Spirit Knight Vs. Beast

Hikaru POV

I glance back to see Asta and another boy check up on Magna and Luck.

I return my attention to the beast in front of me. I narrow my eyes and see that the combo spell that the two released had no effect or any scratch on him.

"Now appetizer, Do try to make this worth the fight. I'm Veltos, the third eye of despair." I stare at him and grip onto my two swords.

"Well Veltos. Let's fight shall we!" I state and step forward sprinting in Velto's direction leaving a gust of air bellowing behind me.

"Hahaha! I like you! Interesting!" he yells back. Veltos puts his arm up deflecting my blow on him. I grind my teeth and push harder using both of my swords on his arms and he smirks at me.

He pushes his arms forward sending me back, he then rushes at me with both hands as claws. "Let's have you face despair and wallow as I crush those fellows in the back!"

I grit my teeth and let out a breath of air. "I won't let you!" I block his attack and we clash over and over again. Deflecting attacks, defending and running throughout the underwater room.

Meanwhile, as the fight goes on Asta and the other boy watches. Their eyes and mouths wide open watching as the two figures are seen as flashing figures that are quickly bouncing and running across the room followed by clashes and light.

"Wow.....I need to do something....anything!!!" Asta shouts in frustration as he watches the battle he becomes more and more anxious and frustrated that he can't do anything. He looks over at his friends, seeing them injured and that they had no scratch on Veltos.

He closes his fist and tightens them while looking back at the fight. He mumbles "What can I do to help?! What would Captain or Hikaru-senpai do?....I need to help and not be useless!"

Kiato the other boy from the underwater sea temple that arrived with Asta watches the battle with awe. 'Wow, that power....that speed! That's unlike any form or magic I've ever seen. That lady....she is able to keep up with that beast and a great power is being used. Not just wind but water.' he thinks.

Kiato looks over at Asta to see him knit his eyebrows with frustration and mumble his worries and frustration out. Kiato places his hand on Asta's shoulder and Asta looks up at him. "I'm sure we can do something."

Asta smiles back gratefully at what Kiato says. "Yes!" The two boys look back at the fight in front of them and look for an opportunity to step in. Asta takes out his grimoire and pulls out his anti sword.

While Kiato holds onto his sword tighter and takes out his grimoire.

Back to the fight.

I clash my water sword from above onto Velto's arms and sending him back with me using more strength to send him down. With my other sword I swing it quickly onto his side.

His eyes caught on quickly seeing my sword but was too slow to escape my attack fully. This attacks sends him into the wall making a crater.

I huff out and pant. I continue to look at the area where I sent him and my grimoire flips open to a new page. My eyes widen a bit. 'This spell. I'll use this as a last resort'

Soon enough a blast of air comes and Velto's comes flying at me. "You should pay attention! DId you think you defeated me!!" He yells while laughing and I grin back.

"Sadly no! But I would like to finish this!" I yell back blunting the attack and sends us both back. We stand for a while looking at each other.

A minute seems to past as the two boys sweatdrop from their spots. Veltos smirks at me and bolts in my direction.

"Water spirit magic: Trident's spear!" I block his attack with one my my swords and we push against each other and my huge trident spear forms above us and comes crashing down.

Dust and smoke arises and I hop back before the attack came down while I had my other sword stab his foot down keeping him in place.

As the dust begins to clear a sword is chucked at me and slightly grazes my face as I move my head left. I huff and grab my sword that was chucked.

I stare straight and see him there with a bloodied foot and a cut coming down on his front spilling some blood. The cut looks somewhat deep but not that deep where it's fatal. My brow twitches 'He managed to escape and black most of the attack.'

I watch his expression and see him irked and looks at me dead in the eyes. "You..." He looks at me enraged. "You are the strongest I've faced so far. But that's too bad. I'm going to cut you down in return for this." he says while tracing his cut that is bleeding.

He smiles evilly at me and I continue to pant. 'I still have that one spell from earlier. I need time for that though...' I look over at Asta and move my hand behind my back making a signal. I glance back and see his eyes widen.

I make a signal motioning him to come and fight with me. He nods his head.

With that Velto's walks forward slowly. "You are far stronger than those insects over there. WHo have failed and I gave them a chance to prove themselves. But after this they shall meet their despair along with you watching their death while your barely hanging on." He says.

He casts a spell on his hand and runs towards me.

Asta takes this chance to stop his inches away from my position. "Ah. The puny anti magic sword brat. So we meet again. This is a stroke of luck. Since your here, I can repay you for all the pain that you caused Licht. You'll wind up much like these insects here. at my feet."

Asta then pulls out his other sword. "We're not insects. Their my superiors!" he yells and slashes Veltos across the chest, leaving a scratch on his chest next to the cut that I gave him.

"Listen those two in the back, their jobs were to take you down. So I will take on that role and fight along side Hikaru-senpai!" Asta states and I nod my head at him watching Veltos.

