Chapter 445 - 395 : Real Magic (1/2)

VOLUME 7: THREE BROTHERS

Three people stared at each other for a while, trying to understand what's going on. Arthur recognized them both with a single glance but the pain that suddenly struck him snapped him out of his daze. He fell from the sky but it shouldn't be nearly enough to cause him to feel like this.

Furthermore, this shouldn't have happened, he should be in another place and not here. It wasn't only Arthur that recognized the two, the pale-skinned youth also looked at those two familiar faces while frowning.

Only the Joker seemed oblivious, he scratched his head and got up, dusting his clothes and looking around.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”Fucking hell! I nearly died!”

He inspected the two of them and rubbed his chin while talking:

”Strange… I feel different.”

Leiu and Arthur also got up but didn't start roaming this unfamiliar forest. They started another staring contest before Arthur said:

”Let's try to understand our current situation first.”

”Yes yes! I agree!”

The Nameless Knight remained silent but he softly nodded his head.

”Your face is kind of familiar… I have a good memory but I can't seem to remember you.”

The Joker leaned closer to Arthur and inspected his face but he still couldn't recognize him.

”Let's introduce ourselves first.”

After saying that, the Joker took a comical pose with his back leaning backward, a hand on his chest and his left leg raised then started talking:

”I am the Magician 'Extraordinaire', the Playful Trickster, The Joker!”

Both Arthur and the youth beside him listened to his cheesy introduction while furrowing their brows, not knowing whether to take him seriously or not.

The person in question 'beautifully' ended his introduction and glanced at the other two, waiting for them to do their part. Arthur coughed and cleared his throat before saying

”I'm Arthur MoonStar.”

He didn't know why those two didn't recognize him but it was not the appropriate time to ask to he refrained from saying anything unnecessary.

The only one left was the silent youth, who took quite a bit of time to talk.

”I'm 'Nameless'.”

”Nameless? You don't have a name? Come on, man. We're in this together, we should get along!”

The Joker walked to the youth and patted his back while heartily laughed. He received a glare from Leiu, who shoved away the other's hand, not bothering to explain himself.

”What? Did I say something wrong?”

The Joker's question was directed at Arthur, who seemed more rational than this youth in black armor. As if he remembered something, the Joker retrieved a deck of card from his back pocket and looked at one particular black card only to find it completely blank. He flipped it upside down several times but the results didn't change.

”Hm? The System is gone?”

His words were heard by the two others, who tried to view their window status only to fail. Not only that, their powers seemed to disappear as if they became mortals. The Nameless Knight tried to reach to the sword on his back only to find nothing but air.

Zodiak's ring also disappeared, leaving Arthur confused about what happened. No matter where he went, the system always accompanied him. From the surprised looks the other two were showing, they were also experiencing the same thing.

”Oh well! At least I still have my cards.”

The Joker didn't seem to be that bothered but the frown on the youth's face was unsettling. His mood seemed to have worsened.

”We should look for a settlement or a city and investigate.”

Arthur voiced his thoughts while reading their expressions. Neither of the two objected so, the three chose a direction and started walking.

The forest was peaceful, they met no monsters whatsoever, only the occasional wild boars or deers. A bout of silence flowed between the three of them which made the atmosphere quite awkward, fortunately, that didn't last long as the Joker was quite the talkative person.

”Aww man, this sucks! I was enjoying my hunt yet I somehow land in this boring place.”

His endless whining was rather annoying but Leiu didn't seem bothered by it. He kept following the other two while thinking about something. He definitely saw them back then so they must have a relation with what happened to him in the past.

Only the Joker remained oblivious, nonchalantly playing with his cards while whistling.

”Hey, Arthur.”

He nudged Arthur's back while grinning. At first, he was ignored but after he repeated that a few times, Arthur had to reply

”What?”
