"Receive your judgment!"
It seemed Licht had unsealed something; his already immense magical power became even more astonishing, as if it would swallow the entire cave.
"Yami, we're not too late... What the?!" Jack exclaimed.
A flash of white light passed, and the belated reinforcements just happened to arrive at the climax of the event.
Nozel, captain of the Silver Eagles, Charlotte, captain of the Wild Rose, and Jack, captain of the Mantis Squad—a truly luxurious lineup.
"What's going on?" Nozel asked with a solemn expression.
"Men are truly unreliable!" Charlotte's cold voice came, and Yami scratched his ear, saying calmly, "Perhaps this guy was angered by the kid in our squad and accidentally surpassed his limits."
Damn it, I was supposed to be the one to surpass my limits!
Yami's expression didn't change as he pointed towards Adam. Nozel and the Three people were instantly stunned.
Adam was seen taking on the Three people alone, not falling into a disadvantage at all. In fact, he used extremely underhanded tactics, making it impossible for Beto and Leya to act.
"You wouldn't want Fana to get hurt, would you!"
The Bull Power on Adam's body was rapidly draining, clearly not able to last much longer.
But Adam's methods were extremely "cruel"; he held Fana captive, threatening to whip the pink-haired girl severely if she didn't obey.
"You're shameless!" The usually arrogant Leya finally couldn't hold back. Who was the villain here?
Doesn't this guy have any shame?
"You bug, let go of Fana and fight us fair and square!" Beto's sallow face was almost green with rage. He wished he could tear Adam to shreds immediately.
"No way!"
Slap!
Fana's poker face twisted; there was no blush, only hatred for Adam.
"Yami, your taste is truly unique. This guy is a real prodigy, hehe~" Jack licked the scythe on his arm and chuckled.
"Lewd!" Charlotte turned her head away in disgust. Yami looked a bit awkward but still explained for Adam, "While this tactic is a bit shameless, it's quite effective."
Nozel's face was cold. Thinking back to Adam's actions at the banquet and his sister Noelle's attitude towards this guy, he now wanted to deal with this guy first.
"Captain Yami, now is not the time for this! Licht's massive pillar of light is coming!" Asta roared.
"Dark Blade!"
"Thorns!"
"Quicksilver!"
"Scythe Blade!"
Nozel and the Three people attacked the pillar of light together, but all the magic they cast was absorbed by the pillar of light, which continued to expand, about to swallow the entire cave.
"Finral, are you ready?"
"Just a little more." Finral wanted to recover his magic power more than anyone. This scene was a bit too terrifying. He hoped he wouldn't have to come next time.
"Damn it, that Anti-Magic kid released Licht's seal."
Leya's expression was grave. This seal shouldn't have been released now; it was meant for the Day of Hope... "Kid, let go of Fana. We'll stop Licht, or else we're all done for!" Leya shouted.
Adam was a bit reluctant to let go. It was truly upsetting to lose the handmaiden he had obtained.
But if he didn't let go, his Bull Power would soon be exhausted, and Licht couldn't be dealt with... "Alright..."
As soon as Adam let go of Fana, the Salamander hidden in her clothes immediately poked its head out, its eyes filled with extreme anger.
"Salamander's..."
"Fana! Focus on the bigger picture!"
Leya shouted loudly, "We'll deal with this hateful kid later when we have the chance!"
"So that's where it was hidden? I thought it had been recalled along with the grimoire."
Adam truly regretted why he couldn't be more shameless. One should be ruthless when dealing with hateful enemies.
No wonder this pink-haired little bunny... was so plump!
Fana glared fiercely at Adam, then rushed towards Licht with Beto and Leya.
"Licht, if this continues, you won't be able to hold on!" Beto shouted.
"Trinity, Seal Magic!"
Fana and the Three people stood in three different directions, forming a triangle. Their magic power pressed towards Licht, causing the entire space to tremble slightly, forming a powerful magnetic field.
"So powerful!" Finral couldn't help but exclaim.
Licht was enveloped by the lotus formed by magic power. Leya picked up Toss, who had fallen to the ground, and looked at Adam with a cold expression.
"Next time, it will be your death day!"
A black tunnel appeared beneath Leya and the others, and everyone could only watch as the enemies departed.
"I'll definitely kill you!" Fana looked hateful, as if she wanted to eat Adam alive.
"There's no reason to let them leave empty-handed; I should send them a gift!"
Just as the black magic enveloped all the enemies, Adam fired a Dragon Blast into it.
"You bug, I'm definitely going to eat you!"
Clearly, Beto had won the lottery.
"Did we win?" Asta asked.
"They ran away, so of course we won!" Yami said with certainty.
"Yay! We won!"
Asta shouted excitedly.
The storm had passed, and the top of the cave was pierced through by Licht's pillar of light. Looking up, one could see the clear blue sky—a sight only victors could enjoy.
"Ah! I'm exhausted!"
Adam collapsed to the ground, his whole body limp, utterly drained of strength.
His body felt as if it had been hollowed out!
"Stay away from Noelle."
An ill-timed voice came, and the beautiful scene before Adam's eyes turned into Nozel's gloomy face.
"That's what I should be saying to you."
Adam's disdainful look completely enraged Nozel. Just as he lifted his foot, Yami's voice came from behind him.
"Isn't it beneath you to bicker with a junior, Braids?"
"Foreigner, I've tolerated you for too long!"
"Hehehe, don't argue..." Jack walked over with a sinister smile, acting like a peacemaker. As soon as he opened his mouth, Yami and Nozel shouted in unison, "Shut up!"
"Bastards! Are you asking for a beating!"
Jack's face instantly changed, his expression extremely ugly. These two guys just wanted to pick a fight.
"Then I'll oblige you!"
Charlotte looked at the Three people bickering and couldn't help but say, "Hmph! Men!"
Adam turned his head, his eyes fixed on Charlotte. The tsundere beauty was truly gorgeous.
"What are you looking at, you pervert!"
Charlotte glared fiercely at Adam. She had seen with her own eyes that this guy had actually spanked a girl's butt on the battlefield. What a hooligan.
Bang!
Asta, who had been relying solely on his body to stay upright, also collapsed to the ground, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep... Nean City, Rebecca's house.
"Adam, where did you run off to? Did you spend the night at a girl's house?"
Lying in bed, Adam listened helplessly to Noelle's nagging. This tsundere princess's tone softened as she spoke, and her face was flushed.
"I'm just a member of the squad..."
"Noelle, I'm sleepy..."
Adam pulled Noelle into his arms. The double burden of physical and mental exhaustion finally became unbearable. He closed his eyes and fell asleep instantly.
Noelle lay in Adam's embrace, her face crimson, not daring to move. Her body felt like it was on fire, practically steaming.
"I actually... with Adam... Ah!"
Slap! A slap landed on Adam's face, making him, already asleep, sleep even more soundly.
