Chapter 254 Xiao Ke: Wang Changsheng, when will you die?
"The box won't open?"
Sakura looked at the small box Tomoyo was carrying out and couldn't help but ask, "Is the key still there?"
"Yes, it is." Tomoyo nodded slightly, then took out a key. "But I can't open it with the key. When I try to insert the key into the lock, it's like some inexplicable force bounces it away."
"Judging from this, it does indeed resemble the power of some Clow Cards." Kero flapped its wings and nodded, then flew to the side of the box and stood there. After carefully sensing it, it confirmed, "It's definitely the aura of a Clow Card."
At this point, Tomoyo began to demonstrate to the others.
She aimed the key in her hand at the lock of the box and then tried to insert it directly.
However, the next moment, the key seemed to have struck some kind of barrier, and it flew out with a whoosh.
"That's the situation." Tomoyo said as she walked to the key, bent down to pick it up, then turned to look at the group, sighed slightly, and said, "This box was a gift from my mother. A while ago, I tried to put something of mine in it, but I found that no matter what I did, I couldn't open it."
"Are the things inside very precious?" Sakura asked.
Tomoyo nodded firmly. "The things locked inside this box are very precious to both me and my mother. If they were to disappear, my mother and I would be very sad."
After speaking, Wang Changsheng glanced at the small box: "The box is still here, so it can't be said that the contents are missing."
Tomoyo: "..."
She glanced at Wang Changsheng lightly with her dark purple eyes.
Before Zhi Shi could say anything, Xiao Ke took flight, glaring at Wang Changsheng and saying, "Why are you so stubborn, you brat?"
"It's not that exaggerated, haha~" Wang Changsheng scratched his head, "You don't need to praise me like that."
Xiao Ke: Nobody is praising you at all!

"Since this is something so precious to Tomoyo and Auntie, I will definitely do my best to help you solve this Clow Card!"
Sakura raised her little fist, looking quite spirited.
"Really? Thank you so much, Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and then she bent down. "In that case..."
Tomoyo pulled a video camera from under the coffee table: "I'm ready!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Tomoyo had already adjusted the camera and pointed the lens at Sakura.
"(???.???)????" Sakura looked at Tomoyo with a puzzled expression, and slowly lowered her raised fist.
At this moment, Kero was circling the small box incessantly: "Which Clow Card can create a barrier?"
It sat cross-legged in the void, one hand clasped to its chest and the other supporting its large head, lost in deep thought.
There are quite a few cards that can pop open the key, but it's still a bit difficult to determine which one it is.
"Judging from the way this card looks, it seems to be guarding this box."
This prompted Wang Changsheng's voice to ring out, and then he flipped his hand, and a cluster of flames ignited at his fingertips.
"What are you doing, Xiao Wang?" Sakura's eyes widened as she watched Wang Changsheng point his finger towards the box. "Careful! This little box was a gift from Tomoyo's mother!"
She knew how powerful Wang Changsheng's magic was. Although it was just a small flame, how could an ordinary wooden box withstand the erosion of the flame?
However, Wang Changsheng remained calm, simply pressing the small flame onto the box.
Sakura exclaimed in surprise, but the box was not burned to ashes as she had imagined. Instead, a spherical transparent film suddenly appeared on the small box.
The thin film transformed into a barrier, carrying an extremely firm will, keeping the flame at Wang Changsheng's fingertip outside, preventing it from touching the box and causing the slightest damage to the small box.
"This is..." Upon seeing this, Xiao Ke's eyes widened immediately. "It's a shield!"
"A shield?" Sakura looked at it upon hearing Kero's call. "What kind of card is this?"
Tomoyo also pointed the camera at Koko.
"The shield is..." Xiao Ke was about to open her mouth when Wang Changsheng interrupted her.
He put away the flame at his fingertips, then turned to look at Sakura and the others.
"Obviously, a shield is a card that can be transformed into a shield."
