《Blank Card - Destroyer X Destroyer (Volume 1)》The Power System
Advertisement
Many questions are still unclear to me.
But the biggest one of them is...
HOW DO I USE MY POWERS?
Everyone was gathered in the hall. We all were sitting on the sofa and Varsha was standing in front of us with a happy and cheerful face.
“Alright, everyone! I’m happy to announce that since we are a 6 person team, we are now officially eligible to take on Quests and Missions!”
A big and bold line saying ‘QUESTS AND MISSIONS UNLOCKED’ appeared on her head and I heard many kids yelling ‘YA~Y!’ in background.
“Are we in a game or something?” I said to myself while looking around surprised.
The others started cheering happily.
“Er, what is going on?” I asked Elena, who was sitting on my left.
“When the king of any group gathers 6 members or more, they are allowed to take Missions and Quests which are allotted by the higher authority and leaders of the 3 Factions. Successful completion of the Missions will reward you with Money, artefacts or any other thing.” Elena explained to me.
“Yes. Moreover, we have received our first quest already.” Varsha further continued.
“Already? That's good news. What quest is it?” Raghav asked with excitement.
“Its a quest to defeat some Roaming Elusive Duckies.(RED)”
“Duckies?” I asked with an idiotic face. “I have better things to do than battle some random duckies!”
“They are not some random duckies. You'll understand when you see them.” Alisa told me while laughing.
We then reached at the site of the mission. It was a place which had many giant trees with thick trunks. There were also many huge stones around that place. The shadows made by those trees was very dense.
“Holy Fuc... What's with this place?” I was speechless and was looking around restlessly.
“This is the habitat of Imperial Birds.” Varsha told.
“Imperial birds?”
“Yes. A magical race of birds. They can change their sizes and like to live in dark and cold environments, away from humans.” Raghav explained.
“Why? Do they hate humans?” I asked.
“Not exactly. But they like to stay away as much as possible. They are peace loving creatures and keep their distance with humans.” Raghav further answered.
“Leo, I’d like you to only observe our fighting styles today. Pay close attention to how we utilize our magic. That'll help you to draw out your own power.” Varsha suggested me.
“Oh, alright. But where’s that cute duckie which you have to battle?” I asked.
“Look closely.” Raghav said while pointing somewhere deep in the shadows of the trees.
There was one large nest in the shadows and a strange creature was sitting in it. That creature was wildly eating something which looked like a giant bird’s body. There were many eggs in the nest and some of them were broken. There were battle scars on the trees around them.
“Impudent creature! How can it kill an innocent animal?” Alisa disgusted with an angry face.
“It noticed our presence.” Elena said with an alert tone.
The creature moved towards us and then it came to light. My head got blown by the sight of that creature. It had black body and its feathers were torn and crushed. It's beak was soaked in blue blood.
“Holy Crap! There's no way that's a duck!” I exclaimed with a shocked face. “It looks more like a vulture.”
The bird spreads its wings and took off in the sky. It then opened it's mouth and a yellowish-red light started glowing in it.

“It’s attacking! Everyone, take cover!”
Varsha waves her hand at us while yelling. Everyone scattered and hid behind the stones. She pulled me behind a big stone as the beast breathed out fire. The fire was blocked by the stones but it went all around and the whole ground got dyed in black.
“Hey, you okay?” She asks me.
She was lying on me and my face was buried in her boobs.
“Yup! I’m more than okay!” I said while giving her a thumbs up.
“Good to hear that you're enjoying, but now’s not the time for it!” She sat up on my waist and tried to peek at the beast's movements.
Damn. I wanted to stay like that a little longer. Wait, its not the right time, she said? That means there IS a right time! If only I can grasp that time perfectly then I can squeeze those juicy jugs! Man, I never realized time was so fucking important! My whole life was a damn lie! Shit!
“Everyone, let's start the battle!”
“Just command it, Varsha!” All the others replied confidentially.
“Um? I'm already in a battle to not get hard down there since you are sitting on it. So can you please keep me out of this one?” I said to Varsha while raising my hand. She's still sitting a little down my waist.
“Raghav, pass a sword to Leo so he can defend himself.” She ordered while standing up. “Leo, watch closely as we get the job done. Everyone, get your weapons ready.”
Alisa bought her left hand forward and closed her eyes. A red coloured magic circle formed under her. Then a red coloured rod formed horizontally in front of her and she grabbed it via her left hand and opened her eyes. She rotated the rod a few times and then held it vertically. The rod took the shape of a bow and she pulled it's string via her right hand. A blue coloured arrow formed automatically.
“Badass!” My eyes were shining as I looked at her.
As for Raghav, he held his hands in a cross and 2 small magical circles appeared on his left and right. 2 sword hilts came out of them. He held their grips, took them out in an awesome way and then held them vertically in front of himself. The tips of those swords were releasing fire sparks and he looked really cool.
