WEEBCENTRAL CULLING GAMES EP 19: INCREDIBLE LUCK AT TOKYO NO. 2 COLONY PART 5

[November 12th, 9:40 AM. Tokyo No. 2 Colony] TheFool let out a long, slow breath. "The Plasma King is a sorcerer born to alter the fundamental axis of the world. It seems this era is incredibly lucky to have him... but not quite right now, if he is incapacitated." Zenstone nodded. "Fine," TheFool declared. He extended his hand toward her. "I will add a new clause to our contract. I will help you find a way to awaken him. Now, with all of my proposals laid bare, let's form an alliance. Be my first ally!" Zenstone looked at the offered hand, considering the sheer risk of trusting someone. Before she could raise her arm, the glass windows of the office building violently shattered inward. The swarm had arrived. Using "Phased Hopper",the Special Grade Cursed Spirit, ObamaCricket, kicked off the atmospheric friction itself. The sudden release of acoustic pressure generated a localized sonic boom, catching Zenstone dead in the center of its concussive trap. Her equilibrium was instantly destroyed. The raw kinetic force launched her across the alleyway like a broken doll, sending her crashing brutally through the 2nd-story window of a dilapidated apartment complex. Watching from the adjacent roof.TheFool prepared to leap after her, his CE gathering in his legs to intercept the horrifying Cursed Spirit. Before his muscles could twitch . A figure blurred into existence to him, Ellie's clone swung a heavy, CE-imbued Cursed Tool directly at TheFool’s neck. The ancient sorcerer didn't even turn his head. He simply raised his hand, catching the razor-sharp blade bare-handed. The sheer density of his CE reinforcement stopped the weapon dead in its tracks, the kinetic impact sending a shockwave through the rooftop. Across the street, perched on a fire escape, NovaShaddyck frowned. "I thought the Zenstone girl was our target. Why do we need to fight this incarnated sorcerer?" Ellie kept his eyes locked on TheFool as his clone shattered into shadows under the ancient sorcerer's grip. "Zenstone doesn't stand a chance against that Cricket. She will surely die in that building. But if we don't stall this man, he will inevitably rescue her. Our mission is to ensure her elimination." NovaShaddyck grunted in agreement. He dropped from the fire escape, landing heavily on the rooftop across from TheFool. He unsheathed his katana, his CE flaring as he dropped his center of gravity. "New Shadow Style: Simple Domain." Despite being an elite of the prestigious Kamo Clan, NovaShaddyck was born without a CT. To compensate, he dedicated his life to the absolute mastery of the blade, seamlessly integrating his swordsmanship with the anti-domain barrier technique. Anyone who stepped within his 2.21-meter radius would trigger an instantaneous, automatic, and unavoidable lethal slash. TheFool looked at the swordsman,"How quaint." He raised his right hand, index and middle fingers extended. "Cursed Technique: Fool’s Gambit".Unlike modern, hyper-specific techniques, Fool's Gambit operates on the ancient principles of risk and reward. The user manifests a deck of 22 cards constructed of pure CE, representing the Major Arcana. However, the user cannot choose their weapons. They must draw a hand of 3 cards entirely at random. By voluntarily relinquishing control to chance, the user enacts a powerful Binding Vow that drastically multiplies the CE output and effectiveness of the drawn card's phenomenon. A spectral deck materialized, orbiting TheFool’s wrist. He drew a card. The image of a man holding a wand over a table of elements burned brightly in the air. Card I: The Magician. "Let us see if you can withstand this," TheFool whispered. The Magician grants the ability of Elemental Shift, transmuting the user's raw CE trait into highly lethal elements for a duration of exactly 1 min. NovaShaddyck braced himself as TheFool vanished. He reappeared instantly at the edge of the Simple Domain, moving with terrifying speed. NovaShaddyck’s automatic slash triggered, the katana moving faster than the human eye could track. But it cut through nothing but air and superheated plasma. TheFool had transmuted his massive CE reserves entirely into an explosive wave of pure, white-hot fire. The sudden, localized temperature spike instantly boiled the oxygen inside the Simple Domain. NovaShaddyck's eyes widened in sheer shock, but the heat was too fast. The fire consumed him in a fraction of a sec, incinerating his flesh and turning the elite swordsman to ash before he could even scream. Ellie watched in absolute horror from the adjacent roof. "Nova!". 3 more elite Kamo sorcerers touched down onto the battlefield, their CE signatures flaring aggressively: Sorasl, Camille hovering slightly on a heavily reinforced broom, and TexasMoon, who arrived atop a massive, CE-mutated stallion. "Good thing you three arrived.Attack him continuously! Do not let him breathe, and prepare to retreat!" Ellie commanded.
