Chapter 67: The Unreliable Acoley
“Appearing when I’m in danger… like that night?” Acoley stood in the dim alley, muttering to herself.
She recalled the events of that night.
Lying in a decayed tree hollow, at her most desperate mont, he appeared by her side like an angel, offering warmth and healing.
He dispelled all her fears, giving her hope for life – hope in the midst of despair.
Like a lifeline.
One she clung to desperately, unwilling to let go.
Especially when Acoley heard Luo Sheng say that because she had been bullied and nearly lost her life, he would spare no effort to torture those savage nobles. For the first ti, Acoley felt a sense of reliance and belonging.
“What a strange brother, not willing to talk to
for long. I don’t even know how to thank you…”
Acoley talked to herself.
Recalling the past, tears flowed unstoppably down her delicate face, impossible to wipe clean.
Acoley carefully put away the magic scroll, gently caressing the Fla Magic Gun, then tucked it into the black stockings on her right leg.
She continued to engage in battle.
Whether blessed by the goddess of fortune or not,
Acoley’s fighting beca increasingly fierce. Especially with the help of the Fla Magic Gun, when encountering close-combat magical beasts, she would pull out the fire gun and let loose a barrage of shots.
Dispatching opponents at the fastest speed.
Soon, the crisis in Diwatu City was resolved. Acoley had wounded over a dozen magical beasts and received comndations from the academy.
More magical material assistance, better weapons allocation, and superior magic scrolls were provided.
Acoley seed quite indifferent, as she only cared about the things Luo Sheng gave her, which seed to be invaluable treasures.
Luo Sheng hadn’t left imdiately.
From the ti she battled the magical beasts, Luo Sheng had been secretly following her nearby, deeply afraid of her suffering any mishap, very much like an old father fearing his daughter might be wronged.
After the beast tide ended, Luo Sheng returned to the dilapidated house he had rented cheaply.
“If I taught her hands-on, she’d probably take off imdiately, but unfortunately, I can’t.” Luo Sheng pondered by the window.
With his current Card Master abilities,
As long as he analyzed the magic scrolls or other cultivation materials, he could quickly find the most concise cultivation thods and insights.
However, now wasn’t the right ti to make contact.
After all, he had always appeared in the image of a master before.
If Acoley suddenly discovered that he actually relied on cards, his grand image in her heart might collapse.
“Nevermind, as long as she can grow, any thod will do.”
As the card characters beca stronger, the Card Master would also beco more powerful. What Luo Sheng needed to do now was to quickly improve himself.
In the following days, Luo Sheng continued to secretly urge her to practice.
The longer one stayed in the card world, the greater the improvent of the cards.
Fortunately, Acoley’s growth exceeded his expectations. It took her 5 days to learn Bouncing Bomb, and every ti she went out on a mission, she would carry 10 Bouncing Bombs.
If she encountered a group of monsters, throwing one bomb would basically blow them sky-high. She also liked this kind of move.
If enemies got close, she would fire a burst from her gun.
This feeling was good.
……
One day.
“I heard that a Forest Giant Lizard appeared near Hiller Village, seemingly chased down from its lair by a giant dragon,” a academy magician said casually during a chat.
Passing by, Acoley furrowed her delicate brows and hurriedly stopped him to ask, “How’s the situation? Has the academy sent anyone to eliminate it?”
The magician shook his head: “It’s too powerful, no one is willing to take on this task. But I predict that in a few days, Hiller Village will be wiped off the map.”
So Acoley imdiately set out to execute this mission.
This Forest Giant Lizard specialized in spewing toxins and destroying large numbers of villages, causing major casualties. It was a priority target for elimination by the academy.
However, due to the high danger factor, no one dared to go. Only Acoley resolutely accepted the dangerous mission.
In the European-style garden village of Hiller, 50 kiloters away from Diwatu City.
She found the Forest Giant Lizard and imdiately engaged in a fierce battle with it.