“Damn, that's cool!” I sounded jealous.
Then I looked at Elena. She closed her eyes and then puts her right hand on her chest. Her chest started glowing and a magical circle appeared on her head. The circle engulfed her and her clothes changed into a battle outfit which looked like a witch's outfit. But this is one heck of a sexy witch! Her boobs can bounce around in that thing easily. Now that's a perfect outfit for battle and for other things too. Hehehe.
“NoW THat's A SiGht To WaTCh CLOS-LEY” I said in a rhyming tone.
Then my eyes fall on old man Ken. His body was glowing a little. A transparent Aura surrounded him.
“That's not much of a change.” I said while looking at him.
“Leo, listen closely. In our world, each team is based on a deck of cards. That card gives you extra strength and attributes and also defines your rank in the team. I am the ‘KING’ and all of you in my team have one card in them. You are familiar with all the 13 cards, right?”

“Yeah. I have a little idea about them.”
“Good. Next, there are 8 classes in which a human’s strength is classified. They are Conjuror, Enhancer, Tank, Swordsman, Summoner, Archer, Healer and Shielder.”
“It's coming at us again.” Alisa warned with a quick voice.
“I'll start the fun.” Ken said and then ran towards the bird. He then jumped really high and landed on a rock and then jumped again. His fist started glowing and he landed a punch on the bird’s face. The bird let out a loud cry and fell on the ground.
“Damn!” I was astonished. “What the heck IS he?”
“Ken is a 'TANK' and have card number '4’. That's the rank.”
“So that's how it works, Huh? Then Raghav and Alisa are ...” I looked at them with a serious look.
“Yes. A ‘SWORDSMAN’ of rank '10’ ...” Varsha told while looking at Raghav.
“That's me, alright.” Raghav said with a smile and then slashed off the bird’s legs. The bird started screeching.
“... And an ‘ARCHER’ of rank '6’.” She continued while looking at Alisa.
Alisa was sitting on a tall tree. She shot 4 arrows and they got carved in ground around the bird, forming a square. The next second, they formed a prison and the bird got trapped.
“Awesome view!” I said with a smug and nosebleed. I can totally see under her skirt. Trees are the best!
Suddenly a big explosion happened behind me. I turned and saw that the bird’s prison had an explosion by Elena’s magic.
“She's an 'ENHANCER’ and her rank is 'QUEEN’.”
“Will you introduce yourself or do I need to do that, Varsha?” Elena, who was standing beside me, askes that while adjusting her witch’s hat. She then gave me a sweet smile. Varsha smiled.
“I, am your ’KING’ and my class is 'CONJUROR’.”
“Conjuror? A magician?” I asked.
“Yes. She's good with her magic.” Elena commented.
“A~lright, so what am I?” I asked excitedly.
“My 'ACE'.” She smiled.
“Ace? You mean number '1’?” I stared at her and she blinked at me while nodding.
“You gotta be kidding me! That's the weakest number, for god's sake!” I yelled, fully disappointed.
“No. In fact, it’s the strongest.”
“What? How?” I got curious and asked.
“You are a Blank Card and you can use any power that you wish. It's just like writing on a blank paper. You can draw anything you want and can erase it and redraw a new thing. Your potential is limitless. You can use everything. All the attributes are under your command. Now you understand, why a Blank Card is so important? Why YOU, are important!” Varsha explained.
“Badass!” I was totally speechless and happy.
I'm a total bigshot and I can use all kinds of powers! I'm a one man army! My dream is no longer a dream, Damn it! THAT'S FREAKING AWESOME!
“Try it. If you succeed, I’ll give you a reward that you'll like.” She added.
Reward? That I'll like? There's only one thing that I like! Will she really give that to me? I'm so glad I'm alive to hear this!
Suddenly the bird shot another round of flames towards me and Varsha. Raghav blocked the flamethrower and it got collected on the tip of the blade. He then slashed it towards the bird. The whole flame was compressed into a slash and hits the bird. It let out another cry and crashed into a tree trunk.
“Hey! Hey! I wanna try that kickass move too! I can do it, right?” My eyes shined like stars as I said that.
He smiled and passed me his sword.
“Now you're talking like my buddy! Let your magic flow into the sword and it'll counter the opponent's magic.” Raghav explained.
I breathed out confidentially like a bull.
“Here I come, you imposter Vulture!” I raised my sword towards it and it shot a flame ball towards me. I blocked it successfully.
“Good job, Leo!” Elena cheered me.
Then I slowly turned towards them with teary eyes. The blade was totally melted and only the hilt was remaining in my hands.
“Emmmmmmm” I was crying (Fakely).
I sat behind the big stone quickly and squeezed into myself as much as I could.
“I won't fight it anymore. I give up.” I said in a scared high pitched voice.
