The entire treasure vault trembled because of it!
"Hmm?"
"This magic power is…"
"It's from Lorne's side!"
Asta, who was cheering for his new sword, Klaus, who was trying to maintain his noble demeanor, and Noelle and Luck, all turned their heads in surprise almost simultaneously, looking towards that inconspicuous corner.
They only saw a flash of silver light that quickly vanished.
Lorne stood there, a grimoire emitting a soft glow floating in front of him.
"Lorne! What did you find?!"
Asta, carrying the demon-slayer sword, shouted curiously.
The light dissipated, the grimoire slowly closed, and flew back to Lorne's waist.
What was that just now?
He could feel that his grimoire indeed had a new page of magic.
But he couldn't understand any of the characters.
If it was written into his grimoire, then does it record time or space attribute magic?
Or both?
It seems he'll just have to find an opportunity to slowly experiment with it later.
Although he didn't know exactly what it was, Lorne had a hunch that his harvest this time would definitely not be inferior to Asta's and Yuno's.
Just then—
Boom!!!
An earth-shattering roar, without any warning, came from outside the treasure vault!
The sound was as if something huge had been forcibly destroyed!
Immediately after, the entire Magic Palace began to shake violently!
"Whoa ah ah ah! What's going on?!"
Asta was thrown off balance, almost falling.
"An earthquake?!" Mimosa quickly grabbed a nearby pillar.
From the ceiling, dust and rubble rained down, and huge cracks began to appear in the massive stone roof!
"This is bad! It's going to collapse here!" Klaus's face changed dramatically as he roared.
Rumble—!
The collapse began!
Huge chunks of stone fell from the dome, smashing large pits into the mountain of gold before them, sending countless gold coins and gems scattering!
"Let's go!"
Lorne also reacted, shouting loudly.
"Yuno!"
Without his reminder, Yuno had already sprung into action!
He took out his grimoire, and a fierce wind gathered!
"Heavenly Wind Ark!"
A streamlined airship made of gale winds instantly formed, hovering steadily in mid-air.
"Hurry up!" Yuno shouted.
Everyone dared not delay for a moment, scrambling onto the ark.
Lorne was the last one. As he jumped on, he casually scooped up a handful of glittering gems and stuffed them into his pocket.
"Hold on tight!"
With a low shout from Yuno, the Heavenly Wind Ark instantly transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the way they came, which was the large door Asta had split open!
The airship's speed was incredibly fast, nimbly weaving through the collapsing treasure vault.
Lorne stood at the bow, cold air emanating from his body, instantly freezing several huge rocks that came crashing towards them into ice crystal, then shattering them with a punch!
"Boom!"
Ice shards flew.
The Heavenly Wind Ark successfully rushed out of the treasure room!
The situation outside was even worse!
The entire Magic Palace structure was collapsing, passages were constantly caving in, and everywhere there was rolling dust and falling giant rocks!
The moment the airship rushed out of the treasure vault, Lorne's gaze subconsciously swept over the spot where Mars had been defeated earlier.
It was… empty!
Not only was Mars gone, but even the restraints Klaus had created with magic were shattered on the ground!
Lorne's pupils constricted, and he immediately looked at Klaus.
"Klaus! Where is Mars's grimoire?!"
Klaus was stunned by the question, subconsciously reaching into his pocket, then his face changed dramatically.
"It's gone! When did it…"
Lorne's heart sank.
The culprit was gone, and the grimoire was also gone.
Coupled with the huge destructive sound just now… This was no accident; someone had broken in from outside and rescued Mars!
However, now was not the time to worry about such things!
"Ahead! It's going to collapse!" Noelle screamed, pointing forward.
They saw the entire ceiling of the passage in front of them crashing down, about to completely block their path!
"Leave it to me!"
Lorne's eyes narrowed, and he pushed his hands forward!
ice crystal forcibly propped up the giant rocks blocking the way, clearing a path!
The Heavenly Wind Ark passed through without stopping.
They sped through the collapsing palace, each turn accompanied by giant rocks narrowly scraping past them.
