Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Forebearer's Cards Part 1
"Lord of Blackwood, just a country bumpkin, only knows a mundane sword technique and a step technique learned from my Garcia, and dares to act wildly in my Garcia!"
Inside Garcia.
Nathan, holding a long knife, was facing the fierce attacks of a mid-stage Emerging Ability expert!
Though he possessed four traits, as the Emerging Ability expert said, Nathan's Emerging Ability stage was indeed diluted.
The techniques he learned were all common, and after reaching Emerging Ability, he hadn't even managed to learn some spells, not a match for a typical Emerging Ability stage opponent, merely having a unique ability.
At best, he could only match an early-stage Emerging Ability.
Now facing a mid-stage Emerging Ability, his original chaotic techniques suddenly became more composed, which made the Garcia Psychic wonder, "Still daring to counterattack, where do you get the courage?"
Nathan grinned.
"Courage given by the Forebearer!"
In an instant.
The Forebearer cards in Nathan's embrace floated out, appearing in front of him!
"What kind of supernatural equipment is this?"
The mid-stage Emerging Ability expert was stunned.
This thing looked just like a cards, who would bring a Forebearer's cards to a deadly fight?
But then a terrifying scene occurred!
The Forebearer cards split into ten, each rushing towards him and then exploding!
Equivalent to the peak of Foundational Energy explosion, even he had to defend against it.
The same scene also occurred with all the Blackwood descendants!
Luna was initially struggling against a mid-stage Emerging Ability expert, naturally falling behind.
But her Forebearer cards suddenly appeared from her embrace, delivering a critical strike to her opponent!
Julian, wielding a hammer, roamed the battlefield.
He was a complete brute, charging wherever he found an Iron Will expert equal to him, daring to rush into a crowd of a hundred if no one stronger opposed him.
The Forebearer cards also appeared beside him, always killing any Iron Will expert trying to ambush him!
Compared to the family's battles.
Amelia was obviously more relaxed, sitting on a giant eagle at the peak of strange beasts, aiming and shooting arrows at the enemy.
Even with an early-stage Emerging Ability Psychic constantly tracking her from behind, he dared not approach, as Amelia's poison powder kept drifting backward.
She was also engaged in a harvesting operation.
"Hmph, despicable Blackwood scoundrel, you think you can escape?"
That Emerging Ability Psychic was so anxious he was about to jump, finally using a secret technique to appear in front of Amelia like teleportation.
But Amelia remained unmoved, quietly drawing her bow and arrow.
Then.
Two Forebearer cardss flew out from Amelia's embrace, launching a deadly attack on the early-stage Emerging Ability Psychic, followed by Amelia's poison-drenched arrows!
...
On the battlefield, Forebearer cardss rose one after another. The two elder Gonzalezes, locked in combat with the war AI Bionic Robots, quickly caught on to something.
"Special high-level psychic gear, huh?" One of the Gonzalez elders remarked, still launching attacks towards Ethan, who remained unfazed.
The appearance of these Forebearer cardss wouldn't shift the tide of battle. Their side was numerous and skilled, and the scales of victory would inevitably tip in their favor over time!
"I'll admit, we underestimated you folks at Blackwood. None of the families in our Forest Town could match you in battle," laughed a Gonzalez elder, trying to rattle Ethan.
"Too bad, your Blackwood is too foolish, daring to walk into our well-set trap in Forest Town alone. You're doomed to be wiped out today!"
On the screen, Ethan remained stoic. He acknowledged that entering Forest Town for a battle was reckless and tough.
But then...
He slowly clicked on the map, checking on the only Blackwood family member not yet in combat. "It's all on you now. If you don't show up soon, I really won't last much longer!"
As his words fell, figures suddenly appeared darting along the rooftops in the houses of Forest Town!
In the sky above the battlefield, several masters flew on their swords, rushing towards the fray to join Blackwood's ranks!
A flying dagger whizzed through the air, and even though a Gonzalez elder dodged in time, he still lost his right arm.
The elder turned his head to look behind him.
A middle-aged man in a purple robe retracted the flying dagger that had just severed the arm of the Gonzalez elder.
"What are you doing, you scoundrel?!" he exclaimed.
Watching the scene, Ethan breathed a sigh of relief.
In the distance, at the Rodriguez household.
Olivia, pushed by a maid in her wheelchair, wore a relaxed smile.
Around her, armed members of the Rodriguez family surged forth!
"The Rodriguez reinforcements have arrived!" someone shouted.
"Wait, we've got backup?" another voice chimed in with surprise.
"Charge! Let's wipe these scumbags off the map!" The battle instantly tipped in their favor as the Rodriguez family experts entered the fray.
The head of the Rodriguez family, a refined middle-aged man dressed in a flowing cloud-patterned robe, appeared beside Nathan.
He saw a cards explode in front of Nathan's opponent, a flicker of surprise in his eyes, and without hesitation, joined Nathan in combat against a mid-stage Emerging Ability expert.
With their combined efforts, the already injured opponent was quickly dispatched.
"So, you must be Nathan, my brother?" Mark forced a smile.
"That's me," Nathan replied, catching his breath. He seemed to have anticipated the Rodriguez family's intervention and naturally bowed to Mark. "Thanks for the solid backup, Mark."
"Don't mention it," Mark replied, his smile twitching. This reluctant assistance was a necessity!
Before coming to Blackwood, Mark had already received invitations from two other families to join forces against external threats. The Rodriguez family had never wanted to get involved, preferring to avoid any damage to their own.
But Mark had never expected that as soon as the battle in Forest Town began, Olivia from Blackwood would show up at his doorstep, offering him three choices:
Stand with the Heath and Gonzalez families against Blackwood, in which case Blackwood would abandon their base and Gratitude Village, leaving behind all resources.
Align with Blackwood, ensuring the Rodriguez family's dominance in Forest Town with a powerful ally. Remain onlookers, which would lead everyone to view them as opportunists, likely facing retribution after the battle.
"Nathan, we can't let Garcia and Gonzalez escape this time; it would only lead to future troubles," Mark said to a battered Nathan before heading off to assist him.
As he moved, Mark looked up at the war AI Bionic Robots flying towards the outskirts of Forest Town and the Purple Thunder Python wreaking havoc in the streets, still visibly shaken.
