The Replica Magic Starting from Black Four

Chapter 177 Demon Slayer vs. Demon of the Dead! Asta, who has actually become weaker!
The teasing voice of Miki and the appearance of the word "Yuno".

Asta, whose eyes had rolled back and who had lost consciousness, trembled slightly, and even his head, which had been lowered, showed signs of lifting.

He's still conscious?

The Demon Queen noticed Astaya's reaction, and a hint of surprise flashed in her cold eyes, which was then replaced by indifference again.

Slender fingers with black nail polish reached out and grabbed Asta.

Swish!
Asta's will to resist vanished once more, returning him to a state of unconsciousness, and the Demon-Slaying Sword pointed directly at the tree.

"The divination did indeed go astray, but the result was surprisingly good."

"You actually possess healing magic of this level, very good! You must regret not escaping!"

"From this day forward, you too shall become my puppet, to atone for your sins of disrespect."

The Demon Queen's face showed a satisfied expression.

A sword that repels all magic.

An elf, plus restorative magic that can regenerate severed limbs.

There's also Banatha, who awakened the magic of fate.

This series of good things brought a smile to the face of even the usually aloof Demon Queen.

“Cut off his limbs.”

The Demon Queen's deep, cold voice rang out.

With a slight flap, Asta's half-black bat wing transformed into a black streak of light and charged towards Mumu once again!

The chaotic black anti-magic fluctuations made Banasa and the others on the side feel oppressed, and they all looked at Yuki with worried expressions.
After all, before this, Miki had already been defeated by Asta once, and had lost an arm in the process.

Anti-magic power, capable of nullifying all magic, is a natural nemesis to all mages. If Asta were on their side, he would be a trustworthy and reliable ally.

But now Asta is controlled by the Demon Queen.

For Banatha and the others, it was a disaster.

Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Asta appeared beside Yuki, and the Demon Slayer Sword, wrapped in lightning-shaped black anti-magic energy, suddenly slashed down!

Black Bull, Mars, and the others felt their hearts leap into their throats.

Without knowing the power of fate magic, the tree before them could be considered the only one capable of standing up to the Demon Queen.

when--

A deafening metallic clang rang out!

The ground cracked with a "crack".

The ground beneath Mumu's feet sank slightly as he held the white Demon Slayer Sword in his left hand, blocking the fierce slash of the black Demon Slayer Sword.

Lower your arm!

Mogi felt a slight shock as he sensed the power emanating from the black Demon-Slaying Sword.

His body had been enhanced by beast magic, especially with the added power of beast magic; a casual punch from him could create a deep crater in the ground.
Under such circumstances, Asta's attack actually made him feel the pressure of power. Yuki was a little surprised, but only a little surprised!

He never underestimated the power of anti-magic, not to mention the Demon Queen's blood magic, which had already strengthened Asta's entire body.

Momo's eyes opened slightly.

His entire body was instantly covered in silver, magical skin, which changed his aura.

hiss-

With a piercing tearing sound as the two blades rubbed together.

With a jerk of his left arm, Mumu deflected Asta's black Demon Slayer Sword.

Swish!
Asta, whose eyes were white, saw that his attack had failed. With another flap of his black wings, he moved like lightning and appeared above Momo's head.

The black demon-slaying sword cleaved through the air once more!

when!
Another piercing buzzing sound.

The white demon sword in Miki's hand once again blocked Asta's attack.

Whoosh! !

Asta's figure flickered continuously, and in the vision of Banassa and the others, Asta turned into a series of black afterimages, surrounding the tree from top to bottom.

The black Demon-Slaying Sword transformed into dense black light.

The white demon sword transformed into a white afterimage.

boom! boom! boom!
The two weapons clashed repeatedly, sparks flying everywhere, and the astonishing impact spread outwards!

There were no terrifying magical fluctuations, no horrifying magic; there was only the pure clash of power between the two individuals.

Boom!

The ground around the two men kept cracking and exploding, seemingly unable to withstand the impact of their clashing weapons!
Banasa and the others stared blankly at the terrifying scene of the battle between Mumu and Asta ahead.

Finral's eyes widened, his throat moved involuntarily, and his lips went dry.

This is a fierce and violent offensive!

Finral felt that these two were already on par with Captain Yami.

The Demon Queen's eyes showed surprise.

Having previously defeated Mogi, she thought she could easily defeat him.

No matter how powerful the fire lizard's magic is, with the existence of anti-magic, no magic is meaningful.

But Miki actually blocked Asta, which was something the Demon Queen hadn't expected!

