Chapter 560: Destroy the Bell Tower
"Time reset?"
Sakura glanced at the clock which was about to point to twelve o'clock in the evening, and she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
"That's right." Xiao Ke stomped his feet in the air angrily, "My game save file was lost just like that. It made time start all over again. However, the time card can only reset the time once a day, and it needs to be at midnight. If we don't seal it quickly, we will have to go through what happened today again."
"good!"
Sakura nodded. In order to stop the exam from continuing, she had to seal the Time Card today no matter what!
Thinking of this, Sakura threw out a flying card to unseal it, and soared up again on her magic wand.
However, the moment she flew into the air, the clock hands that were originally moving according to the normal time suddenly accelerated.
The sound of the pointer moving constantly seemed unusually rapid. Sakura, who noticed the abnormality, was stunned for a moment. When she was about to ask what happened, Xiaoke had already reacted.
"Oh no! It accelerated time this time!"
As soon as Xiao Ke finished her panicked words, the two pointers on the dial overlapped and zero o'clock arrived ahead of schedule.
when--!
when--!
As the bell rang, the long river of time began to flow backwards under the power of the hour markers, the dial also rotated clockwise, and everything returned to midnight.
Early morning, school.
"Good morning!"
"Good morning……"
Sakura weakly greeted her classmates, and when she woke up in the morning and saw the calendar, she knew that today had come again.
The most uncomfortable thing about today was that she had to take another flute test in her music class. Including today, she had taken three days of tests. The nervousness from the test had turned into fatigue and helplessness.
It would be great if I didn't have an exam today, but no! I have to seal the time card tonight, and I can't continue with the exam.
Just as Xiaoying was secretly cheering herself up, Xia Yu pushed open the classroom door and walked in. After sitting down in his seat, Xia Yu asked in a low voice.
"Sakura, why did time reset again? How did you fail to seal the Clow Cards last night?"
If the system hadn't reminded him this morning, he wouldn't have known that today was already the third day of this repetition!
"Because time has been accelerated." Sakura collapsed on the table exhausted. "I just approached the clock tower, and time was accelerated to zero, and then time was reset."
"So... why don't we go earlier? Even if we speed up, it's impossible to reach zero point instantly." Xia Yu found a bright spot and asked.
"I want to, too."
Sakura was a little helpless. She also wanted to go earlier so that the margin of error would be increased.
But she had to attend classes during the day, and celebrate the successful completion of the exams with her nemesis brother at night. She could only find time to seal the Clow Cards after everyone in the family had gone to bed.
It would be great if she was an adult, then she wouldn't have to go to class and would have time to seal the Clow Cards.
Seeing Xiaoying's helpless expression, Xia Yu didn't ask any more questions.
Time is supreme, space is king, fate is unchangeable, and cause and effect are king.
He really had no good way to deal with the time-related Clow Cards. He could no longer remember the original plot, and he couldn't resist it with current means.
Unless you are willing to spend money and consume a lot of sunshine points to buy props or something, you can easily get through this plot.
But it's obviously not worth it. The Clow Cards will definitely be sealed in the end anyway. In that case, he just needs to get by.
No matter what the process is, the result will definitely not be wrong.
After all, a sinister man with glasses once said that there is no coincidence in this world, only inevitability.
The inevitable result will definitely come.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu lazily lay on the desk. Although it was a repetitive day, it was still the first day for him. In that case, he might as well just get through it.
Anyway, he didn't keep repeating the troubles of this day.
There was no change in today's day. The only change was that Li Xiaolang failed to kick the ball this time and was hit in the face by the ball instead.
However, although he was hit in the face by the ball, Li Xiaolang still successfully kicked the ball into the net.
At night, in the grove of Tomoeda Elementary School.
Sakura once again put on the elf uniform, and by the third time she was already familiar with it.
However, not long after she changed her clothes, a person who had not appeared in the previous two times suddenly appeared at the scene.
"Really? What are you doing?"
Li Xiaolang, dressed in a green Taoist robe, crossed his arms and walked slowly towards him, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face. There was a Band-Aid on his nose, as if he was injured.
Seeing that the person coming was Li Xiaolang, Xiaoying was a little worried: "Mr. Li, is your face okay?"
Obviously, student Li was able to kick the ball back easily the previous two times, but this time, he was hit in the face by the ball for some reason. Moreover, student Li was hit by the ball in different places three times, but he was still hit by the ball. I don’t know if it was bad luck or other reasons.
When Sakura mentioned the embarrassing incident that happened to him that afternoon, Li Syaoran's face darkened. He could not help but point at the clock tower angrily and said, "The time card has merged with the clock tower. If we use the attack card to destroy the clock tower, can't we restore the time card to its original state?"
