After gaining control of her power, Noelle was able to achieve a new spell called Sea Dragon's Cradle that helped them get to the Underwater Temple. Looking at the stairs towards the temple she recalled their encounter with Kahono, a mage that uses her voice for healing, however disappeared as soon as her friends encouraged her to control her powers that night.
'Where did she go?' Her thought was halted as the door gave a thud for being closed by the people of the temple. Following her friends, they encounter a perverted high priest when everything goes black.

A glowing jewel caught her attention, flying through the temple to look for the magic stone, Nero decided to give it to Asta after their mission. Slowly landing near the jewel, she thought it was the magic stone they needed when a voice echoed in her head.
"Will you help me?" her eyes widened as the jewel talked to her, flapping her wings to leave. "Please" as soon as those words were said, a transparent figure appeared, her hair cascading down her ankle while her blue eyes looked at her with longing, her mouth moved to whisper something she thought no one would know. Deciding to talk as she opened her beak when a tremendous mana was felt around the temple, feeling the dangerous presence of their enemy she decided to check on Asta and his members, pausing as she looked back at the jewel.
"Please bring me, I may help you" soon the light went out.
Nodding, she secured the dormant jewel in her beak and flew.

Looking at the beast, his green eyes narrowed at the speed of the battle. Asta held his sword tightly as he advanced towards the enemy, looking on the ground as his seniors pushed themselves to their limits; however, the amount of their power still did not scratch Vetto - one of the three elves on the squad of Eye of the Midnight Sun's Third Eye. Turning his head, he saw Noelle near the fallen members, he was grateful to her as he was given time to be healed by Kahono.
Gasping for air, his hands clutch tightly the hilt of his demon sword. 'Not yet' his mantra echoed in his mind as he ignored the pain on his body. Hearing the flapping of wings, he knows that Nero arrived at the scene, going near him only to drop something in his pocket.
"You…" Vetto started, "you have the jewel with you, it's time to end this you insects" chuckling as he unleashed his power. Sensing something odd, he looked down on his pocket and a certain glow was released before it envelops Vetto in a red mana.
'Evil' his heart pounded on his chest when he reappeared in front of him, rushing as the spatial dimension was open, his hands were aching from being crushed yet remained his grasp to the sword thanks to Vanessa's thread.
"Asta!" Finral shouted, "please believe in me"
Giving him a grin, "I don't know what's happening, but I trust you, 100%" he shouted back as he was pulled by a thread to escape into being hit by Vetto.

Meanwhile, Yami stayed in his seat, seeing through the hologram his members being taken down and fighting the beast. He seems to remain unfazed by the situation but his blood boiled at being stuck in that situation, being trap inside a dimension clutching his sword, he released a smoke from his mouth as the light from the cigar shorten, a pitch black of shadow began to be released from his sword as his anger amplify his magic.
'Kid'

"DESPAIR!"
Looking around him, everything seems to move so fast. His friends gathering around him, his enemy releasing a self-destructing power, their captain landing in front of him before releasing his sword.
"Dark Magic: Dark Cloak Dimension Slash"
The chuckling sound of Vetto in his dome. Trying to shield his eyes from the impact, a bright light shielded all of them as the time stopped. His eyes widened, 'everything's going to be okay' a feminine voice whispered in his ears. A second came by before everything went to normal and the ground shook from their captain's power.
