"Kids, did you understand my attack just now?"
"Which move? Dark Magic?" Asta was a bit confused; he didn't know that magic either!
Yami, with a look of disappointment, shouted at Asta, "Idiot! Of course not!"
"Captain, this isn't the time for that!"
Adam was speechless; he almost wanted to abandon these two and run. We're about to be blown to smithereens, and he's still teaching him and Asta. It's truly incomprehensible.
Adam stared at Licht with a grave expression. Once this move was unleashed, the entire cave would likely collapse. Running wouldn't solve it, unless he could teleport or had the strength of a rabbit.
"It's Ki! I can sense others by seeing their Ki, without needing to look at them or use magic perception."
Yami said calmly, "This is a technique from my hometown. The key is to feel it with your heart. After this is over, you two must try it out properly."
Yami sighed contentedly, swung his treasured sword, and stood in front of Adam and Asta.
"Let's surpass our limits here!"
Ki!
Adam was bewildered. The last time he heard about something like this was when a cool male lead named Gohan was teaching his wife the Sky Dance technique.
"Yes!" Asta shouted loudly.
Adam also shook his head, pushing all thoughts aside. Now he had to focus on the big trouble in front of him.
"Divine Retribution's Light!"
A massive pillar of light surged towards Adam and the others. This astonishing magical power seemed to want to destroy everything.
"Mirror Reflection!"
A giant mirror appeared in front of Yami and the others, reflecting Licht's pillar of light back at him, striking him directly.
The leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun, having sustained his own powerful attack, fell to the ground.
"Just in time!"
Yami sat directly on the ground and lit another one for himself.
Adam and Asta also breathed a sigh of relief. Captain Yami truly had foresight, sending Finral back after delivering the children.
The timing was perfect.
Gauche's left eye had completely run out of stored magic. This magic was pooled together by everyone; without it, the giant mirror couldn't have been created.
This was the combined effort of Theresa and the children.
Finral didn't actually want to rush back. Transporting the children had almost exhausted all his magic, and the last trip was also spent bringing Gauche over.
If Gauche hadn't sincerely entrusted him, Finral would have wanted to stall for a while longer… "Dark Magic, Restraint!"
Yami bound Licht and Toss with Dark Magic, then sat on the ground, waiting for Finral's magic to recover.
"Are you done yet? I want to see Marie immediately!"
Gauche looked at Marie's photo, and his nosebleed started flowing again, unstoppably.
"Captain Yami, I think I'm sensing Ki!"
Asta shouted excitedly.
"How perverted!" Yami's disgusted expression made Asta depressed.
"These guys!"
Adam really didn't have time to mess around with them. Licht was clearly faking unconsciousness, waiting for reinforcements!
Adam's mouth curled into a slight smile, and he walked towards Licht with an arrogant swagger.
"Old man, you've finally fallen into my hands, haven't you!"
Adam grabbed Licht's hair, looking at him with a playful expression.
"Still faking it? I'll have to give you something harsh!"
Just as Adam was about to raise his right hand, Yami called out to him.
"Kid, they are bound by my Dark Magic and cannot escape. When we get back, we can hand them over to the Magic Emperor and find out their organization's purpose. Don't torture him anymore."
Asta also roared loudly at this moment, "Adam! They should receive a righteous trial, don't lay a hand on him."
Adam's mouth twitched, his expression as ugly as if he had eaten a bitter gourd.
"What do you know? Restraint Magic can't even tie up a dog, and you expect it to bind them?" Adam turned his head to explain to Yami and the others.
"Kid, are you underestimating my magic?" Yami said fiercely.
"I'm just telling the truth! You guys stay out of it." Adam said, then moved to continue his action.
At this moment, the space around Licht distorted, and a dark Spatial Tunnel appeared. A woman, a man, and a beast emerged from it.
"What have you done to Licht! Flame Magic!"
Fana, the pink-haired, poker-faced woman, waved her arm, and the dark restraints on Licht and Toss were burned away.
Seeing the situation was not good, Adam quickly put distance between himself and the enemies. He shouted angrily, "This damn Restraint Magic is the trashiest magic in this world! No, it is the trashiest!"
"You bug, I'm going to smash your arm!"
Beto, the lion-faced man, rushed in front of Adam and threw a punch.
"Beast Magic, Bald Crow!"
"Tough Bull, grant me immense strength!"
Bang!
Beto's and Adam's fists collided. In an instant, both were sent flying backward simultaneously.
However, the bull's energy was still too little, and Adam retreated a few more steps than his opponent.
"Haha, you bug, you're quite good, not as weak as other bugs."
Beto laughed, his beastly face and fangs growing fiercer as he charged towards Adam.
"Kid, step back! Dark Binding!"
Yami blocked in front of Adam, deflecting Beto's attack with a single sword strike.
"The Captain of the Black Bulls? Your sword is quite good!"
Leya, the arrogant black-and-white-haired man, instantly appeared beside Yami and touched his sword.
"Dragon Blast!"
Adam leaped out from behind Yami, and an astonishing pillar of light shot straight for Leya's face.
"Dark Magic, Nameless Slash!"
Leya instantly created distance, and a dark magic slash of light cut through the scorching pillar of light, the blade light heading straight for Adam.
"Imitation? Nameless Slash."
Yami swung his sword, blocking the attack. The two forces exploded instantly, and both sides retreated simultaneously, creating distance from their opponents.
"Phoenix's Feather Robe!"
Fana created a giant ball of flame, enveloping Licht within it, healing his injuries.
"Sinners, from now on, fend for yourselves! These Three people are the strongest in our Eye of the Midnight Sun, corresponding one-to-one with the leaves of your Clover Kingdom!"
Licht was just faking unconsciousness. Once inside the flame ball, his eyes widened more than anyone else's, and his chattering began.
"Corresponding to honesty is the hypocritical Leya; corresponding to love is the hateful Fana; and corresponding to hope…"
Big brother, you're not even acting anymore? Who asked you for all this?
Adam was utterly fed up. How were these guys like cockroaches, unkillable and endless!
"Stop chattering! Dragon Blast!"
Adam's pillar of light went straight for Licht, and Asta was also poised, holding two magic swords, his eyes unusually calm.
Finral and Gauche, those two magic-depleted guys, could only watch helplessly.
No magic is good!
"Salamander!"
A small, fiery red creature appeared on Fana's shoulder. It spewed thick flames, devouring the pillar of light.
The flames, mixed with Fana's anger, surged towards Adam and the others.
"Black Blade!"
Yami blocked in front of everyone, slicing through the flames with a single sword stroke. The "partner" in his mouth was unconsciously finished again.
"Dark Magic, Black Cocoon."
A sphere of dark magic substance created by Yami's magic enveloped Adam and the others. Yami lit another one, saying with a hint of determination, "They are not on your level. Leave the rest to the Captain!"
"Captain Yami, I can still fight!" Asta shouted worriedly.
"Don't worry! Next, I will surpass my limits here!"
Inside the Black Cocoon, Adam's face was extremely ferocious at this moment, his eyes filled with killing intent, scaring Finral so much he dared not breathe. Gauche and Asta also quieted down.
"I actually became a burden… How embarrassing!"
