Let's play cards! In a different world of swords and magic

Chapter 242: Luca's Death

The fire of God dispelled the thick fog in the capital, allowing the warm sunlight to once again spread over the land of the capital of Levolden.

The power of the Sun God remained, and the Pteranodon seemed to respond to You Ling and Aisha's wishes at the moment before it disappeared, and healed the pain caused by the Dark Game.

Golden light particles fell on the unconscious Yilin and Kema, allowing their broken souls, which had sustained nearly 10,000 points of combat damage in the dark game, to receive healing from God.

"I, am still alive?" Yilin opened his eyes again and subconsciously looked up at the sun that had cleared the thick fog above his head.

"It's really the sun. It feels like I haven't seen the sun for a long time. This is the first time I feel that the sun can be so warm."

Kema also stood up shortly afterwards, and saw You Ling, whose golden glow on the ends of his hair had not yet completely faded.

"Did you win, You Ling? Hmph..."

After the cold snort, I thought Kema, who was known to be tough even if he was beaten badly, would say something arrogant again.

"Well played."

I didn't expect it to be such a straightforward compliment, which was also unprecedented for the arrogant Kema.

The last time this happened seemed to be during a duel on an Imperial battleship...it didn't seem to be that long ago.

The thick fog dissipated, the Dark Game was won, and the fallen companions and the unconscious duelists in the royal capital all woke up and recovered.

In the seemingly happy scene, only the screams seemed out of place.

Come to think of it, Luca Slint has never been sociable since she was born, and this state even continued until the last moment of her life.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It hurts. It hurts so much!”

Even though the dark game was over, the girl's body did not stop being burned by God's flames.

It won't take long for a normal person's body to lose consciousness after being burned by the soul-touching flames of the Sun God Winged Dragon, with both the soul and body reduced to ashes.

But the biggest difference of Luca Slynt at this time was that the body that Weier had rebuilt for her was too strong. It was so strong that it could even withstand the flames of the Pteranodon without being destroyed.

"It's so painful...so painful..."

The overly strong body became a prison for Luka's soul, preventing her from being freed immediately.

The white and tender skin of the girl was burned and cracked by the flames, but it repaired itself due to the flow of magic power in her body. This cycle repeated again and again, the purgatory of burning pain tortured Luka over and over again.

"Why, why do I have to endure such pain..."

Luca still doesn't know why she ended up like this. After all, living in such an environment, no one would tell her how miserable her actions would make her in the end.

"I just think……"

As the flames continued to burn, Luka endured the heart-wrenching pain and held the Millennium Wisdom Wheel in front of her chest. The fake Millennium Wisdom Wheel that was copied with magic power.

"I just wanted to... well, what did I want to do..."

Her pupils gradually dilated. Luca risked her life to fight the final battle, and she also wanted to get the Millennium Artifact. This was because when she was young, the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom told her that as long as she collected all seven artifacts, she would have the power to change the world.

But, is there any point in me collecting all the thousand-year-old artifacts now?

The next second, the fake Millennium Wheel of Wisdom that Luca's fingertips touched once again turned into black ash after being defeated and dissipated in the burning flames.

Luca knew in her heart that she had been abandoned by the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom long ago and could no longer collect all the Millennium Artifacts.

Aisha: "Luka, you are so beautiful!"

Looking at the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom disappearing from Luka's chest, Aisha suddenly understood why Luka said that to her during the duel with the little princess Nova.

""Are you being too careless to lend your soul to someone else, Aisha Carlos? ...If you are too careless, be careful that it will be stolen.""

Luca's thousand-year-old wheel of wisdom was really stolen, along with the soul that resided in it.

So since this possibility exists, will You Ling one day leave him like Luca's Millennium Wheel of Wisdom?

This was the first time that Aisha Carlos, who was simple by nature, truly felt a potential crisis.

And why does Lucaslint, as the former host who has lost the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom, still want to collect the Millennium Artifacts?

Even she herself can't explain it clearly.

Perhaps as the only "ideal" she had in her short life, Luca would still want to try to pursue it even if it is no longer possible to achieve it.

If I allow this last "ideal" to decay with reality, then my life will be nothing but killing.

"Another me, you said we can change the world, is that true?"

As long as she still holds on to this "ideal", the dirty little girl who asked again and again in the alley ten years ago, holding the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom in her hand, will not have completely disappeared.

However, when Luca herself asked, "What do I want to do?", the little girl who yearned for her innocent ideal was finally killed by her own hands.

“It hurts, it hurts so much… Kill me! Please, kill me… You Ling, please…”

Tormented by the pain of repeated burning, even death was no longer a luxury, Luca placed her final hope of relief on You Ling, hoping that You Ling, who was once her mortal enemy, could give her a quick death.

"I'm not such a gentle person, Luca." You Ling refused.

Besides, You Ling didn't want his host, Aisha Carlos, to have his hands stained with blood because of someone like Luka.

"When someone knelt in front of you and begged you to spare his life, did you ever promise him, Luca?"

"!!!"

You Ling's words struck her heart directly, and Luka's light blue eyes seemed to reflect the scene ten years ago.

The scene where the shop owner was pinned to the ground, his face full of fear and despair, begging for her mercy again and again, saying that he had a wife and children to take care of, but was stabbed through the heart by her sword.

It turns out that from that time on, I had lost the qualifications to pursue my "ideal".

"It turns out that I have been 'dead' since that time."

Click——!

The sound of shattering came from the depths of the soul. The girl named Lucaslint, even though her body was still burning, her desperate soul had already dissipated in the flames of God.

