As everyone teams up to fight, the devil realizes Licht and Lumiere have become stronger due to being affected by his magic in the past while Asta's Anti-magic can stop his attacks. The devil reveals his magic mass will continue to grow as long as he is alive, so Licht casts a spell, using the power of all the remaining elves to unlock the Demon Dweller Sword's true potential to obliterate him.

Asta realizes the Demon Slayer Sword must also have an ultimate power and that he must unlock it using a power no one else has. |||||||

Julius orders William to help with the recovery effort. Julius reveals to Yami, Asta, Mimosa, Noelle, and Secre that his younger body has far less magic, meaning he has less influence over the selfish nobles and will be unable to protect the kingdom from attack. He also worries Asta may die; as his power is demonic and since it was a devil who attacked the kingdom, the Magic Parliament will probably blame Asta then execute him. Secre confirms that Asta's demon form as well as the horns on her head could be used as evidence they had contact with devils. Mimosa explains the Magic Parliament are royals and nobles who create laws and preside over trials for serious crimes.

| As the Black Bulls leave the kingdom to begin investigating the mystery of demons and clearing Asta's name, Secre reflects on her past. Together with Lumiere they created the first magic tools, met Licht, and realized they both possessed 4 leaf Grimoires. She watched them become best friends and then family by Licht marrying Tetia, and saw how close he and Licht came to creating an equal society, until the Devil, Zagred came. He manipulated the humans, using the jealousy and greed of the royals and nobles to bring about the massacre. During the massacre Lumiere realized the elves were murdered with his Light Magic, stored in a magic tool he and Secre created and made stronger by the elves magic stones, all to create a 5 leaf Grimoire while Lumiere was forced to kill Licht when he transformed into the giant demon. Secre then managed to seal Zagred before he could claim the 5 leaf Grimoire and saved Lumiere from death by sealing him in a statue, all at the cost of being transformed into an Anti-bird for using forbidden magic. Eventually she found something to hope for when she sensed a power that could one day defeat Zagred, the day Asta and Yuno were left at the orphanage. |||||||

| Secre continues to reminisce. She watched Asta and Yuno grow up while at the same time Patry was reincarnated into William Vangeance, not knowing this was Zagred's plan all along. Secre watched as Asta was given the 5 leaf Grimoire and was surprised to learn that the devil residing within it was different from the one 500 years ago and that it chose to help Asta. Over time she saw the Eye of the Midnight Sun attack many places searching for the magic stones, including the Underwater Temple and the Capital City and finally the resurrection of the elves. She witnessed the Apostles of Sephira open the Shadow Palace, hoping to make their resurrections permanent, but instead summoning Zagred, who revealed he cast the resurrection spell to create another 5 leaf Grimoire. With the devil's returned, Secre was able to transform back into a human and free Lumiere from the statue, resulting in the Black Bulls and the other magic knights and captains battling him until he was eventually killed by Asta. In the end, she was able to say goodbye to Lumiere and begin a new life, only this time she would not be alone, she has her new friends the Black Bulls.

In the capital, Captain Charlotte is embarrassed at the memories she has of the elf that possessed her talking with Yami, then when Yami suddenly appears in her hospital room. Yami tries to ask Charlotte about her own curse, but she is so overwhelmed she has a breakdown and runs mad throughout the city. Hours later she calms down and recalls Yami helping her break her curse. She gathers the Blue Rose Knights, an all-female squad who refuses to rely on men, and admits she loves Yami and is stepping down as Captain. However, she is shocked when her knights declare they will support her since most of them have secret boyfriends anyway. Charlotte nervously agrees to tell Yami how she feels, just as he arrives with Asta and Secre. Yami believes Charlotte hates him since she ran away, making the knights think he is an oblivious idiot. Asta, in his usual blunt manner, reveals Charlotte must actually like him a lot to trust him so much, causing Sol to strangle him. Charlotte invites Yami to dinner, however at dinner Yami is too oblivious to realize it is supposed to be a date and continues asking about her curse. Despite being disappointed Charlotte explains her family was cursed by a mage so that when she turned 18 her soul and magic both changed form, a curse that likely came from the world of devils. She then reminds Yami that he has someone in the Bulls already familiar with curses, Gordon Agrippa. |||||||

