"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragons Lair!"
Noelle had already entered a combat-ready state. A large-scale water-based defensive spell protected a group of houses just before the fire magic cast by the bandits could hit.
"What? Such powerful magic definitely wasn't cast by a villager. Boss, it looks like members of the Magic Knight Squad are here."
A bandit wearing a red bandana shouted.
"Same as the old rules! We've stayed in this place long enough; it's time to leave!"
The boss wearing a green bandana said cheerfully, "Committing crimes in this foreign land is great. If Mages come after us, we run. We'll run wherever we can; they can't possibly keep up with us forever!"
"Yeah!"
The red-bandana bandit said happily, but the next moment, the expression on his face froze because he saw a boy with crimson eyes and silver hair fluttering in the wind, holding a great sword and slashing towards him from a distance!
"An illusion?"
The red-bandana bandit subconsciously increased his height, but it was only then that he realized the boy wasn't coming for him, but for the two subordinates in front of him.
"Two birds with one stone!"
The demon-slayer sword slammed heavily into the two caught-off-guard bandits, the immense force directly shattering their internal organs.
"Ding! You have killed a red-named first-class Junior Mage, reward: 300 points!"
"Ding! You have killed a red-named second-class Junior Mage, reward: 200 points!"
"Not bad."
There was no ripple in Asta's red eyes. To him, these bandits still flying in the sky had already turned into points. Killing them was like slaughtering chickens or dogs, without any psychological pressure!
"Damn it! Boss, there are only three of them, why don't we just kill them!"
The red-bandana bandit's eyes were nearly splitting with rage. These were all his trusted aides! When he wanted to become the boss in the future, he would have to rely on this group of aides to revolt!
"If it's only three people..."
The green-bandana bandit thought for a moment. Finally, he thought that hanging the heads of these three Magic Knight members on their bandit group's flag to establish authority would also be good. So, he waved his hand, "Brothers, kill these three brats! Kill the males directly, and leave that Little Girl for me!"
"Yes!"
A crowd of bandits who were originally going to flee turned their magic brooms around. Asta's mouth almost split into a grin at this sight. He spotted an area where five bandits were gathered, at a height of about 15 meters; he could handle it with a running start!
"Fire Creation Magic: Maiden's Twin Calamities!"
A bandit with a lewd smile on his face transformed his fire magic into the shape of female breasts and threw it at Asta. But a shocking scene occurred: Asta, who was running on the ground just a moment ago, had disappeared!
"Five-fold Slash!"
Like a Shinigami, Asta dragged the demon-slayer sword trailing a red glow and first leaped onto the broom of the bandit who cast the Maiden's Twin Calamities. After killing him with one slash, he used the momentum to jump onto another bandit's broom. In this way, five adjacent bandits were all killed by Asta within three seconds!
"Ding! You have killed three red-named first-class Junior Mages, reward: 300 points!"
"Ding! You have killed a red-named fifth-class Intermediate Mage, reward: 500 points!"
"Ding! You have killed a red-named fourth-class Intermediate Mage, reward: 600 points!"
"I'm going to be rich!"
Asta felt his heart racing and his hands trembling with excitement. When he killed the Fierce Dragon Bandit Group, their leader was only a fifth-class Intermediate Mage. But now, after killing only seven people, two Intermediate Mages had turned up. He was really about to take off!
"What's with this guy? Can he even insta-kill Intermediate Mages?"
When all the bandits saw this scene, they all subconsciously flew higher. This was a bit too terrifying, wasn't it? One must know that Intermediate Mages could be considered the backbone of any country, but at this moment, in front of this Magic Knight boy, they were like paper—they died the moment they were touched!
"Fly! Everyone fly higher, then kite him to death!"
The green-bandana bandit leader shouted loudly. High-altitude pursuit battles were their bandit group's specialty!
"Asta, come up!"
Finral took out his magic broom, intending to assist Asta in attacking the enemy.
"Okay!"
Asta nodded. 15 meters was almost his current limit; not being able to fly was truly a huge headache. If these people were on the ground, solving them would be too easy. Unfortunately, they could actually fly...
"Now, I'll be responsible for flying and using Spatial Magic to transfer Asta, while Little Noelle, you'll be responsible for our safety!"
Finral explained.
"No problem!"
Noelle sat nervously behind Asta.
"No need to be nervous."
Asta stood on the broom, looking ahead, occasionally reflecting the magic the bandits threw at them back at them.
"Is this a monster! He can even reflect magic!"
"Boss, what should we do!"
After kiting for a while, this group of bandits found that not only were Asta's trio unscathed, but their bandit group had instead suffered heavy casualties from the reflected magic. They were losing their minds!
"These three seem a bit weird; let's retreat first!"
The bandit leader wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He had just secretly checked, and it was his own reflected magic that had killed the most of his own men. Fortunately, it was chaotic at the time and no one noticed; otherwise, his time as bandit leader would really be over.
"Agreed!"
The red-bandana bandit quickly raised his hand. He had already lost two aides, and now after a 'revenge battle', his damn aides were almost all dead. He really wanted to cry now!
"They seem to be escaping."
Finral said when he saw that the bandit group was no longer throwing magic behind them.
"Finral, can you move me to that afro guy at the very back?"
Asta asked. Now these bandits were very close together; it could be said that as long as he jumped onto one person's magic broom, he could wipe them all out.
"No problem!"
Finral immediately created a Spatial Magic passage on the left. At the same time, the afro-haired man suddenly felt some fluctuation behind him. Just as he was about to turn his head to look, a voice as cold as a Shinigami's sounded in his ear.
"First one!"
Asta rushed out of the spatial passage like a fierce tiger. With a horizontal sweep, the afro-haired man's chest caved in as if it had been hit by a giant hammer. His magic broom, without mana being poured into it, entered a state of free fall, but in that instant, Asta had already finished using it as a springboard to move to the next magic broom!
