The three members of the golden dawn were moving through a dark passageway in the dungeon as Mimosa used her magic to lead them to the treasure hall, "It should be at the end of this passage" she said as they saw a light ahead of them. The area they were in now had a stream surrounding a path that lead to a large door.
Yuno landed them in front of the door, "This must be the entrance to the treasure hall" said Klaus studying the door as the cloud that brought them here vanished.
"I don't see any of the black bulls anywhere" said Mimosa looking around the area.
"Not surprising, it's clear this mission wasn't suited for them" said Klaus pushing up his glasses. Then before either of them could have noticed crystals started growing out of the ground behind them heading straight for Mimosa. She was then hit by them making her look surprised before she fell to the ground.
"MIMOSA" Klaus yelled as he rushed over to the young golden dawn member like Yuno, "She has a great magic sense but she didn't even see it coming" he said noticing she was in pain. The cloak had taken most of the damage so the crystals didn't pierce her.
"Just what was that" said Yuno looking at crystals.
"That was no trap magic, this was magic was aimed" said Klaus looking annoyed as they then heard the sound of footsteps, "Who goes there" he said standing up to see a man with spiky hair and a black cape covered in jewels. There was a symbol on the left side of the cape and one of the most noticeable things about him was the three gems in his forhead going downward.
"Your in my way, move" said the enemy mage with a calm look on his face.
Mimosas grimoire opened, "Plant recovery magic, healing flower cradle" she said as plants started to form around her. She was now in a small flower cage lying down on some flowers, "I'm sorry sir, I didn't see it coming and I'm suppose to be the groups healer" she siad dissapointed with herself.
"Don't worry about that, just focus on healing yourself for now" said Klaus with a sirious look on his face as he got closer look of the symbol on the enemy mages cape, "That symbol, he must be from the diamond kingdom" he thought, "Yuno".
"Got it" siad Yuno as his grimoire opened and wind started to surround him.
The diamond mage still had a calm look on his face as his grimoire opened, some of the grimoire was orange while the rest was blue. More crystals shot up from the ground in front of him towards Klaus who blocked the attack when a steel wall that shot up from the ground in front of him blocking the attack.
Yuno used his magic to send multiple wind daggers towards the enemy mage but the attack was stopped by a crystal wall stopping Yunos attack. This continued on for a few more minutes before Klaus started to look annoyed since they hadn't landed a hit.
He sent three steel drills towards the diamond Mage only do destroy more crystals, "This is taking too long" he thought, "Yuno go on to the treasure hall, I'll take care of this" he siad.
"But sir" said Yuno but Klaus interrupted him.
"Our mission in this dungeon is to secure the treasure hall, now go I can handle this myself" he said looking sirious. Yuno didn't say anything for a moment before the wind surrounding him vanished and he turned around and began to run towards the treasure hall door, "Hes a still a newbie and a commoner, I can't let him fight this one" thought Klaus when his right foot was trapped by the crytlals and he looked towards the diamond kingdom mage.
"Now get out of the way" he said as more crystals shot towards Klaus who found himself unable to defend himself. But he was then saved by a wind slash that destroyed the crystals.
Yuno was then standing behind Klaus with his hand over his grimoire as the wind surrounded him, "What are you doing, I told you to go on, why are you still here" aksed Klaus?
"I'm sorry sir but I'm going nowhere" said Yuno calmly before his look turned sirious, "Iam your friend" as he spoke these words the wind around him increased its speed as the pages in his grimoire turned, "Now wind creation magic, swift hawk and wind daggers" he said as a big wind hawk appeared behind him and multiple wind daggers appeared in front of him.
"He's performing a dual casting" thought Klaus looking surprised as both of Yuno spells shot towards the diamond kingdom mage when somehting destoeyd both of them and sent Yuno flying into a wall.
Yuno stood back up as he looked to see a big crystal sword floating up in the air above the diamond kingdom mage who was holding his right hand up as both of Yuno spells vanished.
"What am I doing, I'm being defended by a commoner, I'm a member of the elite golden dawn and a noble" thought Klaus looking annoyed as his grimoire opened, "I will not lose, steel creation magic lance drill" he said pointing his right hand forward as a lance with a drill at the end of it shot towards the diamond kingdom game who looked calm.
"Klaus wait" warned Yuno but it was too late as the steel lance hit somehting creating a smoke cloud. It was then revealed that the lance was stopped by a crystal replica of the mage. The real one was standing away from it and was still holding his right hand up.
He beought his hand down making the sword move down towards Yuno, the sword struck the ground but Yuno used his wind magic to jump out of the way. He sent a wind slash toward the mage making another blast of smoke appear. When it cleared the mage was now wearing armour that looked like the crystal. It covered his arms, legs, chest and each side of his face. He moved his hand again moving the sword trying to hit Yuno who dodged out of the way again. He fell onto the ground standing in front of the mage and sent another wind slash towards him, but it did no damage as the mage just stood there calmly.
"Your in my way, move" the mage said calmly.
"I won't move, I'm not giving up" said Yuno siriously as he sent another wind slash at the diamond kingdom mage as he remembered a long time ago when he used to train with Asta and no matter how many times Asta fell he kept getting back up.
