Brother Ying: I believe in myself!
Chapter 71 Brother Ying: I believe in myself!
"Stop talking, look over there!"
While Wang Changsheng, Tomoyo, and Sakura were chatting enthusiastically, Kero, who had been left aside and unable to join the conversation, could only watch and search for the Clow Cards, suddenly shouted.
It pointed its little arm sharply forward.
"That's the real object of the shadow play!"
Upon hearing Xiao Ke's voice, Wang Changsheng and Xiao Ying turned their heads and looked in the direction Xiao Ke was pointing.
Suddenly, a very peculiar humanoid creature came into their view.
The humanoid creature looked like a twisted and eerie black shadow.
It was also wearing a black cloak with a hood covering its head, giving it a deep, dark appearance that made it impossible to see its face.
Even under that hat, there seemed to be complete darkness, with no face visible at all, making it impossible to tell whether it had a face or not.
Of course, since it is a shadow card, its main body is naturally also a shadow, only it has a physical form and will not be destroyed by light. But in essence, it is still a shadow.
So it seems normal that the shadow has no face.
Wang Changsheng observed the shadow plaque itself, and a question lingered in his mind.
What I'm saying is, this guy, Shadow Card, looks way too much like the leader of the FFF group, doesn't he?
In addition, it bears a striking resemblance to Voldemort and shares the same design as Death.
If it were to also be holding a scythe, then it would be virtually indistinguishable from the Grim Reaper, the god of death who reaps lives.
If I had to put it in perspective, it would be that Death might have a face, while the Shadow Card doesn't.
Fortunately, it didn't have a sickle in its hand.
Otherwise, Wang Changsheng had reason to suspect that this guy, Kuro, had somehow wandered into some dimensional world, forcibly brought in a Shinigami, and then turned him into a Clow Card.
Wang Changsheng felt that, given Kuro's wicked personality, it was quite possible.
Tomoyo and Sakura also looked in the direction of the shadow sign. Upon seeing the pitch-black figure, Sakura frowned, while Tomoyo became even more excited.
"Sakura, this is the true form of the Shadow Card. Now that it has no other shadows to provide it with power, let's use the Wind Card to seal it away!"
Kero's voice rang in Sakura's ears.
The Shadow Card is currently at its weakest point. If we don't take advantage of this weakness, seize the opportunity to seal it away, and let it escape, only to allow it to accumulate power and make a comeback, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?
On the school playground, a twisted and eerie black shadow was walking step by step toward the school gate.
Wang Changsheng didn't know what it was thinking. Instead of running fast, it was moving slowly, as if it didn't care about them at all.
However, Wang Changsheng glanced at the glaring lights around him and then thought that this guy seemed to be overwhelmed by Zhi Shi's large-scale light coverage method, which was why he was walking slowly.
"This guy is actually very arrogant. We used the light to release all the shadows it had accumulated back to its original form, which is an unfair victory. Besides, after that battle, it probably still thinks we can't beat it."
Kero's Osaka accent still carried a hint of excitement: "But even without extra power, the Wind Card, as one of the four elemental cards, will definitely be able to subdue this guy. Cardcaptor Sakura, it's your turn now!"
"good!"
Sakura nodded emphatically.
She wielded her flying staff, her figure flashed, and then she swooped down towards the tall shadow.
"Swish"
With powerful and flamboyant wings, Sakura almost reached the vicinity of the shadow board in the blink of an eye.
Perhaps sensing the whooshing sound behind them, the dark figure that had been pacing forward suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, it suddenly turned around and faced Sakura. At that moment, a powerful magical aura erupted from its body, and the power of shadow raged violently.
Even without the help of other shadows, he is still powerful even when relying on himself!
Shadow Brother believes in himself, just as Kuro once praised him!
"Buzz"
Beneath the two wide sleeves of the shadow sign, tentacles suddenly burst forth, and several black shadows transformed into vine whips, lashing towards Sakura.
However, although it was still very powerful at this moment, it was far less imposing than before.
Having just experienced the baptism of battle, Sakura has become increasingly adept at controlling the flying cards.
