Chapter 515: The Outgoing Girl

At the Card Maker Association’s headquarters, Null’s house.

There are only a few ninth-level members in the Card Maker Association, so it’s really easy to find Null.

The proud defensive magic circle of the Card Maker Association seemed useless in Karoso’s eyes.

His rules allowed him to return from Acheron, even the laws of life and death could not stop Karoso, let alone this ordinary magic circle.

Of course, this magic circle could still hold off regular ninth-tier magic, even limiting extreme ninth-tier like the Pope, but to Karoso, this magic circle was very ordinary.

Karoso came down with 『』, directly appearing on the second-floor balcony of Null’s house.

Feeling the powerful waves of magic energy, Null immediately saw the two of them.

The moment he saw 『』, Null was stunned.

『』, she should be dead!

His connection with 『』 could not be mistaken; their bond had broken the moment 『』 entered Acheron, or else Null would not have reached ninth tier.

Could it be that I miss my sister so much that I am imagining things?

『』 saw Null and could not hold back her tears. She rushed forward and hugged him tightly, "Brother…".

"『』?" Null, stunned, placed his hand on 『』’s back, "Is it really you?"

『』 nodded vigorously.

They were very proper twins, looking very similar. Seeing Null’s face, Karoso had a strange expression.

"What happened to you? Where did you go? Why did we lose contact?" Null’s initial daze turned into joy.

"I went to Acheron. I’m back, I came back alive." 『』 said softly, "Brother, I’m back from Acheron!"

"It’s good that you’re back, good that you’re back…" Null said with a relieved expression, "We will never be apart again."

"Well…" 『』 wanted to say that whether we stay together depends on you, after all, I have gotten married, and you are still single. If you want to live with us, that’s fine too…

This is different from living with parents after marriage, where you have to take good care of them. Null is a ninth-level Card Maker. Wherever he wants to go, everyone has to support him.

However, 『』 didn’t know how to start the conversation.

Now, 『』 felt relieved seeing Null safe.

In fact, she didn’t really need to worry, after all, Null was a Card Maker. In modern times, that would be like having a top physicist from World War II, plus a leading arms dealer, with his own factory. Who would want to upset someone like Null for no reason?

"Brother, I got married…" 『』 thought for a long time and finally said this.

"Getting married is good, getting married is good… Wait, married?" Null didn’t respond at first, but once he understood, he looked bewildered.

He let go of 『』 and stared at her in disbelief, "You got married? To who?"

"To him…" 『』 shyly pointed to Karoso behind her.

Only then did Null notice that 『』 hadn’t come back alone.

Just now, his emotions were too intense, and he hadn’t seen anyone else.

[Hahaha, Null is totally confused.]

[My lovely little sister, is she just going to run off like that?]

[I can’t take it anymore, I’m laughing too hard.]

[Where is my sister? How could she just leave with someone?]

"Are you crazy!" Null’s fingers started to tremble as he pointed at Karoso. "This is a student! Do you know how big the age gap is? You are twice his age! When you graduated, he wasn’t even born yet!"

"I don’t care…" 『』’s voice was soft but very firm.

Null looked at 『』, thinking she had lost her mind.

Wait, Karoso is a noble kid after all; he must have many tricks to charm girls.

Damn it, did he fool my sister?

"Karoso, we are even now. I don’t owe you anything, and in fact, I have helped you a lot!" Null pulled 『』 behind him and shouted angrily, "Did you trick her with some kind of scheme? She is a naive person; her life only revolves around card making. She should not be caught up in your noble disputes! Yes, she is a ninth-level Card Maker, but you should win her over with your sincerity, not with tricks like this!"

"Brother…"

"Shut up, don’t call me brother!" Null instinctively took out a card; it was a new nine-star card he had made recently.

At that moment, Null resembled a protective father.

Their parents were gone; they only had each other, and the other was their only family.

Null had always had a bad impression of Karoso because Karoso revealed the secret of Null and 『』 when he first entered the school, and Null had to pay Karoso a lot to keep him quiet about it.

After that, Karoso took 『』 around everywhere, and how many cards did 『』 make for Karoso for free?

