Free Web NovelChapter 1029: Chapter 378: An A Level Card Comparable to an S-rank Card (Part 2)
Big Bear: "Wow, these two Linked Cards, what a great reveal!"
Huo Huo Not Crooked: "With that, Henry Thompson’s total Attack Power on the card face has reached... 180 points."
Ruan Mei Not Crooked: "As long as we suppress the Health line this round, we should be able to behead Next turn."
Clara Hurry: "It’s hard to say, there is a significant element of gambling this round."
Little Pigeon: "Exactly, it mainly depends on how Ree Shil operates, he has too many choices."
Just as everyone analyzed, Ree Shil now faced multiple choice questions.
First of all, regardless of whether [Sheep Primordial God] uses [Dizziness] this round, [Aether Behemoth]’s [Defense] would become meaningless.
Because [Female Thief] + [Male Thief]’s [Flaws] also belonged to Control, which could lead to the [Defense] becoming invalid.
But the key point was whether [Aether Behemoth] still needed to get the [Coating].
[Coating] could prevent [Female Thief] + [Male Thief]’s [Armor Break]; without it, [Aether Behemoth] might be at risk of being beheaded.
(Blind Swordsman) + 35 (Zombie Monster Knight) + 35 (Female Thief) + 35 (Male Thief) + 35 (Three-eyed Spy), these 5 cards could deal a total of 175 Health Points of damage.
Add to that if Sheep God made a quadruple strike, that would be 15x4=60 points of damage.
The total damage would be 235 points, of which 10 points would be negated by [Shield].
After [Behemoth Follower] performs [First Aid], [Aether Behemoth]’s Health would be exactly 235 points.
That is to say, after [Aether Behemoth] absorbed all the damage, it would still have 10 Health Points left.
This would trigger the Scene Card, directly restoring Health to full.
The above was the first and most ideal status.
But Ree Shil believed that the other party would definitely be Calculating cards, and probably would not deal such an amount of damage.
Instead, they would deal only about 100 points of damage in the case of 235+(10). ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Therefore, allowing [Aether Behemoth] to finish the round with about 135 points of remaining Health.
In this case, Next turn they could bypass the Scene Card’s revival effect and behead directly.
If it was this second scenario, how should he respond?
He should have [Behemoth Follower] forego Healing, and his own cards should also Attack [Aether Behemoth], bringing its Health down to below 50 points and directly triggering the revival.
However, if the other party anticipated this intention by chance and focused Fire in this round to take out [Aether Behemoth], then he would truly become the joker.
Considering the two scenarios above, Ree Shil had another choice.
That was to Release another Skill, [Aether Resonance].
In this case, all cards attacking [Aether Behemoth] would receive 1 [Quantum Entanglement].
Assuming the opposite side attacked him entirely, except for [Zombie Monster Knight] who had 1 Energy Point, the remaining cards would lose 10 Health Points each.
Not including [Sheep Primordial God], that would be 40 DPS.
If [Sheep Primordial God] made a quadruple strike, it would also lose 40 Health Points.
In such a scenario, even if it was broken by [Dizziness] or [Flaws], he would still make a profit, after all, [Ghostfire Behemoth] and [Flower and Fruit Mountain Guard] could also participate in the DPS.
After comparing the three scenarios, Ree Shil thought the third seemed the most realistic.
Therefore, he took Action this round.
[Aether Behemoth] released [Aether Resonance].
[Behemoth Follower] performed Healing on [Aether Behemoth].
The remaining two cards, then, attacked [Zombie Monster Knight].
The result was...
[Zombie Monster Knight] went into [Defense], only losing a total of 25 Health Points.
[Blind Swordsman] took a stance of [Stillness].
[Female Thief], [Male Thief], and [Three-eyed Spy] attacked [Aether Behemoth], each suffering a 10 point loss in Health Points, dealing 105 points of damage to it. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
[Sheep Primordial God] made a normal Attack on [Three-eyed Spy].
Yes, that’s right, it attacked one of its own.
