Chapter 143: Capturing the Wind Card
Escorted by the ninja soldiers, Caelus, wearing the Tara Mask, rapidly moved towards the Wind Card's
location, utilizing the Shadow Kingdom and the Shadow of All Things.
Donning the Trailblazer's iconic black and gold coat, Caelus secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Good thing this bug happened after the whole thing was over. If it had triggered just an hour earlier...
What the Dodo would've had to face wouldn't have been as simple as just overflowing. That level of nerve-wracking intensity
nearly caused even Caelus, whose sensory threshold had been heightened manifold, to momentarily lose his composure.
If it had been any other girl, their brains probably wouldn't have had any room to think; seeing the elastic, growing, thickening, and thinning
Imperial Weapon, Dodo's worldview might have simply shattered.
That's a minor matter. The main thing is, Midnight Absinthe's and Caelus's personas would take a hit.
So, even though it's quite deviant, the Rubber-Rubber Fruit must be used in moderation!
Caelus inexplicably thought of an anime, The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You. There was a promotional image where
the male lead's legs twisted and coiled like snakes, extending bizarrely to give knee pillows to 100 beautiful girls simultaneously.
Caelus, using the Rubber-Rubber Fruit, could achieve this. However, his thoughts were even more unconventional; he was wondering if he could manage
'one gun, two uses.'
He had several operational ideas that would make a sadomasochist ecstatic, but with Mr. Morality desperately resisting, Caelus still chose not to completely
abandon his humanity.
Outside Belobog City, somewhere far from human habitation, lay a Fragmentum space that had slightly shrunk due to Cocolia absorbing energy.
Snowflakes drifted through the air; there was no sign of any living creature. Crystal-butterfly-like Fragmentum creatures fluttered their wings, wandering among the few visible presences in this space.
"The Shadow Kingdom, how convenient."
The shadows of the buildings seemed to writhe like living things as the figure of the grey-haired young man slowly emerged from them. Caelus looked up
towards the icy white sky.
A pale golden-green wind was freely soaring in the air. Facing the ill-intentioned Bat Wing Corps ninja soldiers who had surrounded it,
the wind swirled and circled, spreading countless sharp wind blades.
"As expected of one of the Four Elemental Cards."
Caelus's eyebrows twitched, feeling the power of those green wind blades.
Wind, Water, Fire, Earth – the Four Greater Elements are considered quite powerful among all 53 Clow Cards. It's one of
First Grand Guardian 'Moe King' Sakura's most favorite cards to use, a true workhorse.
If it were a 1v1 duel, it would actually be quite difficult for Caelus to deal with the Wind Card, after all, he couldn't fly.
However.
"Come forth! My soldiers!"
Twilight was falling. The high-hanging moon emitted its pure light, yet it couldn't resist the dark curtain of night
that enveloped the silent world.
From the dark shadows, hundreds of Flying Shadow Ninja Soldiers emerged.
"Go!"
Caelus waved his hand, and the densely packed Bat Wing Corps surged into the sky, one after another, like black arrows shooting towards the pale
green wind current.
"Come on, let's have a 1v1!"
Caelus smiled as he stepped onto the back of a Flying Shadow Soldier, flying high into the sky and provocatively waving at [Wind].
The Bat Wing Corps intertwined and crisscrossed, their elongated V-shaped eyes emitting a scarlet glow, as they surged fearlessly towards [Wind].
Even if their comrades beside them were sliced in half by wind blades, they wouldn't even turn their heads to look.
"Bat Wing Corps, use Hyper Beam!"
Caelus snapped his fingers, like a Pokémon trainer giving a command.
The Bat Wing Corps is the aerial unit of the Shadowkhan. They not only possess extremely high speed and excel in aerial combat,
but are also excellent in both close-range and long-range attacks.
They can also fire beams from their palms to attack, with enough power to turn large boulders into dust.
Upon receiving the order, the Flying Shadow Soldiers at the very front uniformly raised their beast-like palms and aimed at the pale green wind current.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
One after another, blue energy rays shot out, targeting the swirling wind current in the air.
The swirling speed of the wind current suddenly intensified, forming a pale green tornado to counter the rays pouring in from all directions.
As more and more Flying Shadow Soldiers fired their beams, the pale green tornado, in its defensive stance, began to be gradually compressed.
"Use Bind."
Caelus took out his yo-yo, rapidly accumulating energy as he threw it down and reeled it back.
The Flying Shadow Soldiers positioned slightly behind flapped their wings to gain altitude, then pushed their palms forward, unleashing another volley of light waves.
The blue light waves, infused with shadow energy, transformed into light ropes, binding the wind current like ropes thrown onto a prey.
One light rope might be insignificant to [Wind] – it could easily break free. But being hit and restrained by a hundred light ropes,
even a Greater Elemental Card would be temporarily immobilized.
"Now this is what you call a micro-management master, huh?"
Summoning a certain number of Shadowkhan for micromanagement is one way to maximize combat power, provided the opponent doesn't
too greatly exceed the Shadowkhan's scale.
"Now then, return to your original form, Clow Card."
From top to bottom, Caelus exerted his core strength to the maximum, violently throwing the fully charged yo-yo.
Like a silver-white meteor streaking across, the yo-yo string, crackling with electricity, raced forth, its body piercing through the pale green
wind current restrained by the light ropes like an arrow.
With a sound like a bursting bubble, the wind current transformed into countless streams of magic, gathering before Caelus, and coalescing into a card
depicting a voluptuous older sister figure.
At the bottom of the card, an invisible pen seemed to make a mark, with Caelus's name appearing on it.
