Chapter 424
by post_apiChapter 424: Emotional Debt
Tom’s attention shifted to the blank cards ; these cards are not ordinary items; they seem specially made to control these materials and unleash their maximum power.
Although the cards are magical, they seem a bit dull compared to this woman.
The underground environment is terrible; it alternates between hot and cold, with chilly winds and the wails of the undead echoing in the canyon, and there are many ghostly cries as well.
Not only that, but the sound of the undead moving their bones is quite unsettling, making it very uncomfortable for those who listen; this is also a significant factor.
But for these, 『』 seemed to ignore them completely.
Even when making a simple card, she was completely focused.
"Okay."
Just as Tom was intently watching 『』 make the card, 『』 casually handed the card to him.
[Name: Geodude]
[Type: Companion]
[Race: Element]
[Star Level: 2]
[Grade: Blue Rare]
[Occupational Restriction: None]
[Introduction: A boring creation by 『』, blending the powers of earth and fire.]
Tom took the card and examined it carefully, "Amazing, so amazing."
"Is everything okay?" 『』 stretched lazily.
"Can I have an empty card?" Tom looked up.
"Here, take it and have fun." 『』 tossed an empty card to Tom, as if comforting a child.
Tom didn’t mind 『』’s attitude but carefully studied the two cards, recalling every detail from when 『』 made the cards.
"How do I use this?" Tom asked 『』.
"Soul binding; this is a bit complicated." 『』 stroked her chin, "I can’t adjust the card deck right now to show you; I still have a battle to prepare for."
Tom thought about 『』’s battle power and felt speechless.
Do you really not see that it makes no difference whether you are here during the battle or not?
Soul binding, how do you do that?
"Can you show me a card that you’ve bound before? Don’t worry, I won’t touch your card," Tom continued.
"Alright, I’m scared of you," 『』 said, casually taking out a Zero-star Card.
Tom’s magic touched 『』’s Zero-star Card and then touched Geodude.
Soon, Tom understood the principle behind it.
Slowly, Geodude in his hand began to fade.
Geodude’s attributes gradually appeared in his mind.
In an instant, Tom seemed to understand a lot. So this is how it is; so this is the kind of rule…
"Can you lend me another one, one without a bond?" Tom looked very eager.
『』 was not a stingy person. Tom had lost everything to her and still ran around with everyone. Although he was useless in battle, he pointed out who all the leaders were, saving Karoso a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, 『』 gave him another card.
When Tom first encountered Geodude, he did not remember the card’s attributes, but now he had a clear understanding of them.
[Name: Freezing Spell]
[Type: Spell]
[Star Level: 0]
[Grade: Gray Common]
[Job Restriction: Wizard]
[Introduction: Cast spells to freeze enemies; the spell’s effectiveness depends on one’s magical power and the enemy’s strength.]
Tom thought to himself that only those who have this card can know these things when they touch the card…
Speaking of which, the way of creating this card is so similar to my alchemy, as if it was derived from my alchemy.
Also, how are the rules of this card so similar to the ones I practice?
Just as Tom was lost in thought, a furious voice suddenly echoed through the underground world.
"Tom Marvolo Riddle, come out!"
The voice was female, filled with endless holy power.
"Your enemy?" 『』 was taken aback, clearly not expecting there were others underground.
Suddenly, a golden light came rushing closer from a distance.
Now, there were no soldiers in the underground graveyard; all the armies were gathered here, and it was very noticeable.
"Oh no, how did that crazy girl get here?" Tom’s face changed.
Buzz!
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure surrounded by golden light stood tall in the sky.
She had long golden hair, a pair of moon-blue battle boots hovering in the air, wore blue armor, crossed her arms, and glared at Tom.
"Are you crazy?!" Tom stood up and shouted at the woman, "Leona, I’ve told you I don’t like you, why are you still following me?"
"You don’t like me because my powers are not as strong as my sister’s?" Leona stared intensely at Tom.
"No, how many times do I have to tell you? This has nothing to do with your sister!" Tom looked like he had a headache.
"Then you must like me," Leona narrowed her eyes.
"I simply don’t like you…" Tom sighed, "We are not on the same path, just leave me be."
『』 opened her mouth wide in surprise.
She didn’t expect that Tom was really telling the truth!
This woman is so beautiful!
Her beauty is not the kind that is weak or like a social media star, but a kind of powerful beauty, as if she is the only one who matters in the world.
The most terrifying part is the deep magic this woman radiates; just looking at her makes 『』’s eyes hurt.
It is clear she is at least a level nine!
A level nine strong person, and she’s actually pursuing this gambler next to her? Does she have too much wealth?
The low-ranking soldiers in the army showed an interesting reaction at that moment.
The skeletons fell apart, the zombies lay on the ground one by one, and the vampires covered their heads with their hands and crouched down.
Only soldiers above level seven were able to barely keep themselves together at that moment.
Even though they looked like this, if they were called to action, they would still go.
"Hmph, anyway, you must marry me. If you don’t come with me, I will take you by force," Leona sneered. "What is mine is mine, and you cannot escape from my grasp."
As she spoke, she drew an icy blue sword from behind her back and unbuckled the shield on her back.
"You all continue." 『』 moved a little further away.
『』 looked at Leona’s weapon and shield, ands he couldn’t shake the feeling that they looked quite similar to the Dawn Sword and the Dawn Shield of the Church of the Dawn Goddess…
However, most shields and swords look like this.
Moreover, the power surrounding Leona is not from the Eternal Sun, but from the bright moon.
According to the typical story, Leona should ask who 『』 is, then foolishly get jealous and shout about getting rid of 『』.
However, this is clearly not a typical drama; Leona hasn’t even looked at 『』. She firmly believes she is the best, and what are other women worth?
Even if Tom says he likes 『』, Leona would not believe him.
Tom doesn’t want to go with her; he must be worried that his sister’s power is too strong.
This introduction should show that Leona is not a sickly type, but rather a person with obsessive tendencies.
"I want to see how you are going to take me away!" Seeing that the conversation wasn’t going well, Tom quietly opened his box, revealing cards inside, "Let’s duel!"
