Chapter 1650: I'm Whitebeard's Daughter! (Extra Update for Spring Autumn Cicada Sequence Alliance Leader)
"Who are you?"
"Oh, my apologies. Before a lady, I should introduce myself first."
"My name is Tobal Cain Alhambra, but everyone who knows me calls me 'Handsome'."
Alhambra paid no mind to the corpses, bloodstains, and wrecked armored vehicles at the scene.
He bowed like a gentleman to the mysterious young girl walking towards him.
As soon as he finished speaking.
The young girl opposite, wearing a red and black gothic dress and carrying a giant scythe in one hand, also responded with a smile.
"Hehehehe, my name is Rory Mercury. As for my identity, I suppose I'm currently a Greedy Wolf Star Unit member, here to take care of you, this not-so-handsome vampire~"
Rory covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, appearing very lively and cheerful.
It was these words of hers that Alhambra found not very cute.
What a joke, how could he not be handsome!
"It seems your taste isn't quite normal."
"Not really. I've seen your intelligence. Isn't there a werewolf named Bel Bluff?"
"I think he's very handsome. It's a shame I wasn't assigned the mission to deal with him, sigh—"
Rory Mercury let out a long sigh, feigning disappointment.
"Uh, Captain, the captain..."
Alhambra didn't dare to retort much, then his expression suddenly turned cold: "Enough nonsense!" After speaking, he extended both hands in front of him, and a row of playing cards quickly formed on his chest.
Seeing this, Rory Mercury opposite lifted the halberd scythe from her shoulder.
"Necromancy. Spirit Gathering Art!"
As a faint purple light of magic power appeared on the scythe.
The vampire soldier corpses on the Ground, which she had cut in half and were lying in a pool of blood, also began to emit a faint purple light on their surface.
[Swish swish swish swish----]
Just then, Alhambra's playing cards turned into countless afterimages, cutting through the Grand Avenue Ground along the way with energy blades, covering Rory Mercury like a storm.
The latter showed no weakness.
Nor did she have any intention of retreating.
She immediately swung the scythe in front of her into a mass of purple blade light.
In an instant, both sides collided fiercely, and the deafening rumble was continuous.
The surrounding Ground was even more severely fractured by layers of qi energy.
At the same time.
The two vampire corpses on the Ground that had been subjected to magic.
Suddenly melted into blood so thick it was almost viscous.
Then gradually, human form outlines and clear faces appeared...
"Huh?"
Rory Mercury was very surprised to see this scene while distracted.
This magic of hers should only be able to condense an ability with a certain degree of substance penetration outside corpses that haven't been dead for long.
But they should be evil spirits that would be dispersed by excessive impact and fear sunlight and holy energy.
But how did two monsters that seemed to have turned into blood appear now?
It's worth mentioning that after the 'Top 100 Competition'.
With the help of 'Old Man' Newgate, Rory Mercury successfully mastered Armament Haki and Observation Haki.
But later she found that she wasn't quite used to using them, and magic power felt more fluid instead.
This led her to decide, after careful consideration, not to continue studying Haki, but to cultivate magic power and magic from scratch.
As expected, she could be called exceptionally talented in this area, making rapid progress.
After all, she had been a Demigod for nearly a thousand years before.
Although she had lost her divine power, it was impossible for there to be no influence.
Later, Rory Mercury realized that her greatest talent lay in souls.
Not only was her own soul stronger than ordinary people's, but she was also very good at controlling the souls of the dead.
This should be related to the souls that died by her hand over the past thousand years, gathering towards Emroy through her body time and time again.
So she immediately decided to major in Necromancy, which is considered black magic by most Mages.
Previously, it had always been the magic studied by the Cult Apostle of 'God of the Underworld' Hades.
Since things had come to this.
Rory Mercury wanted to see if this change was good or bad.
"Go, take care of those annoying minions!"
As the order was given.
Two blood demons floating in Mid-air immediately turned into blood shadows and pounced towards their comrades-in-arms from when they were alive.
But the other side didn't welcome their resurrection, and with faces full of terror, they began to open fire and shoot.
However.