Sakura, flying through the air on her magic wand, dodged and weaved, quickly avoiding the attack.
So even though the Shadow Card's tentacles split into several, resembling a tentacle monster, they still posed no real threat to Sakura.
"Swish"
Under the control of the shadow card, the shadow tentacles transformed into thick iron chains.
Unfortunately, Wang Changsheng was there to help Xiaoying.
Fireballs blasted the chains away, clearing a path for Sakura.
After getting close to the screen, Sakura used a little leverage and then gently landed on the ground of the playground from mid-air.
"Buzz"
The moment Sakura's feet touched the ground, a magnificent magic circle shimmering with golden light suddenly appeared.
The swirling and flowing circular runes, with the sun, moon, and stars reflecting each other, and unknown and mysterious symbols leaping up on this magic circle.
Sakura pulled another card from her chest and held it between her two fingers.
At that moment, Sakura's mind was churning with thoughts, and many ideas flashed through her mind.
However, her thoughts and intentions were very firm.
This mischievous Clow Card must be captured!
"Oh, wind—"
Sakura tossed the Clow Cards in front of her and then twirled her wand.
The bird-headed staff left circles of cherry blossom-colored light in the void, and along with Sakura's chanting, strange currents of energy appeared.
"Please become the shackles of a seal, sealing away what lies before me!"
"WINDY!"
"bite--"
Sakura swung her magic wand and smashed it onto the card, producing a soft, resonant sound that reached everyone's ears.
Immediately afterwards, countless streams of air shone brightly from the Clow Card, bursting out of the card and carrying powerful wind energy as they surged into the sky.
The wind can be gentle, or it can be violent.
As the magic surged forth, a woman of almost unreal beauty appeared in the wind.
As soon as it appeared, it caught Wang Changsheng's attention.
"Sister Feng is still so beautiful~"
Even though the Shadow Card had the shadows of all the students in the school, it was still inevitably cut into thin threads by the Wind Card. Now, it has nothing but its own shadow, and it is no match for Sister Wind.
The stunningly beautiful woman swirling in the sky gently opened her eyes, and at that moment, the wind power contained within the world seemed to erupt in a violent upheaval.
Wang Changsheng could clearly feel that all the wind elements around him seemed to be drawn away by the woman.
With the clash of the two Clow Cards, the magic in this area intensified several times over.
"Swish"
The shadow puppet transformed its entire body into tentacles, but with the surrounding lights on and the entire school brightly lit, its power was suppressed to an extremely weak level.
But the Wind Card forcibly draws upon the power of the wind between heaven and earth, shaking the very fabric of the world!
The air currents surrounding the Wind Card all transformed into shackles ten times thicker than the Shadow Card's tentacles. Even the Wind Sister herself vanished into nothingness, and together with the shackles, swept towards the FFF group leader.
This is a battle between two Clow Cards!
Sister Feng, you've got the upper hand!
"Hey! Sakura! Now's the time to strike and seal it away!" Kero shouted as he watched the battle unfold.
However, it was far away, located on the top floor of the teaching building. Its sound, apart from stimulating Tomoyo's eardrums, was not audible to Sakura, let alone Wang Changsheng, who was closer to them.
Fortunately, even without Xiao Ke's nagging, Sakura was able to seize the opportunity.
The shadow and wind cards transformed into their most primal attributes and powers, becoming intertwined.
The Shadow Shield was left all alone by the rings of bright lights, while the Wind Shield was still able to draw upon the power of the wind between heaven and earth.
Therefore, it is obvious at a glance which is stronger and which is weaker.
Sakura looked at the sealed-off shadow and knew that time was of the essence and she couldn't afford to waste any more time. She immediately raised her magic wand high.
"Restore you to your original state—"
"Clow Cards!"
When Sakura slammed her staff down on the shadowy mass, a rectangular, illusory image appeared on the pointed beak of the bird.
As soon as it appeared, its whole body shimmered with a dazzling, dreamlike radiance, as if it contained unimaginable, terrifying magic power, carrying infinite strength, just like a miniature universe.
Looking closer, one might see an even deeper, more profound shadow beneath that crystal-clear and glassy exterior.
