Chapter 252 The Cold and Aloof Older Sister, the Silent Magician!
The next day, after greeting Ed Acnologia on the floating island atop Fez, Chess did not linger and embarked on his journey back to the Southern Continent Kingdom.
Edchez's squad was among them.
Having been away from the guild for two and a half years, they genuinely missed their comrades and family, and besides, there was no point in staying here at this stage.
We need to discuss this major issue of the Apostles of God's invasion from another world with the people there.
Recalling the boredom of the long journey, Chase did not add the Edchase Squad to his cards, but instead boarded a regular sea magic vessel with everyone else.
It was a vehicle modified by Edches to cross the ocean. Its overall appearance was streamlined, somewhat like the magic boat of the council, but not as large, and it used magic crystals as its energy source, which was not very efficient.
Therefore, although it has the ability to fly, in order to avoid excessive consumption of magic power, the magic boat also has a mast and sails to use the wind.
The surging seawater continuously washed over the hull of the ships, splashing up sprays of water.
On the deck, Chase sat with the dark magic girl who had come out for a stroll and Edchase's team, chatting about interesting things that happened in their respective guilds, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.
The same name and the same person, but with completely different personalities—this kind of topic is always interesting to talk about.
Of course, it was mainly the curious Edches team asking questions, wanting to know more about their otherworldly companions, or rather, to use for teasing and jokes after their reunion.
Edfried was the most enthusiastic, constantly asking the Dark Magician Girl about Laxus. Only after learning that Laxus had actually started a civil war over the pointless title of strongest, and had been beaten black and blue by Chase, did he turn around with satisfaction, laughing and mocking Edfried beside him.
They had their fill of questions, while Chess, who already knew the state of Edolas' Fairy Tail, was becoming increasingly bored.
That's not even worth it; you might as well just travel on your own!
Finally, when the magic ship had traveled about a third of the way, he decisively spoke up, interrupting the incessant chatter of Edches's squad.
"Since we're just killing time anyway, how about you guys play some cards?" Chase turned his gaze to Ed Chase, who looked just like him.
Since he was a shut-in who spent all his time playing video games before he transmigrated, he should have had a great talent for playing cards.
Esland's companions are either reckless brutes like Naz Elfman who attack without even looking at trap cards, or...
Either Lucy is a player who relies purely on luck, or Cana, who is an expert in cards, is even more speechless, actually pulling out her own cards to do a divination right in front of everyone!
Therefore, Chase hasn't had a decent card battle yet—being invincible must be so lonely.
And the Edches in front of me might just be able to give me a thrilling battle!
"Card battles? That sounds interesting."
"Hey Chase over there, tell me, what are the specific rules?"
Having witnessed Chess's card magic firsthand, Edches and the others immediately became interested.
Just like in the previous Fairy Tail civil war, Chess took out a card and brought out the dueling rules stored inside, as well as the Wind Chant's glasses that could quickly access information.
Soon, Edchas and the others understood the rules and voluntarily gave up enough space.
As a demonstration, Chase and Edchase put on their Duel Disks (small holographic projection devices) and began their card duel.
Chase naturally used Yugi Muto's deck, while Ed Chase chose the deck of Yusei Fudo, the protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds.
The reason is that Stardust Dragon is just too handsome, completely exceeding his aesthetic standards!
As the 4000LP panels appeared on both sides, a thrilling card battle began amidst the cheers of their fans, Black Magician Girl and Edragas.
Just as Chase had predicted, despite it being his first time playing card duels, Ed Chase displayed exceptional gaming talent. After only a few rounds, he grasped the immense fun of the game, perfectly embracing the identity of a duelist and becoming increasingly "Soulful".
In the end, they even pushed Chase to the brink of despair, reducing his health to a mere two hundred points, like a candle flickering in the wind!
Unfortunately, he was one step behind, and Chase turned the tide of the battle with the Destroyer Dragon, successfully reducing Edchase's health to zero.
"Hahaha! As expected of your idiot master, well done!" The dark magic girl raised her head and puffed out her chest, proudly giving a thumbs up with one hand on her hip.
"How, how could this be? Senior actually lost—" Edragas knelt down, his faith crumbling.
Ed Gildarts and the others, who were immersed in the game, were thrilled. They never expected that the card game that Chase had mentioned as a way to kill time could be so exciting!
"Damn it!!!" Edchez roared to the sky, his cards scattered all over the ground, his sweat-drenched face filled with resentment.
