Chapter 38: Bloody Temple...

Asta and Julius were sitting down, they had been talking for a long time, Asta decided it was time to get straight to the point and tell him what he was interested in.

''I'm Interested in those Magic Stones Julius'' Asta said, his chin rested on his hand and his expression was serious.

''Why do you want more power than you have?'' Julius frowned.

''You never know, just when you think you've met the strongest enemy, another one appears that is much worse, and i will also have a big family, I can't afford not to gain more strength every day'' Asta said.

''Sorry Future King Hahaha, but these stones are for important work'' Julius said with a complicated expression.

''Well... So why did you call me?'' Asta said calmly, not sounding upset. It's not as if the stones were the only way to become stronger, he has already met Sylph and they got along quite well, only the other spirits would be missing and Asta could become several times stronger than he was in his previous life.

Julius was confused for a moment, he thought their beneficial relationship would collapse when he saw that they were both interested in the magic stones and could not share them, Asta didn't seem upset as if he didn't care.

''You see, I don't want to leave my kingdom unprotected, the slightest wrong move I make right now could cost the lives of thousands of people, I know you are a fast and strong man and you also have several subordinates so I would like you to investigate the underwater temple, it is likely that there is a magic stone usually appear in places like that.'' Julius explained as he passed a sheet of paper with the address of the place to Asta.

''You have several captains at your disposal but you choose me?'' Asta looked at Julius and take the paper.

''The ones I trust the most for this kind of work would be Charlotte but she is busy, Yami is recovering, Nozel seems to suffer from extreme depression and William is missing, and i left the others on patrol in case the Eye of the White Night appears.'' Julius said.

''Hahaha, you seem to have a lot of problems''

''King Clover probably doesn't even know about this group, he's probably enjoying his sinful life with women in his castle'' Julius sighed.

''Hahahaha'' Asta he couldn't help but laugh, he could notice a touch of envy in Julius' voice, after all who wouldn't want to live that kind of life? carefree, someone will clean up all your crap and shit for you while you're fucking women in your castle.

Asta stopped his laughter and cleared his throat then looked at Julius with a very serious expression and said.

''So what i would earn for this Job? ''

''I will grant you the favors of a person who could be quite useful to you, he can use magic that manipulates memories and even extracts them. It is an excellent ability for someone who wants to rule a kingdom without corruption, isn't it?'' Julius said.

''It's interesting but not enough, you know? I could be in the soft embrace of my wives but here I am helping a poor old man'' Asta said.

''...'' The veins grew on Julius' forehead as he listened to Asta's, he coughed a little, cleared his throat and then said.

''You already have me on your side, stop being so greedy!''

''Well...'' Asta got up from his chair ready to leave, Julius was once again confused when he thinks this man is going to insist he never does, before Asta left he stopped on the balcony and said.

''William disappeared right after Yami hurt that man, don't you think it's very suspicious Julius?'' Asta said as black wings slowly emerged from his back.

''Of course, I have already been analyzing that.'' Julius said with a complicated expression, he didn't want to believe what he was guessing, but everything pointed to that.

''Good for you to know'' Asta said and shot into the sky flying.

...

As Asta flew, a green light hit him but didn't do anything.

''What's up Sylph? didn't you have babysitting work to do?'' Asta asked.

'He is on a date...' Sylph said.

''He leaves you alone Hahaha'' Asta said.

'Shut up!' Sylph shouted.

''Don't worry we will have our own date"

'W-what?' Sylph caught with guardian down.

''We will go to an underwater temple but first I must tell my wives that I will be busy''

'F-fine'

...

Moments later Asta arrived his castle, The moment he landed, Heloise appeared quickly and bowed.

''Why does it smell a little burn Heloise?'' Asta asked.

''The cousin of Mimosa he came here and fought with some subordinates, then sat down to talk with your wives and when I told them about the dungeons they went together.'' Heloise explained.

''Well, she finally show up Hahaha'' Asta let out a soft laugh.