If the opponent was able to block Asta's attack from the beginning, what was the situation when he had his arm cut off and was blasted away by Asta?
boom!
An even louder impact was heard.

With a serious expression, Miki still held the white Demon Sword in one hand, blocking Asta's fierce slash once again.

"Very powerful!"

"It's very fast too!"

"but……"

Mogi, who had been holding the white Demon Sword in one hand, now held it with both hands. He exerted force with both arms simultaneously, and his streamlined muscles appeared on his arms as he suddenly lifted them upwards.

The sudden burst of power pushed back the black demonic barrier that Asta was pressing down with both hands!
Yuki stared almost directly into Asta's pale eyes, his tone calm: "However, when you're being controlled, your attacks are too straightforward; in reality, you've become weaker!"

Asta's true strength lies not only in his "black state" after the anti-magic amplification.

There's also swordsmanship, beast-like instincts, unwavering willpower, and the ability to sense ki that he learned from Yami!

Each of these abilities greatly enhances Asta's combat capabilities.

Asta, who was controlled by the Demon Queen, basically lost the latter four abilities.

To Asta, who also possessed ki, Asta's attacks were nothing more than mechanical movements, so rigid that it was hard not to dodge them.

In this situation, Asta is not what weakens him for Mochi.

Swish!
Momoki lifted one leg, transforming it into a whip kick.

The silver, magical skin, flowing like water, unleashed terrifying force, kicking Asta in the left half of his chest, which was not covered by anti-magic.

There was a "click".

Asta's left chest caved in, and the sound of ribs breaking could be heard.

Boom!

Asta was instantly kicked away, transforming into a black meteor that crashed into the distant forest.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room fell silent.

Momo swung the white Demon Sword downwards, then turned to look at the Demon Queen diagonally opposite him, her expression silent and her eyes cold.

"There has never been any perfect magic in this world, let alone perfect magic from a mage."

"Anti-magic powers are indeed strong, but Asta is not!"

With her chin slightly raised, Mumu spoke calmly to the Demon Queen, continuing:
"As long as you are faster and stronger, then so-called anti-magic is no threat. That is Asta's weakness."

"Besides, Asta, whom you've been controlling, may seem stronger, but in my eyes, he's become weaker!"

Even if Asta didn't control anti-magic, he could still be defeated using wide-range magic or skillful techniques. However...

Once Asta gains control of anti-magic, there is only one way to defeat him: to have greater speed and strength than him!
The simpler the method, the more useful it is.

Upon hearing Yuki mention "Asta's weakness," Finral, Mars, and the others exchanged strange glances.

It’s easy to say!
With the speed and power Asta just displayed, few people could catch up.

As one of the Eight Generals, Mars was well aware of the difference between them.

He had fought Asta back in the Demon Palace, and even the weak Asta at that time was too much for him to handle, let alone the Asta of today.

In Mars's view, only a martial arts mage could fight Asta, but such mages were extremely rare.

not to mention.

The martial arts faction also uses close-range magic in combat. For example, Professor Vanjeel relies on wind magic to condense a sword blade. However, if you were to fight Asta with a weapon formed from magic, it would be tantamount to suicide.

Therefore, a sturdy physical weapon is also needed!

In a combat environment where magic is the primary mode of warfare, how many mages would use purely physical weapons?

Mars could tell that Mumu was able to suppress Asta because of that white sword.

The ability to nullify all magic is simply unreasonable!
"monster!"

Mars uttered two words.

This word not only describes Asta, but also Miki. Mars even felt that Miki was more like a monster than Asta.

Asta's situation can still be analyzed.

But for him, the wood was shrouded in mystery.

Thinking about the bet on the diamond kingdom.

Mars' heart sank. He suddenly realized that if he clashed with Yuki, even if all eight of them joined forces, they might not have a chance of winning.

"That sword..."

The Demon Queen's cold gaze flashed when she saw the white demon in Miki's hand.

She suddenly realized that there had been quite a few unexpected events today.

"Who do you think you are! How dare you talk to me like that!"

"The sin of blasphemy!"

Upon hearing the tone of Yumu's voice, the Demon Queen suddenly unleashed a chilling aura, and crimson magic power appeared around her body like blood.

"Blood magic - blood tide of puppets!"

An amazing surge of magic.

A blood-red line, like a vein, appeared all over Yumu in an instant, swarming in densely!

"Fire Magic - Whirlpool Fire Pillar!"

With a low shout, the fire lizard perched on his shoulder flicked its tail.

