Chapter 129 You stinking gambler! You better give me back my passion!
The Queen Knight and the King Knight, wielding swords and shields, blocked the sword energy that the turtledove was about to unleash.
The weapons clashed but no sparks flew; only the muffled sound of shields shattering inch by inch.
Chase looked down at Lucy in his arms, his expression serious. "Lucy, the enemy is very strong this time. Can you do me a favor?"
"How could this be? An opponent that even Chesgo wasn't confident of defeating?!"
Lucy was startled, then nodded emphatically, "Someone as weak as me might not be of much use, but I'll definitely try my best!"
This is the first time I'm fighting alongside Chess, so I'll definitely have to give it my all!
The girl's beautiful eyes were filled with awareness, and she excitedly pulled out the Zodiac key from her waist.
"Activate! Gold! Aaaaaaah~!"
Before the Celestial Magic could even be used, a strong sense of weightlessness and a howling hurricane enveloped the entire body.
As she watched the ground recede into the distance, Lucy instinctively let out a series of sharp screams—she was being tossed straight into the air by Chase!
"That way, our hands will be free." Chess stretched his arms and clenched his fists.
Lucy, bewildered in mid-air: So this is what you meant by helping!
You stinking card player! You battle maniac! Give me back my passion!
As expected of her, when she wants to complain, nothing can stop her.
In the blink of an eye, the dove had already cut the Queen Knight and the King Knight to pieces, and as it lunged toward Chase, it gripped its longsword tightly as it was sheathed again.
"Moonless Flow - Garuda Flame!"
A ring of flames burst forth, not only adding a scorching quality to the fierce slash, but also concealing the blade's trajectory!
This is her signature move; even if the enemy can withstand the burning flames, they will be severely injured by the subsequent slashes!
However, Chase's next move made Dove's pupils shrink, revealing an expression of disbelief: he didn't dodge or flinch, but just stood there, slowly extending his bronze arm!
A card mage with low combat power actually wanted to take a blow that could cut through specially made steel?
In that instant, the proud dove was completely enraged, and reversed the flaming longsword it had swung out, aiming straight for Chase's neck.
Midon!
The sound of metal clashing rang out, and the Garuda Flame that arrived first was scattered by the shockwave, flying in all directions and scorching the street tiles black.
Within the circle of flames, Chase clenched his right fist, using the sealed man's right arm to block the sharp blade that was only centimeters from his head!
The dove, whose attack was blocked, was not flustered at all; instead, it let out a confident sneer.
The next second, the chains snapped, and the sealed man's right arm shattered like cheap glass!
"To underestimate my daughter's Mugetsu-ryu swordsmanship like this will lead to a terrible death, Mr. Chase—"
The dove's hands, gripping the hilt of the knife, trembled slightly, preparing to sever Chase's right arm and body in two. Suddenly, her breath caught in her throat as she saw Chase's right arm, now stripped of its "equipment" cover.
Layers of dark red scales were embedded in the skin's surface, reflecting the cold moonlight and bringing a sacred aura that could not be described in words.
Its sturdiness was such that it could withstand his invincible slashes?
No, that's not right!
Has my slash attack been weakened?!
Feeling the mysterious power emanating from the tip of the blade, the dove's pupils widened as it realized the root of the problem.
"I'm not underestimating your swordsmanship; on the contrary, I'm using the strongest magic."
Chase smiled calmly, his gaze narrowing slightly before erupting into a surging, dark red storm, "Sky Dragon's—"
A magic completely different from before?!
As a professional assassin, Banjiu had an extremely keen sense of danger. Without any hesitation, he quickly retreated. Before he could even regain his footing, the blade flashed out.
"Moonless Style: Yaksha Flash!"
"Iron Fist!"
boom!!!
The fist wind roared out like a giant dragon. Under the crushing force of this extremely violent power, the invincible slashes of the spotted dove were twisted and then shattered!
Even though the dove parried with its sword at the first moment, it was still shaken backward by the residual shockwave, sliding on the ground for more than ten meters before dissipating all the energy and barely stopping its body.
"Such power from just a punch, what kind of magic is this—"
The arms gripping the knife trembled violently. The turtledove had completely lost the confidence and ease it had shown when it first appeared, and a rare look of terror appeared in its eyes.
Not only is his card magic unmatched and his combat reactions impeccable, but he also possesses terrifying magic with astonishing destructive power.
What was Lord Gerald thinking, sending them to assassinate such a monster!
Instead of pressing his advantage, Chase raised his hands and caught Lucy, who was about to fall to the ground and be smashed into a pulp.
Yes, the timing was perfect.
He was handsome, but Lucy's experience lying in his arms was terrible; her beautiful, big eyes stared at her...
It was overflowing with resentment.
I will absolutely, positively never fight alongside Chess again!!
The still-shaken girl silently made up her mind.
"Chase! Lucy! What happened?!"
Just as Chase put Lucy down, two shouts came from different directions at the same time.
Erza, clad in armor, and Mira, in a burgundy dress, approached quickly, their faces filled with confusion.
Further behind them, their companions from Magnolia also arrived one after another, their momentum quite fierce.
"Damn it, the worst has happened!" The dove bit its lip hard, its eyes chillingly cold.
Having never failed an assassination attempt before, she couldn't accept this outcome, but she couldn't think of any way to salvage the situation.
Ultimately, the instinct for survival prevailed over desire, and she looked at Vidarudas and shouted, "Vidaludas, retreat!"
Still reeling from the shock of Lucy's suicide attempt, Vidarudas quickly snapped out of it. The three crows' years of teamwork made him immediately understand White Dove's meaning. He frantically strummed the guitar in his hand, unleashing incredibly sharp and piercing sonic magic.
Taking advantage of the opening, the dove pulled a magical smoke bomb from its chest and slammed it to the ground.
boom!
Thick smoke and dust instantly covered the entire street.
When the thick smoke cleared, Chase and Lucy looked up and saw that the entire street was empty.
Including the owl that was defeated at the beginning, the three crows have all disappeared without a trace!
"Chess, who were those people just now?"
Erza and Mira arrived, looking at the devastated scene and the small building that had collapsed into ruins, and asked with concern.
Judging from the situation at the scene, this was definitely an attack targeting Chess!
Upon hearing this, Lucy, who had personally experienced the other party's power, also looked on with a puzzled expression.
"The assassination guild, Bones and Skull, claims to be a special operations group called Three Crows."
Chase patted his slightly dirty clothes, not in a hurry to chase after the three, including the spotted dove.
Or to be more precise, they were deliberately let go—fighting in Magnolia would have been too restrictive for them.
As for the methods of tracking, they were already laid out back when he knocked Xiao down with one punch.
