"I feel like I overpaid!"
Adam found an empty spot, gnawing on a beef leg, wondering if Latin had tricked him.
After all, when merchants talk about Yul Coins, they're no longer friends, and Latin was originally his "enemy."
"Sigh! I haven't sent money to the church this month. I'll have to borrow some from Noelle."
Light snow began to fall. Adam stretched out his hand, and a snowflake landed on his palm, melting instantly.
"Snow in June isn't a good omen..."
Thump!
The ground seemed to tremble. In the distance, a massive, silver-white creature was walking towards Adam.
A Magic Bear?
"Dragon Blast!"
Without a word, Adam fired a searing beam of light at the silver-white magical beast.
Bang!
Snowflakes mixed with dirt scattered in the air, and the massive creature's figure vanished right before Adam's eyes.
"How did it disappear?"
Adam rubbed his eyes, staring ahead in disbelief.
"It shrunk!"
The three-meter-tall "Magic Bear" had actually transformed into a palm-sized little rabbit.
If it hadn't moved, Adam wouldn't have noticed it at all.
"Don't run!"
Adam's face lit up. He wrapped up the highly nourishing parts of the black ox, abandoning the remaining meat, and quickly chased after the "Magic Bear"!
Animal transformation!
Could it be... the power of the monkey!
...In Nean City, at Rebecca's house.
"Asta, go to hell!"
A flash of purple light. Asta happened to roll over, dodging Gauche's Demon Mirror Ray.
"Nosebleed Senior, what are you doing?"
"Die!"
Gauche blew a large hole in the attic, sending Asta flying out.
"Stop fighting, the children are gone."
Rebecca walked out of the room, looking anxious. Her two younger siblings were missing.
"I don't care, Asta must die!"
That guy, Gauche, only cared about his sister and nothing else.
"The church children are also gone."
The nun from Nean City Church, a former member of the Crimson Lion Magic Knights, an old woman with a scar over her left eye, said.
"Where's Marie?"
Theresa shook her head. Gauche, furious, fired a beam of light, which Asta deflected with his magic sword.
"Nosebleed Senior, what do you want?" Asta shouted.
"Old woman, if anything happens to Marie..."
"There's some festival going on here. I just saw all the children heading in that direction."
Noelle pointed her right hand in the direction the children had left. She hadn't slept half the night and happened to see the scene just now.
Where did Adam go!
Noelle was still worrying when Asta spoke up: "Gauche Senior and I will go after them. Noelle, you stabilize the situation here and contact for support."
"I'll go too, old woman!" Theresa jumped onto her broom, looking serious.
"Stop rambling, I'm going to save Marie."
"I can't fly!"
Asta quickly grabbed the broom head from Gauche, and the Three people immediately flew off.
"It's the Magic Knights..."
..."Got you!"
Adam excitedly pressed the "rabbit" to the ground. The golden grimoire flipped open and instantly absorbed the "magic beast."
"Haha, it really is a monkey, and the circle is full."
Adam quickly picked up the golden grimoire and carefully examined it.
The monkey on the ninth page was already in a full circle state, and even half of the monkey pattern was lit up.
The ox on the second page was also activated, though the circle was only one-eighth lit, so the money wasn't wasted.
The monkey's ability allows for animal transformation. The second stage can even transform inanimate objects into animals, and only in the final stage can it transform all things.
"At least I have the power to protect myself."
Adam looked very excited. Although he possessed half the magic power of the Magic Palace, in essence, he was a magic-less person.
As long as he didn't use magic power pressure, others couldn't sense him through magic power. Coupled with the monkey's ability, if he couldn't win, he could certainly hide.
"Eh! Isn't that Asta? Hey!!"
The Three people in the distance, Asta, were speeding along on brooms, not hearing Adam's call at all!
"Did you hear something?" Asta shouted, hanging in mid-air, clutching the broom head with both hands.
