Chapter 30 Rampage! Demon Mirajane!
"Bad luck?"
Marshall spread his arms and sneered, "It seems that you, as a card mage, haven't realized the seriousness of the problem!"
Through the Holy Light Seal Sword and the Hexagram Binding spell he had just used, he confirmed Chesca's identity as a card mage.
This caused his confidence to swell to its peak in an instant, because...
The Void Drum of the Eighteen War Gods, which controls spatial magic, is the absolute nemesis of other-dimensional mages like Celestial Spirits and Cards!
"Neh...Ira...Dowellgu..."
"Radoka...Spudokore!"
The Drum of the Sky chanted an ancient incantation, and a distorted, chaotic green light shot into the sky, forming a massive barrier that enveloped the entire island.
In this realm, any spatial magic will be sealed off and rendered useless!
This is the difference between Marshall, who possesses the true form of the Sky Drum, and Clooney, who is a complete fraud.
—He can use even more ancient and forbidden magic that has never appeared in this world!
"This space is now under my control, my dear Chase. Want to test if your lousy cards still work?"
Marshall lowered his head, looking down at Chase standing on the beach with a mocking expression.
Has space been dominated?
Chase frowned, his consciousness sinking deep into the deck.
Both monster cards and spell/trap cards floated calmly, and the familiar magical connection remained unaffected.
He can still sense the existence of the deck and can summon it at any time.
That's right, my magic is the Duelist's Soul, so what do I care if you restrict the space of the Card Mage?
The bond between duelists and their decks cannot be so easily severed!
Nevertheless, Chase was in no hurry to use the cards. Instead, he glanced at Mira, who was clenching her fists and looking at him with a worried expression, out of the corner of his eye.
Perhaps this is a golden opportunity...
After making up his mind, Chase took a deep breath, drew out the card with a practiced air, and attempted to summon it, then his expression changed drastically.
"Damn it, it really doesn't work!"
Seeing this, Mira's unease deepened.
Marshall, on the other hand, was overjoyed, his piercing laughter like thunder.
"I never expected that the imposing S-class mage from Fairy Tail would make such a delightful expression, hahaha!"
"Since you managed to make me laugh, Chase, after I capture you, I'll spare your life so you can watch as everything you cherish is reduced to ashes by the demon's fist!"
After saying that, Marshall, whose eyes were filled with a fierce light, said no more.
He bent his knees and leaped with great force, covering a distance of over a hundred meters, his massive feet stomping heavily on the area where Chase was standing.
Instantly, sand and stones flew everywhere, and the earth rumbled!
Deep within the smoke and dust, Chase carried Mira as they darted through the scattered, flying rubble.
This time he didn't gain any advantage. After retreating to a relatively safe area, he gently put Mira down as soon as possible.
"Mira, stay here and don't move."
"Don't worry, even if I can't use cards, I still have a pair of fists strong enough to shatter the darkness!"
Chase clenched his fists and gave Mira a bright smile.
Mira was about to speak when all she could see was a resolute figure standing there.
"Hey! Marshall! Let me teach you a lesson..."
In the blink of an eye, Chase appeared in front of Marshall's enormous demon head.
Its speed was so fast that it completely overturned Marshall's conventional understanding of card mages, leaving him stunned and unable to react for a moment.
"Fists are also a deadly weapon for card mages!!"
By the time Marshall came to his senses and tried to retaliate, Chase's powerful, comet-like fist had already landed on his cheek!
A simple, unadorned punch unleashed a gust of wind, knocking Marshall's head to the side and sending his massive body flying as it crashed heavily into a basin deep within the island, causing a commotion!
Almost instantly, the massive body dispersed the dust and smoke, and the shadow it cast completely enveloped Chase, who was suspended in mid-air.
After acquiring the body of a demon, Marshall's speed was also enhanced, and he was no longer as clumsy as when fighting the Dark Magician Girl.
Boom!
Chase used the recoil from a powerful punch to his side to avoid Marshall's fatal stomp.
However, Marshall immediately changed tactics, twisting his massive body 360 degrees and delivering a powerful flying kick straight at Chase.
