Hunting Cards! Star Dragon

As for the other Vatican officials, the reason they panicked after seeing Lillian swear a duel oath was entirely because...

Lady Saint, how did you get yourself into this gamble?

But now, no matter how panicked the other Vatican officials were, it was of no avail.

Once a vow is made, there is no going back on it.

This is why Lillian chose to swear the oath as soon as Xingjian agreed.

She was afraid that Xingjian would regret it!

What if I gamble with my body?

How could I, a sword-wielding saint, lose to a hunter?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

On the second floor of the Sky Hunter Group Teahouse, Rina, who has gradually adapted to her new job as a receptionist, puts on a sweet business smile and greets the hunters who come to the counter to receive their tasks.

"Quest request [Cleaning Up! Diarrhea Chocobo Going Wild], the reward is 3000z. Please note that you must not harm the Chocobo when cleaning up the poop. If that's okay with you, I'll take it for you~"

"Quest request: [Tenchi-Kuroku], quest reward: 500z. Please cure the client's son's chuunibyou (chuunibyou) thinking he can hunt Kurokuroku~"

"Task commission [I don't want to go to work], Task commission [Push the author for updates]. I suggest you take both of these tasks together~"

Although she was handling one commissioned task after another smoothly, Rina was always worried about Hoshimi who was out.

It would be nice if the matter of Altria and the Sword in the Stone could go smoothly.

Gradually, Rina discovered that fewer and fewer hunters came to receive mission commissions.

On the contrary, the discussions of the crowd downstairs and outside the teahouse were getting louder and more intense.

With the mentality of watching the show, Rina stuck her little head with twin ponytails out from under the counter, her sensitive ears perked up.

"Over at the Vatican's dueling arena, a duel of oaths is taking place!"

"Bet on the sword spirit of the Excalibur and... the Sword Saint herself? What kind of weird bet is this?"

"By the way, isn't the one involved in the duel the silver-haired girl who joined our hunting group yesterday?"

"That one is said to be a boy. Look, Yinghuo keeps calling him dad."

"Ah, I thought it was some shame play."

"Don't waste time, hurry over there. There are already a lot of people gathered at the duel arena. If you're any later there won't be any room left!"

"Elbow, quick elbow!"

It turns out that it can't be that smooth.

Must go and see!

After finishing her meal, Rina hung a "Temporarily Closed" sign in front of the mission counter and followed the flowing crowd to the Granna Church Duel Arena.

In less than half an hour, the news that Xingjian and Lillian had vowed to duel spread rapidly in Granna.

Outside the duel arena, there were huge crowds of people, making it impossible to move.

"Audience seats, 3000z each, 3000z each!"

After all, it was an sworn duel initiated by the Sword-wielding Saint, and the official spectator seats inside the duel arena were all sold by the Vatican staff.

The so-called Holy See is so poor and shabby to its own saint, but it never misses any opportunity to make money.

It is said that this is the business policy set by the Archbishop.

Although money can corrupt human nature, without money, there is no way to talk about human nature.

Simply put, the Vatican also needs to make a living. The expenses of supporting such a large group of people can be imagined.

Eastern shrines also have business operations, such as drawing lots, praying, and selling super expensive specialty steamed buns.

And don’t underestimate the audience seats. The Vatican has set the price at 3000z per ticket, which is more expensive than registering for the sword-drawing competition.

But it could not completely stop the enthusiasm of the people of Granna.

Scalpers who queue up to buy tickets have almost driven up the ticket price to 6000z per ticket, but the supply still cannot meet the demand, and the price is likely to continue to rise.

I can only say that there are really a lot of rich people in big cities. This kind of scene will never be seen in Yunxue Village in a lifetime.

Xingjian in the duel arena was a little depressed.

I accepted Lillian's invitation to duel, but she didn't tell me in advance, and there would be so many people watching.

Although so many people gathered at the scene, most of them came to watch Lillian fight.

The sword-wielding saint Lillian represents one of the top combat forces in the Vatican system, but normally there is no chance of seeing her take action.

This time, it is a great opportunity to witness the heroic fighting figure of the sword-wielding saint.

In addition, the stakes this time are very interesting, as the saint is actually betting on herself to fight.

Lillian possesses a pure and sacred beauty that makes most people unable to help but fantasize about her, but it is difficult for them to have evil thoughts about her.

So everyone can't help but be curious about what kind of guy wants to take away the saint's body.

After spending 8000 zil on tickets, everyone was pleasantly surprised to discover that Lillian's opponent's exquisite appearance was in no way inferior to that of the Saint herself.

It's really worth the 10000z ticket to see these two fight!

If you are reluctant to spend the 12000z ticket money and miss this duel, you will definitely regret it later.

——Ticket prices continue to rise.

Fortunately, Jiu Yue and others had special seats for their family and friends.

"Jiuyue, lend me the armed card." Xingjian said.

"Where are your own cards?" September asked doubtfully.

"Don't worry, just lend it to me." Xingjian couldn't say that he used it in the battle last night.

