Nezetta's PoV

"You seem unfazed that the anti-magic kid could die any moment." Raia says.

"He'll manage. He can't even kill himself if he tries." I shrugged. "So, do we have a deal?"

"I can't fight in my condition."

"I'm trying to ask permission for Licht—Patry—whoever it is Asta's trying to bring back." I threw a thumb over my shoulder to point at Asta and Patry still enveloped in darkness. "And maybe, after all this, we can do something with elves coming back in this world. It would be nice if we can gain back your old home, don't you think?"

"You're thinking too far ahead of the future, lady."

"Hmm? What's so bad about that?"

"He means you should focus on the devil first, imbecile." Nozel says behind me.

"Yami and two elves are currently fighting him." I tilted my head up, sensing the powerful and familiar mana from them. From what I've been feeling earlier, Dark Magic is a good counter to the devil's magic. "I'm guessing the other one is the real Licht. He's using magic that I can't identify from this world, so he must be using magic from another one. That's the problem. Satisfied?"

"At least show a little concern, Nezetta." Yuno sighed, placing a hand on my shoulder. I jumped when I felt it, eyes widening like saucers. "And other world magic? How are we gonna beat that?"

"Let me get back at you in at least ten minutes. I'll give you an answer by then."

"She seems to not care if we all die or not." Raia hums, grinning amusingly at me.

I clicked my tongue out and looked back at Asta and Patry. He successfully brought the elf back to his senses, his skin turning to a pale skin tone once again. However, his other eye was left black.

Something from above suddenly began to wiggle down towards us. It was purple and icky, making me cringe in disgust at the sight. That must be the foreign magic I've been sensing since the fight above began.

"That evil magic is heading our way!" Patry exclaims.

"What in the world is that?!"

Licht, Yuno, and Nozel immediately launched themselves up to attack the goo, but their magic had no damage to it whatsoever. As I suspected, magic from this world has no effect on foreign magic.

We need to either be influenced by it or have magic just like it. This is going to be trickier than I thought.

Asta suddenly pushes Raia and Mimosa away when the goo was about to hit them. It instead fell upon his figure and swallowed him whole.

"Asta!"

Anti-magic.

If Asta survives that, then I have my answer.

I stand from the scythe and picked it up from the ground, looking at the black substance that was flowing inside the blade. Maybe this thing has a chance against it too.

Asta, as I hoped, emerged from the goo while slashing around with his sword. He looked completely unharmed by the substance, confirming my theory.

"I thought I was a goner!" Screamed the magicless kid.

Mimosa uses her flower guidepost to show a layout of the Shadow Palace.

"This is...as we thought, there's an even more eerie magic from above. At this rate, the others below will be in danger too." She says.