Xiao Ke: (?ò?ó)
Sakura: ●_●.
Tomoyo: ?????
Message: From...
"You brat, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak!" Xiao Ke yelled.
"What do you mean I can't speak? Is my explanation imperfect? Isn't this the truth?" Wang Changsheng protested.
"I can't be bothered with you!" Xiao Ke snorted, finding it unbearable to look at.
It turned its head and continued to Sakura and Tomoyo: "The shield is a card that Clow created to protect important items. Therefore, even without a master's control, the shield should still inherit this characteristic of protecting important items."
Upon hearing Kero's explanation, Tomoyo quickly realized, "So this Clow Card thought that this box was a very important item to me and my mother, which is why it appeared in our house?"
However, Tomoyo was a little confused: "Then why won't it let me open the box? The things inside belong to me and my mom."
Xiao Ke pondered for a moment, then explained, "I guess the shield is worried that you'll damage what's inside."
"Huh?" Tomoyo was taken aback.
"How do you explain this?" Sakura was also stunned.
"Well~" Xiao Ke scratched his head and laughed, "Because what's inside is very important to you. The shield can only sense that, so no one is allowed to open it without someone controlling it."
"So, if we want to open this box, we have to subdue the shield first?" Sakura asked.
"That's right." Xiao Ke nodded.
"If that's the case, how are we supposed to get it off the box?" Sakura looked at Wang Changsheng.
Seeing that Sakura had passed the question on to someone else, Kero complained, "Why are you asking this guy? Shouldn't you keep asking me?!"
"Isn't that obvious? Xiaoying thinks my brain is sharper than yours." Wang Changsheng rolled his eyes at Xiao Ke.

Hearing their conversation, Sakura quickly waved her hand, "No, no, I didn't say you're stupid, Xiao Ke. I just think Xiao Wang should be able to come up with a solution."
Doesn't that just mean I'm dumber than that brat Wang Changsheng?!
Xiao Ke was so angry she almost couldn't catch her breath, and then glared fiercely at Wang Changsheng.
This left Wang Changsheng completely baffled.
It wasn't him who said it, so why are you glaring at him?
Wang Changsheng ignored Xiao Ke's dramatic act and instead offered Xiao Ying a suggestion: "Use their own spear to attack your own shield."
Sakura: "???) Xiao Wang, what do you mean by this?"
Wang Changsheng suddenly blurted out an idiom, which Xiaoying, who wasn't even very good at Mandarin, couldn't understand at all.
Xiao Ke was also a little confused, but from the words "spear" and "shield," it could roughly guess what kind of plan that brat Wang Changsheng had come up with.
"I know!" it quickly wanted to express its opinion.
However, Tomoyo abruptly interrupted her: "Isn't Changsheng referring to the sword token you captured before, Sakura-chan?"
Xiao Ke: "..."
"A sword token?" Sakura blinked.
"That's right." Tomoyo nodded gently. "Didn't Kero say before that the sword shield is the sharpest weapon in the world? If that's the case, it should be able to break through the shield created by this shield, right?"
Xiao Ke: (σ`?д?)σ Why are you all stealing my words?!
Since it was Tomoyo who spoke, Kero couldn't really retaliate. It simply seized the opportunity when no one was talking to quickly interject, "The sword card is the sharpest embodiment of the world's laws; it can cut through anything. Sakura, use this card to cleave the shield on the box. It will temporarily revert to its original form, and then you can seal it away!"
Xiao Ke spoke very quickly, afraid that Wang Changsheng and Zhi Shi would interrupt her again.
"Okay, I understand!" Sakura nodded immediately and summoned her magic wand.
Then, she pulled out a Clow Card from her bosom, held it between two fingers, held it up in front of her eyes, threw it forward, and began to spin her magic wand continuously.
"The Clow Cards, embodied in the laws of nature!"
"Please lend me the key to power—"
"Show your unparalleled sharpness!"
