As Nero stood there once again petrified in the act of touching her head while Noelle had ram like horns on her own head. The two girls were just standing there seemingly motionless.

Just what had caused Noelle to suddenly grow horns all of sudden and just why had Nero's vanish as she reverted back into statue form herself. These were many questions that were raised and none of them were getting answered cause everyone in the Black Bulls HQ were also statues. At least those that were located and/or moved back inside it.

Though what had become of Asta though who went looking around once again. Well he ended up crashing threw the wall and landing at the feet of the two female statues. He was clearly unconscious as he seemingly ran into something while he was outside. Whatever it was was strong enough to not just knock him out but knock him through a wall in the process.

Not being aware of what was going on this was went something abnormal happened by even the currently standards of what was happening in the world at the moment. The petrified Noelle began to move as she places both hands near the ground, and then manifests a dome composed of multiple whirlpools. The Noelle statue had used small version of Sea Dragon's Nest around itself, Asta, and Nero. The small Sea Dragon's Nest maintained itself for awhile as the color was even different as it seemed darker than normal as it was not as transparent as it normal was either.

Also her grimoire did not open or glow in fact it seemed that she did not even have one anymore. In fact Asta and Nero before she reverted back into a statue herself, did not notice everyone's grimoire was gone. Nero did not even notice that her own was missing when she used her sealing magic earlier. Asta did not pick up on this either as he kind of had more pressing issue to focus on at the moment. That being that everyone was petrified rather than everyone's grimoire but his own was now missing.

Time passed...

As Asta slowly started to come to regaining consciousness after not only being knock out by something but also knocked all the way back to Black Bull's HQ and threw a wall as well.

"Nero!?" Asta yelled

Noticing that she had reverted back into a statue and was about to attempt to uses the same sword that helped the first time but than refrained from doing so.

"Probably would not do anything at this point" he said

Whatever magic cause this had altered reality so that everyone being statues was the normal state of the world and everyone in it. Thus it was possible that Nero had become like that as well. Though hopefully there was a way to revert at least her back to human form once again.

"Just have to...huh!?" He said as he noticed that there were four changes in addition to Nero having reverted back to being a statue herself.

The first was with Nero other than the obvious fact that she was a statue again was that her horns were missing. That was something that should not have been possible yet here it was with the both of them being gone.

The second was that Noelle was touching the floor with both hands as if she had used Sea Dragon's Nest somewhere. Which was strange as how did she even change from just standing there to being on the floor.

The third was that Rebecca Scarlet was standing next to Nero. She was obvious petrified as well since she had mana and everyone that seemingly had it was turned to stone by that massive spell.

The fourth was the statue of Mimosa Vermillion was leading over Asta as if she had used her healing magic on him like had had done so many time seen they had first met.

Also noticed that both Mimosa and Rebecca seemed to have clothes that have suffered battle damage of some sort. They seem burn, ripped, and torn in various places.
