Chapter 6: Summoning Card
In the wilderness, Calvin and Laxus faced each other. A defensive magic circle surrounded Calvin. In front of him were three Summoning beasts. They were 'Chimera, the Flying Mythical Beast', Curse of Dragon, and 'Gaia, the Fierce Knight'.
Opposite him, Laxus's arms were covered in scales, and lightning flashed around his body from time to time, giving off a majestic aura.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed from all over his body, and he instantly arrived beside Chimera. A fist covered in lightning had already struck the abdomen of Chimera. Chimera was immediately sent flying, and a charred wound was shown on its abdomen.
The Lightning Dragon's Collapsing Fist!
It was rumored that the lungs of a lightning dragon could spit out lightning. Its scales could conduct lightning, and its claws could entangle electricity. However, the magic that Laxus was using now was dragon-slaying magic. He was the legendary sorcerer of Draconic Demon!
After sending Chimera flying, Laxus flashed and once again appeared above the Chimera. His right foot flashed with lightning as he struck down on the Chimera's head. The Chimera was struck into the ground by this attack.
"Haha! Calvin! Is your Summoning beast only that weak?" As expected, Calvin's Summoning beast would immediately be no match for him once he used the dragon-slaying magic.
"Dragon Destroying Magic? It's a hundred times stronger than Natsu! You bastard, you hid it so well!" Calvin frowned and thought to himself. The defeated Chimera turned back into a card and flew back into his hand.
At the same time, Laxus took the opportunity to face the most powerful one, Gaia, the Fierce Knight. Gaia faced Laxus. The two spears in his hands flashed like lightning and stabbed out dozens of spear shadows. Laxus waved his right hand down to the ground. A lightning bolt struck between him and Gaia, blocking all of Gaia's attacks.
At the same time, his left hand was ready, and he once again struck out the Lightning Dragon's Collapsing Fist.
Whoosh!
At this time, a few magic arrays on the ground circled around the hands of Laxus, stopping his punch. Laxus looked up and saw that it was indeed the doing of Calvin behind him.
"The Summoning beast faced the attack head-on while you hid behind my back and used all sorts of tricks. It is still the same coward tactic as before," Laxus said disdainfully.
"It's just a point of view and angle. I think this is the most suitable way for a sorcerer to fight!" Calvin chuckled and raised his other hand towards Laxus. Another magic circle wrapped around his body from the ground.
"Amaterasu's Formula 17, Cylindrical array!"
Laxus was bound entirely by this magic circle and could not move at all. At this time, Curse of Dragon and Gaia, the Fierce Knight, had already aimed their strongest attacks at him.
Hell Flame! Spiral Lance Strike!
"You think this kind of small trick can defeat me? Too naive!" The moment the attack landed in front of him, he released a flash of huge lightning to protect himself, blocking the attacks of the dragon and Gaia, and breaking free from Calvin's binding formation.
The next moment, Laxus, who had turned into a massive ball of lightning, swung down to the ground in a circle. The lightning passed through the ground, passed through Gaia and Curse of Dragon, and passed in front of Calvin.
"What a powerful magic. Just 11 rules won't be enough!" Calvin felt a chill in his heart. He quickly drew a complicated magic array with his hands and pulled an even more powerful Defensive Magic array before he arrived.
Amaterasu's Formula 22, Circle Shield!
The words magic array in front of Calvin formed a shield. The magic array on the shield was like ripples, forming a circular pattern.
"Amazing!" Laxus praised, not letting go of the moment Calvin was careless in drawing the magic array.
"Amaterasu's Formula 22. Even if you want to use it, you must pour all your energy into it!" As Laxus shouted, he released a round lightning bomb from his palm and hit Curse of Dragon's wings.
The attack power of this lightning bolt was not strong, but it was faster than the other spell. Launching several attacks in one go was one of the commonly used methods of Laxus.
"Damn it, do you want to seize the moment when I relax my control?" Calvin clicked his tongue and thought discontentedly.
As mentioned, the Summoning beast that Card of Summoning sent out had no soul. Calvin could only control it. However, maintaining the Summoning beast was not an easy job. Calvin's current level was at most three simultaneously, regardless of the strength.
However, Calvin's magic power is limited. If he can simultaneously summon the strongest three summoned beasts, he may be able to fight for three to four minutes at most. For this reason, Calvin developed a magic card that could fuse summoned beasts. Therefore, every time he fought, two of the summoned beasts he summoned must be able to fuse.
The fusion card that he had used before appeared in his hand. It was activated before Curse of Dragon fell, and a colossal magic array immediately floated above Gaia. The momentum was much greater than when he merged with the Phantom Beast King and Baphomet.
