Narrator: Threatened by a ruthless demon, humanity was on the brink of destruction. All seemed lost until a lone mage stepped forward and took up the fight. After his triumph, he was hailed as the Wizard King, and his story became legend.

Fana had at long last been expunged of her association with The Eye of the Midnight Sun after having been defeated by the Black Bulls and being reunited with her longtime friend, Mars. As she continued to recount the trials and tribulations of what she went through after seemingly being killed by Mars, the happy moment had been cut short with the arrival of a newly awakened and rampaging Ladros.

Ladros: MILLION LASERS!

In one tremendous swoop, the Black Bulls as well as Mars were knocked out with Asta serving as the last bastion of defense. After some harsh teasing on his end before stating his view on friends.

Ladros: Friends eh? There's no such things as friends! Only stepping stones and obstacles, you wanna know the two types of people in this world, there's people who use and those people who wind up getting used. I made it as far as I have in my life because I used the necessary people that you'd deemed to be my friends.

This struck a nerve within the non-magic using Asta as he took the fight to Ladros the Shining General, but just as it seemed he had him defeated, Ladros in his desperation forced the now placated Fana to draw out Salamander by threatening Mars's life. And when was all said and done, a horrifying image presented itself. Ladros had absorbed Salamander all for himself and began to viciously plant Asta with fireball after fireball. That is when the Queen of Witches had finally decided to intervene in the fight....

Witch Queen: My, my. How imperfect, this wasn't in my future looks..... Since he's able to wield that sword and its counterpart, I might have assumed he had a member of that bloodline but it seems I might have been wrong. Why don't we really show them all, what you're really made of, hm?

THUMP! THUMP!

Ladros: Tell me tough guy...... How many more of these magic blasts do you think your body can take before you die? One? Three? Seven? Eleven?! Hm?

THUMP! THUMP!

Slowly but surely Ladros was getting a response but not with words.... black and red began to pour out of Asta as his eyes were much Midnight Sun Fana's.... RED. He fought against the registered pain in his body as he gripped the Demon-Slayer Sword..... breathing raggedly with the looks of.... a killer.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Asta continues to struggles against the pain his body was registering following the relentless onslaught of fireballs he had just taken to the soul as he began to foam at the mouth angrily, staring down his opponent in Ladros. In reality however, Asta found himself on the brink in his own body near death.

Asta: What- what is this place? Where exactly am I? Wait, what happened to them? Noelle! Tyrus! Vanessa! Finral! Don't tell me I've died?

CAW! CAW! CAW! CAW! CAW!

Asta: No it's not that.... can't be! I still haven't gotten to marry Sister Lily or beat Ty and Yuno to become the Wizard King.

He flies through visages of the Sister, as well as his brotherly rivals.....

Asta: Come on.... don't fail me now body.

He closes his eyes ready to accept his death when a guttural voice rings loudly in his ears.

Devil: HEY, YOU! GOOD TO SEE YA, WHOA. DON'T YOU DIE ON ME YET.

Asta: Uh... GAHHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE?!

Devil: Damn, I can't believe you'd say that to me. That hurt my poor wittle feelings, kid. I've been your closest companion for a while now.

Asta: No offense, but I'm pretty sure I'd remember a guy like you, pal!

Devil: Meh, it makes no difference to me. I got a ticket to manifest in the physical world and I'm ready to unleash on someone's ass. YOUR BODY BELONGS TO ME, LITTLE MAN.

Asta: HEY LET ME GO! TELL ME WHAT'S GOIN' ON RIGHT NOW!

Devil: Ha! You should be I'm actually trying to save your friends out there. It is a pretty sweet deal for you, ya know! I MEAN, REALLY! The clown out there is mocking you, and you want to win this right?! Then all you have to do is leave the fighting to me.... you'll be still aware.... in a sense.

Asta: You shut up! I'll find my own way to win!

Devil: Quit yer' naggin and let me take control of your mind already, you big baby! Just relax and let go of your consciousness. It won't be but for a second or two. A half-pint like yourself doesn't stand a single shot in this squabble, not without any help.

Asta: NOT..... UP.... TO YOU NOW IS IT?! You know better yet, it's actually perfect you're positioned over my head like that! CAUSE IF YOU'RE ALL THE WAY UP THERE, I CAN JUST USE YOU TO CLIMB ALL THE WAY TO MY GOALS!

Devil: HAHAHA, I like your bravado.... but some places aren't meant to be climbed upon. Just give up.

