The fight is finally over with Yuno's late but powerful finishing attack. However, Asta is greatly injured and the dungeon is beginning to collapse. Can all of them survive this predicament?

Summary
Asta's attack of a stream of water manages to hit Mars and extinguish his healing spell. Upon seeing it, Mimosa Vermilion infers that Asta's newfound sword is able to absorb Noelle Silva's mana that has an affinity of water. Unfortunately, Asta is unable to completely neutralizes Mars' previous attacks and falls down as one of the blades pierces his abdomen.

Mars who is still able to fight, generates an enormous sword and immediately prepares to kill Asta. On the other end, Luck Voltia and Klaus Lunette tries to stop Mars by slowly cracking the crystal structures that are binding them with their magics. Yuno manages to break his binding before them and quickly searches his grimoires to find a spell that could save Asta. Unfortunately, he could not find a suitable spell but Yuno is still determine on saving Asta.

At that moment, everything on Yuno's surrounding suddenly stop moving as he finds a little girl with a pair of wings appears beside him. The said girl is yawning, as if she is just waking up from a long sleep. She then blows a puff of air on Mars' direction and the latter is suddenly being pushed away at the opposite direction with all of his magic spells crumbling to pieces. Subsequently, the crystals that are binding Klaus and Luck dissipates into thin air and Klaus determines that Mars has been truly defeated.

When Yuno looks back at the little girl's direction, she has already disappeared. Additionally, Yuno also finds that the writing that he saw inside the scroll from earlier is now appearing in his grimoire. Furthermore, Asta's newfound sword begins shaking as it enters Asta's grimoire and mysterious writings are also appearing on its place. The moment that the writings are appearing on both Asta and Yuno's grimoire, the dungeon begins to collapse with the spots where the scroll and the sword were located as the initial points of rupture.
