Vanessa thinks about how Rogue is protecting Rufel because Luck is a member of the Black Bulls.[2] Magna tells Vanessa to dispel her magic, which Vanessa counters that they might be able to wake Luck up. Magna replies that that is exactly why he is going to wake Luck up, and launches a spell. As the spell vanishes, Rufel still senses them and dodges.

Magna asks why Rufel is crying, and comments that Luck is still within that body. Magna tries to wake Luck up by commenting about how much stronger that he has gotten. Vanessa says that she will not let go of Luck either, which Rufel tells them to shut up. As Rufel prepares to kill Magna, Asta shows up and saves Magna. Vanessa figures that Rouge used the last of its power to bring Asta here.[7]

Asta asks Magna and Vanessa for help, which Magna and Vanessa start to throw fireballs and rubble at Rufel. Rufel easily dodges the incoming attacks and lands another blow on Asta. As Asta is pushed back, Asta thinks about how his body won't last long and that he will have to finish this with his next attack. As Asta charges at Rufel, Magna creates a smokescreen to block Rufel's sight. Rufel counters by expanding his mana, and finding out where is mana is being dispelled. As Rufel finds out where Asta is, he prepares to finish Asta off. Vanessa uses her thread to pull back Asta, while Magna uses a fireball to cut Vanessa's thread. Rufel figures out that they used the thread in order to adjust the timing of Asta attack. Asta then lands a hit on Rufel.[10]
Asta mounts Rufel and goes to stab him with his sword, but Rufel releases his mana to block Asta. As Rufel goes to kill Asta, Magna and Vanessa quickly grab and hold Rufel down.