This was not about 『』 not earning money from Karoso; it was that 『』 had put aside her research because of Karoso, which made Null even more unhappy.

When Null looked at Karoso, he saw a noble who loved to take advantage of others, always thinking about how to use people.

Now it’s not just about using her; he has taken 『』 away for nothing!

It’s like a guy you think very little of, riding a bicycle and winning your daughter over, and then your daughter says, ‘Dad, you don’t understand him at all.’

In Null’s empty gaze, Karoso is that boy on the bicycle…

"I did not use any underhanded tricks." Karoso took a deep breath and respectfully bowed to Null, "We share life and death, and true feelings are revealed in tough times. I truly like 『』. The age difference you mentioned does not matter to me."

"I also don’t want her to be caught up in so-called noble fights; I like her not because she is a Card Maker; I genuinely care for her."

"With my current strength, I don’t need 『』’s help. Those so-called noble fights, even struggles for power, are nothing to me now."

"Don’t worry, I won’t use 『』, and I won’t rely on her strength."

"The reason I came to find you is to ask you to take care of 『』 for me; I have some trouble to deal with…"

"What trouble?" Null still held onto his caution.

Karoso slowly looked up and saw seven ninth-level warriors had caught up.

Karoso sprang into the air and charged at the nine people!

In fact, with 『』 by his side, even though 『』 was also a ninth-level warrior, it made Karoso feel a bit restrained.

『』 was not a burden, but when Karoso fought, he always worried about hurting her.

"Seven ninth-level warriors?" Null’s face changed.

What did this little guy do to be targeted by so many ninth-level warriors!

Among these seven ninth-level warriors, Hyros had even fought Null before, defeating him easily.

Null understood how great the difference could be between ninth-level warriors.

"You… might become a widow?" Null’s gaze fell on 『』.

Seven ninth-level beings are mobilized. Even if he is a Card Maker, he knows this definitely means a kill order, and one signed by the United Nations.

The last time seven ninth-level beings were mobilized was hundreds of years ago, wasn’t it?

"No, you two are not married at all. I do not recognize this marriage!" Null thought to himself.

"We have Acheron as a witness, countless heroic spirits as witnesses, and his ancestors as witnesses!" 『』 said firmly, "I am his for this life. If he dies, I will do whatever it takes to avenge him! Even, I will fight alongside him; we might die together!"

"You are not allowed to go!"

Null decisively threw out a card.

[Name: Sacred Bind]

[Type: Spell]

[Star Level: 9]

[Rank: Purple Epic]

[Occupational Restriction: Pastor]

[Description: The binding of the Holy Light makes it impossible for evil people to break free.]

This card is a masterpiece of Null, who was told to make cards for the church during the trial, and this card is specially designed for the Pastor.

Moreover, if Null encounters danger later, this card can also trap his opponent for a while, allowing him to escape.

Null thought that 『』 would be easily subdued and bound in place.

Little did he know…

『』 silently glanced at Null, and suddenly a powerful force surrounded her, pushing Null’s card power back significantly.

Around 『』, the laws of the entire world responded to her command, reducing the power of all cards by at least thirty percent.

In this field, her understanding is stronger than Karoso’s. Karoso can only reduce the power of others’ cards by ten percent at most.

This is the Card God Domain. As long as you are using cards, you are fighting with my power!

Karoso’s understanding of this rule is shallow; either he is moving too fast or he simply has no time to learn card making, while 『』’s foundation is too strong.

『』 is the person in the world who understands the Card God Domain the most. She is the true disciple of the Card God!

Swish!

With a flick of her hand, 『』 summoned a red dragon that roared in the air.

Suddenly, Slifer the Sky Dragon appeared among the clouds.

The previous battle was not finished, but those people did not destroy this companion; it has been following 『』 all along.

Again, 『』 flicked her hand, and a golden card sprang forth.

[Name: Power of the Hero]

[Type: Spell]

[Star Level: 9]

[Rank: Golden Legend]

[Occupational Restriction: Pastor]

[Description: You can bind the body of the hero, but you cannot bind their spirit!]

Buzz!

A shadow of a golden giant appeared above 『』, and the golden rope thrown into the air by Null was shattered in a second.

