Having a powerful lord as a father figure, what's wrong with just wanting to draw cards?

"Yeah, haha... haha." Afu laughed awkwardly.

the other side.

Domi took a step, a seemingly ordinary step without any preparatory movement, yet it possessed tremendous explosive power, instantly bringing him to Toer's side.

In a flash, the two seemed to see each other's smiles as if they were evenly matched, even though Todd was wearing a pigeon-head hairstyle.

If you had to describe Domi's fist in one word, Toll would say without hesitation:

"Throwing the ball with deadly precision and without the slightest hesitation! Is this the true nature of you, young man, hidden beneath the guise of an archer?!"

"Thanks for the compliment!"

"Also, I have never admitted that I am just a simple archer."

After saying that, Domi teleported behind Tor with a hound's gait and punched him in various vulnerable spots behind him.

All that could be heard was the sound of clattering and clanging as most of the rain of fists were blocked by his axe, with hardly any landing on him.

Domi has now discovered that every time Tori moves the axe, he casts a wind spell to speed up the movement.

This is the only way to get back in time to defend during each sneak attack.

In addition, this pigeon-headed man's combat instincts are terrifyingly sharp.

If someone else used wind magic to increase speed, they would be lucky to avoid even being caught off guard, let alone accurately blocking the attack.

Beneath the crossed, parrying axes, lay the deep, dove-like eyes of the toddler:

"If you have any other tricks up your sleeve, you'd better use them quickly. Otherwise, you won't be able to determine a winner just by using these methods."

"I'll say the same thing to you!"

Domi deliberately created some distance, then placed one hand on the ground, and the rising earthen pillar immediately sent him into the air, giving him an absolute visual advantage.

Then he reached down and pressed down, and sharp ice crystals rained down on Toor's forehead.

He could easily dodge this attack, but just as he was about to move, the ground beneath his feet suddenly became incredibly sticky, and he sank in a little.

But that's not all. In the barrage of Domi's beginner magic combo punches with no pre-cast animation, these are just appetizers.

A mud wall rose up around the swamp, surrounding Tuor, and icicles mixed with tiny water needles rained down on Tuor's head like a torrential downpour.

The clanging and clattering sounds echoed within the circular earthen wall.

The lightning within Toor burst forth, shattering all the flying objects in mid-air with its thunder, preventing them from getting any closer to him.

At the same time, he discovered that several thornless vines had grown out of the mud beneath his feet, tightly binding his ankles and constantly reaching upwards.

Even he was finding this a bit tricky: "You're using high-frequency attacks to keep me busy while constantly reinforcing your control. You're something else!"

"However, I'm not someone you can just easily deal with!"

A sharp rumble of thunder came from inside the earthen wall, and a purple flash broke through layers of barriers, only to fall into Domi's carefully designed trap.

"Haha, madada madada!" he shouted excitedly as he rushed out, completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

A fireball was thrown from the direction of Domi, and he easily dodged it with a simple dodge.

"Young man, you're still too green."

But just then, an even more powerful fireball blasted down from the ground at him, who thought there was no more to come, and he took full damage.

The pigeon headgear also caught fire, which was unusual, and Todd quickly swatted it out.

He prioritized protecting his hood over the extent of his own injuries?

Domi looked closely and saw that even though Tori had taken a full hit of fireballs, he hadn't suffered much damage, and his health bar hadn't moved much either.

Although the damage was minimal, my tactics were still successful.

"How is this going?!"

The shill's seemingly wise pigeon eyes were filled with doubt.

"Since you have asked so sincerely, I will mercifully tell you."

"Relying on the unique nature of my shadow-based abilities, the first fireball is fake. When it hits you, a shadow will appear below it. The real fireball actually comes out of the shadow. It's all about imagination."

"I see, no wonder he crawled out from below... You're really something, young man!"

"In that case, I'll have to show you some real skills!"

Purple lightning coiled around the twin axes, as if charging up energy.

After aiming at Domi, Tor threw the gun in his right hand at him and started running at the same time.

When the flying axe was halfway through its spin, a breathtaking maneuver occurred that Domi never expected!

Todd then threw the axe in his left hand as well.

The two spinning throwing axes collided directly, and at the moment of impact, all the lightning contained within them erupted out, turning into a beam of light that directly slammed Domi into the river.

With a soft, clear, and loud thud.

At this moment, relying on the wind and thunder to accelerate, he caught two axes flying in the air halfway, leaped high, and then chopped them down into the river!