The senile Nilenia mentions an ancestral contract called Curse of Megicula, upsetting Roxanne. Gordon asks Nathan about devils, and he agrees to explain, but asks Gordon to use his poison magic in their research. When Gordon refuses Nathan seemingly poisons Asta, only to reveal he took their ancestors death research and repurposed it into healing and medical advancement, which Gordon was unaware of. Elsewhere Noelle visits Captain Dorothy and demands to know how her mother really died after Nozel admitted it was not Noelle’s birth that killed her. For safety’s sake Dorothy takes Noelle to her dream world so they can talk freely. Dorothy explains Acier died as the result of a devil's curse, but anyone who talks about the curse will be inflicted by the same curse and die, hence why Nozel kept it a secret, even from Solid and Nebra. She further explains that the devil who cursed Acier was called Megicula. Nathan shows Asta a cursed map showing the devil curses currently active within the kingdom, including one at the Bulls hideout, which they assume to be Henry. Another powerful one is in the capital but the most powerful is far away in the Heart Kingdom. |||||||

| Yami learns the Heart Kingdoms can only be visited with an invitation. Finral visits Langris, who is surprised Finral is determined to improve himself and take Finnes Calmreich as his wife, though Langris believes Finral is incapable of making Finnes happy due to his brother's habit of flirting with women and challenges Finral to become a better man. Mimosa reveals the Heart Kingdom is rich in natural mana, ruled by a Queen as powerful as a knight squad. Mimosa acquires invitations to the Heart Kingdom for herself, Asta, Noelle and Finral, with Secre hiding in her bird form. As they enter the Heart Kingdom it is revealed the Queen plans to seize Asta’s devil power for herself. Gaja, a Spirit Guardian, directs them to the palace via a river that flows uphill, thanks to the Queen’s Mana Zone, which is so large it covers the whole kingdom. Gaja explains every queen for 1200 years has made a pact with Undine, the Spirit of Water. Asta is suddenly kidnapped, while the others are forced to battle Gaja, who is vastly more skilled. Asta is deposited in the palace where his devil form impresses Undine. She reveals the Heart Kingdom measures magical strength in Stages and Asta barely ranks 9th Stage, the weakest, while Noelle and Mimosa rank 1st Stage, and it is suggested Gaja ranks even higher Zero Stage. However, working together, Noelle, Mimosa and Finral manage to land a powerful attack on Gaja, while Secre manages to free Asta from Undine and he attacks a nearby ki presence, assuming it to be the Queen. |||||||

| The ki turns out to be a decoy for the real Queen, Loropechika, a clumsy, absent-minded young woman. Gaja is impressed with Noelle, Mimosa, and Finral and introduces them to Loropechika, who reveals she was cursed by Megicula and will die in a year. Undine explains they want Asta and the others to help defeat Megicula, who is in the Spade kingdom, as Loropechika inherited the power of all previous Heart Queens and is too precious to die so young. Vanessa, Magna, and Luck scout the Diamond Kingdom’s border and witness a Spade knight defeat a Diamond army, which even scares Luck. Loropechika explains Heart mages are limited to natural magic like water and are incapable of truly killing a devil, whereas Clover mages invented unnatural magic, such as Spatial and Time magic, and certain mages born in such an unnatural environment can kill devils, such as Yami, Asta, and Secre, who Loropechika classes in the Arcane Stage, above Stage Zero. Mimosa contacts Julius and he agrees the Clover kingdom will help. Loropechika reveals that Megicula is more powerful than the devil that revived the elves, because he is siphoning power from Spade citizens, preparing to invade all the kingdoms, thus Loropechika is planning to invade the Spade Kingdom before she dies and asks Asta and his friends to grow stronger and gather other Arcane mages for the invasion in 6 months. They explain the situation to Yami who deduces the Spade knight must have been possessed by Megicula. Yami orders every Bull to train for the entire 6 months and become at least as strong as a Squad Vice Captain in preparation for war. |||||||

Several captains attempt to quit out of guilt for attacking the kingdom while possessed but Julius refuses to let them. Damnatio agrees to wait until after the war to decide what to do with Asta. Julius brings in former Purple Orca’s captain Gueldre and explains that since the city repairs are so expensive he is pardoning Gueldre’s crimes in exchange for his ability to make a profit. He also cuts the captains salaries in half, which most agree to, except a horrified Jack and Yami who get drunk and attempt to recoup the loss by playing poker against Vangeance, only to lose their entire salaries when he easily beats them. |||||||

