"Though I'm extremely reluctant, everyone worked together to return. Should I call it a super composite magic?" Alkradra said begrudgingly.
"Haha, working together is actually quite nice once in a while!" Hamón Caseus of the Golden Dawn was quite happy.
"Men can be useful sometimes too, Big Sister!" Sol Marron said, scratching her neck.
"I'll only acknowledge them for their abilities!" Charlotte said tsundere-ly.
"As for cooperation, there won't be a next time!" Solid Silva said with disdain.
"As expected, a squad that doesn't get along won't get along in anything!" Neige Silva said contemptuously.
"It's not that we don't get along at all. At least the common goal of our nine Magic Knight Squads is consistent, and that is to protect the peace of the Clover Kingdom!" Nozel said with righteous dignity.
"Asta!" Klaus focused on Asta immediately.
"Cousin Noelle! Is Cousin Fuegoleon alright?" Mimosa Vermillion first glanced at Asta, seeing that he was full of fighting spirit like a god of war and was perfectly fine, then she noticed Noelle and Fuegoleon beside him.
"Mimosa, hurry and treat Captain Fuegoleon!" Noelle called out urgently.

"Yeah!" Mimosa rushed over, then couldn't help but feel sorrowful looking at Fuegoleon's severed arm. She hadn't expected such a powerful person like her cousin to suffer such a heavy injury!
"Asta is... so incredible. Even a powerful person like Captain Fuegoleon fell to the ground, but Asta is still fighting!" Klaus looked at Asta in shock, his eyes filled with admiration!
"The Vermillion family has truly declined!" Solid Silva said gloatingly, looking at Fuegoleon lying in a pool of blood.
"As a Captain, how embarrassing!" Neige Silva also covered her lips and snickered.
"Shut up, Neige. We, who were not on the battlefield, are even more of a disgrace. To make up for it, let's leave these troublemakers here!" After Nozel finished speaking, his gaze turned deep as he looked at Ladros and the others, directly using an area-of-effect magic, "Mercury Magic: Silver Rain!"
"As expected of a Captain of the nine Magic Knight Squads, using such a powerful area-of-effect magic right from the start. But it's useless, Gel Magic: Sticky Salamander!" The glasses girl spread her arms, and a giant gel toad appeared above their group.
"This level of defense won't stop my attack," Nozel said arrogantly. Sure enough, his mercury raindrops easily pierced through the skin of the gel toad.
"Then how about adding this? Dark Magic Tool: Characteristic +α!" A meaningful smile appeared on the glasses girl's face, and she pulled out an oversized syringe, injecting the pink liquid inside into the toad. The originally pink toad became even more translucent, and the mercury that had pierced into its body, which was meant to hit them, was all absorbed by the toad.
"What? It was absorbed!" Klaus said in shock. One had to know that this was magic released by the second-ranked Magic Knight Captain!
"What kind of magic tool is that?!" Nozel himself was also taken aback, not expecting the enemy to have such a trick.
"That boy is mine!" After the glasses girl pulled out the syringe, she looked at Asta with an excited gaze. Then, the toad stretched out an arm as if hunting, rapidly coming towards Asta!
"Asta!" Noelle cried out in alarm, because the arm's speed was truly too fast, as swift as lightning, making it impossible to dodge!
"You want to catch me with this level of speed?" Asta felt deeply insulted. He could have dodged this kind of attack a dozen times over, but in that instant, Asta also thought a lot.
The situation on the battlefield was that three Magic Knight Squads—Nozel's, Charlotte's, and the Golden Dawn—had completely surrounded the glasses girl and her group, but they were not going down without a fight.
Above, the glasses girl released Gel Magic to defend against Nozel's attacks, while below, Valtos released Spatial Magic to flee.
Asta now had two choices. The first was to charge over, slash through the glasses girl's Gel Magic, and block Valtos's Spatial Magic so this group couldn't escape.
The advantage was that he could wipe out all the enemies who came to the Royal Capital, but the disadvantage was that he wouldn't know where the enemy headquarters was.
The second method was just like Fuegoleon—nothing ventured, nothing gained!?
Pretend to be taken away by the glasses girl, and directly follow Valtos's Spatial Magic to the enemy headquarters, then wipe out this terrorist organization in one go!
Of course, the second method was very dangerous. If things went wrong, he might end up like Fuegoleon, or even worse, dead without a burial place!
However, the reward was huge. Asta didn't want 'Konoha Village' to be destroyed again. He liked this world; although it was strictly hierarchical, there were many lovely people living here.
People like Noelle, Vanessa, and the Sister. So if anyone wanted to destroy this place, they'd have to ask him first!
With this thought, Asta gave up on dodging and simply whispered to Noelle and Mimosa beside him not to worry. He was then grabbed by the toad's palm and pulled back to the glasses girl's side.
"Got him! Retreat!" The glasses girl cheered.
"Nonsense! What are you planning to do by catching him?" Valtos looked angry. Didn't Sally know how dangerous Asta was!
"Hehe, dissection!" The glasses girl laughed.
"..." Valtos was completely speechless.
"Everyone of the Magic Knight Squads, remember this: we are the 'Eye of the Midnight Sun', the ones who will destroy you!" The marked man closed his grimoire, timing their teleportation perfectly. Just as he finished his boastful words, they were all teleported away by Valtos's Spatial Magic.
"Asta!!!" Noelle and Mimosa both screamed almost simultaneously. After all, their crush had been taken away—how could they not panic!
Even though Asta had given them a heads-up beforehand, being taken away alone... no matter how you thought about it, there wouldn't be a good outcome!
"We have to go save him!" Noelle blurted out.
"Noelle, it's no use. We have no way to track the mana fluctuations of their teleportation location," Klaus said regretfully.
