Enter the two swordsmen

A huge about of dust and smoke filled the area, blocking out everyone's view.

"Even though that dude has tough skin, there's absolutely no way that he can survive that…." Kenzan spoke, causing the rest of the Magic Knights to nod their heads in agreement.

The dust and smoke slowly disappeared and when they saw the scene in front of them clearly, their eyes widened in horror.

"T-there's no way t-that he can survive t-that…." Joyeues said in a low tone of voice as she saw that Vetto is still standing, looking completely unharmed.

With Magna and Luck, the two Black Bull Magic Knights are completely worn out from using all of their Mana in the combined attack.

"You…..got to….be kidding…...me…." Magna managed to say as he looked up and Vetto, his body shaking slightly.

"I'm afraid that what you two are staring at is reality." Vetto said before suddenly striking Magna and Luck with two powerful punches, causing them to crash into a wall.

"Magna! Luck!" Gauche called with widened eyes.

However, his two fellow Black Bull Magic Knights didn't respond, nor made any movements.

"Damn you!" Gauche shouted before attacking the member of the "Third Eye" with a beam of light.

Vetto dodge the attacks before sensing a presence behind him.

"So, back for more?" Vetto questioned as he duck under a swing attack from Kenzan.

"You got that right!" The swords-woman of the wind responded in anger as she swing the twin blades of Hayata.

However, despite the barrage of sword attacks that Kenzan threw at him, Vetto sighed.

"You still don't get it…." Vetto said before suddenly grabbing Kenzan by one of her legs and throwing her.

"Owch!" Kenzan grunted as she crash onto the stone floor.

"Kenzan!" Her fellow Sword Of Logos Magic Knights shouted in concern just before Vetto appeared in front of Buster and Tetsuo.

"There is no hope for you all, only despair." Vetto said before starting to attack.

The swordsman of the earth push Tetsuo out of the way before using Gekido to block Vetto's attacks.

"He was only playing with us earlier. Now he's getting serious. I need to find an opening to strike back." Buster thought, gritting his teeth slightly as he felt the impact that Vetto's attack have behind them.

A blur of silver suddenly appeared out of the corner of Buster's vision and struck Vetto, causing the member of the "Third Eye" to misjudge the angle of one of his attacks, missing Gekido.

"Thanks, Joyeues." Buster said in his head before giving a vertical swing with Gekido, successfully striking Vetto.

The member of the "Third Eye" growled slightly as he stumble back from the attack, a gash making it's appearance on his arm.

"Why you little…." Vetto said in a low tone of voice as he glance towards Joyeues who spun around and lunged towards him, preparing to do a thrust attack with Argent-Couronne.

However, Vetto threw a punch that was much faster than Joyeues.

This cause the swords-woman of steel to switch into a defensive position and when Vetto's attack struck her, Joyeues only receive the kinetic energy from behind the attack and flew back a few paces.

"Heh. You have quick reactions, I give you that." Vetto commented before turning his attention back towards Buster.

As the swordsman of the earth moved out of the way, he notice how his speed has increased.

"Tetsuo must have used his magic on me." Buster thought as he glance towards the Mechanic of the Sword Of Logos and saw Tetsuo's Grimoire is open.

However, he wasn't the only one who notice the difference.

"Stay out of this. If you just going to stay on the sidelines, then you only end up getting crushed first." Vetto explained has he suddenly moved towards the Mechanic of the Sword Of Logos. "Goodbye." Vetto said before throwing an attack towards Tetsuo.

"Music Magic: Echoing Barrier." Tetsuo announced just as his Grimoire flipped through it's pages.

The air in front of Tetsuo seemingly started to vibrate in a circular motion.

Vetto's eyes widened as his fist struck the barrier.

"So he can at least defend himself. However…." Vetto before suddenly moving around the barrier.

"It seems that you can only create barriers in one direction!" Vetto said with an evil-like grin on his face as he prepared to attack Tetsuo.

"Can I create another barrier in time!?" Tetsuo exclaimed in his head as he prepare the same spell again.

However, before anything else can happen, something green came rushing past, taking Tetsuo with it.

