"What did you say?!"
Giant Axe's eyes widened, and he looked utterly shocked.
His reaction was perfectly normal. He had originally thought it was merely an ordinary card game, only to suddenly learn that it was actually an Extraordinary Item. Giant Axe was already being remarkably calm.
Luo Chuan demonstrated it for Giant Axe through practical action.
He took a pale-blue crystal card box from his pocket. With a light snap of his fingers, pale-blue radiance flowed forth. Light without a source poured down like water, gathering and solidifying some distance away into a terrifying figure carrying immense pressure.
Its body seemed forged from flames and crimson lava, magma and molten iron flowing across its skin. Two enormous black-red horns rose from its forehead, and its armor too was bathed in endless fire, glowing a blazing red. In its hand, it held a strange weapon resembling a giant hammer.
"Let the flames purify everything!"
A furious roar rang out, and faintly, it seemed as though rolling heat waves were rushing toward them.
The weapon swung, and flames swept forth with it.
They were not mere illusions, but flames that truly existed!
"Playing with fire isn't a good habit, you know."
Another figure appeared. Her laughter was clear and pleasant. She looked like a beautiful woman with a serpent's tail, dressed in special blue clothing resembling scales, while the scales on her tail bore mysterious patterns.
Layer upon layer of surging waves echoed through the tavern. Translucent water formed a barrier before the flames, blocking every last bit of them outside.
With another light snap of his fingers, everything silently dispersed like flowers reflected in a mirror, the moon mirrored in water.
"This is part of what the card box can do." Luo Chuan spun the crystal card between his fingers.