Revchi: This world wasn't built for poor, magic-less fools like yourself. You might as well give it up all now. I wouldn't blame you one bit, loser. You worthless little runt!

After that, everything happened in a blur. A series of burning images raced through Asta's heart and mind as red and black consumed his arm, pain rattling his body with sensation but gritting his teeth in his Asta-like fashion... he continues to fight.

Asta: GIVE UP? THERE WAS A TIME IN MY LIFE WHERE I WOULD HAVE CONSIDERED GIVING UP, BUT THAT'S ALL BEHIND ME NOW, DAMNIT!

They scream in unified yet unholy pain as they meld their strengths and weakenesses into one being. Meanwhile in the waking world, everyone, Dominante and Mariella having rejoined the group after healing some lost witches huddle around a wounded Tyrus as Noelle cradles his head.

Finral: Is he-

Noelle: No... his heart is still beating but he got hit pretty bad protecting me. Tyrus hasn't woken up yet.

Vanessa: Poor kiddo.

Fanzell: Keep fighting kid, you can't die on us-

BOOM! CRACK! HISS!

Everyone turns around to a massive energy signature in the form of a massive black ball just now evaporating and coming out of it was an awakened and very angry yet determined Asta ready to spring back into action to put the beating of a lifetime on Ladros. His appearance is much different too, half of body is blackened with a red eye in contrast to his usual emerald green, an artificial wing also protruding out of his back.

Asta: MY MAGIC IS NEVER GIVING UP!

Mariella: Is that....

Noelle: IT'S ASTA!

Ladros: How.... how is he back on his feet so quickly. He was near death when I last left him laying!

The leaves of a clover are said to each contain one thing.... In the first three dwell integrity, hope and love. The fourth leaf itself is given over to good luck. And in the legendary and often fabled fifth leaf..... there lives the devil!

Noelle: This feeling coming from Asta... it's not magic. It's like pure evil and malice. What's gotten into him?

Fanzell: I don't know but something isn't clearly right... I don't think I've ever seen him this determined and that's saying a lot.

Ladros: HAHAHA! Nice, so you didn't actually decide to keel over on me? GOOD! AND A BIG, DRAMATIC TRANSFORMATION JUST LIKE ME? Do you honestly expect me to be moved by something like that?

With one blast and it being deflected, the fight was back on between Shining General and Black Bull.

Ladros: YOU'RE MINE!

They trade shots back and forth, but it's clear Asta had the advantage as he parried each of Ladros's moves even going as far as to knick him with a rogue blast, slicing his cheek open.

Ladros: RAHHHHHHHHH, YOU'RE DEAD KID!

They take to the skies once more as Ladros gives pursuit of his prey yet again.

Ladros: I see you've gotten a lot quicker and faster on your feet now! BUT HOW LONG CAN THIS NEW TRICK OF YOURS HOLD OUT FOR?!

He fires another massive blast but yet again Asta, picking up on it destroys it through and through as he screams guturally as he chucks the Demon Slayer Sword at Ladros.

Ladros: WHOA, did you really think I was going to fall for that twice. FIND A NEW STRATEGY, YOU IDIOT, UGH!

He's silenced for the moment with a kick to the gut as he sees the milky white eyes of Asta.

Ladros: Oh fuck... this kid's not playing around. I need to step it up or I'm dead. How did he get so fucking strong?!

He then launches a series of desperate projectiles which Asta evades but just as he lined up the finishing blow....

Ladros: This next attack.... can't possibly miss.

He punches him.... or so he thought as Asta quite literally tanked it, grabbed him and then just threw him harshly to the cold, hard ground.

Ladros: YAHHHHHHHHHH!

BOOM!

Ladros: I LIKE THIS, ASTA! YES GIVE ME MORE KID!

They continue to fight like madmen as the real Asta's submerged in his mind somewhere like an endless ocean so to speak.

Asta: Where am I now? My body's... chilled to the bone like I'm floating in some freezing lake or ocean. Yet my mind, it feels ever so clear. And my physical strength is dripping, practically overflowing!

In real time, he continues his life or death vicious battle with Ladros as clears right through his gut.

Ladros: HKKKK! DAMN YOU!

All the while, a certain monarch which with locked in interest. Considering this was her power she had lent Asta.

