"Why is there still no heartbeat?"
Mimosa's expression turned a little dejected. If Adam didn't wake up, he might remain in this state of suspended animation forever.
Adam, asleep in an eternal dream, seemed to have arrived at the other shore.
The coexistence of good and evil was what prevented Adam from directly going to that world.
"Come back, you don't belong there."
Beneath the River of Rebirth, countless black hands stretched out, trying to drag Adam, who was on the bank, into the water.
"Dragon Blast."
Adam raised his hand and shot a pillar of energy at the black hands. With a "bang," a large hole was blasted through the black hands.
"Dragon..."
Before Adam could unleash his next energy pillar, more black hands surged from the water, directly dragging him into the river.
"Gurgle~"
Suddenly, Adam choked and couldn't breathe. Even the Ox Power couldn't break free from the black hands' grasp.
"Am I... stopping here?"
Scene after scene of the past echoed in Adam's mind.
From the moment he obtained his grimoire, his legendary life began.
The first Dragon Blast to teach the foul-mouthed man a lesson.
Instantly killing Latin in the entrance exam and being chosen by Captain Yami.
Attending the commendation ceremony and teaching the Royal Nobles a lesson.
Activating the perfect Dragon Power.
Fighting Licht, and at the cost of losing his Rooster Power, brutally crushing his magic orb.
Fiercely fighting the Three Demon Eyes, then heading to the Sea Temple to gain the Water Devil's power.
Eliminating Beto.
Going to the Magic Palace, gaining the dragon servant Xiao Lan (Little Blue), and growing together with Leona.
Creating the Children of the Sea, only to be sealed by Licht.
The dragon pendant shattering, gaining all the Zodiac Power of the twelve zodiac signs.
Dispelling word magic, seizing the emperor sword, slaying the Demon God, closing the Underworld... He was truly a young hero, incredibly magnificent.
These scenes passed before Adam's eyes like a fleeting glimpse.
Adam, lying in Mimosa's arms, emitted a faint light.
"What's going on?" Mimosa exclaimed in surprise.
Adam floated into mid-air, and the "thump-thump-thump" of his heartbeat spread throughout the entire battlefield.
A dazzling white light covered the entire Royal Capital, and injured comrades were healed by the power of the horse.
"Adam."
Leona punched her father away, a look of surprise and joy on her face.
The Sparta Brothers behind her, however, looked somewhat grim... "I will definitely prove myself, Roar of the Sea Dragon."
Noelle let out an angry shout, and a giant dragon head lunged towards Ashier.
Her older brothers and sisters behind her, seeing Noelle grow to this extent, lowered their heads in shame.
"I'll help you." Nozel trapped Ashier in a mercury cage. He couldn't let his deceased mother be used by the enemy again... Yami and Nacht controlled countless devils rushing towards Morgan, Xiao Shui and Admirer competed with the power of water elements, Lumiel and Princia worked together to defeat a clone of Lucius... The struggling crowd, healed by Adam's power, erupted with even greater strength.
"Die."
Yuno, whose magic had been greatly depleted, was invigorated by this power. With a single Starfall, he defeated Lucius's clone and arrived before the real Lucius.
"If the timeline hasn't changed, among the original thousands of timelines, only you could defeat me."
Lucius slowly rose from his throne, having mastered most of the magic in the grimoire tower.
He had to eliminate this minor threat in front of him here.
Only then could he focus on dealing with that fellow far away in the Spade Kingdom, and the "dead" Adam.
"I don't have time to play with you, Time Imprisonment."
"Starfall!"
..."No! I will never give up, I am Adam!"
Adam, deeply submerged and entangled by countless black hands in the water, erupted with a golden energy. His scorching body burned through the black hands, and the buoyancy of the Rooster Power lifted him out of his predicament.
With a "splash," Adam burst out of the River of Rebirth. The black hands, repelled by the intense heat, surged out of the river again, trying to drag him back into the water.
"I feel that power."
A golden grimoire appeared before Adam, and the eleventh page, with the dog's emblem, erupted with dazzling light.
"Loyal dog, protect my life eternally."
With a "whoosh," Adam vanished from the land of the other shore, leaving countless hands grasping at nothing... "Sylph."
Yuno, wearing a crown and a green cloak, holding a divine sword formed from both star and wind magic, with the Wind Spirit assimilated into him, entered his Spirit Dive form and continuously clashed with Lucius in the air.
Lucius "whooshed" behind Yuno, intending to capture him with Time Magic.
Unexpectedly, Yuno's reaction speed was incredibly fast, and he "whooshed" to create distance from Lucius.
"Wind Emperor Starfall Slash."
Yuno directly unleashed several slashes. With the dual enhancement of wind and stars, the light blades were incredibly fast.
"Time Domain."
A deep purple aura spread out. The moment the light blades touched the aura, they all stopped.
Lucius gently waved his hand, and these slashes dissipated within the domain.
"Gate of Magic."
A massive bronze gate unfolded before Lucius, and hundreds of spells rushed towards Yuno.
"Damn it."
Yuno could only hover continuously in the air to evade the pursuing magic.
"Got you."
Lucius "whooshed" to Yuno's side, and the Time Domain followed him.
Oh no.
Yuno was confined by the Time Domain, completely unable to move. Just as Lucius was about to crush him, a black figure rushed over from a distance.
"Let go of Yuno!"
Asta shouted, holding the dormant devil's sword. He charged directly into the aura, yet he wasn't confined.
This unusual power of Anti-Magic gave Asta a means to fight against strong opponents.
But it was only a means.
Lucius instantly vanished from his spot, dodging Asta's attack.
With a "smack," Lucius instantly reappeared, and a blue orb struck Asta's back, directly sending him flying.
With a "thud," Asta crashed heavily to the ground, and his devil power also dissipated.
"A lowly person with no magic, you don't even have a chance to enter the new world..."
Lucius abruptly turned his head, about to touch Yuno with his hands covered in Time Magic.
Slash!
How could this be?
A wound was slashed across Lucius's chest. He quickly teleported away, creating distance from Yuno.
"Anti-Magic power?" Lucius exclaimed in surprise.
Yuno held the Elemental Sword in his right hand and the dormant devil's sword in his left. The single wind wing on his back had also transformed into dual wings created by a devil and a spirit.
The moment Asta was sent flying, he transferred all his remaining devil power to Yuno.
"Even without magic, Asta never gave up. You will never understand the spirit of never giving up."
Yuno's gaze became even sharper. He pointed his magic sword at Lucius and shouted, "No one likes your bullshit new world. Your pipe dream will never come true."
"I will make you an inferior person in the new world, never to rise again for eternity."
Lucius's Time Domain expanded again, and he gritted his teeth as he shouted at Yuno, "That short, inferior product should be destroyed."
