Rescue ; Teaming Up.

After that Rebecca told about the strange disappearence of kids. Some parents nearby also came out of their houses searching for their kids.

The Old nun too stepped forward, "I sense magic. A spell that controls it's targets. It maybe limited to children whose magic hasn't developed. Some of ours were also taken, I don't know why they want to kidnap them." She replied deducing the snow and connected the disappearances.

"Old Hag don't tell me.... Marie better not be one of them." Guache replied while his eyes darkened.

"Unfortunately yes!"

Gauche appeared and grabbed the Old Nun collars. "𝐎𝐥𝐝 𝐇𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐠! 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐠! 𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚍𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚐!?"

"Resorting voilence, I knew yiu were good for nothing. Would it bring her back, if you vent on me?" Old Nun reasoned back professionally as Gauche mind was still blind with rage.

"𝙱𝚞𝚝 𝙸'𝚟𝚎 𝚐𝚘𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚟𝚎𝚗𝚝 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎." He raises his right hand to punch old hag face when Asta face appeared in trajectory taking the full brunt.

"Asta you little....." Gauche couldn't help but curse inwardly as he was getting halted everytime because of Asta.

"Now now, Mister Gauche calm a little....." Suddenly Asta appeared behind of Gauche without his attention and grabbed him on waist before giving him a 𝕊𝕦𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕩.

"... 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭!!? A magic knight should always keep his head cool." Asta repeated the advice given by Fuegoleon.

"You're right, 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐥𝐲." Asta panicked listening the yell of Gauche as he felt he had overdid it.

"𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚑𝚞𝚛𝚝𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚋𝚛𝚊𝚝!"

"Let's postpone our fight for later date, we have to find clues."

After that Gauche told about his magic mirror which he gift to Marie which was connected to magic mirror and he will find her location.

"That's 𝐢𝐭?" Asta said with a unconvinced tone.

"All right! 𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚊𝚜𝚒𝚍𝚎 𝙸'𝚖 𝚔𝚒𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚢𝚘𝚞!!"

"Say what!?"

"I will go as well, we have to bring our children back." Nun voiced her opinion.

"Asta.... Marco's dumb and Luca has a stubborn streak. I'm worried.... What I will do? If anything happens to them." Rebecca came forward grabbing Asta hand and cried.

Asta bonked her head, THWAP* "Snap out of it Rebecca, I'm gonna bring em back! If you're panicking when we get back you're gonna get laughed at." Asta encouraged her bringing a blush over her face.

[A/N : Aaaaaah! Dumb Protagonist at fittest!]

After that Gauche took out his broom and stood upon it while Asta grabbed the edge because Adlai wouldn't allow him to share the broom with him. Old Nun too followed with her broom.

After following the magic flow they reached a huge cave blanketed by snow. When they found Marco lying on plain snow, Asta noticing it jumped down while Nun followed him.

Gauche went inside the cave to search for Marie.

At entrance of Cave.

"This is bad he's covered with bruises and he's still under spells control." Nun informed Asta of Danger.

Asta without thinking took out his Demon Slayer Sword from his grimoire before touching it's hilt on Marco's head dispelling the spell with Anti magic.

"Huh?.... Asta and sister?" Marco regained his consciousness before finding two familiar people.

Old nag was shocked how easily Asta dealt with situation dispelling the spell within a second. After that Nun casted two spells recovery with warming respectively. Then Asta made Marco remain within the spell by giving his magic knight jacket for a loan.

After entering the cave, Gauche found unresponsive childrens sitting on ground. While the perpetrators were forcing Marie to sit on machine which earlier sucked the magic pawer of previous girl.

"ᗰᗩᖇᖇIIIIᗴ!" Gauche hurriedly took out his grimoire activating his spell in haste.

"Gauche!!" Marie replied while tears fell form her eyes.

Watching her tears, Gauche was enraged to give some beating. "𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐠𝐬 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞!!?" He fired a magic beam with his mirror magic attacking at first person which was pale white kid dressed in major white robe.

The two culprits panicked as it took less time to find out their location. Without any choice the pale faced guy opened his grimoire attacking with ice attribute spell.