"It's already the third day, and I've taken the flute test three times in a row, why haven't you sealed the time card yet!"
"I……"
Sakura opened her mouth, wanting to say that she had also taken the flute exam three times.
Xia Yu, who was standing by, brightened up after hearing Xiaolang's suggestion and asked, "Will destroying the clock tower work? Wouldn't it make the time card more difficult to seal?"
"How is that possible!"
Li Xiaolang snorted and said proudly: "I know the Clow Cards very well. As long as the Clock Tower loses its support, it will be very difficult for it to use the power of time. If you don't believe me, you can ask Keruberos. It is a sealed beast and must know this."
The little bird, who was originally floating nearby, heard that the little wolf mentioned him, so he had to fly in front of the little wolf reluctantly and nodded to confirm his words.
"Hmm... Although I don't want to admit it, what this kid said is indeed correct. As long as the clock tower is destroyed, the cards will not be able to cast time magic on a large scale. Even if they want to change the flow of time, they will not be as irresistible as before."
"In that case..."
Xia Yu reached behind his back and pulled out the Thunder Card, then pointed at the clock tower and said, "Then smash the clock tower to pieces. That way, we won't have to worry about the Time Card suddenly changing the time."
Sakura, Tomoyo: (*°_°)! !
Seeing that Xia Yu and others decided to blow up the clock tower in just a few words, Sakura and Tomoyo were dumbfounded.
Are you so careless? Are you planning to blow up the most important building in the area? Even though you two are foreigners, you can't do that!
Seeing that Xia Yu, Xiao Lang, and Xiao Ke didn't seem to understand the significance of the clock tower, Zhi Shi hurriedly stopped them and said, "You can't do that. This clock tower has been taking care of the townspeople. It can't be destroyed."
"That's right." Sakura nodded repeatedly: "I heard from my father that this clock tower was built when Tomoeda Town was just built. It has never been broken in all these years. We can't blow it up just to seal the Clow Cards!"
"So you're going to let that Clow Card do whatever it wants?" Syaoran walked up to Sakura with a serious face and stared at her: "You can think of it this way, the reason why this clock tower has not broken down for so many years is just waiting for this moment to be blown up!"
“But…but…”
Seeing Syaoran and Sakura arguing about the clock tower, Xia Yu was speechless. Is it because his magic has no special effects? Even if it has special effects, it is just electric welding, so it is easily ignored?
The reason why he advocated blowing up the clock tower was because he could use restoration magic to repair it.
"Restored to its original state" means that even a stone bridge that has long been broken and weathered can be perfectly restored.
"I say... have you forgotten that I also know magic?"
Seeing that Syaoran had stopped arguing with Sakura and started thinking of ways other than blowing up the clock tower, Xia Yu couldn't bear it anymore.
"Huh?"
After hearing Xia Yu's words, the others who were still thinking about countermeasures couldn't help but look over.
Before Syaoran and Sakura could figure out what Xia Yu meant by this, Tomoyo was the first to react. She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"So that's how it is, Sakura. We all forgot one thing. Natsu-san can repair broken things."
"repair?"
Sakura murmured, and suddenly she realized, "Oh, that's right, I almost forgot that Xia-san could repair it. No wonder Xia-san was planning to blow up the clock tower just now."
"What on earth are you talking about?"
Seeing that Xiaoying and others seemed to have decided to blow up the clock tower again, Li Xiaolang was confused. He felt really uncomfortable that everyone else understood it but he didn't.
"Hey, just watch."
Xia Yu didn't say it directly. He kept it a secret first, then threw the bomb card in his hand towards the clock tower with all his strength.
"It's decided to be you, Thunder Beast!"
The moment the card flew into the sky, it instantly turned into a ball of dazzling blue plasma, and then suddenly stretched out into a thunder beast.
"roar!!"
The thunder beast turned into blue electric current and flashed in the air, then landed on the wall beside it. Then it looked at Xia Yu, as if asking what it was going to do.
"Blow up the clock tower!"
Xia Yu pointed to the clock tower in a concise manner. After receiving the order, the thunder beast nodded its head and in the blink of an eye turned into electric current and shot straight into the sky.
In a few seconds, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and lightning snakes moved among them. The thick dark clouds were extremely oppressive, and the occasional flash of light blue lightning made the earth flicker.
After a few seconds, light blue lightning condensed in the dark clouds and struck down fiercely with rumbling thunder like a punishment from heaven.
Boom——!
The terrifying thunder, carrying a destructive aura, hit the towering clock tower at such a speed that even the clock card had no time to react, and the entire clock tower was already charred and shattered into pieces.
