Chapter 20 - The card of illusion

In a high-rise building, in a bedroom with a large glass door overlooking the city. A half-naked young man was looking at the night view of the city through the glass door, the night covered everything, the light from the buildings was like shining stars. It seemed like he was sensing something that had just happened.

"What's going on?"

The person on the bed spoke in a seductive female voice, her body moving as she sat up to look at the man standing outside looking outside. He replied without turning his face towards the person on the bed

"Nothing, just looking at the view"

"Is that so? What makes you so interested in looking at the view?"

The woman got out of bed, pulled the blanket closer to him, her slender hands hugged him from behind and rubbed against his back as if she was trying to seduce him.

The man turned around, a smile appeared on his face, and he bent down to kiss the woman opposite him when...

*Ring ring*

The sound of the phone ringing interrupted the atmosphere between the two. The man lazily picked up the phone to see who was calling, and it was Ryu. He held the woman's head with one hand and pressed the call button with the other.

"What is it, Ryu. It's rare for you to call me this late?"

"Are you busy? Or are you sleeping with someone again?"- Ryu

"No, I'm not sleeping with anyone. You're thinking too much."

"Whatever, what kind of person are you, how could I not know. Putting that aside, I have something to ask of you."- Ryu

"Oh, what is it that the great Ryu asked me for? It's not about that, is it?"

"Shut your mouth, pervert. Listen carefully." - Ryu

After a few exchanges, a chuckle came from the man.

"Tonight is a beautiful night, it would be a waste if we don't go for a walk, right?"

Hang up the phone, he escaped from the woman's hands and grabbed his coat, not caring about the disgruntled woman.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

"Sorry, miss, work can't be delayed, especially if it's important."

He said and slammed the door shut.

He had black hair with a few dark pink streaks on the strands, passing by the mirrors, a demon with a hot body, curved horns, bat wings and a tail appeared in the mirror. Although he was dressed very neatly, the mirror was the opposite.

Stepping out into the wide hallway, a well-dressed man with an owl head was standing there with a tray of tea and snacks.

"Are you satisfied?"- Ved

"It's normal, aren't all women the same?"

"You're really picky, incubus is also picky, right?"- Ved

"What are you talking about, I'm just picking out a good target. Prepare my motorbike."

"It's ready below, Mr. Vexmore."- Ved

Vexmore drove his motorbike, weaving in and out of the vehicles on the road. Accelerating the motorbike at a very fast speed, in just a flash, he and the motorbike left the human world. In a flash, the motorbike appeared in the parallel world, Vexmore turned the steering wheel to stop, the tires rubbing against the ground creating long tire marks.

He used binoculars to observe and saw the huge building, where it was said that the girl with the magic of the tree of life was.

"Let's see what kind of girl Ryu is so eager to see?"- Vexmore

Suddenly a flash of light came from the tall building and then exploded loudly, Vexmore opened his eyes wide in surprise, then from the smoke four people fell out of the building along with a giant blue wolf appearing to catch the three people.

"What the fuck? What just happened?"- Vexmore

So he quickly rushed there.

After calling the other person, Ryu sat on the bed and started performing the ritual of drawing each tarot card.

Past-present-future ritual.

~Shadow, tell me the situation of the person I'm thinking of~

One by one, the cards were drawn out and lined up, before turning them upside down, Ryu clasped his fingers together to concentrate his energy. Then he turned each card over.

-The Hanged Man-

"You are still stuck, feeling uncertain about choosing what to let go of, you could have let go of unnecessary things but you keep them as treasures."- Ryu

-The Strength-

"You are truly very strong, overcoming all difficulties by yourself, you live for yourself without necessarily proving yourself to others but live according to your true nature."

-The Star-

"This is really surprising, it seems like you are being guided to become someone who guides others in the right direction. You are turning yourself into light."

A mysterious expression flashed across Ryu's face. Then her eyes turned to the full moon shining in the sky, her eyes flashing red.

"Alexis Wood, you are in an important "transition" moment. Although you feel uncertain, there is a very strong inner force and a guiding light within you. Accept your current state as a preparation for a new journey. Trust your intuition, keep the faith, and don't forget to listen to your own dreams."

Ryu was about to put the deck back when a card fell out and landed on the three cards she had just drawn. Thinking that she had accidentally dropped them, she picked them up. But when she turned the card over, Ryu's face suddenly became shocked.

The tarot card, The Moon.

"Wait a minute, what is this?"- Ryu

_______

On the other side, three witches used magic to land on the ground, covered in dust, although they were not injured, only slightly scratched by the explosion. Just as Vexmore had rushed over to see this scene, he immediately scoffed.

"It seems that witches are also having trouble handling the problem, huh?"- Vexmore

"You are an incubus....what business do you have here?"- Austin

"We just happened to pass by, but you guys are testing new magic? Megan, it seems that you are having trouble teaching new recruits?"- Vexmore

"Shut up, it was just a mistake in the process of work. But the problem with that explosion was not caused by us, but by a tarot reader, she is a rookie"- Megan

Vexmore laughed out loud when he heard that.

"Really? What kind of rookie knows how to blow up an entire floor?"- Vexmore

"But there's something strange about her"- Megan

"What's strange? All Tarot Readers are strange, they're all mysterious people"- Vexmore

Having said that, Vexmore immediately jumped up to the floor that had just exploded.

However, what he saw was a bloody scene, the corpse of a monster whose shape could not be clearly seen because it had been cut into many pieces. Among the pieces of the corpse, a figure was standing there without moving, and her clothes were stained red with blood from top to bottom.

"Hey, are you okay? Are you that Alexis Wood that Ryu mentioned?"- Vexmore

The person immediately turned her head to look in his direction, the girl's face was strangely absent-minded with blood splattered on it, her heavy eyes had no light at all. Instead, there were cold red eyes, her whole body turned around and saw that her right hand was holding a rusty knife. Vexmore felt a deadly aura emanating from the girl.

"Calm down, I have no bad intentions" - Vexmore

Alexis immediately grabbed the knife and rushed towards Vexmore at a very fast speed, there was no other way, he immediately tried to use force to defend himself, but Alexis threw the knife right at his face.

But instead of stabbing him, the knife hit the thing behind him, Vexmore looked back and saw that monster screaming in pain, blood from the dagger spurting out a lot of red blood like a stream. Vexmore turned his head to look at Alexis, she had been standing close to him for a while. She tilted her head and then fell unconscious, leaving Vexmore wondering what happened.
