While the two black bulls were bickering and falling toward the ground covered with tentacle-like stuff.
Lumiere snapped out of his stupor and immediately went to rescue the falling black bulls.
His body was covered in light magic and an instant later, he appeared beside Sekke and Yami.
Both of them looked at the first wizard king and held his shoulder without hesitation since both of them were expecting him to be there anyway.
"You are fast for being half rock." complimented Sekke.
"You will be an excellent ride. Want to join my squad?" said Yami as he took a puff from his cigarette.
Lumiere didn't know how to respond to the two of them and simply got them back to the others.
"Captain Yami!! Sekke!! That was awesome!!" said Asta with stars in his eyes.
"Meh, nothing special," said Sekke.
"Of course it was, now you do it," said Yami, and then gestured Asta to deal with the devil.
"No no no no! That's impossible for me. I don't have any magic." replied Asta.
"Eh? Ah, right you were the mana-less runt. Do something with your anti-magic then."
"Asta! Surpass your limit. Plus Ultra!" said Sekke as he patted Asta's back.
"Ow ow ow!" winced Asta in pain when Sekke smacked his back.
"Hm? You injured?" asked Sekke.
"Ah? I got slightly injured while trying to save that copy magic elf dude," said Asta as he showed off his back which was slightly charred.
"Can't have you injured during such a fight," muttered Sekke as his grimore started flipping.
Sekke looked at the bodyless devil's head and then pointed his hand at Asta.
[Body Debuff Magic: Damage Transfer]
"Oh! I am back to full health!!" yelled Asta in delight as he started swinging his demon slayer sword with full force.
"I have timed it for one hour so make sure to be asleep by then otherwise you will feel 60 times the pain that you were already feeling," explained Sekke.
"Eh? That's too much! Do you want me to die!?!?"
"Don't know but keep in mind Asta....if you die, someone else that you don't even know might marry that sister Lily of yours," said Sekke in a serious tone.
Asta's face immediately turned serious after hearing those words and he stared directly at the devil.
"Sekke! Captain Yami! Yuno!!! Let's kill that devil bastard as soon as possible!!!" declared Asta.
"Huh?! Who the hell do you think you are to order me around?!" said Yami as he kicked Asta.
Seeing that Sekke started laughing making Yami look at him and remembering that they had been fighting earlier about the [Magic Smash] and started arguing once again.
Seeing the carefree attitude of the three black bull swordsmen Noelle facepalmed wanting to just dig a hole and bury herself out of embarrassment.
Secre on the other hand sales towards Sekke and simply pulled his cheek making him stop his argument with Yami.
"Secre? What do you want? I am busy with something at the moment."
"Devil, healing back, focus on that," replied Secre and pointed at the devil.
"Huh? That asshole?.... Frankly speaking, I am losing my interest in him...although, I would advise you all to please step away from the tentacles. They are dangerous." warned Sekke as he simply picked Secre off the ground and formed a giant piece of bronze to stand upon and flew up.
Following his actions, Asta, Yuno, Noelle, Licht, Pattoli, Lumiere, Fana, and Anna took flight as well.
Once all of them were up in the air, they looked down on the two remaining people.
Yami and Elf Charlotte looked back at their allies as Yami simply jumped away from the tentacles while pulling Elf Charlotte with him.
"My my, looks like Yami-san doesn't have a flying spell. Want my help?" asked Sekke in a sarcastic tone.
"Huh? Who needs your help? Just you wait I will surpa-"
[Crack Open]
All of a sudden the ground below Yami's feet exploded making both Yami and Elf Charlotte fall.

"There, one annoyance is gone. Now for the rest of you." said the devil as he was done regenerating his body.
"Not gonna lie dude, that was a cheap trick," said Sekke.
"Not gonna lie, that felt great." replied the devil.
"Not gonna lie, your mom told me the same last night," replied Sekke.
"...Enough of this I will kill you all now." said the devil in anger and for the first time since the beginning the devil opened the grimoire that he stole from Pattoli.
"...He wasn't serious from the start?" asked Sekke in a slightly cold tone.
Mana started surging around him making the others look at him with a curious look on their face.
Not as soon as the black bulls' gazes landed on Sekke their eyes widened in realization and all of them immediately moved away from him.
"What's going on?" asked Luniere as he glanced at Secre.
"My prince...Sekke's getting pissed," replied Secre as she sighed at her partner's antics.
"...seriously?" asked Lumiere.
"Seriously. Be sure to not be in his way. You won't survive." said Secre in a serious tone.
