"What is going on? The airship is not supposed to have such sounds." Asta quickly moves and looks out of the main deck. In the distance somewhere to the south of the airship,a massive crator with magma in it and bunch of people seems to be running away from something.
Soon the ground begins floating and shoots towards the small airship like cannon balls but were stopped by a barrier.
"HUMANS. YOU SHOULD HAVE NOT CROSSED YOUR BOUNDARIES." a deafening roars comes and with it came a shockwave. "You must be kidding me right?" Asta says as he looks at the giant winged creature that just emerged from the nearby mountain. A cyan coloured dragon with four horns on its head with it's size being one-fourth of the his airship rips through the ground and soars to the skies.
With a wave of its claws, massive amount of nearby forest floats and turns into big piles of soil,trees and rocks. "Comet shower" the dragon says and the thousands of many cluster launches themselves at the smaller airship. The smaller airship dodges and turns to bigger airship before rushing towards it at full speed.
"This bastards" Asta says while clutching his fists, he turns to gauche who seems to have also understood the situation. They nod at eachother before bringing out their grimoires. "They plan to use everyone as bait to escape. I will stop them, can you protect against those boulders?" Asta asks, "leave it to me. Reflection magic...Mirror force." Gauche casts his magic and creates a bunch of mirrors that spat out similar boulders that went and collided with those coming at their airship. Asta brakes through the glass and jumps out, he activated his wings and a lighter armor he had as a spare.
"No you don't you punks." Asta flew towards the smaller airship at high speed, he brings out Goliath (Demon- slayer) and brakes through both the barrier and the ship Directly, leaving behind a hole in it.
Asta turns mid air and looks behind him to see a bunch of people with scars on their faces with some sort of sort of egg with rock scales. "Sick bastards" Asta says as he looks at the bunch with a lot of disgust. He sweeps in again but is blocked by a swordsman with a shield. "Leave us alone you lowly peasant." Was what asta heard and it was enough for him to let go of his last bit of mercy, he overpowered the egg thief by releasing his ki at half force but suddenly a reaction he didn't expect happened. A small amount of ki and anti-mana mixed and asta's sword strike cleaved the ship in half. "Huh?" Were the only words asta could find and the next second the ship begin falling in two directions, he quickly grabs the egg and soars to skies again like a bird, "What was that?" Asta said to himself.
Hostility, pure frenzied hostility was what asta felt, his body instinctively used a major burst of wind to evade as the giant dragon bites at asta, sweat drops down from his forehead, he wobbles in the air and soon saw a giant claw coming straight at him, he wields Goliath and leaves a cut in the dragon's palm as he gets hit by the full force, redirecting the power he deflects the other claw attack from dragon's other hand while cutting away one of the claws, the dragon roars not from pain but fury and uses it's magic.
Asta quickly raises Goliath and begins using it's barrier ability, he puts the egg on the sword while bringing out a giant one bladed axe. "I have to distract it away from the ship." Asta says to himself as he watches a bunch of rock pillar emerges from the ground and soars towards the airship, hitting it near the deck but most important places were safeguard by Gauche and a bunch of other mages who came to help.
Like a arrow, asta shots himself towards the dragon, running across the dragon's arm while dragging the axe behind him, "Enrage" Asta uses the first ability of Tyrant(the double handed axe), Anti-magic embedded itself throughout his body and acted as additional artificial muscles while granting him higher resistance to blunt strikes. Another pair of wings comes out of his back giving him even more speed but less control as he blasts straight through a bunch of boulders flung his way. 'i have to finish it quick, I can't hold it for long.' asta thinks as the painful experience of using Enrage overburdens his stamina and anti-magic reserves and consumption. He quickly arrives near the dragon's mouth and avoids a bite to appear to side. He raises his axe and strikes down with full force, UNYIELDING. The strike hits the dragon but does not visible damage except staggering it as it was hit on the forehead, the only damage is a crack on one of the scales.
"I AM HELPING YOU" Asta screamed at the top of his voice but before the dragon could understand the words , it has already stuck back. Asta gets hit with a straight sweep from side and flew away like a ragdoll and got hit by a tail sweep as he was flying away before being hit with a giant boulder to the body. He crashes down to the ground, leaving a giant crator behind and gets buried in the rubble. "Help?" The dragon momentarily comes out of its frenzy and finds it's egg on a giant black sword just somewhere near it's feet, the sword's darkness fades as it grows smaller and begins falling as the barrier fades. Quickly the dragon pulled back it's egg with its Attraction magic right onto it's palm and finally let's go of its rage. It looks around to find the vessel that stole away it's egg crashed on the ground somewhere in the distance and looks at the place where Asta crashed onto.
"That hurt like hell." Asta says as he blasts away the rubble above him and barely stands, his clothes are ripped and his head is bleeding, blood is coming out of his mouth and he feels some broken bones across his body. " I am exhausted. " Asta says as his anti-magic reserves run out and he falls onto ground again, he barely returns Goliath and Tyrant to the grimoire and it falls back into Asta's hands next second. He watches in exhaustion as his body is engulfed in a cyan light, he watches as the dragon lands somewhere to side and comes closer. With a wave of dragon's magic asta feels himself flying and next second he is on the dragon's palm, right beside the egg. " You have my apology Human, I was too blinded by rage to differentiate foe and friend... As a reward you can ask anything what you want." The dragon says in a somewhat tired and deep voice. Asta replies " I did what I had too, I don't need anything." " None can do, the dragons pay back kindness and hatred alike. Your body seems to be trained to its max potential without using aura, I think this might help you a bit." The next second Asta felt a surge of pain as dragon blood begins seeping into his skin.