"Stop talking nonsense! Don't you know Marie is in danger! I'm going to save her!"
Gauche accelerated, and Theresa quickly followed.
"I'm going!"
Adam looked bewildered. Why didn't these guys wait for him? Could something have happened?
"Clever monkey, grant me the seventy-two transformations!"
Adam transformed into an eagle and quickly chased after Asta and the others in the direction they had left... Underground cave.
"This one's drained!"
An ugly-looking fellow threw a child aside and shouted at the blue-haired youth, "Neige, quickly grab that high-quality one!"
"Yes, brother."
Neige grabbed Marie and walked towards the magic power extraction device.
"Marie!"
"onii-chan (big brother)!"
Gauche's face lit up, but upon closer inspection, Marie's face had slight scratches.
"You bastards, what did you do to my Marie?"
Gauche was furious. His purple grimoire furiously flipped, and astonishing magic power erupted from his entire body.
"Mirror Secret Art, Repeated Reflection!"
Countless mirrors reflected dazzling purple light, striking towards Neige.
"Snow Secret Art, come forth! My friend."
Neige used magic to create a pile of snowmen, which charged towards Gauche.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Neige's snowman friends couldn't withstand Gauche's attack at all and were instantly annihilated. He was also sent flying.
Seeing the situation was bad, Barro was about to hijack Marie.
"Don't move, or else..."
Just as Barro was about to grab Marie, a buzzing little mosquito suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, used the ox's strength, and kicked him flying.
Creak!
Two of Barro's ribs broke. The intense pain made him collapse to the ground, falling unconscious.
"An eagle's speed is much faster than a chicken's!"
Adam held Marie, smiling, and said, "Little sister, don't be afraid, big brother chased away the bad guys!"
"Big brother..." Marie's face was shy. The little girl's soft, sweet voice nearly broke Gauche's heart as he stood in the distance.
"Big brother..." Gauche was petrified.
His precious sister actually called someone else 'big brother.'
"Adam!"
"Gauche Senior!"
Adam smiled and greeted Gauche, but what he received was a beam of light.
"What the! Big brother Gauche, what on earth do you want?" Adam was baffled. What was wrong with this bastard with the slanted bangs!
"Adam, put my sister down, I'm going to kill you!"
"Nosebleed Senior!"
Asta jumped down from the old woman's broom, stood in front of Adam, and directly dispersed the light wave.
"Big brother, don't be like this!"
Adam put Marie down. The little girl ran to Gauche and began to scold him.
"Big brother, how can you be like this..."
Adam then turned to look at the fallen Barro, hurriedly ran to his side, and gave him a few more kicks.
"Adam, what are you doing!"
"Finishing him off, to prevent him from playing dead!" After kicking him, Adam looked at the blue-haired man sitting on the ground, looking dazed.
"Kid, are you going to hand over your grimoire yourself, or should I beat you up and then take the book?"
Adam's fierce expression directly scared Neige silly. This guy, who had been knocked down by one of Gauche's attacks, could only tremblingly hand over the book.
"Now that's a good child!"
Adam nodded with satisfaction, looking like a teachable child!
"Who is this guy?" Theresa asked, her mouth twitching slightly.
"Adam! One of my rivals!" Asta said proudly.
"How lively!"
The mad scientist of the Eye of the Midnight Sun, Sally, wearing black-rimmed glasses, stood above the cave with a foolish grin.
"Anti-Magic brat, you won't escape this time!"
Adam looked at the crazy woman above with a helpless expression. Why, despite avoiding all factors, were these guys like flies, endless?
"Sigh! After getting rid of this one, other flies will come!" Adam extended his right hand, a hint of indifference on his face.
These detestable villains, after dealing with the younger ones, the older ones come. It's truly annoying.
Adam had already considered himself the embodiment of justice!
A thoroughly righteous character!
Licht, Lotus: Shameless bastards who only attack below the belt, what right do they have to consider themselves on the side of justice!
