Without waiting for the Minotaur guards to run to inform, Old Barton, who had already noticed the abnormality on this side, quickly arrived at the scene.

After discovering that the problem was not the cottage where Asterius was, but the cottage where Dio was, the elder Barton breathed a sigh of relief and his heart was full of questions.

Since there is such a big movement, what is that guy trying to do?

Just as Dio never trusted the Minotaur leaders Tower and Old Barton, Old Barton didn't trust Dio much either!

It was only for the sake of Asterius' face that the old Barton, who was very jealous of Dio, did not do anything in Dio and Asterius' house, but simply arranged their temporary accommodation in a corner of the camp.

At this time, the elder Barton was very glad for the decision he made. If he had arranged for Asterius and Dio's quarters to be in the center of the camp, it would have caused a lot of confusion at this time.

Fortunately, the elder Barton also quickly made arrangements.

"Go! Get a few guards and send everyone around here away! ”

"Bring in two more teams of elite guards! Fence it off! ”

After giving a quick instruction and glancing at the hut that had been completely shrouded in the dark element, Old Barton's gaze fell on the hut where Asterius was, and his gaze flickered faintly.

He began to think about whether to take advantage of the current opportunity to do something.

Before Old Barton could think about it, there was movement in the hut where Asterius was.

"Bang!"

With a bang, one of the walls of the hut burst open, and Asterius, who was carrying a battle axe, rushed out of it!

The reason why Asterius, who was still in a coma, suddenly woke up at this time was because he faintly felt some kind of potential threat, so he would wake up in time under the instinctive prompting.

Because of this, after looking around, Asterius set his eyes on the hut where Dio was.

Whether it's the connection that the contract brings, or the keen intuition, it tells Asterius that Dio is there now, and that the state is a little wrong!

Although it is not clear what Dio is doing now, Asterius has made the best decision with his instincts: not to let anyone approach the hut where Dio is located!

Having made his decision, Asterius immediately walked to the front of the hut and observed its surroundings.

Since the two huts where Dio and Asterius lived were in the most remote corners of the camp, there were not many people living there. Not only that, but the back of the hut where Dio was located was a rock wall, so the only directions that Asterius needed to look after were the other three sides.

Observing this, Asterius couldn't help but frown, and then took a deep breath.

With this action, the upper half of Asterius's body swelled violently, and his arms became thicker.

Without taking the time to understand the increased power, Asterius, who had split the double-edged axe into two axes, lifted the axe high and slashed it hard at both sides.

Double Ground Slash!

"Bang!"

When Asterius' tomahawk landed, a loud roar rang out. From the point where the tomahawk fell, the earth quickly cracked, and soon two long cracks formed.

And these two cracks, one left and one right, obliquely enclosed the hut where Dio was.

Looking at his masterpiece, Asterius turned around without paying attention, and then sat cross-legged with his back to the room.

The battle axe, which had been divided into two, was also casually placed by Asterius' side.

Seeing Asterius sitting there with his hands on his chest, and even his eyes closed, the soldiers of the Minotaur clan who had rushed here were a little speechless.

Looks like this is their Minotaur clan's territory, right?

What does it mean that you have put on such a vigilant posture on our turf?

Didn't you take our minotaur clan seriously at all?

Although everyone was a little unhappy in their hearts, they didn't make any moves, after all, Asterius's attitude was already obvious.

If anyone dares to act rashly, I am afraid that Asterius will immediately make a decisive move!

However, not all minotaur warriors are afraid to make any moves.

A young minotaur warrior scratched his head, then quietly raised his right foot and quietly took a step forward.

But the moment his toes hit the ground, Asterius opened his eyes and stared at him with a blank expression.

Although Asterius was not angry, the momentum of a strong man in his body quickly swelled, and quickly enveloped the body of the bold minotaur warrior.

The young minotaur warrior's movements froze.

The other minotaurs didn't know what he was feeling, only Old Barton subconsciously frowned.

At this moment, Asterius not only suppressed the minotaur warrior with momentum, but also unconsciously relied on the bloodline connection to oppress the minotaur warrior in bloodline!

The young minotaur warrior who endured this double oppression almost scared him on the spot. Thankfully, Asterius only gave him a small warning and didn't go all out, so the minotaur warrior was able to barely hold on.

However, the minotaur warrior, who was taken aback, still decisively withdrew his right foot and took a step back.

Whether the rest of the minotaur warriors still dare to act or not, this minotaur warrior is not clear. But he himself said that he didn't want to come forward again.