“Oh, come on. It was just one try! We're here to save the Imperial birds, Remember?” Raghav encouraged.
“I don't fight for some random birds. I only fight for huge fuckin’ Melons! No way am I fighting it anymore.” My voice was totally like a small kid.
Elena and Varsha giggled.
“KIEK! KIEK! KIEK!”
A high pitched voice fell in our ears. It was a small bird of blue colour.
“An Imperial bird’s child? How cute!” Ken said.
Dude, you sound like a super cute and hot chick. But you are not! So stop ruining everything! Otherwise, I'll get nightmares!
The baby was looking like a real duck sized duck. It was totally a real duck, just of Icy blue colour. That thing emerged from behind a tree. It looked injured and was running away scared.
“Damn! The Elusive bird is targeting the baby!” Alisa yelled from above.
Oh, shit! I totally forgot to peek under her skirt second time! Trees are awesome!
The bird was about to launch its fire cannon. I quickly threw the sword and ran towards the little bird.
“LEO!” Varsha called me with a tensed voice.
“I'll be alright!” I yelled and then dived towards the little bird. I held it in my arms and then rolled away, dodging the flame piss coming from the RED’s mouth. We safely stopped near a tree and I hid behind it quickly.
“Hey! You are a real duckie!” I said happily.
It looked at me with scared eyes and then started hitting on my head with its beak.
“Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow. We’re on the same side, Man!! Stop drilling my head!” I painfully yelled and then I caught that bird by its neck.
“If you hit me once more, I swear that I'll eat you for dinner, got it?” I threatened it with an evil face and it's face got pale and colourless.
“WATCH OUT!” Raghav yelled at me.
The bird was ready for another flame shower. It launched it’s attack.
“EEEK!”
I quickly stood up and ran away, cuddling the Imperial bird in my arms.
“How dare you try and hurt him!” Varsha sounded pissed. Her hairs started shaking and an intense blue Aura surrounded her.
“Your grisly and audacious behaviour have crossed the limits now. You'll be obliterated for this sin.”
She raised her right hand and formed a magic circle. A dark blue flame rushed towards the bird and it literally got erased right from its place. What the hell is up with her power?
“Follow her obediently otherwise you'll get wiped out. Lesson acquired.” I gulped. My face was colourless.
Then some Imperial birds came out from shadows. Their size was of a peacock. I walked forward and left the baby bird on the ground. It ran to the dead body in the nest and started crying.
“Looks like that was its Dad.” Alisa said with a sad voice.
All the other birds gathered around that body and looked sad.
“That must've been their leader. Poor guy died while protecting the eggs.” Varsha shows her sympathies. “That's just how life is. Ends one day, and no one realises.”
I walked forward to the nest. The birds made a way for me. Maybe they were afraid of me.
“Hey, little guy.” I tried to touch it, but it angrily growled at me and changed its size to that of lion.
“Be careful!” Raghav was about to dash towards me but Varsha raised her hand and stopped him.
The bird tried to threaten me.
I started petting its head while smiling gently.
“Your Dad died protecting you and your fellows. You should be proud of him. Don’t make him sad by crying. You are braver than that.”
The bird growled and then slowly calmed down.
“Let's give him a proper resting place. He's been strong for too long. It's time that he takes a break.”
I turned to the others.
“Can you help me out in digging a grave?”
They all smiled at me. Then we properly buried that bird’s body and treated the baby bird’s wound.
“It's time to go.” Varsha spoke to me.
“Yeah, sure.” I then looked at the baby bird. It was back in its original size. It flew to me and sat on my shoulder and started rubbing its beak on my cheek.
“Looks like it’s saying ‘Thank you’.” Elena said.
“Your welcome. See you later, dude. I should go now.”
I put the bird down and walked away. We all waved at them as all the Imperial birds walked inside the trees’ darkness.
“That was very sweet of you, Leo.” Elena praised me.
“You are a Pervert. But you are a good Pervert.” Alisa commented with a smile.
“As for your reward, come here.”
Varsha pulls my face in her chest.
“You deserve a hug for all this.” She says.
Maaaaaaaan! These milky balloons are even softer than her lap! I feel like I'm suffocating in pillows of happiness!
The others were looking at us with a surprised face. After a couple of seconds...
“Alright. That's enough reward for one day.” She leaves me.
“Damn. If I knew that the reward was of this calibre, I would've slayed that ugly duck myself.” I said while sitting in a corner, all depressed. Black lines surrounded me.
“Better luck next time, Pervert.” Alisa giggled.
“Alright everyone. Our task is done here. Let's head back to Central Square. We have to meet someone there.” Varsha ordered.
“Alright!” We all replied and followed her.
What's this Central Square now?
Another load of trouble?
But since our Master have ordered, and because she's hot AF,
I'LL FOLLOW HER ANYWHERE!!!
