Chapter 40: Why are you dealing your cards so erratically!?

After One-Pun ran out of the room, he encountered someone blocking his path moments after he ran through Steel City.

“Hisith?”

One-Pun stopped in front of Hisith, and was surprised that Hisith, who had left several minutes earlier than him, was standing there. He immediately wanted to ask why Hisith had stopped, but suddenly realized something. His expression changed as he wanted to run back.

“It’s too late.” Hisith spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, One-Pun stopped and sighed heavily, “Why do go to such ends?”

Hisith gave a sinister smile and said, “No one can stop me from the things I want to do. I know that your second Superpower, ‘God’s Guardian’ allows you to instantly teleport to the protectee. Although I do not know the condition or price of using it, the limitation and weakness is very obvious—your ‘God’s Guardian’ definitely has a time restriction!”

“You used ‘God’s Guardian’ once just now, so it’s unlikely you can use it again. As for my poker card, it has already landed. Regardless of how fast your movement technique is, it will be too late.”

One-Pun remained silent, Hisith was mostly right. He did not have the ability to prevent whatever Hisith left behind.

“Don’t worry, it’s just a Three of Clubs hex. It will let that naughty little toy endure a little bit of pain, and teach him to remember. It won’t give him an insufferable existence. Too much protection won’t do. Suffering is the mother of growth.”

Hisith said with a happy expression before he turned around. “‘Meteor storm’ is an A Class calamity. Getting there earlier might save a cute toy or two.”

“You just want to search for more souls.”

One-Pun sighed, and with a struggling expression, he eventually followed Hisith.

…

…

The poker card that suddenly fell from the ceiling onto Shi Xiaobai’s shoulder melted into his body instantaneously. A phantom Three of Clubs image bloomed behind Shi Xiaobai, with dozens of shadowy wraiths appearing mid air. They immediately surged into Shi Xiaobai’s body.

“Ah!”

As pain instantly swamped his senses, Shi Xiaobai immediately shouted in pain. As his mind was consumed by pain, the shadowy figures that entered his bodies wrecked havoc in his body, as if every bone of his was being suppressed, and every inch of his skin was being pricked by a needle, while every nerve was being torn apart.

“Dahei!”

Lingcun shouted in alarm as he charged to the platform, while everyone watched blankly with bewilderment. Ye Jiaquan’s muscular body also followed closely behind.

“Stop, human.”

Suddenly a cold, lacerating voice sounded from the door. Lingcun and Ye Jiaquan stopped abruptly and turned their heads towards the door. There, they saw a ‘person’ covered in layers of white bandages. That ‘person’ looked extremely similar in shape when compared to humans, but the flesh that it revealed was purplish-red, and behind his back was a giant pair of bat wings.

Just that ‘person’ standing there made people shudder with fear.

“Calamity fiend!?”

“No, he’s one of the seven servants of Instructor Hisith, the bat, Mos.”

“Instructor Hisith’s Diamond suit can summon calamity fiends. Apparently this Mos, is the Nine of Diamonds.”

“What does Instructor Hisith want, having used the Three of Clubs hex on Tu Dahei and then summoning his Nine of Diamonds calamity fiend servant?

“…”

Hisith was one of the few S Class Heroes in China. There was a lot of information regarding him on the Internet. After the rookies knew that their instructor was Hisith, they immediately found the information and learned them by heart. At this moment, when they saw the calamity fiend in bandages and bat wings, they immediately figured that it was Hisith’s poker card servant, Mos.

Lingcun and Ye Jiaquan also identified Mos’ identity. They were locked on by Mos’ killing intent and as intangible fear enveloped them, they felt their bodies turn extremely stiff. Cold sweat covered their backs as they did not dare make a single move.

“Go back.” Mos barked coldly at the two of them. Immediately, he flapped his wings and flew to the platform. In moments, he landed beside Shi Xiaobai who was scrunched up on the floor in pain. He looked coldly at the tiny figure trembling and struggling below him.

Lingcun and Ye Jiaquan’s eyes betrayed their internal struggle, but they knew that they were helpless against the calamity fiend, Mos, who they knew was a murderous beast. They gave Shi Xiaobai a deep and meaningful glance before returning to their seats, hearts filled with indignation.
