Chapter 568 Wendy vs. Sera
When Lucy encountered Silver, it was on a street in the southern part of the Principality of Veronica.
After setting up the card magic, Wendy began her relaxed and enjoyable shopping spree.
Xia Lulu perched on her small shoulder, and the two of them weaved through the bustling crowd.
The adorable group occasionally attracted passersby to stop and watch, and even the burly vendors who were constantly drinking on both sides of the street couldn't help but lower their voices and show gentle, knowing smiles on their faces.
Wendy instinctively stopped in her tracks as she passed a stall with balloons hanging from a wooden board.
"Kids, want to play? Hit a certain number of balloons and you can choose your favorite plush toy!"
The stall owner, a middle-aged man wearing a vest, saw Wendy's interest in the shooting game and smiled, pointing to the toy guns on the stall. "It only costs 100J per shot."
"Charlu, let's give it a try!" Wendy's eyes lit up as she looked at the plush toys piled in the corner.
The mature Xia Lulu naturally looked down on this kind of little game, but she couldn't resist Wendy's liking for it: "Well, the work is done, you can play if you want."
After saying that, she took out a hundred-yuan bill from her backpack and handed it to the shopkeeper.
"Take that pink gun, aim and pull the trigger. Good luck." The shopkeeper chuckled as he took the money.
Having received all sorts of out-of-town mages, he was quite knowledgeable and didn't care why a white cat could not only talk but also manage money.
"Okay!" Wendy nodded emphatically and obediently picked up the pink toy gun in front of her and held it in her hand.
Following Alzak's posture, she squinted slightly and stared intently at the balloons on the wooden wall.
Once the muzzle was firmly locked on the target without any deviation or tremor, she confidently pulled the trigger.
With a "whoosh," the plastic bullet shot out of the barrel, tracing a precise trajectory through the air, and then—
It struck the blank area of the wooden board directly.
"Ugh—" Wendy's mouth instantly pursed.
I was clearly learning Mr. Alzak's gun magic, so how come the deviation is so big at such a close distance?
I
The little girl's competitive spirit immediately surfaced, and she fired several more shots in succession.
Unfortunately, even after all the bullets in the gun were fired, the expected sound of the balloon bursting never came.
Mr. Hardwood Plank took on all of it.
"Aha, ahaha, it's okay, it is a bit difficult for beginners."
The shopkeeper scratched his head and smiled, comforting him, "Why don't you try again? I won't charge you."
Although he could be considered an unscrupulous businessman, having tampered with most of the guns, Wendy was just too adorable, so he specifically reminded her to use the pink gun that was fine.
Unexpectedly, it was still completely empty.
To Wendy, these words sounded more like a dismissive attitude towards her "skills" and an absolute confidence in her abilities.
So, to prove it wasn't her fault, she puffed out her cheeks as if in a fit of pique and unleashed a super mini version of a dragon's roar at the balloon.
Bang~!
The entire row of balloons hanging on the wooden board was affected and cleared out instantly!
Boss: "————"
"Oh? I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to!" Wendy, regaining her senses, quickly bowed and apologized.
Because of the large movement, I accidentally bumped my head on the corner of the table: "Ouch—"
Xia Lulu raised her paw to her forehead and sighed helplessly.
The shopkeeper was charmed by the impulsive yet polite girl, and generously stepped aside to show all the dolls behind him: "Since you've already hit them, just pick one of the dolls."
"But I used magic—" Wendy covered her forehead.
"What does it matter? If it hits, it hits."
The boss clenched his fist, a serious expression appearing on his slightly weathered face, his eyes shining. "After all, cuteness is justice!"
Xia Lulu suddenly wanted to pull Wendy away from this strange middle-aged man.
Wendy lowered her head sadly, staring at her toes and getting lost in emo.
Yes, the view is completely unobstructed.
She once overheard Wakaba and Macao chatting, saying that men complimented girls as cute but not sexy.
Influenced by Mira, Erza, and especially Lucy, the little girl is extremely concerned about her figure, even with Edola Wendy as a heavy example.
"We don't need the dolls, Wendy, let's go somewhere else—"
Just as Xia Lulu was about to pull Wendy out of the resentful background, her pupils suddenly contracted and her voice abruptly stopped.
Deep in her mind, a terrifying scene unfolded without warning: amidst the flames-ravaged ruins of a city, Eclair, tears welling in her eyes, transformed into countless specks of light and vanished into the gloomy, dark sky; beside her, Lucy knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly—
"What's going on? Why?" Xia Lulu clutched her head in pain.
The sadness is transmitted directly through the ability to foresee the future; it's not an illusion, but rather—
Someone really died!
Before Xia Lulu could even make out the scene clearly and distinguish whether it was the real Eclair or Chess using transformation magic, another chilling coldness came from the depths of the street, instantly drowning out the lively and cheerful atmosphere around her!
"A little girl and a cat? It seems my story is going to start in a way that's even more boring than I imagined."
A woman with pale skin and black hair, dressed in a kimono and high stockings, with distinctive horns on her head, slowly walked out from the crowd.
Bare feet make no sound when they step on the ground, but with each step, the surrounding temperature drops a few degrees.
"So beautiful!"
The boss, who had just declared that cuteness is justice, instantly changed his stance, his eyes popping out with his own special kind of heart, without even noticing anything amiss.
The old pervert no longer pretends.
Wendy and Charlotte, recognizing the man's identity, were on high alert and quickly stepped forward to protect him behind them.
"Nine Ghost Gates of the Underworld, Liangyuetian·Sera".
Sera stopped, her casual gaze sweeping over Wendy and Charlotte before settling on the stall owner. Her voice was cold and calm as she spoke, "Ready to become a fairy with broken wings in a story?"
The next second, the infatuated boss's expression suddenly changed drastically. In the depths of his wide eyes, the love in his heart shattered and turned into a violent scarlet color.
Not only him, but also the passersby around them, after a shudder, turned around and stared at Wendy and Charlotte with deep malice!
This is Sera's unique command spell, which can command humans to lose their ability to take care of themselves and become slaves that she can control at will!
The crowd, their faces filled with terror and completely unaware of what was happening, surrounded Wendy and Charlotte like hungry wolves.
"Will they simply be torn apart by their own kind, or will they retaliate cruelly to survive?"
Sera coldly raised a finger and slowly pressed it down. "Order: Kill them."
"Awooooo!!"
In an instant, the controlled humans let out a strange cry and rushed straight towards Wendy and Charlotte.
However, the "story" that Sera longed to see did not unfold. A dazzling golden light burst forth, and a vast array of card magic circles continuously lit up around it.
Wherever the golden light passed, all the crazed humans vanished without a trace.
A cold wind swept by, and the once bustling street instantly fell into a deathly silence.
"How could this be? My command spell—the connection has been severed?" A hint of surprise finally appeared on Sera's indifferent face.
"Demons of the underworld, don't try to threaten us with innocent inhabitants!" Wendy said.
"Although it's annoying sometimes, the card dealer's magic is really effective," Xia Lulu exclaimed.
If they hadn't known about the demons of the Underworld Gate beforehand, and if Chase's card magic hadn't been a backup plan, the situation they just faced would have been quite troublesome.
"How dare you rewrite the script I had prepared—"
Sera's face darkened, and a sinister curse surged forth, forming a black storm. "Damn humans, do you know what the consequences of doing this will be?!"
