Becoming One ~Asta x OC~ (Black Clover Fanfic)

Chapter 35 - Past Your Limits

Mika POV

As Vetto continues to get wrapped in thread, he looks at us with a smug look. "Hm. You think 

that being persistent is enough to win?"

He breaks free, "Pitiful. As if these cobwebs could restrain me! Please. You can't trap a Mythical 

beast!"

Vanessa smiles, "What fun would it actually be is you stayed tied up?"

"Keep talking. Your confidence will disappear quickly enough. You're just one more insect for me to destroy! Mythical Beast Magic: Epohlla Puevig!"

As the blast comes our way, it never hits us; seeing a portal, it comes back shotting at Vetto instead. He moves just in time, smiling at us, "It appears there was one more mouse on the 

loose."

Finral makes his presence known, "Aw, hey, wouldja look at that? You guys sure are on fire today, huh?"

Asta smiles, "Finra, you're here!"

He rubs the back of his head, sweating nervously, "Our juniors are giving it all they've got. Time 

for us to show off our most advanced stuff."

We smile at him as Vanessa pokes at him, "How nice of you to finally show up, Finral, you old 

incompetent so-and-so!"

"Hey! Who are you calling incompetent? Of course, I'd show up, what do you think I am, a coward?"

Vetto chuckles, "These little mice. No, they're not even worth that! More like a swarm of pitiful ants. Ha. They can't even how to inflict the tiniest scratch upon the likes of me."

I turn towards Noelle, "Do you still have enough magic to protect everyone? They're going to be 

out for a while, I can't hold up these barriers forever if I want to stay awake."

She nods, running over to the rest of the group, leaving Finrel, Asta, Vanessa, and me.

Vanessa frowns at Vetto, "That's a stunning amount of magic. Daunting. One blow from him, and you're out for the count." This makes Finral start to sweat; even more, Vanessa turns to him and smiles. "If you help us win this, I'll give you a nice, long hug."

"A hug?"

"Oh, you heard me. I'll let you cry into my bosom all you want."

This fires him up extremely, "Men are so predictable."

She ties her strings around Asta, "Now listen, Asta, Mika, the usual magic attacks aren't gonna do any good against this guy. It's going to be up to you two, and your magic, whatever happens, do not let go of that sword. And if you see his attack getting to close to Asta, take it and shoot it right back with full force, got it?"

"Right!"

"Ma'am."

"All right, boys and girls, our lives depend on this."

Finral steps forward, "you bet. Let's beat him!"

As he releases his beast magic, we scream, "Let's do this."

Asta rushes forward with great speed, missing his beam, Finral redirect him back to him. Seeing as Vanessa is steering and speeding him up, I have to match it.

I whisper, "Light Magic: Speed of Light."

Feeling a warm heat on my feet, I see Asta slice and dodge another mean. Absorbing the beam as Asta continues trying to attach him from afar. Quickly realizing this, Vetto changing his position to close-range, focusing on Asta. I smirk, knowing it's too late, I already have his hateful magic stored in my gem.

As the two fight, I look for openings as Vanessa keeps Asta from getting hit by him.

"Light Beast Magic: Pegasus's Reign!"

As a stampede of light magic in the shape of a giant pegasus comes running to Vetto, he tries to attack them. Getting distracted by my attack, Asta uses this to send a blow across his face. As Vanessa brings him back, I notice him out of breath. Sending him a small wave of light magic, his fatigue quickly washes away.

Vetto releases a dark chuckle, "How fascinating, taken separately, you humans are so much trash, but with four of you working together, it seems you can actually fight. And I find that disgusting! You may think there's strength in numbers, but that's just an illusion. You have no hope!"

His dark reddish magic covers his feet and hands, seeing, and his own magic barely affects him. I use a mixture of his beats magic to enhance his strength.

"Dark Beast Magic: Strength of a Thousand Titans."

Releasing the dark beast magic, I manipulate it to attack itself to Asta's arms, he smirks, feeling the power grow. The next blow he gives with his sword will be enough to slice off a limb, all he needs to do is touch him.

Not wanting to waste my magic, I control how much power I put in his arms, depending on his closeness of Vetto. Having to follow every move, I feel the beast magic gradually slipping away.

Venessa asks, "Finral, how are your magic preserves looking?"

"With these spells, I'm draining them pretty quickly."

I sigh, feeling my vision blur a bit, keeping focus I smirk a bit, "I guess it's time to push my limits."

"Light Magic: Blooming Rose!"

Slamming my foot down, 3 roses appear, one under Noelle, Vanessa, and Finral. Finral smiles, 

"My mana! It's replenishing!"

I nod, "It will maintain your Mana levels, I'll try to keep it going for as long as possible."

I've never used both Light and Dark Magic before at the same time, and I have to say, it's making me feel weaker than before. Seeing Asta get cut, I focus my dark beast magic to his torso, covering his wound tightly so it won't bleed.

I start to feel out of breath, as Vanessa and Finral halt Asta stand a great distance away from 

Vetto. Yami's voice rings, he begins to explain to Asta's Vetto's goal. That he wants to learn his timing and weaknesses. That he's been holding back his attacks and going on the defenses instead. As this is more life or death between each other's blows, Yami tells us to be smart about it.

We scream, "Right here, right now! We'll push further past our limit!"

Feeling pumped up, I add more strength to Asta's blows. Helping Vanessa and Finral keep their mana at bay. Having to retract my healing from Noelle and the others, I use my light magic to heal any wounds from grazing Asta.

Speeding up, we try not to slip up, Vetto looks at us. "Well done. Your ability to focus is commendable, and with the duel magic insect, your magic seems to be intact. I wonder what would happen if we take her out of the equation?"
