In the mountains outside Kurokas, the Eclipse Gate was silent under the cover of night.

Suddenly, August, holding a staff, slowly emerged and stood in this inconspicuous mountain range.

He looked around and smiled slightly: "So that's it... It's hidden in the magic circle." He whispered to himself, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Then, he stepped directly into the formation, with a strong magic-breaking power wrapped around his body, and wherever he went, it was like entering an empty space.

After a while, a huge gate appeared in front of him.

"This is... Eclipse." August whispered, his eyes were steady and deep.

At this moment, tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of defensive magic circles waiting in front of the Eclipse Gate lit up one by one.

The air suddenly became tense, the void was slightly distorted, and a figure slowly emerged.

He stared at August, his eyes full of vigilance and solemnity - this was midnight, the imperial demon general of the Eclipse Guard.

"Who is coming?"

"Hmm? Didn't the command center above you notify you?" Augustus stroked his long curving beard leisurely, speaking in a relaxed tone, as if he was just strolling into this heavily defended position.

Midnight looked at the old man in front of him, and his uneasiness became stronger.

He tried to suppress his inner hesitation and spoke again to try to save the situation: "Unknown Great Magician, please leave here! This place belongs to the territory of the Ishgar Empire!"

Augustus smiled slightly, his eyes deep: "I know very well. However, this door is one of the creations of our Majesty of the Albares Empire. I came here just to take it back."

Midnight's heart sank suddenly when he heard this. He took a deep breath, and his eyes emerged with determination.

The next second, he waved his hand coldly, and the corners of his mouth were ferocious: "Fire!"

In an instant, dozens of magic cannons that had been ambushed for a long time, Jupiter, lit up instantly, and the accumulated terrifying magic power swept towards Augustus like a raging wave, and exploded.

Before the artillery fire arrived, the violent magic power had already shaken the earth and cracked the earth and rocks.

"Boom--"

"Boom--"

The huge explosion sounded throughout the valley, burying the figure of August.

The entire hidden magic circle collapsed instantly from the inside, and the camp was completely exposed to the night.

"Did it hit?!" Simon stared at the smoke-filled front in astonishment, breathing rapidly.

"Do you think... these magic circles alone can cover up the movement of the magic cannon when it condenses magic power?" A cold voice suddenly came from behind Midnight, with a light tone, as if with a hint of sarcasm.

"When?!" Midnight's head roared, and he turned around in disbelief, and what came into his sight was August, who was unharmed.

He was about to move, but felt a pain in his chest. The next moment, a flaming spear had pierced his body and nailed him to the ground.

"Midnight!!" Simon looked back in horror, looking at his fallen companion, his heart trembling, "How is it possible... Even Midnight was defeated in an instant, this man..."

Here, due to the shielding of the hidden magic circle, unless they take the initiative to contact, they cannot get in touch with the outside world, and the situation outside is completely unknown to them.

This is also one of the disadvantages of this magic circle.

And now, Auguste's invasion has undoubtedly completely destroyed the defense line of the Eclipse Plan.

The gate is completely exposed to the enemy.

Simon stood there, staring at Auguste, who was like a demon, and his body trembled slightly; and Meister on the other side was even more unbearable, kneeling on the ground, pale, and lost his will to fight.

Auguste just glanced at them coldly, then retracted his gaze and walked towards the Eclipse Gate step by step.

His boots stepped on the ground, making a steady sound, lonely and firm, echoing in the silent air.

Forty thousand soldiers were extremely angry, watching his back as he moved forward, and fear gradually grew in their hearts.

Their magical perceptions were constantly telling them that this old man was unfathomable, as powerful as the legendary Emperor Hal, and was an unmatched existence.

August continued to move forward, and with a wave of his hand, he easily broke through the hundreds of defensive magic circles in front of the Eclipse Gate.

Buzz——

The light of hundreds of magic circles dimmed instantly, and the soldiers' fighting spirit was completely extinguished as the light disappeared.

Unbeatable!

What should I do, what should I do, the Emperor has not returned yet, and I can't let him take the gate away.

Move, move! ! !

Simon couldn't speak, his throat let out a low roar, and his teeth were clenched so hard that they almost broke.

His body was slightly trembling under the pressure of the terrifying magic power, and even the ground under his feet was faintly cracked, and blood oozed from his lips.

His eyes were full of unwillingness and anger, struggling, and refusing to bow his head.

He knewHe knew that he could not defeat this man, but he could not tolerate himself retreating.

In the end, he still could not take a single step.

The gap in strength - too big.

August did not look back, his steps were as steady as a mountain, and he ignored the weak resistance behind him.

For him, taking down this gate was just a routine matter, completing the mission.

The real purpose of his coming here was just to see her.

Yes, as long as he thought of seeing her, the originally suppressed emotions in his heart could not help but surge up, trembling slightly.

That was one of his few softness, deeply hidden under layers of cold masks, slowly, almost unconsciously leaking out.

It's almost time, mother, as long as I take back this gate, I can complete the mission, search the entire continent with magic power, and find you!

But at this moment, a white figure blocked his way.

August's eyes condensed and he looked down.

A thin white-haired girl, surrounded by dark magic, was obviously struggling to hold on, but she stood in front of the gate with great determination.

Her eyes pierced him like a sharp knife, with an unshakable determination.

"I won't let you take this gate away!" Mira's voice trembled slightly, but at that moment, the emotion revealed in her eyes made August slightly startled.
