilities. While the attacks were certainly fast, they were nothing compared to Luck's lightning fast attacks.

*BANG!!*

*BANG!!*

*BANG!!*

Watching the water bullets miss their mark and hit the surrounding area, the crowd was truly dumbfounded. Even Nozel and Fuegoleon who were taking a back seat to everything that was happening couldn't help but take a closer look at Grim.

"Hey Noelle." Asta suddenly called out. "Why doesn't Grim use his swords? If he used his beast or fire swords wouldn't this match have ended by now?"

Remembering how Grim had dealt with that Diamond Mage from the dungeon, Klaus and everyone else turned to look at Noelle.

"I think... He's trying to humiliate them."

Seeing her brother's failure to hit him, Nebra's grimoire flickered open.

[Mist Binding Magic: Mist Spider Binding Thread]

Launching a web shaped thread composed of mist at Grim, Nebra expected to trap him and watch as her brother's attack finally landed. But to her surprise Grim jumped into the air and cruised over the top of the mist like it was nothing before landing back on the ground and combat rolling before continuing on with his assault.

'What the hell is wrong with this peasant?!'

[A/n: So many things.]

Dodging the numerous number of attacks without the use of his swords, Grim finally reached Solid and drove a breath of the beast enhanced fist deep into his gut.

*BANG!!*

"URRGGGHHKKK!!" Feeling the wind get knocked out of him, Solid was forced to take a knee. Seeing this as the perfect opportunity to bully someone weaker than him, Grim held the sides of Solid's head before pulling it forward and driving his knee into his face.

*CRACK!!*

"AARGGHHH!!!" Solid screamed as he felt the bones in his nose flatten and break.

Throwing his head back, Grim threw the idiot flat onto his back before lifting his leg up and ruthlessly stomped down on his testicles.

*Inhumane screeching*

"Hehehahahahahahahahaha!! HOLY SHIT THIS GUY'S WEAK!!" Grim laughed uncontrollably much to the horror of the other nobles.

Realizing that this guy probably couldn't even compare to Noelle's raw power despite her only recently being able to control her magic, Grim lifted his leg and kicked the screaming Solid to the side before turning to look at the eldest daughter of the Silva family.

"I guess you're next." He grinned.

Seeing Grim switch his attention to her, Nebra panicked and started casting a new spell.

[Mist Creation Magic: Mis-

*SLAP!!*

*GASPS*

Dropping to the ground, Nebra felt her mouth and left eye fill with blood as the left side of her face burned with a searing pain. If she could see herself now, she would be aghast a the bright red hand print on her cheek. Raising her hand slightly, Nebra's fingers trembled as she touched her face and felt a tooth drop.

"Y-You slapped me..."

"Yeah." He nodded before kneeling in front of her. "Now get ready for my back hand."

"Wha-

*SLAP!!*

Slapping her once again but this time using the back on his hand, Nebra lost a couple more teeth and her right eye also filled with blood.

'Now for the finisher.'

*BANG!!*

Grabbing the top of her ugly hair, he repeatedly slammed her face down into the ground breaking her nose and causing her face to become bloody.

'Hmm... Maybe I should do it again just for good luck.'

*BANG!!*

*BANG!!*

*BANG!!*

*BANG!!*

Horrified by the sight of Nebra's face and Grim's ruthless actions, the other nobles stood in silence not wanting to draw that monster's attention.

'This is pretty fun... I wonder if this is what I felt in my past incarnations?'

Distracted by his own thoughts, it was only after sensing the killing intent and massive release of mana that he stopped slamming Nebra's face into the ground.

"Oh?" He raised his head.

Feeling a large release of mana, a dominating pressure covered the room as everyone's eyes were drawn to the figure of silent figure of Nozel Silva who directing a large amount of malice in Grim's direction .

'This pressure... Its as strong as Yami's.'

"To dare to put your hands on members of the royal family." Nozel spoke in calm voice that hid a silent rage. "I didn't think commoners dared to act this brave."

"Well you're not dealing with the average commoner anymore. Besides, I only put my hands on a couple of bitches. The fact that they happened to be part of the royal family didn't even cross my mind." Grim shrugged.

[A/n: Preach!]

"In fact." He turned to look at all the nobles. "All you cum guzzling bitches with royal blood in your veins can come at me. I'll take each and every one of you fuckers on. Hell! I'll even give you an advantage and close my eyes. At least then it'll even the odds a bit. Now c'mon you inbred cousin fucking degenerates! Its time to learn the difference between status and power!!"

Releasing some of his magic power, several nobles were forced to take a step back as Grim started giving off a wild and unrestrained aura that had a primal feel to it.

Enraged by Grim's words and actions, the pressure Nozel was emitting increased by tenfold as he started taking heavier steps towards Grim.