"So this is what it feels like with that Anti magic sword of yours. To be honest if it was anybody else than it would have sliced them in two. But still it holds no true damage unlike that lady over there." Veltos says while looking at me with a grin. "But I do say. You accomplished more than those two over there with the power move."

"Well this is just the beginning! We will defeat you! Now tell me about those magic stones that you people want so bad! That's right! We know what you are after!" Asta says while pointing his sword at Veltos. I examine Veltos to see what he says. 'Julius would want this information!' I think to myself. 'But he won't give it so easily unless he was a fool.'

"I don't have to tell you anything runt. Your just garbage, a piece of trash that is unloved by mana." Veltos comments back.

"So I'm just garbage huh." Asta says.

"So come on take another swipe at me. I'll take you and that lady over there." Veltos says taking a stance.

Kiato POV

Kiato whispers "This monster even took out dad..." While he looks around. He sweatdrops 'His power is unlike what I've ever seen before. It's like he's constantly surrounded by them!' He thinks and glances over to the other magic knight who is ready to fight yet again.

'That lady. She is still strong and moving. She managed to keep up with this monster and was able to do quite the damage compared to Asta and the other two magic knights. Her mana is strong and is still quite large but it's not as much as the beast man. She has this power....that even I am confused with...It's not just water and wind that I sense from her. But much more! It's like she is rather surrounded by spirits instead of beasts!' I think while observing the mana around the female knight in her wind and water armor.

Veltos continues "I'll more than enough time to find the magic stone and masacre ever last one of you. That goes for the people outside too. I can only hope that such pitiful creatures will be quite amusing to destroy."

I grit my teeth and speak up "My family lives here! My friends live here. I love them all and I won't I won't let you kill them!" I unsheath my sword and run towards the beast.

"Ready Kiato!" Asta yells. I nod my head "Yeah!" We both charge forward at the beast.

Both Asta and I charge and hit him with our swords only to be deflected and pushed back.

Hikaru POV

I watch closely as the two boys one being Asta and the other who I assume from what I hard being a underwater mage named 'Kiato'. They were pushed back after their attacks which did nothing.

Veltos rambles on to them focusing on them and I take this chance to strike. I push forward using my wind "I'm afraid that you'll still be facing me as well!" I shout as I hit him with my blades.

The two boys behind me yell "That's right! We'll do anything to take you down!!" They both charge forward while I keep Veltos accuopied with my swords and I use some of my wind magic to tie down his ankles to keep him in place.

"Wind Spirit magic: Binding chains." I whisper out. Asta comes from the side and hits Veltos while Kiato comes from behind to strike.

Vanessa POV

'Wow, you can feel the magic and mana from here. It's like buning flames, it's quite intense.' I thinks to myself. 'This is no time to be messing around. It's time to get serious.' Yami's words play through my head and I sweatdrop.

'Well I guess you really were serious captain. Well I guess it's time to put away the wine.' While a portal opens up with an eye of the midnight sun entering.

"Aye aye captain I guess this is business."

I turn around slightly to see my opponent. 'Well I guess it's time to fight yet again huh.'

Finral POV

'This is getting worse by the second! If I run into that monster and fight him then he'll kill me! But if I go and hide somewhere like I want to do then Yami will kill me!' I rant in my head going through a mid life crisis.

"What do I dooo!!!" yell out loud holding onto my head.

3rd Person

With Charmy still under a magic spell she still sleeps on the shore. She snores and sleeps away during this critical time.

Gauche tiches as he walks down the halls of the underwater temple. "God dammit, I wanted to get this over quickly so I could go see Marie. This delay is absolutely unacceptable."

An eye of the midnight sun member appears in front of Gauche with his chain magic. "HAhah. Hello there magic knight. Your in for it now. Unfortunately you're going to be pitied by the eye of the midnight sun top change mage. And I'll make sure that you never see her again." the enemy states.

Making Gauche irritated and casts a spell "Reflect Refrain" he casts only for it to fail. The fight continues with Gauche creating a double of himself and using reflect refrain for it to be useless and have it's user protected by the chains.

The chains were bigger now and the chain balls coming after him and leaving him no choice but to evade and run.

A crab soon pulls on Gauche's pants to be Gray. They both appear having now two Gauches. They soon defeat the eye of the midnight sun.

Gray leads Gauche to Charmy. As soon as they walk towards Charmy they step on a spell having them get caught up in vines. Unable to move and draining their magic. Another Eye of the midnight sun appears yet again.

"Well lucky me for the price of one." he says. "Please stop and let us goo!" Gray says while still looking like Gauche.

"I'll just wait until you are all drained of power then you'll be all mine." The enemy states while taking off his hood and showing his face.

"Hey forehead wake up!" Gauche yells towards Charmy. Meanwhile Charmy continues to sleep while mumbling stuff and rubbing her belly.