"Huh?" Vetto said in a confused tone of voice before looking in the direction to where the green blur and Tetsuo went and saw Kenzan with the Mechanic in her arms.

"K-Kenzan?!" Tetsuo said in a stunned tone of voice before examine Kenzan's body.

"You shouldn't push yourself." Tetsuo pointed out, hearing the deep breaths that Kenzan is producing.

"Or what? Watch you die?" Kenzan asked with a small smile under helmet.

"Don't be smarter than your elders." Tetsuo retorted, but with a small smile on his own face.

"And don't forget to keep your eyes on your opponent." A voice spoke, causing both Tetsuo and Kenzan to look up and saw Vetto looking down on them,

"Mr Daishinji!/Tetsuo! Kenzan!" Joyeues, Buster and Gauche exclaimed at the same before the two Sword Of Logos Magic Knights lunging towards Vetto, swords and the ready.

However, Vetto was already throwing a fist straight towards the two as Kenzan lifting the twin blades of Hayate in cross position.

A black portal suddenly appeared which cause both Kenzan and Tetsuo to fall through.

"Huh?" Vetto, Joyeues, Buster and Gauche said at the same time in a confused tone of voices before a thudding sound is head, causing the three of them to turn their heads towards the direction of the noise to see Kenzan and Tetsuo appearing some distance away.

"Hah….just made it in time." A voice spoke, causing everyone to turn their heads to see Finral standing in front of another entrance of the big area.

"Finral!" Joyeues, Buster, Kenzan and Tetsuo exclaimed in a relived tone of voice.

"What kept you?" Gauche asked in a blank tone of voice.

"Hey! This place is difficult to navigate, you know. My spatial magic is completely useless in travelling around the Seabed Temple." Finral explained whilst feeling relived that he managed to rescue Kenzan and Tetsuo from getting hit.

"I expect nothing less from the "wheels" of the Black Bulls." Gauche said, still in a blank tone of voice.

"I'm your superior! Have some respect!" Finral exclaimed to the Black Bull mirror Mage, but only fell on deaf ears.

It was then that the Black Bull spatial Mage notice the falling forms of Magna and Luck.

"Did those two….got beaten by that guy?" Finral questioned in his head whilst glancing towards Vetto before shuddering in fear.

"Yep! It was him alright!" Finral thought before using his magic, opening a portal underneath Magna and Luck, causing the both of them to fall through and appear next to him.

"So the Black Bulls have a spatial Mage in their ranks? That's unexpected, considering their reputation." Vetto commented as he stare at Finral.

"Gah! Don't come near me!" Finral exclaimed as he backed away slightly.

"Hehehe. Don't worry, you get your share of despair soon." Vetto said, causing Finral to sweat slightly.

"That isn't encouraging at all!" Finral shouted in his head.

"Wimp." Gauche simply said as he took note of Finral's shaking body.

"Now. Let's get back to the fighting, shall we." Vetto said as he turned his attention towards Joyeues and Buster.

"Are you ready, Joyeues?" Buster asked as he got Gekido at the ready.

"Yes, Sir." Joyeues responded as she prepare herself with Argent-Couronne.

"Hope you two are read/Fire Creation Magic: Flame Dragon's Brilliant Flames!" A voice shouted, cutting off Vetto just as a stream of fire suddenly burst out of a third entrance to the open space.

Unfortunately, Vetto managed to jump out of the way, but felt the intense heat coming off the flames.

The others became stunned at the sudden attack.

"Oh come on! How did you managed to avoid that!?" A voice shouted, causing everyone to turn their heads towards the third entrance and saw Saber and Kaito appearing.

"Saber! Glad to see that you manage to make it." Buster said with a relived smile under his helmet, before glancing towards Kaito and recognizing him as one of the Temple Knights.

"Sorry for being late. Did we miss much?" Saber asked as he and Kaito approach Buster and Joyeues.

"Not much. However, we are struggling against Vetto and Magna and Luck are already down." Buster explained, causing Saber's eyes to widen.

"What about my father? His Mana was in this area?" Kaito asked, becoming worried.

