With the successive Wizard Kings popping up to give Asta a power-up, the Emperor Sword was successfully pulled out.
Having lost the disturbance of the fusion magic in the Emperor Sword, the rampaging ley lines also returned to calm.
And because the Emperor Sword's ownership had changed, the magic power supply to Conrad and the other three Wizard Kings was also cut off.
So the magic power of the Wizard Kings on each battlefield, and the magic attacks they were using, including the legion-level magic soldiers and the barrier that enveloped the entire land, all began to collapse.
And the last to disappear was Conrad. His life had already been burned out long ago, and he had been acting with the magic power provided by the Emperor Sword. After the magic power supply was cut off, his life also came to an end.
Perhaps it was because his body had been eroded by magic power too severely, and in the end, it had actually disintegrated into magic particles.
And perhaps it was because he had seen the appearance of the successive Wizard Kings, the look in his eyes at the end was no longer so extreme, but instead, a smile had appeared.
Perhaps in Asta, he had seen the hope of his dream being realized!
Dust to dust, earth to earth, this chaos caused by the former Wizard Kings had also ended with his death.
After the incident had ended, Drake and Asta and Yuno hadn't followed the main force back to the royal capital together.
Although the Emperor Sword had been pulled out quickly, it had still caused some effects.
For example, it had triggered a fairly strong earthquake, and Hage Village, which was the closest, had been the first to bear the brunt, and even the church had been damaged as a result.
So the three had stayed behind to help repair it, and this was also the vacation that Julius had allowed.
In fact, the church hadn't suffered much damage, and the three had finished repairing the damaged areas in just one day.
Yuno had easily handled a large amount of work with magic, and Asta, who had an abundance of strength, had done the manual labor.
And Drake, as an excellent craftsman recognized by the God of Forging, hadn't wasted the free labor, and had almost completely renovated the church.
But after having a meal in the new church, Yuno had left. After all, he was the vice-captain of the Golden Dawn, and he had quite a bit of work on his hands.
And Asta and Drake had become free, so Drake had begun to guide Asta in his swordsmanship training.
The only normal swordsmanship training that Asta had ever undergone had been conducted by that retired magic knight from the Diamond Kingdom.
The rest had been what he had secretly learned from his opponents or companions in battle.
But after all, this world was one where magic was supreme, and the swordsmanship of those so-called magic swordsmen also had remarkable power because it was combined with their own magic.
In short, for Asta, those swordsmanship skills were all too crude. So Drake had begun to give him special training targeting this point.
Compared to reaching a heart-to-heart understanding with the devil in the five-leaf grimoire and thus completely mastering anti-magic power, swordsmanship training was easier for Asta to get the hang of right now.
Asta naturally wouldn't miss any opportunity to become stronger, and had gladly accepted Drake's guidance.
However, what Asta hadn't expected was that Drake had become countless times stronger than before in the past six months. It wasn't just magic power and magic, even his martial arts had improved to a realm that he couldn't imagine.
So he had suffered quite a bit from Drake's beatdown-style guidance method. But Asta was least afraid of suffering, and had endured no matter how harsh the training had been.
And what that had brought about was the rapid progress in his swordsmanship level.
The wooden stick in Drake's hand collided with Asta's Demon-Slayer Sword, and neither of them had used any abilities other than swordsmanship.
It couldn't be said that Asta's progress wasn't great, from being full of flaws at the beginning, only being able to be beaten by Drake, to now being able to occasionally counterattack.
It could only be said that as expected of the protagonist, Asta's talent in battle was still quite amazing.
"Alright, you can take a break now!"
Drake said this, finally separating the Demon-Slayer Sword.
Asta also let out a sigh of relief, inserting the Demon-Slayer Sword into the ground and then breathing rapidly.
Wiping away his sweat, Asta took down the water bottle that was hanging on the side, drinking it greedily.
After taking a sip, Asta turned his head, handing over the water bottle, saying, "Drake, do you want to take a sip?"
Drake smelled that pungent herbal smell, politely declining, saying, "I'll pass, but are you still drinking that stuff?"
From a long time ago, Asta, who had no magic power, had seen a method somewhere in order to obtain magic power.
It said that if you drank a certain medicine in one gulp after training, you could awaken magic power. As a result, he had persisted until now, but it still hadn't had any effect.
Asta scratched his head, saying, "It's not that I'm still thinking about awakening magic power, it's just become a habit.
By the way, where did Miss Stella go?"
Drake sighed, saying, "She was dragged away by Big Sister Mereoleona, I had originally wanted to take her around more!"
The cause of the matter was the previous battle, Mereoleona, relying on her super strength and tenacious will, had actually forced that female Wizard King, who had been undefeated her entire life, to use all of her strength, and Mereoleona had even gained the upper hand.
Being able to fight to her heart's content with the person that she had always admired was the most exciting thing for Mereoleona.
But the battle had been stopped because the Emperor Sword had been pulled out.
And having not been able to enjoy herself to the fullest, Mereoleona had heard that Drake had become much stronger after returning, so she had come over aggressively.
As a result, Drake had gone to purchase supplies to repair the church at the time, and Mereoleona had encountered Stella.
So when Drake had returned, he had seen the note that Stella had left behind, and his girlfriend had just been abducted like this!
A mother dragon and a lioness, hopefully the Yultim Volcano could withstand the ravages of these two. But after all, it was a strong magic region, it wouldn't be flattened, right... would it?
Asta thought of the days when he had been given special training by Mereoleona, and couldn't help but shudder. But that girl that Drake had brought back was so strong, he was a bit curious what their battle would be like.
As for why it was a battle... would Mereoleona pull someone along to drink tea like a lady?
The two ended today's training, returning to the church. Just having cleaned themselves up, they saw a gray space gate opening outside the door.
Finral walked out from within, saying after seeing the two, "That's great, you're both here, we have a mission!"
Drake and Asta looked at each other, and then, after saying something to Sister Lily on the side, they followed Finral through the space gate and returned to the Black Bulls' base.
As soon as he had returned to the Black Bulls' base, Drake had seen all the members gathered together.
Yami was sitting on the sofa with his legs spread wide, saying, "You're back, you idiots! The leisurely vacation time is already over, we have work to do!
This time's mission is about... the movements of the Spade Kingdom!"
Drake was stunned, and then immediately understood, the main storyline was about to begin, and this was the harbinger of the start of the incident.
Although he didn't know what had happened specifically, but after all, it was something related to the Spade Kingdom. Because according to the information that they had obtained from the queen of the Heart Kingdom, the devil-possessed people were in the Spade Kingdom.
