Chapter 324: It’s just a small guild with only a few people
"Yee-yeah!" shouted Scorpio as he burst onto the scene, his signature, beat-dropping intro loud and proud like a magic-powered DJ.
"A Celestial Spirit Mage?!" one of the traffickers exclaimed, clearly startled. Despite their criminal path, even they knew what a Celestial Spirit was, and how dangerous they could be in battle.
But what made them nervous wasn't just the presence of a Star Spirit. It was the fact that their supposed ally, the Black Bear, was now standing guard in front of the cloaked summoner, clearly not on their side anymore.
"We've come this far. Don't worry about the Spirit, just take down the summoner!" one of them yelled in desperation.
Wishful thinking.
The Black Bear didn't even flinch. Instead, Scorpio raised his massive scorpion tail and unleashed a violent sandstorm. A roaring tornado of sand erupted across the clearing, battering all four traffickers with force strong enough to send them flying through the trees.
None of them got back up.
And just as quickly as it started, the towering beast vanished, replaced by two identical, round-faced blue figures.
"Beep, beep, mission complete!" they chorused in sync.
It was Gemini, Gemi and Mini, the twin Celestial Spirits of duality and mimicry.
Rhodes, still concealed and observing from a distance, spotted the golden Celestial Key in the cloaked summoner's hand. His eyes narrowed in surprise. Not only had she summoned Scorpio, whose sand magic was leagues stronger than Lucy's Taurus or Cancer, but she also had Gemini. That meant she held at least two Zodiac Keys.
