Card Master System - Chapter 41 Last Good Res

“Well that was fun Leo, but it looks like we should get going before our trainers start to reprimand us.” Natalia said as she looked over to the three executive leveled experts who seemed rather impatient.

“I hate to admit it, but she is right. Be safe out there and do not feel bad for us not being able to accompany you. Come back stronger than you are now so in the future, you will not slow us down.” Standing up with Natalia, Jack said his goodbyes in a teasing manner before everyone left the room except for Leo.

“Now time to see what exactly this mana flow is!” now that he was not being watched like a hawk, Leo quickly clicked the screen and read the words to himself before his eyes widened.

-Due to the mana stone within your weapon, you can now cast spells during combat. Once the mana stone is removed, this becomes a new ability and you can cast low leveled spells-

“So, if I can now add spells to my attacks, wouldn’t that mean that I am now even stronger? I wonder how much this weapon costed them, I will take this as an equal exchange from helping them spend their attribute points.”

Now in a very good mood, Leo decided to take some time to read over the mission yet again and to accept it before heading back to his residence. With the screen, Leo was able to accept any and all missions and he would not be penalized if he never completed them.

He found this out when a mission popped up that said to help a man from a mugging, but he let it happen due to being too far away and couldn’t make it in time. This still bothered him greatly, but at least he understood more about mission failures after that incident.

“The Spider Queen that drank monster blood?” now reading up on more information about the mission he was about to go out on in the morning, Leo noticed a strange overview of the spider queen herself.

The Spider Queen was part of the biggest spider faction in the world. Just like the orcs race, humans, upon the many others, spiders also were a massive race that had an unbelievable amount of power and resources. Every race on this planet would keep to themselves and try to slowly expand their territory, so Leo was not surprised to see this information.

The following part was what surprised Leo the most. It looked like this Spider Queen was outcasted by the rest of the spider race to fend for herself. Although, every spider queen within the spider race were treated as nobles, what she and many of her sisters had done was inexcusable and was sent out to every other race as a warning.

Like other Spider Queens who were born to lead their own children against other factions, this Spider Queen drank some monster blood. At first, her personality started to change, and she started to convince many others to do the same since she felt some new power coursing through her veins. However, after many months, the Spider Queen started to turn into a true monster and some of her children had done the same!

When it came to races such as the spiders, once their power increased to a certain level, they would start to develop intelligence and they would be able to slowly change their appearance to look like humans. Unfortunately, though their appearance would look more like humans, they did not practice using any elements.

The spider race was unable to develop and understandings for the elements, but they were born with the ability to use poisons. In this way, the spider race was still more than capable of battling against the other races.

Turning into more savage creatures and being almost unrecognizable to the other pure-blooded spiders, there was a big civil war between them. The Spider Queen that led the whole race was able to push these others back with the assistance of other races sending reinforcements. Though they would not hunt the rest down, they would notify every other race about their existences.

From being outcasted by the true spider faction and forced to hide, this Spider Queen started her own conquest to take over this area and to build an army to one day revolt against the humans. The reason was simple, if she could take over some of the human’s lands, then she would receive an invitation to the group of races who wanted to destroy the humans.

Usually such a group was frowned upon since humans showed the most growth potential out of all the races on the planet, and they held the most land and population. When it came to a weaker power such as this outcasted Spider Queen, joining a group like that would only bring an endless amount of benefits.

After reading through all of this, Leo saw on his screen that a side quest popped up, clicking to look, he was satisfied with what he had seen.

-Kill one of the Spider Queen’s ten disciples-

“The only real threat seems to be the Spider Queen herself, so killing one of her disciples shouldn’t be too much of a hassle. Besides, this mission was ranked E and even showed that I should be level ten to take it on.”

“I may be level eight currently, but once I start slaying these spiders, I should level up fairly quickly and will reach level ten before even seeing the Spider Queen herself.” Pondering over this for a minute, Leo finally accepted the side quest on his screen and felt even more ready to head out on this guild’s mission!

In this moment, Leo decided to take on the mission only by himself without any hired help. In the back of his mind, he wanted to bring along several other warriors just, so he wouldn’t get bored, but he decided against this. If he led a new squad out with him, he would possibly be slowed down, and if he brought along someone stronger than himself, he would not be free to do what he wanted.

Heading back to his living area, Leo quickly took a nice long and hot bath as he finished packing all his supplies for this mission. Not knowing how long he would be gone for, he packed all the food he could within his inventory to last him several months!

Finally finished, Leo passed out on his bed and slept all the way until morning. He would cherish this for a long time until he would finally return to a comfortable bed. Little did Leo know, this mission would last a very long time, and he would not be able to sleep peacefully or in a comfortable bed like this.