"One more round, and I'm sure I can pull off an even more perfect chain!" He clenched his fist, his eyes gleaming with an intense competitive spirit.
"Haha, to unleash the full power of that deck, you first need to comprehend the Mind of Still Water and Clear Mind."
Chess said with a smile.
Even so, he was far from calm at that moment.
Edches's card duel spirit was secondary, since he had the same face as someone else. What surprised him even more was that this card duel actually resulted in a card explosion!
That's right, it's a new card!
Although Chase couldn't understand the principle behind it, the monster card called "Silent Magician" floating deep in his consciousness forced him to believe in this situation that had never occurred before.
Could it be that the only way to obtain the new cards is through intense and exciting battles?
This discovery left Chase somewhat puzzled, since the Duelist's Soul cheat didn't have any system panel or information prompts, making it impossible to know the specific reason.
However, recalling the card game with Edches earlier, I did feel a high level of concentration and tension. As a pioneer in card game, it would be too embarrassing to be defeated by a newcomer!
Putting aside strength, just in terms of card battles, the pressure brought by Edches is strong enough, no less than the hand-to-hand fight with Acnologia from another world!
When he first transmigrated, Chase did try to study his built-in cheat, or rather, magic, and even consulted a knowledgeable dark mage, but he gained nothing from anything other than combat.
Now, it seems that the possibilities for this thing are even richer than I imagined?
Of course, it's also possible that Edchas, this otherworldly counterpart, is special, or that he was influenced by Edolas's environment, among other reasons.
In conclusion, this is a very valuable and unexpected discovery!
"No problem, I accept your challenge. Let's have another round!" Chase put his Duel Disk back on.
Edchez, full of fighting spirit, quickly picked up the cards scattered on the ground.
"Hey, don't just think about your own fun, it's time we had some fun too!"
Edfried reached out to snatch the dueling disk from his arm.
Although Eddildars and the others weren't as direct and brutal, the fervent gleam in their eyes betrayed their eagerness to have a go.
Edchez, eager to avenge his previous defeat, was unwilling to give up and immediately began to fight with Edfried for it.
"You two idiots, it's not like you need that device to play cards."
The dark magician girl chuckled, then stepped forward, patting her chest and saying, "By the way, my card skills are even better than my idiot master's!"
Upon hearing this, Edchez and Edfried, who were usually very respectful to each other, immediately calmed down.
Realizing they had been a bit rude, they became humble again, scratching their heads and smiling as they offered to give the duel disk to their opponent.
"Then let's quickly find an opponent and have a final battle until dark!" Chase was eager to study the newly discovered card-bursting mechanism, so he was too lazy to argue with these two.
And so, the group split into pairs, each choosing their preferred deck and taking turns engaging in card battles.
The magic ship cut through the wind on the turbulent sea, with cheers of victors and lamentations of the defeated echoing from the deck from time to time.
To Chase's dismay, although the new "duel" with Edchase was exciting, no new cards were revealed. This is somewhat similar to the card-revealing mechanism in battles: a player can only reveal one card at a time.
Even switching opponents wouldn't help—Edraghath and the others couldn't exert much pressure on him.
After several rounds of card games, Chess quickly lost interest and sat in a corner to silently analyze the new card-bursting mechanism, while using his own magic to accelerate the magic-like speed.
Having no clue what to do, he lowered his consciousness into the card space, intending to consult the Dark Mage and also greet the newly joined Silent Magician.
Perhaps it's because Chase's magic power is strong enough now. The Silent Magician is an eight-star LV8 adult form with white hair and a white robe. His temperament and appearance are impeccable. He's the kind of person who would become an instant sensation if he were put on the cover of a magic weekly!
Unfortunately, true to her name, unlike the hot-tempered and warlike destructive dragon Gandora, the Silent Magician is a cold and aloof older sister who doesn't like to talk.
However, his strength and ability to create magic are truly formidable.
With an attack power panel of up to 3500 points, it is even higher than the Chaos Swordsman and Chaos Dark Magician, who are also eight-star!
"I see. May I come with you?"
After learning about Chase's purpose in appearing in the card space, the Silent Magician showed no hesitation and expressed his desire to join the discussion.
As a newcomer, she wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about magic and her "master," Chess.
"Looks like another fanatical follower of the demonic path," Chess thought to himself before agreeing without hesitation, "Of course, no problem!"
After all, we'll be fighting side by side from now on, so there's nothing to hide.