Despite Chase's immediate attempt to block with his arms crossed, he was still kicked away by the massive, ship-like foot, smashing through several hills in his path!
Marshall gave him no time to catch his breath, gathering magic power in his palm, and immediately countless spatial spells fell from the sky, crashing towards Chase's landing point.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
The deafening explosion echoed throughout the entire island.
Chase skillfully maneuvered through the attacks of the chaotic beams of light.
As he closed the distance between himself and Marshall, his right fist surged with magical power.
Marshall instantly understood his thoughts, and moved his arm to his waist, also gathering his strength.
Finally, as Chase leaped high into the air amidst the explosion, his two fists, vastly different in size, collided violently in mid-air, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that swept in all directions!
Unfortunately, the human body was ultimately no match for the monstrous strength of the Demon God.
Chase, who hadn't used any of his card abilities, was sent flying on the spot. A chaotic vortex appeared behind him as he flew backward, sucking him into it.
"Heh, now I finally know the real reason why Clooney failed..."
Marshall, his expression grim, slowly walked towards the immobilized Chase. "As a card mage, to possess such combat abilities, you truly are a monster!"
He did a quick analysis and comparison.
If he hadn't awakened the Sky Drum beforehand, he would have had almost no chance against Chess with his original human strength alone!
However, this is just an assumption.
As expected, Chase has now become a lamb to the slaughter!
Marshall grew increasingly excited, a near-perverted, twisted smile spreading across his face as he reached out his massive arm and grabbed Chase in his palm.
"Tell me, how should I torture you?"
With just a little effort from Marshall, Chase felt as if his bones were about to shatter, letting out a painful roar.
"No, don't..."
Mira, who was watching from afar, had her pupils instantly lose focus, her delicate body trembled uncontrollably, and her heart felt like it was about to break.
Unlike card monsters, once Chase dies, it is a complete and utter annihilation.
Just like her sister Lisanna, all traces of her existence in the world will be erased!
Including the Dark Magician Girl, whom he had long regarded as his own sister, and a host of other card monster partners!
As her consciousness gradually approached collapse, the magic power that she had buried and sealed within her body began to go berserk.
Wisps of dark purple smoke drifted out.
"Oh?"
Marshall sensed the violent and oppressive aura and turned to look at Mira, who was clutching her head tightly with both hands. "I almost forgot, you're also a pretty good source of magic."
Thinking he had victory in his grasp, a twisted idea suddenly popped into his head, and he grabbed Chess and walked up to Mira.
He wanted Chase to witness firsthand how his beloved woman would die a horrible death right before his eyes!
A vast shadow of despair completely engulfed the girl who was on the verge of going berserk.
Mira stood frozen in place, completely motionless.
"Mira, quick, run away..."
Chess coughed up a mouthful of blood, forced a smile, and looked like he was about to die.
"Damn it, I really want... another cup of your... sweetened coffee..."
These last words, spoken before her death, shattered Mira's last remaining nerve.
"Aaaaaaaahh ...
Mira roared to the sky, her long white hair swaying wildly in the surging magical storm, with rubble floating around her.
As if a switch that had been dormant for many years had been flipped, black lightning surged, and a dark purple magic circle suddenly appeared above her head.
Immediately afterwards, Mira's clothes began to melt away little by little, and she was enveloped in dark-colored Satan armor.
A black line running across the cheek, a thick and powerful tail, and jet-black, sharp demon wings appeared one after another.
When the screams finally subsided, standing before Marshall were Fairy Tail's only two S-class female mages...
Demon Mirajane!
The surging magical aura gave Marshall a vague sense of foreboding.
—Especially that cold expression on their face, as if everyone else is trash!
Without hesitation, he gripped Chase's hand tightly, intending to end his life on the spot.
However, the expected scene of blood splattering on his palm did not appear.
"Disappeared? No! That's not right!"
Marshall was taken aback and looked up abruptly, only to see the white-haired woman who had been standing at his feet just moments before now appearing on the rocks by the sea a hundred meters away.
In her arms, she was still holding Chess, who should have been firmly in her grasp!
"This speed... how is that possible?!"