This miniature universe seems to be filled with deathly silence, darkness, and shadows.
"Whoosh!"
Instantly, a terrifying suction force erupted from that card.
This force does not affect other things; only the shadow tablets, which are bound by chains formed by the airflow, are drawn in and uncontrollably sucked into it.
The shadow card struggled violently, its several shadow tentacles raging, but to no avail.
When that dream card appeared, everything was already set in stone.
In the end, the rectangular card devoured all the shadows, and the magic circle beneath Sakura's feet erupted with an even more dazzling divine light.
As magic surged and receded, under the influence of a power incomprehensible to everyone, the card, shimmering with a strange luster, transformed from nothingness into a physical form, becoming a playing card.
Wang Changsheng felt that after absorbing all the power of the Shadow Card, the card seemed to have come to this world from some mysterious and unknown place.
This kind of telepathy he only gained after he was promoted to a second-level mage.
It was completely inexplicable and without any clue, but Wang Changsheng just had this feeling.
Those playing cards created by Clow Reed don't seem to be as simple as they seem.
That's not wrong. Although we know that Kuro is very powerful, it may sound simple to absorb and use the laws of the world, but if you really think about it, you will find that it is not an easy thing at all.
Wang Changsheng hadn't felt this way before when he was sealing the flying cards, but now the feeling was different, which made him fall into deep thought.
Doesn't this illustrate one thing?
"As my magical power increases, is my strength also moving towards some deeper level? With my growing strength, will that rascal Kuroko, who loves to startle people, come after me?"
For some reason, the moment this thought popped into Wang Changsheng's mind, he had the answer.

meeting.
And it definitely will!
This world is almost entirely centered around Kuro Reid. As the most powerful magician in this world, almost every move he makes has an unexpected meaning.
Even though he's been dead for so many years, he can still arrange a final resting place for Sakura, the Clow Cards, Kero, Yue, and so on.
Wang Changsheng was very wary of this guy.
This is also the key to how he immediately became friends with Sakura and Tomoyo, and how he bantered with Kero.
These actions were not only because he wanted to do so, but also because...
Another reason is to show Kuro how wicked he is.
This is to prove that he is "harmless." Although he has powerful magical artifacts, his purpose in "approaching" Sakura is not for anything else, but simply to help Sakura.
But his verbal sparring with Kero makes his approach to Sakura seem less deliberate.
After all, Clow Reed was able to arrange for Syaoran to help Sakura, so he certainly wouldn't mind having me on his side, right?
Sakura possesses incredibly powerful magical energy, a fact that Wang Changsheng noticed during his occasional interactions with her.
However, if this immense magical power is not properly guided, it may ultimately harm Sakura herself.
So, in order to channel this enormous magical power, Clow made so many Clow Cards, and later even helped Sakura turn those Clow Cards into Sakura Cards.
One of the purposes of doing this was definitely to help Sakura alleviate the magical power within her.
Of course, Wang Changsheng did not know the real reason why Clow Reed made the Clow Cards. It was possible that in his later years he felt that he was so powerful, yet he still could not escape death.
However, the two creatures he created, Xiao Ke and Yue, were able to achieve immortality.
So, to keep these two from being lonely, the Clow Cards were created for them to manage, both as a source of comfort and companionship. But unexpectedly, they didn't die; instead, they were reincarnated.
All of these are possible.
However, Wang Changsheng still felt that the creation of the Clow Cards was more about helping Sakura.
Moreover, Wang Changsheng vaguely remembered that Eriol, one of Kuro's reincarnations, once said to Yue—
The one who inherits Kuro's legacy will never be Kuro himself.
Even if he looks like him, he's not him.
As for whether Kuro, who can foresee everything, will set up an even bigger scheme, he has no idea.
Whether Kuro foresaw his arrival, he himself did not know.
Will the invasion from other worlds catch Kuro off guard?
One question after another, but Wang Changsheng had no answers.
As a result, he had to find out for himself.
Why do authors have to subscribe to read their own novels?! I can't even reply to the chapter comments anymore!
It's unbearable to repair!
