Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 1051: Chapter 389: Administrator at Work, Others Stand Back_2

For a moment, many people forgot their work at hand and couldn’t help but look up at the sky above.

Under the moonlight, there was a beautiful figure holding a treasure sword, dancing gracefully.

Because of the backlighting, the figure looked like a beautiful silhouette.

The newcomer was Ree Shil’s A-level follower, the Sword Dance Girl.

[Spring Breeze]: Heals allied units in range by a set amount every second.

[Dancing Sword]: Increases the damage dealt by allied units within range.

With these two skills, she had become a very powerful auxiliary machine under the follower mechanism.

"What are you all spacing out for! Focus on the battle!"

The commander, who was the first to snap back to reality, loudly reprimanded his subordinates.

It was precisely because of this momentary distraction that many guards had their phantoms blown apart.

"We’re done for."

Seeing this, the commander knew his team no longer had any chance of defeating the Boss.

All this was caused by just one [Resistance], truly the heavens were not on their side.

(Such a berserk Boss, if not led by the Head Captain, would probably be hard to conquer!)

He was already thinking of calling for help.

But then he thought, would the Head Captain even have time to respond right now?

The other party must be striving to deal with the source of this monster attack, right?

[Hmm hmm~]

Just then, he caught a glimpse of the moonlit figure stepping on air, quickly gliding toward him.

To be more precise, the Sword Dance Girl was heading straight for the Boss.

If Ree Shil could send her out on her own, then she couldn’t possibly only possess auxiliary abilities.

[Dancing Sword]: Fires a powerful penetrating sword energy related to the agility attribute of the self.

She stood in mid-air, aimed in a direction, and with a gentle flick of her treasure sword—

Clang!

Along with the sound of the sword chime, a crescent-shaped giant sword energy formed and sliced through the air.

The sword energy slid along the body of the Boss and continually erupted with large amounts of damage.

-405, -397, -412, -386...

The sword energy traveled swiftly, and the frequency of the popping damage numbers was just as quick.

The commander had the best vantage point and could observe the whole situation from his higher ground.

To him, the scene before his eyes was simply shocking!

[Gah... Gah...!]

The intense pain and the rapid loss of Health Points caused the entire body of the Boss to tremble.

Even the berserk red on its body was fading rapidly.

Berserk State disappearing when Health Points drop below a certain percentage was also part of its mechanism.

"That’s insane..."

The commander knew that the massiveness of the Boss was a factor—its straight and elongated body meant it suffered multi-hit damage from the sword energy.

But still, the output of this one sword was too exaggerated.

With just one strike, it was comparable to the total DPS of his entire team after fighting hard for 5 minutes.

And from the Boss’s reaction, it was clear it was on its last legs.

[Hmm hmm~]

And at that moment, the second wave of sword energy was unleashed.

Clang!

Another wave of massive damage erupted.

And then, the Boss was gone!

"What?" xN

There wasn’t much time between the two strikes of sword energy; in fact, the vast majority of those present hadn’t even had time to react.

Only the commander managed to keep his wits about him.

The Boss was large, so the amount of Blue Light it transformed into was also significant.

With the brightness of this light, the features of the Sword Dance Girl were finally illuminated clearly.

His first reaction was rapture.

From her silhouette, he knew that this female warrior had a perfect and graceful figure, and now that he saw her face clearly, she was incomparably beautiful.

His second reaction was to see the code name.

"Ah? [Henry Thompson’s Summoned]?"

No, that can’t be right!

The commander thought it was absolutely impossible for her to be a summoned follower.

The reason was simple—because she was too strong.

The strength of a follower’s attributes are determined by the controller’s attributes.

The higher the grade of the card, the higher the conversion rate between them.

But he had heard that even for a B-level card, the summoned follower’s conversion rate doesn’t reach 100%.

The rough proportions were like this: E-Rank 10%, D-Rank 20%, C-Rank 50%, B-Rank 80%.

If this young lady were truly a summoned follower, then just how strong would her controller’s attributes have to be?