Noelle races ahead of Asta using her water armor, but when she sees Asta chasing her from behind she imagines them in a romantic beach setting and punishes Asta with a water blast, becoming lost in the steam and wandering into the spider's lair. Asta and Leopold save Noelle but the spider escapes. Mereoleona admits the spider is an intruder but as it is scared of her it always escapes before she can find it, so she used the Bulls as bait, also teaching them the importance of expecting the unexpected. She then reveals that having finally seen the spider herself, it is actually a man-made mutant. Fuegoleon uses Salamander to expose a doorway behind a rock wall, revealing the spider is actually guarding the entrance to a previously unidentified dungeon. |||||||

| Before the Midnight Sun attacked the capital a young woman named Dazu Tayaku lived with her husband and mother-in-law. Dazu is a user of Catalyst Magic, meaning she can only borrow magic from others but has no magic of her own. During the elves invasion her husband and mother-in-law were both killed and her husband died cursing her uselessness without magic. Dazu later heard the false rumour of Asta being a devil’s servant and causing the invasion. At the same time one of Damnatio’s subordinates, Kabwe Karyon, is furious Damnatio gave Asta and Secre 6 months to prove their innocence instead of executing them instantly. Dazu, and her friend, Bou Nokude, approach Kabwe about joining the Devil Banishers, their vigilante group dedicated to revenge against the devil’s servants, meaning Asta, Secre and anyone formerly possessed by an elf soul. First, they kidnap Gauche’s sister Marie from the church, injuring Neige when he tries to stop them. Next, they attack the Bulls hideout, knocking Asta and Secre unconscious with gas, but when Noelle arrives the Banishers only manage to escape with Secre. Noelle tends to Asta while Gauche goes to visit Marie and is furious when he learns she is missing. |||||||

| Before being kidnapped Secre frees Asta from the tracking spell bracelet placed on him by Nozel. The Banishers take Secre to their hideout in Dazu’s destroyed village. Once Yami is reassured Asta will eventually wake up on his own he has Marx examine Asta’s memories. Meanwhile Gauche interrogates Neige about Marie’s kidnap and deduces the kidnappers are linked to Damnatio and forces his way into his office. Damnatio denies all knowledge of Marie’s kidnapping and tries to pass judgement on them for destroying his office. Yami, having sensed the commotion, arrives to save them and learns about Marie being kidnapped as well as Secre. Damnatio willingly lets Marx examine his memories to prove his innocence. The Wizard King sends Nozel who reveals the bracelet he placed on Asta is still working, meaning when Secre removed it from Asta she must have put it on herself. The Bulls decide to travel to the location with Gauche only being allowed to go when the Wizard King insists Damnatio let him. Nozel also decides to go, almost getting in a fight when Yami teases him about being worried about Noelle’s safety. Arriving at the village Noelle is surprised the village is still in ruins so long after the invasion and Nozel regrets there are only so many magic knights to help and many such villages are still suffering. Yami and Finral come across Dazu at her husband and mother's graves. |||||||

| Dazu angrily blames the Magic Knights for not protecting her village before storming off to the Banishers headquarters, the basement of Bou’s medical clinic, with news the Bulls have arrived, causing Secre’s tracking bracelet to be discovered and disposed of. The Banishers decide to kill Marie and Secre as a political message to the corrupt Magic Knights, but Dazu wants to capture Asta first, since his execution will gain more public attention. Unable to question the hostile villagers the Bulls reluctantly return to the city where Asta has just awoken. Yami attends a Captains meeting with the Wizard King. Damnatio, having realised several of his subordinates are Banishers who aided in the kidnapping, offers information about Kabwe that leads the Captains to assume he will execute Secre and Marie as publicly as possible to gain the approval of the common people, possibly leading to revolution against the government, nobles and the Magic Knights, which must be avoided at all costs if they are to stand a chance against Megicula and the Spade Kingdom. In the nearby city of Lehart a message appears announcing the imminent public execution of two devil’s servants. |||||||

| The Bulls infiltrate Lehart alongside the other Magic Knights and find a large crowd of angry commoners gathered. Vanessa is approached by two Banishers who demand she leaves with them quietly or Secre and Marie will be killed instantly. The Banishers arrive and Kabwe announces he is willing to spare Secre and Marie if Asta surrenders himself. Asta reveals himself but then reveals he is Grey in disguise while the real Asta attacks from above. As the battle rages several Banishers turn invisible and escape with Secre and Marie while Asta follows their ki. Sensing the battle Vanessa decides to escape, only for the two Banishers to reveal their job was to remove her fate altering magic from the battle. The two then commit suicide in front of a shocked Vanessa. Asta catches the Banishers but is forced to surrender his Grimoire. Asta instead surprises them by saving Marie using only physical strength. Yuno arrives with Mimosa and Klaus, forcing the outnumbered Banishers to flee with Secre and Asta’s Grimoire. Yuno reminds a devastated Asta he still possesses his original power, never giving up. The Wizard king worries Asta’s Grimoire was the real target all along, and this is confirmed when an injured Kabwe contacts him and the Captains with the message his Banishers are all dead and Asta’s Grimoire stolen by the Devil Believers, a devil worshipping group aiming to steal the devil’s power from the Grimoire. |||||||

