Card Master System - Chapter 61 Death By Fire?!

-Several hours later-

Beep! Beep! Beep!

-Poison effect now removed-

“So that is why I felt so weak up until now.” Realizing that the Spider Queen left poison in his body, made Leo feel much better about the current events he found himself in.

Leo for the past several hours had tried everything that he could. He tried to roll around near sharp rocks, he tried to cast spells, and he even tried to activate some of his abilities without any results. Trying the process all over again, Leo was able to last longer testing his options out, but he still found himself unable to become free from the webbings that were wrapped around him.

“Well, if the Spider Queen’s personal webbings were easy to break free from, she wouldn’t be considered a queen at all!” thought Leo as he started to lay his head down on the ground of the cave to relax and recover some of his strength again.

“Wait a minute!” having one final idea, Leo’s face began to smirk as he looked at the screen that was in front of him. “It may not feel very good, but maybe I can summon that little guy once again and he can help free me from this webbing!”

What would happen next, Leo would not be willing to admit in his lifetime and would have some nightmares about this once again in the future for many nights. The screen was not one that Leo could use just with his voice, and this would be when he would notice this.

In general, Leo was able to call up different type of windows from the screen, however, he would need to physically press anything he wanted to do while using the screen’s features. This meant that although he was able to call up his inventory screen, he was unable to choose to withdraw anything!

Now in an unusual predicament, the only thing Leo could do, was to use his face to try and press the little tiger’s picture within the inventory to summon it properly. This was because his arms and legs were still wrapped in thick webbings.

First, Leo tried to use his tongue to press the picture of the tiger cub, but it only ended up in a failure that he was unwilling to try again from feeling stupid. Leo then tried to swing himself once again to roll towards the screen so that he could headbutt it.

This only made him dizzy due to spending an hour rolling around the screen, instead of directly towards it. Shaking his head to remove his dizziness, Leo, now feeling less lightheaded and back to normal had one final idea.

Using his nose, Leo was able to finally able to position himself close enough to the screen where his nose could hit the little tiger cub’s picture on his inventory screen. In less than a breath of time, the little tiger cub was now summoned.

Letting out a cute little yawn, and wiping off the tired tears from its eyes, the little tiger cub looked at Leo for the first time in quite some time. It recalled how Leo tried to use it to scout the spider cave, but then it recalled Leo teaming up with it to create a big fire.

Though the first memory hurt this little tiger cub, the second memory made it feel good and closer again to Leo. Walking towards Leo, the little tiger cub gently licked Leo’s cheeks before laying down next to him.

“Hey little buddy! Why don’t you use that tail of yours to cut through this webbing so we can leave this place once and for all?” Leo pleaded with the tiger cub. At this point, the tiger cub was the only thing that could help him escape now and Leo was extremely desperate.

Hearing such a weird request from its master, the tiger cub looked at Leo and swung its head to look sideways at him before laying back down and closing its eyes. It remembered how big of a fire its tail created several days earlier and was unwilling to see its master suffer.

Leo spent several minutes pleading with the tiger cub and offering it so many delicacies, including a lifetime supply of food. However, the tiger cub was unwilling to fold and set its master on fire. It even got to the point where the tiger cub started to back away from Leo.

“Alright you win then!” finally at his end, Leo called out to the little tiger cub in defeat. “How about you come over next to me to sleep? I am sure that you are feeling really tired, right?” Leo asked the tiger cub in a sincere manner.

Hearing of its victory, the little tiger cub finally realized that Leo was willing to no longer ask it to set him on fire. With a big stride, the tiger cub dashed over next to Leo before falling asleep. Seeing the tiger cub finally asleep, Leo chose to make a move.

Without wasting any time, Leo twirled himself around until he was close to the tiger cub’s flaming tail. After several minutes, the flame on the tiger cub’s tail started to heat up the webbing until it finally caught on fire!
