After stepping through Finral’s Spatial Magic portal, Leon only saw a flash of light pass before his eyes.
But the next second, it was slashed apart by Yami’s sword.
Asta looked at the three people who had suddenly appeared and asked in confusion, “Captain Yami, why are you here?” Hearing Asta’s words, Yami took a puff of his cigarette and said slowly, “Do you even need to ask?
I am lost.
Point me in the right direction.” Watching Yami try to look cool, Leon instantly felt his entire body go numb.
But immediately after, he looked solemnly at Licht in the distance while holding his newly modified Barrett in his hands.
Asta said, “Captain!
Are you lost?” Leon, who was in a serious standoff with Licht, felt his mouth twitch uncontrollably upon hearing Asta’s blunt question.
The next second, Yami reached out and grabbed the top of Asta’s head.
He said, “You idiot.
How could I be lost?
That was a joke.
I am not a directionally challenged person like Leon.” Asta said, “Eh?!
Brother Leon is here too??” Seeing that he had finally been noticed by Asta, Leon waved his hand and gave a friendly greeting, though he never lowered the gun in his hand.
Afterwards, Yami continued to Asta, “I am from the Magic Knights, so of course I had to come.
The guys at the base are more unreliable than the last, so I brought Leon along.
He is just going to destroy the base if he is left idling there anyway.
As for the others, I will slaughter them when I get back.” What do you call this?
This is called turning the tables.
He had clearly been forced to agree, yet in Yami’s words, it was as if Yami had brought him along just because he was afraid he would blow up the base again.
Hearing this, Leon shook his head and sighed, “The world is not what it used to be…” But when Leon looked up, he suddenly discovered that Licht had disappeared from his field of vision at some point.
Seeing Licht vanish, Leon’s expression clearly showed panic and his pupils could not help but constrict.
The next second, Licht suddenly appeared on the rocky ground not far away, gazing at him with burning eyes.
Feeling Licht’s gaze, Leon felt goosebumps rise all over his body.
Just as Leon was feeling lingering fear, he heard the others’ discussion.
Yami said, “Whew~ tell me, what is up with that guy?
He is staring at us so intently.” Asta said, “That guy seems to be the leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun.” Finral said, “The…
Eye of the Midnight Sun?!” Yami said, “Eh…
I thought for sure he would be a hulking muscle man who could stuff a whole cow in his mouth, but he is so slender.” Listening to their bizarre discussion, Leon felt the tension in his body ease up quite a bit.
Just as they were discussing, Valtos, who used Spatial Magic, arrived at Licht’s side and asked, “This is the captain of the Black Bulls, right?
Should I call the Third Eye over?” Licht replied, “No need.
I am actually looking forward to fighting him, the one who uses Dark Magic.
Besides, I still need to take my dearest Harlen back home.” Leon, who was loading his bullets, suddenly felt a chill down his spine and could not help but shiver.
Then Leon secretly muttered in his heart, “As expected, Yami is my natural nemesis.
I am going to get him a bottle of fake booze when I get back.” The next second, Leon suddenly raised the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger, shattering a flying sword of light.
As Leon shattered the sword of light, Yami also surged toward Licht with Dark Magic wrapped around his blade.
Yami continued to speak in a flat tone, “Not bad.
Bringing you along was definitely a good choice.” Seeing Yami charging at him, Licht used Light Magic to teleport to the side.
Then he said in a gentle tone, “Then I will deal with you first, and then I will take Harlen home.
Light Magic: Sword of Judgement.” As soon as he finished speaking, countless swords of light appeared around Licht and attacked Yami.
While the two were locked in a stalemate, Yami hacked and slashed while curiously saying, “Have I seen you somewhere before?
But among the people I know, none of them use Light Magic.
Who exactly are you, and why do you find such pleasure in doing this?” Licht said, “Let me tell you a story.
Once upon a time, in a certain village, there was a group of people with powerful magic.
They were a group favored by mana.
They could change the weather, manipulate the flow of underground water, and possessed god-like power.
The people outside the village revered them like gods.
However, people slowly began to fear and envy their power, wanting to possess it for themselves.
They launched a despicable sneak attack, slaughtered everyone, and took their power.
Even though their guardian fought back with all their might, they still died at the hands of the people.” Hearing the story Licht told, Yami felt like he was being played, so he said, “What kind of story is this?
And what does this have to do with you?
Are you trying to be a bard?” Seeing that Licht did not reply, Yami continued, “Then let me tell you a little story too.
In a certain place, there was an innocent young boy whose parents were both fishermen, so he started going out to sea to fish from a young age.” Clang!
Yami said, “Then his ship was shipwrecked, and he drifted to some bizarre country.
Differences in race and culture led him to be viciously bullied.
However, he defeated everyone, dominated a squad, and became the boss.
The end!” As his voice fell, Yami slashed apart a sword of light Licht was about to release.
Then he landed on the ground, took a puff of his cigarette, and continued, “Whew~ how was that?
A return gift for your little story.
Though, that was also the first half of my life.” Valtos said, “Bastard!
I will not allow you to mock Li…” Bang!
The sound of Leon suddenly pulling the trigger interrupted Valtos.
Then a scarlet bullet was seen shooting out from the muzzle of the gun in Leon’s hand.
It flew rapidly toward Licht’s body like a red meteor.
When Valtos reacted and tried to use Spatial Magic to divert the bullet, he saw a shocking scene.
The scarlet bullet shot from the muzzle instantly shattered Valtos’s Spatial Magic and then continued to shoot toward Licht without losing any speed.
When Leon saw the Spatial Magic being shattered, he held the gun upright and blew on the muzzle, which was still emitting wisps of smoke.
He said coolly, “Teleporting back and forth for so long, I have finally managed to get a bead on you this time.” After seeing the bullet shooting toward him, Licht did not immediately use Light Magic to teleport away.
Instead, he looked at Leon with burning eyes and whispered madly, “Do not worry, Harlen.
This time I will definitely take you back.
Once my goal is completed, we can continue to play happily together then!” As soon as he finished speaking, Licht instantly disappeared from where he was standing.
The next second he appeared in front of Leon, reaching out his hand as if to stroke Leon’s face.
But Licht’s movement was interrupted by a slash from Yami’s sword.
Yami said, “You bastard, what are you trying to do to my subordinate?” …
