"Ladros, we're in such a sorry state all because of you. You talked big about wanting to fight the Magic Knight Squad captain alone and destroy the capital, but in the end, you couldn't even beat a brat who can't use magic!" Valtos looked at Ladros angrily. If it weren't for Ladros arrogantly disrupting the strategy he had formulated, they wouldn't have been injured!
"Shut up! I'm the one who suffered heavy losses this time! Besides, if I hadn't frantically summoned the undead army to hold that brat back, our plan would have failed long ago!" Ladros retorted angrily as well.
"Are you starting to argue as soon as we land after being teleported? So this is their headquarters, huh!" Asta surveyed the surroundings. It was a wild field, but there was a ruined palace ahead.
"However, I've already caught that brat. He's become my research subject now!" Sally said very happily.
"By the way, Sally, we can't take this brat back. Let's eliminate him right here!" Valtos said, looking at Sally.
"Hey! No way! This is Anti-Magic, which can't be compared to magic reduction. It's very likely the only person in the world who possesses it. This will definitely lead to a major breakthrough in my experiments!" Sally immediately refused.
"Don't cause us any more trouble. Without that lord's permission, we aren't allowed to bring people over privately!" Valtos stopped walking; they had reached the entrance of the palace.
"That's right, let me kill this brat, or at least turn him into a toy to compensate me. After all, he wiped out so many of my undead army!" Ladros was very agitated. After all, the undead army he had painstakingly accumulated over many years had been wiped out by Asta in one fell swoop—he was furious!
"One wants to use me for experiments, the other wants to turn me into a walking corpse. Have these people lived enough?" Asta looked at them coldly. If it weren't for waiting for the big shot they kept mentioning, he would have already slashed through this suffocating gel control magic and cut them down.
"Why do I have a feeling of dread?" Ladros suddenly shrank his neck. He felt as if he were being watched by a beast. He instinctively looked at Asta and saw Asta looking at him expressionlessly, which made him shiver.
"Is this all the courage you have to kill me? But where is this? Why does it feel so comfortable here?" Asta frowned. This probably had some connection to his identity.
"Clack, clack!" Just as everyone was arguing, footsteps came from the depths of the palace. Asta thought the big shot had arrived and immediately activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, but to his surprise, he saw Magic Emperor Julius walking toward them.
"Who is it?" The members of the Eye of the Midnight Sun were all startled.
"Yo, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Julius walked out of the shadows with a smile. He had finally waited for them to return.
"Oh crap!" Once Ladros saw Julius clearly, his hair stood on end like a cat's. The others were no different.
"Magic Emperor, Julius!"
"Why is he here!" The members of the Eye of the Midnight Sun were all stunned. Who could have known that while they were wreaking havoc in the capital, they had been 'home-invaded' by the Magic Emperor!
"Kill him!" The two Eye of the Midnight Sun mages closest to Julius finished speaking and attacked him. Then, everyone saw a flash of white light. Julius had already appeared beside the two, and the orb of Light Magic in his hand exploded, instantly knocking them away.
"They aren't dead, are they?" Ladros looked at his two teammates who never stood up again and said in surprise.
"Naturally, I've invited them to die. After all, there are still too many of you, and it's troublesome to detain you. Besides... you all attacked the capital, didn't you? Don't tell me you didn't have the resolve to be killed before you went to kill others." Julius said very calmly, but it was precisely this calmness that made the members of the Eye of the Midnight Sun feel even more terrified.
"Is this the Magic Emperor? Such powerful strength—it's impossible to match, not to mention our magic is almost exhausted now!" Valtos was a calm strategist, but at this moment, no matter how he thought about it, he felt they were going to be wiped out here!
"Although I only want to keep one survivor, I feel like you are all masters. How about it? Do you want to surrender? That spot for the survivor is first come, first served!" Julius said as if playing with a mouse. In fact, he was also dismantling their will to fight. A powerful Magic Knight doesn't necessarily need to defeat their opponent physically; they can also conquer them mentally!
"Don't look down on us!" Sally was the first to attack Julius, and the five remaining members of the Eye of the Midnight Sun also launched attacks at him.
But then, a scene that filled them with despair happened, because no matter how fast their attacks were, they couldn't hit Julius, who seemed to be using Body Flicker!
"How is this guy so fast? The magic can't hit him at all!" Ladros was already in despair, but even if he couldn't hit him, he dared not give up, because giving up meant being captured!
"Keeping one survivor isn't very safe after all. Forget it, five people should be fine." When Julius said this, he had already flashed behind the group. "Time Restraint Magic: Chrono Stasis!"
"demon-slayer sword!" Asta sensed the terror of this magic and was the first to slash through Sally's gel restraint magic. He then started the Gate of Limit, escaping the magic's coverage!
Moreover, after Asta completed this series of actions, Julius's restraint magic dispersed, and the members of the Eye of the Midnight Sun were instantly enveloped by the blue time circle.
"This... is..." Ladros looked at what was in front of him in horror. His body could not move.
"Are we going to be wiped out!" Valtos thought powerlessly.
"If only I could use the Magic Emperor for experiments!" Sally thought differently from others. Although she was controlled by Julius at this time, the ideas in her head were still very crazy!
"Has everyone been restrained? But it seems one person escaped." Julius looked at Asta with a smile. "I didn't expect the person who was captured to be you. At your level, you shouldn't have been captured by them!"
"You guessed right. I was thinking of following them to their headquarters to have a look, but who knew you would beat me to it." Asta shrugged and smiled after deactivating the Eight Gates. "If I had known you were coming to 'home-invade', I wouldn't have wasted the effort."