"Kahono is taking your father to safety…..?" Joyeues explained before realizing something.

"You're Kahono's brother?" Joyeues asked in a slight surprise tone of voice.

"That's correct, I'm the dancer whilst she's the singer of our small duo." Kaito explained, causing Joyeues to nod her head slightly.

"Have you seen the others?" Buster asked, sounding slightly serious.

"Blades is back the way we came, recovering his fight with Zoous, and Chamry and Grey are with him." Saber replied, causing Buster and Joyeues to widen their eyes.

"Zoous is here?!" Joyeues shouted in a shock tone of voice.

"No, he disappeared after we fought him." Kaito explained, causing Joyeues to let out a sigh of relief at the fact they won't have to fight both Vetto and Zoous.

"If you finished your small reunion, there's still a battle to be fought." Vetto said as he took a few steps forward.

"Don't worry, we haven't forgotten you at all." Saber said with a smirk under his helmet as he got Rekka at the ready.

"We make sure that you never have intrude on our home in the first place." Kaito said as he got himself ready as well.

"Step forward if you have the courage then." Vetto said in an "encouraging" way.

"You ask for it then!" Saber said before he and Kaito charged towards Vetto.

"Even though Vetto is a strong opponent. The most important thing I need to avoid is…" Saber thought before ducking under Kaito's attack who is under the influence of his magic.

"Kaito's bizarre movements!" Saber thought as he swing Rekka once he found an opening in Kaito's attacks.

"….Who is Saber avoiding? Vetto's or Kaito's attacks?" Joyeues asked as she watch the swordsman of flames jumped to the side of one of Kaito's sword swings.

"Good question." Buster responded before chuckling slightly.

"Tch. This guy can read my sword movements." Kaito thought with a slight annoyed expression on his face as he swing one of his swords, but only for it to get deflected by Vetto's bear claws.

"What the heck are you? A fighter or a dancer?" Vetto asked as he throw a punch towards Kaito.

Due to his dance magic, Kaito swiftly dodge the attack before attacking Vetto in a spin-like movement.

"Finally! A place that I won't get hit by Kaito's magic!" Saber exclaimed in joy within in his head as the swordsman of flames decided to attack the member of the "Third Eye" from the opposite side of Kaito.

"Attempting a pincer-like style of attack, are we?" Vetto thought in his head before successfully swatting Kaito away.

Keeping up with the momentum, Vetto struck Saber.

"Ohf!" The swordsman of flames grunted as he got thrown back.

"Even though Licht said that Saber is a part of the endgame, that doesn't mean that I can be soft on him." Vetto thought just as Saber got back up.

"I'm not down just yet!" Saber shouted as he rushed towards Vetto.

This caused a grin to appear on Vetto's face.

"I'm not either!" Kaito shouted as he rejoined the fight. The swordsman of flames and the Temple Knight managed to keep up with the brute force that Vetto is putting behind his attacks.

"Kaito! Get back!" Saber shouted, causing Kaito to do so whilst becoming curious.

"Fire Creation Magic: Flame Dragon's Exploding Ring!" Saber shouted, causing a fire-made ring to appear in front of Vetto before exploding, causing smoke to fill the air around the member of the "Third Eye".

"Nice one, Saber." Kaito said as he stood next to Saber.

"That must have done some damage, that was a point-blank attack after all." Saber thought in a hopeful tone of voice.

"Don't get you hopes up, Saber. Magna and Luck did a combined spell….but Vetto didn't receive any damage." Joyeues explained, causing Saber to widened his eyes.

"W-what?!" Saber asked in a shock tone of voice.

It was then that the swordsman of flames spotted the fallen forms of Magna and Luck.

This cause Saber to tighten his grip on Rekka.

"What was that attack supposed to be? A smokescreen?" Vetto's voice asked through the smoke and after a few seconds, the smoke disappeared.

"S-seriously? No damage at all….." Saber muttered in a stunned tone of voice as he saw how completely unharmed Vetto is.

"Told you so." Joyeues said simply.

"Useless. All of your attacks are useless." Vetto said before charging forwards.

