"So the third member of the Black Bulls is actually the ecstatic Luck?"
Klaus looked at Luck in surprise. This was definitely a powerful opponent. If not for the controversy he caused by inflicting excessive damage on his opponents during the Magic Knight Squad exam, he would definitely be a genius that many captains would be fighting over!
At this moment, Klaus felt a deep sense of frustration. The prestigious top magic squad, the Golden Dawn, was actually being outperformed by the bottom-ranked Black Bulls!
"Look at what you've done to my precious family!"
Asta dropped his smile and stared straight at the Diamond Kingdom's Mage. It seemed this was the strongest Mage the Diamond Kingdom had dispatched; he wondered what made him so special!
"So what? The strong remain until the end, and the weak get eliminated. Isn't that the most natural thing in the world?" the boy with pink eyes said coldly.
"Another Gaara..."
Asta's head buzzed at those words. This world really had quite a few problem children, but he had no interest in saving them one by one. If they were enemies, he could just take them out!
"In this world, the weak have no value. I was born to destroy people like you."
After the boy with pink eyes finished speaking, the sound of diamonds colliding filled the air, and a large number of diamond clones condensed into existence!
"Does his magic power have no limit? To be able to release so many diamond clones!"
Klaus was shocked again. Facing such a powerful opponent, he had lost all confidence, but in contrast, the three members of the Black Bulls were all brimming with fighting spirit!
"Young man, you're talking pretty big!"
Asta lunged forward, his demon-slayer sword brandished with unstoppable momentum. Wherever he went, the diamond clones—which had been indestructible to the Golden Dawn—crumbled at a touch like flimsy toys!
The boy with pink eyes was finally rattled. He hadn't expected his pride-and-joy diamond defense to be so vulnerable before this boy from the Clover Kingdom. Seeing Asta charging at him like lightning, he immediately leaped into the air, instantly condensing a massive diamond sword the same size as the previous one and slashing down!
"Your magic is useless against me, too!"
Asta returned the exact words the boy with pink eyes had said to Yuno. He then pushed off with his feet and shot straight upward. The massive diamond sword was like a flimsy toy; it didn't even put up a fight before being smashed to pieces. The demon-slayer sword then struck the boy with pink eyes heavily, sending him plummeting into the water, coughing up blood.
"What? Yuno and I couldn't make him budge an inch, yet he sent him flying with a single strike?"
Klaus was stunned. He wasn't the only one; Noelle, Luck, Yuno, and even the seriously injured Mimosa Vermillion all stared at Asta in astonishment. None of them could have imagined that Asta was this powerful!
"Good thing I didn't miss the show, but isn't this Clover boy ridiculously strong?"
Lotus of the Abyss hadn't actually fled very far. After shaking off Asta and the others, he had used Creation Magic: Smokescreen of the Hermit to secretly tail them.
"I can't believe this boy from the Clover Kingdom could beat Mars so badly."
"Do you think Mars will lose?"
The previously injured Diamond Kingdom Mages had regained consciousness and were now watching the scene in shock.
"Who can say for sure? But this boy from the Clover Kingdom is freakishly strong. I originally thought Mars would be able to put up a good fight, but it seems he's being suppressed."
Lotus of the Abyss glanced at the battlefield and said, "Anyway, the outcome won't be decided right now. Let's hurry up and move the gold! Honestly, I've never seen such a magnificent place in all my years."
"Er... you really are carefree!"
The subordinates had no choice but to start moving the gold under the cover of Lotus of the Abyss.
After Mars was knocked into the water, he was utterly enraged. His grimoire, which he had left hovering in the air, emitted an incredibly dazzling light. The entire surface of the water seemed to freeze instantly, erupting with countless diamond crystals!
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
The sound of diamond crystals erupted from the water surface one after another. This anomaly drew everyone's attention.
"Titan's Heavy Armor!"
Mars roared, leaping up from beneath the water. The diamonds encasing his body made him look like a giant. Such thick diamond armor was nearly invincible!
Unfortunately for him, he was facing Asta!
"Gate of Opening!"
"Gate of Rest!"
Asta opened the second gate again. His body wasn't in a state to open the Eight Gates, but since today was destined to be a day of transcending his limits, he had no choice but to go crazy!
With the second gate open, the Chakra in Asta's body surged wildly once more. His body had reached its current limit, so even with the Gate of Rest open—which could alleviate fatigue—his body began to sting with pain!
"Pebbles in my way, die!"
Mars threw an angry punch. It was a fist covered in countless diamond crystals, weighing over a ton, so the impact of this blow was immense!
"Can you even hit me?"
After opening the Eight Gates, Asta's speed soared to the extreme. He dodged and sprinted, arriving right in front of Mars. Mars subconsciously used his left arm to block, but that heavy sword strike shattered the diamond crystals on his arm instantly!
"Who the hell are you!"
A trace of fear appeared in Mars's eyes. Since leaving the experimental base, he had never felt so powerless; no matter how he attacked, he couldn't harm the person before him!
"You talk too much."
After landing, Asta pushed off the ground and leaped again. His body was already overloaded, so he had to end this quickly!
Mars reflexively blocked with his right arm. This time, Asta cleaved straight through his diamond right arm, and shattered the Titan armor, knocking Mars right out of it!
"Oh? That's impressive. He actually cleaved Mars right out of his armor."
Lotus of the Abyss's expression was quite vivid. He had always thought that Mars, with his dual-attribute magic, was the most monstrous boy in this world. But after seeing Asta, he finally understood what "unreasonable strength" meant. No matter how many fancy, complex magic styles you knew, this guy could just directly nullify magic. Isn't that infuriating?