Lumiere wanted to ask if Secre was joking with him since not to brag but he was pretty strong.
But one look at Secre and he could tell that she wasn't joking and decided to keep her advice in mind, though in the end, he did believe it was him and Licht that would be dealing with the devil since normal magic wasn't effective against him.
Not knowing what was going on with the human bastards the devil started using his magic and started speaking an unknown language.
Several portals opened and the tentacle-like structures started to come out of it and started filling the whole room.
"You all will now die!!" exclaimed the devil as he pointed his hand toward the elves and humans and started attacking them with the dark tentacle-like structures.
Feeling the eerie mana and ki from the attack, Asta and the others immediately moved away to dodge the attack but soon frowned seeing that they weren't the targets of the attack.
All the different waves of tentacles surrounded Sekke and his bronze platform giving him no path of escape.
"I admit that I have been underestimating you for a while now, but not anymore. This is where you die!!!" declared the devil loudly.
Secre who was looking at the incoming attack in panic wanted Sekke to move away from it but one look at his back made her calm down and stop panicking.
Sekke calmly looked at his surroundings and simply unsheathed Extase.
"Secre, bird form. Pocket now," ordered Sekke.
Not wasting even a second, mana gathered around her body and soon she transformed into her anti-bird form.
She immediately hid inside Sekke's pocket who simply looked at the incoming tentacle from different directions and swung his sword.
[Extase: Space Cutter]
Before the tentacles could even reach him, they started to split in half and fall freely on the ground before getting destroyed.
"So, you were saying something about me dying?" asked Sekke in a calm tone.
Secre came out of his pocket and transformed back into her human form before standing beside Sekke with a proud look on her face.
Fana and Anna glared at Secre wanting to ask why she was feeling so proud when it was Sekke who did that.
Feeling their gaze Secre simply looked at them with an emotionless gaze before a smirk appeared on her face and she held Sekke's hands tightly and leaned on him.
Suddenly the people near Anna and Fana started to feel hot as the temperature around them started to rise.
Feeling that Secre felt satisfied and gazed at Sekke who looked back at her.
"What....Oh, you want to fight him as well, huh? Well alright, since you finally got your body back it would be good if you get a hang of fighting in it as well." said Sekke in a confident tone.
"Huh?"
"Oi devil! Be prepared, my first partner is now gonna kick your ass!!!" declared Sekke feeling excited.
"My other half....you sure you want that little birdy to fight?" asked Vritra.
'Well...if she wants to be called my familiar and my first partner then she gotta earn that spot.' replied Sekke.
".....Weird but dragon-like thought. I approve. Best of luck my other half's little birdy!" said Vritra.
Sekke nodded and pushed Secre forward to face the devil.
Secre looked at the devil and then at Sekke who was looking at her with anticipation. She looked back at the devil again then back at Sekke.
"Go on. The stage is yours," said Sekke.
'What stage?!?! Do you want me to die?!?!" mentally yelled Secre but soon felt two gazes once again.
Turning around she saw the fire magic sluts who were eyeing her Sekke for a while looking at her with small smirks on their faces.
Feeling annoyed by them her brows started twitching a bit.
'...Looks like some of this loveable idiot's habits rubbed off on me.' thought Secre.
"...You won't let me die right?" asked Secre.
"Yes."
"You will save me if it's too much for me to handle?"
"Yeah, don't worry."
"*Sigh* you demand too much from this weak girl," said Sekke as she eyed the devil once again before she walked forward and readied her grimoire.
"Let's do it then," said Secre in a determined voice.
"Haha hahaha!!!! You humans really know how to joke even in these kinds of situations. Do you think that this weak girl who couldn't even stop me 500 years ago can beat me?" said the devil while laughing hysterically.
Secre didn't say anything and just stared at the devil.
Pointing her finger at the devil, a small mana bullet formed over it, and soon after that her grimoire started flipping.
Soon she fired the magic bullet at the devil who just started to laugh hysterically seeing the feeble magic bullet approaching him.
The devil soon stopped laughing and just raised his hand to crush the incoming mana bullet in his hand.
"You really think this is gonna-"
However, the moment the bullet made contact with his hand a mana pattern appeared in the air, and the hand got sucked away in it leaving the devil left with only one hand and a mouth wide open.
"What happened? Saying something devil?" asked Secre in a cold tone.
".....Damn, even I didn't expect such a brutal attack," said Sekke.
"Hmph, I stayed with you all this time. There's no way I won't pick up some of your ideas," said Secre as she glanced back at Sekke and smirked.
"Just watch and get infatuated more and more with me, my dark lord."
