anti magic and water magic (On Hold)

chapter 36: I trust you

The four black bulls faced off against Veto while Noelle stood at the sidelines to protect the people who were unconscious after already fighting against him, "Alright lets go" said Asta looking determined before rushing forward.

"Mythical beast magic, flame" Veto said with his magic power surrounding him as another beast head formed around him. The beast head blasted flames at the running Asta who jumped out of the way. The flames hit something making light shine, Veto looked annoyed as another spacial magic portal appeared next to him.

He swiped his own attack away from him again as the purple flames shot out of the spacial postal. In the air Asta jumped into another spacial magic portal and shot out of another one behind Veto who swiped his right magic enhanced arm at him.

Asta was moved out of the way by Vanessas threads and Asta went through another spacial magic portal, "That witch used her thread to re direct him, the spacial mage is sending my long range attacks right back at me and hes using his portals with incredible accuracy" Veto thought before smirking as he covered his arms in magic power, "In that case I will just have to hit you from close range" he said running after Asta.

Asta looked back at Veto just as he was about to strike him, he was then pulled into another portal when Veto slammed his right fist into the ground making the debris shoot up, "You may be able to dodge, but the mana and your Aura give you away" Veto said just as another portal appeared next to him.

He slammed his fist into it but ended up hitting some of the debris he hit earlier, then another portal appeared in front of him and this time Asta shot out swinging his sword at Veto and cutting into his right cheek.

"This is my weapon and so I'm going to use it to defeat you" said Asta looking determined after landing a hit.

"You damn scurrying insect" said Veto looking angry as a big Bear claw appeared behind Asta. Vanessa however used her threads to pull him back to where she was standing next to Finral.

"That was close, one hit from this guy and your finished" said Vanessa as Asta stood back up.

Veto stared at his wound as it tried to heal, "Just as I thought, I cant heal this wound with magic, did he manage to sever my flow of magic to stop me from healing myself on that spot" thought Veto looking annoyed, "Don't get ahead of yourselves, because the true fun starts now" he said covering both of his arms and his legs in magic power before he started running towards them.

"Vanessa, Finral" said Asta getting his squad mates attention.

"Right" the two of them said and Asta started running towards Veto while Charlotte sent her thorns. Asta started dodging Vetos attacks with the help of Vanessas strings and Firnals portals. When the beast magic user would swipe at him Vanessa would change Astas direction and into another of Finrals portals. Veto swiped away one Charlottes thorn whips away and that's when's Asta flew out of a portal.

"Ahhh" he said cutting into the beast mans right leg making him look annoyed as the anti magic user flew into another portal and their little swipe and dodge game continued as multiple spacial portals surrounded Veto.

"Who knew Vanessa and Firnal had this much magic power" thought Noelle looking surprised as she watched the two of them work together, "And I didn't think Rosa would turn out to be the captain of the blue Rose knights, shes amazing".

Outside the underwater temple the people cheered as it looked like the black bulls now had the upper hand against Veto, "They're doing it, they're putting up a fight against that monster" some of the people said.

Back in the lounge room the temple priest was cheering the black bulls as well, "That's the way to go let him have it, the best offense is a good defense" he said but despite his words his mind flashed to his son and grandchildren, "Whenever I think about what happened to them I cant help but wonder if they'll be able to pull it off".
