He just didn't know what range Gauche's mana could sustain!
If it couldn't support him opening a higher gate of the Eight Gates, the effect wouldn't be very great.
"I can definitely perform the Multi Shadow Clone, but we can only choose one of these two types of magic!" Gauche's gaze also became fervent, feeling the thrill of a combined magic attack for the first time!
"Then... naturally, we attack!" Asta bit the tip of his tongue to keep himself conscious. Last time he tried opening the Gate of Opening; now he could try to see if he could open the Gate of Life!
"Ants, open your eyes and witness the power of a god!" Licht's state was becoming increasingly erratic. The powerful Light Magic erupting from his body actually formed a massive sphere of light, containing pure and lethal mana!
"Yes, this is the power! This is our Lord's true power! You snobs who look down on people, stop underestimating our Lord!" Valtos stood to the side, his eyes filling with tears of excitement.
"Damn! Even the ground is cracking, rubble is being sucked up, and Spatial Magic is being heavily interfered with. Are we going to die!" Finral clutched his head, his face twisting in fear.
"It seems things are looking bad!" Yami's expression also turned unusually serious.
"So huge—once such a massive mass of mana is released, everything in the vicinity will be destroyed, won't it?!" Charlotte opened her mouth in shock.
"Kekeke, does this leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun think we'll just stand here and let him cast his spell?"
"Death Scythe!" Jack the Ripper leapt up and unleashed his Severing Magic, which could easily level a mountain peak. However, the result was beyond his expectations—his Death Scythe was actually swallowed by the sphere of light!
"Not good! Licht wants to undo the Seal himself!" Vetto's expression changed for the first time. He hadn't even flinched when Asta hammered him into the ground, but now he grew panicked because the Seal was crucial to their future success!
"We absolutely cannot let Licht continue like this!" Lira said after most of his injuries had recovered.
"If this continues, Licht's body won't be able to handle it!" Fana said worriedly.
"Then we'll just have to deal with these insects next time!" Vetto and the other two quickly exchanged looks and came to an agreement.
"Trinity, Seal Magic!" The three of them stood in their respective corners, forming a stable triangular structure. Then, a surging magic power gushed out from their bodies. The three streams of magic power intertwined, quickly suppressing Licht.
"Stop dazing around, Little Val-chan. We're going back!" Lira brought Valtos, who was outside the battlefield, to the group at light speed, and Valtos hurriedly cast Spatial Magic.
"We really lost this time, but it wasn't due to a lack of strength; we were just careless. Next time, I'll make you taste despair, especially you, kid!" Vetto glared at Asta defiantly.
"Next time, if you're still so disrespectful, I'll send you to the sky." Asta rolled his eyes. He was still too weak; even after putting his life on the line to use the Gate of View, he still couldn't defeat the enemy.
Of course, this also had a lot to do with Fana's Recovery Magic, so this clash could only be described as a 40-60 split, with the Eye of the Midnight Sun at a slight disadvantage.
But if they truly fought to the death, no one knew how many hidden trump cards the other side still had. Thus, the best outcome of this confrontation was for both sides to retreat.
"Our leader's emotions are a bit high, so that's it for today. We'll keep an eye on you!" Lira gave Asta a deep look. He had been knocked down twice today, and both times could be said to be due to his lack of understanding of Asta's strength. He wouldn't let it happen a third time!
"The next time we meet, I'll use my full power. That will be the day you die!" Fana left some cold threats before disappearing.
"These three people can actually seal such incredible magic power so easily... They really haven't gotten serious yet, have they? Still, being able to drive them away like this, you're truly the man I've set my sights on." Charlotte glanced at Yami with a slight blush, only to find herself making eye contact with him.
"What's wrong?" Yami asked.
"Damn it—how did he catch me peeking? He won't get any weird ideas, will he? No, I have to dispel those thoughts of his!" Charlotte hurriedly composed her emotions, then looked up with a cold gaze and a mocking sneer, staring directly at the rock behind Yami. "(^) You useless man, actually struggling against that kind of trash!"
"So that's what you wanted to say. You're quite harsh!" Yami sighed slightly, then gave a well-meaning reminder, "If you're always so fierce, you won't be able to find a partner!"
"You're the one who needs to find a partner! I've already said I don't care; the battlefield is my partner. Compared to me, it seems like it'll be harder for you to find one!" Charlotte said in shame and anger.
"Haha, if we're both still single when we're old, let's just look after each other then." Yami couldn't help but laugh at Charlotte's embarrassed look.
"What kind of suggestive talk is that!" Charlotte's defenses completely crumbled. Was Yami implying that even if she didn't confess, the two of them would naturally end up together in the future? Was he making a promise to her?
At this moment, beneath Charlotte's cold exterior, her heart was already squealing with excitement.
"We won?" Finral was stunned. He hadn't expected that Licht, who seemed ready to destroy the world just a moment ago, would be taken away by his teammates the next. This victory really felt like a dream!
And more importantly, although the captains of three Magic Knight Squads had come to support them,
They just stood there. Throughout the entire process, only Jack the Ripper had cast a single spell.
So this was equivalent to the Black Bulls, with just their squad's strength, driving away the terrorist organization that posed the greatest threat to the kingdom?
"Great, we won! This is excellent capital to brag about at a mixer. Captain, please be sure to give me a day off when we get back. I want to organize another mixer!" Finral cheered.
"You don't seem to have contributed at all, have you?" Yami raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean? I was the one who sent those children back! I played a crucial transportation role in this operation!" Finral protested.
"That's true. I'll apply to headquarters later," Yami nodded.
