Chapter 22 Evil Demon 8 Fighting God Magic
Clooney's eyes flashed with malice as he stared intently at Chase, who remained calm and composed.
Two dark purple magic circles lit up on his arms hanging at his sides, from which billowing black mist overflowed, enveloping his outstretched palms and condensing into long, black demonic claws.
Under the light of the Holy Light Sword, the demonic claws gleamed with a captivating black light, as if they could tear through steel plates with a single swing!
As the fearsome guild leader of a dark guild, this was the magic he was once proud of.
Similar to Erza's "Knight," both belong to the melee combat type.
However, Erza's weapons are all drawn from another dimension, while Clooney achieves the effect of a "weapon" by highly compressing powerful magic!
"Kid, you're really making me uncomfortable."
Clooney stuck out his tongue and licked his demon claw in a perverse way. "Although you'll still be very useful, before that, I'll let you experience something first..."
"What is the purgatory of torment and despair!"
His face, covered in thick, fleshy muscles, was filled with a brutal expression. He bent his legs and burst forth with incredible speed.
A flash of black light, and the demon's claw drew a vicious arc, lunging at Chase in the blink of an eye!
Clang!
The sound of blades clashing rang out, sending sparks flying.
Clooney's expression changed slightly, and deep within his fierce pupils, the figure of an unfamiliar swordsman was reflected.
The swordsman's eyes were resolute and fearless. He wore steel armor, and a purple cloak fluttered slowly behind him.
Clooney's gaze followed the longsword that was violently rubbing against the demon's claw, then drifted to Chase, who was standing behind the swordsman.
The slightly raised fingertips of his right hand were holding a card that shimmered with light.
"Besides that fire-breathing bone dragon and the lightsaber, his card magic can even summon humanoid swordsmen?!"
Clooney was secretly alarmed as he felt the heavy weight emanating from the longsword in the hand of the mysterious swordsman before him.
When he was still the guild master of the Swamp Abyss, he had fought against many card mages and considered himself to have a good understanding of card mages.
Although those people's magic was varied and unpredictable, their physical abilities were ridiculously weak.
Therefore, he chose to approach Chase at top speed and deliver a fatal blow.
I never expected that the other party would have such a card in their hand!
"It's up to you, Elf Swordsman," Chess revealed the mysterious swordsman's identity.
【The Elf Swordsman Who Tricks the Enemy】: A four-star monster card with superb swordsmanship and combat abilities, and an unyielding will.
The elven swordsman nodded slightly to Chess, then let out a low shout and forcefully pushed forward with both hands gripping the hilt of his sword.
Clooney was thrown back by the strange force, staggering back several meters.
As he regained his footing, the purple cloak above his head billowed, casting a dark shadow.
The elven swordsman flipped his longsword, turning a slash into a chop, and using the momentum of his leap, he brought it down on Clooney's head!
As the guild leader of the Dark Guild with extensive combat experience, Clooney reacted quite quickly, stomping heavily on the deck and swinging his right arm to deflect the longsword with his demon claw.
At the same time, his left arm shot out from a tricky angle, directly slashing at the elven swordsman's abdomen.
puff...
The claws pierced straight through the steel armor, emerging from behind the elven swordsman.
boom!
The severely wounded elven swordsman shattered upon impact, transforming into countless fragments of a hero that danced in the air.
"You're utterly pathetic. If your cards are all this rubbish, you might as well kneel down and beg for mercy."
Clooney sneered, "Making me happy might lessen your suffering!"
Whether it was because he was used to being alone at sea, or because his opponent was a renowned Fairy Tail S-class mage, he desperately wanted to see fear and panic on Chess's face.
Just like those mages who took on commissions before and called themselves righteous guilds, they knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy!
However, all that responded to him was a flash of sword light coming from the side.
Clooney hurriedly raised his claws to defend himself, but was still thrown back by the impact of the longsword and crashed heavily into the cabin of the pirate ship.
In an instant, the wooden planks shattered, the cabin collapsed, and it became a pile of ruins.
"How could that be? Didn't I tear you to pieces?!"
Clooney forcefully ripped off the broken boards that were pressing down on him, his eyes fixed on the elven swordsman who should have disappeared long ago but had reappeared.
The elven swordsman gripped his longsword tightly, his expression indifferent, and remained silent.
His personality is characterized by being taciturn.
"Without showing some real skill, there's no way to break through the elven swordsman's defenses, dear Guild Master Clooney," Chase's voice drifted over.
Theoretically speaking, as long as the duelist doesn't die, the card monsters don't truly perish.
However, this does not mean that he can summon monsters indefinitely. If a monster is "killed" by an enemy in battle, it will fall into a dormant state for a period of time.
For example, the Dark Magician Girl who had previously withstood Ignia's Roar was in a deep sleep for three days and three nights before she was able to awaken.
The same principle applies to spell cards and trap cards.
Of course, this dormant state can be lifted early using cards with resurrection effects, such as [Monster Resurrection] and [Premature Burial].
However, Chase usually treats these special cards as extremely important trump cards and doesn't use them easily.
The reason the Elf Swordsman was able to reappear is naturally because of his inherent monster effect:
It will not be destroyed by an enemy stronger than itself!
Clooney looked over upon hearing the sound and was immediately enraged, his eyes blazing with fury.
Chase was sitting comfortably in his leather chair, his legs crossed.
He was even holding a cup of black tea that he had somehow gotten his hands on!
No matter what, he was the guild master of a dark guild and a pirate captain who dominated a region. When had he ever been treated with such contempt?!
His anger erupted instantly.
Ignoring Clooney's murderous glare, Chase took a sip of his tea and added, "For example, magic that can unleash intense heat or something."
"Do you think I would believe such obviously ridiculous nonsense?" Clooney's face was terribly grim.
Based on his reaction and the series of battles just now, Chase judged that this guy probably didn't know fire magic.
That old fox Marshall, he even has to dig up this little bit of information?
If the probability that the previous client, Marshall, was the mastermind was 99%, then now it's 100%!
As they pondered, a violent gale suddenly arose on the pirate ship.
Unwilling to believe in evil, Clooney unleashed his magic, extending his demonic claws in a fierce close-quarters battle with the elven swordsman.
Although there are differences between S-class mages, Clooney is still a top-tier mage, far beyond the reach of ordinary mages.
A four-star Elf Swordsman doesn't have a high potential; they'll be torn apart in just a few rounds.
Then, having gained immunity to destruction, he quickly returned to the fray and continued the battle.
This rather shameless style of play made Clooney grit his teeth in frustration.
After several battles, they still couldn't find an opportunity to assassinate Chase, the card holder.
Seeing that he would eventually die from exhaustion if this dragged on, he tore the elven swordsman apart with a single claw attack and then ceased his assault.
Instead, he jumped back, creating distance between himself and the elven swordsman who had been resurrected yet again.
"Heh, as expected of Fairy Tail, they're really troublesome."
Black mist billowed as Clooney deliberately dispelled the Demon Claw spell covering his arms and placed his hand on the skull necklace around his neck.
"Kid, you're pretty good. Out of all these clients, you're the first to let me fully unleash this magic."
"But that's where you end up..."
Click!
The skull was crushed by force, and an ancient magical power, completely different from before, suddenly erupted, exuding a heavy and cold aura!
