"Despair! Despair! Everyone, despair for me!" Vetto roared as he charged at Asta.
"Open! Eight Gates Formation!"
"Gate of Shock!"
Asta didn't hesitate any longer. His Chakra flowed wildly throughout his body. Soon, the green energy aura around him transformed into a blue aura that seemed capable of destroying the world. Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and space began to distort. Asta's silver hair stood straight up like a war god, and his blood-red eyes looked down at the three-eyed Vetto like a deity towering above all living beings!
"What is this? Is this a monster!" Vetto's charging footsteps stopped involuntarily. This chilling energy made even him feel fear!
"So cool..." Little stars appeared in Noelle's pink eyes. She had already fed Kahono the healing spring water, but while the healing spring water had healed Kahono's injuries, it hadn't healed Kahono's voice.
"Noelle, you like Asta, don't you!" Kahono asked with a smile.
"Huh? What are you talking about!" Noelle immediately blushed, then said guiltily, "Don't worry, Kahono, I will definitely find a way to heal your voice!"
"It's okay. Even if I can't sing, I can still communicate with you all normally through magic. But I'll look forward to your good news!" Kahono smiled slightly, then looked at her brother and said, "Brother, are you okay~?"
"Don't worry. Except for my leg which can't grow back, all other injuries on my body have healed. Even my magic power and stamina have recovered!" Kiat smiled brightly, trying his best to make his smile look lively. After all, even the dying Magna and Luck hadn't complained, so how could he dare to act like a victim?
"This is..." Gauche led his team as they rushed over. The first thing they saw was Asta, who looked like a Super Saiyan. At this moment, Asta truly gave off the feeling of a war god.
"So cool..." Grey was also stunned by the sight.
"Wow, he's in that state again! Looks like we're set!" Finral's face was covered in tears; finally, he wouldn't have to face the battle himself!
"Asta, do your best!" Charmy waved her small hands. Although she'd had some minor unpleasantness with Asta, in her heart, she really didn't want to see him get hurt.
"Everyone is here!" Vanessa smiled with relief.
"Hey, Magna, are you okay?" Finral noticed Magna was covered in blood and hurriedly asked.
"Damn, I almost died!" Magna said with lingering fear. Honestly, if it hadn't been for the healing spring water Asta gave him, he felt like he really would have died.
"Noelle, give me a rinse. I'm covered in slime, it's disgusting!" Luck said to Noelle after recovering.
"Okay!" Noelle hurriedly waved her wand only to find she had no mana left. Originally, she had been reluctant to drink the healing spring water; after seeing its power, she felt drinking it now was a bit of a waste. However, they were still in a state of combat and the crisis hadn't been resolved; it was only because Asta was pinning down Vetto that everyone had a chance to catch their breath.
So Noelle quickly drank the healing spring water. The feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze was truly wonderful; in an instant, the mana and physical strength she had previously exhausted were fully restored!
"Water Ball!" After being fully resurrected, Noelle fired two water balls, hitting Magna and Luck respectively.
"Aaaagh! Who asked you to pour water on me?! I hate water the most!" Magna quickly released flames to dry himself off, though he did feel much more comfortable afterward.
"Humph! That was a gift from This Princess, you dare to hate it?" Seeing that everyone was fine, Noelle immediately put on her Princess airs again.
Meanwhile, on Asta and Vetto's side, a bizarre scene unfolded. Asta was drinking healing spring water while chasing Vetto down and hacking at him with the demon-slayer sword. This scene was incredibly satisfying for everyone to watch because since Vetto descended upon the seabed, it had always been Vetto chasing and beating others; when had he ever been chased and hacked like this!
"It's the God of War, the Sea God of War!"
"Long live the God of War! God of War, hack that monster to death!" The seabed residents were seething with excitement. They had originally been immersed in the shadow of death, even Gajel, their best fighter, had been beaten half to death. Now Asta's appearance was like that of a savior!
"Asta, hit him! Hit him hard! Make him despair! Despair my ass!" Magna felt so satisfied watching this. Just now, Vetto had beaten him like a grandson, and now Asta was beating Vetto like a grandson. It was so cathartic!
"Is Asta on drugs? Why is he drinking potions while fighting?" Luck asked with a 'pure' and confused look in his eyes.
"Drugged-up Asta is so terrifying!" Charmy trembled as she ate two more pieces of cake. Beside her, a bunch of Sheep Chefs and various delicacies being prepared appeared out of nowhere.
---Requesting Flowers---
"So you're the one who wanted to break Noelle's legs? You? You!" Asta gulped down healing potions while chasing Vetto with the demon-slayer sword. Finally, Vetto could no longer run and tried to stand his ground against Asta, only to be hammered into the ground by Asta like a nail.
"One strike!"
"Two strikes!"
"Let's see how many strikes you can take!" Every time Asta swung a sword strike at Vetto's head, Vetto's body sank a few centimeters deeper into the rock. Eventually, only his head remained above ground, and it was mangled and bloody. His plight was even worse than Magna and Luck's had been!
"What kind of skill is relying on external help? If you have the guts, stop drinking potions!" Vetto had also noticed something fishy. Blue Asta was terrifying, but he seemed to need drugs that stimulated bodily functions to maintain it. So, he boldly speculated that as long as Asta stopped taking the drugs, he would quickly fall out of this state!
...
"Why don't you gouge out your third eye?" Asta laughed. What he didn't know was that after this incident, the legend of the Potion-Taking God of War would be passed down through generations in the seabed...
However, the current situation was delicate. Asta had not opened the full version of the Gate of Shock. Once he stopped consuming the healing spring water, his body would immediately exit the pseudo-Gate of Shock state.
In his current battle with Vetto, they were evenly matched when the Gate of View was open, but after opening the pseudo-Gate of Shock, he completely suppressed Vetto. So, what he needed to do now was to hammer Vetto to death as quickly as possible!
"Ding-dong! Congratulations to the host for receiving the mission to kill Vetto. Upon successfully killing Vetto, Mall Points will be instantly replenished to 50 million!"
"Holy crap!" Seeing this explosive reward, Asta was suddenly pumped with adrenaline, and his potion-drinking speed increased. His muscles were knotted and bulging; every time his right arm swung the demon-slayer sword, the bones would fracture, and his entire body's Chakra would be exhausted. However, as soon as the healing spring water from his left hand went down his throat, the emptied Chakra would fill up again, the fractured arm would instantly heal, and his lost physical strength would be replenished!
So, Asta in this state was not invincible. One only needed to break the healing spring water while he was drinking it. Vetto knew this too, but he simply couldn't do it because at this moment, Asta was practically not human; he was like the most insane combat machine, and the demon-slayer sword's strikes left Vetto with no power to resist!