"Move" said the mage starting to sound annoyed as he held his hand up in the air and the sword floated above him.
"IM NOT GIVING UP" yelled Yuno looking determined as the mage brought his hand down making the blade fall towards him.
"Yuno" siad Klaus. Then there was the sound of hurried footsteps and the pages of a grimoire turning.
"Ahhh" yelled Asta as he stood in front of Yuno and cut the crystal sword in two making the top half fly into the ceiling. The three members of the golden dawn looked surprised, "Hey, who do you think your fighting, Yunos my rival" he said pointing his anti magic sword at the diamond kingdom mage.
"Just what is that kind of power and how did someone looked like him get that power" thought Klaus as the diamond kingdom mages crystal clone appeared behind him. But it was destroyed by Luck with his armored lighting arms.
"Uh that was easy" he said smiling. Klaus then looked surpsied as he noticed the other members of the black bulls.
"Wait he's the third member the black bulls sent, if I remember correctly they called him Luck the berserker after he violently beated his exam opponent" thought Klaus knowing the black bull members reputation.
"Mimosa" said Noelle as she rushed over to where Mimosa was still in the flower cage healing, "What happenned to you" she asked looking concerned?
"I got a little reckless and got myself hert" she said with a small smile, "I guess somethings never change".
Noelles look then turned sirious as her grimoire opened and water dome formed over the flower cage, "Well you don't have to worry, I'll protect you now" she said pointing her wand forward.
"Thank you Noelle" said Mimosa.
"Yuno what were you thinking back there, you could have died" said Asta looking annoyed at his rival.
"No I wasn't, I had a perfect plan ready to go" said Yuno calmly making Asta look annoyed.
"No he had you totally beat, leave it to you to stay calm in this kind of situation" he said.
The diamond kingdom mage watched them talk when he felt an image go through his head showing a girl smiling. He put his hand on his head looking confused.
"How about we work together to see who can beat this guy first" said Asta smiling.
"Right" said Yuno looking determined as the two of them faced the diamond kingdom mage who had put his hand down.
"The battlefield is only a place for those who are strong enough to fight, my duty is to destroy the weak" said the mage as multiple crystal clones appeared from the ground.
"To destroy the weak huh, just try it" said Asta rushing forward dodging the other clones and went to hit the original. He ended up cutting down a clone and then he looked up to see the diamond mage with another big crystal sword.
The mage sent his arm forward making the crystal sword move forward. But Asta jumped into the air destroying the sword and cutting into the diamond kingdom mage. Destroying the armor that covered him and sent him into the water.
"Uh I was looking forward to fighting him, I guess these will have to do" said Luck as he started destroying multiple crystal clones with both his lightning armored arms and legs. Yuno was doing the same with his wind slashes.
One of the clones went to attack Klaus who had been watching Astas fight, but the clone was destroyed by a blast of water, "You left yourself open, stop looking so suprised and keep an eye on your surroundings" said Noelle getting his attention, "Asta has the ability to remove magic so he can handle his own fight".
"I don't understand how a commoner with no mana has that kind of power, maybe it was just luck that he got this power" said Klaus pushing up his glasses.
"Asta has no magic, which makes him the perfect person to wield this power and he's not the kind of person to give up" said Noelle sticking up for her friend who her feelings had to started change into something more.
"Wait he has no magic" said Klaus looking even more surpsied then he was before, "The diamond mage had gems in his forhead, I've heard rumors that the diamond kingdom had been growing strong mages, but at the end of their training they all fight to death, so he must be one of the survivors and he was beaten by someone with no magic" he thought as the image of the gems on the mages forhead went through his head.
"Is they all you got" said Asta looking at the water when a giant crystal boulder shot up from it towards him. He cut the crystal boulder in two and as the two sides went past him multiple crystals started growing from both sides. Then the two sides came together hitting him.
"ASTA" yelled Yuno and Noelle. The two sides moved away from Asta revealing half of his shirt was torn off and he was bleeding from his head as he fell to the ground.
The two sides of the crystal were revealed to be the arms of a big crystal golem where the diamond kingdom mage was in its chest, "You've lost, now give up" said the mage looking calm.
"I can't give up, because I'm going to be the wizard king" said Asta looking determined as he stood back up gripping the handle of his anti magic sword.
"The wizard king, is he serious, the state his body is in, just how much training did this boy have to go through" thought Klaus looking surpsied by the young black bulls determination.
Another image flash through the diamond mages mind, this time the girl spoke, "Hey Mars, what do you want to when we leave here" she said.
"Your just a damn pebble in my way, now move" said Mars angrily as the golems left fist went towards Asta who jumped into the air again.
"I'm just a pebble huh" said Asta as he cut through the golems left arm, "THEN IM GONNA BE THE PEBBLE, THAT SHATTERS THE DIAMOND" he yelled cutting into where Mars body was in the golem. The anti magic sword hit Mars sending him flying and completely destroying the crystal golem.
Mars fell onto the ground with his grimoire looking uncouncious. Asta stood on the ground holding his anti magic sword breathing in an out.
"Well done Asta" said Noelle smiling while feeling relieved that he was alright.
Asta then yelled into the air celebrating his victory over the diamond kingdom mage.
