While the French team's conspiracy was quietly unfolding, Asterion, Rose, Cedric, and Luna seemed very relaxed at this moment, unlike many other teams in the King's Game. It wasn't that they lacked the competitive spirit against the other teams, but when you have the advantage, you just have to wait for things to work in your favor.
Which was exactly what was happening at this moment. Asterion was merely waiting for the first phase to end so that Luna could sit on the throne while he, Rose, and Cedric would protect her.
Suddenly, one of Asterion's observers transmitted the image of a team walking through a swampy path on the road leading to the highest mountain where the throne was located. Recognizing their appearance, he identified the team as the German team.
Recalling the appearance of Germany in the civil war, a cold smile appeared on Asterion's lips.
"I've located the German team," Asterion said, catching everyone's attention, especially Rose, who looked extremely bored.
"Where?" She stood up and asked with a wide smile on her lips. Her incredibly blue eyes sparkled for a moment.
"Ten kilometers to the north," Asterion replied without showing any signs of getting up. Although he wanted to vent on some punching bags, it was decided to save magical energy and protect the other team members, so only one of the two would attack at a time.
"Me or you?" Rose asked, cracking her knuckles. She stretched comfortably.
"I'll let you go first." Asterion closed his eyes again, returning his attention to the observers. He wanted to see if other teams were nearby; if there were, he would also attack, leaving Cedric to protect their team's queen.
Rose nodded, and just as she was about to leave, she heard Asterion's voice behind her.
"Don't go easy; Germany will be eliminated from the King's Game." His cold and indifferent voice made Rose's lips curl into a crazy smile full of excitement.
"Yes, my lord!" she said playfully, reinforcing her leg with magical energy.
But instead of heading directly to the German team, she went towards a relatively high mountain.

Crossing the swamp, the German team didn't know they had already become prey to be hunted.
The captain of the German team, Hans Weiss, the younger brother of the German Minister of Magic, Joseph Weiss, was a handsome and cheerful young man with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was tall and broad-shouldered, looking like the kind of guy most girls wanted to date.
"Captain, there are no enemy teams within a 2-kilometer radius," said a girl with brown hair and green eyes. She used her innate wind-related technique to check for people around her team.
"Thank you for your hard work, Greta," Hans smiled gently at the girl and refocused on the path ahead of him. Although he smiled, his eyes were incredibly serious.
His innate technique was purely supportive, enhancing his senses to an incredible level. His ancestor could even see a few seconds ahead in time with their innate technique. Although he was far from reaching that level, he was still extremely sensitive to danger and gazes. At this moment, his senses tingled at the back of his neck like never before.
He was being targeted by someone incredibly powerful. Hans just prayed to God that it was anyone but Asterion Black. His brother had already told him about the grudges between England and Germany. He knew that if Asterion Black found him, he would suffer cruelly at the opponent's hands.
Suddenly, Hans abruptly stopped in his tracks, sweat running down his handsome face, a chill running through his body, and his hairs standing on end in the face of imminent danger.
Hans looked up and saw only a blue and black malice emanating from a mountain peak several kilometers away. Focusing the magical energy in his eyes, Hans perfectly saw the mountain peak. His face turned pale, seeing those incredibly blue eyes looking directly at him.
"RUN! EVERYONE, SPREAD OUT NOW!!!" Hans shouted before reinforcing his body to the maximum and darting in a random direction.
The members of the German team were shocked by their captain's sudden roar, but no one questioned his orders. All three members shot off in different directions.
Atop the mountain, seeing the ants fleeing, the manic smile on Rose's face grew. She crouched and reinforced her body with magic, her eyes sharpening as she aimed first at the weakest member of the German team.
Boom!!!!
Rose's body shot down from the mountain, the entire peak sinking behind her as the sound of the kinetic wave spread throughout the arena.
Karl never doubted his captain's orders for a moment. He ran as fast as he could, not conserving his magical energy at this moment. His body shot forward at inhuman speeds, crossing a distance of 100 meters in mere 3 seconds. Then, he heard a deafening sound echo in the sky.
The next moment, a relatively tall figure with white hair appeared in front of him, the ground around them shattered and a crater formed about 5 meters wide.
"You can't run away, little mice~," Rose said, opening and closing her hand, her smile growing more excited as she looked at the semi-grade 2 wizard.
Karl felt sweat dripping down his face as he saw the young woman. He finally understood why his captain had ordered them to flee as quickly as possible. They had the misfortune of encountering the Hogwarts team!
"I'll give you a chance, attack with your strongest spell." Rose placed her hand behind her back and spoke casually, completely unconcerned with the enemy in front of her.
The blatant contempt didn't make Karl furious; he felt it was natural for the young woman to behave that way. He was an ant that could be crushed at any moment, and she was an elephant.
Drawing his wand, Karl pointed and flicked his wrist, shouting the most powerful spell he knew.
"Bombarda Maxima!!!!"
He didn't hold back his magical energy, pouring everything he had left into the spell. His wand protested under the enormous strain, causing a large crack to appear along its length, but the spell was successfully cast.
A red light shot out from the tip of his wand, illuminating the surroundings with a blinding glow.
Boom!!!
A deafening noise reverberated through the area, uprooting trees with the force of the explosion!
Karl, still pointing his wand forward, was breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling rapidly. He had never used all his magical energy in his life; his legs felt like jelly, and he doubted he could stand much longer.
As the smoke cleared, Karl's eyes widened in shock and horror. In front of him, Rose Potter still had her hands behind her back, smiling maliciously at him.
"That was a good attack, little mouse~," Rose said, slowly approaching Karl. With each step closer, the more terrified the member of the German team became.
Karl backed away in fear but tripped and fell to the ground, eyes wide with shock.
Suddenly, Karl's four limbs broke simultaneously. He looked at his broken limbs in horror and let out a painful roar.
"ARRGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Annoyed by the irritating sound, Rose lifted her leg and kicked Karl's head, rendering him unconscious.
Seeing the unconscious boy, Rose whispered to herself, "I used more magical energy than necessary. Manipulating space with the magical energy limit of a grade 2 wizard is quite draining."
"No matter, three more to go!" Looking towards the swamp, Rose's smile grew.
"I'm coming, little mice!"