The dial representing the time also broke into more than a dozen pieces with a loud bang. After the dazzling lightning disappeared, not to mention the clock tower, even the nearby teaching building was affected.
“…”
Sakura and the others hid under a tree, silently watching this scene before them, which was almost the biggest since the sealing of the Clow Cards. They were all shocked and speechless.
No matter how dangerous the previous Clow Cards were, they were not as shocking as the scene before him.
“Wow… so amazing!”
Sakura was stunned as she looked at the clock tower which had turned into ruins. It was not until she saw the destructive power clearly before her eyes that she realized how dangerous the Clow Cards were.
"Sakura, go and seal the Time Card now."
Among the group, Kero was the first to react. After hearing Kero's reminder, Sakura came back to her senses from the shock while saying "oh" and used the jump card to jump into the ruins.
But before Sakura could go looking for him, an old brown man in a hooded cloak suddenly flew out from the ruins of the clock tower.
The old man's face bore deep marks of time, his ears were elf ears, he had a long beard hanging down on his chest, and there was a strange special symbol on his forehead.
The moment the Time Card's true form appeared, it flew rapidly into the distance.
But before he could fly far away, a golden bolt of lightning suddenly shot towards him.
"The Thunder Emperor is coming!"
boom!!!
A golden thunder that was different from the previous light blue thunder was instantly stimulated, paralyzing the old man who was about to escape on the spot.
After the golden thunder dissipated, the old man fell heavily to the ground, and his occasional twitching body seemed to indicate that he was still alive.
Xia Yu looked in astonishment at Li Xiaolang who was holding a sword beside him. The time card had just appeared and the lightning had already been triggered. You have been waiting for this moment, right?
He thought that the attack from the Thunder Beast just now had made Shi Pai lose the ability to escape, but he didn't expect that the old man still had the strength to escape. However, he failed to escape and was instead taken advantage of by Li Xiaolang.
As if noticing Xia Yu's gaze, Li Xiaolang snorted, "Humph! Before the Clow Cards are sealed, we must never let our guard down."
Xia Yu: “…”
On the other side, Sakura was stunned as she looked at the Time Card that fell from the sky after being struck by lightning.
I always feel like she has nothing to do here...
"Sakura, go and seal it now."
Xiao Ke was always fulfilling his duty of reminding. Hearing Xiao Ke's voice, Xiao Ying no longer hesitated and came to the old man in a few jumps.
"Return to your original form, Clow Card!"
bite--!
A soft chime sounded, and an illusory card appeared.
The brown-yellow old man lying on the ground twitching turned into streams of light and was swept away by the magic power and sank into the illusory card.
After a few seconds, the cards solidified.
Looking at the cards floating in the air, Sakura did not reach out to take them. She did not contribute at all in this battle, so the Clow Cards would definitely not choose her.
As expected, although it was the Clow Card that Sakura sealed, the Clow Card did not choose her, but floated directly to the location of Xia Yu and Syaoran.
After coming in front of the two people, the time card floated around them twice, as if deciding who to choose.
Xia Yu and Li Xiaolang did not reach out either. After all, this was the Clow Card's own choice, and they could not change the Clow Card's mind even if they reached out.
After a few seconds, the time card that had circled around the two of them several times finally floated in front of Li Xiaolang.
Although Xia Yu destroyed the bell tower that it possessed, it was Li Syaoran's final blow that subdued it, so the Time Card still chose Li Syaoran.
"Tsk, congratulations."
Xia Yu looked at the time card in Li Xiaolang's hand with displeasure. This old man had no vision and deserved to be electrocuted.
Although Xia Yu's tone was not very good, he was congratulating him after all, so Li Xiaolang did not look stern, but nodded in response.
"Thanks."
"Student Xia, please restore the clock tower as soon as possible, otherwise it will be bad if someone finds out." Just then, Sakura ran over and said hurriedly.
Hearing this, Xia Yu rolled his eyes. Normally, when sealing the Clow Cards made such a big fuss, I never saw you get worried, but now you are afraid of being discovered by others.
After waving his hand to recall the thunder card, Xia Yu took out his magic wand and pointed at the ruins on the ground.
"Restored to its original state!"
With a flash of the magic wand, the ruins on the ground began to spin in an instant, then quickly pieced together, and the clock tower returned to its original appearance.
Seeing such a magical scene, Li Xiaolang looked at Xia Yu in surprise. Why did he feel that the other party was more like a magician than them?
This kind of magic that can completely repair damaged objects is the first time he has seen it, and he didn't even feel any magic power. How did the other party use it?
