Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Seeing that Sakura seemed to have an idea, Astral secretly showed an expression that his plan was successful.

The 'Tree' card that was used for restraint before did not have a very good speed and could only be used on slow-moving or huge objects.

Sakura couldn't guarantee success if she used it on the nimble warrior in front of her.

At this time, the enemy once again prepared to charge forward.

The 'Sword' card popped out from the sword, and the long sword in his hand turned back into the form of a staff.

Faced with the scene before her, Sakura made a calm judgment and chose a new card.

"Transform into powerful chains to bind your enemies, THE WINDY."

A card that can even trap the Moon, if that's it.

Absolutely!

Just as Shalala Banchang was about to get close to the enemy and start hacking at him, he was blocked by a sudden air current.

A magic circle appeared in front of it, followed by even stronger winds.

"Gah-"

The air current rises.

The yellow-green wind picked it up directly and then wrapped it in a circular barrier made of wind.

"Okay, it worked, let's go now."

Seeing the enemy make way, Astral immediately rushed forward, while also reminding the two people behind him.

"What a quick move." Sakura said and followed suit.

Tomoyo glanced at the ball in the air and said, "Is it okay to stay here?"

Finally, he quickly followed.

The two people and the ghost finally arrived in front of the square.

It is estimated to be about the size of two football fields, and the stone bricks on the ground occasionally emit golden light.

"I always feel that there is something... sacred here?"

Astral did not refute, it pointed to the center of the square and said:

"Your feelings are not wrong, and that is my ultimate goal."

The two looked in that direction.

I saw an object floating in the air in the center of the square.

"Is that... a sword?"

To Sakura, the object in the distance was a long sword wrapped in a pair of white wings with a gem in the center.

Just as the few people stepped onto the platform of the square, a sudden magic shot in front of everyone.

"Tsk, we were just one step away, but the enemy appeared again at this time."

Astral looked at the extra figure in the air with some annoyance.

"Hey, I'll leave that guy to you."

Chise clearly sensed something strange in the other person's tone, so she asked him.

"You didn't have this attitude when you asked for help before."

Astral just glanced at her in response, but never spoke again.

Since the other party stopped talking, Tomoyo turned his attention to the enemy.

It was a figure flying in the air, dressed as a magician, with a long chain wrapped around its body.

【I, I, I, Magician】

Sakura looked behind her and asked, "The attack just now didn't come directly at us. Was it a warning to us?"

"So what if it is, so what if it isn't, are you going to give up here?"

Astral's voice sounded calmly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

After hearing this, Chise hesitated for a moment.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that this guy's attitude was very different from the beginning.

But Sakura, with her straightforward personality, didn't pay any attention to it and just thought it was a test from the Clow Cards.

So she responded firmly: "I will not give up."

She had experience with this kind of thing before, such as the trial at Tokyo Tower.

I guess the steps are the same this time.

"bring it on."

Seeing that Sakura had no intention of backing out, she even clenched her staff to challenge him.

As the ultimate guardian monster, 'I I I Magician' could not tolerate such humiliation.

It stretched out its right hand and pointed at Sakura, and after aiming, magic energy began to gather at its fingertips.

"Is this... a long-range attack?"

Just as Sakura thought.

The next second, just as warned, a beam of energy shot towards her.

But this time it wasn't a sneak attack, so Sakura could deal with it easily.

"THE SHIELD"

The circular shield wrapped her up, so no matter how powerful the attack was, it couldn't hurt her at all.

Seeing the enemy retreating into its shell, the monster's attacks became more and more fierce.

The light that originally had to be charged to shoot out from the fingertips now shoots out like a machine gun.

"This is not a solution. We won't be able to defeat the opponent just by defending."

Defense...attack...if you can combine the two.

When Sakura thought of this, she immediately came up with an idea.

At the moment when the opponent's attack reached its most violent level, she actually took the initiative to withdraw her shield.

Astral seemed a little upset.

"What on earth is this idiot thinking? To switch from defense to offense, you have to choose the moment when the attack is at its weakest."

Is this the limit of its immediate purpose?

It is unwilling!

"She's not stupid. She must have her own reasons for doing this. I believe in Sakura."

Tomoyo's voice was so stirring that it silenced Astral.

Humph, just watch it to kill time.

At this time, Sakura also showed her trump card: "Reflect all attacks, Mirror (THE MIRROR)."

As the 'shield' popped up, a mirror appeared in front of him.

After the fierce light attack hit its surface, it was all reflected back.

The 'I I I Magician' was caught off guard by this move. Although he had the ability to fly, it was already too late.

Countless magical rays hit him, causing a powerful explosion.

The monster's health bar was reduced to zero by this blow, and it dissipated in the air before it could even fall.

"Success!"

"See, I told you Sakura has her own ideas."

Tomoyo looked in the direction of Astral, but he was nowhere to be seen.

After looking around, he found that the other party was flying straight to the center of the square, where the giant sword was.

When the two men caught up, the other party floated in front of the giant sword.

He was laughing wildly: "Haha...hahaha - I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."

Seeing the other person so happy, Sakura approached him without knowing the truth.

"Now that your goal has been achieved, I wonder if you can return to your original form?"

"Back to the original appearance?"

Astral stopped laughing, but the smile on his face did not stop.

Even more evil and crazy.

"That's true. Since you asked for it..."

It turned around and looked at the two of them: "Let me show you my true form!"

As the words fell, Astral's transparent white body began to darken.

The black body appeared again!

Evil, vicious, cunning...

This is the first word that the two people can think of when they see this scene.

"Astral…what are you doing?"

"Astral? Don't call me such a disgusting name!"

Then it stretched out its right hand, where the dark energy gathered into a card.

"You want a card? I'll give you my card. That's my real name on it!"

After saying that, he threw the card to Sakura.

Sakura took the card in a panic, but the moment she took it she realized that it was different from the specifications of the Clow Cards.

Whether it is length or thickness, they are two completely different things.

"This is…"

Turning the card over, a black monster appeared on the screen, seemingly laughing at him.

The monster had a sharp mouth on its chest and claws on both hands, and it looked so ominous.

At the same time, as if by magic, he urged Sakura to read the name on the card:

"No.96...Black Mist..."
