"Bandit Group Leader Redi, we've caught a big fish this time. The grimoire in that child's hand is actually a four-leaf clover!"
Keer pointed at Yuno and said, angling for credit.
"Is it the same grimoire as the First Magic Emperor's?"
Redi looked at the grimoire in front of Yuno, his two eyes, which looked like a rat's, revealing a greedy look.
This gaze made Yuno very uncomfortable, as if he had become a fat sheep ready for the slaughter!
"What a disgusting gaze. Asta, shall we go?"
Yuno came behind Asta, already poised for action.
The accompanying youths also subconsciously moved closer to Asta.
Because the aura on Asta was something even Keer, who hadn't fully revealed his true colors, couldn't compare to. In such a critical moment, they instinctively gravitated toward the strong!
"You're called Keer, right? You're right, the moment of surprise has indeed arrived."
Asta revealed a brilliant smile. So far, 132 bandits had appeared. He felt as if he could already smell the scent of the Sharingan!
"Slaughter time... has arrived!"
"Whoosh!"
As Asta stepped out, a crimson grimoire appeared out of thin air, and a huge heavy sword landed with a bang!
Asta grabbed the heavy sword with both hands, his muscles bulging as if they were about to explode. A mix of pale green and blood-red light intertwined on both sides of his body like a dragon and tiger fighting. Asta carried the sword and began to slowly accelerate, finally charging toward the Bandit Group Leader Redi like a fierce beast.
"Earth Release Magic: Giant Shield!"
Redi was taken aback. He had originally wanted to mock Asta by saying something like, "What era is this, and you're still using a sword?" But when he saw Asta's aura, which was like a blue fierce beast, his body couldn't help but tremble involuntarily. His hair stood on end; this was a fear from the depths of his soul, so he immediately deployed his strongest magic shield!
"Boom!"
The soil suddenly surged out four towering earth walls, wrapping Redi and Keer inside. These four earth walls were extremely sturdy and could withstand many powerful magic and physical attacks. They were Redi's ultimate means of survival.
However, one second passed, then two seconds, and the earth walls didn't even budge.
"Could he be a paper tiger?"
Redi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The aura from just a moment ago had really startled him, but he hadn't expected that when the sword hit the Earth Release, it wouldn't even make a sound.
But the next moment, screams sounded like a mountain-shaking tsunami.
"Help! Help me!"
"He is a devil!"
Redi and Keer looked at each other in dismay after hearing the screams. Could it be that the members had already started a massacre?
After all, his members were notorious thugs who did like to torture people a bit before killing them. So, it wasn't strange that those youths were making such miserable cries. But... these voices didn't sound like they were coming from young people, did they?
"Boss, should we open a crack and take a look?"
Keer suggested.
"Okay!"
Redi changed his magic form. When he opened four windows, his eyes instantly widened, because the ones crying for help were actually his own members!
"Help me, Boss!"
"Someone save us!"
"The first one!"
"The second one!"
"The 32nd one!"
Asta was like a whirlwind, his speed reaching a point where it was difficult for the naked eye to capture. Every time he arrived beside a bandit, he would use the heavy sword in his hand to send them flying high into the sky. The physically weak ones would die immediately, and the strong ones, although they didn't die the moment they were struck, would fall to their deaths upon landing!
"The 52nd one!"
"The left side is completely cleared. Next is the right side!"
Asta stopped, his figure appearing before everyone's eyes again. But at this moment, the ground where he stood was as empty as if a swarm of locusts had passed through, while the sky was filled with screaming bandits!
"Gulp!"
The boys and girls who had come to join the Magic Knight Squad swallowed hard. This scene was simply too shocking. A group of bandits who lived by the blade had no ability to resist under Asta's heavy sword?
"Bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
As the first bandits who were sent flying fell, the ones sent flying later fell to the ground like dumplings, one after another, dead!
"Ding! You killed a red-named Third-Class Junior Mage and received 100 points as a reward!"
"Ding! You killed a red-named Second-Class Junior Mage and received 200 points as a reward!"
"Ding! You killed a red-named First-Class Junior Mage and received 300 points as a reward!"
...
"Ding! This time you killed a total of 40 Third-Class Junior Mages, receiving 4000 points as a reward. You killed 10 Second-Class Junior Mages, receiving 2000 points as a reward. You killed 2 First-Class Junior Mages, receiving 600 points as a reward. A total of 6600 points reward!"
Asta heard the final summary, his heartbeat accelerating suddenly. Just by taking care of a few small fries, he had actually obtained over 6000 points. Sure enough, hunting powerful Mages was a correct choice! Asta looked at the bandits on the right, his gaze instantly becoming fiery. These were all walking points!
