anti magic and water magic (On Hold)

chapter 37: you lose despair

"AHHHH" Veto screamed as Asta finished pushing his sword the rest of the way through the beast mans stomach.

There was silence for a moment before Vanessa was the first one to speak up, "He got him, way to go kiddo" she said smiling.

"We did it, we won" said Noelle smiling with relief until Veto smirked with his magic power covering his arms and Astas arms being trapped in it.

Asta looked in pain as a bone broke in his left arm, making him scream in pain, "You fool, did you really think you landed a hit on me, I let you hit me so I could take away your weapon" he said as Asta continued to scream in pain as Vetos arms were still covered in magic power.

"This cant be real" said Finral looking shocked like the rest of the black bulls in the room.

"How is he still able top use magic with that wound" said Charlotte staring at the scene with an annoyed look on her face as she thought, "This isn't like any magic ive ever seen before".

"Please no, LET HIM GO" Noelle screamed as she continued to watch Asta scream in pain.

"Yes that's what I wanted to hear, when all hope is lost you will know nothing but despair" said Veto smirking down at Asta as his hair floated in the air.

"Ahhh" Asta screamed still trying hold on to his sword.

"Asta" said Yami watching the scene back in the temples lounge.

"Yes, despair, despair, despair" Veto chanted as he looked down at Asta with mad smile on his face while the anti magic user continued to scream. The people watching from outside the temple watched with looks of fear on their faces as Veto continued to shout despair.

Asta then had let go of his sword as he fell back onto his knees, "Yes its all over now" said Veto smirking.

"No it cant be over" said Asta looking down at the ground before he looked back up at Veto with determined look on his face, "I'm not giving up" he said before thinking, "I still have one sword left".

"That's the spirit Kiddo" said Vanessa as she moved her strings and pulled Asta away as Veto brought his magic enhanced arms down. The beast magic user jumped into the air as Finral created a portal behind Asta and he went through it before Veto could attack him.

Veto was then hit with a Reflect refrain from Gauche that sent him back down to the ground, "That's it, all that magic power we had left" said Charmy as Asta appeared out of a portal in front Vanessa and Finral.

"Hey you doing alright Asta" Firnal asked with a worried look on his face?

"Yeah I'm a little banged up, but I can still fight" Asta said with a smile on his face.

"This kid is really something" thought Vanessa with a smile on her face as she moved her strings to hold up Astas arms, "This kid was born without any magic in a world where magic is basically everything, maybe it was faith that wanted him this way" she thought as Asta stood up ready for battle, "This kid is meant for great things and as his squad mates we have to be there to help him when he needs it".

"Alright Asta I made a sling for that broken arm of yours" said Vanessa before looking at Finral who had tears coming out of his eyes from what was happening, "You ready to go Finral" she said.

When Finral heard her he wiped the tears from his eyes looking determined, "Alright lets go" he said as Asta picked up his big anti magic sword from the ground.

"Why don't you humans just give up already, just like the rest" said Veto looking annoyed.

"Your wrong, every single person that's gone up against you never gave up or gave in to despair" said Asta as he pointed his sword forward.