All the bullets passed through the blood demons' bodies without causing any damage.
"Ahhhhhh!"
The next moment.
A blood demon completely devoid of reason grabbed a vampire soldier, opened its literal gaping maw, bit fiercely into the latter's cold neck, and began rapidly sucking the blood inside the body.
In just a few seconds, the unlucky vampire soldier became a mummy completely devoid of vitality.
Then the blood demon turned its greedy gaze towards the other vampires and British Soldier.
"No!"
"Don't come over!"
"Ahhhhh, monsters!!!"
Seeing signs of the Troops' morale collapsing, Alhambra immediately threw an 'Ace of Spades' at one of the blood demons.
[Roar----]
The card afterimage that drew an arc in the Air exploded the moment it hit the target.
As expected, under the fierce Hikari, the blood demon turned into countless blood rain, splashing everywhere. Fortunately, it did not reappear.
Seeing this, Alhambra sneered: "Hmph, so it was just something to scare people. It can be solved with grenades or a rocket launcher..."
But before he could finish speaking.
A streak of sharp purple light chopped down from above, cruelly cutting him along the midline. Blood and brains entered Rory Mercury's eyes.
But the next second.
Alhambra's body suddenly turned into dense flying cards in a pink radiance.
"Clone? Substitution Technique?"
Rory Mercury raised an eyebrow, and at the same time, her eyes glowed red. The scythe in her hand quickly spun with her body, blocking the card attack from behind.
[Roar!!!]
Smoke and dust billowed, the Ground fractured, and powerful air currents spread outwards.
"What a formidable little girl..."
Alhambra, who reappeared, was filled with emotion.
"Little girl? I'm already nine hundred and sixty-five years old. How about you?"
Rory Mercury looked at the other party playfully.
"Huh?"
Alhambra was greatly astonished upon hearing these words.
If this was true, wouldn't the other party have lived even longer than Alucard!
"But is this all you're capable of? If so, then I plan to finish you off here..."
"Try it if you have the ability!"
Alhambra dismissed her words as complete nonsense and immediately began high-speed movement, shooting out dense playing cards.
"Hehehehe, alright, let's try... Necromancy. Death God Scythe!"
The halberd scythe in Rory Mercury's hand instantly disappeared.
When it reappeared, it had transformed in the Air into an even larger, evil scythe emitting a faint purple light, smashing towards Alhambra.
Alhambra's complexion changed drastically.
He could feel that he couldn't block this technique, and immediately took large strides to dodge rapidly.
But who knew that the descending blade turned and chased after him.
Alhambra grit his teeth and created two card clones beside him, attempting to lure away the Death God Scythe, but found that the latter completely ignored them.
"The Death God Scythe is targeting your soul. You have nowhere to avoid, you can only face it..."
Rory Mercury's corner of mouth curved slightly upwards, kindly reminding the other party.
"Coincidentally, I also have a technique that cannot be avoided!"
Alhambra ran and shouted, swinging his right hand forcefully towards her.
With a 'swish swish swish' sound, playing cards appeared around Rory Mercury.
As the Death God Scythe chopped down, all the playing cards also exploded simultaneously.
[Rumble!!!]
Under the earth-shattering loud noise, the surrounding Building continuously collapsed.
A moment later, as the night wind blew, the smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
Alhambra's figure, half-kneeling on the Ground, reappeared.
Only now, his expression was pale, his face full of suffering, and his left arm was completely empty.
However, for him, trading an arm for a life wasn't a loss.
So what about Rory Mercury, who was subjected to the concentrated blast of cards?
Alhambra stared intently at the smoke and dust ahead.
"Where are you looking?"
But this sound came from behind him.
[Swish----]
The next second, the scythe grazed past, and the head was thrown high into the Air.
"Come on, I'm 'Whitebeard's Daughter!"
Rory Mercury met the scarlet gaze filled with emotions like unwillingness, anger, and resentment, and a brilliant smile appeared on her face.
"Someone like you is far from being able to defeat me!"
Thank you very much to Helmsman 20240612112412233 for the tip of 1000 Qidian Coins! Bow! Thank you for your support and encouragement!
