Space fluctuated like the surface of water blown by the wind, and two figures walked out from the center.
As he traversed more worlds, Drake's world magic had also evolved a lot. At least now, when traversing worlds, he didn't have to "crash" in as hard as he had at the beginning.
Feeling the surging vast magic power of the Strong Magic Region, Drake couldn't help but reveal a nostalgic expression.
Among the many worlds that Drake had been to, the amount of time he had spent in this world was second only to the Fairy Tail world, and this place also had a different meaning for Drake.
That's right, Drake had brought Stella to the world of Black Clover.
The reason was that he had attended several weddings in the world of Seven Deadly Sins, and Drake had complained to her that few of the companions he knew had achieved such a happy ending.
Either they were clueless in this regard, or they were extremely twisted people, and during this, he had mentioned Asta and the others, whom he had known for a long time.
Out of curiosity, Stella had asked Drake to bring her to this world.
Before, Drake hadn't wanted to spend half a year training with Asta and the others, so he had chosen to leave.
But Drake had never forgotten that there was still something that hadn't been dealt with in this world.
Just according to the timeline, it was almost time to fight the devil-possessed people of the Spade Kingdom.
It just so happened that Stella had brought it up, so Drake had decided to come to this world.
Traversing the Strong Magic Region, where ordinary people couldn't survive, was extremely easy for Drake and Stella, and after the two had identified the direction, they quickly left the desolate Strong Magic Region.
During this time, Drake had also seen a lot of human remains on the way, which had been eroded and incomplete by the harsh environment of the Strong Magic Region.
Drake couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled, no one was unaware of the dangers of the Strong Magic Region, so unless they had no other choice, no one would rashly enter.
But there were quite a few of these skeletons, and looking at the traces, the time they had been left behind wouldn't have exceeded a few months.
It wasn't until he was about to leave that Drake had suddenly remembered a plot point in the original story.
After the elf tribe incident, many of the Clover Kingdom's citizens had learned of the existence of devils.
And among them, some people with weak magic power had actually begun to worship devils.
After all, this was a world where magic power was supreme, and weak magic power meant being far away from wealth, status, and even dignity.
In order to change their lives, those people had even kidnapped Asta and Gauche's sister.
After the plan had failed, these people had plunged headfirst into the Strong Magic Region, wanting to cross it and go to what they saw as the "holy land" - the Spade Kingdom, where the devil-possessed people were located.
These people were ignorant and extreme, but it was undeniable that they were also pitiful and sorrow. They were the true bottom class of this world, and couldn't see any hope of rising.
They also weren't as strong and optimistic as Asta, so it wasn't strange that they had done such a thing. He could only blame the backwardness of this country.
After letting out a sigh, Drake could only pin his hopes on Asta realizing his dream of becoming the Wizard King and being able to change this phenomenon.
Having come from the lower class and also not possessing any magic power, Asta was the most able to understand the pain of those people.
With Asta's never-give-up personality, he would definitely break through all obstacles and ultimately change this country.
Having encountered such a thing as soon as he had returned, to be honest, Drake's mood had indeed been spoiled quite a bit, but after seeing the Demon-Dweller Sword in the distance, Drake had adjusted back.
Hage Village was right before him!
...
"Drake!!!"
The old man wearing a priest's robe ran out tearfully, directly giving Drake a big hug.
Drake had just been talking to Sister Lily, and had been hugged squarely, revealing a wry smile.
"Father Orsi is still so healthy, that's great!"
Father Orsi released Drake, grabbing everyone's shoulders with both hands, saying, "Where have you been for these six months? Why haven't I heard anything? I was so worried I was about to die?"
Sister Lily said with a smile, "I can testify, Father has been praying for Drake every day, asking the gods to bless you with safety!"
Drake said movedly, "Sorry for making you worry! I'm doing very well, I was just busy with training."
Sister Lily revealed a smile, saying, "Of course you're doing very well, after all, you've even brought someone back!"
Following Sister Lily's gaze, Father Orsi saw Stella on the side at a glance.
Revealing a strange smile, Father Orsi poked Drake's arm, saying, "Oh~ Just who is this young lady? Drake, why don't you introduce her to me!"