Having one's name on it means it recognizes you as its master, and after that, others cannot use it.
However, considering the situation with the Tara Mask, Stelle might also be able to borrow it to some extent.
"By the way, I remember most Clow Cards were very attractive," Caelus mused. "That Clow Reed guy must have been a total looks fanatic."
Caelus admired the illustration of the older sister figure on the card; Wind Sister could also be considered one of his childhood goddesses.
"In comparison, the Shadowkhan… well, their aesthetic doesn't quite match mine."
Caelus surveyed the Bat Wing Corps bowing to him on the ground, then waved his hand with a hint of disdain. All the Flying Shadow Soldiers immediately descended
to the ground and merged into the shadows.
After having the Flying Shadow Soldier carrying him fly high into the sky, Caelus swept his palm across his face, and the Tara Mask disappeared.
The Flying Shadow Soldier then transformed into a shadow. The second before the shadow shattered, Caelus pushed off forcefully, soaring upward like a roc spreading
its wings.
"Wind!"
Caelus injected energy into the card and softly called out.
Golden light and pale green currents surged from the Clow Card, intertwining and coiling in the air. They coalesced into a long-haired beauty
wearing a moss-green crown, with elf-like long ears and a gentle, serene demeanor.
After the graceful and elegant beauty appeared, she smiled faintly, then embraced Caelus's body from behind, holding him as they flew freely through the sky.
"Woohoo~!"
His fringe fluttered wildly in the wind as they flew. Caelus spread his arms, feeling the gentleness of Wind Sister behind him, and the exhilaration
of soaring through the sky.
Damn it, he couldn't even achieve free flight while piloting the Super Energy Warrior before, thanks to that annoying Earth attribute!
The Wind Card could naturally fly; it was Sakura's most frequently used transportation card. The Fly Card, which made her staff grow white feathered wings, was merely
a lower-ranked card of the Wind Card.
As they looked down at Belobog from high in the boundless expanse of night, the lights were gradually fading.
Without entertainment like the internet or mobile phones, the people of Belobog extinguished their lights early, engaging in another form of entertainment
no less engaging than online activities, contributing to Belobog's future population.
Only the administrative district was still brightly lit.
Under the cover of night, Caelus didn't need to worry about being seen. Even if he was spotted by residents, it wouldn't matter — what's wrong
with a hero flying?
Caelus flew directly back into the villa estate. As expected, he encountered the Stellaron Spirit, who had been squatting, blocking the entrance for a long time.
"Caelus!"
Stelle's face wore an unsettlingly sweet smile, and the flaming spear in her hand blazed fiercely. "Now, choose!"
"Do you want this flaming spear? Or my flaming spear?"
March 7th, attracted by the commotion, happened to hear this. She looked at Stelle with a strange gaze. *Besides this flaming spear, what other flaming spear
do you have?*
Stelle paused under March 7th's gaze, then lightly coughed twice and rephrased, her golden eyes piercing Caelus with extreme sharpness: "Do you want
this flaming spear? Or do you want me to crush your flaming spear?"
God knows how she recovered from that state.
Nearly 30 centimeters in length, with a smaller front end and a larger back end, expanding to fill the entire space, she had almost died from that sensation.
More importantly, he was being intimate with his 'wife' and didn't include her!
"If you remain silent, this judge will assume you've waived your right to rebuttal, and proceed directly to judgment!"
Amidst March 7th's horrified expression, Stelle pointed the tip of her flaming spear at Caelus's crotch.
"Uh, care to guess what I went to do instead of eating dinner?"
Sensing the Stellaron Spirit's intimidating aura, Caelus knew it wouldn't be so easy to bluster his way out this time.
"What did you go do?"
March 7th blinked. She and Stelle had looked for Caelus for ages during dinner earlier but couldn't find him; messages sent via phone were also unread.
"A'Qi, don't listen to Caelus try to change the subject! If you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about sleeping!"
Stelle declared solemnly.
"I'm not changing the subject; I found something good."
"Something good?" The pink-haired Samoyed immediately leaned in curiously.
Stelle's willow brows twitched upon hearing this. Could this bastard have found a valuable treasure chest?
In that case, he deserves even more severe interrogation!
Just as Stelle was about to move to suppress Caelus, she saw him pull a grey-gold card from his pants pocket, with a beautiful illustration printed on it.
"What is this?"
March 7th was full of interest; she was already used to Stelle and Caelus pulling out fun things and suddenly acquiring magical abilities.
"This is a Clow Card."
"A Clow Card?" March 7th tilted her head in confusion. She hadn't heard of it.
"Hey!" Stelle's flaming spear paused. "Such a familiar name."
The next second, relevant information surfaced in her subconscious.
"It's the Wind Card. Want to experience the feeling of flying freely in the sky without relying on a flying device?"
Among the Trailblazing Squad, only Dan Heng in his Dragon Lord form and Welt could fly on their own.
Caelus snapped his fingers, and the gentle and elegant Wind Sister again emerged from the card.
Stelle's eyes immediately lit up. "Being carried and flown by Wind Sister?"
Talk about this, and she wasn't sleepy anymore!
Putting away her flaming spear, Stelle immediately went to snatch the Clow Card from Caelus's hand. "I want to play!"
"Here you go."
Caelus generously gave the Wind Card to the Stellaron Spirit.
In no time, Wind Sister was holding Stelle, flying freely in the sky. The grey-haired girl, having the time of her life, completely cast the afternoon's
events from her mind.
March 7th couldn't use the Wind Card, but Stelle and Caelus could operate it to carry her.