Witch Queen: Interesting, I had thought for certain he would fallen to unconsciousness sooner rather than later, and yet. He's still maintaining control. Not only does the Demon Slayer Sword conduct Anti-Magic energy in droves, it too absorbs the magic of any and all who dare be foolish enough touch it. Therefore, no one should be able to wield this blade, yet you young Asta.... you were born into this world without so much as a single drop of magic...... and its power courses through you. You have also been dictating its ebb and flows from the beginning without you even realizing it. When I used my blood to heal you and your brother, it increased the rate of that power's movement and speed. And in doing so, I removed any and all limitations intentionally so that the sword's capabilities were endless and bountiful. AND NOW YOUR MAGIC WILL BURST FORTH IN A MASSIVE TIDAL WAVE AND YOU SHALL BECOME THE VESSEL FOR THIS TORRENT OF ANTI-MAGIC!

Ladros, however wasn't sharing the celebratory mood or analysis as the Queen of Witches.... he was downright pissing himself. Nothing he hit Asta with was having a lasting effect on him. He had been running away after being wounded in his torso but every time he had created meaningful distance... Asta was always there on his headtop. They romped and roamed through the forest as the Shining General continued to seperate himself by throwing anything he could at Asta and yet. Even after firing a massive inferno blast that incinerated a chunk of the Forest of Witches, Asta remained unharmed as he continued to wayleigh Ladros with strike after strike...

Ladros: HAAAAAA!

Asta: HM! RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Ladros: What... the.... fuck... ARE YOU?! AND WHY WON'T YOU JUST STAY DOWN?!

I might have assumed he had a member of that bloodline but it seems I might have been wrong. Why don't we really show them all, what you're really made of, hm?

Ladros: What is this awful feeling I'm experiencing? Is this.... true fear?!

Witch Queen: Due to your mutation, the mana didn't respond well with your body. Simply put, you're defective. Yet because of that defectiveness, you're able to wield that sword in your possession.

Ladros: HOW THE HELL IS HAPPENING?! YOU SHOULD BE BEGGING FOR MERCY, SOBBING AND KISSING MY BOOTS, HOPING I GIVE YOU A QUICK AND PAINLESS DEATH!

Witch Queen: You aren't anything special..... not in the slightest. And that is what makes you, young Asta, utterly extraordinary.

Ladros: Forget mercy.... I JUST WANT YOU DEAD! BEGONE PEASANT!

He summons a massive blood dragon, something that would've made the late Vetto blush as it guns its way towards Asta.

Dragon: ROOOOOOOOOAR!

Asta: GR......AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Witch Queen: Now that you are in this form.... all magic is powerless and beneath you. FINISH HIM.

KRSHHH. THROOOM. BOOOOOOOOM!

Ladros: DAMN YOU, IT CAN'T BE! MY MAGIC IT SHOULD HAVE MADE ME INVINCIBLE! GET BACK, JUST STAY AWAY FROM ME!

Asta: YOUR MAGIC? YOUR MAGIC?! IT WAS NEVER YOURS TO BEGIN WITH, YOU STOLE IT FROM FANA! AND I FIND IT REALLY FUNNY THAT YOU WANT TO CALL IT OFF BECAUSE YOU'RE ABOUT TO LOSE!

Witch Queen: It's no use. Your abundance of Anti-Magic will chase him down until he tires out and you quell his power.

Noelle watches from a distance as the light show is about to come to an end, taking a moment to stop from comforting Tyrus's prone head as Asta was about to put Ladros down for the count.

Noelle: A black shooting star, ascending to the sky?

Asta: IT'S OVER FOR YOU..... GIVE IT UP ALREADY, LADROS!

Ladros: NO, NO, NO, OH NOOOOO! IT'S NOT FAIR! I STEPPED ON SO MANY PEOPLE TO GET WHERE I'M AT NOW AND THIS IS THE REWARD I DESERVE?! NO I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT! I CANNOT LOSE TO YOU!

Asta: YOU ALWAYS KICKED YOUR FRIENDS DOWN FOR SUCCESS INSTEAD OF BRINGING THEM WITH YOU SO THEY CAN SHARE IN THE GLORY! BUT MY FRIENDS-

He gets images of Tyrus and Yuno. His Black Bull compatriots from Noelle, Luck and Captain Yami to even the Golden Dawn's Klaus and Mimosa.

Asta: MY FRIENDS ARE THE REASON I HAVE GOTTEN BETTER! STRONGER! BLACK METEORITE!

