Chapter 14 - RUA!
"Where... is this?"
Melonica looked around in shock and confusion.
There's bottomless water in front of her. The water is as calm as a mirror, shining with a strange blue and white light. The surroundings were shrouded in darkness, with only a bright white moonlight shining down from above, suspended in the sky like a lurking ghost.
Even as she stood on the water, she couldn't feel her feet sinking beneath.
Being in such a place, an inexplicable fear arose in her heart.
"Hyuuu..."
A gust of evening wind blew up, stirring up waves and extinguishing the flames on her body.
Taking a careful step forward, the water rippled, but no sound came out. She tried to leave this strange place, but no matter which direction she walked, the surrounding scene did not change at all.
As she felt as if there was an invisible hand quietly controlling everything about her, the fear in her heart gradually escalated.
The white moonlight rotates forward.
A house flashed past not far away, and feeling like she found the answer, a faint hope surged in her heart.
"Sanbai Board and Card Games?"
Melonica was stunned in front of the store.
A card shop? They opened a card shop here?
Who are they selling to, ghosts?
Doubts visible on her face, she stepped into the card shop, and as if there was no resistance, the door opened unusually easily.
A light aroma wafts into her nose, making her feel comfortable and a bit weirded out.
The layout of the store is quite unlike other card stores. Under the dim lights, there are ordinary wooden tables and chairs, not the usual mechanical tables dedicated to duels.
There are glass counters lined up on both sides, with various card frames scattered inside, including ones with gold and silver edges.
The cards inside have already been taken out.
The wall clock on the wall moved very slowly, making a ticking sound every second, as if to remind the passage of time.
Just as she was looking around, a figure stood up behind the store manager's counter. He was tall and thin, dressed in black, and his voice was low and sinister, piercing her soul right to the core.
"Welcome."
Hiss!
Melonica took a breath, her pupils widened, and the hair on her body stood on end.
This store manager... He has no face!
He's literally and physically faceless!
His voice was covered by a thick layer of fog, and his voice didn't sound like it could be made by a human being.
"Evil Spirit!?"
She quickly took out two Magic Cards and held them in her hands.
But at that moment, she was quickly shocked...
She couldn't use
As if it was shackled, she couldn't mobilize the Ba in her body.
Not being able to use
A Card Master without their Magic Cards is almost as helpless as a delicate, easily-toppled loli.
"Who are you? Where is this?" Suppressing her fear, Melonica said.
Forcibly showing a strong aura.
She's not afraid of death, what she's afraid of...
——–is the fact that she was cute!
Don't panic!
Let's be calm... Be calm!
Luo Bai, on the other hand, saw her suddenly take out two crystal Magic Cards.
His eyes widened and secretly whispered to himself:
"D*mn, it's a Card Master!"
He still knows a bit about Biantana's common sense. Card Masters can control Kas to fight by crushing Magic Cards. Most of them are ruthless people who kill without blinking an eye.
They aren't a useless waste like him.
Heck, his Guardian Card isn't bound yet!
What he's facing now is a person that kills people and steals goods in minutes...
Luo Bai looked at the other party carefully. She was about 6 meters tall, with long light blonde hair and red pupils. She was holding an umbrella and was wearing a black-and-white lolita dress. She had fair skin and looked extremely elegant and delicate, like a noble.
A vampire lady?
Don't panic!
Let's be calm... Be calm!
"Me?" Luo Bai pretended like a profound master.
That deep and serious demeanor was perfectly executed.
"I'm the Store Manager here."
"This is the
"Alterlife Shop?"
Melonica frowned, suddenly feeling like she was being stared at by an evil spirit, causing her whole body to tingle.
"RUA!"
She bared her teeth at him and growled in warning.
Unexpectedly, her warning instead seemed to have made the rude man in front of her excited, a blush appearing on his cheeks.
He's a d*mn pervert!
