Part 78: Mereoleona vs Rhya
In the eye of the midnight sun hideout where the Royal knights were currently fighting. The different teams were heading towards the middle of the hideout to face their leader. In one big open area three members stood on a cube with Nozel surrounded by mercury in one of the passageways.
"Theres three of us, how can he take us down so easily," one of the members said.
"Mercury magic, silver bullets," Nozel said as small pieces of mercury shot at the eye of the midnight sun members. The blast hit sending up a cloud of smoke and then other members jumped towards Nozel who noticed them.
"How about, silver swords," he said as the mercury formed multiple swords. The swords were sent flying at the enemy and sent them flying into the wall.
"Try this," a member said from a cube, sending out a large stone arm.
Nozel looked serious as he pointed his hand forward, "Silver spear," he said sending out a large silver blast that destroyed the rock. It fell apart and took down the eye of the midnight sun member.
"He makes this look easy, even to novices," En said from sitting on a mushroom. Alecdora and the silver eagles member from Rills team were standing with him.
"I feel better with him with us," he said smiling while Nozel was thinking.
"If I remember right the eye of the midnight suns spacial mage always leaves the hideout around this time, luckily we have our own spacial mage outside to set up a barrier," he thought remembering Cob had stayed outside. "This way he wont be able to get back in and no one can escape," he thought.
"Licht, I will defeat you for Feugoleon," he thought looking determined.
In another part of the hideout eye of the midnight sun members jumped back as Kirsch was flying towards them, "Cherry blossom magic, raging cherry blossom, plus my beautiful illusion," he said as blossoms and illusions of himself flew forward.
"My eyes have been opened and even cut off some of my hair," he said potting at the hair that had been shortened. "This has made me even stronger and now you can perform more beautifully," he said smiling when Noelle appeared next to him on cherry blossoms.
"How is this seriously helping," she said looking annoyed before flying forward, "Water creation magic, sea dragons ball," she said firing multiple blasts of water that took out a few enemy's.
Then another royal knight jumped up, "Clay magic, nice mace," he said hitting a mace into the ground.
"Your Ben right, congratulations on making it into the royal knights," said Noelle remembering when Yuno defeated his team.
"Thank you, you also fought well in the finals," he said calmly.
"Thanks," Noelle said when Luck jumped forward. His arms and legs covered in lighting armor.
"Lightning magic, thunder kick," he said sending out a strike of lighting that hit one enemy and then another before hitting the others around the room.
"This is fun, its to bad Magna isn't here," he thought before smiling, "Whatever ill just have more fun and tell him all about it, haha," Luck said before jumping forward.
Kirsch watched Luck from the ground and the lighting that went around, "Its so beautiful," he said.
"This isn't the time," Noelle said looking annoyed.
Over with Yunos group the two of them were in a passage way after defeating eye of the midnight sun members. "I knew you could both do it, way to go," Bell said cheering for Yuno and Mimosa.
"I wonder how many more of them are left," Klaus said.
"It doesn't matter, lets get going," said Yuno when they heard one of the fallen enemy's laughing.
"You cant win this, this battle has already been decided," he said leaning up.
"What do you mean," said Mimosa.
"The times is close, soon we will be in our true forms and defeat you all," he said before falling back unconscious.
"Strange and what are these designs on the walls," Mimosa said looking at design on the wall.
"That's not all," said Yuno looking serious as he looked ahead, "Does anyone else hear that," he said hearing a beating sound.
Over with Mereoleonas group, "You guys need better traps, I can see right through them," Zora said.
"Any magic you send right at us ill use my sword to send it right back," Asta said holding out the demon slayer sword.
Then Mereoleona rushed forward and blasted the enemy's with fire making the two of them look surprised. "Wow shes good," Zora said when Two Astas stepped forward.
"Seriously is there any reason were here when she can fight like that," they said before looking at each other confused.
"Huh," said Zora.
"Wait who are you, I'm me," they said.
"What is this some kind of cloning spell," said Zora.
"Hey not cool, you know I cant do magic," they said.
"Did I give you permission to multiply," Mereoleona said walking forward.
"Hey this isn't my fault, hes the fake," they said pointing at each other.
"Hey can you tell who the real one is?" Mereoleona asked looking at Zora.
"Not a clue," he said calmly when a flaming paw grabbed his head.
"Then what are you good for," she said before a flame appeared in her right hand, "Here will try this," she said before throwing it at the Astas.
A small explosion went off, making the two Astas scream as the flames surrounded them, "That's brutal," said Zora when Asta cut through the flames with the demon slayer sword.
"Are you trying to kill me," he said looking shocked.
"You just survived a trial by fire, you wouldn't be here if you werent able to survive that," said Mereoleona smiling.
"No hes got a point, you're a real monster," said a male voice as Asta stood next to Mereoleona. "Copy magic, aqua cloak," he said as water covered him.
"Healing light particles," he said as the water fell apart revealing Rhya who was being healed by light. The eye on his forehead was glowing.
"Well if it isn't two guys and a lovely lady," said Rhya smiling.
"Who are you?" Mereoleona said.
"I remember him, hes one of the eye of the midnight suns strongest from the third eye," Asta said holding his sword up, "Rhya the disloyal," he said.
"Oh yeah I heard about him," Mereoleona said calmly.
