Volume 1 Tarot Apostles Chap.2 The Third Empress
"Get out of the way!" Wallace let out a cry of horror, and the two of them hurriedly fell to the side, barely avoiding the surprise attack of the demonic beast!
Damn——! Lesna was prostrate on the ground, feeling her heart beating violently, she quickly took out her mobile phone and wanted to call for help, but found that even the mobile phone was plated with a layer of silver gray, and it couldn't be used at all!
"Damn ——!" Isn't this a sure thing to die!? Lesna's cheeks were flushed with anger, she slapped her phone on the ground in anger, and seeing the monster gradually approaching with a hideous face, she pursed her two pale lips and slowly stood up from the ground.
For the first time, she felt panic and despair flow through her body in the face of the godage fantasy creatures, and the thought that she would be gnawed and bloody, her body and fingertips trembled with coldness.
Bastard thing! Why did this happen, if you just listened to that guy, just took him for a freak who told a story, and then turned away, maybe it wouldn't be ......!
Resentment, grief, and regret filled her heart, and she wanted to tear apart herself just now, and when countless black mud-like ideas were about to break her nerves, Wallace held an iron rod in front of her.
What I saw in front of me was no longer a terrifying monster, but the back of a boy in a school uniform.
"I'm sorry, Lesna, if I had rejected you more brutally, I wouldn't have swept you in, and we won't be able to escape from this space unless we can defeat this beast with magic." Wallace's gentle tone was filled with apology and self-reproach.
I can only see the red color of the school uniform, why is my heart instantly filled with strength and comfort when I hear his voice? Lesna looked up and saw Wallace's face.
The face and gaze that are soft like water, even in this desperate situation, have not changed, and they still shine in the desperate death, why? Is it to know that there is no power to return to heaven and calmly choose to accept reality, or... Even so, you have to face the monster in front of you?
Knowing that she would die, she still stood in front of Lesna and protected her behind her, her eyes widened slightly, staring at the back, and the particles of hope in her heart were tapping the dirt of fear little by little.
"It's okay, stay behind me, I'll protect you, at least I can help you delay some time." The slightly pleasing voice seemed to be a little desolate.
"What are you kidding, I don't need your protection." For Lesna, who is a school bully and a bad girl, it is a great shame to be protected, and she decisively chooses to leave his back and stand by his side.
You can't watch this boy die alone, at least like him, even if you meet an unchangeable death, you have to stand up and face it.
"Lesna—" Wallace was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, and the two stood side by side, facing the approaching beast together.
The monster couldn't hold it anymore, and opened its bloody mouth to pounce on the two of them!
It seemed to be a matter of an instant, and Lesna saw with her own eyes that Wallace was glowing with a pale blue glow, and even the iron rod was dyed blue!
Wallace held the iron rod in both hands, gritted his teeth and swung it with all his strength, like a dying knight wielding his sword to defend his honor!
The iron rod hit the head of the demonic beast and made a muffled sound, and a light blue scar was knocked out of the demonic beast's head! The pain made it howl even more frantically at Wallace, and the whole space reverberated with terrifying echoes!
"It worked! Wallace, you are also magical—"What a miracle this is!" Lesna turned her head away in delight.
She saw Wallace's face pale, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and he vomited a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground, and the iron rod also fell to the ground.
"Wallace!? What happened to you!? You okay!? Seeing this, Lesna crouched beside him in panic.
“… Body... It hurts......" Wallace sat on the ground, clutching his hands to his chest in pain.
Before Lesna could answer, the beast was already screaming madly and rushing towards the two of them!
Protect him! This is the image of the attack of the monster in Lesna's eyes, and as this sentence flashed in her mind, she rushed to Wallace and protected him behind her with open arms.
"Lesna ——!!!" She heard Wallace's heart-rending wails tearing at her throat behind her.
I'm going to die! Just as Lesna was about to touch the fangs of the monster, a beam of holy white light fell from the sky, falling in front of Lesna and throwing the monster into the air, and the monster fell to the ground, forced to retreat again and again by this light!
"This is!?" Lesna saw the white light fall on her hands, and when the light had dissipated, there was a rectangular card depicting a woman with long blond hair, a crown on her head, and a rich and elegant dress, resting on a bench with a peaceful face.
Underneath the pattern is a line of words: "3-Queen"
What is it? Lesna was a little overwhelmed with the card, but seeing that Warcraft was very afraid of this card, it showed that this card could repel Warcraft!
"Great! Lesna! It turns out that you are also a tarot apostle! Then we can defeat Warcraft and we can leave! Wallace endured the pain and stood up from the ground with his hands on the ground, a smile of hope on his face.
"Huh...?" What Tarot Apostle? Lesna was confused, she looked puzzled, stared down at the cards, what the hell was going to do...?
Just as she hesitated briefly, the card glowed again, revealing a line of small letters underneath the pattern: "Tarot Arm, Transform"
"Tarot armed... Transform...? After Lesna carefully pronounced these words, the card instantly formed countless pure black thorns to wrap her in the airtight, and then the black thorns turned into black rose petals and dispersed with the wind, and Lesna's clothes were completely new!
A black punk short-sleeved trench coat with a red lining, black studded fingerless gloves on both hands, black hot pants with black stockings and martin boots, and two bronze metal belts around the waist.
The headband was also decorated with black apples, a small golden crown inlaid with rubies on the head, red nail polish on both fingernails, and an X-shaped white chain on the left thigh.
"It's... What... Transformed ......? Lesna blinked in surprise at the change in her clothes, but she liked the cool black outfit very much.