Ladros: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

With one slash, Ladros was defeated falling to the cold, hardened ground as Asta hit a dastardly and badass pose armed with the Demon Slayer sword in hand. As he got up from his gnarly gash, Ladros himself heard a cracking sound.... his magical diamond implant was shattered beyond repair.

Ladros: SHIT, SHIT! I'm completely out of magic now and I'm utterly defenseless. Why me.... why'd it happen to me of all people?! AND HERE OF ALL PLACES?! GUHHHHHA!

He coughs up an inordinate amount of blood

Ladros: I think I finally may have reached my limit.... I'm past it.

He collapses.

Fanzell: Goodbye.... Ladros.

Noelle remarks of her fellow rookies strength as she takes in Asta's new appearance, most notably the new black winged combination that's taken over his entire right side. She looks interchangably between him and Tyrus, who still has yet to wake up as she had since put him in his own mini Sea Dragon's Lair.

Noelle: Asta.... he's so much more intimidating and stronger than before. And the way he was fighting just now, it was far different than when all of us were taking on that lady from the Eye of the Midnight Sun. He was fighting like a completely different person. He looks.... way too terrifying now, maybe I should ease up on him from here on out.

She sweats profusely at the enormity of the situation as her fellow squadmates Finral and Vanessa can't even find the words nor can the trio of Diamond Kingdom fugitives.

Asta: You..... get the hell up.

Ladros: Just kill me already, I have no fight left in my body. I'm ready.

Asta: ......YOU MUST BE CRAZY IF YOU THINK I'M GONNA KILL YOU!

Ladros: Huh?

Asta: IT'S BETTER THAT I KEEP YOUR STUPID ASS ALIVE! SO YOU CAN ATONE AND HELP ALL THE PEOPLE YOU SEVERELY HURT HERE TODAY! AND THEN I'M GONNA MAKE YA APOLOGIZE TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM YOU IDIOT! NOW PATCH YOURSELF UP AND GET TO IT OR I'LL CHANGE MY MIND! YOU MAY BE ALL BLOODY AND GROSS LOOKIN' BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I HAVE TO SHOW YA ANY MERCY, YA DAMN CLOWN!

Ladros considers his words.... before echoing out one of the most painful laughs he could produce in that moment.

Asta: WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?! DO YOU THINK I'M A JOKE?!

Ladros: Shitttt.. I cannot catch a break to save my life. You're a tough kid, you know that? OOOOOH.

Asta: This is outta character, even for this nutcase.

Ladros: Maybe.... now that my magic stone's been obliterated. My head's starting to feel just a tad lighter. Aw, man.

He hears Asta blabbering but he thinks nothing but positive new things about the Black Bull rookie.

Ladros: A person like you is most definitely headed straight for the top, I can see it. That's for sure, makes me wonder if I've been going about this all wrong. If we had met sooner, maybe you and I could've made each other better too.

Fanzell: Thank you so much, Asta. For sparing his life.

Asta: I know you're not sleeping, get up and make with the redemption arc!

Noelle: Hm... maybe you two idiots.... are just the type of good luck I needed in my life. Asta and Tyrus. And I'm overthinking it, you're still you Asta.

The black fixture soon disappear around him.

Asta: Whoa.... I'm back to normal, that was crazy just now. What was all that black stuff on my body earlier? Felt like I was fighting some sort of dream and nightmare put together. But if it's anything like Ty or Yuno's, then damnit it's pretty awesome, I straight owned it, too! Is this what everyone else feels like when they use their magic full force.

CREAKKK...

Asta: OHHHHHHH GOD, my entire body is hurtin' again! AND IT FEELS LIKE MY INSIDES ARE ON FIRE, LIKE VOLCANO LEVEL FIRE! I'M GONNA DIE, CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME OUT PLEASE!

Noelle: HELP YOU?! I'M TENDING TO YOUR IDIOT BROTHER!

Fanzell: Look at us, Asta!

Asta: NOT YOU GUYS BEING IN BAD SHAPE, TOO!

He slaps Fana and Mars on their heads.

Asta: YOU TWO HAVE RECOVERY MAGIC, COME ON NOW! COME ON DON'T TELL ME YOU TWO ALREADY BIT THE DUST?!

SLAP!

Mars: Ughhh....

Fana: Why are you so loud?

Asta: Oh thank God, you're alive!

Fana: I hope I'm not too heavy....

Mars: Noooo... in fact, it's actually quite comforting.

Fana: Mars, stop it.

