Darkness and red intertwined!
Asta, who had awakened his Demon Power, relentlessly pursued Ross in mid-air. The powerful Anti-Magic forced the weakened man to constantly evade.
This fellow, who thought he was invincible after devouring the power of the Fire Spirit!
Asta sent Ross flying with a single sword strike. Ross fell from the sky and landed on the ground with a heavy thud.
"What the heck is that?"
Adam, riding Xiao Lan (Little Blue), saw the black and red intertwined figure in the sky from a considerable distance.
"Is that Asta?"
Adam was a little unsure, as this power was too sinister, giving off a gloomy and uncomfortable feeling.
It wasn't like the Demon Power he possessed, which had been recognized by the Book of Ages, belonging to the ancient overlords who once ruled the world!
Hehe~
Adam couldn't help but laugh; he seemed to have been a bit too shameless.
"Blood Creation Magic: Execution Ground!"
Just as Asta successfully moved Ross with his words, the Demon Queen, ruler of the Witch's Forest, decided to take down all three factions using despicable and shameless means.
Blood stained the forest red. The hundreds-of-years-old monarch, in order to maximize her own interests, decided to execute Noelle and the others with a blood-red cross.
The executioner—Asta!
"You will forever be my sword! A puppet of blood!"
When the Demon Queen was healing Asta, she added something to his body. As soon as she activated it, this unyielding boy would become her puppet.
"Kill them!"
The Demon Queen waved her hand, and the half-demonized Asta, like a beast, walked step by step towards Noelle.
"Asta! Stop!"
Vanessa shouted.
This girl, who had been "imprisoned" by the Demon Queen for many years, had resolved to protect everyone in the Black Bulls after gaining her freedom.
Her grimoire emitted a pink glow, and the magic of fate found its master.
"Demon Queen, you're f***ing asking for it!"
When Asta's sword was less than a centimeter from Noelle, the entire blood-red arena transformed into a clear blue sea. The blood-red cross also melted into the seawater, and everyone fell into the water.
Asta's sword swung through empty air. The Demon Queen was shocked; she had actually forgotten about this fellow.
Indeed... How could such a powerful person be eliminated by the Magic Palace?
The pink kitten followed closely, its tender pink paws touching Asta's body.
Fate was rewritten.
"Demon Queen, you T..."
Adam's face was full of shock. He seemed to have said that phrase just now, and his Water Demon Power, which was about to activate, was suddenly interrupted.
The blood-red execution ground did not change; only Asta's attack was redirected to strike the base of the cross.
"This cat!"
The Demon Queen saw Vanessa's cat, and she seemed to suddenly understand, immediately activating her magic.
"Blood Puppet!"
The Demon Queen wanted to directly control Vanessa. This pink cat was what she had been searching for all along.
It possessed the power to rewrite fate!
How sinister!
Time waits for no one; I must act before that guy behind me!
Adam also saw the cat and immediately understood the Demon Queen's intention.
Touch an object, rewrite its fate!
Vanessa's eyes were red. This queen, blinded by self-interest, decided to harm her own descendant.
"Dragon Blast!"
Adam roared, and a powerful pillar of fiery light shot straight towards the Demon Queen.
With her master controlled, the pink kitten, a step ahead of Adam, touched the Demon Queen's body.
The blood-red execution ground instantly exploded. The Demon Queen, who had just taken out her blood-red scythe, ready to harvest fate, fell to the ground with a thud.
Everyone was rescued once again, but the dazzling Dragon Blast, this time, was not rewritten by fate. The powerful attack struck the Demon Queen directly.
"Ah!"
The Demon Queen, who thought fate had abandoned her, never expected Adam's attack to still hit her.
"How is this possible? Your fate... how was it not rewritten?!"
The Demon Queen painfully collapsed to the ground, her blood magic constantly repairing her body. The centuries-old demoness indeed had a plethora of secret techniques.
Adam approached the Demon Queen, his face contorted in rage, his entire body filled with furious power.
"My fate is in my own hands!"
Adam decided to finish off this old woman. This guy was a bit too sinister, and Asta's arm was also healed, so this woman too... "In your next life, don't live so long!"
Adam's right hand condensed a terrifying sense of oppression. The golden grimoire slowly flipped open, and the bull emblem emitted a dazzling light.
"Adam! Stop!"
The pink kitten's tender paw pounced on Adam. The scene of a bloody, broken head did not appear. This punch slammed into the ground in front of the Demon Queen, creating a massive crater.
"Vanessa, what are you doing?!"
Adam turned his head to look at Vanessa. This incredibly foolish woman was probably feeling pity.
"You can't kill her!"
Vanessa looked a bit flustered. Facing an enraged Adam, she was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Give me a reason!"
"The Witch's Forest cannot be without its Demon Queen. Once she's gone, this place will turn into a sea of fire, and the witches will be captured and turned into slaves..."
Seeing Vanessa's flustered expression, Adam's lips curved slightly. He had a good idea!
Adam glanced down at the Demon Queen. It wasn't just his imagination; even if the Demon Queen died, she would surely have a contingency plan to ensure the Witch's Forest's survival.
After all, she had lived for so many years; she must have trump cards that ordinary people couldn't see through.
To think even more absurdly, the Demon Queen might even possess a secret art of "resurrection." If she died today, she might emerge from another witch tomorrow... Adam stretched lazily, a mischievous smile appearing on his face. He slowly and deliberately walked towards Vanessa.
"Adam! Don't be like that, Sister Vanessa didn't do anything wrong..."
Noelle, slumped on the ground, saw Adam's expression and immediately pleaded for Vanessa.
"Exactly, Noelle is right. We're all comrades. Give me some face, senior, and let this matter go!"
Finral was a bit awkward; Adam completely ignored him.
Adam stood before Vanessa, the pink kitten perched on her shoulder. This stubborn woman was looking at him with an unwilling expression.
Adam leaned close to Vanessa's ear and whispered, "I can listen to you, but I have one condition!"
"What condition?!"
"Just a reward for comforting a wounded boy!"
No one knew what the two had said. Adam then left Vanessa's side, preparing to check on the people lying on the ground.
Huh?
Crazy woman!
Adam was a bit confused. Why did her appearance seem to have improved? The two remaining men also looked better.
People from the Diamond Kingdom... and the exposed uncle?
"Uncle, why are you here? Didn't Sister Minerva and your little apprentice come?"
Adam also knew this uncle. He had frequented Minerva's stall and, along with Asta, had taught a lesson to the Diamond Kingdom's assassination instructor.
"Came... didn't come!"
Fanjier didn't really want to tell the truth. That annoying Adam always pulled Minerva's hand to chat about daily life when buying things, and the chat would last for half a day.
He had to be careful!
"I'm not a jackal or a tiger..."
Adam's lips twitched slightly. What was wrong with this uncle?
To be wary of a true gentleman, it was simply outrageous.
Adam went to Noelle's side, helped the young girl up, and, half-holding her, asked, "Are you alright?"
"My foot hurts a little..."
"Let me see."
"No!"
... Vanessa, standing nearby, bit her lower lip, somewhat unwillingly. She walked to the Demon Queen, her expression complex.
This proud queen now lowered her head.
"Is this what you meant by the power to manipulate fate?"
The girl's cheeks were still slightly red. The price of "saving" the Demon Queen was probably not small...