Actually, if the 4th round didn’t apply [Coating], Ree Shil could have let Sheep God deal a strike equipped with [Exit] by utilizing [Four God Pursuit].
If [Aether Behemoth] was taken down this way, then he would have been almost guaranteed victory.
But it was an internal competition, with no elimination.
He didn’t want to use such a drastic approach.
And if he used [Exit] every time on the 4th round, it would increase the risk of being countered by the opponent’s mechanisms.
Perhaps attacking his own man seemed somewhat deliberate, but if he frequently did it, deliberate would gradually become undeliberate.
At the End of the 4th round, the card arrangement was as follows:
[Ghost Fire] [Guard] [Follower]
[Behemoth] [Behemoth] [Behemoth]
VS
[Blind Sword] [Zombie Demon] [Zombie Demon]
[Three-eye] [Set card] [Sheep Primordial]
[Female Thief][Male Thief][Set card]
Big Bear said, "What’s this move? I don’t get it at all."
Huo Huo Not Crooked replied, "Is it a smokescreen? Or is it something needed for the skill’s release."
Ruan Mei Not Crooked added, "It’s a bit hard to judge, after all, there’s too little to go on.
There’s only one recorded game with this card."
Clara Hurry said, "I think, maybe it requires certain conditions to be met before its special effect can be released.
If the enemy doesn’t have the necessary cards to fulfill the conditions, then you could only use your own to trigger it."
Little Dove remarked, "The key is we can’t see what card this Three-eyed Spy has!"
Migrating Tomato chimed in, "That makes it really tough, there’s just no way to deduce."
Indeed, Ree Shil’s baffling moves had achieved their effect.
This card game was shaping up to be one with a slower tempo.
As the two sides entered the 5th round, most of the regular cards had been revealed, and not a single one had left the game.
Little Lashes felt his card situation was a bit tricky.
The main reason wasn’t health loss, nor the fact that his "Aether Behemoth" had little chance of surviving this round.
It was because he hadn’t been able to execute the central idea of his strategy.
That was, he hadn’t managed to use a sturdy tank in the front to achieve the desired DPS output.
Looking at the opposite side’s cards, they had only lost a total of less than 100 points of health.
Especially during his own attack round, his tempo had been completely disrupted by the other party.
So this round, he needed to reveal a strong DPS card.
No, not just one.
"I originally didn’t want to bring out these two cards.
Because they aren’t really compatible with my Behemoth deck.
But since you’ve revealed a linked card pair, I can’t not reveal mine."
Having said that, he used both hands to simultaneously reveal the cards.
Even, one of them was his King Card!
[Picking mushrooms, picking mushrooms~♫]
Where the Guard Card was placed, a girl wearing a tiny red hat and carrying a basket cheerfully bounced out.
[Awoooo!!!]
On the King Card, a hulking Werewolf appeared, wearing only a pair of shorts.
He too, had a tiny red hat on his head.
But his head was so big, it nearly burst the hat.
[Forest Red Hood]

[Moonlit Red Hood]
Breaking Force, 30 points, A

[Strong Wolf Body - Passive]: Moonlit Red Hood’s Maximum Life Value +30
[Thanks for Hospitality - Passive]: Moonlit Red Hood’s effects received from Forest Red Hood are doubled
[Night Wolf Strike - 2 Energy Points]: Moonlit Red Hood’s attack priority is raised to T2, including [True Damage]
(Note: Thanks to Designer "Poverty-stricken Bookworm007" for this card’s balance adjustments)
Big Bear exclaimed, "Wow, these two cards! They’ve finally appeared!"
Huo Huo Not Crooked commented, "Little Lashes, whipping out the decisive linked card finisher in the battle zone finals..."
Ruan Mei Not Crooked observed, "To be fair, these two cards together are really strong."
Clara Hurry pointed out, "High flexibility, tanky, and the DPS isn’t weak either."
Little Dove assessed, "In my opinion, when you combine these two cards, they are no less powerful than a single S-rank Card."
