Yami saw Asta and the mysterious young man across from him, looking defenseless. He raised his hand expressionlessly, grabbed Asta's head, and threw it backwards.

"Ah!" Asta shouted, and with a "plop", he fell into the sea behind.

Asta fluttered in the sea twice, and finally managed to catch the ice, with a depressed look on his face.

"You idiot, talking to such a dangerous guy."

Noelle quickly stretched out his hand and pulled Asta up from the sea. From time to time, he looked warily at Captain Yami and Yagi who were in the center of the ice, and spoke in a low voice.

"No, I don't think the other party is a bad person." Asta's wet body touched the ice, he shuddered subconsciously, and then muttered.

Yami didn't care about the conversation between Asta and Noelle later. He stared at Takaki coldly and reached out to pull out the sword from his waist.

"No matter who you are, I have no interest in chatting with you here. Hand over the magic stone."

Yami threw the cigarette in his mouth to the side. The sharp magic power radiated from Yami's body, forming a heavy pressure that filled the surrounding area.

Don't look at the mysterious young man opposite who seems to be easy to talk to. He can deal with an opponent of Werther's strength. No matter how easy the opponent is to talk, he can't help but be wary at night.

"I can give you the magic stone, but how about another trade?"

Takaki took out the magic stone from his pocket and held it casually in his hand. A smile suddenly appeared on his face and he looked at Yami with a smile.

Yami's hand holding the sword paused, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Although he had guessed that the other party's target was Witte with the White Night Demon Eye, he never expected that the other party was so indifferent to the magic stone.

Wait!

Yami's eyes when he looked at Tagi suddenly changed: "You are the masked man!"

The words "one more transaction" in the other party's words clearly indicate that this is not the first time that the other party has traded with him, and the only person who has ever traded with him is the mysterious masked man who appears through magic projection.

Takaki was still smiling, neither admitting nor denying.

However, Takaki's silent attitude at this moment is tantamount to admission in Yami's eyes.

At this moment, Yami finally understood why the other party's target was Werther.

According to previous guesses and information.

There is some kind of split within the White Night Demon Eye. Richter, the Three Demon Eyes and others who attacked the royal capital should be on the stronger side, while the mysterious masked man who delivered the message to him should be on the weak side.

Although the specific purpose of the other party is not clear, judging from the previous intelligence, it is simply that they want to use the power of the Magic Knights to eliminate Richter's powerful party.

Originally, Yami thought that the weaker side, the mysterious masked man, should be far weaker than Richter and others, but now, the other party was actually able to kill Werther, who had such powerful strength.

This undoubtedly made Yami doubt his previous analysis.

"What is the deal?"

Yami was silent for a moment, then spoke in a cold voice.

In fact, Yami wanted to bring the magic stone and the mysterious man in front of him back to the capital more than making a deal. However, with the strength shown by the other party, whether he could win or not, aside from that, once the other party wanted to escape, he couldn't stop him at all.

.

Rather than falling out directly, it is better to maintain the current transaction method.

"Before the transaction, I don't want other people to hear the content of the transaction."

Takaki smiled slightly.

In an instant!

Yami's pupils changed, and he suddenly disappeared from the spot, rushing towards Asta and Noelle.

But the ice surface in the area where Yami was located suddenly rose up. At the same time, sharp icicles quickly pierced out from the ice surface, covering Yami!

"Secret Entanglement·Unknown Kill!"

A cold light flashed in Ye Jian's eyes, and the sword in his hand turned into a black afterimage, smashing all the icicles around him in an instant.

The other side.

Takaki has arrived in front of Asta and Noelle.

"Water creates magic·Sea Dragon's Lair!"

Noelle's tense nerves finally took effect and he released the defensive magic he had prepared long ago.

Wow!

The hemispherical water shield immediately enveloped Noelle and Asta. However, before Noel could relax, Tsumugi wrapped his magic fist and struck the semicircular water shield with one blow.

Cover it.

Boom!

The "Sea Dragon's Nest", which had always shown an astonishing defense, was destroyed by a punch in Noelle's wide-open lavender eyes, and he was stunned on the spot.

"Ah!"

Asta was not in a daze like Noelle. He roared, and with his arm broken, he endured the severe pain and swung his arm, using the Demon-Breaking Sword to slash at Yagi with a sweeping sweep.

Whoa!

Zaki's figure disappeared.

Asta's attack failed. Immediately afterwards, Asta felt a pain in his back, and his vision blurred for an instant.

A faint voice fell into Asta's ears before he passed out.

"It's still too weak."

Bang! Bang!

Asta and Noelle rolled their eyes, fell down on the ice, and passed out.

Whoosh!

A blade wrapped with dark magic appeared on Takaki's back.

Bang——!

The harsh sound of weapons clashing exploded in the air!

Takashi held a sword made of mineral magic in his hand and blocked Yami's swift blow.

After a brief contact, the weapons in the hands of the two collided rapidly in the air again, and afterimages continued to flash across the ice.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dense sounds and sparks splashed between the two weapons.

Takumi held the ore weapon and swung it quickly. In a short period of time, it collided with the sword in Yami's hand hundreds of times!

"Unknown Kill!"

Yami's wrist suddenly exerted force, and a series of black slashes of dark magic enveloped Tamu.

Phew!

Takaki exhaled, his eyes condensed, he held the ore sword in both hands and slashed forward with force. During the swing, it instantly turned into a huge ore sword of victory.

Boom!

A large number of black slashes collided with the sword of victory, exploding between the two people, and there was a harsh roar!

Takaki and Yami also stopped what they were doing at the same time.

"Is this dark magic? It is a magic full of destructive power. It is worthy of being called the "God of Destruction", Captain Yami."

Tagi looked at the huge sword of victory, which looked damaged and incomplete. He released the huge hilt, and the sword of victory turned into magic and dissipated.

The sudden attack on Asta and Noelle was not only because he didn't want the two to hear the content of the next transaction, but more importantly, because Takaki wanted to see Yami's dark magic.

This is one of the rare underworld-level magics!

Through a brief encounter.

Takaki already has a certain understanding of dark magic. If light magic is a symbol of "speed", then dark magic is the proof of "destructive power".

Ore magic has extremely strong characteristics, especially as the magic power of the wood increases, the hardness of the ore magic also increases significantly.

Now, it was actually destroyed like this by a few ordinary magic slashes of dark magic, which shows how powerful the destructive power of dark magic is!

"This is not a cooperative attitude."

Yami spoke with a cold expression and raised the sword in his hand again.

Seeing that Yami looked like he was still going to fight, Yamu spread his hands and said quickly: "I have no intention of hurting your two members, I just want them to sleep for a while."

Neither side fought with all their strength just now, it was just a test of each other.

At least from the previous test, Takaki sensed that Yami's strength was not weaker than that of Werther, but in fact the two were completely different. At least, Yami would not fall into Werther's state of madness and being controlled by emotions.

This guy, who is nicknamed the alternative "protagonist", is the most difficult thing to do when he goes beyond the limit from time to time during the battle.

What's more, now is not the time to take action against the leaders of the Magic Knights.

However.

Just because Takaki doesn't want to continue taking action doesn't mean Yami thinks so too.
To be continued...
