"Let me lend you a hand!"
"Cotton Creation Magic: Sleeping Sheep!"
Charmy leaped in mid-air, and a giant sheep with eyes like red lanterns appeared on the battlefield.
"First hit!"
With just one punch, the giant sheep shattered Moje's defensive magic.
"Second hit!"
The second punch directly broke Moje's mud body.
"Triple combo!"
The third punch even knocked the whites of Moje's eyes out.
"Mirror Magic: Multiple Reflection!"
Gauche hurriedly followed up with more attacks. Under the repeated reflections of a dozen mirrors, Moje was riddled with holes. If anyone else had received this kind of damage, they would have probably already died, but after trembling in the mud for a few moments, Moje actually crawled back up again!
"Mud Recovery Magic: Sludge Baptism!"
"Mud Invincibility Magic: Mud Body!"
"Mud Magic: Earth River Cart!"
Moje cast three types of mud magic on himself in one breath, then said with a grave expression, "Second brother, Third brother, we can't fight these people head-on. We can only wear them down from a distance!"
"You don't have to tell me that, I've been wearing them down from the start!"
Moses rode the Earth River Cart and slipped away quickly, with Luck and Magna following closely behind.
"Hey, hey, don't run, stop and play with me!"
Luck chased Moses excitedly. Every time he caught up, Moses would self-destruct and then crawl out of another mud pit to continue fleeing. While this method had no offensive power, it was truly effective for escaping.
"Wow, weren't you going to ambush us? How can you just keep running away?"
Magna shouted.
On the other side of the battlefield, Asta took on the task of dealing with Moore.
"Is this the Anti-Magic that my brother mentioned? No matter what, I absolutely cannot let this sword touch me!"
Moore was even more decisive; he dove into the mud pit and wouldn't come out!
Originally, he was the one with the strongest attack power among the three, and he had intended to fight head-on, but his opponent happened to be Asta. After just one clash, he shifted from offense to defense—he couldn't handle him!
"If these guys won't come out, they're still very troublesome. If only we had Ice Magic, we could freeze all this mud, and then let's see how they could reform!"
Asta sighed.
"Big brother, this isn't working!"
Moore snuck over to Moje and said.
"If it really doesn't work, should we retreat?"
Moje started to think about retreating. After all, their original plan was to retreat whenever they encountered members of The Knights and never make a scene. It was precisely for this reason that they had been able to hide in the Clover Kingdom for so long.
"Big brother, I can't run! I've already used Myriad Escape once!"
Moses wailed.
"If that's the case, then there's no other way. Second brother, Third brother, let's break the seal!"
Moje didn't want to abandon Moses; after all, he was his most important family member, so they had no choice but to use that skill!
"It has to be this way!"
Moore nodded. Then, he and Moje went to Moses's side. After helping Moses temporarily repel Luck and Magna, the three of them converged.
"Trinity, Breakthrough Magic!"
After the three Moje brothers shouted this, mud magic surged wildly around their bodies, and their magic power soared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"They can actually increase their strength!"
Luck exclaimed.
"It seems like things are about to get tricky!"
Magna suddenly had a bad premonition. He saw that the three brothers' hair was all standing up due to the surge in magic power.
"Gugu gugu, tremble, members of the Magic Knight Squad. Before we used Breakthrough Magic, our strength was already at the level of your vice-captain. Now that we have broken through our limits, we possess the level of a Magic Knight Squad captain—that is, your Great Magic Knight. And what level are you?"
When Moje said this, a playful look appeared in his cold eyes. "I heard you are all only at the level of Junior Magic Knights!"
"Damn it, how dare you look down on me!"
Magna was furious.
"Sorry, the strength of us Black Bulls has never been about our rank. Otherwise, why would you three vice-captain-level people be beaten so miserably?"
Asta retorted.
"Big brother, he seems to be right. Could someone have tricked us? I don't see how these Black Bulls are the lowest-ranked squad!"
Moore couldn't help but say...
"Yeah, if the bottom-ranked squad in the Clover Kingdom has this kind of strength, then what the hell are we fighting for in the Diamond Kingdom!"
Moses chimed in.
"Forget it. Since these people are blocking our path, we absolutely cannot let them leave alive. Everyone, use your strongest magic!"
Moje said excitedly. This was magic equivalent to a Magic Knight captain's ultimate move, and especially since the captain-level magic they three cast could complement each other, their combined strength would definitely exceed that of a single Magic Knight captain, perhaps even reaching the level of a Wizard King's super magic!
"Then I'll go first!"
"Mud Forbidden Magic: Nile Basin!"
Moses was the first to cast a forbidden spell. In an instant, a wide river of mud suddenly surrounded the entire Village, and within the river were countless crying Clover villagers.
"Everyone, are you all okay!"
The girl saw her familiar relatives in the river and immediately shouted.
"Haha, don't worry, I'll let you join them right now!"
After Moses finished speaking, the Nile suddenly surged with monstrous waves, and countless mud dragons roared as they lunged toward Asta and the others.
"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragons Lair!"
Noelle hurriedly cast Sea Dragons Lair, but this barrier was clearly not very effective against the mud dragons, and they broke through it very easily.
"Oh no!"
Before Vanessa and the others inside the lair could react, they were swept into the Nile Basin by the mud dragons.
"I have no strength in my whole body..."
After sinking deep into the river, Noelle felt as if she had been paralyzed by something, and her stamina and magic power were rapidly disappearing.
"I can't move either!"
Vanessa sighed.
"At least we weren't all wiped out!"
Finral looked at Asta, Gauche, Magna, Luck, and Charmy, who had all dodged the mud dragon attacks, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I really want to curse them, but I can't use magic right now..."
Gordon muttered regretfully.
"Whew..."
The only answer he got was the sound of Grey panting.
