Gio steps forward, eyes narrowed.
"Get out of here. This is our territory now."
Vetto grins, his three eyes glowing menacingly.
"I don't think so. We came for the magic stone, and we'll take it—whether you like it or not."
Vetto flicks his hand, releasing an overwhelming pressure. With a mere thought, a wave of magic energy sends Gio crashing into the wall.
"Fire Magic: Fireball!"
Magna hurls a blazing sphere of flame at Vetto. But Vetto is too fast, sidestepping and landing a crushing blow to Magna's stomach.
"Dammit...We're not done yet."
Luck, grinning, immediately charges in.
"I've got this! Lightning Magic: Thunder Claw!"
Luck summons a jagged, powerful bolt of lightning that shoots from his hand. But Vetto dodges and counters with a devastating swipe of his claws, sending Luck tumbling backward. Xander ran into the room to see Magna and Luck passed out against the wall,
"HEY! UGLY!"
Vetto growled and looked at him,
"Who you calling ugly?"
Xander smirked and summoned his Grimoire back to his hands,
"You! Card Magic: Jack of All Trades!"
As soon as his armor was on, Xander immediately ran over to cover Magna and Luck.
"Stay down, you two. I'll handle this."
Without missing a beat, Xander subtly starts spreading out his cards across the battlefield, setting traps and preparing his next move. He winks at Vetto, not breaking eye contact.
"Card Magic: Card Destruction!"
Xander's cards burst in explosions heading toward Vetto, creating a fiery barrage that temporarily disrupts him. Vetto shrugs off the explosion with a chilling laugh.
"You're wasting your time!"
Vetto's sinister presence looms over the battlefield as he releases more of his magic. Yami, locked in a barrier with Gifso, shouts at the Magic Knights.
"Stop messing around! Stay focused and hit him where it hurts!"
Xander's smirk falters momentarily as he watches Vetto's overwhelming power. Xander's armor shatters from the sheer force of Vetto's attack. He staggers back, gasping for breath, before the pressure of Vetto's overwhelming magic sends him crashing to the ground. His cards scatter across the battlefield, unable to offer him any protection. Magna reaches out to him,
"Xander! Get up, man..."
Vetto's eerie laughter fills the room as he turns toward the fallen Xander, his claws crackling with power.
"Pathetic. Let's finish this."
With a brutal swipe of his claws, Vetto raises his hand, ready to deal the final blow to Xander, Magna, and Luck. Just as he prepares to strike, a sudden burst of movement catches his attention. Asta bursts into the room, his Anti-Magic sword gleaming in his hand.
"Get away from them, Vetto!"
He rushes forward with blazing determination. Vetto stops mid-motion, a twisted grin spreading across his face.
"Ah, the little brat who hurt Licht. I've been waiting for this."
With a roar, Vetto swings at Asta, but the young boy intercepts the attack, the clash of magic and steel ringing out as the two powers meet.