Streaks of pink light flowed from the tip of the bird's beak.
Sakura spun her magic wand around, and a golden magic circle appeared beneath her feet, followed by a terrifying outpouring of magic.
Suddenly, Sakura gripped her magic wand tightly, and the Clow Cards in front of her abruptly turned to face her.
"Sword!"
Sakura slams her wand down.
"bite--"
A crisp sound rang out in the void. It was almost noon, and the bright sunlight streamed into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the room already quite bright. However, the moment Sakura finished speaking, an even more dazzling burst of light erupted.
The magic within the sword card swept towards the magic wand in Sakura's hand.
The sharp rays of light transformed the pink magic wand into a cold, gleaming sword.
Judging from its appearance alone, this sword is like a fine work of art, and its proportions look absolutely perfect.
However, the sword blade reveals a cold luster under the light, shining with an unimaginable icy brilliance.
It's obvious to anyone with eyes that this is no ordinary sword.
It is said to be a holy sword capable of cutting through anything in the world.
This was Sakura's first serious use of the sword in battle.
Although the opponent is a stationary turtle shell, letting Sakura use it to experience the power of the sword is still a good choice.
It is a very suitable sandbag.
"We should cut it from this angle!"
As soon as Sakura held the divine sword in her hand, a feeling rose within her.
She seemed to have gained a considerable understanding of various sword techniques all at once.
This is also one of the abilities of the sword card.
It can make a swordsman a master swordsman.
She even has an intuitive understanding of the best angles to break through the enemy's defenses with less effort.
After observing the small box for just a moment, he understood how he should approach the situation.
"Swish"
Sakura swung her sword, and a white sword shadow flashed past.
Instantly, an unparalleled sword aura erupted, the chilling sword energy carrying a cold intent, slashing across the sky!

The barrier, which could originally block even Wang Changsheng's magic, was now like a thin layer of glass.
After a brief moment of silence, it was unable to continue resisting the sharp sword energy.
It shattered instantly.
The transparent film that originally protected the small box turned into pieces, detached from the box, and eventually solidified in the void.
They transformed into something else entirely, revealing the true form of the shield.
It has to be said, it's really something that the cards created by Kuro are all so pink and cute.
The shield only had one large white wing, not a pair.
The shield also has a pink bead embedded in it, making it look even more girlish.
Wang Changsheng couldn't help but sigh. Besides the fact that Clow Reed knew Sakura would use these cards after he became omniscient, which is why he made them so pink, could it also be that Clow Reed himself simply liked using pink things...?
Sakura raised her magic wand and aimed it at the large shield floating in mid-air.
"Restore you to your original state—"
"Clow Cards!"
"bite--"
As Sakura finished speaking, a clear sound rang out in the void, followed by the appearance of a dazzling card, seemingly appearing from some unknown place.
The shield in front of Sakura was completely disintegrated, turning into countless streams of light, which were eventually swallowed up by the card.
With the shield's magic, the card also gained physical form, becoming a somewhat old-looking playing card.
The playing cards floated down from the sky and landed in Sakura's hand.
"Yay!"
Sakura captured the Clow Cards, but it was Kero who was the happiest.
It flapped its wings and flew around Sakura a few times, its two short, yellow legs kicking back and forth.
"Magic! I've finally regained a little bit of magic!"
"Really?" Sakura exclaimed in delight. "That's wonderful!"
Xiao Ke was happy for a while, then pouted: "But the shield doesn't restore much of my maximum magic power. I still need to find the fire shield, otherwise I won't be able to return to my true form."
"Why would you revert to your true form? You're perfectly fine as you are now." Wang Changsheng first congratulated Sakura, then looked at Keroberos and smiled slightly, "Anyway, even if you transform, you're just a larger version of Keroberos, which isn't very useful. You might as well be a mascot to cheer me and Sakura on."
Xiao Ke: ?_??
