Arcana Mob

Chapter 9 Ch 9 : First Battle

Dark empty room, with two Big Guillotines in the center.

A place full of obscurity and fear, but for Cade, this was nothing more than his playground.

When all the delinquents' brothers gathered on the scene, they couldn't help but shudder.

Because in front of them, the one they thought was a weakling and trash, Cade was currently clashing with their leaders. And from the look of it, Cade was currently occupying the upper ground in this confrontation.

When the Arcane card in the Delinquent leader's hand lit up, an earthen yellow light shot into the sky.

"Roar!"

A big earth spike emerged behind the Dullahan, which it was currently battling.

However, there seemed to be no trace of panic in Cade's eyes.

The Dullahan turned its body around and straightened its stance. The sword in his hand was raised high, and the blue burning flames in the sword looked very lethal.

" Sword Slash!"

Immediately, the earth spike, and the sword clashes.

The sword confronted the earth spike directly, but other than the first time, which looked surprised by the power of the earth spike, the Dullahan didn't seem to have any trouble handling the earth spikes.

*Swoosh*

He put more power into the sword in his hand, and instantly the earth spikes crumbled.

" Is this all?"

Cade turned toward the delinquent's leader. His eyes were full of mocking.

After all these years of being bullied, he finally was able to stand up with his own feet.

At first, Cade was still a bit worried. But when the delinquent's leader Arcane card was blocked by the Dullahan in front of Cade, his heart calmed down. After all, he was no longer the old him.

In this world, only with strength would you gain your honor.

"Cut the crap!"

The delinquent leader was angered, and at the same time, he sent his Arcane Card, an earth Lizard, to clash with the Dullahan.

"Attack him, earth Lizard!"

When Cade saw this, he just smiled. Right now, the disparity of strength between them was pretty obvious, and Spectre Dullahan should pretty much be able to handle this battle with ease.

Without any instruction, he just nodded at the specter Dullahan, and the Spectre DUllahan had already gone and clashed with the earth lizard.

CLANGG!!!!

Watching from the side, Grigory nodded as he saw this battle.

In fact, it was not the way Cade battled but rather the way he had handled this situation.

In his sense, Cade had handled this matter perfectly.

All went back to the time when Cade went back home with a tattered body after being abused by the delinquents once again.

Grigory at first questioned Cade's decision. Was he going back to his past weak self that would even tolerate bullying?

But it seems that he was wrong. The Cade now was a monster. He was the one that would let his enemy dance while thinking they were in control before slowly dragging them to the deepest of hell.

' Ahh... Cade North.. it seems that I really wasn't wrong to choose you..'

Back to Cade, Dullahan Spectre had just been bullying the Earth Lizard like there was no tomorrow.

The Earth Lizard's body was now full of wounds, and it was only because of Dullahan Spectre's inexperience in a battle that the Earth Lizard was able to survive until now.

" You... Guys, attack him together! What are you waiting for?"

The delinquent leader saw the stats of his Arcane Card and commanded his delinquent.

However, their reaction was far from what he expected.

Maybe because of the shock of suddenly being brought to this creepy place, or because they have witnessed Cade's new strength, they didn't react to their leader's command.

" You guys... Fuck you! Remember this. I would not let you guys alive!"

Once again, the delinquent leader roared. But no matter what he said, the other delinquents were just too scared to move.

Cade also noticed the delinquents' sluggishness, and a mocking smile immediately emerged on his face. Never once did he ever expect that thing would be this easy.

Those few years of bullying, everything seemed like a joke to the current him.

"Let's end this. Sword Slash!!"

Cade's hand glowed, and suddenly, a sonic boom rang out!!

The Spectre Dullahan no longer holds back. It seemed to form a straight line that flew directly towards Earth Lizard's neck!

The delinquent boss's attention was still on the underling that had denied his command. So how could hebe mindful of a deadly attack currently flying towards his Arcane Card?!!

"Pu!!!"

The extremely accurate slash stroke the Earth Lizard's yellow neck, nearly passing right through it. The moment the head was severed from its body, captivating red-colored blood immediately blossomed!

The delinquent leader still maintained the annoyed face as he had just witnessed his underlings disobey him, but his body suddenly stiffened before heavily falling onto the ground when he saw what happened with his Arcane Card. Fresh blood sprayed all over his Earth Lizard!

Killed on the spot!!!

In this instant, the entire room went silent!

It was common knowledge that no matter how hurt they were, Arcane Card would recover after a few days. But killing them was a completely different matter, and this was also why killing was normally banned in a match.

Now suddenly witnessing the death of his Arcane Card, the delinquent leader felt like he was dreaming.

" No.. no way.. this must be a dream.."

The delinquent leader held his head, trying to convince him this was all a dream. Soon, he would face reality and blame Cade for the death of his Arcane Card.

However, Cade had long seen this predicament.

Before the Delinquent leader would recover, He had left the place as if he was no longer interested as he gave a final look at the delinquent leader before turning at Grigory.

This battle with the delinquent leader was like the last test for Cade.

It was his first battle, yet it was also his chance to prove himself. To prove himself that he was no longer the old him and he had the right to survive in this world.

In this cruel world, where the strong eat the weak, Cade needed to have a suitable mentality to survive, and there's where the delinquent's role came into play.

He must not be a cold-blooded killer, but if Cade could not even handle the thought of killing his enemy, then he was sure that he would not live long in this world. After all, this was not a game, and everything was not as shiny and bright as depicted in the game.

He was a mob, and he had his own way of surviving.

" How is it? Is it going according to what you wanted?."

Cade left his last word for Grigory. It was certain that his face was pale, and he didn't look that good. Nonetheless, he still tried to maintain his composure which made Grigory smile full of satisfaction.

In the end, the feeling of dancing in Grigory's plan still bothered Cade. But it is not like he had any other choice right now.

" Hahahahaha, so cold-hearted!! But I like that from you. In this world, only by being cold-hearted would you survive. Don't worry Cade, I will take care of the rest."

Grigory smiled like a maniac. One look, and Cade could see that nothing good would happen to the delinquent leaders and his underlings. Nonetheless, it was not Cade's problem.

He had learned from his previous life and all the bullying before to remove the problem from its roots.

" Then, I leave it to you, Grigory. I believe that you would not leave any crucial details there."

Cade no longer gave any shit about the delinquents as he proceeded to leave the room.