"No let us go! Please stop! I don't want to die!" Gray yells and struggles with the vines. Gauche looks over and sweatdrops.

"You guys don't stand a chance. I've alredy drained more than half of your magic power." the eye of the midnight sun menber states.

Gauche looks up "Well, your pretty strong you old man." he retorts and this irks the enemy causing him to reply with "For your information I'm only 20."

"There's no time to hesitate. Let's do this!" Gauche tells Gray and looks at him both nodding their heads for their plan.

"Okay here goes!" Gray says and casts a magic spell that goes behind the mage and transforms the boulder behind them into a piece of meat.

"Hey dome head! Wake up! Somebody's trying to steal your dinner! What are you going to do about it!" Gauche yells to Charmy for which her snore bubble pops and a light illuminates behind the enemy.

"You dare! You step away from the food." Charmy says. "Cotton creation magic: Strike of the sleeping sheep!" Which a giant sheep appears behind her.

"Strike one!" The sheep's fist comes down on the enemy. "Strike two!" The mage goes flying and "Your out!" The mage gets punched into the wall.

The enemy was defeated and Charmy now awake.

Gauche exchanges some words with Gray while Charmy complains about the boulder being a fake. Soon Gray's magic is depleted and she is left to be shown in her true form showing not a big round and smoke coming out of the mouth guy. But rather a small shy girl who has blue short hair.

Hikaru POV

Asta and Kiato charge forward landing a hit on Veltos but no damage. Veltos smirks and escapes my chains and pushes all three of us back, sending us sliding on the ground. The two boys get up faster and react a bit quicker than I did charging once more again sending Veltos back a little.

Only to be punched in the face with Veltos' fists that were coated in mana. My eyes widen as they fly. "Earth spirit magic: Cradle of Spring!" I cast out and catch the two bracing them from the impact.

"An attack like that is child's play. You'll have to do much better!" Veltos says as the dust clouds emerge and Asta's voice "Not yet!"

"looking at you disgusts me and you are not even worthy to touch! You don't even have so much of a sliver of hope and you know why." Veltos says while narrowing his eyes at Asta.

I see and watch this confrontation as I get back up into a stance seeing Asta with a slight head injury causing him to bleed a little. The injury itself isn't so bad but he is panting and visibly getting tired.

Soon Veltos continues to talk which I block out seeing him lift up a huge boulder from the ground sending it Asta's way. My eyes widen 'He's injured and tired!' I tell myself. "Asta move!" I yell at him snapping him out of a trance. With the boulder broken up into pieces Veltos comes and hits Asta causing small cuts to appear.

Asta charges forward and gets hit in the arm causing a bruise to form. I cast and use my wind magic to hurridly send my way and block any attack or preventing Asta from getting any more hurt. I shove my body against Velto's hard body causing Veltos to not grab or make a move on Asta but rather me.

He grabs my neck and looks at me condescending. "Leave him alone." I choke out. He smirks "No, you'll have to wait your turn." He throws me across the room but before I could fly away and grab Asta's shirt tugging him away from Veltos.

Velto's watches this and starts walking in our direction once I hit the wall and cough out blood.

"You are pathetic and you disgust me. Using objects that you shouldn't even be worth you using or holding. You don't know when to give up and you think that if you hang on long enough you will find some way of turning the fight in your favor. So you persist in your reckless attacks. While in reality you are causing that lady magic knight to cover you and take your blows. And in hope of defeating me you leave yourself open to mortal wounds." Veltos tells Asta.

He now stands right in front of us and grabs Asta away from me and holds his arm holding it tight. I lift my hand up in attempt to grab him back only to be stepped on by Veltos crushing me under his strength and weight.

I cough up more blood and wheeze. "A-Asta." I say trying to push Veltos' leg off me. 'Ugh I just need to get him off! I still have magic! I still have power! Don't let him hurt or take anyone away from you! Get up!' I yell to myself.

"It makes me sick to see the demon slayer sword and demon dweller sword in your hands of undeserving filth like you!"

"So what that won't change anything." Asta says.

"You and your worthless friends never had the chance of defeating me!" Veltos says with a smile on his face crushing Asta's arm making him grunt and scream. Asta screams and howls but then chomps onto Veltos' arm.

Causing Veltos' to stop and look at him weirdly. Asta says something but Veltos doesn't understand causing him to question "What?" with a raised eyebrow.

A voice that projects magic blasts through the wall and separates Asta away from Veltos and moving his foot off of me enough so where I could escape.

I breath in air and pant. "Hear I thought animals were supposed to have good hearing?" I look over at this voice to see Noelle with another girl who is in an underwater temple outfit.

"What he said was 'No one would be able to protect anybody if all I did was give up!'" the two girls yell. I smirk at that comment.

'Well let's finally go all out shall we? I'll be using that now.'