𝑺𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝑴𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒄 ----- 𝑺𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝑪𝒓𝒚!

Guache summoned many mirrors teleporting to different space without any scratch.

Pale face guy decided to change his spell.

𝑺𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝑪𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑴𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒄 ------ ------ 𝑺𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝑭𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔!

This magic creates golems/puppets with snow.

But Guache too was ready for attack with his spell destroying all the snow puppets.

𝑴𝒊𝒓𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒓 𝑴𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒄 ----------- 𝑹𝒆𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝑹𝒆𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏!

"𝚃𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚖𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚊𝚌𝚛𝚎!" Gauche glared at thebtwo culprits with killing intent.

The two culprits started panicking when they find Gauche seemed to be stronger opponent. Because of him, they can't continue their mana absorption experiment.

Then they heard loud noise from outside of cave, realising Gauche came with a backup. Now they were at wits end.

𝐑𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐠𝐡𝐡𝐡! 𝐑𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐠𝐠𝐠𝐠𝐠𝐡𝐡𝐡𝐡𝐡𝐡!

Asta and old nun entered the cave finding gauche in stalemate. They find children unconscious on pale ground. Old Nun went to scheck their condition, "These children there magic have been extracted.... they wouldn't be able to use magic in their lifetime."

Her reply stunned Asta, he couldn't help but remember how he was scorned because of his lack of mana. Finding those kids would suffer the same fate as him, he couldn't help rage!

"𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐝𝐨 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞!" Asta eyed both culprits with disgust and contempt.

"Damn it.... reinforcement. Huh? This guy....

𝐆𝐰𝐞𝐡 𝐡𝐞𝐡 𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐞 𝐡𝐚!! 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮?! 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐭 𝐧𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜! 𝐀 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐤 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐤𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧-"

The culprit with specs wanted to taunt Asta so that he could perform mistakes in upcoming fight when he was interrupted by Asta appearing infront of him with a short dash.

Asta was holding a huge-ass sword aiming at him hitting the specs culprit knocking him in air, who struck to the cave wall. Now he was bleeding from his mouth.

"𝐆𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐞𝐞!"

The old Nun couldn't help but shocked at Asta's strength, who was able to knock down a person in air with a blunt sword. Now she realised, Asta was able to do all unimaginable things with his strength and Anti Magic sword.

Gauche too attacked the pale faced culprit,

"𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲? 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐰𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐫!" Scaring the crap out him forcing him to use another spell.

𝑺𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝑩𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒍𝒍 ------ 𝑺𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝑳𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝑹𝒐𝒄𝒌!

He smiled thinking he sealed the mirror guy, when another mirror attack strucked him from behind. While falling, he was shocked finding two Gauche, one was in his binding spell another was behind him.

"𝙷𝚞𝚑!? 𝚆𝚑𝚢 𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎.... 𝚊𝚗𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚘𝚗𝚎....."

𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝑫𝒐𝒖𝒃𝒍𝒆!

It was a magic spell which summons another him from mirror world. He had already activated it before the fight.

Old Nun was shocked by Guache display of offense, who was now using many tactics and was over powering the young criminal which covered the entire nean with his magical ice.

"𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠!? 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐠𝐮𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐝...." The specs criminal grunted in annoyance finding Niege was already knocked out. Without his knowledge a hand grabbed him from his neck lifting him from ground, it was chad-asta!

𝐆𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐓* "Why did you do something so cruel!? Do you even know how much it hurts losing magic! Do you!?" Asta looked at the criminal with chilling glare.

But Spec criminal still taunted asta trying to find fault in his defence.

"𝚆𝚑𝚢 𝚍𝚘 𝙸 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚎, 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝙼𝚘𝚛𝚘𝚗!!? 𝙸𝚝 𝚍𝚘𝚎𝚜𝚗'𝚝 𝚖𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚎 𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚐𝚞𝚢𝚜 𝚍𝚒𝚎 𝚘𝚛 𝚕𝚘𝚜𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚒𝚛 𝚖𝚊𝚐𝚒𝚌!!"

Asta loses his cool and attacked him with a devastating blow knocking out the spec criminal, he has grown lot stronger with training with his older brother Emiya.
