Main article: Underwater Temple Arch.
Years later, when the Black Bulls arrive at the temple, Gifso challenges them to a Battle Royale at the temple and summons Kiato and the other priests, before scattering the fighters across the temple. After warming up with some toy monsters, Kiato faces off against Asta. While showing off his dancing ability, Kiato reveals that his dream is to be a famous dancer of the Clover Kingdom and that he has to win in order to reach the surface. While Kiato attacks, Asta counterattacks while declaring his own dream and desire to win. Kiato easily evades Asta's attacks, and Asta struggles to predict Kiato's attacks. Kiato mocks Asta for trying to imitate his dancing and comments that there is a limit to those without magic. Asta shocks Kiato by evading an attack and then declares that he is going to surpass that limit, impressing Kiato even more.

After Vetto and the Eye of the Midnight Sun invade the temple, Yami Sukehiro and Gifso make an announcement and change the rules of the game, causing Kiato and Asta to postpone their fight. The two boys head towards Vetto's location, and Kiato senses the type and strength of the magic there. When Asta asks how Kiato evaded his Ki, the priest explains about his Dance Magic. The two boys are shocked by the explosive clash of magic from the combined spell of Magna Swing and Luck Voltia.

Kiato becomes worried when she sees her father's condition and Vetto's strength. Kiato and Asta team up to attack Vetto, after the terrorist threatens the lives of the temple's citizens. The boys unleash a flurry of attacks but are repelled. Vetto insults them, but the two attack again with their renewed vigr. They throw punches towards Vetto's arms, but the man knocks them both away, sending them crashing into a wall.

After Kahono saves Asta, he shouts to his brother, and suddenly feels refreshed. The two brothers combine

their magic and attack Vetto with Sea God's Advent, which they claim represents their ties to those in the Underwater Temple. Though the spell initially forces him back, Vetto cuts off part of Kiato's right leg and crushes Kahono's throat. Kiato is left lying to the side and bleeding, and is later saved by Vanessa Enoteca, who also ties a tourniquet around his leg, stopping the bleeding.

After the Black Bulls defeat Vetto, Gifso collects his grandchildren, hugging them, before sending them to the temple's infirmary. Noelle Silva visits Kahono, and Kiato falls in love with her and decides to show her his love dance. That night, Kiato and Kahono join the other citizens in bidding farewell to the Black Bulls.