Asta: YOU ARE WAY DIFFERENT! ALRIGHT, IT MAY TAKE A LONG TIME BUT I GUESS THE ONLY THING FOR ME TO DO, IS TO CARRY YOU ALL TO SAFETY!

Witch Queen: That won't be necessary.

CAW! CAW! CAWWWWWWW!

Out of nowhere the storm of crows plummets down signifying the arrival of the Queen of Witches....

Asta: It's you. The Queen of Witches!

Vanessa: Mother?

Asta: We took care of the Eye of the Midnight Sun for ya and all those Diamond Kingdom soldiers for you. So we can call that even for you fixin' my arms, right?

Witch Queen: Hm... and you did it without me having to interfere in the slightest. You have my respect as imperfect as you may be.

Asta: Ah, it's no biggie. Hey while I have ya, Your Majesty. Do you think you could do me a favor and heal everyone else up...

She looks at him, perplexed as the intensity of their situations hangs largely with her.

Witch Queen: I see. But that is also unneccesary, one they call Asta.

Then, from her hand washed blood as it covered the entire battlefield.

Noelle: What is this- AHHHHHH!

Asta: NOELLE!

Vanessa: Noelle, hang in there kiddo- NOOOO!

Finral: IS THIS- ACKK!

Asta: VANESSA, FINRAL!

One by one, Dominante, Fanzell, Fana, Finral, Ladros, Mars, Mariella, Noelle were all strung up by crosses materialized by blood.

Witch Queen: Now... my Blood Creation Magic, Fresh Blood Execution Ground.

Fanzell: Her power is terrifying.... even moreso than when Ladros was absorbing everyone's magic and using it against them!

Asta: GUYS! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! YOU SHOW UP OUTTA NOWHERE AND THEN STRING UP ALL OF MY FRIENDS AND THEN DO THIS TO MY FRIENDS- GAH... AHHHHHHHHHHH! S-STOP IT, WHAT'RE YOU DOING... TO ME?!

He thrashes about violently as Vanessa herself witnesses firsthand what horrors her rookie is going through.

Vanessa: ASTTTAAA!

Noelle: What's happening to him?!

Witch Queen: Yes, my magic allows me to heal and destroy any and all curses placed onto an individual. But it also allows me to manipulate their blood as I see fit. Ever since I casted that healing spell on you, I had been awaiting the right moment to use you as I saw fit for you see I had total control over your blood as well.

Asta: HKKKK.... AGHHHHH GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! RAHHHHHHHH!

Witch Queen: I AM THE QUEEN HERE. Why should I lower myself to fulfilling the requests of an arrogant worm who thinks himself bold enough to order me around?

Asta's grimoire, though not of his own volition begins to open as the Demon Slayer sword pops out of it.

Witch Queen: The only one who must obey here, is you. My little devil slave. Blood Magic, Puppet's Blood.

The sword and his unclothed foot with a thunderous clang as Noelle and Vanessa witness the horror their friend and squadmate was being subjected to.

LET HIM GO, NOW!

Witch Queen: That being said, your death would provide the utmost inconvenince for me... you alone shall receive any and all healing. Blood Recovery Magic, Curse Breaking Blood-Filled Cocoon.

She subjects him to another round of recovery magic, healing all of the injuires he had suffered from his hellacious fight with Ladros.

Witch Queen: Stay by my side, and you can wreak all the havoc and destruction you'd wish.

Noelle looks at the Sea Dragon's Lair as Tyrus continues to be guarded.... How the Queen missed was but a miracle but she counting her lucky stars had a new plight to worry about.

Noelle: Casting such advanced spells, one right after the other.... I knew we had every right to be scared of her. This isn't like the Spirit's power Fana had. Just being close to her is giving me chills alone, she's way worse than I thought. Ty, wake up... now!

Tyrus: Ngh... not good. What's this crazy power going off the charts.... is this. COULD THIS BE ASTA?! No.. impossible don't get me wrong he's strong but never this strong.... it's gotta be the Queen of Witches. Noelle and others are in trouble, come on body wake up! GET UP OR THEY'RE GONNA DIE! I CAN'T ALLOW THIS, NOT ASTA BEING A SLAVE, NOT MY SQUADMATES DYING. YOU ARE A MAGIC KNIGHT WANTING TO BE THE NEXT WIZARD KING, RIGHT?! SO GET THE FUCK UP, YOU LAZY SHIT! ENOUGH SLEEPING!

His body suddenly begins to glow as those all too familiar dragon arms over his actual arms begin to form and pulsate in addition some new changes were taking over as well.