The attributes granted by the hero still remain on 『』.

Splash!

『』 stepped forward, grabbed Null, and easily took him down.

Null looked confused.

He found it hard to accept!

Just a moment ago, he had given it his all, but 『』 had easily subdued him, just like Hyros did to him.

Null couldn’t understand; they were twins, so they should have the same abilities.

Null could at most make an Epic Card, and that was because of his special talent.

But 『』 casually threw out a Golden Legend card and used it with great skill.

It was clear that 『』 was far ahead of Null in both card-making and fighting.

"You… are you really going to hurt me for someone else?" Null said angrily.

"Brother, I’m sorry. If it were you in danger, I would fight for you without hesitation. In my heart, you all matter the same." 『』’s hand loosened a little.

Null was about to struggle, but he saw 『』’s hand press down harder, holding him down again…

"Brother, you can let me do anything for you, but you can’t stop me from fighting for him!" 『』 said softly.

"How long have we been together? We grew up together, made cards together, supported each other. How long have you known him…?" Null was left speechless by 『』.

"Not long, but he is my hero and my husband!" 『』 said firmly.

Null let out a sigh.

I’m tired. Just let it all end; this love-struck sister is hopeless.

……

Karoso raised his sword in the sky to greet the enemies; now without 『』 by his side, he could truly show his skills.

To sit down and negotiate properly, you must be able to intimidate the enemy.

The truth lies within the range of the cannon, and that will never change.

However, just being able to freely use the Mirror World rules does not seem to win their respect.

[Name: Stars in the Sky]

[Category: Spell]

[Star Level: 9]

[Grade: Blue Rare]

[Occupational Restriction: Hunter]

[Introduction: This arrow carries the power of the stars.]

The hunter saw that the distance was right and decisively shot an arrow at Karoso.

Two knights and a warrior charged at Karoso once again!

They moved through the air as if they were on solid ground, like three main battle tanks rolling toward Karoso.

The space around them was slightly twisted, as if it could collapse at any moment.

Master Norma’s Light of Life strengthened his teammates and weakened Karoso.

Joseph waved his hand, and endless Arcane Missiles shot toward Karoso from all directions, blocking every possible escape route.

Pastor had already empowered everyone when they arrived.

Looking up at the sky, Null couldn’t help but sigh, thinking that with seven Ninth-Grade opponents, Karoso was surely doomed.

But something unexpected happened.

Karoso raised his long sword high, as if a person dressed in rags, smelling of fish, sea water, and rum, stood behind him, doing the same action as Karoso.

Buzz!

The primal flame ignited on the blade.

It was noon, and a beam of Eternal Sunlight shone down on Karoso’s long sword.

In Karoso’s eyes, the whole world was filled with red lines; it seemed he could kill the entire world!

Gathering Surtr’s Absolute Power, Karoso swung his sword.

[Name: Blade of Tige]

[Category: Spell]

[Star Level: 9]

[Rank: Golden Legend]

[Occupational Restriction: Warrior]

[Introduction: Karoso, your ancestors are watching over you. This strike carries your strength and their wishes for future generations!]

Buzz!

"Hold the line!"

The two knights raised their shields at the same time.

[Name: Holy Dawn Shield]

[Type: Spell]

[Star Level: 9]

[Grade: Purple Epic]

[Job Restriction: Knight]

[Description: This shield protects the light of dawn! When placed on the true Dawn Shield, it can unleash endless power.]

[Only when you have a heart of protection can this card reach its full potential!]

Berdace’s Dawn Shield, along with the strongest Defense Card, appeared on this battlefield.

[Name: The Distant Ideal City]

[Category: Spell]

[Star Level: 9]

[Rank: Purple Epic]

[Occupational Restriction: Knight]

[Introduction: As long as the heart does not give in, the walls will never fall.]

Stan Eichler used the Defense Card from the Knights of the Round Table, and he saw the walls of Lionheart City appear right in front of him.

On one side was a barrier built with knightly spirit, and on the other side was the strongest Defense Card of the Church of Dawn Goddess, reinforced by the Pastor and Nature Mage.

The four of them were facing Karoso’s strongest attack!