| Shortly before Kabwe contacted the Wizard King it is shown he and the Banishers were betrayed by Dazu and the Believers who infiltrated the Banishers to take control of Asta’s 5 leaf Grimoire. They believe that if they gain Devil powers they can become like Asta who became a Magic Knight despite possessing no magic. With Kabwe and the Banishers dead and the Believers exposed the Wizard King orders Yami to destroy them and retrieve Secre and the Grimoire. Following Kabwe’s signal they find the Banishers hideout and learn from a villager it was the home of Bow, an apothecary with weak magic. Following her directions they find Dazu’s home where her husband and mother-in-law died. The Wizard King deduces the Believers want to get to the Spade Kingdom to offer Secre and the Grimoire as gifts to Megicula in exchange for his power. During several days of pursuit Yami notices wherever the Believers go people disappear from villages, people with weak magic tempted into joining the Believers to gain Devil powers. Following them over the border into the Spade kingdom Asta, Noelle and Magna finally catch up to the Believers who have managed to recruit hundreds of members. |||||||

| Secre warns the Believers an area of strong natural magic stands between them and the Spade Kingdom but the Believers decide to continue. Magna leaves to try and contact Yami. Asta lands in front of the Believers and is shocked when they begin worshipping him. Asta demands the return of Secre and his Grimoire but Dazu and Bow are determined to go as the risk of death is preferable to returning to their previous lives at the bottom of society. They also reveal that once Megicula gives them devil powers they plan to return to the Clover Kingdom and destroy it as revenge. Asta furiously criticises them, despite having suffered like the Believers he only ever wanted to help others. Unable to reason with them Asta offers himself as a replacement for Secre, only for the Believers to restrain himself and Noelle as well as Secre. Bow explains that with Dazu’s Catalyst Magic they plan to combine all the Believers weak magic into one spell strong enough to protect them from the natural magic, reasoning that even if only one Believer survives and gains devil powers, the deaths of everyone else will be worth it. Magna finally arrives with Yami. |||||||

Dazu and Bow are shocked when the Bulls save them and defeat the dragon. Vangeance arrives with Damnatio. The Believers fear Vangeance means to execute them, until Vangeance points out most of them have committed no crimes. The Believers struggle to believe royal captains would bother to negotiate with commoners until Yami points out he became a Captain despite being a commoner and a foreigner. Nozel and Fuegoleon apologise for the discrimination the Believers have faced and swear to improve Clover society. Vangeance even reveals his scarred face to show how committed he is. Convinced, most of the Believers return home. For their crimes Damnatio exiles Dazu, Bow and three other Believers who were once members of the Magic Parliament. He offers them a portal to a safe destination outside the kingdom but they instead opt to enter the magic region on foot to reach the Spade kingdom, still hoping to gain devil powers. Dazu returns Asta’s Grimoire so Asta swears to make the Clover kingdom a better place, even if the Believers are too far away to see it. As they leave the Believers warn Asta unless society changes, someone else will finish what they started. With his Grimoire returned Asta returns home. |||||||

After Finral and Noelle both fail to catch Mugi Asta catches him with his ki detection, impressing Loropechika. Asta returns her glasses, but Loropechika is so clumsy she immediately breaks them. Gaja arrives with multiple spare glasses so Noelle punishes Asta for having wasted their time volunteering to catch Mugi. Loropechika apologises the preparations took so long but the Spirit Guardians needed to prepare as much as possible to train Asta and Secre together. The Wizard King reveals to Secre he possesses Lumiere’s designs for the magic tool and has taken steps to begin building it in order to end magical discrimination. Secre is happy Lumiere’s dreams have managed to survive through the Wizard King. |||||||

Fuegoleon escapes the cage, damages the crystal, and renders Kaiser unconscious. Jack is trapped inside Vangeance’s tree, leaving Nozel alone against Charlotte, Vangeance and Fuegoleon.

With the citizens reassured of the Captains power the Wizard King declares the match a success. |||||||
