My Card Girl's Infinite Evolution

"Unrelenting blade, everything falls before it. Fear reigns beneath the iron hooves, and all life is reduced to misery... Heh heh heh, are you ready to face death?"

The deep voice of Hecarim echoed across the entire Shadow Island.

With heavy hoofbeats, it advanced.

Clop! Clop! The sound of hooves grew louder, approaching with a sense of dread, especially on this dim, eerie island, amplifying the fear and unease.

The long blade it wielded gleamed with a ghostly blue light, razor-sharp. As it swung, the sound of the air being cut filled the space—a sound of slaughter.

Behind it, flickering shadows appeared, resembling a powerful cavalry unit, aiming to pierce through their enemy's formation.

Luo Sheng was not to be outdone.

He immediately summoned [Raging Blizzard].

The card floated in his palm, emitting a wild surge of ice-elemental energy that spread across the ground, rapidly freezing the earth beneath them.

Moments later, Hecarim's hoofbeats slowed.

The evolved [Blizzard Gale] produced twice as much ice as before, enough to freeze its horseshoes.

With each step it took, the ice cracked beneath its hooves, slowing it significantly.

Most of Hecarim's powerful attacks relied on speed, but now that it was slowed, its damage was reduced by half.

At this moment.

"Let's move!"

Luo Sheng ordered his card girls.

Dongfang Muqing immediately used Silent Spirit Call on it, reducing its damage.

Bai Moxue reflected red silk under the ice, which shot out from all sides, binding Hecarim tightly.

Acoley launched dozens of fireballs, which exploded violently, sending flames into the sky. The entire Shadow Island was illuminated by the fiery blasts.

Fire dealt high damage to the undead.

After being hit, Hecarim howled in pain, its voice filled with fury.

This was the first time it had been treated like this.

"I will crush your bones and leave you without a grave!"

Hecarim roared with hatred, its voice reverberating across the island.

It let out an enraged scream: "Let me show you the power of Shadow Island!"

The island trembled, and numerous undead knights emerged from the shadows, surrounding Hecarim.

They swiftly tore apart the red silk bindings.

Then, they sped up, gathering around Hecarim, forming a massive ghostly cavalry aiming to trample everything in their path.

Shadow Charge was Hecarim's ultimate skill.

It had no choice but to use it now, pushed into a corner by the relentless attacks.

"Get in!"

Luo Sheng shouted.

The card girls quickly gathered around him, and Luo Sheng grabbed the [Thousand Doors Shield].

A massive metal door frame rose from the ground, forming a fortress to shield them from the assault.

Hecarim's Shadow Charge collided with the Thousand Doors Shield.

Clang!! A loud metallic sound rang across the island.

Hecarim tried to break through the fortress, but no matter how it charged, the Thousand Doors Shield remained immovable.

In the end, its speed was completely negated, and its attacks were ineffective.

Luo Sheng quickly opened the door and led the girls out.

Using the Raging Blizzard's barrier ability, he created massive ice sculptures that solidified and trapped Hecarim in place.

"Damn it! Human, you should not have come here!"

Hecarim raged.

Alice quickly engaged with it.

A stopped horse was a perfect target, and she wielded her molecular whip, striking it relentlessly.

Acoley also launched a barrage of explosive arts around it.

"Alice, bind it!"

"Understood."

Alice cracked her whip, and the molecular whip, fine and sharp like spider silk, wrapped around Hecarim, binding it tightly.

Hecarim's armor scraped against the thin molecular threads, producing sparks and a screeching sound.

Luo Sheng followed up with a Holy Light spell.

This was a healing card, but when used on the undead, the divine light had a powerful weakening effect.

"No! Damn you humans, ah!!!"

Under the light, Hecarim's body was engulfed in ghostly flames.

As its life force dwindled, it grew weaker and weaker.

At that moment.

Luo Sheng shouted to Bai Moxue, "Now, quickly subdue it."

"Yes, Boss."

Bai Moxue took out several talismans, using purification spells and a golden pill she obtained from the King of Hell's treasury, dripping her blood onto it.

Her spiritual energy entered Hecarim's body.

Immediately, its skeletal form was engulfed in even larger ghostly flames.

"I will never bow to you! I am loyal to... the darkness!!"

Hecarim struggled violently, resisting Bai Moxue's magical intrusion.

But after Luo Sheng and his card girls had weakened it, there was no way it could resist the power of the King of Hell's artifact.

Eventually, the blue ghostly flames turned into bright red flames, signaling its change of allegiance.

"Where my king's heart leads, our swords follow. I will be loyal to you, Queen."

Hecarim knelt before Bai Moxue.

The transition was swift and decisive.

Luo Sheng quietly approached Bai Moxue, asking in a low voice, "Can you really control it completely?"

He was a bit worried that Hecarim might suddenly rebel and stab Bai Moxue in the back.

Although Hecarim was a strong card, it had a history of betrayal.

Bai Moxue smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry, I've left a mark on its soul. I control its soul, and with just a thought, it will turn to dust. This is the King of Hell's Ghost Mastery."

"What if one day it becomes stronger than you?"

"It won't. Even if it grows stronger, part of its power will be sent back to me. That's the power of a loyal follower, as I've branded it with a steel mark in its mind."

Bai Moxue explained in detail.

"Seems like it's a good deal," Luo Sheng nodded.

If he ever entered Bai Moxue's card world again, she would likely be very pleased to have such a powerful ally brought to her.

Luo Sheng thought of Xia Xingri.

That guy's cards could infinitely stack effects—four cards resulting in eight.

It was truly outrageous.

Now, perhaps he could let Bai Moxue control The War Shadow.

With that, Luo Sheng left the card world.

The War Shadow – Hecarim continued evolving in its card world, and after Bai Moxue successfully subdued it, it became a strange presence on Shadow Island.

With its power, it began to conquer its former subordinates, turning more and more of the dark-blue ghost knights into red.

But one day, the fallen king and queen, who had become evil spirits, saw their positions threatened. They decided to expel Hecarim, and a new war began.

The card world's scene froze at that moment.
