An explosion destroys the rest of the dungeon door and enter a newly reinvigorated and irate Mars enters the treasure hall, with an even more massive crystal suit, one of his eyes black and red. With one step, he sends crystals from all directions, trapping the lot of Yuno, Klaus and Luck with the other three somehow getting spared.
Klaus: IMPOSSIBLE! My binding spell was... broken?! He was unconscious and injured by those two commoners, so how is he already back? And recovered in such a short amount of time?! Wait-
He spots within the armor, flames surrounding the body and vvxneck of Mars.
Klaus: Is that flame recovery magic? But how! Mages no matter how powerful, can have only one magical attribute... The four elements fire, water, earth and wind. And mages imbued with mana from one of these, interact with each other in specific ways. Fire is strong against wind but weak towards water magical attributes. It is a known law that a mage can wield only one magical attribute stemming from one of the four elements or its deriatives. Yet in defiance, he's wielding two different magical attributes. And while he clearly commands attack magic, he can cast recovery magic too? Are those jewels the source of his power... INCONCEIVABLE!
Girl: Mars, I know you're going to be a wonderful warrior.... I'm sorry Mars, but this is the only way to end this... YOU HAVE TO DIE.
Noelle readies her wand, hoping to put out Mars' recovery magic. However in a split second with the most malevolent and sadistic face, Mars revs back and cracks Noelle with a back fist, laden with his suits power, horrifying Mimosa and everyone else for that matter as she lands with terrible thud.
Mimosa: NOELLE'S BEEN HIT!
Tyrus: NOELLE, SHIT! YOU SON OF A BITCH!
Cindy:Well ....I will help take down some
Mars:Where have you been Cindy
Cindy:Just exploring...beside i like fighting people with magic
'I can sense mana from all except 2 the one with a big sword and the flat pink haired girl since I have a mission'

Millim appeared behind Cindy kicking her back but no damage
Millim activated her new spell instant desructive domain
The three attacks destroyed the surroundings area
Note:Cindy was a clone
Rimuru : NOELLE, SHIT! YOU SON OF A BITCH!
Rimuru rushes over to his Black Bulls squadmate and holds her body, which her chest and abdomen having a critical hit as evident with the blood spurting.
Rimuru : NOELLE, TALK TO ME! COME ON, STAY WITH ME!
Asta: NOELLE!
She begins to stir, notifying everyone she was hurt badly but not dead, allowing rimuru to breathe a massive sigh of relief as he delicately set the royal down, his eyes narrowed to a deadly glint over Mars's direction.
Rimuru : I'm fucking done with you..... you just couldn't take your loss like a man. You nearly killed my friend, and trapped the others. Forget mercy, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU! Mimosa, come heal Noelle please, I'm taking out the trash once and for all!
Mimosa sensed the ice cold fury coming from rimuru , it was the same feeling when he had cleaned Klaus's clock. It wasn't directed at her, she hadn't done anything to incur his wrath. His call to her was one of plea and helplessness.
Mimosa: Yes, yes of course!
They trade places as his ice magic radiates off of him as he and Asta, sword drawn for the latter as they bull-rushed Mars.
Asta: HOW DARE YOU HURT MY FRIEND! DAMN YOU!!!
Mars smirks as the two rush him, he smacks rimuru who is just barely able to put a barrier up before being sent into a near stash of gold coins as he looks at Asta.
Mars: I finally figured out what your ability is, boy! You can nullify any type of magic with that sword of yours. Nifty little trick, but... what if the magic is faster than you!
Multiple blades circlulate and spin around with malicious fury as Asta deflects them, Rimuru rejoining the fight as he helps knocks the blades off course.
Rimuru : As if I'd let you take on this maniac alone, let's put him down... FOR GOOD!
Asta: RIGHT!
They continue to cut through the buzzsaw but still exhausted from their previous fight with Mars, both boys were realizing they were being outpaced by the blades he kept sending relentlessly. They kept them batting them around but a few finally broke their guard cutting them at various points.
Asta: AHHHH!
Rimuru : DAMN IT! They're too damn fast!
This was the opening Mars was looking for as he rares back a fist, hitting Asta, who just barely gets his sword up as a defense. It works somewhat as he sent back into a wall with the golden seal where Nero was previously seen.
Rimuru : Asta!
Mars: I wouldn't worry about your comrade boy!
He spits venomously as throws a fist his way, Tyrus dodging with a combination of grace and desperation.
Rimuru : He's my brother but you're right. I should be worrying about which part of the base I'M GOING TO MOUNT YOUR FUCKING HEAD IN!
