"Sorry for bringing up painful memories." Yami could tell that these scars were definitely not faked, and Licht's forehead was smooth. Plus, the two had completely different magic attributes, so the possibility of William being Licht was now ruled out.
Yami finally breathed a sigh of relief, because the Golden Dawn, which represented the gateway of the Clover Kingdom, had not been infiltrated by the enemy. Otherwise, their Clover Kingdom would truly be in danger.
"It's nothing. Those things happened a long time ago. It was that personage who saved me and gave me this mask." No sooner had William finished speaking than he saw a black cloud shaped like a train speeding away in the distance. "It seems there are still fish that slipped through the net over there."
"This magic... it must be Lotus of the Abyss. I didn't expect him to come this time." Yami muttered.
"Following the master is great; at least we won't die!" A group of Diamond Kingdom mages watched Lotus of the Abyss with tears in their eyes. They were veterans who had followed Lotus of the Abyss for a long time. They were there at the last Magic Palace, and luckily, they were saved by Lotus of the Abyss in the end. They didn't expect that in this Battle of Kiden, they would be saved by Lotus of the Abyss again.
"Young ones, you don't understand. This is the Soul of the Diamond! You must preserve your living strength to use it where it's needed!" Lotus of the Abyss said meaningfully.
"Asta, what happened to your arm?" While cleaning up the battlefield, Noelle's cousin, Mimosa Vermillion, was the first to spot Asta standing on the roof and hurriedly ran over, shyly asking.
"Oh, it's Mimosa!" Asta jumped in front of Mimosa, startling her so much that she hurriedly took several steps back. Because she was suddenly so close to Asta, she was too shy!
"Asta, let me heal you!" Mimosa looked at Asta earnestly.
"Sure. This is an injury from the last mission. It's okay if you can't heal it; it will slowly get better on its own!" Asta smiled gently.
"I will definitely give it my all!" Mimosa said and cast Dream Healing Flower Basket, but the healing effect was not obvious. "I'm sorry, Asta..."
"It's fine. It's been a while, Mimosa, you seem to have grown taller!" Asta smiled.
"Asta, you've become stronger too!" Mimosa said, lowering her head, blushing.
"Wow, what a cute girl!" Finral saw Mimosa from afar and hurriedly came over, but before he could even start flirting, a lazy voice came from the roof on the other side.
"Yo, isn't this my incompetent brother? You actually appeared on the battlefield?" Langris looked down condescendingly at Finral, who had the same hair color as him.
"To think I'd run into him here..." Finral cursed his bad Luck. Although he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Asta and a beautiful girl, it seemed unavoidable this time.
"Finral, is this kid your younger brother?" Asta was somewhat surprised. A younger brother daring to speak to his older brother like this—wasn't he getting a bit carried away?
"Yeah, Asta. This is my own younger brother..." Finral said with an awkward smile.
"Asta, he is also our Golden Dawn vice-captain and the future head of the Vaude Family." Mimosa whispered, fearing Asta might be at a disadvantage.
"No wonder he's so arrogant." Asta understood. Although Langris made him very unhappy, he didn't want to interfere in Finral's family affairs. After all, face is something you have to earn back yourself!
"Mimosa, how can you associate with such people? Come to my side immediately!" Langris commanded, clearly displeased.
"Sorry, vice-captain, but Asta and I are good friends, and I don't want to go over." Mimosa refused Langris's order.
"You dare to disobey my order?" Langris felt a sense of humiliation. In his view, an excellent noble girl like Mimosa should be taking the initiative to approach excellent noble individuals like them. How could she make him lose face in public!
At this moment, Langris felt very strange. Even though the surrounding members were all doing their jobs, he felt that everyone was watching them, which made him feel like he was losing face!
"I... I didn't..." Mimosa panicked, not knowing what to do.
"What is that arrogant kid saying? How dare he give Asta a dirty look?" Magna said, looking at Langris with a dissatisfied expression while chewing on a toothpick.
"I don't know, but I really want to fight him!" Luck was eager to try, feeling that he hadn't fought enough just now.
"Oh no, it looks like Asta is in a conflict with the vice-captain!" Klaus, who was performing rescue duties with Yuno in the distance, suddenly noticed the anomaly here and hurriedly rushed over.
"You are disobeying orders right now. I order you to come with me to treat the disaster victims over there. Did you hear me?" Langris said in a dangerous tone.
"But there are no more disaster victims over there." Mimosa resisted slightly.
"Enough! Leave those two pieces of trash immediately!" Faced with Mimosa defying his will again and again, Langris said in extreme annoyance.
Seeing Mimosa being bullied to the point of tears, Asta's gaze turned cold. "Finral, I'll teach your brother a lesson for you. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Huh? What!" Before Finral could react, countless Asta's suddenly exploded into the sky. These Shadow Clones, following Asta's instructions, surrounded the area into a spherical shape so that the outside world couldn't see the situation inside.
"Are you trying to use clones to attack me?" Langris looked at the clones with some surprise. Truth be told, he had never seen such a massive number of clones. However, what shocked him even more was the cold voice that had suddenly appeared behind him!
"How many moves can you last against me before you go around calling people trash?" Asta looked at Langris with a cold gaze, and Langris instantly bristled, because if Asta hadn't spoken, he wouldn't even have noticed someone was behind him!
"Are you trying to ambush me? Keep dreaming!" Langris immediately used Spatial Magic to displace himself, yet no matter how he moved, Asta was always right there with him!
"What is going on? Why? Aren't you Anti-Magic? Why can you also use Spatial Magic?" Langris could no longer maintain his superior expression. He looked at Asta, whose eyes were blood-red, in terror. He knew that if Asta had wanted to attack him, he would have already been struck!
