Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 1036: Chapter 382: Double S Level VS Double S Level

Because both sides had cards that were oriented towards defense or had special functionalities, the first round didn’t spark any significant clashes.

For the God of Red Envelopes, the Golden Bellmaster was definitely something it didn’t want to deal with.

Then, Martial Monkey with its staunch [Defense], couldn’t be taken down either.

So the better choice would only be the Sweeping Monk.

However, its final decision was to go full [Defense] with the first row cards, not launching any offense.

Looking back at Ree Shil’s side, it was more or less the same, only the Golden Bell Messenger dealt some DPS, and its main purpose was self-inflicted damage.

At the end of the first round, the card faces for both sides were as follows:

[Back Steel][Set card][Set card]

[Front Steel][Big Turtle][Door Shield]

VS

[Martial Monkey][Golden Bell][Sweeping]

The second round arrived.

Ree Shil revealed the card behind the Sweeping Monk; it was [A-40].

[A-40]

Listening to the Wind, 0 Points, A

Attack 0, 100/100, 2/3

[Peace Machine-Talent]: The Attack Power of A-40 is always 0, can be placed in any card position

[Pre-Charge-Passive]: When A-40 is revealed, gain 2 Point Energy

[Repeated Loop-Passive]: When A-40 consecutively uses its skill on the same target, the energy consumed is 2

[Energy Replenishment - 3 Energy Points]: A-40 restores 3 Energy Points to one card

"An energy card, huh?"

Seeing this card, the God of Red Envelopes raised an eyebrow: "Looks like you’ve been holding back a big hand."

Latter, it revealed its own card.

[Whale~~~~!!!]

With a long and strange cry, a colorful light emerged on the Card Table.

"S-rank Card."

Ree Shil knew that what was expected had finally arrived.

The key was that this S-rank Card was quite different, a Giant Card at S level.

A Giant Card that occupied a 2x2 grid space.

As the light converged, he saw a projection of a vast ocean appear across those four slots.

An unnaturally smooth outline of a Small Island rose from the sea. freēwebnovel.com

[Spout!!!]

A massive jet of water erupted straight into the sky from the island.

"..."

He began to realize that this 4-grid S-rank Giant Card seemed to be a whale.

Moreover, it was so large that even the four slots could only contain a small part of its head.

Looking at the card face, it was indeed so.

[Giant Ship Whale]

Listening to the Wind, 80 Points, S

Attack 0, 400/400, 3/3

[Giant and Friendly-Talent]: The Giant Ship Whale occupies 2 rows and 2 grid slots, Health Points +300, Attack Power locked at 0 freёweɓnovel.com

[Infinite Growth-Passive]: The Giant Ship Whale grows by 5 Points every round

[Whale Oil Fat-Passive]: The Giant Ship Whale starts with a Full Charge and gains 30 [Shield] points each round

[Devour Passenger - 2 Energy Points]: The Giant Ship Whale selects one card from the held cards to be devoured into its Inner Body, with a maximum concurrent capacity of 4 cards, cannot re-devour the same one

[Spit Out Passenger - 2 Energy Points]: On an Empty Slot, the Giant Ship Whale Summons a card from inside it, the card’s Score must not exceed 25% of its own, exits without consuming energy and uses this skill once

(Note: Thanks to the designer [Blood Dance of the Sinking Cherry], this card has been balanced)

"This..."

After inspecting the card, Ree Shil began to analyze it.

First off, on a grand scale, this card served as a super core for a Summoning Card Group.

Its tactic was to continuously spit out cards; theoretically, as long as it’s unimpeded and there’s enough Empty Slots, it could keep spewing cards endlessly.

There were also several Special Mechanisms with this card.

Its Score would grow indefinitely.

As its own score rose, the [Giant Ship Whale] could Summon cards with higher Scores.

So this added pressure to the opponent: if the Giant Ship Whale wasn’t brought down swiftly, it could potentially summon high-scoring cards later.

Then there was the concept of "held cards" which stands above the deck.

Meaning all the cards that belong to the owner of the Giant Ship Whale.

Hence, the cards that the Giant Ship Whale could devour weren’t limited just to those in the Substitute Deck.

This S-rank Card’s Special Mechanism was formidable precisely in this regard.

Assume its score grew to 400 Points, then it could Summon a card with 100 Points.

In an ideal scenario, the cards it summons later would be higher and higher scored.

Besides, starting off with a base score of 80 on four slots wasn’t very high.

On average, that was just below 20 Points per slot.

The saved points could be allocated to other cards in the deck.

If talking about endurance battles, the [Giant Ship Whale] was frighteningly invincible.

Now, Ree Shil could be 100% certain that the opponent’s Destiny Card and King Card were also positioned behind the Giant Ship Whale.

Moreover, this card was a complete system, with two Headline District cards in front.

If those cards in the front were taken down, then it could instantly Summon new cards in their slots, to keep shielding itself.

"The only downside is that it ultimately falls under Wind listening cards.

Warming Up for 2 rounds, using the skill to devour cards takes 1 round.

Warming Up for 2 rounds, using the skill to spit out cards takes 1 round.

That means one cycle takes 6 rounds to complete.

Although it’s very sturdy and has a high perpetual [Shield], it can still easily be taken out if the chance arises."

He had already spotted the card’s weakness.

S-rank Cards came in many types.

Such as most Auxiliary Cards that are Destiny Cards, like the Kung Fu Sheep God with strong individual capabilities, or the [Giant Ship Whale] that possessed strong functionalities but required cooperation from allied cards.

So next, his objective became very clear.

To eliminate the [Giant Ship Whale] with the fastest speed and highest DPS possible.

And so, the Action Phase of the second round commenced.