The Forest Giant Lizard was almost as large as four elephants combined. When it walked, the ground would shake, leaving compacted footprints, but Acoley remained fearless.
First, she used Everything to Fire to create nurous fire barriers, firmly locking the opponent in place. Then, through Fire Ball Mastery and Ignite, she caused the opponent’s body to burn continuously.
Additionally, using Explosion Art, she detonated compressed fireballs around it, occasionally throwing in a few Bouncing Bombs.
“Roar!!!”
The raging flas continuously scorched its rough skin, and the Forest Giant Lizard roared in pain.
The sll of burning could be detected throughout the village.
Originally, this battle seed to have no suspense, but an unexpected change occurred. The Forest Giant Lizard actually burrowed into the ground, using sand and stones to alleviate the burns on its skin.
It then spewed out a large amount of toxins and corrosive liquid.
A whole forest was corroded, the liquid completely eroded everything, directly carbonizing it.
Luckily, Acoley dodged quickly, avoiding fatal damage, but toxic liquid splashes still contaminated her snow-white skin, instantly burning grayish-yellow spots. Her stockings were also corroded and torn, exposing large patches of white skin.
She could only continue attacking with bombs.
Little did she know, the Forest Giant Lizard suddenly underwent a mutation. Its green outer skin began to fall off, revealing layer upon layer of dark green scales.
“Dragonification?!” Acoley exclaid in surprise.
Presumably, the Forest Giant Lizard had used so thod, or with the help of the giant dragon, to undergo a transformation.
Soon, Acoley found that her fire magic attacks had very little effect, and even explosions were similarly ineffective.
Luo Sheng, hidden under a giant tree.
Also frowned, “This girl, why provoke trouble when she shouldn’t? Why provoke this monster? Isn’t she just increasing my workload?”
Luo Sheng complained.
He could sense that this Forest Giant Lizard’s strength had suddenly skyrocketed, reaching the level of Silver 1 or 2 star in just a mont.
Acoley’s current strength was only around Bronze 8 or 9 star.
Obviously, their strengths were mismatched.
At this mont, the mutated Forest Giant Lizard suddenly let out a roar, its massive tail suddenly swinging towards Acoley.
If Acoley were to be hit by this force of thousands of kilograms, she would be crippled if not killed.
In this critical mont.
Luo Sheng appeared in front of her, 【Thousand Gates Shield】【III Steel cha】 lit up simultaneously.
A huge tal fortress appeared, colliding with the Forest Giant Lizard’s massive tail.
Clang——!
The sound of the collision echoed throughout the entire forest.
The Forest Giant Lizard couldn’t break through the 【Thousand Gates Shield】, after all, this was a transcendent quality card.
The Forest Giant Lizard was very angry, but Luo Sheng was even angrier. If the card girl were to perish, all his cultivation efforts would go to waste.
He then released 【Raging Blizzard】, huge ice sculptures freezing its four limbs.
Greatly slowing its movents.
Two snow girls directly erged from the blizzard, fiercely beating the Forest Giant Lizard.
Luo Sheng then cast another seven-star 【Holy Light Technique】 card on Acoley.
Bathed in the holy light, Acoley felt a warmth throughout her body, just like that night.
The gray and damaged skin quickly recovered, becoming smooth and flawless. All her injuries were likewise healed.
“Go for it, it’s your prey,” Luo Sheng said to her.
“Thank you,” Acoley nodded.
She quickly deployed Fire Ball Mastery and Explosion Art. A huge fireball hovered above her magic wand, then hurtled towards the Forest Giant Lizard.
“Roar!!!”
The Forest Giant Lizard roared both in anger and in agony.
It was frozen stiff by Luo Sheng’s 【Raging Blizzard】, then instantly scorched by Acoley’s high-temperature fireballs.
Under the fusion of extre cold and heat, even if the scales on its body were extrely hard, they couldn’t withstand the sudden thermal expansion and contraction.
The scales shattered one after another, exposing thick flesh, which was finally roasted into charcoal-grilled giant lizard.
Acoley claid the final victory!