This cause the Magic Knight and Temple Knight to scatter.

"Hiya!" Kenzan shouted as she lunged towards Vetto, twin blades of Hayate at the ready.

"Her again." Vetto thought as he step to the side of one of Hayate's blades before throwing an attack of his own towards Kenzan.

The swords-woman of the winds managed to cross her two blades just in time to avoid getting the brute force of the attack, but still end up getting flown into the air.

When Kenzan was about to hit the ceiling, she managed to spin her body so that only her feet touched the stone ceiling.

"Heads up!" Kenzan called as she kicked off the ceiling, heading straight back to Vetto.

"She's fast." Vetto thought as he crossed his arms just in time for the twin blades of Hayate to hit him.

Cracks started to appear across the ground from the point of impact.

"There was some force behind that attack….but not enough to harm me." Vetto said, causing a frown to appear underneath Kenzan's helmet.

"Fire Creation Magic: Flame Dragon's Fangs!" Saber shouted before firing the dagger-like bullets towards the member of the "Third Eye".

Kenzan managed to kick herself away from Vetto just as Saber's attack hit him.

"A bit of a warning next time!" Kenzan called, causing a sheepish smile to appear underneath Saber's helmet.

However, before the swordsman of flames can respond back to the swords-woman of the wind, Vetto took the opportunity to attack him.

"I really need to be careful and not to get hit by those claws." Saber thought as his mind turn towards the fallen forms of Magna and Luck.

As Vetto kept his attention on Saber, Kenzan performed a sneak attack on the member of the "Third Eye", striking him on the back.

"Why you…" Vetto muttered as he attempted to hit Kenzan with his backhand whilst twisting his body slightly.

Luckily, Kenzan managed to avoid the attack by doing a backflip. Saber took the opportunity to swing Rekka and Vetto's torso and managed to land a good hit.

Not wanting to lose the momentum, Saber's Grimoire started to open.

"Fire Creation Magic: Flame Dragon's Claw!" Saber shouted and his arm got covered in flames before taking the shape of a claw.

"Huh. Taking a page out of my book I see." Vetto said just as Saber swing his new claw at him.

However, Vetto managed to deflect Saber's claw.

With Kenzan, her Grimoire started to open before landing on a page.

"Wind Creation Magic: Wind Ninja's Air Slice!" Kenzan announced before releasing numerous air-slashes towards Vetto.

The member of the "Third Eye" grunted slightly as the attacks struck him which lead to Saber managing to land a successful strike with his claw.

This caused Vetto to growl in anger before swiping an arm towards Saber, aiming to hit the swordsman of flames with the actually claws.

Sparks fly off Saber's armor as Vetto's attack him, causing the swordsman of flames to skid across the ground for a few seconds before stopping.

As Saber stood up, his Grimoire started to flip through it's pages.

"Fire Magic: Salamander's Soul Burst!" Saber shouted and golden flames burst into life and wrap around the blade of Rekka.

"So, you deciding to use my friend's magic against me." Vetto commented as he stared at the golden flames.

"You bet I am!" Saber responded as he was about to swing Rekka.

"Don't attack just yet, Saber." Kenzan said as she appeared next to the swordsman of flames, her Grimoire opening.

"Wind Creation Magic: Wind Ninja's Star Hurricane!" Kenzan shouted, causing a green star-shape to appear beneath Vetto before starting to spin.

"What the-!" Vetto began to say just as the star increased it's speed and suddenly a hurricane burst forth, trapping Vetto in the middle.

"Now, Saber. Burn that guy right up!" Kenzan exclaimed, causing Saber to nod his head before swinging the flame covered Rekka.

The temperature of the room suddenly increased as Salamander's flames fused with Kenzan's spell, creating a whirlwind of flames.

"S-so hot! So that's the flames that Rekka have absorbed from the great spirit of fire, Salamander." Joyeues thought as she step took a step back, she only have been told that Asta managed to survive an attack from Salamander by Rekka absorbing the flames.

Once the flames and wind died down, everyone held their breaths as they tried to see anything through the thick smoke.

