"Someone must be out there if we got attack but how to go about knowing that though," Asta said out loud.

With things, the way they were right now and him possibly being the only one not really affected by whatever turned everyone else into stone. There was no Ki for him to sense from anyone other than himself. He knew everyone was not dead but at the same time, the state they were in could not really be counted as being alive at least in the normal sense of the word.

Though as he was racking his brain trying to figure out what was going and how to get a better view of his surrounding without exposing himself or the others around into too much danger. This was when his grimoire started glowing again as that when Mimosa started moving again.

Upon doing so he noticed that on her head unlike when Noelle was animated just a moment earlier. The horns on her head were like a mini version of the ones that he has in his black form.

Pointing a finger to a location and multiple black vines gather around the area that location and start to intertwine with each other. Flower petals sprout from the tip of the intertwining vines. The flower petals are light-colored black with several dark black spots covering the area. It was basically a black version of Magic Flower Guidepost(exactly like how Noelle's valkyrie dress was black as well).

The holographic image shown was the area around the Black Bulls HQ in extreme detail far more than he had ever seen from whenever Mimosa used in previously in the past. Looking at this map of the area Asta was able to get a basic grasp of what pretty much most of the forest looked like now. Just like he thought everything that had mana at least near the level that humans did was turned to stone. He saw various animals and even different kinds of plants that were now petrified.

Having a look around on this map did not really seem to see any other statues of people at least that should not be around here though. However, this also meant that he still did not know where the missing Black Bulls or Yami had vanished too. None of them were displayed on this map either.

Though after having seen it happen twice already Asta might have figured something out. Noelle, Rebecca, Mimosa, and Nero no longer had their grimoire anymore but somehow their magic was now connected to his anti-magic.

They were currently statues after all thus they had no mana of their own it seemed. Yet they were still able to use their abilities and spells through somehow access his anti-magic. The reasoning Asta had for this was that if they had mana of their own why were they moving on their own. Their apparently some kind of stimulus that sparks them into action animated them along with causing the horns on their head to appear.

It was possible this why Nero's vanishes somehow thought it was curious how Mimosa and Noelle had different types though. Something that would have to be figured out another time as having these thoughts in mind.

Asta looked over to where the currently petrified Nero was standing and had an idea that would hopefully work and might shed some light on at least one of the many questions he currently has.