"She's so cute, I kinda want to... No, those fangs seem to be real. Forget it, feels like it's gonna hurt." Luo Bai was secretly surprised. After gathering his emotions, he lowered his voice and spoke.
"Confused visitor, do you want to buy cards?"
"Cards..." Creepy he may be, feeling that he wasn't hostile, Melonica felt a little relieved. She glanced at the cabinets and the front desk around her, and there was not even a mechanical duel table set up. She frowned more and more, "Do you have any cards for sale?"
Luo Bai got embarrassed on the spot when he was told this.
Indeed, the shop was about to close down when he got isekaid here, so it's not surprising she'd point this out.
"Haha, I still have some left."
"What archetype do you like?"
"What archetype..." Melonica understood his words, but her Deck's archetype was rare.
This isn't a Fortress in the
"I want cards of the Vampire archetype, but can you... sell such cards to me?" Melonica asked tentatively.
What if the store manager is a fool, and he actually has such cards and is willing to sell them?
"Ohh, Vampires~~" Luo Bai looked at her clothes and completely understood the meaning.
There are actually still people who play this ancient deck.
"I'll have a look, I might not necessarily have Vampires..." Luo Bai crouched down, rummaging through the suitcase and muttered, "Just to clarify, what I'm selling are playing cards..."
He has no Magic Cards to sell at the moment.
"Playing cards?"
Melonica's eyebrows furrowed at the unusual way he referred to Magic Cards.
In Biantana, creating and selling Magic Cards is a serious crime and a blasphemous act.
Kas are great creations of the God
(T/N: Ciella / 撒耶拉 / Sāyélā, don't know if she's an actual yugioh card/character or an OC)
"Ah, found it.
"Pak." He placed the ordinary card box on the table without an expression on his face.
At that moment though, a violent heartbeat echoed, as if her consciousness had been dispersed by a shockwave, and Melonica's heart and lungs stopped abruptly.
Her face turned pale, her eyes were wide and blank, her mouth was slightly gaping, her lips and teeth showing, and her breathing became more rapid.
She wanted to say something, but she was too frightened to speak.
The card box before her continued to emit that heartbeat sound, which seemed only she could hear. It was the call and the suppression of an Ancestor towards their Descendants.
Her whole body gradually becomes cold.
Melonica couldn't help but hug herself, but her gaze was constantly drawn to the card box, like a wild cat seeing a baby shark, feeling a mix of fear and temptation.
"W- What are you..."
She turned towards Luo Bai's face covered in fog, her eyes filled with awe.
She backed away step by step, not even daring to look at the card box directly.
The Vampires, also known as the Clan of Blood, have a distinct hierarchy and a very obvious desire and respect for blood.
Luo Bai : ? ? ?
What the heck is this?
Did he really look that scary?
"How about giving it a try?"
Luo Bai suddenly thought of something and suggested.
Any doubts or conflicts between the duelists can be resolved with a duel. If the conversation isn't finished after a round, then they can swap things out with their Side Deck for a best-of-three match.
"Giving it a try?" Melonica frowned.
Her lips were pale and her eyes were wandering, completely losing her previous calmness and elegance.
"A duel. You have brought your Deck, right?" Luo Bai's duel addiction flared again.
Duels with strangers always make him particularly excited. He couldn't help looking forward to what Deck the other party would use, what Deck build they would use, and what interesting chains there would be.
Thus, a duel invitation has been raised.
At his words, Melonica's eyes suddenly became sharp, suppressing her fear, she pointed at the
"Yes, if I win, that card box will be mine."
She knew very well that this card box possessed the Ancestral Power she longed for. She would definitely not be able to afford its normal price, so she had to resort to this risky move.
It's just as Grandma had told her... If you find an opportunity, seize it!
She had to consider whether this would be her only chance in her lifetime.
"Oh?" Luo Bai raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"What if I win though?"
"Shouldn't you place down a chip of equal value?"
