Wizard: I can predict the future

Nord looked at the figure before him, who seemed to have entered an uninhabited place, and subconsciously glanced at Noxia.

"Who is this?"

Noxia remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking:

"The Magician Castor".

Cards were constantly being generated in Castor's hands, each one elusive and eerie.

It felt like mowing down enemies in a game of Musou.

The other party's methods made Nord subconsciously think of wizards.

This was something that a legendary knight like him could not face, even though he possessed some of the authority of the spades.

"I am no match for him."

Nord turned his gaze to Noxia and asked tentatively.

"Your strength?"

If Noxia could stand up to him, he didn't want to give up the chance to leave.

If Noxia hesitates, he will leave without hesitation.

He might risk everything for a chance to survive, but that doesn't mean he'd throw his life away.

Noxia kept her head down.

After a long while, he slowly raised his head and looked at the figure still engaged in the killing.

Even at my peak, I wasn't confident I could take him down.

Upon hearing this, Nord did not hesitate at all and turned to leave.

Suddenly, he felt Noxia grab his sleeve.

He turned to look at Noxia.

"If you want to die, don't drag me down with you."

Noxia paused for a moment, then released her hands and looked at the cards above the pyramid.

"If we can get that card, we can easily kill Caster."

Nord stopped and turned to look at Caster, who was now closer to the pyramid.

"What kind of card is that?"

"The Joker card."

"The Joker card is a loophole in Poker City; anyone near the Joker card will lose all control."

Upon hearing this, Nord's eyes lit up, and he immediately saw Castor, who had already arrived at the base of the pyramid.

"But he's currently underground at the pyramid; how are we supposed to get the Joker card?"

Noxia stared intently at Caster.

"I'll distract him, and you find an opportunity to go up and get the Joker card."

As soon as she finished speaking, she quietly moved towards the pyramids.

Nord watched Noxia's departing figure.

Her small figure seemed like a speck of dust in front of the entire pyramid.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally moved in another direction.

"I'll hide to the side for now. If Noxia can hold out for ten seconds, I can climb to the top of the mountain."

If Noxia is instantly killed upon meeting him, he will have no choice but to quietly flee.

After Nord had hidden himself on the other side of the pyramid.

Suddenly, a dark red beam of light appeared in the distance, shooting straight into the sky.

The moment the light appeared.

Halfway up the mountain, Castor stopped what he was doing and slowly looked up.

His gaze fell on the pillar of light, and he paused slightly.

For a moment, it was as if I forgot everything around me.

Several unlicensed individuals had already closed in on him, and several paper daggers slashed down.

He didn't come to his senses until the blade struck him.

Caster snorted coldly.

With a flick of his finger, several cards flew out, instantly tearing several cardless players to pieces.

It was as if he was venting.

The next moment, cards silently appeared and unfolded layer by layer.

The space trembled slightly.

His figure had disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already a kilometer away.

Nord looked away and then back at the pyramid.

Suddenly, they discovered that Castel, who was halfway up the mountain, had vanished without a trace.

The unlicensed players who had been relentlessly closing in on him lost their target and wandered around aimlessly like headless flies.

After a while, it calmed down and wandered aimlessly.

Nord quickly scanned his surroundings.

Soon, a constantly flashing figure could be seen approaching the dark red pillar of light.

He did not hesitate at all.

He burst into motion and charged straight toward the pyramid.

It moved so fast that it left only a faint afterimage in its original position.

Unlicensed pedestrians along the way were hit and thrown into the air.

Their bodies rolled and scattered.

The next moment, they struggled to their feet and looked at the culprit.

They didn't understand why their companions could suddenly unleash such speed, nor did they understand what the other was trying to do.

After only a moment, they calmed down and began to wander aimlessly.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Noxia sat quietly on the ground.

Countless dark red rays of light slowly emanated from her body, eventually converging into a towering pillar of light.

Her once pure white, paper-like body has now turned gray and mottled.

It looks as if it has been scorched by flames, losing its original hard texture, as if it could be pierced with a simple poke.

The floral pattern on her chest had also turned deathly pale.

She looked up at the figure that had suddenly appeared in front of her.

He braced himself on the ground with both hands and stood up, his body trembling slightly.

She had barely steadied herself when Castor was already three meters in front of her.

He looked at her at that moment, his gaze shifting slightly.

As if instinctively wanting to step forward to help, he ultimately didn't take the step.

After a moment, he sighed softly.

Why bother?

Noxia let out a chilling laugh:

"Hehehe".

"Isn't this what you wanted to see?"

After a moment of silence, Castor took a step forward.

"Are you still holding a grudge about that?"

"You know, if I don't do this, you'll die."

Noxia looked at Castor's "it's for your own good" expression and suddenly roared.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"

"In this situation, I'd rather die."

Caster looked at the opponent's increasingly weak body and drew a card.

With a flick of his wrist, the card shot out into the air.

The moment it touched Noxia's body, the overflowing dark red light was instantly compressed and poured back into her body.

Immediately afterwards, a faint green light appeared on the surface of the card.

Noxia's body slowly recovered.

The gray fades, and the paper regains its smooth, clean white color.

"You know I'm here."

"As long as you don't think about getting your identity back, you can still stay in the inner city."

Noxia looked at Caster without saying a word.

Instead, he slowly took out the dagger tucked at his waist.

Her attitude was very clear.

Caster pointed, and several cards appeared out of thin air, forming a circle above Noxia.

No matter what Noxia did, she couldn't take a single step out.

He turned around and looked in the direction of the pyramids.

"Are you hoping that outsider will get the Joker card?"

Caster shook his head slightly and turned to look at Noxia.

"Noxia".

"You've been the arbiter for so long."

"Don't you know that only residents of Poker City can obtain the Joker card?"

"Outsiders, once they make contact, the rules will erase them themselves."

Noxia stood there, motionless.

Just looking in the direction of the pyramids.

Nord is already at the top of the tower, about to touch the Joker card.

She suddenly laughed.

"You're still the same as always."

"Everything is calculated clearly."

She raised her head, and the expression on her face, which was gradually recovering, had returned to calm.

"But did you really think I gave him an anonymous nameplate?"
