Chapter 4: A Weird Weapon (2)

My monsters and I pushed forward, and we arrived at a mansion. I could see multiple girls inside the mansion moving around. What I was able to see was women fanning the bandits. Are they Cooling off the bandits? Were they forced to do that?

I was too focused on thinking, and a bandit's blade almost got to me. I was saved by the young samurai Yogen. Since they are monsters, protecting me is second nature. 

"Are you ok, Card Caster?" Yogen said while cutting someone in half. A lot of blood was sprayed all over the place. Thankfully, nothing landed on me. I was spared from all fluids. 

"Yeah, I was thinking about how the bandits could attack us easily. They were able to infiltrate thanks to that rich foreigner." I said, not speaking Tien's name to keep the conversation short. 

 I said that without thinking. They could be using Tien's base as a temporary base. I don't have all the information to make absolutes. I believe it is likely due to Tien's hidden money-making businesses. 

Damn, it! I need to fight, too. I hate to use this weapon, but I cannot let my monsters fight for me. I hate using this weapon since I feel bad about it. I called the card's name out loud and equipped The Blade of Cultivators. 

When the sword was equipped, I felt tired. It was a short, one-handed cultivator sword. It is hard to describe because I can only compare it to images from the lust system shop tab. It looks like a Western sword but shortened.

I assume this is a blade that Fu Xien would use. I assume she comes from the land of cultivators, or that is her origin of race. Could she teach me how to use this sword? I was lost in thought again and almost got stabbed by a bandit rushing towards me. I used my reflexes somehow based on instincts and slashed the bandit, trying to stab me. No blood or cuts could be seen. Yet, he just fell down. 

A message appeared in my field of vision. It stated that a B-ranked skill was taken. It did not tell me the skill's name, nor did I gain a new skill. I looked at my status to ensure I did not get another skill. Sadly, no skill was obtained. I did see in my stats that some numbers were gray. 

I gained a new skill called Stat Absorber. I would gain a fraction of their stats at the end of the day. It is not the end of the day. Meaning I will get the stats that are grayed later. Regardless, I feel better knowing that I can fight alongside monsters. 

"You can wield weapons that only cultivators use? The Card Caster skill is very odd and unique." The warrior named Yoshi said. After Yoshi said that the gate to the mansion. Who I assume is Tien's based on having so many women in it. 

It opened wide, and a new rush of bandits came out. These look like tough nuts. High members in the bandit clan based on their wears—an endless wave of people to be killed. I feel bad for these monsters. Eventually, I need to summon more. I hope I draw more monster cards. 

I drew a spell card called Far Beyond Greed. It will allow me to draw four cards, which is good since I ran low on them. Yes! Another monster card. I can have more comrades to help me in this fight. Who the hell names their kids Vas…How do I even pronounce this?
