Asta nodded, his resolve hardening. He didn't just need his sword; he needed his heart. He felt the Black Form taking over, the dark anti-magic wing sprouting from his shoulder. He became a blur of shadow, clashing against the lightning.

The sound of their battle was a deafening rhythm of thunder and steel. Every time Asta’s anti-magic sword touched Rufel’s lightning, the sparks hissed and died, but the Elf was too fast. Rufel was mocking them, dancing through their attacks with a grace Luck never had.

But it wasn't Luck. Not really. The manic grin was there, but the eyes were cold, glowing with an ancient, vengeful power. The Elf spirit Rufel had taken over, and the lightning crackling around him was no longer the playful spark of a teammate. It was lethal.

Magna and Vanessa were already there, bruised and exhausted. Magna’s fireballs were being swatted away like flies. Vanessa’s thread magic was fraying under the sheer intensity of the Elf's mana. They were losing him. Asta nodded, his resolve hardening

Rufel laughed, a sound like tearing metal. "This body is just a vessel. Your 'friend' is gone, human. There is only the light of the Elves now." He became a blur of shadow, clashing against the lightning

"Is this all?" Rufel sneered, appearing behind Magna. He raised a hand crackling with a massive bolt of lightning. "The end of your bond is here." "NO!" Asta screamed.
