Starting from pirates and conquering all worlds

【Boom, boom, boom!】

The Black Bull headquarters, engulfed in black flames and showing signs of melting in many places, desperately flew towards the northern border of the Clover Kingdom.

Because only by bringing Henry, Charmy, and the others within it to that location would it be considered to have escaped the range of the strong magic zone.

It was also the last thing it could do for its companions.

Henry, who was fully controlling the Black Bull headquarters, was now in tears.

Although the castle didn't speak, he could feel its sadness.

Henry's sobbing shouts echoed inside.

"Charmy, Grey, Vanessa, say goodbye to the Black Bull headquarters!"

"Waaaaah!"

Grey, who was usually shy and didn't dare to speak loudly, burst into tears:

"How could this happen? We're the ones who harmed the Black Bull headquarters!"

"It's all our fault."

Vanessa, who had exhausted her magic power, slumped to the ground with a painful expression, muttering softly.

Even if she ate Charmy's chef-quality cooking now, it would still take some time for her to recover to the point where she could use her fate magic.

The scale of the black flames outside and the size of the Black Bull headquarters itself were simply too large.

Charmy, on the side, pressed her hands against the surface of the wall, her eyes filled with tears, and repeatedly apologized to it.

She now deeply regretted not continuing to oppose the use of black flames back then.

And in the process, she also became suspicious and angry towards Julius.

She didn't believe that he, as the Magic Emperor, hadn't foreseen this outcome.

Yet he still sent the black flames into the Black Bull headquarters, even telling them to use it when they encountered a strong enemy.

So, if she had the chance, she would definitely question him, and even give him a punch!

Soon.

The Black Bull headquarters suddenly burst out of the border between the strong magic zone and the northern border of the Clover Kingdom.

But no one noticed that a faint, translucent barrier had appeared out of nowhere.

It didn't stop the Black Bull headquarters.

However, the black flames attached to the Black Bull headquarters were completely isolated within the strong magic zone.

Visually, it looked like the black flames all detached as the Black Bull headquarters crossed the border.

Even so.

The damage it had sustained was still too severe.

Moreover, its enormous size, after losing the massive magic power provided by the strong magic zone.

Immediately made it unable to move, and it crashed heavily to the ground, creating a deafening roar and billowing smoke.

The hundred or so people inside, including Charmy and Grey, were also unable to stand firm.

They bumped into walls everywhere amidst the violent shaking, and screams and shrieks rose and fell.

But after all, they were all magic knights, and once the turbulence subsided, no one was seriously injured.

The group scrambled out through the exit opened by Henry.

Only Henry, who was still inside, was shocked to discover the invisible barrier that isolated all the black flames.

He could imagine that if it weren't for them, the black flames would probably have burned into the Clover Kingdom long ago.

Of course, the spread would not have been too fast.

"What... exactly... is... this...?"

At the same time.

Just as these people, with the help of the Black Bull headquarters, successfully escaped, the magic knights and ninjas who were fighting in pairs in the nearby area within the strong magic zone were in for a disaster.

"Water Release: Water Whip!"

In a place with a large swamp.

An elite Jonin from the Hidden Mist Intelligence Unit, wearing a white mask on his face.

While moving at high speed on the surface of the mud with water flowing under his feet.

Launched an attack on a Fourth Class Senior Magic Knight, who also belonged to the Intelligence Unit, in front of him.

But the attack was blocked in time by the opponent's wind magic called 'Wind Dance Guard Ring'.

Then, he returned more than a dozen wind bullets, but the ninja who was hit suddenly turned into water.

The magic knight secretly thought something was wrong and immediately consumed a large amount of magic power, bursting out a circle of light green air waves around him.

Sure enough.

The ninja's figure, which had been pushed out a dozen meters to the left, immediately appeared.

The water clone, plus the invisibility technique, almost cost him his life.

"Hoo--"

The magic knight from the Crimson Lion Kings heaved a sigh of relief:

"These people's fighting skills are too amazing, such a strong sense of oppression, it's simply suffocating."

But the next second, he saw that the figure that had been pushed out disappeared in the wind.

This made his pupils suddenly contract.

But it was too late.

Suddenly, two arms appeared from the mud below, grabbed his legs, and pulled him into the swamp.

The magic knight's desire to survive erupted, and he immediately released wind attribute magic power, trying to break through the mud and fly into the air.

【Puchi--】

A kunai wrapped in Water Release chakra pierced into his vest.

The blood-stained water then burst out from his chest.

"Ugh..."

The magic knight's body froze in place, his face filled with complex expressions such as pain, fear, and regret.

He knew he was going to die.

And as his life force rapidly drained away, his grimoire, which was blooming with green light in front of him, also began to decompose and disappear from the corner of the book.

It was a bit like a starfish's life card.

【Swish!】

The ninja leaped out of the mud, his feet covered in chakra, and stood firmly on the surface of the swamp.

"Hmph, good skills, but unfortunately, you still lack experience..."

He looked down at the magic knight who had lost his mind and was already dead, and sneered.

This ninja used to be a Jonin in the Hidden Mist Village's 'Assassination Ninja Squad'.

That is, ninjas who specialize in hunting down rogue ninjas.

So, this kind of small-scale battle was all too familiar to him.

Although these magic knights of the Intelligence Unit had received some training.

They were still too tender compared to ninjas like them from the Hidden Mist.

Especially since the battlefield was such a complex natural environment.

"Hmm?"

Just as this ninja was about to step on the magic knight's head into the swamp and leave.

He suddenly sensed something was wrong and suddenly turned to look behind him, was that fire?

But why was it black?

With a horrified and uncertain mood, he quickly leaped to the top of a tree crown similar to a silver-leaf swamp palm.

Immediately, a scene that horrified him came into view.

Have you ever seen a sandstorm?

Have you ever seen a tsunami?

Then please replace them with a monstrous sea of fire sweeping across and as black as ink!

"Amaterasu?"

Tanaka Atsuya almost split his eyes, his terrified voice was full of fear.

Then he immediately turned around and used the 'Water Instantaneous Body Technique' to desperately escape.

"What a joke, which bastard released Amaterasu?"

"Are those Uchiha guys, damn it--"

A dramatic scene happened.

The magic knight who had just been killed by Tanaka Atsuya, because his upper body was trapped in the swamp.

He stared blankly at him running towards him, and then was completely submerged by the rolling 'Amaterasu Tsunami'.

Similar things.

Were being staged in many places at this moment.

The magic knights and ninjas who were still fighting fiercely the second before.

Were fleeing frantically side by side the next second.

Some people who were farther away and noticed earlier were fine.

But those who were closer and slower were eventually buried in the black sea of fire.

If you looked down from the sky, you could see within the strong magic zone.

A ring of black fire was spreading to the north, west, and east.

As for the south, it was blocked by an invisible wall.