"(cough) (cough) That attack certainly had power behind it. I think that attack actually cause some damage." A voice spoke through the smoke, causing everyone to widen their eyes.

"He's still alive?!" Everyone thought just as the smoke disappeared, revealing Vetto whose skin has turned black.

"Shall we give him another flame/hurricane attack?" Saber asked Kenzan whilst preparing himself.

"No, you two step back now. Let the rest of us have a turn." Joyeues responded as she walked forward.

"Hey! There's no such things has taking "turns" in battle." Kenzan said in an annoyed tone of voice.

"Are you arguing with royalty?" Joyeues asked with a glare underneath her helmet.

The swords-woman of the winds was about to speak again, but Saber placed a hand on Kenzan's shoulder.

"There's no point in arguing with Joyeues when she is in her "royalty" mode." Saber explained, causing Kenzan to become silent for a few seconds before sadly nodding her head.

This cause Joyeues to smirk under her helmet before turning her attention towards Vetto.

"Now. Let's cool you off." Joyeues said just as her Grimoire opened and land on a page.

"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Raging Wave!" Joyeues shouted and summoned a giant wave of water which headed straight towards Vetto.

"I don't think I can avoid this attack." Vetto thought before getting into a defensive stance.

However, the stance wasn't really good as the member of the "Third Eye" was taken off his feet and crashed into a wall.

The water summoned through Joyeue's spell went everywhere.

"Whoa!" Buster exclaimed as he began to create a dome out of rock.

"Hang on a minute! Leave some space for us!" Kenzan exclaimed as she and Saber joined Buster.

Gauche and Tetsuo managed to move back into one of the tunnels, avoiding most of the water.

"Gah!" Finral exclaimed in fright before opening a portal to avoid getting hit by the water, whilst also protecting Magna and Luck.

"Hehehe. Maybe you should have chosen and different spell." Kaito suggested with a small smirk on his face, him being the only one who didn't ran away from the water.

"Hmf! It's their fault for being too close to me." Joyeues responded in a haughty tone of voice.

However, on the inside, the swords-woman of steel is panicking.

"Hah! Your own spell caused everyone to run or hide." Vetto spoke as he approach Joyeues and Kaito, his skin look much cleaner than it was before.

"She's isn't alone you know." Kaito said as he got himself ready.

"If you want to die so badly, then come." Vetto said with a grin on his face.

Without a moment hesitation, both Joyeues and Kaito changed towards the member of the "Third Eye".

"Now I see why Saber has trouble fighting alongside Kaito." Joyeues thought just as the swords-woman of steel saw an incoming random attack from Kaito from the corner of her eyes.

"However, I'm pretty good with my footwork." Joyeues thought as she step to the side of attack, allowing Kaito to execute his attack successfully….even though the impact of the attack had little to no effect against Vetto.

Joyeues managed to slip through another of Kaito's attack and struck Vetto.

"These two aren't exactly speed-types of fighters, but their attacks seemed to be fluid." Vetto thought as he guard against the in coming attacks.

"Luckily, I can work with that." Vetto thought just as his Grimoire started to glow.

"Beast Magic: Cheetah Charge." Vetto said as his speed suddenly increased.

The Magic Knight's and Temple Knight's eyes widened before quickly diving to the sides.

"He's just gotten much faster! Can we keep up?" Kaito wondered in his head as his somehow managed to dodge one of Vetto's attacks, thanks to the influenced of his dance magic.

The Magic Knight and Temple Knight ended up going on the defensive against the brutal attacks that Vetto throw at them.

"So is this all you have!? You're falling faster onto the pits of despair if you don't do anything soon!" Vetto shouted as he kept on throwing punches at the two.

"Kai...to. Jump…..back…" Joyeues said through gritted teeth as she used the flat side of Argent-Couronne to block Vetto's attacks.

This cause the Temple Knight to become confused but did as he was told and jump back with Joyeues joining a few seconds later, making Vetto to stumble slightly.

"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Spikes!" Joyeues shouted before sending water-made spikes straight towards Vetto.

"This spell again." Vetto thought as he jump backwards himself to avoid the attack.

