Mythic Card Master: Start with a Knight

"Ana, you get out of here first."

Chu Ming spoke calmly without looking back.

"Teacher... I see."

Ana grabbed his chest and climbed up from the ground. He glanced in the direction of Chu Ming, gritted his teeth, and ran out of the alley.

"Want to run?"

The strong golden-scaled monster sneered at the corner of his mouth, stamped his feet on the wall, ignored Chu Ming and chased after Ana.

"Little lizard, where do you want to go?"

Suddenly, Chu Ming's words rang clearly in the monster's ears, and he felt a frantic warning in his heart, subconsciously turning his head away.

"Boom!"

The golden-scaled monster caught in Chu Ming's hand flashed with lightning, and was thrown out as a weapon, smashing through the entire wall in one fell swoop.

Although the strong golden-scaled monster luckily escaped the blow, his steps were also hindered and he jumped down from the wall.

"Rain Brick."

He looked down at his accomplices who had turned into charcoal on the ground, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Boy, you are courting death."

After saying that, he made claws with his fingers, and his body exploded directly towards Chu Ming like a cannonball.

"Little Lizard, I think you don't seem to understand the current situation."

"what?!"

With a flash of lightning, Chu Ming's figure suddenly disappeared from the man's field of vision.

The man panicked, and before he could take a defensive stance, severe pain came from his neck. Chu Ming grabbed his neck and broke the entire cervical vertebrae.

"Cough cough..."

The monster shook his head and looked at the man in front of him in horror.

The speed is too fast, and his attack trajectory cannot be seen at all. Is this guy really the first to enter the three-star epic level as mentioned in the intelligence...

"Are you scared?" Chu Ming smiled slightly.

After saying that, his eyes were dyed golden, and the violent thunder was vented, and white and purple instantly occupied the monster's pupils.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Screams rang out from the thunder, the scales on the monster's body exploded, and the smell of burning wafted into Chu Ming's nose.

A few seconds later, the lightning in Chu Ming's hand dissipated, revealing a motionless figure whose hands had turned into charcoal.

He said in a cold tone: "Pretending to be dead?"

The cold eyes once again glowed with the power of purple electricity, and arcs of electricity flashed around them.

Seeing that the thunder was about to strike again, the monster in Chu Ming's hand suddenly opened its eyes, its body muscles squirmed, and the coke peeled off, revealing golden scales.

"Sir, forgive me."

The desire to survive surged into his heart, and the monster whispered for mercy.

Chu Ming asked calmly: "What is your identity?"

The monster's eyes trembled and he quickly replied: "The puppet master who was invited to the capital of puppets."

A cold look flashed in Chu Ming's eyes, and he pinched it suddenly with his palm, causing the monster's cervical vertebra to make an unpleasant "creak" sound.

"I'm asking about your identity in this plan and what exactly you want to do!"

"I...I can't say..."

The monster suppressed his blush and showed a desperate expression. He had already anticipated his ending.

Chu Ming sighed slightly. He couldn't reveal the secret even in the face of death. It seemed that he couldn't get any information from this monster.

"Sir...sir, please give me a pleasure."

With a cold expression, Chu Ming threw the golden-scaled monster to the ground and stepped on his chest.

"Oh!"

"Cough cough..."

All the ribs were broken, and the monster was vomiting blood crazily.

Decay and sink.

After the spell was released, gray corruption surged out from the gaps in the floor tiles, gradually submerging the monsters.

The monster smelled the lingering rotten stench at the tip of its nose, felt that its body's vitality was gradually dissipating, and its eyes gradually became blurred.

The spell Decay and Sinking can effectively reduce the physical activity of the enemy. Especially after Chu Ming arrived at Epic, this spell became even more terrifying. He specially prepared it for these golden-scaled monsters whose bodies were restored to the point of immortality.

He pulled out the sword from his waist and raised his hands high, trying to induce Thunder to complete the final punishment.

Suddenly, a faint male voice came from the direction of the doll house.

"Ren, let him go."

Chu Ming paused for a moment, then thunder exploded. He ignored the man's words and swung his sword downwards.

"Boom!!"

The Razer raged wildly, slapping against the walls and floor tiles, leaving deep or shallow, scorched black marks.

The long sword penetrated the monster's body and inserted into the soil. The monster's eyes widened and its mouth opened. Thunder and lightning were released from his five orifices, illuminating everything.