"Do you want to fuse? I can't let you succeed so easily!" However, the next moment, there was a humanoid black panther dressed in simple protective gear, wearing a purple-black cloak, and holding a single saber in his hand.
A panther warrior, a Summoned Beast with strength comparable to Curse of Dragon.
"To think that Summoning such a small fry could stop me... Calvin, are you looking down on me?" Laxus could sense the strength of a leopard warrior from the mana fluctuations. In front of him, who was at full power, he would only be killed in an instant. The leopard warrior was sent flying with a casual punch from the lightning dragon.
"There's no other way. This is already the strongest I can instantly summon." Calvin smiled happily. Although the Dark Panther Warrior was quickly injured, he had already bought enough time.
"Rider of the Dragon, Return from the Darkness!"
When the Dark Panther Warrior stopped Laxus, Calvin had successfully allowed Curse of Dragon to fuse with the dark knight and form an even stronger Summoning -- Gaia, the Dragon Champion!
The strength of the dragon knight was not inferior to Calvin's strongest cards. At this moment, Calvin finally used his full power.
"Is this kid saving mana? It's easier to summon stronger summoned beasts, but he needs to use the fusion method. Although the mana consumption is less, he should not lack this mana. What is his plan?" ..." Laxus once saw a summoned beast named 'Buster Blader' in the S-class mage assessment, and its strength was almost the same as that of the current dragon knight.
"Laxus, the battle has just begun." Calvin recalled the Dark Panther Warrior and stretched out his hands, the magic array with words floating on his palms.
"Hmph!" However, he did not reply.
"He is using the Law of Amaterasu with both hands. It seems he will focus on controlling and coaching the Dragon Knights in battle with me!" The corner of his mouth raised in excitement, and his body emitted a crackling sound.
"Lightning Dragon's Heavenward Halberd!" "Spiralling Lance Strike!"
The two massive energies collided, erupting with a mighty air current.

An hour later, the entire wilderness had been destroyed to the point where no part was intact. Whether it was Laxus or Calvin, they were gasping for breath. Laxus's body was injured, while Calvin's clothes were not even damaged. However, in comparison, Gaia, the Dragon Champion, was in a state where he was about to disappear. The armor on his body had already shattered, and he only had one spear left.
"Hmph, hmph, hmph... Dragon Knight is about to turn back into a card. You just used so many magic arrays, so I'm afraid you don't have any magic power left to summon the powerful Summoned Beast!" Laxus said with a smile. Although his injuries were not light and his physical strength was severely depleted, the ordinary summoned beast like Calvin was unable to do anything to him.
"Laxus, you're still fighting to your heart's content!" Calvin did not deny what Laxus said. Instead, he asked what the other party felt.
"Why? Do you want to beg for mercy? However, until I defeat you completely, I will not stop."
"Hmm... It seems that you are quite satisfied now. This should be enough, right?" Calvin ignored what he said and said to himself.
"Kid, don't you understand what I'm saying" As he was ignored, his body emitted a powerful aura. His aura was astonishing, and it did not seem like he just experienced a fierce battle.
"Hmph, you're an arrow at the end of its flight. What are you still pretending for?" Calvin laughed and took out a card, and activated it!
"You can still summon more Summoned Beast? But... this! What is this" Laxus, who was already prepared, found that his body could not move. He could not help but be shocked. He could only see a few swords formed from light inserted in the air.
"This card is called 'Sword of Revealing Light'. It can summon a sword of light that seals the opponent's actions. It will not disappear until the magic power is exhausted. I have already stored the magic power of this card, and it can last about three years if I sit here." Calvin said with a smile, no matter how disgusting that smile looked.
"Do you think this thing can seal me? You are too naive." Laxus smiled contemptuously and was about to break free.
"Give up. With your current magic power, you can't break free. This thing can also block the entry of magic particles. In other words, you can't restore your magic power while you are sealed. But don't worry, and it also has a protective effect. You will be fine." Without stopping Lexus from trying, Calvin only explained from the side.
"So that's how it is. After three hours, your magic power has recovered, and I'm still like this, so you think you've won." Laxus said unhappily, although he didn't want to admit it, but this time he realized that he underestimated the enemy.
"Well ---Probably, but I don't have the patience to wait for you for three hours. I have to go back." Calvin smiled gently. He summoned a Koumori Dragon, walked to his back, and whistled away.
"I'm going back to the guild first. Remember to return the Light Protection Sword to me later!" Sitting on Koumori Dragon, Calvin waved at Laxus from the air.

Three hours later, the light sword disappeared, and the card fell to the ground. Lexus picked it up and tore it up without any hesitation.