Wow!

The water splashed up more than ten meters high! It was as if a depth charge had exploded inside!

"Little Lord!"

"Mr. Death Omen!"

The two spectators never imagined that this leaping strike would possess such astonishing power.

Is this... an A-rank battle?!

However, the two people who had already sunk to the bottom of the river could not hear the shouts from above.

Where the current was swift, Domi actually caught the double axes that Tuo'er swung down with his bare hands!

While Toddler was having some existential questions, Domi was wincing in pain after hitting his back on the riverbed.

Toddler: "Gurgle gurgle gurgle..." (Wow, that's impressive!)

Domi: "Wah la wah la wah..." (Same to you.)

"Gurgle wah la gurgle wah la!" (Let's settle this once and for all!)

Rivers, the places where the magic of water is most abundant.

At Domi's summons, countless water magic powers converged into a traditional Chinese water dragon, which was born from the depths of the vortex and charged forward with its giant mouth and fangs open!

His entire body unleashed a torrent of lightning magic, with purple arcs of electricity even spreading across the river's surface.

In the next encounter, the two were blasted into the air by the water dragon crackling with electricity!

Where water magic is abundant, it is always Domi's home turf. Although lightning is effective against water, if Domi also has lightning, its power will be greatly reduced.

Amidst the astonished gazes of Forty-Seven and Afu, Domi stood proudly atop the water dragon, using ice crystals as a longbow and water as an arrow. He aimed at the airborne Toir, drew the bow fully, and released the arrow!

"竜が我が enemy を喰らう!! (ryu ga waga enemy wa kurau!)"

The water dragon roared and flew towards Toor along with the arrow, then splashed a small puddle of water on the soles of his feet, making him squeal with ticklishness.

Then, with a splash, he fell into the river just like Domi.

The two peeked out again, looked at each other, and burst into laughter.

This warm-up match has now come to an end, and the result was not bad.

After getting ashore, the two spectators brought towels.

Domi naturally had forty-seven people to help wipe it.

Although he could use magic to dry it directly, why not have the lovely Forty-Seven help him wipe it?

Seeing that Domi had female staff, the shill couldn't help but feel envious and quickly started to fawn over the muscular Afu:

"Afufu, I want you to wipe me too~"

"Ugh, that's disgusting." She tossed the towel to the tout, rubbed her arms tremblingly, and left, seemingly disgusted.

If Afu had any knowledge of her past life's culture, she would surely summon an elongated watermelon strip, photoshop it with big eyes and sausage lips, and shout:

"Does anyone in my family understand this? Being forced to wipe my body by a perverted old man! It's disgusting, what a jerk."

He looked at Domi with disappointment and a sense of grievance.

"Young man, I thought the bond between me and my teammates was already very deep, but... but I never expected that she wouldn't even help me wipe it off... Waaah!"

Domi said helplessly, "You should be grateful that they brought you a towel."

"Forty-seven is my part-time maid, that's why she helps me bathe. Let's just say, what are you to Afu? A pigeon spirit?"

Faced with such hurtful words, the shill broke down, and the tough guy burst into tears on the spot.

Seeing how pitiful and lonely he was, Domi gave him a dry and moisturizing skincare package, which can be considered as fulfilling her social responsibility of caring for elderly people living alone.

"You're still the best to me, young man!"

"Get out of my way! Didn't you see you scared Forty-Seven away?"

The friendly sparring session came to an end. On the way to a restaurant for lunch, Tuor, recalling the battle, asked curiously:

"Young man, do you learn every kind of magic? It seems like you know everything, and you're so skilled that you don't even need to chant spells."

"Not that powerful. Apart from shadow magic and necromancy, I've only learned some basic spells in other magic systems."

"I spent a full four years immersed in the library. Don't underestimate a book lover!"

"Holy crap, scholars are truly terrifying..."

"It's making me want to fill my brain with knowledge too. Do you have any book recommendations?"

After thinking for a moment, Domi said seriously, "I think you will benefit greatly from learning 'On the Postpartum Care of Pigeons'."

Everyone burst into laughter, but Tuo'er looked thoughtful.

It wasn't that Domi was deliberately lying to him; when he was studying various organisms, he had actually seen such a book, which greatly impressed him when he was young.

After lunch, Tuo'er actually went to the local bookstore, grabbed the clerk's shoulder as soon as she entered, and her eyes revealed a strange fervor:

Where is "On the Postpartum Care of Pigeons"?!