In the battle at the Earl's Mansion last night, all the armament cards of [Roaring Mountain Dragon] and [Ice Claw Dark Dragon] were used up.

Before the 24-hour CD time had time to recover, he was dragged into the duel of oaths again.

This made Xingjian realize that the number of his armed card reserves was seriously insufficient.

Erica said that powerful hunters often carry dozens of high-level weapon cards.

I haven't had a chance to use the materials from the last time I killed the Thousand-legged Blade Dragon. Plus that Dark Dragon's Sky Scale. It's time to head to the third floor of the hunting group and commission a new card.

Jiu Yue pulled out two cards from the card box on her thigh and asked, "Which one do you want, the Red Blood Speed ​​Dragon or the Wind Snow Wolf card?"

"Wind and Snow Wolf, right? Wait, you didn't return this card to Liuli?"

This card was the most valuable asset of the Liuli store, but it was originally loaned to Jiu Yue by Bailong Yexing.

"I bought it."

"how much is it?"

"500z."

"You're such a nice person. You could have just taken it, but you still left 500z."

The true value of the Snow Wolf Armed Card is worth adding another zero to it.

500z, that's robbery.

"Is everything okay, Xingjian?" Silver Wolf asked.

Among the people present, Firefly, September, Silver Wolf, and the sword spirit Altria, only Silver Wolf was most worried about the duel with Xingjian.

After all, only Silver Wolf doesn't know how powerful Xingjian is.

Or perhaps, Silver Wolf knew best how strong Lillian was.

"The opponent is a sword-wielding Saint. We must not be careless. The Saint is definitely more powerful than most hunters!"

"Master won't lose." Altria held the free popcorn provided at the event. "Lillian's mind is already in turmoil. She still needs time to grow."

The silver wolf blinked his eyes and looked at Artoria, who was only as tall as his waist.

This booger-sized sword spirit can actually see the state of mind of the sword-wielding saint?

It seems like there is something.

As the clock struck twelve at noon, the promised duel officially began.

The audiences gathered in layers around the duel arena and their excitement instantly grew.

Although Altria said that, Lillian's mind was already in a mess.

But from the beginning, in sharp contrast to the noisy and bustling environment around her was Lillian, who was holding a silver sword, narrowing her eyes, and was in a meditative state.

Judging from her pre-war state alone, Lillian was extremely calm.

Only when she heard the bell ringing, indicating noon, did Lillian's blue eyes slowly open.

"Change clothes - Divine Feather Armor!"

As Lillian declared, the cross symbol engraved on the silver sword released a holy light, covering the saint's body.

Like the Eastern Shrine, the Holy See has a unique power system.

Unlike the weapon cards created by hunters using monster materials, they are amplified using faith.

Under the convergence of boundless faith, like the rising sun at dawn, warm and sacred, it gradually condensed and transformed into the [Divine Feather Armor], shimmering with golden brilliance, imbued with the devotion and anticipation of countless believers.

The weapon was equipped with pure white wings, like an angel's wings, with plump and soft feathers, each emitting a faint luster. Gently flapping, it brought about gusts of breeze, as if blessing the saint with divine power.

This was the first time that most people in Granna saw the faith weapon of the sword-wielding saint Lillian.

The luxurious divine feather armor makes Lillian look even more sacred and beautiful.

"I will never lose to you!"

With the blessing of weapons, Lillian is more confident.

The reason why she allowed so many people to gather to watch this sworn duel.

Because she wants to win back what belongs to her in front of everyone.

The absurdity of gambling with your body?

No, those people don't understand at all.

Lillian, who has been accompanied by the sword all her life, had nothing from the moment she was not chosen by the sword spirit.

As long as he can defeat Hoshimi, who is recognized by the sword spirit Altria, it means that he is stronger than Hoshimi and more qualified to use the legendary holy sword.

My unremitting efforts over the past eighteen years will not lead me to lose to a mere hunter!

Erica: "It can be seen that Lillian's swordsmanship is indeed not weak."

The battle hasn't even started yet, but Erica, the talented fighting girl, has given such a high evaluation just based on her sword-holding movements.

In the game between masters, one can get a glimpse of the opponent's general strength from their posture, breathing, momentum, and eyes.

Compared to Lillian, Xingjian seems very weak in terms of "skills".

Unfortunately, during this promised duel, [Stardust's Wish - Fusion] was also on cooldown, preventing Erica from replacing Hoshimi in the swordsmanship duel with Lillian.

Erica: "Use that trick, Hoshimi."

Xingjian: "That's exactly what I meant."

Just as the two of them were talking and tacitly agreeing on a strategy.

The glorious wings behind her weapons fluttered, and Lillian swooped down towards Xingjian with her sword in hand.

Of course, even though she was confident that "I have the advantage", Lillian would never be careless.

The blue eyes were fixed on the two weapons of Xingjian.

The katana at the waist and the large black katana at the back.

Which weapon will he choose to draw and fight?

Thanks to eighteen years of hard swordsmanship training, he constantly simulates battles in his mind every day.

In just a few seconds, Lillian had thought of ways to deal with all of Xingjian's counterattacks.
