Anderea had tried to warn the boy about the gate behind him, but as he had turned a sudden blasted of flames had shot out. "How can I be panicking?" However, it was not from the gate but Leopold that had not only regained consciousness but also his senses. "I always need to remain calm... Right, Brother!?"
"Leopold!" Noelle was stunned by his sudden awakening, while Anderea appeared to have relaxed a bit.
"This isn't good... We can't afford to lose Rades, too." Valtos was speaking to himself, glancing over towards Anderea, who he noticed hadn't tried attacking, despite the situation. He did find it odd, however, he didn't have the time to think of why.
"D-Damn you all! Get away! Stay back!" The once smuggled Rades had become no different then a frighten rat as he was backing away from Asta and Leopold that were walking towards him.
"Pathetic." A sudden voice appeared, one that did not belonging to those gathered. "We received orders from Master to come here, and look at you... You're struggling against this lot. How pathetic." The voice was not coming from any specific spot, but once it had finished speaking, the wind began the blow. It gathered together around the group and soon more people began to appear from within the wind. Five new enemies had appeared and were all wearing the same robes.
"No one asked for your help!" Despite his whining before, Rades had shouted this as those that appeared.
"Aw, you should be thanking us." A voice belong to a girl caught his attention. "If we hadn't arrived, you definitely would've been captured and dissected alive." She had spoken with a cheerful tone, despite her cruel words. "And if you're gonna be dissected, I want to be the one to do it."
"Shut up!" Though it didn't appear out of the ordinary to the man. "Anyway, it looks like the tables have turned!" As he had spoken that, a sudden chuck caught his attention and when all looked to where it came from, all watched as Asta had brought both his swords towards where his most serious wounds were and sliced at them. A purple mist had soon floated from them.
"Asta!"
"You..."Needless to say that this came as a shock.
"Now I can keep fighting!" The young man had a large grin across his face.
"Noelle, did Asta get hit by magic where those injuries were?" This sudden question from behind pulled the silver hair girl to Anderea, who was wide eyes looking at Asta.
"Y-Yes, that's right." She answered, not that she understood why she asked this. The reason this question had been asked was because the vice captain noticed that the intense bleeding from the boy had stop. He was still bleeding but it wasn't like before.
"He used the anti-magic swords on his own body in order to break the curses on him." She couldn't believe that someone would actually hurt their own body in order to accomplish such a thing.
"Wow, he's fun. Can I dissect him later?" The creepy girl was asking while pointing over to Asta.
"Quiet." But she was rejected by the voice they had heard before they all appeared.
"Boo. You're such a spoilsport." After that had been said, the five new mages had all began gathering mana at the palms of their right hands that were being held out in front of them.
"All I've ever faced since I was born... was adversity." Asta was speaking, not paying any attention to the mages while glaring right at Rades. "No matter how many come at me, no matter what happens, I'll blast them all away! All right! Come at me!" He was shouting at the mages, ready for whatever they throw at him.
"It seems he's lost his mind in the face of our numbers." Had been the conclusion of the leader of the group.
"Whatever. He's about to die anyway." Not that it mattered to the others.
"What about the Queen of the Knight?" Another was asking, looking over to the pink hair woman.
"No need to worry. She wouldn't be able to do much." The answer had been given by another. The spells were all fired at once heading right for the young man. However, to all their surprised, Asta had rotated his body around and around with his swords cutting through all the spells that were bing fired one after another.
"There's no use in fighting."
"You need to learn when to give up." Rades was once again acting all smug as he shouted that. But Asta didn't listen as he continued.
"Oh, so that's him."
"So this is the anti-magic brat our master spoke of." The enemy knew who Asta was, however...
"They know of Asta?" Anderea didn't understand who they were able to know. No one knew the true abilities of Asta but a hand full of people. And yet these people knew. "There's a traitor among the captains..." This little amount of information had given her that conclusion as it would also explain the barrier as well.
"Keep a cool head... Right, sir?" Asta began to mutter to himself, through his exhaustion. "I'll stay calm... while I kick their butts!"
"This little..." seeing this had annoyed one of the mages.
"Flame Magic..." Leopold's grimoire was wide open as flames began firing from him. "...Exploding Flames!" He thrusted his hand downwards and a burst of flames manifest on the ground, multiple fireballs manifest and launch in every direction.
"Wow!" The mages began to dodged these attacks.
"You think I'm going to let you people throw your weight around after what you did to my brother!?" The fire mage asked as flames were gathering in the palm of his hand before he attack once again. "Let me join you, my rival!"
"Sure! Go right ahead!" Asta have him permission as he was swinging his swords around.
"What the hell are you doing!?"Rades began shouting at those that come to help. "Hurry up and kill them!"
"We know." Is was then when all the mages had pointed their hands in the direction of Asta and Leopold. "They aren't our targets... But we'll kill them now!" In that moment the spells had been fired, however, none of the attacks reached them as a large sphere around the pair made of water.
"Noelle!" The Black Bulls' member called out the one those belonged to.
"Don't think that you can kill my friends so easily!" The girl shouted with her wand pulled out.
"Wow... That quite the defensive spell." The enemy seemed to impressed at the sight of the spell.
"Judging from your appearance, you must be a member of the royal Silva family." The silver hair the young girl has is the symbol of the Silva house, while Fuegoleon and Leopold's was their vermilion red hair. Even Anderea's hair colour and eyes were they traits of those from her bloodline. "Int hat case, I'll use my grimoire against you. I wouldn't want to be rude." As that was being said, the terrorist's grimoire began glowing green and opened up. "Tree Creation Magic..." The ground just outside the barrier had began to crumble. "...Magic-Draining Roots!" Only for large roots to shoot up and grow at such speed that they immediately surround the sphere.
"Asta!" It didn't take long to notice that the spell was growing weak.
"I know." Even the none magic boy was able to tell.
"What are you planning to do?" However, Leopold didn't know what the plan was in this situation.
"No... they swallowed my torrent." Noelle still couldn't believe as she watched her spell disappearing. But the two young mages that had been in there didn't hesitate in attacking the moment the spell completely disappeared.
"Your fighting instincts are admirable."the leader of this small group had his grimoire opened. "Wind Creation Magic..." Wind began to gather in the area around the man. "... Tornado Needles!" Soon Multiple miniature vortex of wind and elongates the vortex to create needle-shaped spears to attack towards the two and pierced them.
"He's... too fast."
"Asta! Leopold!" Noelle screamed over to them both, as they were now laying on the ground. "Sister, shouldn't you do something!?" She turned to the woman after noticing how exhausted others were.
"I-I'm sorry..."But despite seeing the same thing, Anderea only apologised while bitting down on her lips in frustration and looking down at Fuegoleon. This was something Noelle couldn't understand. She knew how powerful the woman was but why was she so hesitant about fight?
"Now, let's end this."
"N-No way..."And then another one of the same spells had been fired, once again heading for Asta and Leopold that was laying on the ground unable to move from the previous attack. "NO!"
