Devil Trial

The Trial of Asta and Secre is a ploy made by Damnatio to pin the previous events on Asta and Secre to divert the kingdom's attention from the possessed Magic Knights.

Prologue
After the reincarnation spell was dispelled, Yami and William go to find Julius's body but discover him alive as a thirteen year-old. Julius reassured Yami of his current state despite his death and informed William that he plans to have him atone for his sins by helping the kingdom. He and Yami then go to meet with Asta, Noelle, Secre, and Mimosa and inform them of the Clover Kingdom's current circumstances: Julius is powerless, the Magic Knights are weakened from the previous clash with the Elves thus leaving the Kingdom open to invasion, and Asta could possibly die.
