Vetto Fight

"That combo magic was intensely powerful, and yet... They couldn't even scratch him?!" The high priest exclaimed as he and Yami watched.

"Magna, Luck, you were real men! You two better stand strong too...." Yami said.

"I see. So that's what a blow from an anti-magic sword is like," Vetto said as he easily and quickly recovered from Asta's attack that he just got hit with.

"If people take that head-on, I'd wager they usually go down immediately. That stung more than most mages' certain kill spells!" Vetto smiled.

"Then act like it hurts, you freak!! Why are you people collecting magic stones anyway?! You're busted!! We know all about it!!" Asta yelled.

"Why should I tell you? Magicless scum... Unloved by Mana!" Vetto replied.

"What was that?! Gaaargh!"

As the fight with Vetto began, Ozul, Asta, and Kiato knew they were up against a formidable foe. Vetto's overwhelming strength was evident from the start.

"Dad!!" Kiato exclaimed as he saw his dad full of blood on himself knocked out.

'He even got dad?! This guy... His total magic power's in a completely different league!! to the point where it's enough to stop an attack spell from an average mage all on its own!! The magic that rolls off him keeps him constantly protected..."

"I'll massacre everyone here and search for the magic stone at my leisure, I'll keep killing the residents of the Underwater Temple until I find it. Even frontier scum should keep me mildly entertained!!" Vetto smiled as the citizens watched as well with multiple magic screens in the city with scared and worried faces

"People I love- my family and those who are just like family- live here. I will never let you do that!!" Kiato exclaimed.

The three charged Vetto all three way with Ozul going for his blind spot, However, Vetto easily dodged and blocked each attack they did.

He counter-attacked with throwing multiple punches at the three sending them flying back.

'Is he reading our ki?! He's so fast it barely even matters if I read his??' Asta thought

With a single powerful strike, Vetto knocked Kiato out of the fight, sending him crashing into the cave wall. Now only Ozul and Asta remained standing, their resolve hardened as they realized the odds were staked completely against them.

Ozul and Asta exchanged a glance. determination gleaming in their eyes. 

Asta charged forward, swinging his sword with all his might, but Vetto effortlessly parried his attacks

*WOOSHH

*BOOOMM

Asta couldn't take the impact of the Vetto's hit making him fall to the ground.

Vetto stomped in his direction. Asta rolled over quickly dodging his foot.

"Chilish attacks like those... Won't work on me!!" Vetto laughed.

"I'm not done yet!!"

"Magicless trash... Prancing around with weapons is too good for you... You don't have a shred of hope. Let me tell you why!"

"One... You're weak against throws and other long-distance attacks," Vetto said as he grabbed a huge rock throwing it at Asta.

Asta quickly side-stepped avoiding the boulder.

*CRUNCHH

"Two.." 

Vetto lunged at Asta throwing multiple strong punches at him

"You're weak against those whose physical abilities are magically reinforced to be greater that yours."

"So what?!!!" Asta yelled.

With a swift motion, Vetto grabbed Asta's arm, forcing him to drop one of his swords.

Asta gritted his teeth, struggling against Vetto's iron grip, But the sheer strength of the beast mage was too much

"Third.. You don't know when to quit! The idea of trash like you holding the demon slayer sword and the demon dweller sword makes me sick!! You never had any hope of winning. Go on... Scream!! Despair!!" Vetto Yelled.

Asta opened his mouth biting Vetto's arm that was holding his.

"Ib I gwabe up... Whu cud I broteg?!" Asta tried to say as his mouth was filled with Vetto's arm.

"Huh...?"

Just as it seemed Asta was about to be overpowered, Ozul surged forward, his movements a blur of speed. Rai's lightning crackled around him, merging with his black flames as he unleashed a furry of attacks on Vetto two huge magic balls also hit his arm, forcing the Beast Mage to release Asta.

"Looks like your animal hearing wasn't sharp enough to pick that up," Ozul said as he stepped forward tightening the grip on his sword.

Noelle and Kahono entered the cave as well their grimoires floating next to each other with noelle's wand in her hand.

"He said 'If I gave up, who could I protect?'!!!" Noelle and Kahono exclaimed.
