Elijah selected one of the five cards before him, wondering what kind of rewards the card was going to hold.
As he turned the card around, his expression turned slightly weird.
He could see a joker imprinted on the card who seed to have slipped over a banana peel.
[You have selected one of the three cards of Negativity hidden in the pack]
[Card selected: Clown of Jinx]
[Description: For the next thirty minutes, you will suffer a jinx and will have terrible bad luck. It is advised that you brave for impactful]
[Ti remaining before effects are over 29:42]
"Card of Jinx? What nonsense? Are you ssing with ? What kind of skill is this which gives the owner a disadvantage instead?!" Elijah raged in frustration as he tried to toss away the card, but the card disintegrated into his own hands. The specks of light that ca from the card were absorbed in the body of the young man even though he was unwilling.
Azekiel couldn't see what was in the card or what Elijah was seeing, but he did hear the young man's frustrated words.
'A card which gives him a disadvantage? So this skill is really like gambling, hiding bad cards amidst them too. If I had used the skill, would I be at the sa disadvantage too? He seems to have received the Clown of Jinx, according to his own words. It must have sothing to do with bad luck!"
It was precisely the opportunity that Azekiel was waiting for. Fortunately, the man didn't receive the Scales of Balance.
The ti freeze also stopped now that Elijah had used the Cards of Judgent. Azekiel could finally move.
Elijah's face twitched uncontrollably as he saw the notification before him.
[Warning: You have been affected by a Jinx]
He wanted to use the skill of Azekiel. He wanted to kill the man with his own skill before taking away the two books for himself, but things didn't turn out as planned.
"So what if I didn't get the skills that I wanted?" Elijah rolled his eyes. "I still have my protection, and I know all your skills. You don't have any offensive skills, so you're at a disadvantage!"
"I should be able to kill you easily!" The King of Greed glared at Azekiel with a mocking gaze.
No matter how strong Azekiel was because of soul absorption, he was still weaker than him. Moreover, since he was a new King, he didn't have as many skills. In the absence of Cards of Judgnt, he had nothing!
Moreover, the King of Greed could also see that Azekiel couldn't summon anyone since his soul bar was empty, so he was out of tricks. All he had was his weapon of sin, but so what? Even he had one!
The King of Greed called forth his Weapon of Sin as well, just to be safe.
A pitch-black hamr appeared in the hands of the young man.
"Even the jinx can't stop from killing you since there is no such thing as a jinx!"
Azekiel held both the books in his left hand, which left only his right hand free, but it was all he needed. He didn't waste a single second as he ran to the King of Greed.
The speed of Azekiel was fast, but it wasn't fast enough to fool the King of Greed, who was even quicker than him.
The King of Greed stood calmly, waiting for Azekiel to get close. He kept an eye on each movent of Azekiel.
Just as Azekiel reached closer, the King of Greed smacked the hamr on the ground. The entire floor started trembling as the hamr landed on it. The trembling made even Azekiel lose his balance montarily, which gave the King of Greed an opportunity.
The King of Greed appeared right behind Azekiel, who had to balance himself. He swung his hamr straight to the head of the young man.
"That's for daring to challenge !"
Azekiel turned around swiftly and brought his gauntlets together to block the hamr before kicking the King of Greed back.
The King of Greed was forced a few steps back before he managed to stop himself, only to find Azekiel swinging his claws.
He didn't understand why this man was swinging from a distance. The claws could never reach him from a distance, but he soon realized why as he noticed the dark energy needles shooting toward him.
"Shield of Greed!" The King of Greed called forth a shield which appeared before him to block the needless, but sohow the shield failed.
The needles managed to pass through the shield unobstructed.
The Teleportation of the King of Greed activated once again in tis of danger. He disappeared from where he was standing. As he disappeared, there was a smug look on his face as if he couldn't be hard.
Unfortunately, as he appeared in the next place, his eyes widened. He hadn't appeared on the floor! He appeared mid-air outside the mansion at over thirty feet of height.
The man couldn't fly. His body started falling, which prompted him to take imdiate action.
He tossed his Hamr of Greed on the ground. The Hamr of Greed smacked the Ground outside, which sent a wind blast in every direction. The wind blast managed to slow down the fall of the young man.
The King of Greed dropped on his shoulder. Even though the fall wasn't as bad as it could've been, it was still bad since the young man dislocated his shoulder, unable to land safely.
The King of Greed held his shoulder firmly before jerking it firmly, bringing it back in place.
He picked up the hamr once again. "What just happened? I never appeared mid-air. What bad luck for ti, ah, wait! The jinx? It is affecting my abilities as well?"
The man didn't know if it was because of the Jinx or not, but he couldn't think of any other reason.
He raised his head to look to the floor where he was figuring previously. Unfortunately, bad luck struck once again as sothing white landed on his face.
"Ew!" He hastily wiped his face off the pigeon excrent.
"Arghh!" He was so enraged that he couldn't help but roar in anger. What was happening here?!
He could see that this jinx thing was really getting irritating now. "If you think these small things can stop from getting the books, then you underestimate too much! I've waited two years to get my hands on those books, and I'm not letting you stand in the path of my success!"
He ran to get inside the castle, only to find Azekiel coming out from inside. The only thing different about him was that he didn't have the books in his hands.