''You seem to want to meet her, Master''

''Since I came to this world the only half-decent battle I had was against the captain of the Black Bulls, of course I want to meet that woman, but I have work to do i will try to do it quickly to get back in time.'' Asta said flashing a smile.

''Will you take your War Axe or the Rapier?'' Heloise asked she knew what kind of work Asta was referring to.

''That rapier is a very important gift, bring me the axe'' Asta said.

Heloise nodded his body glowed with a bright red hue, he rushed into the castle and after a few moments returned with a War Axe.

''Here Master'' Heloise knelt down, showing him the axe.

Asta took the axe, it was almost as long as a spear and the top was large, the color of the axe was completely silver.

''I am leaving'' The soft expression of Asta dissapear, turned and started to leave the castle.

''Be careful Master''

Heloise didn't notice but Asta's body had a slight shudder, he had a feeling of deja vu with this farewell tip and the way Heloise was saying it.

''Yes.'' Asta shot into the sky.

...

Inside a large dungeon were four beautiful women, Mereoleona was behind Lily and instructing her, the girls wanted to take advantage of this dungeon to help Lily a little with her skills since she told them that she barely has an offensive spell.

''Woman, Do you want to carress them or kill them!?'' Mereoleona said irritated watching Lily's gentle attacks against the golems enclosed by plants.

''...'' Lily bit her lips with a complicated expression, then pointed a finger at the golem in front of her and a water sword shot piercing the golem and destroying the wall.

''Finally! You kill one'' Mereoleona said, making Noelle and Mimosa laugh, who were behind her.

''You're like Mimosa, nice women are hard for me to deal with, it's like offensive spells don't exist for you, but if you talk to them about a healing spell you're a fucking professional.'' Mereoleona said.

''I used to heal Asta a lot, Asta trained since he was little and I always wanted to try to help him as little as possible, that caused my healing magic to reach its peak.'' Lily explain a little embarrassed that it took her so long to make an attack.

''You are a great woman'' Mereoleona said and inwardly she felt guilty for thinking about stealing her husband.

''Thank you'' Lily said with a soft smile that could melt any man's heart.

'W-what the hell, What is this level of-' Mereoleona was about to thought but Mimosa talked.

''Is that a sword?'' Mimosa said pointing the destroyed wall behind the golem.

''It looks like the Asta's one!'' Noelle said and walked to the sword.

''HMMM!'' She tried to unsheathe it but it wouldn't come out for anything in the world, even though it looked small, it was as if it weighed tons.

''Woman that's what you get for skipping arms in the exercise, look at this'' Mereoleona rolled her sleeves and grabbed the sword.

''HMMMM!!'' The ground beneath her cracked but the sword did not come out, it was as if it were excalibur stuck in the warmest sacred garden from which it would be difficult for it to get out.

''Maybe only he can carry it?'' Lily said making Mereoleona stop.

''Makes sense, it got that strange dirt exactly like his great sword.'' Noelle said.

''Then you just have to call him, don't you?'' Mereoleona said flashing a wild smile.

''Aren't you too excited to meet my husband?'' Noelle narrow her eyes.

''She likes battles very much and you know that our husband is very strong so she wants to know, she wants to have a fight against him.'' Mimosa explained making Mereoleona smile grew when she mentioned 'strong'

''Ah i understand''

'I don't think they're only going to have that kind of battle' Lily thought, she remembers very well that Asta always said he liked strong women.

''Let's continue exploring the dungeon, maybe we will find treasures.'' Noelle said creating a sphere of water which covered the sword.

...

''Sylph...'' Asta's voice sounded very cold as he looked at the view of an ocean with shades of red.

Sylph's eyes opened as she looked out into the ocean, he could see a large quake that had several traces of blood on it as well as some dead bodies, then she saw thousands of people hooded in white, in the center of them were a girl and a boy who were being tortured.

''There are people alive!'' Sylph said while entering Asta's chest.

Asta closed his eyes and fly a little, then when his neon green eyes opened, his body was covered with a wild wind that cut everything around him, then at a terrifying speed he crossed the sea, the water could not even move forward due to the great speed at which the wind cut...
