In an instant, the fierce battlefield seemed to have quieted down.
Gu Sen, standing on the Golem, didn't care about the enemy or whether the battle was over. He put his hands on his hips and laughed, mocking Klaus: "Yo~ isn't this Four-Eyes? Tsk tsk, as a noble, to be in such a sorry state, and even saved by a mere commoner."
"Haha, you owe me one!"
Klaus's cheeks flushed slightly: "Who told you to interfere? I clearly could have handled it myself!"
"Really, now?"
"...Hmph, even if it was an assist, it was a member of my Golden Dawn who acted faster. Your unsightly magic was completely useless."
"Huh? You guy... no good deed goes unpunished!"
Unlike the two who erupted into an argument, Bai En, Nancy, and Yuno did not relax their guard. The Diamond Kingdom Mage's magic had not subsided because of the previous slash; the heavy magic remained hidden in the water.
Without any warning... water splashed up!
Dense magic surged, and silvery-white ore surfaced. It was a body twice the size of Nancy's Golem!
"Ore Creation Magic: Titan's Heavy Armor!"
Mars, enveloped in the Titan's Heavy Armor, swung his arm. A massive ore hand smashed directly onto the Golem. Brown earth crumbled and splattered. Bai En, relying on his Mana Sense, dodged Mars's attack in advance. Nancy and Gu Sen were also no ordinary Mages, narrowly dodging the attack.
"Flame Creation Magic: Butterfly Flame!"
Gu Sen, rolling on the ground, pulled the trigger of his flintlock pistol, activating his magic. Butterfly-shaped flame bullets landed on the ore armor, sparks flew but left no scorch marks.
"So sturdy, like the shell of a thousand-year-old turtle from the Mimosa Forest," Gu Sen cursed under his breath.
The next moment, Bai En swiftly swung his blade, the blade of Zanyan shining an iridescent white. A Flying Slash leaped out, and a bright light flared on Mars's heavy Titan's Heavy Armor. The ore hand that was swinging towards the Golem was severed!
The massive hand fell downwards!
Gu Sen's eyes widened: "Holy crap, Bai En... what the hell was that guy's attack? Just now, I clearly..."
Mars observed the battle, not pausing for a moment despite the severed ore hand. He activated his magic again: "Ore Creation Magic: Scimitar!"
Countless small, rain-like ore scimitars flew out swiftly, a buzzing sound filling the air. Nancy blocked in front of Gu Sen, piling up an earth sphere that enveloped both of them. The scimitars continuously pierced into the brown earth.
Iridescent white magic glowed on Bai En's body. Under the enhancement of his Mana Skin, he swung Zanyan, fending off the wave-like scimitar attacks.
On the other side, the ore greatsword, which had been suspended in the air, swung again, slashing towards Klaus and his group. Mars showed no hesitation due to the opponent's numerical advantage; he even attempted to eliminate all six of them simultaneously.
"Steel Creation Magic: Piercing Spiral Spear!"
Klaus activated his magic. A rotating steel spear collided with the ore greatsword. After only a moment of stalemate, the ore greatsword severed the steel spear and continued its trajectory forward.
In this critical moment, fierce winds surged. Yuno's magic erupted, and greenish-blue light continuously swirled into wind wisps. As he raised his hand, four sharp wind slashes shot out!
"Mana Zone: Crescent Moon of the Kamaitachi - Four Blades!"
The incredibly sharp ore greatsword instantly shattered and dispersed under the four wind slashes.
Yuno, who had undergone half a year of training with Bai En, constantly honing his Mana Sense and Mana Manipulation, was far stronger than his original self at this stage. This was also why he was able to successfully save Mimosa from Mars's sneak attack!
"Oh?"
Mars let out a soft sigh. The ore arm severed by Bai En began to differentiate, and one by one, humanoid ore puppets bowed and stood up. "Ore Creation Magic: Talos's Puppet Army."
Numerous ore puppets, identical to Mars, split into several directions and attacked Bai En, Yuno, and the others with astonishing speed.
"Wind Magic: Tower of the Storm!"
Wind whirlwinds spontaneously rose. Under Yuno's immense magic, the whirlwinds possessed astonishing power. The ore puppets rushing towards him and Klaus were swept up into the air by the storm until they were torn apart. The next moment, Yuno manipulated the wind to float towards Mars.
With the numerous ore puppets and the small, curved blades, Bai En no longer felt like continuing to hack away. The General flew out from his iridescent white grimoire. As it descended, the spatial gravity underwent a drastic change.
The scimitars and ore puppets were directly crushed to the ground by gravity.
The black ghostly light swirling around the General permeated the surroundings. Mars, encased in the ore heavy armor, involuntarily paused in his movements, his massive figure bending downwards.
"Wind Magic: Fang of the Storm."
Yuno extended his hand, and surging wind continuously gathered and spun in his palm. A massive tornado materialized in front of him. With a flick of Yuno's hand, the tornado swept out, its swirling white wind wisps as sharp as blades.
The iridescent white magic on the blade of Zanyan in Bai En's hand surged and rippled like water.
The 'Unbind' slash, which had previously been like a spider silk, often hidden within the Water Sword Form due to low magic, began to bloom with its own brilliance like a wild horse, as his magic steadily increased and his habits changed.
"Unbind!"
He swung his blade, but there was no flash of light, only the soft hum of the blade.
The speed of the Flying Slash was not slow; on the contrary, due to his abundant magic, the transparent and invisible slash landed on Mars simultaneously with the wind whirlwind released by Yuno.
The heavy armor formed by the ore instantly shattered from the slash, and a long bloodline appeared on his chest. Mars was swept up by the wind whirlwind, his clothes constantly torn to shreds, and he crashed heavily into the wall, falling unconscious.
The ore puppets shattered, and the intense battlefield subsided.
Looking at Mars embedded in the wall, Bai En felt a bit of regret, 'Did I hit him too hard? Will this guy not be able to stand up later? I was originally thinking...'
Yuno slowly descended to the ground from the air. He looked at Bai En with an extremely unwilling gaze. In the final blow, using his Mana Sense, he could clearly feel that Bai En's slash had broken through the Diamond Kingdom Mage's defense just a tiny bit faster.
'That guy... he's gotten stronger again.'
The battle, which lasted only a moment before ceasing, caused a huge stir in Klaus's heart. His own magic seemed so powerless in front of Mars... yet such a powerful enemy was defeated almost instantly.
What was going on with these two commoners from the Hui Wai Realm?!
Yuno, who possessed a four-leaf grimoire, was one thing, but that guy from the Aqua Deer Squad... why was he so strong too?
Wait... he seemed to have asked Yuno to assist him in battle just now?
Thinking of this, Klaus's face couldn't help but flush.
Has this guy been hiding his strength all this time, taking care of my pride as his senior?
Truly... Gu Sen, also a senior, didn't think as much as Klaus, but he also clearly knew at this moment that the newcomers in the squad were all very powerful. Nancy, who knew various types of magic... Bai En, whose attacks were sharp... the sudden lightning crackled faintly in the air.
A voice of regret sounded: "I just arrived here, and the battle is already over? How boring."
"Hey, hey, hey, come fight me!"