"To raise your hand against royalty is an act of treason, for your crimes against the crown, I punish you with death." Nozel said in a dark tone.

"Hehhahahahahahahaha!!" Grim chuckled before bursting out in laughter. "You punish me?! Y'know, when I woke up this morning I wouldn't have thought this was how my day would go. But okay Mr braided bangs, lets see how much limits I can break today!!"

*BOOM!!*

Releasing even more of his own magic power that easily surpassed that of a captain's, the smile on his face become scary as the beast swords manifested themselves into his hands. While he wasn't confident in beating someone at the level of a captain, after meeting the wizard king every cell in Grim's body had been stimulated to the point that he no longer cared about the consequences.

"So much mana..."

"How can that peasant have more mana than me!"

"Dammit! Kill that peasant trash!!"

Feeling Grim's magic power, Nozel's gaze darkened as the whimpers of his brother and sister entered his ears.

"Grim..."

Listening to members of the audience, Asta and his crew were at a loss for what to do. Being commoners themselves, both Asta and Yuno were about to step in incase things started to look bad for Grim, but the sudden emergence of a particular voice stopped them in their tracks.

"Is this how house Silva deals with their problems?"

"Huh?" Everyone looked over at the direction the voice originated from.

"C-Captain Fuegoleon!!"

'Fuegoleon?' Thinking back to the time of the magic knight's exam, Grim could vaguely remember wanting to join his squad before Yami forced him into joining the black bulls. Funny enough, the first time he embarassed a noble was in the presence of Fuegoleon, what are the odds that he'd be here to witness him doing it a second time?

[A/n: 100%]

"As a captain, ganging up on a new recruited with your brother and sister, do you not feel any shame Nozel?"

"Sir Fuegoleon..." Mimosa sighed in relief when she saw him arrive on the scene.

"Are you trying to educate me Fuegoleon?" Nozel frowned and turned to face him still radiating an air of animosity.

"No, just reminding you of something that you should already be aware of."

"He injured my family."

"After they teamed up to attack him. While his actions were definitley extreme, it was a two on one situation he was facing."

"Ahahahahahaha." Leopold suddeny laughed aloud causing the tension in the room to drop considerably as he went over to Grim's side. "Damn! Big bro wasn't kidding when he said you were strong. Now rejoice! For I Leopold Vermillion accept you as my rival!!"

"...EHH!!!" Everyone from Grim's group suddenly said in union.

'Rival? I don't need one of those.'

Confused by the situation, Grim's previous desire to fight was starting to dampen as he couldn't keep up with the events happening around him.

"Pass."

"Huh?" Leopold made a surprised face.

"The only rival I need is myself."

"Yourself?"

"Yeah, the only person I want to surpass is myself. So to that end I will continuously surpass every version of myself that grows in power."

"Woah... That's the exact attitude that my rival should have!!"

---

"Hahahaha, men are such fools aren't they sis?" Sol of the Blue roses laughed while eating some meat.

*Sigh* "Mind your manners Sol." Charlotte chastised lightly."

"My bad sis." She chuckled.

"Call me captain Sol."

"Ahaha, my bad sis."

*Sigh*

---

"First you interupt me from seeking justice for the crown and my family members, and now a member of your acknowledges the peasant that caused outrage as his rival. Has house Vermillion fallen so far?" Nozel's icy voice cut through the air.

"Oh fuck you, you silver haired cunt!!" Grim yelled from the background. "Step up to me again and I'll rip your bang off, choke you with it and parade your body around the capital during the next festival!"

[A/n: For some reason I pictured Grim choking him like Agent 47.]

Barely holding it together, Nozel shot him a very menacing glare that could probably cut diamonds.

Ignoring the comment, Fuegoloen's eyes were completely focused on Nozel.

"Lord Julius allowed the boy and his friends to be here. He may be a peasant but as someone recognized by the wizard king you should be more respectful and show the grace of a member of the royal family."

"Respectful? To think I'd hear such nonsense from you of all people." Nozel scoffed. "It seems like the people of house Vermillion have become soft."

"What?!" Fuegoleon frowned.

"How do you expect me to respect that worm after what he did to members of my family!"

Just as Grim was about to throw out another comment, he and everyone else felt the entire building start to shake as cracks started to run up the walls.

"What that hell?"

Taking a step back, everyone watched as both Fuegoleon's and Nozel's mana took on the physical shape of a orange lion and silver eagle.

'Okay, not gonna lie, this is pretty cool to watch.'

*BANG!!*

Bursting through the front door, a hooded mage of the clover kingdom came stumbling in while breathing heavy.

"Attack! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!!"

'God dammit! Just when things were getting interesting.'
