Mereoleona Vermillion vs. Rhya

Mereoleona Vermillion vs. Liar is a fight that occurs at a hideout of the White Night Eye.

Pre-fight
Mereoleona Vermillion leads the Royal Knights squad to the Gravito Rock Zone, where the White Night Eye have a hideout within the floating dungeon. Mereoleona divides the squad into five teams, choosing Asta and Zora Ideale for herself.

After the Royal Knights attack the floating dungeon, Liar opens his third eye in preparation for fighting.

Fight
Liar disguises himself as Asta and sneaks into Mereoleona's team. Both plead that they are the real Asta, so Mereoleona burns both of them. The real Asta survives due to his Anti Magic while Liar is greatly hurt and has to put out the flames and heal himself. He compliments her beauty but dislikes her being a royal. He then attacks with copied Dark Magic, but she burns away his spell before dashing forward and engulfing him in flames. Liar distance himself and uses two spells to put out the flames and heal himself. Liar decides to use ones of Licht spells, and launches it at Mereoleona. As the spell gets close enough, Mereoleona easily destroys the spell. As Liar wonders about Mereoleona's movements, Mereoleona closes the distance and attacks from behind. Liar uses on of Gueldre's spells to evade and counterattacks with a water spell. Mereoleona easily counters the spells and distance herself while in mid-air. Liar thinks about how Mereoleona's reaction is on par with Vetto and launches multiple of Fana's spells. Mereoleona easily overpowers all of the spells, while also closing the distance. Liar comments how Mereoleona is a pain in the ass, and wonders how she will deal with this while pulling out Asta's sword. Liar thinks back to when Licht had commented about what kind of person Liar is, and how he wants to kill all humans for harming Licht. Mereoleona easily breaks the sword, and comments about how Liar couldn't truly copy all of Asta's abilities. Liar notices that Mereoleona is capable of fully control the mana that is all around her. Mereoleona says that she will finish this and uses a spell to engulf Liar in flames. As Mereoleona mocks Liar for being overwhelmed by her, Liar thinks about how their is no time to escape or recover. Mereoleona then tells Liar that she is going to continue to pummel Liar until he is just ash, which Liar thinks how he is done for.