Mars roars as he sends a flurry of even more blades the slime mage's way, who uses his daggers and gauntlets to reflect each blade back despite a few breaking through and cutting and slicing him, most notably on his arms, face and shoulders.
Mars: You're quite adept with weapons in the defensive aspect. You deflected the ones that should have killed you and have taken the ones that have otherwise given you superficial and non-fatal wounds.
Rimuru : I'm quite full of surprises, diamond-head! Believe me, I'm just getting started. You ready, punk?
Mars gets suddenly stricken with a flashback to that same girl as he sees nothing but blood red.
Girl: Are you ready, Mars?
He approaches rimuru who gets back into his defensive guard, ready to evade for his life as much as his legs would allow him. Meanwhile, Nero pecks at Asta's head as he wakes up to see a second sword which like his current one, is smaller in size and design.
Mars: Only those who are strong will live, those who are weak deserve nothing more than death.
Tyrus having dodged as best as he could, realizes now he's backed up to Noelle and Mimosa.
Rimuru : Shit, not good. He wanted me to back up into Mimosa and Noelle, he wants to take us all out in one go before he settles up on taking out the rest of them. Mimosa, how badly is she hurt?
Mimosa: They are worse than what I suffered when he ambushed Klaus, Yuno and I. I believe she may have a few fractured ribs, but she hasn't said that so I'm looking on the upside for now. But there's no time for Dream Healing Flower Cradle, I'll have to pull something far more advanced.
Rimuru : If you can do it, then do it! All of us are getting out of here alive, come hell or high water!
Klaus: We're not done yet! Don't give up you three! Cheery Berserker, Yuno. Are you having any luck getting out yet?
Mimosa summons a more powerful healing spell as her grimoires flips a few pages.
Mimosa: Plant Recovery Magic: Princess Healing Flower Robe! Stay strong for me Noelle!
Rimuru : I'll do the best I can Mimosa... It's my fault this Diamond clown backed me up into you! You just focus on healing Noelle!
A plant-like garb forms around Mimosa's head and Golden Dawn attire as the bright green associated with her spell continues to heal her cousin. A flashback plays in her mind back to when they were kids playing on the Vermillion Estate, and she had tripped with Noelle even a little bratty back then offering to help her up. She also remembers when people were doting on her gifts but harping on Noelle's inability to control hers and another instance where she healed a servant's nasty open cut.
Noelle (Flashback): People of our class have always looked down on others who put in the effort, hard work or are otherwise powerless. To us everything should be given and easily at that.
Mimosa: But you've always worked hard to be accepted and I have always admired you, Noelle! SO PLEASE KEEP FIGHTING!
Mars continues to relentlessly send cycle after cycle of spinning blades after Rimuru in an effort to make him slip up, but protecting his teammate and cousin seemed to had reinvigorate him as he furiously deflected each blade, not even caring if his body was getting sliced down.
Rimuru : YOU WON'T GET NEAR THEM, YOU'LL DIE BEFORE I LET YOU LAY A HAND ON NOELLE AND MIMOSA!
Slowly but surely, Noelle's wounds begins to disappear and just she was completely healed, Rimuru suffers a devastating hit that drives him back and lands with a thud, with Mimosa and Noelle now exposed to whatever hellacious intentions Mars had in store for the royals.
Mimosa: Rimuru , no!
Mars: Only those who are strong shall survive, the weak... deserve DEATH. And you two are the embodiment of weak! Now die-
Asta: HAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Asta finally returns destroying the blades meant to kill the cousins royal. More were sent his way when Rimuru joined him and began destroying more of the death spinners.
Rimuru : THIS IS THE BEST YOU CAN DO?! FIND SOMETHING NEW TO HIT US WITH!
Everyone is stunned to find Asta, with said another katana previously mentioned with Rimuru already up and seeking more punishment apparently.
Mars: Where did that sword come from?!
Asta: I TOLD YOU.... TO LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!
Rimuru : If you wanted a rematch, you could have just said that!
Asta: Your new opponents-
A side by side split of Asta and Rimuru faces are shown..
Asta and Rimuru : ARE US!
Rimuru : Round two starts now! COME AND GET IT YOU BEJEWELED CLOWN!
He draws his new sword, looking at Asta as they dash towards the newly dangerous and re-energized Mars. He started by firing off more blade cyclones as they made a beeline for the brothers.
Rimuru : Enough with this move, you one-trick pony! RAHHHHH!
Asta: HAHHHHHHHH!
Mars grits his teeth as the brothers spring up to a platform and prepare for a double slash, which connect but Asta's strike only draws a little blood and chips a tad of his armor before the flame recovery magic sets in healing his wound incredibly quick.