"Oh!"

The wall could no longer withstand the power of the thunder and collapsed.

A few seconds later, Chu Ming pulled out his long sword. The lightning gradually dissipated, and the monster's body under his feet turned into ashes.

He turned his head and looked at the mysterious man in black robes whose face could not be seen clearly in front of the golem house.

The aura of the mysterious man was extremely deep, like a black hole that attracted Chu Ming's eyes. He sensed the terrifying legendary pressure on the man.

"Should I call you the Evil Dragon Familiar or the Tenth Master Victor?"

Chu Ming stared closely at the man hidden in the darkness, waiting for his answer.

"Anything is fine."

The man's tone was calm, and there was no hint of happiness or sadness.

"As a senior, I advise you not to get involved. People will die."

After speaking, he slowly raised his right hand towards Chu Ming.

"Mr. Lane, be careful!"

The two griffin knights who had just arrived suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Victor.

"Boom!"

The invisible barrier stopped their actions for a moment, but at that moment, Victor's fingertips flashed with lightning, and a white light shot toward Chu Ming at lightning speed.

"Oh!"

Chu Ming's arm was broken in two, blood spilled on the ground, seeped into the gaps between the stone bricks, and weeds grew out of it.

"I'll give you a little punishment. I hope you will remember my words."

After the words fell, the man gradually disappeared like flying ashes and left the alley.

"Mr. Lane, how are you feeling?!"

The griffon knight hurried over, picked up Chu Ming's broken arm and handed it to him.

"Thank you."

Chu Ming pressed the broken arm to the wound, green light surged, and the flesh and blood connected together. In just a few seconds, the entire arm returned to its original state.

"Teacher...teacher...are you okay?"

Ana ran in from the street panting.

The griffon knight on the side agreed: "If this kid hadn't shouted for help on the street, we might have reacted later."

"I hope you're fine." Chu Ming thanked the two gryphon knights and watched them enter the golem house to search.

Ana ran to Chu Ming, lowered his head and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, teacher, I couldn't help at all."

"He even ran away from the battlefield."

Chu Ming turned around, smiled and patted the boy's shoulder.

"You have done well. You can do what you do with your strength. If you feel guilty, then continue to practice hard."

"One day, you will be able to be the arm that others can rely on."

"Well! Thank you, teacher."

Ana raised his head and nodded vigorously.

A few minutes later, the patrolling knights blocked the entire alley. Chu Ming and Ana entered the puppet house and explored the entire house.

Chu Ming mentally swept over and pulled up a broken demon doll buried in the ruins.

He could sense that there was a special aura on this demon doll, which was very similar to the divine power of life, but different at the same time.

"Is this the breath of recovery?"

After dismantling the demon puppet, Chu Ming took out a broken crystal stone from the demon puppet. Before the demon puppet was paralyzed, it seemed to be loaded on the magic core.

Ana searched the whole house before he found two broken crystal stones with the same aura. He squatted on the ground and sighed: "The clue to the divine fire has been broken again. Did those monsters take it away?"

Chu Ming held the crystal stone and observed it for a while, then said: "You said that the divine fire is the fire of destruction. What will happen if it is detonated in the Demon City?"

Ana looked hesitant and drew a big circle with his hands, "All the southern regions under the Kingdom of God may be affected."

"South of the Violet Principality?"

Chu Ming couldn't help but click his tongue.

"This divine fire is really terrifying."

"But Victor and the others should not have obtained the divine fire yet, otherwise they would have achieved their goal long ago."

There is another point that Chu Ming did not mention. The divine fire that exists now is just a virtual image of memory. It is not known how much power it can have with the real divine fire.

"Let's go back first and leave this to the knights."

"Ah."

The two walked outside, and the griffin knight on the side reminded: "Mr. Renn, I will continue to monitor the scene here, and then return to the palace to hand over the information to Her Royal Highness."

"Knight Saimaiti will follow you back to the guild, but please be careful."

The man was still frightened by what had just happened, and ordered the gryphon knight who was accompanying him to protect Chu Ming.

If something really happened to Chu Ming and Her Royal Highness was blamed, then they would not be able to escape responsibility.

Chu Ming nodded in thanks.

These two gryphon knights are both legendary. Although he acted very dull when facing Victor just now, he did not forget Victor's identity, which in itself is not something ordinary legends can deal with.