Drake didn't act shy like Orsi had imagined, but instead generously took Stella's hand, saying, "I forgot to tell you, this is Stella, the person I've decided to spend the rest of my life with!
Stella, these are my benefactors who raised me for a long time, and also my family, Sister Lily and Father Orsi!"
Looking at Stella, who was politely greeting him, and then looking at Drake, Father Orsi couldn't help but reveal a heartwarmingly comforting smile.
Although Drake had always acted very mature and reliable, it was only at this time that he had the feeling of "the child has finally grown up"!
Drake also took Stella to meet the others in the church, and the few little girls had initially put on a vigilant attitude of "a rival in love has appeared," but they had quickly been settled by Stella, following behind her, calling her big sister.
In the evening, Father had made a big meal using the beasts that Drake had hunted, just like before, and everyone had happily eaten a meal.
Listening to Sister Lily, Asta and Yuno hadn't returned for a long time either, but they would still send letters and money back regularly.
Speaking of which, Drake had asked Asta to take his share of the magic knight squad's fixed salary and send it all back to Hage Village before he had left.
With the support of three people, the church's life had also gotten much better.
Drake had taken back all of the two's letters, and had also learned about some of the things that had happened in the past six months from the letters.
Most of what was in Asta's letters was about his daily life, and that rough guy probably wouldn't pay attention to other things.
Fortunately, there was also Yuno's letter, which recorded quite a few things.
Combining it with his understanding of the plot, the things that they hadn't mentioned after reporting good news but not bad news had also been strung together more or less.
Drake had left when the elf tribe incident had just been resolved, and he hadn't paid much attention to the subsequent developments.
Because of Drake's participation, the damage that the elf tribe incident had caused to the Clover Kingdom wasn't that great.
But it couldn't be helped that the damage had all been concentrated on the royal and noble circles.
This made those nobles unwilling to swallow this anger, so someone had proposed retaliating against the elf tribe. But this had been rejected by the magic knight squad.
The nobles weren't all idiots, the elf tribe was naturally gifted, and most of them basically had the strength of great magic knights.
Retaliating against them, not to mention that they had already hidden in the secret realm, making it difficult to find them, just the strength alone meant that they would have to bet the entire magic knight squad to have a chance of winning.
But at that time, the news that the Diamond Kingdom had been broken through by one person from the Spade Kingdom had already spread.
What would they take to deal with the imminent Spade Kingdom crisis if they transferred the magic knight squad to retaliate against the elf tribe?
Although the nobles cared a lot about losing face, they didn't want to lose their lives even more.
But the nobles' resentment had to be vented, so the target had turned into the culprit, the devils.
So what had the nobles done? They had judged Asta and Nero, who had made great contributions in the incident.
On the day of the judgment, Captain Yami had led the Black Bulls squad, directly charging into the courthouse, almost causing a great war.
In the end, under the mediation of two royal family knight squad captains, and with the Wizard King personally vouching, the result of the judgment had turned into exiling Asta from the country, until he proved that he had no connection with devils.
Neither Yuno nor Asta had mentioned this matter in their letters, but the Sister and Father had still learned about it.
Because that was a major event that had been recorded in the newspaper and sent throughout the country.
Even now, when Sister Lily mentioned this matter, she still had a lingering fear.
Unlike Asta, who had become a criminal and been exiled, Yuno had been quite successful in the past six months.
Having accumulated a lot of merit, he had already become the vice-captain of the Golden Dawn squad.
Because of the impact of the elf tribe incident, Golden Dawn Captain Vangeance was no longer the person who was most likely to become the Wizard King.
So many people believed that Yuno, who was rising like a star, was very likely to become the next Wizard King.
And Asta could only bitterly search for traces of devils, and had ultimately found the Heart Kingdom, following the clue of the curse.
In the Heart Kingdom, Asta had met that "omniscient witch, contractor of the water spirit, queen cursed by a devil," and had formed an alliance with her.
After learning of the existence of the Dark Triad, both sides had decided to train together for half a year before attacking the devil's main base, the Spade Kingdom.
And Drake had seen something very interesting in Yuno's most recent letter.
The Clover Kingdom's tournament festival held once every ten years - the decisive battle was about to begin!!
