"Your Majesty, then I shall depart!"
The next morning, the Demon Queen saw Adam off from her palace. That hateful man had eaten so much for breakfast.
He was simply a bottomless pit!
The Demon Queen stared at Adam's receding back and murmured, "That foolish fellow must think I was lying!"
When you use the truth to deceive people, who can tell what is real and what is fake?
"The stronger a person's magic, the more miserable their death will be!"
..."Hello everyone!"
Adam greeted the witches with great enthusiasm. Last night had been truly wonderful; he had played, eaten, and even the large bed he slept in had a faint fragrance that was very conducive to sleep.
He really didn't want to leave; this place was simply paradise!
"Ah! It's the pervert from last night!"
The witches noticed the devil and immediately scattered, fleeing back to their homes and barricading all doors and windows, terrified that Adam would rush in and do something evil.
Why didn't Her Majesty the Queen punish this fellow?
Could it be that this fellow had even... the Queen?
"Am I really that scary-looking?"
Adam was a bit puzzled. What was wrong with these witches?
A living, breathing handsome man was here, and they all ran away.
This was simply outrageous!
"I'm not a monster, and I wouldn't eat them."
Adam was still completely unaware that his actions from yesterday, if done by anyone else, would have them tied to a bloody cross and exposed to the sun for three months.
Adam flew north towards the Witch's Forest. The unknown Magic Palace ahead had successfully piqued his interest.
"Treasures, I'm coming!"
...Black Bulls Headquarters!
To break the curse on Asta, the Black Bulls members began to split up!
Magna and Luck went to a Magic Palace on the kingdom's border, where the danger level was several notches higher than the Magic Palace Adam had first visited.
Gauche and Gordon chose to go to the largest library in the royal capital to find a way to break ancient curses.
Charmy and Grey went together to the uninhabited area on the kingdom's border to explore an unknown primeval forest and search for plants that could lift ancient curses.
All the Black Bulls members were in motion. Vanessa had returned to the Witch's Forest early that morning, and the sight there shocked her immensely. In the desolate and chaotic forest, every household had their doors and windows sealed, as if fearing something... Vanessa didn't have time to think much. Her primary task was to gain the Demon Queen's forgiveness and ask her to heal Asta.
"Queen! Your beloved Vanessa is back! Aren't you going to open the door?"
Vanessa stood shouting in front of the Demon Queen's palace. A chilly gust of wind blew, and the large door slammed open. A flock of crows swept her inside.
Bang!
The tightly closed door seemed to foretell Vanessa's upcoming fate.
But would the Demon Queen, having been taught a lesson by Adam, still cling to the "fate" on Vanessa?
The mysterious man, whose intentions could not be deciphered, might just be able to sound a warning for her.
On the other side, Noelle asked Finral to take her to Asta's sword-fighting master.
Fanjier, a middle-aged man who was a former commander of the Diamond Kingdom, lived in seclusion in the Clover Kingdom with his witch fiancée and his cold loli female apprentice.
"Ah! Pervert!"
Noelle shrieked, and a powerful water ball struck Fanjier, who was disheveled.
Ultimately, the Black Bulls' entanglement with Fanjier stemmed from the dramatic plot of the female apprentice's love-hate relationship with her master, using the Black Bulls to strike at the Diamond Kingdom's assassination squad.
Yami was kind-hearted and didn't report this matter; otherwise, Fanjier's entire family would have been arrested...
To the north of the Witch's Forest, near the Spade Kingdom, was a Strong Magic Zone, a graveyard for mages, a forbidden land that everyone chose to bypass.
"Wow! This is much more spectacular than the outskirts of the Sea Temple."
Tornadoes mixed with lightning, crackling and echoing continuously through the valley.
Adam landed on the edge of the Strong Magic Zone. It was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the center was covered by natural disasters, forming a natural barrier.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
Adam covered his entire body with magic. Although the awakening of his perfect Dragon Power had made his body incredibly tough.
But what good person would deliberately take a beating? Only certain people with special attributes could enjoy the "torment" of the flesh.
Adam stepped into the storm, and with a thunderous roar, a bolt of lightning thicker than an arm shot straight towards his face.
Crack!
The lightning was blocked by Adam's magical outer garment. He continued forward without changing his expression.
The storm constantly eroded Adam's magical outer garment, and rumbling lightning, like raindrops, pelted him.
"No, this magic is becoming increasingly difficult to control."
Adam felt a bit incredible. Ever since he obtained Water Demon Power, controlling magic had been as easy as playing a game.
But after entering the Strong Magic Zone, the magic became increasingly unstable, as if it wanted to devour Adam.
The aqua-blue outer garment on Adam's body began to tremble uncontrollably, as if it wanted to turn against its master!
"Heh heh, Demon Queen, so this was your plan."
Adam sneered. He suspected that this Strong Magic Zone would strike those with stronger magic with even more thunderous force.
"You've certainly made a good plan. Disperse!"
Adam shouted loudly, and the magic on his body was dispelled. The sky, filled with lightning and thunder, mixed with the storm's mockery, as if belittling humanity's overestimation of its own strength.
To despise thunder with just one's physical body!
Crack!
Lightning thicker than a thousand-year-old ancient tree descended from the sky. A giant tornado guided the lightning, and Adam was right at the center of the storm.
"Arrogant chicken, grant me the power of telekinesis!"
His grimoire erupted with dazzling golden light, and the chicken pattern lit up. Adam opened his hands, and the lightning that was about to strike his head stopped in mid-air.
The storm also halted, as if this man possessed a "domain" that no one could approach.
"I'm such an idiot. Why would I come in here to suffer when I have the easiest move?"
Adam wished he could slap himself. A docile sheep could traverse any dangerous place without harm.
"Dragon Blast!"
Adam spewed a mouthful of flames, directly devouring the lightning. Beams of energy shot from his hands, scattering the storm and making it dissipate into the heavens and earth.
Adam didn't know how long it would take to get out of here. The dangers ahead were numerous, and a slight misstep could lead to eternal damnation.
He was a rational madman and would never stand beneath a crumbling wall.
Rumble!
The lightning re-converged, the storm began to spin again, and even torrential rain started pouring from the sky. It wanted to punish this disrespectful human.
"I won't be accompanying you any longer!"
Adam quickly ran outwards. This Strong Magic Zone was about to unleash something big; even a dragon's body would turn to charcoal.
Adam constantly dodged the lightning, transforming into a cheetah and frantically running outwards.
A close call!
It was accumulating energy; the small lightning bolts couldn't catch up to the cheetah's speed.
It seemed to know that this arrogant fellow would definitely not let go of the treasures inside.
Adam changed back. He sat on the ground, panting, a slight playful smile on his lips, saying, "I gave you a chance, but you're useless!"
Crack!
Deep blue lightning flashed, and the Strong Magic Zone seemed to respond to Adam's provocation.
