## Personality

Asta is full of curiosity, so she takes interest in a lots of things. She is very cautious about her surroundings and always takes extra precautions to ensure success, such as using tools that her natural abilities can already accomplish.

Her dream is to serve the Red Heavenly King, Vamirio. She is fine with anything apart from poor quality cuisine. Unlike her sister, she gifted in intellect and passes exams with flying colors.
Moreover, she has a great sense of battle which even Hyura recognizes. However, since she generally moves at her own pace, she is not as great in any field as Hyura or Ista, but she is content with that.

## History

### Ahh... Isty

Asta grew up with Ista and Hyura and became very close friends with each other. Asta learned swordsmanship from Hyura.

One day, Asta's and Ista's village was attacked by monsters whom managed to break through the village barrier. However, they were saved by Vamirio. From that incident Asta and Ista were inspired to become soldiers of the empire. They eventually become personal subordinates of Vamirio.

She graduated from Demon King Gwyn Castle Academy. Asta was an adventurer before serving with Vamirio. Despite having other dreams, she decided to venture because of her interest in archaeology. She has toured around the outside world even more than Vamirio and has made contact with various species and experienced a multitude of things. Through her adventures, she has encountered many near death experiences, but often manages to bring back many relics from those experiences. Whenever she is on the verge of death, she bids Ista farewell via telepathy, which also causes Ista's mind to be on the verge of death as well.

Asta is being held prisoner when a prisoner guard comes in her cell. She tells the guard that she already told the humans everything that she knows. Guard continues to assert that she must be hiding information and threatens to torture her. Asta decides to tell the guard Ista's first crush as she has nothing else to reveal. The guard becomes frustrated and tries to punch Asta, but the demon manages to dodge the punch much to the guard's displeasure. The guard reveals that they already have the needed information and that he only wishes to torture her for his own pleasure. However, Sharuami stops the guard before he could do any harm to Asta. After a short chat, Sharuami tells Asta that she is worried about the state of her country. To comfort Sharuami, Asta reveals some information.

Sharuami gets the keys to Asta's chains, but is stopped by her father, Rafaed. After Sharuami is escorted away, Rafaed tells Asta that he has no intentions of hurting her as long as she behaves. Asta barrages Rafaed with questions about his goal, but Rafaed replies that he had placed his hopes on a minor possibility that might benefit the human race. The winged torturer returns to Asta's cell despite Rafaed's orders and begins to wipe Auta.

After the torturer finished whipping Asta and he attempts to use different method of torture. The torturer tells Asta that Sharuami is not going to be coming because she is currently controlled by the King's Will and that her friends are in the castle. Furthermore, the torturer tells Asta of the energy that Cless summoned. Just as the torturer is about to start torturing about, Asta kicks him and grabs him into a choke hold. She then knocks him out and takes his robe and keys. Asta meets up with Piwi and Ororon.

Vamirio manages to break Rafaed's barrier once more, allowing Asta to attack Rafaed, which weakens the barrier even more. Ororon then grabs Sharuami. After the Human King betrayed his allies, Asta proceeds to greet Vamirio and company. Vamirio explains to Helck of the plan to save Sharuami. Suddenly, Sharuami wakes up and tells everyone that the Human King is waiting for them.

Asta and company head down an underground lair to find the Human King. While going through the lair, they discuss the possible motivates of the King. They eventually reach the resting place of the four Human Kings who governed the Human lands over the centuries. Sharuami tells the group about the history of the four kings. Sharuami later shows the appearance of the Human King. The Human King reveals that there was an existence that Mikaros did not notice. The Human King then shows the group a portal to "the future you wish for". Through the portal, they see a man beside a tree. The Human King informs them of what he knows, but becomes hostile when he does not get his way.

The Human King makes a plea to the demons to stop Helck before disappearing. Asta begins fearing very anxious about Helck after learning that Helck came in contact with the Will of the World. Vamirio questions the hero about the Will of the World. Ultimately, Helck tells Vamirio and Asta that he has been ignoring the Will of the World this whole time. Logically, Asta does not accept such an answer because of how much damage the Will of the World has done. Vamirio addresses Asta's worries to the best of her capabilities. To ensure that Helck will not give in to the Will of the World, Vamirio asks Helck to make a vow to never do anything that would worry everyone. Vamirio once again tells him that he does not need to bear the weight of the world alone. Asta, however, still feels uneasy about the situation, but she ultimately puts her trust in Vamirio's decision. The Human King, now influenced by the Will of the World, reveals his real form and begins mutating.

Asta manages to avoid the Human King's attacks as Helck and Vamirio fight back. The Human King projects a large beam of energy. Asta attempts to dodge the beam, but is forced to use a barrier, luckily Helck was already prepared to deflect the energy projection and saves Asta. Vamirio asks for everyone except Helck to get as far away as possible from the Human King.

The Human King is eventually defeated as the castle begins to collapse. Everyone eventually escape the castle, but the winged soldiers turn soul-like and a new opponent approaches them. Asta anxiously watches as the foe seemingly has the upper hand against Vamirio and Helck. Abruptly, a massive explosion occurs and a beam is shot into the sky.

Vamirio produced a barrier to protect everyone from the explosion. Vamirio later asks Asta to take Ororon and run to inform Azudora about the situation. However, after Asta communicates with Ista, she decides to go back to inform others about something that could help. Unfortunately, on her way back, she is intercepted and attacked by the Warriors of Ruin.
