The air seemed to freeze, oppressive enough to suffocate.
In the darkness, Bagnell's white teeth gleamed brilliantly. He chuckled. "Let's leave our friends a little souvenir."
His right hand made a strange gesture, and the order was immediately relayed.
Yu Guo's expression changed, a flicker of anger crossing his eyes. But the pressure on him abruptly tightened, and he forcibly restrained the urge to attack!
Ah! Three screams rang out! Of the five Card Adepts behind him, three were struck by the sudden attack and fell from the sky. Six kinds of energy constructs!

The energy constructs the enemy fired were all different-the hallmark of a Card Adept corps. Unlike the military, Card Adept corps had no standardized cards to use, and their personnel changed frequently. Their cards were their own property. As a result, the energy constructs fired by a Card Adept corps came in a bewildering variety, one reason their combat strength generally could not compare with an army's.
