My Hero Academia: Restless Gambler

Chapter 28: Death Gamble

The moment I cut off my arm the momentum from Nomu's swing flung me like a baseball toward the shipwreck rescue area with a giant artificial lake, but as I was getting flung I made yet another bet.

In the hand of my now, only arm was a translucent gold card. Gripping I crushed the card in my hand as it broke into thousands of little shards of light.

[You have used the character card: Destiny's Child]

The ability to see a future or an opportunity. I was betting on it giving me the opportunity I needed—an opportunity I could take to kill the Nomu.

Visions of the future flashed through my eyes and I saw an "opportunity".

'I didn't know synergies existed!'

This was doable.

My body hit the water roughly after the vision ended, I felt vertigo overtake my body as it sunk but I did not close my eyes, instead, I opened my ability list.

Then, I took it out.

My first roll, the first chip put on the table.

____________________________

[ Epic - Deep Sea Knight's Anchor]

|Rarity: Epic|

An anchor imbued with the blessing of the hidden princess wielded by the knight of the deep seas. The weapon is unwieldy and immensely powerful. Wielding it doubles the strength of the user and boosts the power of all water abilities.

____________________________

A giant anchor appeared in front of me, nearly double my height, with a brutal appearance. It looked like it was almost sharpened, with barbed dull corners and the occasional rusty nails sticking out of the handle. I could already tell it was considerably heavier than the average car. The strength you would need to lift it with one hand would be around the same effort needed to lift a semi-truck.