"You mean you just forgot about him," Asta said.
"You know if you werent royal I would have invited you out for a drink," Rhya said.
"Don't forget shes also really strong," Zora said.
"Yeah well I still need to take you down, Copy magic, dark cloaked blade," he said pulling a a dark covered sword out of his grimoire that made Asta and Zora look surprised.
"That's," Zora said.
"Captain Yamis spell, that isn't right," Asta said looking annoyed.
"If Yami that easy to copy then he has a long way to go," Mereoleona said smiling.
"Oh yeah, well try and dodge this, Copy magic, dark cloaked, lightless slash," he said sending out a dark slash. Asta and Zora jumped out of the way while Mereoleonas right fist was covered in flames and punched the slash. Destroying it.
"Whoa," said Asta.
"Well that was surprising, looks like will have to fight a different way," Rhya said before Mereoleona quickly ran up to him, making him look surprised.
"Flame magic, Calidus Brachium," she said punching him across the face with her flame covered fist. Sending him flying into a large room with floating stone cubes.
"Incredible, that fist of hers is completely surrounded by her magic," Zora thought looking at Mereoleonas flame covered arm.
"Wow your strong, Copy magic, healing light particles," he said healing himself again as he stood back up.
"Oh that's getting really annoying," Asta said, "That's it, lets take him down," he said about to jump down when Mereoleona used a flaming paw to throw him back.
"Stay back if you don't want to die," she said before jumping down into the room.
"You have a lot of power of lady royal, though you did steal it from us," Rhya said as his girmoire turned and changed colors. "Copy magic, light swords of conviction," he said sending multiple light swords at Mereoleona.
"Theres no way she can destroy them this fast," Rhya thought when Mereoleona quickly destroyed the light swords with flames.
"Is that all you got," she said smiling before jumping towards Rhya who sent a water Javelin at her.
Mereoleona punched through it and then Rhya vanished. "Whose spell was that," Zora said.
"I think its from the former captain of the purple orcas," Asta said. "She's not fighting him from far away, shes up close I got to pay attention to see if theres anything I can learn," he thought smiling when Rhya appeared above Mereoleona.
"Copy magic, ice stone," he said sending a large rock of Ice at Mereoleona who punched through it making him look surprised.
"Alright then try this," Rhya said as a copy of Salamander appeared, "Copy magic, salamanders breath," he said as the copy blasted fire at Mereoleona who easily destroyed the blast.
"Is that all," she said as Rhya landed on a cube with the copy of salamander vanishing.
"Copy magic, water snake," he said as large water snake appeared, "Here it is, the most powerful water spell I have," he said as the spell went forward. The snake hit Mereoleona who smiled.
"Calidus brachium," she said blasting the water snake and destroying it.
"Waters her weakness and fires her attribute, how is she doing this," Rhya said looking annoyed as he fired another spell.
Over with Asta and Zora who were watching the battle. "This is insane, we had so much trouble fighting the other third eye yet shes handling him one on one," Asta thought.
"Mereoleona Vermilion, I did a little research on her and looks like what I heard was right," Zora thought. "This woman spends three hundred days a year in the wild, says she doesn't like the capital because its to stuffy," he thought. "Since shes in nature shes able to absorb the natural mana and got even stronger," he thought before looking serious, "That's why she was able to take mana skin to a whole new level," he thought.
"Plus im sure I know enough about that copy mage, he can use all the attributes but I noticed he cant use two at the same time," he thought before smiling.
"But it looks like shes good enough to handle that cheater," he thought.
"Guess its time for this," Rhya said as his grimoire chnaged again and he pulled out a copy of the demon slayer sword.
"Oh no," said Asta.
"This isn't good," said Zora looking annoyed.
"I'm able to copy someone's magic if I touch their grimoire, luckily I was able to touch the other one earlier," Rhya thought. He thought back to the past when he found out he got copy magic and said it suited someone like him. But Licht told him it showed hes a nice person since he would need to be able to understand someone.
"I may be loyal and a liar, but when you deceived us I felt a lot of anger," Rhya thought looking angry as he held the sword. "That's why I'm going to destroy you," he thought bringing the sword down on Mereoleonas fist.
But Mereoleona flaming fist broke through the copy making him look surprised, "Looks like you werent able to copy anti magic," she said smiling.
"She wasn't sure but yet she still attacked, this power isn't like anything we've seen before," he thought.
"Mana zone, calidus brachium barrage," she said sending multiple flaming fists at Rhya and lighting up the room. Mana Zone gives her the ability to feel the mana in the room and use it.
"This is it for you," Mereoleona said.
"Looks like this is the end," Rhya thought as the spell continued to hit him.
Over with Yunos group who was facing three of the eye of the midnight sun members, "Wind magic, tornado fang times three," Yuno said as multiple wind slashed hit their enemy's from behind.
"I cant lose here," Yuno said looking serious. He then used his wind magic to fly the four of them forward and up the steps.
"That was mana zone, I cant believe hes been able to use it," Mimosa thought looking surprised. "But thats how he was able to use spirit dive, you really are an amazing mage Yuno," she thought smiling when he spoke up.
"Can anyone else hear that," he said.
"Wait," said Mimosa before hearing the sound. "Is that, a heartbeat," she said.
