"Asta, what should we do next?" After Asta landed from the flying orb, Noelle ran to his side, holding the Little Girl.
"Next, we take these two guys back to the Magic Knights Headquarters. Leo of the Crimson Lion, you should know some restraint magic, right?" Asta turned his head to look at Leopold.
"Of course!" Leopold nodded immediately and then ran to Ladros and Valtos. "Flame Restraint Magic: Flame Lion's Palm!" Suddenly, seven or eight lion paws made of flames appeared, squeezing Ladros and Valtos together.
"This restraint magic is really useful, unlike mine where I can only beat them to death!" Asta rubbed his chin with some envy.
"How truly shameful!" At that moment, a voice filled with extreme disgust suddenly descended from the sky. "If we hadn't received notice from that person to come and take a look, we really wouldn't have known that you'd be beaten like this by such opponents. Truly shameful!"
Then, a bone-chilling whirlwind descended from the sky. As the whirlwind dissipated, the figures of five people could faintly be seen within it.
"Such a terrifying aura of magic power..." Noelle watched the reinforcements that had surrounded them.
"They actually have helpers!" Sweat streamed down Leopold's tense face. Just two of them had been hard enough to deal with, and now five reinforcements, whose auras were even stronger than Ladros and Valtos, had appeared all at once!
"That actually saves me some trouble. Perfect to round them all up here!" Asta became excited. Unlike Fuegoleon, he didn't need to go deep into enemy territory to solve the problem; he just needed to wait for them to come to him.
However, if all the enemies were here, then where exactly had Fuegoleon gone?
"Hmph, isn't it enough that the mission has been accomplished?" After being rescued by his companions, Valtos laughed self-deprecatingly and then opened a Spatial Magic portal. Fuegoleon fell heavily out of it!
"Brother?!" Leopold's eyes widened in shock. Fuegoleon fell to the ground as if his aura were completely gone. The place where his right arm used to be was now empty, and a large pool of blood instantly flowed onto the ground from the severed limb!
"His... his arm is gone!" Noelle screamed. Fortunately, Asta was right beside her.
"Don't be afraid, he isn't dead." Asta had already reactivated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan. Although Fuegoleon looked like a dead man at the moment, there was still a faint aura present, and the grimoire beside him hadn't dissipated...
However, shortly after Asta saw Fuegoleon's grimoire, it began to dissipate bit by bit.
"Noelle, quickly sprinkle this healing spring water onto Fuegoleon's wound!" Asta hurriedly exchanged a bottle of healing spring water from the system and handed it to Noelle.
"Okay!" Noelle took the healing spring water and immediately ran toward Fuegoleon. Leopold also ran toward Fuegoleon in a panic. The five reinforcements surrounding Asta and the others didn't intend to stop them; clearly, Fuegoleon was useless in their eyes now.
"I was hesitating about who your target was; I even considered the Magic Emperor. I didn't expect your target to be Fuegoleon!" At this moment, Asta understood everything.
"Although you realized it a bit late, you're still clever. But what's the use?" The man with a mark on his face, who had previously mocked Ladros and Valtos in mid-air, spoke up.
"Tch, who asked you to save me!" Ladros lay on the ground. He felt that Asta's sword had broken at least several of his bones. Fortunately, his legs weren't injured, so it wouldn't affect his escape; otherwise, he would really be finished.
"You'd better be grateful to us, because if we hadn't come to save you, you might have been dissected alive. Speaking of dissection, rather than letting them dissect you, why not let me do it instead!" a girl wearing thick glasses said excitedly.
"Unforgivable! I will not forgive any of you who hurt my brother!" Leopold looked at Fuegoleon, whose life or death was unknown, and the thugs who were joking around. He instantly felt a surge of rage rise from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He was going to burn them all to ash!
"Nonsense. Has your brain gone haywire from fear in the face of these numbers?" The man with the mark on his face sneered.
"It doesn't matter either way, they're just guys who are about to be snuffed out!" The girl with glasses finished coldly, and the five people each condensed a magic attack and fired them at Asta and the other two...
"Whirlwind!" Asta swung his demon-slayer sword, blocking the magic attacks of the five people for Noelle, who was crouching on the ground wiping Fuegoleon's wound.
"Spiral Flames!" Leopold also joined the fray.
"Futile resistance!" The man with the mark on his face said dismissively.
"Is that silver-haired guy the Anti-Magic brat that the Lord mentioned?" The girl with glasses looked at Asta with excitement, as if she had discovered a new continent.
"This can't go on. It seems I have to use the magic from my grimoire!" The man with the mark looked at Asta and Leopold, who were full of fighting spirit, and finally decided to use his magic techniques. This showed just how arrogant he was.
"Wind Creation Magic: Piercing Tornado Needle!" After the man with the mark used his magic, a dozen wind eyes suddenly condensed behind him. Then, tornadoes as sharp as steel needles shot straight toward Asta and Leopold like bullets!
"Can't block it!" The moment Leopold saw this magic, this was the only thought that flashed through his mind. Then, two tornado needles pierced through his arm. As he fell, he saw Asta hold up his demon-slayer sword to block this unavoidable attack.
"Good thing..." Leopold breathed a sigh of relief before losing consciousness. He didn't know when it started, but he had become incredibly trusting of Asta, as if as long as Asta was there, they wouldn't lose!
"He blocked it? Damn it!" The man with the mark looked at Asta squarely for the first time. But at that moment, a sudden change occurred!
A magic power fluctuation, far more powerful than when they had arrived, was rushing toward them at the speed of sound!
"They're back!" Valtos looked on in terror as Nozel and the others, who had been on the horizon just a moment ago, landed on the battlefield!
"How is that possible?" Ladros also watched this scene in shock. Hadn't they all been teleported by Valtos to a place far away from the Royal Capital? How could they have returned so quickly!
