volume 3 - Chapter c244 (2/2)

“What just happened?” Even the Pendulum Golem was stunned.

“You…” Orthylss, who had been spectating the entire time, was miffed. “Don’t you dare tell anyone that you know me! How embarra.s.sing!”

Brendel’s face was also red with shame. However, he knew that his life was the number one priority. He stumbled out of the light circle, before the Pendulum Golem’s cold voice said, “Idiot, the path to the surface is already blocked, where can you run to?” After hearing that, only then did Brendel remember about it. He began to despair. However, he was not a man who gave up easily. He immediately ducked behind a pillar to catch his breath.

“What do you plan to do?” Orthylss’s asked him calmly.

“What else can I do? I’m going to play hide-and-seek with him until Ciel and the rest manage to get in here.”

Orthylss rolled her eyes at him. “Don’t you realize that the enemy is familiar with the terrain? What’s more, is that it has nearly the same job as you, aren’t you afraid that he summons more strange creatures? As big as this place is, you wouldn’t be able to hide if there are a hundred monsters searching for you.”

“You’re right,” Brendel nodded. Brendel tried to think of some jokes to lighten up the tension. After some thinking, he decided, “I’m going to fight.”

“How?” Orthylss asked.

“He is a Planeswalker, so I’ll use my skills to fight too. His body may be strong, but its summons doesn’t seem like much to me. After I defeat its summons, I’ll just continue our game of hide-and-seek.” Even though it seemed like an ordinary plan, Brendel had actually put a lot of thought into it. Orthylss couldn’t find anything wrong with the plan, so she just nodded.

Brendel immediately picked out his cards, but he was actually panicking inside. In truth, he had only a few cards on hand that he could use. His main Cards，Wind Spirit Spiders、Fireclaw Lizardmen were still in the tomb, even Pristine Archangel was also there. He couldn’t help cursing Andersha under his breath.

He still had Medissa, Ciel, Morpheus and the Mercenaries outside. Because their cooldown was not reset, he couldn’t summon them onto the field, which was basically most of his fighting prowess. Besides these cards, he didn’t have a lot of choices at hand.

He had six cards left (Sun’s Blade was already used up), which were Mana Loss，Sprint Drive，Golden Battle Flag, Rune Summoner，Graveyard Revival, Night Lord, and Vampire Baron. The rest of the cards were either Boundary Cards or were related to Resources, meaning they were basically useless.

After some thought, Brendel decided to summon The Night Lord, a level 35 Card, the same as Medissa and it was a rare silver card.

His Dark EP pool was nearly full, after leveling up in the Black Forest he had 30 points. He spent 15 points to use the card, causing a plume of black smoke to appear in front of his eyes. After the smoke dissipated, a naked girl appeared. Her beauty was unearthly --- even though she wasn’t human to begin with --- the vampire girl’s skin was as white as snow, black hair s.h.i.+ning like obsidian, tender lips as red as blood, eyes shut lightly as if she were still sleeping. Her figure was perfect, even though one wouldn’t have a nosebleed after seeing her, one could tell that everything was just the right proportion.

The girl slowly opened her eyes. A pair of crimson orbs stared at Brendel.

She clasped her hands. Black smoke billowed around her body once more, forming a tight, black gown. Brendel looked on in shock. Is this beautiful lady going to wear that into battle? He almost blurted out.

Before he could say anything, she interjected, “Speak, where are the enemies?”

The enemy was right behind them. The Pendulum Golem still hadn’t noticed Brendel’s actions, still commanding its troops to search for him. It even summoned a machine ball made of gears that were floating in midair. Brendel couldn’t recognize what it was, but he knew that it wasn’t good news. He pointed at the troops and said to the vampiress, “Those Marionette Swordsmen, I’ll distract them while you launch a sneak attack. Destroy as many as you can. Can you do that?”

“Okay,” she replied.

“What’s your name?” Brendel asked suddenly.

“My name is Andrea, my family name is Thermis. Remember it well, for I will not answer that question again,” the girl replied after staring at him coldly.

“This is one interesting girl, ” Orthylss said, amused.

He smiled bitterly.
