Chapter 127 Chase VS Dove, one kick sends him flying!
Chase recognized the cold, icy female swordswoman lying in the house before him.
That's right, it's Dove, one of the three crows of the Bones Society's Special Operations Group!
At this time, the three crows naturally serve Gerald, who resides in the Tower of Paradise.
Since she left the Tower of Paradise and appeared in Magnolia, it means that Ultear's "redemption" of Jellal has completely failed.
This outcome was not unexpected for Chase. After all, after eight years of brainwashing and manipulation, Gerald had long been corrupted. His obsession had penetrated his will and was not so easy to reverse—even for Ultear, the mastermind.
This can be seen from how crazy Geralt was in the original work.
As for the specific reason for sending someone to kill him, it was most likely that he blamed himself for all the drastic changes that had occurred in Ultear after she returned from Karuna Island.
With the Tower of Paradise nearing completion, Jellal wants to use the Magical Spirits' power from the Council to complete the final step, but he still needs Ultear's cooperation. This is the most crucial part of the entire plan, and no mistakes can be tolerated.
Therefore, he definitely needs to get rid of himself, the "culprit," and restore Urutia to "normal"!
However, the fact that they didn't take action themselves but instead sent three crows suggests that they were worried that showing their faces would expose the Tower of Paradise plan, or that they simply looked down on people.
If it's the former, Chase can totally accept it.
If it's the latter, then we'll have to give him a good slap in the face!
"I never expected Mr. Chase to recognize the Bones Society. It is truly an honor for my daughter."
The dove, firmly bound by the six-pointed star, showed no panic. A dangerous smile played on her lips as she said leisurely, "As for who wants your life, I'm afraid I cannot disclose that."
"Oh, by the way, I am Dove of the Three Crows Special Operations Squad of the Skull and Bones Society."
Metaphor!
The moment the turtledove finished speaking, a strong smell of gunpowder erupted, and raging flames set the living room ablaze.
Powered by a magical thruster, a muscular, bird-headed man sped towards Chase, shouting, "And I am the Owl who upholds absolute justice!"
"That hideous monster, don't even think about coming near it!"
Just as Owl ignited the jetpack, the Dark Magician Girl, who was already on guard, spun her staff and erected a pink defensive barrier in front of herself and Chase.
However, Owl's movements were quite agile. As if anticipating the Dark Magician Girl's movements, it activated its thrusters to forcibly change direction, flying into the air at a ninety-degree angle, bypassing the protective shield and diving down from above.
His goal was very clear: it was Chase!
The powerful impact exploded instantly, ripping off the surrounding street tiles and sending Chase staggering backward, carving two deep trenches in the ground.
Dust and gravel flew everywhere, and just as he was about to be pushed into the city river and crash into the residential building behind him, Chase reached out with both hands.
He pressed firmly against the thruster on the opponent's back, veins bulging on his arms.
He let out a low shout and stomped down hard, crushing the solid riverbank rocks to pieces.
The downward trend has therefore come to a halt.
"What? He actually did it bare-handed—" The owl stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
As professional assassins, they naturally conducted in-depth research on Chase before launching the assassination operation, knowing that his most troublesome aspect was his ever-changing cards, while he himself was relatively weak in combat.
So from the very beginning, Izayoi and his goal was to win with speed and prevent Chase from using his cards!
The result was obvious: he had somewhat overestimated his abilities.
Whoosh!
Without giving the owl any chance to retaliate, the magic circle lit up, radiating a deep and mysterious bronze hue.
Chase used his left hand to stop the constantly smoking magic thruster, while his right arm, now the sealed one, clenched into a fist and slammed down with a magic card wrapped in the force of the punch!
Boom!
The fist landed, shattering the magic thruster into pieces, sending various steel parts flying everywhere.
The owl, having suffered this heavy blow, spat out a mouthful of blood and crashed heavily to Chase's feet, smashing the ground and creating cracks.
"Your sense of justice doesn't seem so great either."
Chase shook the sealed man's right arm and stepped on the unconscious Owl.
"Master, well done, that was awesome!" The dark magic girl smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
"Exposing your back to a professional assassin is not a good habit, lovely blonde."
The chilling voice startled the dark magician girl. She hurriedly grabbed her staff and was about to cast a spell when a cold and fierce slash struck first, splitting her in two!
"You weren't caught in the master's trap card—"
Before she could finish speaking, the Dark Magician Girl's severely injured body shattered and returned to the deck as starlight.
"I'm very sorry, but such a fragile thing can't hold my daughter."
The turtledove looked down at the six-pointed star fragments stained her kimono and said confidently, "There is nothing in this world that my daughter cannot cut!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she slowly sheathed her sword at her waist, lowered her body to look at Chess, and assumed a stance for drawing her sword and slashing.
An invisible sense of oppression instantly filled the entire street. Izayoi drew her sword again, her slow movements carrying a hint of elegance.
However, the several slashes unleashed were extremely violent, as if they could even cut through space, creating a stark contrast!
"Moonless Style: Yaksha Flash!"
Chase glanced sideways at the residential buildings across the river behind him, then decisively reached out with his right hand to grab at the air.
He pulled a huge shield from the glowing magic wand and held it horizontally in front of him.
That's the weapon of the monster card giant shield guardian.
Whoosh whoosh!
The slash was like a hurricane carrying sharp blades, and even the aftershocks that leaked out cut the river and the streets on the opposite bank into countless fragments!
Carbohydrate.
A slight sound was heard, and the next second, Chase's huge shield shattered!
"It seems Mr. Chase is not as indifferent to the townspeople as the rumors suggest," Izayoi asked knowingly.
She had already learned about Chess's true ways of doing things from the residents of Magnolia.
Once this conclusion is verified, the rest is easy.
The dove flipped its sword, preparing to unleash a slash with a wider area of effect.
However, how could Chase possibly let her continue like this?
The magic circle rotated, and three lightsabers descended from the sky, their holy light dispelling the surrounding darkness and illuminating the entire street.
The dove stopped its massive slashing attack during the brewing process, expressionlessly reversed its grip on the blade, and gently swung it at the lightsaber hovering beside it.
Whoosh!
The slash swept past, shattering the lightsaber into bright, swirling fragments that drifted down.
"That's the Holy Light Sealing Sword, capable of sealing an opponent's movements, right? Too bad, it still can't withstand my girl's... *poof*!!"
Before the dove could finish its boastful words, a sharp pain shot through its abdomen.
Using the flying lightsaber fragments as cover, Chase kicked out from mid-air.
When it comes to intelligence control, he knows far more than the dove knows himself!
It's not surprising that a strike that even Erza's armor couldn't withstand could sever the Holy Light Seal Sword, which wasn't amplified by magic cards like the Book of Secrets.
Therefore, the Holy Light Protector Sword is merely a secondary weapon!