A surging flame erupted from the center of the log, and a huge vortex of fire shot into the sky, scorching and pulverizing all the dense, blood vessel-like red threads that swarmed towards it!
With the help of the fire lizard, the power of the fire magic used by Mumu was increased by more than three times, and the most obvious increase was in the temperature of the flames, which was raised to a high temperature of about 1,000 degrees Celsius!
This is just ordinary fire magic; once elven magic is used, its power and temperature will increase even further.

A scorching heatwave swept all around!
Under such intense heat, the constantly flowing blood puppet threads were rapidly evaporated.

"Even blood magic is composed of water. Since it's water, I can evaporate it!"

Standing amidst the terrifying fiery tornado, Miki's cold voice rang out from the center of the pillar of fire:
"Fire Elf Magic - Salamander Breath!"

"Roar!"

The fire lizard perched on my shoulder opened its mouth and spewed a breath forward.

Despite being smaller than a fist, the petite figure, with just a single exhale, unleashed a torrent of flames that burst forth like a dam breaking, instantly transforming the area into a sea of ​​fire!

Boom!

The raging flames almost instantly engulfed everything in front of them!
Finral felt the heat wave hit him, instinctively squinted his eyes, and cried out, "It's so hot! It's so hot!"

"This temperature is too high!"

Noelle looked at Mumu and the Demon Queen, who were already engulfed in flames, her face pale.

Although they were not within the range of the magic's attack, the heat wave generated by the magic still made them feel as if their whole body was being burned.

"No, if this continues, we'll be roasted alive!"

Finral was sweating profusely; his clothes were quickly soaked through and then dried by the fire. He spoke weakly.

Banatha understood the situation, but they were bound by the blood-red cross and unable to leave.

Even Noelle, who had broken free from the blood-red cross's restraints, was still trapped in the blood-red swamp beneath the cross and had no way to leave the area.

"Meow~"

A cat meowed.

A dark red cat appeared on Banatha's head at some point and meowed softly.

In an instant!
Banasa and the others immediately felt the scorching heat wave that had been hitting them disappear.

"What kind of magic is this?" Noelle asked in astonishment, her light purple eyes looking at the dark red cat.

Before Banatha could speak, everyone noticed that the "Blood Execution Ground" magic that had trapped them was being rapidly evaporated and weakened by the flames released by Mumu.

the other side.

The Demon Queen, shrouded in raging flames, suddenly let out a cold snort.

A blood-red circular barrier suddenly appeared from the sea of ​​fire, and then rapidly expanded, disappearing from everything in its path.

In the blink of an eye.

The flames released by the fire lizard were swept away by the blood-red barrier.

The Demon Queen reappeared, completely unharmed.

"Don't be so arrogant, kid!"

"You have no idea what perfection is!"

The Demon Queen flicked her sleeve, her cold gaze filled with disgust, and made a grabbing motion towards the void.

The outward-expanding crimson circular barrier suddenly contracted, forming a red blood sphere the size of a basketball in mid-air!
"As expected of the Demon Queen."

Seeing the Demon Queen unharmed from the attack of the elven magic, Miki glanced again at the red blood orb floating in mid-air and narrowed his eyes.

Whoosh!
There was a sound of explosion breaking through the air.

A black streak of light rushed from the distant forest and suddenly appeared behind Yumu.

The black Demon-Slaying Sword slashed down from mid-air, instantly shattering the swirling pillar of fire that shot into the sky, revealing the figure of the yakki.

when!
After drawing his sword, Miki swung it, and the Demon-Slaying Sword clashed with the Demon-Slaying Sword again, producing a piercing impact sound.

"Over the long course of time, blood magic has become the most perfect magic; it is a power that cannot be burned by fire!"

"Feel this power! You ignorant fool!"

The Demon Queen raised her arm, her five slender fingers making a grasping motion towards the red blood orb, and a chilling voice rang out:
"Blood Creation Magic - The Siren's Gaze!"

Bang - Bang -

The red blood cell, like a heart, suddenly beat twice!

After only two beats, everyone suddenly felt their heartbeats inexplicably synchronize with the sound of those beatings.

Therefore!
The sudden cessation of the red blood cell's beating caused everyone present to feel their hearts stop as well.

Swish!
The black Demon-Slaying Sword sliced ​​across Mumu's chest, tearing open his clothes and revealing his muscular chest.

boom!
With a swift twist of his waist, Miki used the momentum of the rotation to block Asta's Demon-Slaying Sword with the Demon-Slaying Sword.

The sound of his heartbeat had also affected his heartbeat, making his reaction a little slower!
"Curse?"

Mumu quickly looked at the red blood sphere in mid-air, and before he knew it, a crimson eye had emerged from the center of the red blood sphere.
