The Black Bulls travel to the Heart Kingdom with the other squad members (Leopold, Mimosa, Charlotte, and Rill), including an uninvited Charmy who insists on sampling Heart Kingdom cuisine. Gaja, who will train Luck, introduces the Spirit Guardians, Sarado of Earth who will train Mimosa and Charlotte, Potrof of Plants who will train Rill, Floga of Fire who will train Leopold, and Smurik of Wind who will train Finral. Queen Loropechika announces she will be training Secre while Undine trains Noelle. The Guardians reveal their technique, Mana Words, that enables them to imbue spells with complicated instructions, making them more intricate, accurate, and powerful. Unable to pass Gaja’s first test Magna is deemed not ready and leaves. Rill quickly takes to Mana Words by painting them. Charmy also proves adept at Mana Words but only uses them to find more food. Loropechika reveals to Noelle and Secre the others are being trained to stop the Spade army, but only Loropechika, Undine, Noelle, and Secre together will be capable of stopping Megicula and her human vessel, Vanica. Finral struggles in using his magic for attacks, more used to supporting his teammates. Asta also struggles as his straightforward methods are too limited for Gaja’s more strategic methods and he loses every training match. Finral passes on their progress to Yami who is shown undergoing his own training on Yultim Volcano Trail. Note: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Funimation added a disclaimer at the beginning of each episode stating that the English dub voice actors were able to record their lines from the safety of their homes.

The Guardians report their progress to Loropechika. Rill and Charmy are naturals at Mana Words but Noelle and Secre have made the most progress while Leopold and Finral have self-doubt which holds them back. A group of rebel Spade kingdom mages attempt to escape into the Clover kingdom through the strong mana region with important information about the Spade army.

He also explains how Yami taught him Ki detection. Gaja asks how Asta activates his devil form so Asta explains about his visit to the Witches Forest and his fight against Ladros when he activated his devil form by accident, then his training at Yultim volcano where he activated it intentionally. Asta explains how he received the Demon Destroyer sword during the Elves invasion that helped in his defeat of the devil Zagred. All that remained was his trial by Parliament and attempting to prove his innocence. Satisfied with the tale Gaja resumes dueling with Asta. Meanwhile, Loropechika explains to Noelle how everyone is improving and Noelle is hopeful she can get revenge for her mother.

The Bulls arrive and Mimosa helps the prisoners recover. Noelle reveals Luck and Leopold were sent to destroy the Spade base near to the prisoner’s village. Realising they get to return home safely the prisoners reveal the Spade kingdom is ruled by the Dark Triad, each possessed by a powerful devil, and their followers the Dark Disciples who draw demonic power from the Triad. The Triad, siblings Dante, Vanica and Zenon Zogratis, consider the loss of Candelo trivial when they are close to their goal for which they only need capture two Arcane Stage mages. Ralph finally crosses the border and collapses by Hage Church where Sister Lily finds him calling out for “Prince Yuno”.

Seeing Vanessa is both powerful and beautiful Dante decides he wants her as a mistress. Gauche creates multiple Asta clones, hoping Dante cannot dodge them all, but Dante activates his devil form and generates a reality warping black hole so every attack misses. Seeing that Asta is also devil possessed Dante attempts to reason with him that humans are the evil ones but Asta furiously disagrees. Dante destroys Rouge and stabs Gauche. Asta has a very brief flashback of a woman calling him her beloved son before unleashing his devil powers.

Dante is overjoyed that Yami was able to cut him as he had grown completely bored of the human world and Yami made him enjoy combat again. He explains that the Triad plan to reach the Underworld but require a spell called Tree of Qliphoth, which requires Vangeance’s world tree magic and Yami’s dark magic to allow every devil from the underworld to come to the human world. Disciple Halbet sets the Heart kingdoms fruit trees on fire, claiming all that is required for health and beauty is basic nutrition, thus eating food for pleasure is ridiculous. Outraged by this, the comically obese Charmy activates her adult form, instantly losing her excess weight and transforming her sheep chef into her gluttonous wolf. Halbet’s magic is entirely consumed leaving her defenceless, so Charmy beats her up, ruining her flawless beauty. Disciple Sivoir battles Leopold using hundreds of magic eyes to watch the entire battlefield.

The Disciples all recover from their injuries and continue attacking the kingdom, with Vanica revealing they will only die if they kill her first. As they duel Vanica hints at the impending capture of Vangeance and Yami. Loropechika, who has inherited the knowledge and experiences of all previous Heart Queens in a library in her mind, realises they are trying to grow the Tree of Qliphoth and destroy the human world. Combining Mana Zone with Mana Words Loropechika succeeds in halving Vanica’s magic power while increasing Noelle’s, which unlocks her Valkyrie Dress' Mermaid Form, but she is still almost overwhelmed. Loropechika, who had previously admitted she felt afraid and thus unfit to be queen, decides not to be afraid and begins her plan to defeat Vanica.

Vanica at first is able to withstand the attack and strike Noelle down but is actually injured from Noelle’s attack. Vanica is impressed and asks Noelle’s name, Noelle replying she is a Clover royal and a Black Bull. Yami and Dante continue their battle, with Dante explaining if they manage to open the tree of Qliphoth he will have access to all Lucifero’s powers, though he is unsure if the same applies to Asta who uses anti-magic. Yami is crushed under a giant boulder but survives and, deciding he must once again surpass his limits, condenses his entire mana zone to just the tip of his sword and creates Death Thrust, which obliterates Dante’s entire torso. Dante’s own Body Magic, boosted by Lucifero’s power, regenerates him in seconds and his reveal makes him incapable of dying.
