"Behold my crimson lancer majesty annihilator!" Magna summoned his magic broom and charged into the cave imposingly. By this time, Gauche, Theresa, and Vanessa had already entered.
"Such combat technique..." Seeing Asta fighting two opponents simultaneously with such ease, Theresa couldn't help but be shocked.
"As expected of Asta!" Vanessa smiled slightly. She had known about Asta's strength back when they fought the Headless King in the Strong Magic Zone.
"You two continue evacuating the children, I'm going to fight!" Gauche said assertively and joined the battle.
"That works too!" Theresa thought for a moment and continued transporting the children with Vanessa.
"They have reinforcements again. Should I tell the master?" Valtos muttered to himself upon seeing this. He finally decided to report it. Although acting without orders would be punished, it was better than an accident happening.
"Mirror Magic: Reflected Beam!" Gauche tested the waters by firing three beams. One hit Baro in the head, one in the heart, and another was aimed straight at Sally's chest.
It must be said, Gauche's combat experience was truly rich.
The attacks he unleashed didn't aim elsewhere, they targeted vital points!
"Oh my, another formidable guy has arrived. The attack speed of Mirror Magic is quite fast too!" Although Sally knew her magic countered Gauche's to some extent, she didn't underestimate him. After all, you can tell an expert by their first move; Gauche's probing attack proved everything.
"Attacks on both of them are ineffective?" Gauche instantly gathered a lot of information through the probing attack. Baro, the mud monster, couldn't be treated as a normal living being and could only be killed by draining his magic. Sally's gel could refract his beam attacks. So, both of them countered him to some extent!
"Be careful, sister-complex senior! Both of these guys are very troublesome, and there's a user of Spatial Magic hiding in the shadows!" Asta said, coming to Gauche's side.
"Who are you calling a sister-complex senior!" Gauche roared.
"Uh, sorry, it was a slip of the tongue!" Asta smiled apologetically. Then he saw his grimoire glowing on its own. Only then did he remember he also had a demon-slaying sword!
"No Leaf on the Blooming Flower!"
"demon-slaying sword!" Asta drew it and swung horizontally. A violet-colored slash of light sped towards Baro!
"Isn't this my Mirror Magic? But the power is much greater than mine!" Gauche was shocked looking at the light slash. When did Asta absorb his magic?
"What? What! The second sword can actually unleash a slash of Anti-Magic!" Sally excitedly crawled out of Salamander just to see it more clearly.
"Kid, when did you steal my magic!" Gauche grabbed Asta's clothes angrily.
"Gauche-senpai, please calm down first. This is the ability of my second sword; it can absorb magic and make it its own. But as expected of Gauche-senpai's magic, the power of this strike is huge. If I could unleash many such swords, then both Sally and Baro would be completely countered!" Asta said.
"If I could unleash many swords?" Gauche was stunned upon hearing this. His magic was ineffective when he used it for attacks, but it was very effective when used in Asta's attacks. So, what if he lent his magic to Asta?
When Gauche thought of this, he suddenly felt a fluctuation in his grimoire. This was a sign of a new magic being born!
"I've been stagnant all this time. I never thought I'd have a breakthrough today because of this kid. No, this is all thanks to Angel Marie. It was her words that woke me up. Bonds! Is this the power of bonds!" Gauche could never have imagined that a change in his thinking could lead to the birth of new magic!
"Hey, Asta, unleash another one for me to see!" Sally waved.
"Tch, don't get cocky, you stinking woman!" Gauche became angry. Then he pushed aside the bangs on his left forehead, revealing a Mirror Eye!
"Good grief!" Asta was surprised. He didn't expect Gauche to have magic similar to a Dojutsu!
"Mirror Magic: Mirror Multi-Clone!" Gauche roared. This new magic actually acted on Asta. One, two, three, four... in the blink of an eye, the entire cave was filled with Asta's figures. The key was that every one of these mirror clones was holding the demon-slayer sword and the demon-slaying sword!
"This is amazing!" Asta was shocked. Doesn't this mean he could fight while wielding so many Anti-Magic swords?
"Eight Gates!"
"Gate of Opening!" Asta didn't open more, fearing he wouldn't be able to control it. He was just testing it this time. After creating multiple mirror clones, he activated the Eight Gates on his main body to see how the mirror clones would react!
"Holy crap! I must notify the master. One brat is already deadly, but with so many brats, they'll turn the world upside down!" Valtos couldn't sit still anymore. If he kept watching, Sally would definitely be dead!
"Ahhh, so many?!" Sally was now panicked too. She only wanted to see one Asta wield the demon-slaying sword once; she never wanted to see so many Astas wielding the demon-slaying sword together!
"This is perfect! Although the other clones have some attenuation, this attenuation is completely negligible given the massive quantity!" After Asta opened the first gate of the Eight Gates, his brain's control over his body was completely released. With this body exerting 100% of its strength, Sally and Baro were completely unable to resist!
"Hey! Hurry up and end the battle! The stronger the strength your clones exert, the faster my magic is consumed. I can't hold on much longer!" Gauche couldn't help but roar. He had been in a near-full magic state when he entered, as he hadn't used much magic. But after releasing this magic, his magic was gushing out like it was pouring from a large hole in a container!
You have to know, he was of noble birth!
A noble's magic is inherently extremely abundant, and he was a standout among them, yet even with full magic, he couldn't withstand the consumption of this magic!
So he estimated that this should be related to the strength of the mirror clones!
"Got it, sister-complex senior!" Asta also faintly felt that the mirror clones were starting to collapse, so he hurriedly swung the demon-slaying sword in his hands in one go. Hundreds of slashes hit Baro and Sally's Salamander simultaneously, and both instantly crumbled!
"So—so amazing!" Luck arrived at the last moment of Asta's attack and happened to see this extremely spectacular scene!
"Well done!" Gauche clenched his fists excitedly. His new magic was indeed powerful!
"K-killed in one hit?" Valtos widened his eyes. Baro was left with only his clothes, and Sally drifted down like a kite with a broken string!
However, she didn't land completely; instead, she fell into someone's arms.
"Licht has finally arrived!" Valtos said excitedly.
"To think you've beaten my kin like this, unforgivable!"
