Chapter 381: Karoso vs the Prince

"Just a little trick." Gaitan lifted his battle axe and rushed towards Karoso.

Clang!

As soon as they began fighting, Karoso was at a disadvantage in strength.

It was clear that there was a big difference between their abilities; Karoso was missing four pieces of equipment, and his magical power was not as strong as Gaitan’s.

However, when Gaitan’s battle axe struck Karoso’s Kansho Masamune, it felt like he was sinking into a swamp.

"Spatial laws?" Gaitan’s pupils narrowed.

How could Karoso, who had just entered the eighth tier, understand spatial laws so deeply? Even deeper than I do!

After reaching the eighth tier, the quality of cards is important, and understanding the laws is equally important.

Karoso just entered the eighth tier, but he has all the laws understood from the BOSS card in his mind!

Except for his low magical power and attributes, Karoso’s understanding of the laws is even greater than Celica’s!

Buzz!

Karoso lifted his knife slightly, and Gaitan’s axe missed its target.

Karoso thrust his sword at Gaitan, but it felt as if his sword struck a great mountain.

He felt much heavier, as if he were carrying a huge mountain on his back.

Law of Gravity!

"Kid, I don’t know how you understand the laws, but if you want to defeat me, you are far from it!"

Gaitan turned around and swung his big axe down at Karoso.

Bang!

Karoso blocked Gaitan’s large axe with his sword, and a wave of deathly energy rushed toward Gaitan.

Gaitan swung his axe to disperse the deathly energy, but he could not seize the chance to strike hard, "You believe in the cult of the Lord of Eternity?"

No wonder his rise in power is so terrifying; he is one of the cult!

The Church of the Lord of Eternity and the Death Knight have no limits to their power.

"How do you talk to the Flame Saint Child?" Karoso teased, "It’s not just the Lord of Eternity and the Death Knight that can use deathly energy."

Even though Karoso was low on magic, he matched Gaitan evenly at this moment.

Or rather, Karoso was gaining the advantage!

Don’t forget, Gaitan has four Equipment Cards; even without the set effect, that’s still four cards, while Karoso is using only one card.

With the magic and properties fully suppressing him, he was surprisingly still being restrained…

This is really not Gaitan’s water, but Karoso’s understanding of the rules is something someone his age shouldn’t have.

A drop of cold sweat dripped down Gaitan’s forehead.

No, if this goes on, I will lose, I will lose!

Gaitan thought that Karoso might use tricks, find others to fight for him, or make him lower his level.

What he never expected was that Karoso would be this strong!

Someone who just left school not long ago and was a sixth-tier person could actually suppress a seasoned powerhouse like him.

Damn it, I’m going all out!

Gaitan wanted to launch a surprise attack, but he saw Karoso’s blade swinging towards him.

Gaitan swung his axe to defend, but Karoso’s knife suddenly seemed to speed up, striking his armor.

Gaitan kept stepping back, his face very ugly, "The law of time… You just entered the eighth tier, why do you understand so many high-level laws?"

Normally, eighth-tier beings find it rare to touch such laws, but this young person in front of him seemed as if he had been tempered a thousand times.

"Due to the limits of my body, I am still far from the source of power," Karoso quietly looked at Titan. "If my magic power was enough, I would already be at ninth tier."

"Don’t joke around!" When Gaitan saw how boastful Karoso was, he swung his axe wildly, as if to cut open the space-time barrier in front of Karoso.

Just then, the dark mist wrapping around Karoso suddenly dispersed.

"Why did the death energy scatter? Do you look down on me?" Gaitan saw Karoso’s actions and immediately became furious.

Bang, bang, bang…

Gaitan’s axe swung wildly, and the invisible barrier in front of Karoso seemed to crack.

Boom!

The barrier of space shattered.

Karoso felt as if a mountain had struck him, tumbling down towards the sea.

Bang!

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the once calm surface of the sea was forcefully turned into a whirlpool by Karoso.

"Oh!"

The navy soldiers on the Persia side cheered.

Under the influence of the laws of time and space, their fight seemed slow, so the soldiers could see clearly.

Just moments ago, when the two were fighting, the soldiers did not dare to breathe, yet they sensed that the two were nearly equal in strength.

Unlike the soldiers, Andrey had a serious expression on his face.

What the soldiers could not see, he could.

Karoso, why did you remove the lifeless energy in the end?

In the distance, Isis Prey frowned as well; he couldn’t quite understand what was going on with Karoso.

When Karoso suddenly declared war earlier, he wasn’t too worried because Karoso had shown eighth-tier power when he came to save him; he thought Karoso was hiding his true strength.

Although it seemed unreasonable, anything connected to a god became understandable; it was not surprising for Karoso, who had been touched by a god, to experience something unusual.

Isis did not yet know that the Karoso he was seeing was not the real one, but rather a dream version.

"Will the young master lose?"

"The young master is only seventeen; how old is that prince? Losing wouldn’t be shameful."

"Don’t call him young master; in the army, you should use titles. Call him commander!"

"It’s okay, we have Lord Isis."

This is the difference between the two sides. It’s normal for Karoso to lose because he is young, but if Gaitan loses, the morale will drop greatly.

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Persia and the soldiers of Canglang Province also have a gap in this area; they rely too much on the strong and always hope the strong will do more.

Canglang Province started with tanks and artillery, so the soldiers trust their ships and planes more!

Of course, if Karoso shows strength, they will be more energized.

After all, everyone knows that Karoso is the next Grand Duke Colloa. When even the future Duke is at the front, what reason do they have not to work hard?

Most importantly, Karoso never spares expenses during wartime.