When the minotaur warrior obediently withdrew his right foot, Asterius closed his eyes again. Although he appeared to be closing his eyes, Asterios was actually using the pulsations of the earth to perceive everything around him.

As soon as someone stepped into his guard, Asterius would be the first to notice!

With the example of the young minotaur warrior in front of them, the rest of the minotaurs naturally no longer tried to step into the vigilance of Asterius. But under the instructions of Old Barton, they still surrounded the hut where Dio was from a distance, and kept an eye on the hut that had been completely engulfed by the massive dark elementals.

Old Barton, who was at the forefront of the minotaur warriors, looked at the direction of the hut with a strange expression.

At first, Old Patton hadn't reacted. But as time passed, the elder Barton also faintly sensed something.

Although the movement is a bit outrageous, the scene is ...... It's very similar to the phenomenon that happens when a strong man on the magic side is about to condense the realm after stepping into the legendary realm.

I thought so, but the elder Patton quickly denied his own speculation. Because as far as he knew, Dio had already stepped into the legendary realm from the side of force, it couldn't be that he cultivated magic in turn, and then stepped into the realm of legends from the side of magic again, right? It doesn't make any sense to do that!

However, the elder Barton did not know that Dio, who seemed to have stepped into the legendary realm from the side of force a long time ago, was actually an impostor......

At this time, Dio's breakthrough has also entered the most critical juncture.

"You guy! How delicious it is! ”

Looking at Dio, who was still absorbing the dark elements, "Yiwen", who was trying her best to extract the dark elements around her, really gritted her teeth.

She never thought that her nominal apprentice would be such a "monster"!

You must know that when an ordinary magician is promoted to a legend, the amount of elements that need to be absorbed is about 20% of the amount that Dio currently absorbs. Even "Ewen", who has a very high talent in magic, when she was promoted to a legendary powerhouse, the total amount of dark elements absorbed was about the same as that of Dio at this time.

This is actually outrageous, because it also means that the newly promoted "Yiwen" has about five times the magic reserves of ordinary legendary-level magisters!

However, after reaching this point, Dio continued to absorb the dark element......

"Is it because his strength has already surpassed this level, or is it because of his relationship as a heroic spirit?"

"Yiwen", who has a lot of sweat on her forehead, looks very unhappy, but in fact, she is quite happy in her heart.

After all, Dio was her apprentice. His own apprentice has a future, and "Yiwen", who is a master, is of course very happy.

But the total amount of dark elements needed for Dio's promotion is so huge that the current "Ewen" can't hold on.

"In the end, it's just a degraded spirit, even if it's made by imitating the existence form of a heroic spirit, can it only last until now......

Glancing at the left hand, which had already had a lot of cracks, "Yiwen", who was still trying to maintain it, couldn't help frowning.

After taking a deep look at Dio again, "Yiwen" subconsciously bit her lower lip, and finally made a decision with hatred.

"When you go back, I'll settle accounts with you!"

After glaring at Dio cutely, "Ewen" slowly closed her eyes.

At the same moment, Ewen herself, who was staying in the Alice Magic Academy and was sorting out some copywriting, suddenly froze.

She subconsciously frowned and whispered, "This feeling is ......"

After a slight hesitation, Yiwen put down the copy in her hand, and then slowly closed her eyes.

The next moment, in a corner of the temporary camp of the Minotaur clan in the underground world, "Yiwen" slowly opened her eyes.

After looking around, her gaze turned to where Dio was. The dark element that shrouded Dio was extremely strong, but it couldn't stop her gaze.

“…… I see. ”

After nodding slightly, "Ewen" let go of her control of the dark element, and slowly floated in front of Dio.

"Yiwen", whose movements didn't seem to stop, slowly sank into Dio's body.

At this moment, the surrounding dark elements suddenly surged even more violently. A large number of dark elements were driven by some great force to rush towards Dio.

Under the infusion of this massive amount of dark elements, a layer of black luster suddenly appeared on Dio's body, and then this somewhat strange luster turned into a purple-black aura, which quickly spread.

Wherever the aura passed, everything was lost in darkness!

The rapidly spreading aura quickly burst out of the hut, sweeping over Asterius and Old Patton, as well as the minotaur warriors who were guarding the surroundings, enveloping them all in darkness.

While the minotaur warriors were panicking, the aura continued to spread unstoppable until the entire Minotaur camp was enveloped in it.

Not only those races with shimmering vision, but also some races with dark vision also lost their vision, and all races were plunged into darkness before their eyes, as if they had been deprived of their vision.

While most of the race was a little frightened, the cavemen who were captured as coolies were still working with ease.
