83: Chapter 83 Shadow Cards

"Uncle! Uncle, I knew you would come back!" The little girl's eyes sparkled with excitement the moment she saw Chen Mo appear in his magnificent white outfit.

Anna Catherine was also greatly shocked to see Chen Mo standing in mid-air.

"Sam, you! You really have been keeping things from me. Have you been secretly studying magic every day?"

Anna Catherine had been terrified a second ago, but upon seeing Chen Mo, her expression immediately shifted to one of anger.

"I've been practicing magic in secret just for this day, so that I would have the chance to protect you."

Hearing Chen Mo say this, Anna Catherine's face immediately flushed a little.

If Chen Mo had learned magic purely for his own sake, she might have thrown a tantrum.

But hearing that Chen Mo did it for her, Anna immediately felt quite pleased.

"Even if it was for me, you still shouldn't have kept it a secret from me!"

"Uh..." Chen Mo was speechless.

So, it's my fault no matter what, huh?

"Could you two please pick a better time to show off your affection? Do you take me for invisible?" Vincent's voice came from below.

"Sorry, I overlooked you, Teacher Vincent." Chen Mo greeted Vincent.

"Sam? How did you get in here?"

Vincent looked at the clock hanging opposite him. There were still 5 minutes until 3:15 AM, which was the rule of the item. Even Amy Seeger couldn't enter.

"You'll have to ask your loyal servant about that."

Chen Mo gave a light tug with his little finger.

Another woman dressed in white was flung out from the mirror.

The woman's body was tightly bound with steel wires, her mouth taped shut, and she looked at Vincent with eyes full of grievance.

"The Hanged Ghost? Heh, I understand now."

"You used my slave to travel through another mirror, successfully breaking the rules."

"Sam, you are indeed very smart and very cunning, but so am I!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

What do you mean 'so am I'?

Shouldn't you be following up with something like, "Sam, but in the face of absolute power, you can only die!"?

The two wolf hands of Vincent that had been pierced by steel wires suddenly showed fractures.

Using some unknown method, he severed his own hands and discarded them.

The two severed hands fell to the floor, successfully breaking free from the restraint of the steel wires.

As for the steel wires wrapped around his waist, layers of halos appeared on the outside of Vincent's body, sounding like "boom-boom" drumbeats.

After flashing repeatedly, his body gradually shrank.

The steel wires naturally detached from the surface of his body.

The elegant Vincent, dressed in a black suit, stood below Chen Mo.

"So, Sam, my good student, are you here to seek advice from your teacher?" Vincent smiled.

"That's right, I want to see just how big the gap is between me at level 9... and you at level 20!"

"Anna, Little Red Riding Hood, take those people and get out of here quickly."

Chen Mo waved his palm, and five black cards appeared at his fingertips. While leaping sideways in the air, he threw them rapidly at Vincent.

Vincent also waved his palm, five black cards appearing at his fingertips, and threw them rapidly toward Chen Mo's cards.

The 10 black cards collided with each other, their sharp edges sparking. A piercing sonic boom erupted in the air.

However, to Chen Mo's surprise, his own black cards were truly vulnerable before Vincent.

Chen Mo's five black cards were forcibly pierced through by Vincent's cards, as easily as slicing through a piece of paper.

Every one of Chen Mo's cards was split in two from the middle, and then Vincent's cards turned into pitch-black afterimages, spinning and slicing toward Chen Mo's head.

The Magician class trait enhanced Chen Mo's coordination, allowing him to perform various high-difficulty contortionist moves. It could be called an extreme dodge.

After dodging the first round of attacks, Chen Mo had assumed the cards would pierce into the wall opposite him.

To his surprise, those five black cards turned into pitch-black shadows and drilled directly into the interior of the wall.

Afterward, Vincent activated a recall. Chen Mo could feel that those cards seemed to have returned, but he had no way of judging where the surprise attack would come from!

The entire Villa was shrouded in pitch-black shadows. Chen Mo held his breath, raised his palm, and steel wires circled before him.

A card suddenly shot out from the shadows of the ceiling. Chen Mo raised his hand to block it with steel wires.

Just as he deflected this card, another black card suddenly shot out from under Chen Mo's feet, slicing directly upward along his chin.

Chen Mo tilted his neck back, and the card slid rapidly past his Adam's apple before drilling back into the ceiling.

Vincent raised his fingers, making a gesture like ten thousand arrows being fired at once.

Five black cards emerged from shadows at different angles, shooting toward Chen Mo's head and limbs, preparing to dismember Chen Mo directly.

"Damn it! Teacher, stop holding back, save my neck!" Chen Mo shouted for help.

"Heh, I told you, you have to use magic to defeat magic, but you insisted on using your own little tricks."

"Now you know the gap in levels, don't you?"

A flash of white light instantly shot out from the mirror, and five golden streams of light fired out, directly shattering all of Vincent's cards.

Amy Seeger transformed into a golden flash and shot out from the mirror.

She raised her staff, stars lighting up, and flew directly in front of Vincent.

Vincent wore a look of shock, wanting to raise his hand to block.

However, the intense white flash had finished charging, and a twisted blue electrical beam shot out from it, directly piercing through Vincent's head.

The violent current carried Vincent's body, slamming him rapidly into the wall behind him.

The entire wall collapsed with a roar, and Vincent's body flew backward for over ten meters, buried by the rubble collapsing from above.

"Phew... damn, I almost got dismembered from the neck down."

Chen Mo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and came to Amy Seeger's side.

"Teacher, why couldn't my black cards defeat Vincent's?"

"No! Your item has already been destroyed. As long as one black card is damaged, the entire deck loses its system and is automatically eliminated."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo reached into his pants pocket and pulled out his black cards.

He discovered that the remaining black cards all had cracks in them as well.

At this moment, the item information had changed. [Item: black cards (Damaged), ID: None]

Chen Mo immediately wanted to slap himself twice. Just because of curiosity about the level gap, he had directly lost one of his powerful items.

By the way... what does this "Damaged" mean?

[Many Children Many Blessings' item has been destroyed, but his expression doesn't seem particularly sad.]

[I still remember after my first item was destroyed, I cried for three days and three nights, just like experiencing a perfunctory breakup!]

[I can still remember what it looked like, it used to be round and soft, but now it has already been eaten by me. Can't help it, who knew this item would be so delicious after breaking.]

[The black cards have turned from an item into materials. When you reach level 20 for class advancement, you might need Magician-type materials to complete the advancement.]

[Vice Group Leader: What's there to be sad about? If the old doesn't go, the new won't come. I think those 'shadow cards' of Vincent's are quite good.]
