Chapter 473: You Need to Know the Background When You Mix With Others

When the swords clashed again, Karoso did not get pushed back this time.

The strength Tige used was the same as before, without increasing at all, which shows that this way of fighting is the most suitable for Karoso.

Karoso felt that as he swung the sword, his blood was boiling; a shadow flashed in his mind, a shadow of himself in military uniform.

Was his fighting like this when he wielded the sword too?

Why, why did I only see rules before and not this…?

By the way, it seems that such things are useless in high-level battles.

But is it really useless?

Also, what did I see before? What was my past like? Who am I?

"Ah!"

Karoso cried out in pain.

Pfft!

Tige’s knife scraped against the side of Karoso’s neck, and a drop of blood stuck to the blade.

Then, Tige took a big step forward and struck the back of Karoso’s head with the flat side of the knife, knocking him out.

"Karoso!"

『』 was very surprised.

Before she could react.

Bang!

『』 was pressed to the ground by an elf’s soul.

Her card was full and could not absorb more power.

Also, 『』 had no strength left; this card could only barely be created and could not be used!

Can it really not be used?

Indeed, I don’t have the strength to use the card normally.

But what about card explosion?

The worst thing for a Card Maker is a card explosion, which means card creation has failed, meaning countless materials are wasted, and it could even cause some damage.

Some Card Makers, in their quest to create advanced cards, have even been killed by their own cards, just like how the old alchemist warlocks could die at their own alchemy tables.

『』 knows exactly how to make a card explode.

『』’s eyes narrowed, and she bit her tongue hard.

Pfff!

A blood arrow shot toward the back of the card.

Boom…

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the card exploded violently, sending endless black smoke pouring out.

The pirates surrounding 『』 were instantly turned into Soul Fragments!

Tige’s gaze sharpened, and he swung his long knife down.

Buzz…

The power of that card’s explosion was surprisingly suppressed.

The previous explosive force was as fierce as a tiger, but now it was like a gentle rabbit.

『』 looked at Tige with a face full of despair.

This guy is just too strong!

Even if we only use divine power, we would not be his match, even at our best.

Tige gently licked his knife and raised an eyebrow.

The bloodline is a bit thin; how many generations has it been…

Strange, he clearly has Jack’s face and possesses my power; it should be Jack.

No, how could Jack possibly die so late?

Could it be that time is mixed up?

Or maybe he diluted my bloodline…

Anyway, my bloodline is definitely true.

Some pirates who were far away gathered close to Tige, "Captain, what should we do?"

"Take these two to the ship, and keep your claws still," Tige said as he swung his sword.

The pirates who were just sealed into the cards by 『』 and the pirates who just exploded, came back together as if they had never died.

However, those killed by Karoso can never return.

"Captain?"

"Waaah… This woman is so fierce, I almost thought I wouldn’t see the captain again."

"It’s so scary, I never knew what it felt like to die and die again."

"Enough talk, get back to the ship." Tige glared at the pirates.

……

Soon, Karoso and 『』 were taken onto the ship.

"Tie up the man, as for the woman," Tige looked at 『』 with a playful expression.

"If you have a problem, come at me, let him go." 『』 looked at Tige, feeling a bit scared, but her eyes were full of determination.

"Captain, that man killed our brothers, throw him into Acheron!"

"Yes, let him feed the fish!"

"Sacrifice him to the God of Death!"

"Strip the woman and hang her on a flag!"

"Hahaha… Soon, there will be naked women to see every day."

"When her body dies, I will taste her soul!"

The more 『』 listened, the paler he became.

These guys… can’t really be planning to do that, right?

『』 felt a bit of an urge to bite her tongue and end it all.

"Don’t think about dying; this is Acheron. Even if you die, you’ll still appear here; your soul will just leave your body," Tige seemed to see through 『』’s thoughts.

"You…" 『』 looked completely hopeless.

"You two, what is your relationship?" Tige played with the knife in his hand, seeming indifferent.

He acted as if he did not hear the pirates’ shouts.

Some of your men have died?

Living at sea, if you die, it’s because you are not capable.

Among pirates, there is no friendship, only strength and profit.

"He is my student!" 『』 gritted her teeth.

Now 『』 was tied up tightly; she couldn’t use the trick she just tried.

This rope seems to have the power to restrain.

"Student? I think he is your man," Tige sneered.

Tige did not know how students and teachers could be so close.

"No, he is my student!" 『』 said defiantly, "You can do whatever you want to me, but you must let him go!"

"You? I need to keep you, as for him…"

Tige glanced at Karoso beneath his feet.

Now Karoso was tightly bound, right next to Tige.

Tige stepped on Karoso’s back lightly and snorted, "This kid has a remarkable background. I’ve met someone who liked to play cards, and the things he studied are very similar to the power this kid uses. Oh, and there was a girl following that card player, using the power of the Goddess of the Night; her strength is a bit like part of this kid’s power."

"Did both of them become gods? Otherwise, their power shouldn’t work here. Not just those two, but also the Lord of Eternity, the God of Fire, mixed with some unknown powers, ha…"

"He is dependent on these gods; if you dare to hurt him, those gods won’t let you go!" 『』’s pupils shrank as she realized Tige could clearly identify Karoso’s source of power.

Especially the way he referred to the Card God and the Aurora Goddess; were they from the same era?

At this moment, she was at the mercy of others and could only take a gamble to see if this guy was afraid of those gods.

"From the looks of you, it seems you know these people, just like I do from the same land," Tige said in a deep voice. "Back when I was alive, the one playing cards and his shadow weren’t my match…"

"Now they are gods! One is the Aurora Goddess, a church covering the continent, and the other is the Card God, who sets the rules for the entire land!" 『』 shouted, "God of War Surtr, he brought about the Twilight of the Gods with his own power, and Lord of Eternity, he is the most evil god! If you touch him, any of these gods will ensure your doom!"