Three cards fell out of the flames.

The three people who possessed the Millennium Artifact and lost in the Dark Game. Thunder Steel Set, Rockforthlint, and Lucaslint, just three cards in total.

The cards of the Three Phantom Demons floated down in front of You Ling's toes.

Chapter 243: My Heart and My Actions Are as Clear as a Mirror

"The card of the three phantom demons?"

He bent down and picked up the three cards on the ground. If the dark side's thousand-year-old artifact accounted for half of the culprit for all this, then the other half must be these three phantom magic cards.

The Phantom Demon Emperor Rabbi El.

The Thunder King Hamon.

The Flame God Uriah.

Three legendary dark cards that can grant eternal life to their users.

Regardless of the strength of the card itself, if this temptation is left unchecked, there will definitely be a second Lockefor and a third Lockefor who will fall into darkness in pursuit of eternal life.

"Let me bear this darkness and responsibility!"

So You Ling made a difficult decision and accepted the cards of the three phantom demons to prevent them from continuing to wreak havoc on this elf continent.

Aisha: "o(?Д?)っ! Mr. Yu Ling, you just have a card collecting habit!"

"Nonsense! My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just!"

The chains of desire, darkness and greed must be cut off by your own hands.

Of course, you just collect the card. Whether to put it in the deck or not requires careful consideration before you can make a decision.

Well, the initial judgment is that with the special summon conditions of three phantom demons, it is too difficult to put them in Aisha's deck. It is highly likely that Jue will not invest in them.

"Great, You Ling, we won!"

The excited voices of the two girls came at the same time, and they pounced on You Ling one after the other before he could return the control of his body to Aixia.

You Ling only felt that Aisha's body, which was originally light enough, lost its balance due to the collision of two soft bodies, one of which was even lighter than Aisha.

"Ok?"

Yilin and Nova, who were pressing on You Ling, looked at each other and asked in confusion in unison.

"Why do you also know You Ling?" ×2

The little princess was still ignorant and just blinked her big golden eyes innocently.

But Yilin realized it later and instantly realized that something was very serious.

The next second, You Ling felt a sharp pain in Aixia's soft waist, which should be caused by Yilin pinching her hard.

"Rin...you?" You Ling asked innocently while enduring the pain.

"You Ling, you wouldn't do that, would you? How could you do that to a little kid like the Third Princess?"

Yilin's eyes were already half dark at this moment, and it felt like he would turn back into the darkened state that he was in when he duelled with Aisha, driving the evil-hearted hero.

"Rin, do I still have a chance to explain?"

"Explain yourself, beast."

She is not the type of willful girlfriend who refuses to listen to any explanation. At least Yilin, who is on the verge of turning evil, is still willing to listen to You Ling's simple explanation of what happened when the little princess Nova fell into the dark game.

However, the fingers that were pinching Aixia's slender waist never loosened, making You Ling feel miserable.

"Alas, the final result is that the number of people has increased again." Yilin's eyes recovered after knowing the truth, but he couldn't help but sighed: "I thought there was only one more Kema senior..."

"Hmph, don't count me in without your permission!"

Recalling the feeling of having control of his body dominated by You Ling, Kema, who had an exaggeratedly strong self-esteem, felt extremely humiliated.

I, a great Kemaset, had to endure such humiliation. I will remember this grudge.

"Aixia, it's time to change back. I'm a little tired."

"..."

"Aisha?"

It was rare that in the soul exchange state, Aisha did not answer himself immediately.

Aisha, who usually stays in the Millennium Brick Soul Room, is as well-behaved as a puppy quietly waiting for his owner to come home. As long as You Ling speaks, she will definitely talk to him, even if it is just a complaint.

But this time, I was rarely distracted.

"Aisha, Miss Aisha Carlos?"

"(;≧Д≦) Hey, Mr. Yu Ling! Sorry, I was distracted just now!"

It perfectly interprets the scene when a student who is dozing off in class is discovered by the teacher, and Aisha in the Millennium Brick apologizes at the speed of light.

The reason why Aisha was distracted was that her psychological sense of crisis seemed to be triggered after Yilin and Nova rushed over.

"If you're too careless, it might get stolen."

Recalling Luca's previous "advice", Aisha suddenly realized, is it really a good thing for her to have no sense of crisis?

Was I really too naive in the past?

What if it really gets stolen?

The three soul-torturing questions almost plunged Aisha into a spiral of thoughts and contradictions.

Seeing that Aixia finally responded, You Ling added: "I don't blame you for anything. I just think it's time to switch back. This exchange has lasted long enough."

It was a long day in the royal capital, starting with a thick fog. It was also the first time that You Ling and Aisha exchanged bodies for such a long time.

If this continues, this body may soon lose recognition of its true owner.

"Exchange bodies, got it. Okay, okay, let's exchange now. Mr. You Ling, please go back quickly!"

Now Aixia wished that You Ling would go back quickly and stay away from these women.

The thousand-year-old building blocks shone, and You Ling finally got what he wanted and returned to his familiar and comfortable spiritual room after a long time.

"Welcome back, You Ling. Thank you for your hard work this time."

In the spiritual room, waiting for his return was the dark side Aisha who had secretly practiced many times. Although it was still a little stiff, one could see the smile that meant "welcome home".

"I'm not the only one who's working hard. This time, I'm also grateful for your support."

After saying that, You Ling flicked his fingertips lightly, and the trap card [Wonderful XYZ] that he had taken from Black Aisha flew back into her hand.
