"Help!"
"Who is so bold as to dare to show off in the Royal Capital?"
"The Magic Emperor will come to save us."
"My leg..."
Wails and cries for help were incessant; the entire Royal Capital was plunged into panic once more, but the populace steadfastly believed that the Magic Emperor would surely come to their rescue.
Under the collapsed house, a little girl wailed heartbrokenly. Her mother was pinned beneath a beam and was barely clinging to life.
"Mama, Mama."
Among the fleeing crowd, no one stopped to help the girl.
A dazzling blaze descended from the sky. The little girl knelt limply on the ground, her face filled with terror as she awaited death.
"Dormant Devil's."
Asta drew his dormant devil's sword and batted the flames back with a single strike. The blaze shot skyward, heading straight for the frenzied figure in the sky.
"Help!"
The King let out a pig-like shriek. He had been used as a human shield by Conrad and had a close encounter with the flames.
"Who is it?"
Conrad looked down. Asta was comforting the girl, and the black bull ship was lifting the collapsed house. The girl's mother was rescued.
"Seaweed Head, I'm here to deal with you."
Asta activated his devil power, dark wings unfurling behind him, and charged directly at Conrad.
"Key Magic, Absolute Firepower."
Countless green gates opened, and various magical attacks shot towards Asta.
With a series of "bang, bang, bang" sounds, Asta pulled out another magic sword and spun rapidly, forming a human top, heading straight for Conrad.
"Barrier Magic, Absolute Space."
Jester enveloped Asta with a barrier. Asta, who had not made a contract with a devil, was completely powerless to break free from a Magic Emperor-level restraint.
"Attribute Conversion — Water."
Grey shouted shyly.
The special barrier instantly turned into water. Asta's spin continued, and Conrad was sent flying before he could even react.
"Blazing Flame Kill Ball."
"Lightning Armor."
"Wrathful Sheep's Strike."
"Mirror Magic — Radiance."
The Black Bulls members unleashed their full power, attacking Jester. Asta also pressed his advantage, ready to shatter the fallen Conrad with a single blow.
"Brat, you've angered me!" Conrad roared, using a green door to directly jump into the sky. Asta missed completely.
A gigantic green door enveloped the entire Royal Capital. A massive golden key was inserted into the lock and slowly began to turn.
Jester immediately wrapped himself in a barrier, constantly dodging the Black Bulls' magical attacks.
"Asta, stop him quickly!" the Black Bulls members shouted.
"Understood."
Black lightning erupted from Asta's body, his entire form covered in dark matter, and his eyes turned blood red. He made his magic sword enormous, preparing to block the attack.
"Emperor's Bullet."
Conrad struck the green door with a single shot. The originally huge lightning ball transformed into a lightning bird with ruffled feathers.
"Two shots left."
Conrad poured all his magic into this strike. Since he couldn't change any of this, he would let the entire Royal Capital be buried with him.
"Lumiel, be ready to act at any moment."
"Yes."
Lumiel stood up from the sofa. Reborn, he was already impatient.
"It's not over yet."
Asta held the giant magic sword in front of him and charged directly towards the lightning bird.
Powerful currents leaped across Asta's body. His unhealed scars split open even wider.
Asta's entire body was charred black by the electricity, yet he gripped the magic sword tightly, refusing to let go.
"Hehe, I really can't do anything about you. Forced into a corner again, I'll lend you my strength."
His half-brother exerted his power again.
This little devil continuously poured power into Asta.
With a "bang," Asta directly passed through the lightning bird, shattering the green door with a single strike.
"What?"
With a "slash" sound, a wound appeared on Conrad's chest, and blood continuously gushed out.
"Surrender now."
Asta pointed his magic sword at him. A strange curve appeared on Conrad's originally terrified face.
"Surrender? Then you should say goodbye, shouldn't you?"
"Owoo~"
The lightning bird actually came back to life, letting out a mournful cry that echoed through the heavens, and plunged straight downwards.
"Light Magic, Sword of Judgment."
A gigantic light sword cleaved the lightning bird in half. The bullet made from the emperor sword was exposed. With a "snap," Lumiel shattered it with a light orb.
"This is not the place for you to run wild. Surrender obediently!"
Lumiel shouted, and the entire populace of the Royal Capital, including the other Magic Knights who had come to help, all froze in place.
This imposing figure, they felt like they had seen him somewhere before.
"It's the First Magic Emperor!"
The story of the First Magic Emperor defeating the Demon God and saving the Clover Kingdom was etched into the heart of every Clover citizen.
Now, the statue of the First Magic Emperor still guarded the kingdom's border. The appearance of this legendary figure gave hope to the entire kingdom.
"It's the First Magic Emperor, we're saved!"
"I can't believe my eyes."
"Mama, he looks like the person on the first page of our textbook!"
"Silly child, he is that person, the hero of our Clover Kingdom."
The most incredulous person was Little Black, who had just returned from Hage Village after sensing the destruction of the First Magic Emperor's statue.
"Your Highness..."
"Secre, long time no see."
Lumiel smiled as he looked at Secre.
The woman couldn't believe her eyes. She feared that all of this was her own imagination.
How could the prince, who was impossible to revive, be alive again?
"This is not the time for reminiscing."
Lumiel pointed his light sword at Conrad and shouted, "In your current state, you can't defeat me at all. Surrender quickly and strive for leniency from the boss."
"First Generation?"
Conrad was also startled by Lumiel's sudden appearance, but he quickly recovered. He and Jester had no turning back.
Ever since his beloved woman was persecuted by the nobles, his heart had long since died.
Conrad prepared for one last frenzy. He took out a bullet and handed it to Jester, a playful look in his eyes: "Jester, are you scared?"
"Conrad, you must be joking, right? I've already died once, what else is there to fear?"
Jester took the bullet. He was a dignified Magic Emperor; how could he end so ignominiously?
"Clover Kingdom, welcome our flames of revenge."
With two "gulp" sounds, Conrad and Jester simultaneously swallowed the "bullets."
The kind Adam stared intently at the two in the palace. He felt that things were becoming even more complicated.
"Roar, roar!"
A monstrous sound that pierced the sky, and an overwhelming sense of oppression swept through the entire Royal Capital.
The two Demon Gods revived by Dante had already arrived outside the Royal Capital.
The "thump, thump" of their heartbeats was like a hammer blow in everyone's mind.
Jester and Conrad suddenly swelled to nearly a hundred feet, black pus oozing from their bodies, and sharp horns and tails growing.
They transformed into Demon Gods.
Only exceptional individuals could become Demon Gods.
"Die."
Four waves of light from different directions swept across the entire Royal Capital. The four Demon Gods unleashed their power simultaneously, intending to turn the entire Clover into a fiery hell.
"Roar of the Sea Dragon!"
