While on the move, Asta suddenly sensed something and quickened his pace.
Seeing this, the others had no choice but to quicken their own pace as well.
Upon arriving, Asta saw a giant diamond sword falling from the sky.
He charged forward with his blade raised and relied on the Demon-Slayer Sword’s ability to cleave through the falling diamond sword.
Upon arrival, Leon did not say a word.
He immediately summoned a tank and fired at the target.
After all, he wanted to end this battle quickly.
He still had new research to conduct.
A single cannon shot sent Mars, who was at the center of the explosion, flying.
Leon then began storing magic power again, preparing for the next bombardment.
However, Mars, having taken Leon’s attack head-on, stood up without a scratch.
However, the very next second he was sent flying again by Asta’s Demon-Slayer Sword.
At the same time, Leon’s next cannon shot was ready.
“Bang!” Mars, who was sent flying backward, took this cannonball head-on once again.
Just like that, Mars was blasted directly into the water.
Just as the group thought it was over, they saw Mars’s grimoire suddenly glow with blue light.
A giant diamond beast emerged from the water, with Mars safely encased within it, completely unharmed.
Seeing that he remained unscathed despite taking two of his cannon shots, Leon’s desire to develop new weapons grew even stronger.
With thoughts of researching new weapons in mind, Leon prepared to use Erha’s magic to end the battle.
“Erha!” [“Understood!”] As soon as he spoke, Leon’s originally silver grimoire was engulfed in darkness, turning jet black.
“Devour Magic: Feast of the Demon King!” As the spell was cast, the giant diamond beast in front of them vanished, and along with it the magic power inside Mars’s body also disappeared.
Sensing the loss of his magic power, Mars shouted in panic, “What did you do?!” Chewing on the magic power he had just devoured, Leon swallowed it and grinned.
“Just having a hearty meal!” Mars, with all his magic power gone, collapsed to the ground weak.
Seeing that the battle had finally ended, Leon cancelled Erha’s magic, and the grimoire’s color returned to silver.
[“Leon, we still cannot use it for very long!”] Leon said helplessly while constantly suppressing the urges within his heart.
“Yeah, I was almost taken over by that power.
Thankfully I cancelled it in time.
Otherwise I am afraid I would not have been able to stop myself from devouring everything here.” [“As expected, it is because I am too weak.
That is why Leon’s consciousness was affected by Devour Magic.”] Hearing this, Leon gently comforted Erha.
“After all, you are only five years old.
Besides, I am also too weak.
But Devour Magic really is strong.
To think it swallowed all of Mars’s magic in a single hit.” [“Of course, this is a magic that can devour everything.”] “Which just makes you a glutton.” [“Leon!
You are mean!”] Feeling the desires within his body fade, Leon then joined the others as they headed toward the treasure vault.
Upon arriving at the vault, Leon looked at the piles of gold and silver treasure but felt no interest.
After all, these were of no use to him.
It would be much more practical to just give him new weapons.
“Ah, ow, ow, ow!
Nero, what are you doing?!” Following the sound, he saw Asta being dragged by Nero to a wall which had some kind of thing on it that he did not recognize.
Seeing Nero pecking at Asta repeatedly, Leon laughed and said, “Hahaha, perhaps Nero is trying to tell you to break this wall.” As Leon spoke, Nero stopped pecking and nodded.
Hearing Leon’s words, Asta rolled up his sleeves, raised his sword, and smashed it against the wall.
The next second the wall shattered, and behind it was another sword.
Seeing the sword in front of him, Asta picked it up and shouted excitedly, “What is this?!” Watching Asta’s comical expression, Leon could not help but laugh.
Asta, Yuno, you have finally obtained new power.
But perhaps due to Leon’s previous explosive method of traveling, or perhaps because they had triggered a trap within the dungeon, the entire place began to collapse.
As the collapse began, Yuno hurriedly used his magic.
“Ark of the Sky Wind.” Then he urged everyone to hurry up and get on.
Leon, who was busy collecting gold, saw the dungeon collapsing.
He quickly stopped what he was doing and used his flying device to leap onto Yuno’s ark.
Once everyone was on board, Yuno flew outward guided by Luck.
During the flight, rocks kept falling from above but they were easily dealt with by the group’s magic.
Eventually the group finally escaped the collapsing dungeon.
After coming out, everyone felt the joy of surviving, except for Luck who actually said, “That was really fun!” To this Leon could only express that he was long since used to it.
Then Yuno pointed in a direction, and the group left the collapsing dungeon on Yuno’s ark.
…
P.S.
Devour Magic can actually consume the magic power within others, but it will not be fatal.
Those whose magic is consumed can recover it naturally.
Furthermore, after consuming others’ magic, the protagonist’s own magic power will increase accordingly, though not by much.
Of course, it can also be used to recover lost magic power.
The only aftereffect is that neither the protagonist nor Erha can control this magic, unless the protagonist’s magic power reaches the Zero Domain, or Erha gains full control over Devour Magic.
Otherwise, using it for too long will cause the protagonist to lose consciousness and become a demon that devours everything.
