"Leave it to me!" Asta nodded. After activating his Two-Tomoe Sharingan, he also discovered that these magic stones, engraved with various inscriptions, contained immense energy. The attributes gathered by this energy were all different, so these magic stones were very likely the key to breaking the formation!
The best guess was that these magic stones were energy-gathering stones, which meant they gathered surrounding elemental magic to create a magic vacuum, suppressing the enemy with magic confinement, and then the magic stones could provide energy to these Headless Soldiers. This was the best hypothesis!
"Five-Petal Flower Bloom!"
"demon-slayer sword!"
Asta instantly opened the Second Gate. After taking out the demon-slayer sword, his entire body was filled with green and red light, and a powerful aura rippled outwards in all directions!
"So... so powerful!" Kryss widened his eyes in astonishment. At this moment, the youth was like a god of war; this was what a hero looked like!
"Boom!" Asta tapped the ground with one foot, emitting a violent sonic boom, and then his whole body seemed to dash more than ten meters away in the blink of an eye.
Must be fast! Must be fast!
But Asta still felt his speed was too slow because there were too many Headless Soldiers, pressing down on them like a tidal wave. If he couldn't find a way to break through as soon as possible, Noelle and the others would be in danger. This was definitely not a result Asta wanted to see!
One hundred meters!
Almost in an instant, Asta rushed in front of the leading Headless Soldiers.
Clack!
The Headless Soldiers in the front row uniformly raised the greatswords in their hands—these were identical to the demon-slayer sword!
Except for having no heads, they had preserved almost all their combat experience from when they were alive.
Therefore, only a dozen or so Headless Soldiers split off to surround Asta, while the remaining soldiers continued to march forward slowly but never retreated.
Boom, boom, boom!
For a moment, countless greatswords clashed, sending out sparks like metal being forged!
Truly extraordinary!
This was Asta's assessment of these Headless Soldiers!
No wonder the members of the bandit group and Kryss viewed these Headless Soldiers as a nightmare; such combat power and defense were indeed rare!
However, no matter how rare, they were ultimately products that had crossed the long river of time, so under Asta's frenzied slashing, these armors and heavy swords quickly crumbled to pieces!
Asta discovered that every soldier had a red gem embedded in their chest. As long as the gem was shattered, these soldiers would immediately return to dust, but these Headless Soldiers would protect the gems on their chests as if they were protecting their hearts!
"System, exchange for 3000 Kunai!" Asta said immediately.
"Items delivered. 1 point for 10 Kunai. 300 points deducted this time!" The system said immediately.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Every time Asta waved his hand, he would throw out 4 Kunai, and these Kunai would precisely shatter the chests of the Headless Soldiers who were not participating in the battle.
"Hum!" Very quickly, perhaps because Asta's slaughter was too outrageous, a deep blue beam of light shone onto his face. Only then did Asta see clearly that the Headless Soldiers holding the gems were not only holding huge gems, but were also Headless Generals!
"Whoosh!" A Headless General wearing a blue cape followed the guidance of the deep blue beam, raised a huge wind blade like an eagle striking from the sky, and smashed it down toward Asta!
"Asta!" Noelle exclaimed. As the huge wind blade landed, the monstrous hurricane instantly blew all the surrounding Headless Soldiers away into nothingness. This terrifying destructive power made everyone present tremble with fear!
"Gate of Life!" In this split second, Asta opened the third gate of the Eight Gates, the 'Gate of Life.' This was also the last line of safety for the Eight Gates. At this moment, Asta's body began to turn blood-red due to the rush of blood, and the green light radiating from his body shone brilliantly!
"Although it's still a bit of a stretch to open the 'Gate of Life' right now, you're not bad!" Asta's eyes burned with raging fighting spirit. He had finally found an opponent who could engage him in physical combat!
