Yuno's face turned cold, and his tone couldn't help but become heavier. He wouldn't allow anyone to look down on his only designated rival like that...
"What? He is the person who defeated you?"
Mimosa Vermillion covered her mouth with both hands. She had experienced Yuno's strength firsthand during these few missions, but she hadn't expected that silver-haired man from the Black Bulls to be even more powerful than Yuno?
"Hmph! Isn't it just taijutsu? I've already heard from people in the squad that such cheap tricks can't compete with magic in the end. His growth is destined to stagnate after reaching a certain level, while magic power can always grow proportionally!"
Klaus still hadn't changed his opinion of Asta. Seeing this, Yuno simply lost interest in the conversation and just kept moving forward according to Mimosa Vermillion's guidance.
Meanwhile, the Clover Kingdom also held a high-level meeting because of the appearance of this ancient Magic Palace.
"According to the latest intelligence, relevant personnel from the Magic Knight Squad Golden Dawn and the Magic Knight Squad Black Bulls have already begun investigating the Magic Palace, and we have confirmed the invasion of the Diamond Kingdom Mage army."
An intelligence officer wearing a loose grey robe knelt in the main hall, reporting the latest intelligence meticulously.
"The Diamond Kingdom is indeed troublesome. In recent years, they have been constantly expanding their territory. It is a highly aggressive country!"
"Then, are the members we sent to the Magic Palace reliable? If the ancient magic is snatched away by the Diamond Kingdom Mages, that would be very bad!"
As soon as the intelligence officer finished speaking, the councilors in the hall began to discuss it heatedly.
"Then who is the leader sent by the Diamond Kingdom?"
The Magic Emperor said lightly, a pleasant smile always on his face.
"The leader sent by the enemy is Lotus of the Abyss."
"What? It's actually a long-renowned Mage!"
The councilors became noisy again.
"Oh, Lotus, I've actually met him on the battlefield before. His strength is super strong!"
The Magic Emperor exclaimed with a smile, which immediately made Marx beside him unable to remain calm.
"Magic Emperor, please have some sense of tension, okay? We sent all rookies this time!"
Marx said speechlessly.
"It's fine. Although Lotus's magic is interesting and very powerful, the child Yami sent out is also super strong."
The Magic Emperor recalled Asta's sunset-like red eyes; they were truly a pair of beautiful and mysterious eyes. Moreover, with Asta's Anti-Magic weapons combined with his powerful taijutsu, the Magic Emperor believed that any Mage would be very miserable if they fought Asta without prior preparation!
"At this time, only you are this optimistic..."
Marx complained helplessly.
"This is called being well-prepared, okay, Marx."
The Magic Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. This Magic Palace mission was indeed beyond the scope for these two rookies, Asta and Yuno. Whether it was the trap magic of the Magic Palace or the Mages from the enemy country, it was a considerable challenge for any old member of the Magic Knight Squad. However, it was precisely because of the difficulty of the mission that these two treasures could be better polished!
"I'm really worried..."
At the Black Bulls Headquarters, Vanessa lay on the sofa, bored, sipping red wine, but she couldn't help but think of Asta and Noelle who had gone on the mission.
"These two little guys are still as delicate as fledglings. Is it really okay to entrust them with such a dangerous mission?"
Vanessa gazed at Yami, who was reading a newspaper.
