Only then did Lotus of the Abyss realize, belatedly, that the dragon's roar from just a moment ago was actually the sound of a giant sword tearing through space!
"Luck, it's not time to despair yet, because you still have teammates!"
Asta sighed. This boy, whose personality was somewhat extreme—spending every day doing nothing but looking for fights—and who seemed so happy, was actually quite lonely.
Although he didn't know what factors had caused Luck to develop this personality, there was no doubt that, like Gaara, he must have had dark childhood memories; otherwise, he wouldn't have turned out this way. Now that he was also a member of the Black Bulls, he would certainly not sit idly by.
"...And who are you? Your aura is actually even more intense than that lightning boy's!"
Lotus of the Abyss said in astonishment. He had originally thought the lightning boy's aura was already aggressive enough, but upon seeing Asta, he finally understood what it meant to have an aura like a dragon. Just the fact that he had cut through his Smoke Creation Magic: Smoke-Bound Cross Prison with a single sword strike was enough to make him take this seriously.
"Isn't this outfit obvious enough?"
Asta approached them with his sword, Noelle following close behind, while Luck remained half-crouched on the ground, lost in his inner demons.
"So, teammates have arrived. I always thought the lightning boy didn't have any teammates. Still, it's good to have teammates; strong teammates bring peace of mind. You lads from the Clover Kingdom are doing really well—each one has more presence than the last. I wonder how our lads from the Diamond Kingdom are doing."
Lotus of the Abyss said, seemingly implying something.
"Oh, so you have accomplices too."
Asta's face remained calm, but his eyes had instantly turned blood-red. His spirit and Chakra had already been maintained at their peak state. Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, let alone him, who had not yet become a lion that could roar and shake the forest!
"That's truly a dangerous eye color. It seems that no matter which country it is, they are all dedicated to training young people. Suddenly, I feel like running away again."
For the first time, an unusual expression appeared on Lotus of the Abyss's face, because the battle situation had completely changed with Asta's arrival. He could no longer control the overall situation like a spider weaving a web!

So happy, the third update is here. I hope to keep up this pace tomorrow, or even update more!

Chapter 65: A Burning, Tearing Sword Strike!
"You can't escape, because you are my prey! And I don't need teammates; I can take you down all by myself!"
Luck suddenly raised his head, but his eyes had become extremely eerie, devoid of humanity, just like a predatory beast!
"Luck..."
Noelle was somewhat afraid of Luck in this state, so she unconsciously moved closer to Asta.
"A lad who wants to shut himself away—he really can't be pulled back."
Asta pursed his lips helplessly. This Luck's "inner demons" were exceptionally deep.
"You're certainly tenacious, but you can't beat me all on your own!"
Lotus of the Abyss said as he backed away, conjuring black smoke.
"I must defeat you with my own power, otherwise I will lose my mother's love, and without my mother's love, I will have nothing!"
Luck rushed toward Lotus of the Abyss as if lost in madness. His state at this moment was extremely frantic, just like a drowning person clutching at a straw; that fleeting feeling caused him to lose his reason!
In this state, although Luck's magic power was surging, his combat techniques had regressed to those of a beast. He was only relying on brute force to contend with Lotus of the Abyss, and as a result, he immediately fell into a disadvantage!
"Asta, what should we do? Are we really not going to help?"
