Chapter 50: Not a Lucky Charm
At the same time.
Click, click, click…
The sound of glass shattering filled the air, and one by one, the Poisoners in the jars opened their eyes.
They had absorbed the liquid, looking much stronger now, fiercely pounding on the glass cover.
“Ahh!”
Bang, bang, bang…
The sound of knocking felt like hitting their chests.
Neymar took out a card and blew on it.
“Puff…”
A cold breath passed by, freezing all the glass covers.
“Brother!” Neymar quickly turned to look at Karoso.
Karoso was busy making cards and said, “Don’t mind me for now, guard the elevator entrance, don’t let any of them escape.”
Obviously, Karoso knew Neymar couldn’t hold them for too long.
Swish!
The flameblade stood by Karoso’s side, floating in mid-air without Karoso’s control, as if protecting its master.
“I’ll still protect you, I’m afraid of this sword…”
“I’ve said, don’t worry about me!” Karoso said firmly. “I promised Teresa that no monster should go down below, just like she wouldn’t allow a monster and a person to come to me.”
“But…”
“There’s no ‘but’, go.” Karoso gave orders while carefully handling the copper blocks. “My promise is your promise, even if it means death, it must be fulfilled.”
“Yes!”
“[Oh dear, have we caused trouble?]
“[If we didn’t let Master Karoso create cards, and just had him go downstairs, wouldn’t that solve the problem?]
“It’s not your fault,” Karoso whispered when he found a moment, “All the gifts of fate come with hidden price tags.”
“Staying here to make cards, we are bound to face danger, I have considered this,” said Karoso.
Karoso was the kind of person who, when given advice by others, made decisions based on his own thoughts first, focusing on his own problems when issues arose rather than blaming others.
Under the guidance of Osiris, Karoso understood that risks and opportunities coexisted.
With so many Poisoners present and obvious benefits to be gained, how could there be no danger?
After weighing his options, Karoso believed that the so-called Underworld Card by netizens must be very powerful, with rewards outweighing the risks.
[Does Master Karoso really trust Teresa so much?]
[We have all vouched for Teresa, how could Master Karoso not believe in her…]
[Well, Honey Karoso actually believes in us.]
[Don’t worry, Master Karoso, this card is definitely worth it, it can help you enter the gates of the underworld.]
Neymar gritted her teeth and decisively walked to the elevator entrance.
Click!
Suddenly, the first glass shattered, and a Poisoner lunged towards Neymar.
Neymar took a deep breath.
Forget about her brother, he said he didn’t need protection, he was the strongest.
This is a battlefield, she must remember her brother’s orders, and then… firm execution!
Neymar’s gaze became more determined.
Swipe!
When the Poisoner lunged at Neymar, she dodged swiftly and used her magic wand to spin him out of the way.
Click, click, click…
Just then, three more Poisoners came running out. They avoided the one Neymar had spun away and all charged at Neymar together.
Neymar took out a card and started chanting a spell.
Starting level three magic now, spells are needed, I can’t shorten them.
Darn, I’m still too weak. If my brother had been here just now, he could have knocked down at least two Poisoners with one hit.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Three purple Arcane Missiles shot out and hit each of the three Poisoners, visibly weakening them.
As they closed in, Neymar used her magic wand to spin their heads away.
[Uh oh, Neymar is getting up close and personal now?]
[This totally goes against your laid-back image!]
[I never knew Neymar could also brandish her magic wand to attack – not like a wizard at all.]
[Neymar is a noble, not just a flower arranger. She can even wield a royal sword if needed.]
[Is the first strike just to get a feel for it?]
Bang bang bang…
More Poisoners emerged, rushing towards Neymar and Karoso respectively.
Netizens also noticed that when Neymar initially used the magic wand, it wasn’t to get a feel for it, but because she thought there weren’t enough enemies and wanted to conserve magic power.
As more enemies appeared, Neymar unleashed a Spell Card and slammed her magic wand forcefully onto the ground.
Buzz!
A purple arcane storm swirled under Neymar’s feet, lifting her skirt slightly.
All the Poisoners paused at the same time, as if struck by a hammer.
Neymar’s mastery of magic, arcane control, completely defied the netizens’ expectations.
Those Nature Mages below couldn’t possibly match Neymar’s precise magical control.
Among her peers of Elemental Mages, Neymar was already outstanding, not as extreme as Karoso but still impressive.
She possessed a deeper understanding and study of magic, unlike those who just use magic without understanding its principles.
Neymar once again played a card, and flames spread towards the Poisoners at her feet.
Sizzle…
“Ouch!”
Smoke rose from the poisoner’s body, the heat making them scream.
Unfortunately, these poisoners were monsters who did not fear pain, they kept charging towards Neymar even when being cooked alive.
Neymar panted lightly, waving her magic wand as the temperature kept rising.
Then, Neymar exhaled a cold breath, freezing a row of poisoners.
The monsters, not deterred by the frozen poisoners, pushed them aside, knocked them down, or even trampled them to attack.
As time passed, in less than twenty minutes, these poisoners had piled up in front of Neymar.
Meanwhile, Karoso was focused on making cards, he finished adding materials and was now drawing a magic circle.
The flameblade behind him swung wildly, leaving many poisoners’ bodies on the ground.
Even though Karoso ignored Neymar, Neymar kept using group control skills to help Karoso buy time and reduce pressure.
[Master Karoso, stop now, Neymar is in danger!]
[Neymar is switching to close combat now.]
[Oh no, why did I suggest Master Karoso to keep making cards, the normal strategy might have been completed by now.]
[Neymar is in real danger now.]
[You wouldn’t really let her die here, right?]
Karoso completely focused on making cards and defense, he didn’t pay attention to the bullet comments at all, and had no ability to distract himself.
It’s a good thing he didn’t look, otherwise, the netizens’ words would have just made him make mistakes while being busy.
Buzz…
Just then, two blue lights appeared, and two cards were activated at the same time!
Without looking at the card in front of him, Karoso put one hand away and grabbed the flameblade next to him with the other hand, rushing towards Neymar.
