Nezetta's PoV

When we thought it was all over, we were suddenly slapped to the face by reality itself. Dante's body began regenerating in a way that is so disgusting, I had to look away from him. I quickly stood and held my scythe in front of me in a defensive stance.

His demonic figure suddenly smirks at us, his entire figure growing bigger than the mountains. "Thank you, Yami Sukehiro." He smirks.

"My innate magic is body magic. The devil's power explosively boosts my ability to regenerate. You see, I won't die or age or deteriorate!"

"That's just a foul." I said sourly. "Any mage relying on regeneration magic just proves that they're too weak to keep themselves from dying the first time."

Of course, it isn't.

It's just my way of riling him up to dull his senses. I cannot deny that this man in front of us is far stronger than anyone we've ever faced. We need to be cautious.

"Why, you—!"

I looked at Asta. We might really need his anti-magic for this one. We need to stop that regeneration magic somehow, or none of us here will come out alive. Dante is not human anymore. He was radiating the same feel of mana as the devil we once fought back in the Shadow Palace. The only difference is that this guy is much stronger.

The devil possessing him is very strong.

Turning back to the devil, I said, "I'd say I keep winning with how many times we can kill you. You're just another scumbag tainting this world's ground. That devil possessing you can go back to his own realm and keep destroying his own there."

Dante launched an attack towards Yami, in hopes of pissing me off more. He was successful, I have to admit. Before the attack could hit him, I was immediately in front of Yami and blocked it with my scythe. It grew bigger in size the same time my armor strengthened itself more. "I'm not about to let you bring more chaos in this problematic world when I'm trying my best to fix it here."

"That's what happens, little girl. You can't do anything. The world is unfair." He laughs.

"Is it?" I mocked his laugh. "Or is it the creatures inhabiting it that makes it unfair? The world never did anything. You did."

"We can't win this one without you, Asta!" Yami yells, smirking slyly.

The said male's figure instantly appeared between us when I jumped back, holding his sword with both hands as his Black Form appeared once again. He was already past his limit before, and I was sure that even Heaven's Blessing could only heal so much from his major injuries. His will is incomparable. That is what pushed him so far.

Dante suddenly cackled menacingly and gazed down at us from his height. This bastard really is playing unfair. "Entertain me more! I need more of it!"

"Yami, you and Asta will have more chances of dealing damage to that monster." I said. "I'll support the two of you and keep you from getting hit by his magic. I'm counting on you two."

"A first that you're going on the defensive, Zetta. It seems like we need to be serious too." Yami laughs.

"Seems so." I casted five strings of Spider Web on each of their backs and matched Dante's glare at us. "Let's go."