Sensing something in her right hand, she picked it up and saw that it was a red yo-yo with a black rose painted on it.
That's the weapon, that's good! Lesna's grip on the yo-yo suddenly increased in confidence, and when she turned to look at Wallace to tell him not to move, she found that he was already in place, and was stunned by Lesna's dress.
"Wallace, stand still and don't move, I'll protect you this time!" After Lesna finished speaking, she jumped into the air and threw a yo-yo at the monster!
The thin lines that connected the yoyo seemed to stretch endlessly, and the beast jumped to dodge, and when it tried to pounce on Lesna, the thin lines became more and more, forming a net on the ground and in mid-air to trap it in it!
It's like a beast trapped in a hunting net, let's find out! Lesna stood aside and watched the beast wail and retreat, holding up the yoyo with a grim face, noticing the rose motif radiating a black glow.
A thought rushed through her mind like an electric current.
"Last resort, go for it! Black Rose ——! Lesna shouted these words in an emotional voice, and threw the yo-yo with all her might!
Together with the thin line between the sky and the ground, a huge black rose suddenly formed, and the yo-yo fell to the thin line, rolling along the thin line trajectory, burning a raging black flame, and the thin line tightened in an instant, cutting the monster into pieces!
The demonic beast roared and showed its prototype in the flames, two silver-white swords!
The two silver swords shattered instantly, turned into black rose petals and disappeared, and the yoyo ball also rolled up a thin line and flew back into Lesna's hand!
The moment she lifted her transformation, everything around her faded to silver gray and recolored, the water continued to flow, and the cherry blossoms slowly fell to the ground, and she picked up her phone to look at it, and found that time had finally begun to move forward.
"Thank you, Lesna! It turns out that it was you who arranged it today.,I'm sorry.,You hid it so well.,I didn't even notice it.,I thought you were an ordinary girl.,But if only you could transform early.,I thought I was really going to die.。 Wallace smiled and returned the bag and iron roots to her.
"No, that... I'm sorry for letting you hurt too, and I'll send you home. Lesna didn't know what he was talking about, but out of guilt, she decided not to tell Wallace, knowing nothing about what he was saying.
"Okay!" She saw a refreshing and gentle smile on Wallace's face, and she was embarrassed to pick at her cheek with her fingers.
By the time she returned to the door of Ingram's mansion and Lesna had returned home, it was already past dinner time, and her parents had been working overtime lately, so she had to use the microwave to heat up a frozen pizza and a sausage, and pair it with Coke to quickly solve the trouble of dinner.
This card pattern, I think I've seen in a book, Lesna went into her room and turned on the light, she put the card on the table, took a hardcover book called "The Death of Amalias" from the shelf, turned the pages with a rattle, and her eyes kept looking for something on the paper.
"Found it." She saw the illustrations in the book, and then looked down at the patterns on the cards, and her originally tight brow suddenly relaxed.
No wonder it looks familiar, it's Fairphany, the princess of the kingdom of Amalias, Lesna picked up the card and sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the card and thinking quietly.
Amalias is the predecessor of the modern Balerrea country, a country that exists in the gods, and it stands to reason that this card should be in Balerea, why does it appear in our Creton country, which makes Lesna wonder in her mind.
"I don't know where you flew from, but thank you for saving us." She whispered, bowed her head and kissed the card, then placed it on the table, and fell asleep in the night.
That night, Lesna had a dream.
In the pure white palace, in front of her stood a knight in dark red armor, the armor was decorated with golden lines, the cloak was bright red as blood, the knight wore a helmet, the mask covered his face extremely tightly, revealing only a pair of blood-red eyes, looking at Lesna with sad and indifferent eyes.
『… You are crazy... Stop it... You can't go... Otherwise, I'll die here......
She was making a staccato voice from her first point of view, and a dagger in her hands, as if to say something to the knight.
Who...? Lesna looked at the knight, and saw that the moment he turned to walk towards the gate, the tip of the dagger he held in both hands stabbed at herself—
The sensation of falling rapidly and the blackness of her eyes twisted together, creating a whirling vertigo, and Lesna suddenly woke up from her dream, she opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling, her hands gently on her stomach, the pain of being pierced by the knife in the dream still remained in the flesh and skin.
"This dream is so unsettling...", she looked at the queen card on the table, sighed softly, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
She staggered into the academy as she ate the bread slices, and when she reached the class door, Lucas stopped her in the hallway, "Lesna, the principal asked you to go to the office and said that there was something important to ask you for." ”
"Got it." Lesna quickly shoved the slice of bread into her mouth and swallowed it, before slowly walking towards the principal's office.
For Lesna, going to the principal's office is already commonplace, and she often receives commissions from the principal to protect her students from being bullied by students from other schools, so the teachers only turn a blind eye to her sleeping in class and not doing her homework.
Not knowing which unlucky person she was going to protect today, Lesna guessed in her heart, and when she saw that the door to the office was open, she walked in openly.
found that the white-haired old principal, who had always been pleasant, was sitting at his desk at the moment.
"Lesna, there's an important person who wants to see you, it's in the reception room, you can go in and meet him yourself." With that, the principal got up and walked out of the office, closing the door by the way.
"......" The headmaster had never had such an expression, who the hell was coming, even he couldn't stay in the office, Lesna walked to the side of the reception room with curiosity and knocked on the door.
"Please come in." There was a young man's voice inside.
With permission, Lesna pushed open the door with both hands and walked in, revealing a young man standing in front of the window.
