Arcana Mob

Chapter 50 Ch 50 : Changes

As Cade's hand glowed, a card appeared on Cade's hand with the image of a headless knight, followed by the appearance of Spectre Dullahan.

Spectre Dullahan looked around sillily before it eventually turned its head on Cade, a bit confused.

" Kyuu!!!???"

" No, there are no enemies. I just called you here because recently I felt we haven't got that much time to bond.."

" Kyu!!!"

Spectre Dullahan was excited. The moment Cade said those words, he immediately jumped on its master.

Though the scene of a headless armored knight cuddling around a university student was not a good sight, and Cade was grateful that he had booked an entire room to himself, he still chose not to avoid and let himself be tackled by Spectre Dullahan.

" Kyuu!!!"

" I know, I also miss those times. However, we can't always stay in the past, right?"

Although these Arcane Cards were not as smart as adult humans, they were still quite clever with strong learning abilities. And Spectre Dullahan currently had the intelligence of a small playful kid.

The sudden change of situation was a bit startling to him. He was always playing the supporting role before, but now he was standing head to head against the enemy, killing them without mercy. Yet for Cade's sake, he had decided to go through all of it, and only now he could grumble a bit.

Looking at the Spectre Dullahan being like this, Cade couldn't help but chuckle. Just like Elsa, he was always there with him from the start, and even though Cade could not see the affection meter like in the game, he had a hunch that his affection with Spectre Dullahan would not go below 80.

After comforting Spectre Dullahan, Cade took out something from his pocket, then fed Spectre Dullahan.

It was the magic core of a monster, which normally would help an Arcane Card grow.

Though he knew that it would not help Spectre Dullahan in the slightest, Cade still didn't feel that it was wasteful.

After all, Spectre Dullahan deserved some of this after all his hard work.

But at this time, something happened.

Fuzzily, eyes closed, Cade sensed a fragile ideological dimension.

The space was like Grigory's special room, yet it was much smaller and weaker.

It did not take long for Cade to realize that this should be Spectre Dullahan's mind space. But the question was, how could he be here?

Deep in the ideological dimension, there seemed to hide a timid soul.

The moment Cade tried to move. That timid soul trembled, then shrank. It was like a lonely kid huddling himself together in the dark.

The dark night outside the window made the kid nervous. Only by hugging himself could he feel some warmth.

Soon, the dark night changed, it was still dark outside, yet he could see a trace of warmness spreading around. Floating around was the memory of when Cade first summoned Spectre Dullahan, but what was this?

Even in the game, Cade didn't remember there was something like this.

' Was this the first time I met with Spectre? What the heck is this?'

The clock ticked away. Spectre's soul was still hiding in the corner of its ideological dimension.

The connection between them suddenly broke. Cade opened his eyes, looking at Spectre, which had now turned into Spectre Dullahan helplessly.

In front of him, Spectre Dullahan seemed not to know what happened just then. Sitting happily in Cade's lap, it ate the monster core that Cade had given to him.

When it saw Cade was looking at him intently, it smiled as it offered the monster core that was half-eaten.

" No, it's okay. You could eat all of them."

" Kyuu!!!"

Watching Spectre Dullahan eating happily like this, Cade's mind couldn't help but be thrown back to a few months ago, when they hadn't met Grigory yet.

They have gone so far from that time, but at the same time, it was also just the start of their journey.

He still had a lot to do, and his father and his enemies were still there outside.

While Cade was reminiscing about the past, unknowingly, a change began to occur in his Arcane Card.

On the back of the card that had the Spectre Dullahan's image on it, a new few words were carved.

[ Spectre Dullahan the II ]

[ Rank: (III)/(IV) ]

[ Dullahans are headless, and wherever one stops, a mortal's death soon follows. A dullahan will stop its snorting horse before the door of a house and shout the name of the person about to die, drawing forth the soul at the call. He may also stop at the very spot where a person will die. After the second fusion, Spectre Dullahan realized its ability to call other phantoms. ]

[ Special Skill: Erosion Flame, Sword Thrust, Phantom Call, (Bond Skill) Permaclone.]

. . . . . . .

Tiiriing— Tiiriing—

When Cade returned back to his dorm, he noticed that his phone was full of messages.

At first, he had intended to ignore them, but as the number kept increasing, he also began to slightly get annoyed.

[Umm.. is this Cade, do you have any plans to sell a study guide?]

[Sorry to intrude on you this late Cade. But can you please give me some notes? Well for you to know, my father is…]

' Ah.. I see. It was already this time huh?'

The rumor about Cade being a Genius Arcane Card Specialist plus how he was able to Ace the university entrance exam surely has spread around, and it was natural that lots of people would start sucking up to him.

Heck, some people even brought their family name.

Nonetheless, Cade was not the type to reject such an opportunity.

Call him capitalist or anything, but wouldn't this be another chance to get another extra pocket money.

With a smile growing on his face, he began to reply to each message.

[ Hi *Name*. I'm very happy to share my notes with you. But of course, I know that you wouldn't like to owe me. Therefore, as a token of friendship, I would charge you a very low rate. As of now, I am selling my notes for $100 per subject. Please contact me if you are interested. Sincerely, Cade.]