……

Boom!

Just then, a volcano suddenly appeared on the sea, and a tall stone giant emerged from it.

The stone giant was surrounded by flames, with a pair of devilish horns on its head, wearing armor made of rocks, and holding a huge stone hammer in its hand.

"Let the flames purify everything!"

The flame demon shouted, and the fire seemed to turn the ocean water red.

"Die! Insect!"

Boom!

A huge fireball hurtled towards Gaitan.

Gaitan’s gaze sharpened, and he quickly summoned a shield.

Boom!

The powerful force of the flames pushed him back three meters in the air.

"A standard eighth-tier legendary follower, where did he get so many Golden Cards?" Gaitan growled.

Even he only had three eight-star Golden Cards.

Eight-star Golden Cards are just too expensive; a normal eighth-tier cannot afford them.

Splash!

Just as Gaitan was about to deal with that follower, he saw a huge silver dragon carrying Karoso bursting out of the sea, heading straight for Gaitan.

[President, may I borrow your wife for a moment?]

Karoso soared into the air, swinging his long sword down towards Gaitan.

Clang!

As the two faced off, the gap in magical power decreased significantly, allowing for at least a balance without using dark energy.

Karoso maneuvered the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, weaving up and down, bringing the two back to an even match once again.

"Die, bug!"

Before Gaitan could react, another fireball came crashing down.

"Damn it, is this never-ending? Is an eight-star monster that impressive?" Gaitan also threw down two cards.

Suddenly, two monsters emerged from the sea, each as large as a fire demon.

They were a man and a woman; the man was covered in scars and wore many medals of a warrior.

The woman wore a crown and looked very majestic.

They both had tails like fish; the woman held a magic wand, and the man held a golden trident.

"Awooo!"

The two monsters emerged from the sea, howling at the sky, and huge waves crashed toward the King of Flamesheol.

When the Naga Queen is present, attributes are increased by 30%. When fighting in the sea, attributes are also increased by 30%.]

The Naga Queen’s husband charged forward with a spear towards the King of Flamesheol.

"Little brat, today I will teach you a lesson!" Gaitan shouted, "I want you to know what it means to have opposing attributes!"

"Naga are the true rulers of the sea!"

Karoso ignored Gaitan’s shout; the King of Flamesheol was already at a disadvantage against the two Naga working together.

In the sea, the King of Flamesheol indeed loses strength.

Then, Karoso did something that left Gaitan stunned; he threw out two cards…

[**Name: Mind Control**]

[**Race: Spell**]

[Star Level: 8]

[Grade: Blue Rare]

[Occupational Restriction: Pastor]

[Introduction: Gain control of an enemy follower (limited to eight stars or below)]

"Thank you!"

Karoso’s thoughts were on land, and besides, Alita and 『』 had limited energy, so it was impossible for them to make that many cards.

It’s okay if there are no water battle followers; the enemy will bring them for you.

"What is this?" Gaitan was confused.

Suddenly, two Naga, in the middle of their fight, turned their attention to Gaitan.

Buzz!

A swirling water vortex rushed towards Gaitan.

Gaitan did not expect that one of his followers would become a traitor, and was caught off guard.

"Die, bug!"

Just then, the King of Flamesheol threw another fireball.

Sizzle!

Water and fire should normally cancel each other out, but under the influence of Karoso’s law, it became a boiling mist that could freely adjust its acidity.

"Ah!"

Gaitan screamed in pain and quickly threw out two cards.

[Name: Black Stone Shield]

[Description: Summon three Silver Golems]

Three huge silver puppets fell from the sky, barely blocking three monsters.

"Damn it, let’s go for it!"

Gaitan started drawing cards and threw them out one by one, frantically stacking armor and boosting his stats.

He must defeat this little monster before the silver golems finish the battle…

This little monster forgot one thing… that is, time!

Bang!

Suddenly, sharp claws appeared on Gaitan’s hands, and he laughed loudly, "Prepare to die!"

He leapt into the air and chased after Karoso, as if his great axe wanted to cut everything in its path!

[Name: Slaughter Charge]

[Category: Spell]

[Star Level: 8]

[Grade: Purple Epic]

[Occupational Restriction: Warrior]

[Description: The warrior’s charge can cross mountains and seas, moving forward with an unstoppable belief!]

At that moment, Gaitan’s speed sliced through time and space; all he could see was one belief: to slay the Karoso before him.

Then, Karoso took out the second Light Seal Sword…

Bang!

Three light swords hit Gaitan’s chest armor, and the armor innocently left Gaitan’s body, surrounded by the three swords.

Gaitan’s chest armor was sealed for ten minutes.

"Damn!" Gaitan forgot that the Epic Card can hold two cards.

At the same time, Karoso pulled out another identical Killing Charge and rushed towards Gaitan.

This is the carefree nature of the Card Maker; he can use any card…

Bang!

The two clashed again, swords and axes locked in a standstill.

Just at that moment, Karoso suddenly pulled out a pistol from his pocket; this was the weapon he had summoned from the sea.

[Name: Ancient Dust Revolver]

[Category: Equipment]

[Star Level: 8]

[Grade: Golden Legend]

[Occupational Restriction: Card Maker]

[Description: Is there really a revolver for roaming?]

Now is the time!

Bang!

With one shot, Gaitan’s helmet flew off, and all the armor he had stacked was pierced by a single bullet.

Gaitan finally understood why Karoso removed the death energy and forcefully changed his fighting style.

He is using me as a practice partner!

Karoso’s sword was held against the prince’s neck, and at that moment, the prince was completely defeated.

"Leave all the supplies behind and… get back to Persia."