And who is Henry Thompson?

He said he had never heard of any strong guard with that code name.

Therefore, the commander thought it must be a joke from the other party, deliberately naming the code [Henry Thompson’s Summoned] to attract attention.

[Hmm-hmm~ Excuse me~]

As everyone pondered or appeared confused, the Sword Dance Girl had already left behind a sentence and once again slipped into the night sky.

...

Almost at the same time.

South of Magic City.

An ordinary man dressed in ancient clothing stood atop a tall electric lamp pole.

Beneath him, streaks of light moving so fast that they left only afterimages ravaged through the monster horde.

Wherever they went, they stirred up a torrent of damage numbers falling, and one by one, the monsters turned into flying blue light.

The Guards fighting the monsters watched on, completely dumbfounded.

North of Magic City.

Between the dense skyscrapers, a bolt of lightning struck right at the Boss.

The electric brilliance spread out from the Boss like a spider web, attacking every monster present in the area.

Any guard who accidentally came in contact with a monster also got shocked to the point of numb scalps.

...

A vast amount of experience points flowed back to Ree Shil, causing rings of level-up light to flash on his body from time to time.

However, at this time, his attention wasn’t on that.

Because he had followed this light source and discovered that it wasn’t some strategically important locale guaranteed to be under energy attack.

This place was nothing more than a desolate park that seemed ready to be abandoned.

In a spacious area of the park, a semi-circular blue light group arched up.

A card game, this was the barrier of a card game.

Each Instance or rather, each world is different, some card games will pause time and space, while others will not.

For those that do pause time and space, to outsiders, the outcome of the card table is over in an instant; they wouldn’t know what happened at all.

For those that do not pause time, a barrier like this one is displayed during the card game.

A Phantom Monster attack is taking place, but here, a card game is also underway.

Ree Shil wouldn’t believe there wasn’t some connection involved.

Therefore, he directly landed and stood next to the barrier.

The barrier was completely opaque, so he couldn’t see clearly what was happening inside.

Nor did he know how the progress of the card game was going.

All he could do was wait.

However, the card game must have been in its later stages, because after a few minutes, it began to quiver and then collapsed.

With the barrier gone, two people stood opposite each other.

One of the men was thin and pale.

The other, a young lady, had a smile on her face, the very image of victor.

Most crucially, Ree Shil saw the information above their heads was utterly different.

Above the man’s head was a code: [Expert Pianist]

Above the woman’s head was just a number: Level 25.

Without a doubt, this was not a Blue Star native, but a card player.

"Wah-pa!"

At this moment, the thin man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blue light blood, his complexion seeming to become even paler against the moonlight.

It was almost impossible to see any color in his face; he looked indeed like a dead man.

Sure enough, he then fell backwards onto the ground with his eyes rolling back.

Only his still heaving chest proved that life lingered on.

Even until the moment he fainted, the man had persistently glared at the other party with hostility.

"Head Captain!"

At this moment, several guards suddenly rushed out from the shadows.

"Hehe, Head Captain?

Is this the strongest combat power you have here?

Then you’re really overestimating yourselves," the woman said with a light laugh, looking at the guards.

"You!"

Upon hearing her words, a mix of sorrow and anger was written all over the guards’ faces.

After all, the strength of a guard largely depends on the foundations of the card player.

Thus, the Head Captain was not only the strongest guard of this district but also the strongest card player.

And if even the Head Captain couldn’t handle this strange individual, they certainly wouldn’t stand a chance. freёweɓnovel.com

"Sigh..."

However, at that moment, Ree Shil’s sigh drew the attention of both sides.

Just as he leveled up, a ring of light flashed over him, allowing everyone to notice his presence.

There’s a small detail here, that is, once datafied into a guard, the level above a card player’s head will be obscured.

"Who are you supposed to be?"

So the woman did not see the card player level above his head, hence she couldn’t discern his true identity.

"Administrator at work, unrelated individuals should stand back," he said.

So everyone heard him say that.
