Chapter 216 (2): Experts Fight Their Own, Amateurs Fight Others
With Veronica covering his eyes, Wayne couldn’t see anything. Outside the fleshy sphere, a tentacle reached out, the tip transforming into an eyeball.
As expected of a succubus. She was totally his type. So big and so leggy.
Auston ignored the succubus’s temptation, shuffling his deck of cards calmly. “You’re free to keep your mouth shut, and I’m free to make assumptions. I presume that the traitor of the Ministry of Magic is observing from the dark, daring not to show himself before me...”
“Tonight’s meant for testing the water and collecting information!”
“I can give them some information, such as the Lando family’s luck...”
“I don’t know if there is a Goddess of Fortune in the world, but the Landos have always been lucky...” Auston had finished shuffling his cards. “There are fifty-four cards in this deck—ten numeral cards for each of the four suits, representing the earth, fire, water, and wind elements. I’ve sealed elemental magic in the cards according to their power level, with ten being the strongest and one being the weakest...”
“Then there are the twelve court cards, Jacks, Queens, and Kings, as well as two Jokers, one big and one little. Above the elemental magic, they each represent different faiths, making every card incredibly expensive to create.”
Auston drew a card and smiled, showing it to the succubus. “See, I’m lucky.”
The back of the card was the Lando family’s emblem, and the front of the card showed the King of Spades and the drawing of an undead knight riding on a warhorse, representing the Death Knight.
Auston closed his eyes, drawing four elements from the silver coin to inject into the King of Spades, manifesting the knight’s projection.
In the study, the Death Knight appeared on his undead horse with a greatsword in his grip, clad in black armor. White light danced in his skeletal eye sockets, and Death energy fluttered in the form of a cape.
It was vivid, so much so that even Wayne couldn’t find fault in it.