However, the member of the "Third Eye" sensed a presence quickly approaching him, causing Vetto to glance over his shoulder to see Kaito with his swords at the ready.

"Why have you decided to attack our home? We, the sea-dwellers of the Seabed Temple live simple lives, praying to the sea god with the aid of our magic. Why are you absolutely determined to destroy our home?" Kaito questioned Vetto as he swing his swords at the member of the "Third Eye".

"That is something I don't need to tell you. Plus…..I don't give a damn about your way of live on the bottom of the ocean." Vetto responded, causing an angry expression to appear on Kaito's face.

"GHHAAAAAAA!" The Temple Knight shouted before swinging a sword straight towards Vetto's neck.

"How predictable." Vetto muttered before grabbing Kaito's neck, him being much quicker.

"Gah..." Kaito grunted slightly as he started to loose air.

"I need to help him!" Joyeues exclaimed in her head as she began to rush towards Vetto.

"If I can get a good angle with my "Reflect Refrain" spell, then maybe I can free him." Gauche thought as he frown slightly, trying to get a good angle to hit Vetto with a powerful attack.

"Release my brother this instant!" A voice suddenly shouted, causing everyone to jump.


And there we go, Saber and Kaito have joined the battle.

So in Black Clover, Gordon has managed to bring all of the Black Bulls together, apart from Nacht, to face against Moris/Lucifero. This chapter also revealed the new naming of Grey's magic, transmutation magic. It's a bit of a disappointment that the next chapter afterwards isn't a continuation of the battle since Asta just simply knocked Moris out, but its kind of nice that we more of Yami's past, such as his first encounters with the other captains, plus Mereleone. The chapter also revealed that darkness magic is connected to the underworld. But even all of that, it looks like that the second gate is about to open.

So we got the name and a partial image of the 2071 Rider that will appearing "Beyond Generations", Kamen Rider Century. I actually heard the name "Century" a while back, but I thought that it was a temporary name since he's from the year 2071, the 100th year of the Kamen Rider franchise, but it kind of makes sense we have a Rider named "Decade". Although it would make more sense if "Century" goes to the primary Rider. From the image, he kind of remind me of Kamen Rider Zero-One but with the colours of blue and white. From the looks of things, it seems that Century will be a technology-type not a ancient-type that I guessed, oh well.

Please review and until next time.

Starwing1995: Thanks for telling me.

Dragon Rider 66:

1) Whilst it is nice that all of the Blacks Bulls are having their moment within the arc, I rather think that it was just Vanessa, Gordon, Gauche, Grey, Henry, Charmy and Nero for that section because Asta, Noelle, Magna, Luck and Zora already have their turn with their fights.

2) True, whilst it isn't the idea I had in mind, at least the show is sticking with Devil-related ideas.

3) Yep, OOO is returning with the original OOO being the villain, Enji gaining complete modified version of his Tajadol form, resembling Ankh's Greeed form, Birth gaining new form Ankh himself returning. Also a new Core-Medal Combo will be appearing, not sure on who will be using the new combo though. Yes, it will be interesting if the other Kamen Riders do their own anniversary films.

4) We just have to wait and see what Mr Tabata does next. However, one of things I can see happening during the aftermath of the arc is Nozel finally telling Nebra and Solid, plus Fuegoleon and Mereleone if possible, the real cause of Acier's death...which may end up causing him to gain a burn mark from a angry Mereleone.

5) Not sure about Yuri, but Magna will certainly go to Asta for help.

6) It would be interesting to see Sakura having a female Devil for the source for her powers.

7) The Riders will start to question about who would be the potential people that can kill them, the Megid or a angry Reika.

8) So it could be that the power-up form will go to Revi, the super form will go to Vice and then the super form go to both of them.

9) That could happen, I'll think about that.

10) Maybe, maybe not. You just have wait and see if Noelle joins Asta and Donna on their quest to Avalon.

11) I guess Noelle can gain spells that have some steel elements influenced into them.

Raidentensho: Wizard in the story will be interesting, I can just see Julius going to his fan-boy mode when he sees that Wizard can wield all four main attributes, plus light(?) if you count his Infinity form.