He and Ana got on the carriage and headed back toward the Knights' Quarter. When the two returned to the guild, it was already dusk unknowingly.

In the small courtyard room, Ana was feeding Luticia who was lying on the bed. After Chu Ming told the two of them not to go out for the next few days, he returned to the room.

Sitting in front of the table, Chu Ming unconsciously flipped through the legendary part of the Griffin Knight inheritance in his hand and thought about today's events.

"Victor doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards me, or it should be said that there is no conflict between me and the purpose he wants to accomplish for the time being."

"If I continue to pursue it, he might risk being exposed and come to the guild to chop me up."

He took out the broken crystal and placed it under the magic lamp for a while. "At the moment, I only know that they seem to be collecting divine fire as well."

"So what do they want to do?"

"Is there any connection between divine fire and puppets?"

"Or they want to use the power of divine fire to force the royal family to achieve their goals."

Chu Ming's eyes flickered slightly, his thoughts were flowing, and countless possibilities appeared in his mind.

"No matter what, after today's incident, senior sisters and the others should be more vigilant."

"As for what I said, it's better not to interfere for the time being."

Chu Ming sighed slightly. Facing Victor's spell, he couldn't even dodge it, which showed that the man's strength indeed surpassed that of ordinary legends.

The gap between epic and legend is unimaginably large. Even if he is already invincible under epic, he still cannot face the legend. This is very different from the situation where he defeated epic with the strength of Deep Blue.

"But even though I can't beat ordinary legends, if I want to run away, ordinary legendary knights really can't catch up."

"Even if I can't run away, with my recovery ability far more powerful than that of the golden-scaled monster, I won't necessarily die even if I stand there and let the legend bombard me for a few minutes."

"We have to break through the legend as soon as possible."

Chu Ming looked at the Griffin inheritance book in his hand, and took out the Lieyang Secret Technique and the Cloud Thunder Secret Technique from the subspace.

Currently, he has three books of legendary secrets in his hand, and he is very familiar with each knight's path. However, if he just relies on the secrets to break through to legend, his level will be stuck at the legendary one star as his bloodline level reaches the upper limit.

"You still have to practice the secret of humanity that Marcus said."

"With the human mysteries infinitely combined with other mysteries, maybe one day the human bloodline will be able to break through the upper limit of legends, maybe even reach mythology."

"Mythical knights... they don't seem to exist throughout the ages. They are really desirable."

"However, I signed a contract with the gods and have been waiting for two days. Why haven't the Magic Newspapers contacted me yet?"

After thinking for a while, Chu Ming decided to take the initiative. He sat back on the bed and took out the lavender crystal.

"Miss Susie, I have something to ask you."

The crystal shone slightly, and the wall in front of him rippled like water, gradually turning into a mirror that reflected the entire room into it.

Chu Ming sat on the bed and waited for a while. Different from the past, the black cat did not appear.

"Miss Susie?"

He called a few more times, but still no response.

Just when he was about to give up, there was a groan from the mirror.

"Human, you are so noisy."

"It's so cold in the winter, so I can't even let the cat sleep."

The black cat walked out of the darkness under the bed, stood up and yawned.

Chu Ming touched his chin and smiled: "Do cats also need to hibernate?"

"Huh, why don't you need it? It's only comfortable to sleep in winter."

The black cat jumped onto the bed and said lazily: "Tell me, guest, what service do you need?"

Before Chu Ming could say anything, the black cat suddenly jumped up from the bed, with a humanized panic on his face.

"It's over, it's over, this month's salary will be deducted."

"Why didn't I see this?"

Black Cat immediately straightened his back and coughed lightly: "Ahem, dear guest, due to a work error, your contract application was delayed for two days, but please do not give me a bad review, thank you."

As she spoke, she became more and more guilty and her voice became softer.

"Please, human."

"I'm counting on you for all my dried fish this month."

Chu Ming pinched the purple crystal and sensed the sudden scoring choices in his mind. He smiled slightly and threatened her: "Miss Su Qian, your work attitude seems a bit lazy, so I decided to give you..."

"It's over..."

The black cat collapsed on the bed with a lifeless look on his face.

Chu Ming smiled and continued: "Of course it's a five-star review."

The black cat's ears twitched and stood up happily, "Really, thank you, human being."

"No, it's a respected customer."

"I'll handle the business for you right now."
