"So what if I hurt them?" Vetto cast a vicious glance at Noelle. He couldn't wait for Asta to arrive; he was going to tear Noelle apart right now!
"Run, Noelle!" Magna lifted his blood-covered head and shouted with the very last ounce of his strength.
"How could I possibly abandon my comrades and run away?" Noelle shook her head, refusing.
"Noelle, listen to me. The best solution right now is to get help. Asta is very strong; he will definitely teach this guy a lesson!" Kahono's voice suddenly rang in Noelle's mind. Noelle was startled and quickly looked toward Kahono, seeing her trying her best to force a smile at her.
"Kahono..." Noelle felt her tears welling up.
"Go quickly." Even at this moment, Kahono was as gentle as her singing voice.
"I understand!" Noelle immediately turned and ran. She now had only one conviction: to find Asta!
"Still not dead? Looks like that wasn't enough, huh?" Hearing that Magna could still speak, Vetto immediately stomped hard on Magna's back again. Magna instantly vomited blood. Vetto smiled triumphantly, "This should do it, right?"
After Vetto finished speaking, seeing that Magna didn't even have the strength to breathe, he immediately took a step toward Noelle. However, just as he moved his right leg, Luck reached out a hand and grabbed his ankle tightly.
"Hah!" Vetto sneered, intending to drag Luck along as he walked. But just as he moved his left leg, a pair of trembling hands, refusing to let go, grabbed his left leg!
It was Magna!
Magna was giving it his all, fighting with his life on the line. He knew he probably wouldn't make it, so all he wanted to do now was fulfill his final duty as a senior: in a moment of crisis, let the juniors they usually teased get away first!
"Let go! Let go! Let go!" Vetto violently shook the two of them. Magna and Luck were being tossed around like balls. However, after seeing each other in mid-air, they couldn't help but laugh—partly at each other's disheveled state, and partly because their hearts were in sync!
"If Noelle gets hurt, that guy would be really sad, wouldn't he?" Magna finally closed his eyes as his strength faded, and his hands, which had been gripping Vetto, gradually loosened.
"I'm actually preventing another truly terrifying guy from descending. If Noelle dies, I'm afraid no one could withstand Asta's fury, not even a Demon God..." Luck was also tossed aside by Vetto.
"Magna! Luck!" Yami roared in a fit of rage from the safe house. His Dark Magic erupted like a volcanic eruption, shocking Gifso, who was nearby, so much that he fell to the ground, muttering constantly, "What kind of Magic Knight Squad are the Black Bulls anyway!"
The whole squad seemed to have no normal people, but they were surprisingly united, never abandoning each other in life-or-death situations!
The whole squad seemed to consist of the weakest mages, but each one could unleash astonishing potential!
Is such a Magic Knight Squad really the weakest existence in the Clover Kingdom?
If that were really the case, then just how strong must the other Magic Knight Squads be to suppress the Black Bulls!
Yami walked to the barrier in a rage and drew his katana again. This time, the grimoire in front of him moved without wind!
"It's useless. No one can escape my barrier. You might as well obediently wait for Lord Vetto to descend!" The member of the Eye of the Midnight Sun laughed arrogantly. However, the next moment, he stood frozen in place like a stone statue!
"Dark Cloaked Dimension Slash!" With one slash, Yami cut through the safe house, the barrier, and the member of the Eye of the Midnight Sun. Then, he rushed out and headed toward the battlefield!
"So powerful!" Gifso exclaimed, then quickly rode a small dragon and rushed out as well. He had to find his grandchildren and son!
"Now, there's no one left to protect you, right!" Vetto stared at Noelle with eyes full of murderous intent.
"Is this the end?" Noelle thought of Vetto's brutality and felt that she had reached her end.
"I'm going to break your arms first, then snap your legs, and then drain all your sinful blood!" Vetto approached Noelle step by step like a beast. He knew this was the moment of deepest despair, and he wanted to make Noelle's despair last a little longer!
"What are you talking about?" Asta appeared out of thin air. He was holding Vanessa with his left arm, and his right hand held the demon-slayer sword high, slashing down fiercely at Vetto. Vetto blocked with both hands, only to be knocked more than a dozen meters away by the immense force.
"Teleportation?!" Vanessa was stunned. A moment ago, they had clearly been over a hundred meters away from Vetto, yet after Asta threw a Kunai, they had arrived at the scene instantly!
"Asta!" Noelle rushed toward Asta with tears in her eyes. After Asta set Vanessa down with his left hand, he nodded slightly at Noelle, then charged toward Vetto without looking back!
At this moment, his eyes were blood-red. With the support of the Mangekyo Sharingan, he could instantly analyze the battlefield. He saw that Magna and Luck, whom he spent every day with, had been beaten into unrecognizable shapes by Vetto. And there was Kahono—her singing voice was so beautiful, her way of speaking so sunny, yet now her vocal cords had been pierced?
He was very unhappy right now, and the consequences would be severe!
"System, redeem six bottles of healing spring water!" Asta wasn't stingy this time; he directly redeemed six bottles of healing spring water and tossed them to Vanessa. Vanessa understood immediately and used her threads to catch the healing spring water, then said to Noelle, "Little Noelle, let's distribute these to them together!"
"Okay!" Noelle nodded heavily. She knew the power of Asta's potions; everyone could finally be saved!
"You've finally arrived, Anti-Magic brat. Let's see if you can still go toe-to-toe with me in close combat now!" Vetto charged toward Asta, full of confidence.
At this moment, Asta had already opened the Gate of View when he slashed at Vetto. However, his full-power strike had only knocked Vetto flying backward for a dozen meters!
This showed that with his third eye opened, Vetto's close-combat ability had indeed significantly improved.
"Since the Gate of View isn't enough, what about the Gate of Shock?" Asta looked at Vetto with cold, blood-red eyes. His brutal training these past few days hadn't been in vain. He could feel that his body was now capable of touching the threshold to open the Gate of Shock. But if he forced it open, the aftereffects would be extremely severe, causing great damage to his body. Moreover, the state could only be maintained for a very short time, and it wouldn't be the complete Gate of Shock, but it would definitely be much stronger than what he had now!