Witch Queen: As for your sword.... If I cannot wield it myself.... Why not just be the master of the person who actually wields it? And you've given me the perfect demonstration on how to use it. So.... For as long as you live? You're going to carry this weapon and do my bidding as I see fit.

Then it happens... the sky once again goes pitch black with a dark blue undertone as cracks of mana whip all around the field barely missing Vanessa as it grazes her cheek.

Vanessa: No! What's happening now?!

Asta: Kill..... kill.

Vanessa: Oh no. All this time she wasn't after me.... SHE WAS AFTER ASTA'S ANTI MAGIC SWORD, YOU GUYS!

Everyone bugs out when they hear the revelation as he emerges with that half winged-devil.

Witch Queen: And now for your first order of business...

She points one of her fingers cruelly in the direction of all that stand in front of Asta starting with..... Noelle Silva.

Witch Queen: I want you. To kill every last one of these pathetic weaklings that stands in front of you, starting with my fellow royalty who thought it brave to talk down on me. Do a perfect job and leave no one alive. Hahahaha.

Noelle: Asta. I beg you, fight her off! You have to wake up, please.

Vanessa realizes that her mother wasn't playing around... when she wanted something and said do it "perfectly" it meant, finish the job. She looks between the pleading Noelle, heavily sweating Finral who looked to be on the verge of passing out again and Fanzell and Dominante who struggled uselessly against the bonds. Asta makes the slow crawl of death towards Noelle as the tsundere continues to beg for her life and whimper and just as he raised the Demon Slayer sword was raised to cleave the royal in half, furious steps were heard and then a gut wrenching kick was planted into Asta's abdomen driving him a couple of feet. Everyone looks, bugging out yet again when they see-

Tyrus: Oi, the hell are you all doing up there?

Noelle: TYRUS?!

Witch Queen: It seems I have forgotten one. How... imperfect of me

Tyrus: That's my name, don't wear it out. Sorry about the nap, didn't want to sleep that long to be honest.

Those who were conscious take in his new look. His upper clothes much like Asta's were still shredded from confronting Salamander but his hair was now half white/half black, his eyes instead of their usual brown were multicolored with his right eye being blue and left taking a more silverish undertone. He, also like Asta appeared to have an incomplete transformation in terms of wings as a giant spirit dragon wing grazed the entirety of his left side, arms now covered in a cerulean blue texture with many scales adorning them with a new bottom half of boots and pants.

Vanessa: I'm liking the new look, kiddo. But what took you so long?

Tyrus: We can talk about it later, but first....

He levitates his grimoire so he could cast his new spell...

Tyrus: Ice Creation Magic...... ICE-STALKER BLADES!

He proceeds to yank out two swords as he whips them around.

Tyrus: I don't know what the hell is goin' on but seeing you guys up there and Asta like that...... doesn't leave much to the imagination. Just sit tight, this is going to get bloody and ugly, really fast.

He then narrows his eyes at the Witch Queen as his heart skips a couple of beats.

Tyrus: We're really doing this huh, Kami?

Kuraokami: It would appear so, Master. I know you don't wish to bring any harm to your brother but-

Tyrus: Yeah.... only way I can wake him up. ASTA! I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING BUT IF YOU THINK FOR ONE SECOND IN THAT TINY ASS BRAIN I'M GONNA LET YOU KILL ANY OF THEM, LET ME TELL YOU. RIGHT. NOW. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET THROUGH ME, AND TRUST ME, I'VE BEEN IN A MOOD TO WHOOP SOMEONE'S ASS, YOU JUST HAPPEN TO BE THAT GUY. AS FOR YOU, QUEENIE!

He points one of his blades at the Queen of Witches.

Tyrus: Here's how this is going to go down, I'm going to beat the ever-living hell out of my brother, break him out of whatever spell you got him in.... and then I'm gonna... KILL YOU.

Witch Queen: My, my. You're quite the unfiltered one, I change my mind my slave, you can kill this one I also healed. Only then, may you then move forward and kill the other ones.

Tyrus: I've got a lot to teach you about Asta, Queenie. But you and I can agree on one thing, I'm done talking, run those damn hands and blades!

A new set of battle lines had been drawn but never so soon did Tyrus think he would find himself fighting Asta let alone to the death.

Tyrus: Asta.... I WILL WAKE YOU UP. YOU'RE NO SLAVE, YOU ARE MY RIVAL AND MY BROTHER!
