After overcoming numerous obstacles, Drake finally saw Conrad again.
Conrad was completely different from how he had been just two days ago.
His head of white hair was lusterless, like withered weeds. His face was also bloodless, as pale as a corpse, and even his body had become much thinner.
Anyone who looked at him would think that Conrad was close to death. Asta had been aggressive when he had learned that Conrad was planning to start his plan in Hage Village, but now that he saw him like this, he didn't know what to say.
But none of the four felt sorry for Conrad, because the magic power on Conrad's body was many times stronger than before.
Even Asta, who couldn't sense magic power, could feel that completely different sense of oppression. The last time he had felt this way was with the Word Soul Devil Zagred.
It was as if Conrad had exchanged his own life for powerful magic power.
Conrad looked at Drake and the others with lifeless eyes, saying coldly, "You still came! Why can't you understand, this country must change!"
Drake didn't intend to reply, Conrad had already gone beyond the point of putting everything on the line. It was a waste of effort to try to stop anyone who was willing to give up their life to do something with words.
So Drake moved, reaching out his hand to grab the Emperor Sword that was floating next to Conrad.
Before Drake's fingers could touch the Emperor Sword, several bolts of lightning lit up, directly entangling Drake.
Drake directly retreated, but there were still dancing arcs of electricity remaining on his arm.
"I knew it wouldn't be that easy!" Drake said with emotion, turning his head back to say, "There are magic spells that have been set up in advance around the Emperor Sword, Asta, I'll leave it to you, Conrad will be restrained by us."
Asta nodded, drawing the Demon-Slayer Sword from his grimoire.
Conrad shook his head, saying, "You've wasted your last chance, then come on!"
Saying this, countless magic light gates opened one after another around him. Conrad reached out his hand, directly tearing off the robe and outer garments on his body.
As a vast amount of magic power surged, Conrad's thin and emaciated body seemed to have been nourished, and swelled up.
A magic power halo opened up behind Conrad, and the four colors representing the four great elements each occupied a part of the halo.
Even his head of white hair had been dyed with the light of magic power, at least it didn't look so lifeless.
"The ideal world is about to arrive, none of you will be allowed to interfere!"
Yuno directly entered elf synchronization, also holding the long sword made of wind element magic power in his hand. He charged towards Conrad first.
Conrad reached out his arm, grabbing a long sword that had been generated out of thin air, directly blocking Yuno's attack.
As Conrad swung his sword, a long spear composed of intertwined lightning and fire extended out, knocking Yuno flying.
The current Conrad could freely combine the various magic that he possessed, unleashing powerful composite magic. In conjunction with his powerful magic power, the power was even more astonishing.
"Spirit Storm!"
Yuno swung his sword, sending out a magic power pillar of wind, shattering the lightning fire spear, but it was chopped into pieces by Conrad with the sword in his hand.
In the midst of the magic power particles that filled the sky, Drake appeared before Conrad, first slapping Conrad's long sword away with his palm, and then sending him flying into mid-air with an uppercut.
Stella had been waiting for him long ago, her slender leg directly chopped down on his body, slamming him onto the demon god's skull, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Asta came before the Emperor Sword, swinging the Demon-Slayer Sword to slash over.
Colorful magic circles lit up, those were all spells that Conrad had set up in advance. But under the Demon-Slayer Sword, they were simply like a facade, shattering completely in an instant.
After breaking through these defenses, Asta reached out his hand, about to grab the Emperor Sword.
But at this time, Conrad had already charged out from the dust, kicking the caught-off-guard Asta away, and then casually grabbed the Emperor Sword.
But Conrad didn't continue to attack, but instead looked at Asta.
"You're Asta of the Black Bulls, right! I know you. Although you have amazing anti-magic but no magic power at all, you came from the lower class and finally joined the magic knight squads with great difficulty, but now you're bearing the judgment of being exiled from the country."
Not raising the Emperor Sword, but instead extending his hand, Conrad said, "You're different from them, you should be able to understand my feelings. Likewise, you and I have the same ambition.
So come and stand by my side! I don't have much time left, and you can become the person who leads the new world after my life ends!"
Asta stood up, propping himself up with the Demon-Slayer Sword, the expression on his face not changing in the slightest.
"What new world, you've got the wrong idea! The Wizard King is a great person who protects the citizens, so I must become the Wizard King.
I will stop you here, and won't let you destroy everything!"
Conrad had a disappointed expression on his face, he had collected a lot of information before taking action. He had originally wanted to learn about Drake's information, but had unexpectedly seen content about Asta.
In his opinion, Asta was different from the others. Coming from the lower class and also not possessing any magic power, he was the most able to understand the darkness of this country.
What was most important was that Asta, like him, had clearly stated his ambition to change this country. And the country that they idealized was also the same.
So he believed that Asta was the person who could understand him the most, and was also the most suitable person to be his successor.
But in his opinion, Asta's firmness was just stubbornness, which made him especially irritable.
"You still don't understand! There's nothing that the Wizard King can do, and I know that better than anyone!"
Asta said decisively, "It's you who has given up on being the Wizard King who can't do anything, I won't give up on becoming the Wizard King!"
Conrad said angrily, "I likewise won't give up on building a new world!"
"Because... not giving up is my magic!" x2
The two people standing on different sides had actually said the same words, and the will within them was also equally firm.
And what extended out from the conflict of different wills was the battle.
Asta directly entered the Black Asta state, taking out the Demon-Dweller Sword in his other hand, charging towards Conrad wielding two swords.
Conrad raised the Emperor Sword, the Emperor Sword was originally a magic tool and not a weapon, its own strength wasn't high, and its power lay in its ability to manipulate magic power.
The magic power of various magic attacks converged on the sword blade, and finally condensed into a giant sword that was dozens of meters long.
Conrad roared, directly slashing down with the magic power giant sword.
Asta was directly enveloped under the blade, and all that could be heard was a loud bang, and the entire demon god's skull shook.
Asta crossed his two swords, looking in surprise at Yuno, who was blocking the magic power blade with him.
"Idiot, the one who's going to become the Wizard King is me!"
Yuno said this, holding the magic power long sword horizontally.
Stella said with a smile, "Those two really have a good relationship!"
Drake also nodded, saying, "You can say that again, but seeing them like this makes people have the spirit to fight!"
As expected, with someone like Asta around, there was all the more reason to stop Conrad from going crazy!
