Free Web NovelChapter 1064: Chapter 396 [Breakthrough Card]
The iridescent light, Ree Shil had seen it many times before. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
And he had long since grown accustomed to the oppressive aura.
But this time, it was as if time had reversed.
Reversed to that day when he first witnessed an S-rank card across the card table during a duel with Carson Shaw.
No, the pressure he felt now was many times more intense than the last!
Ree Shil, who had often been using S-rank cards to overpower others recently, relived the sensation of being dominated after a long absence.
But the problem was, the other party had only revealed one S-rank card.
Why then did he feel this way?
Could his own three S-rank cards not offset it?
Combining that with what the other party had said just now, could it be...
A bad premonition began to take shape in the heart of Ree Shil.
[Clang!!!]
There was the sound of a metallic ring without a source, followed by the resonant voice of the Breakthrough Envoy: "The Path is intangible!"
The card in his hand flipped over.
This card had no projection, only a card face.
But even just the card face was frightening enough for Ree Shil.
[Breakthrough Card]
Breaking force, 0 Points, S
Attack 110, 100/100, 0/∞
[Void-Passive]: Breakthrough Card is immune to all damage/negative effects
[Precept-Passive]: Breakthrough Card can only be placed in King Card Row but cannot become a King Card
[Lend-Grant-Passive]: Breakthrough Card automatically exits after 3 Rounds
[Fame of Breaking Force-Passive]: For every Breakthrough Reveal Card present on the field, Breakthrough Card’s Attack Power +5
[Truth of Breaking Force-Passive]: Breakthrough Card attacks a target and carries the [Full Penetration] Effect
([Full Penetration]: When attacking a target, it deals equal damage to all targets behind it)
Although Ree Shil still found it hard to believe, this card... seemed to be the Destiny Card of the Lord God!
From the [Lend-Grant] entry, it appeared to be incomplete.
There was also the limitless energy slot and the lack of Active Skills.
So strictly speaking, it could only be considered a pseudo S-rank card.
But the problem was, this card was still outrageous!
Points, 110 Attack Power.
It was almost equivalent to three [Beginning Stick] cards.
The entries [Fame of Breaking Force] and [Truth of Breaking Force] were quite similar to Carson Shaw’s Destiny Card [Horn Card].
Without question, the [Breakthrough Card] was not imitating the [Horn Card].
It was apparent that the [Horn Card] was imitating the [Breakthrough Card].
Perhaps on some level, the paths of the two Divine Deities were quite similar.
The Path of Ox Horn had derived from the Way of Breakthrough.
Yet even an incomplete [Breakthrough Card] was far more powerful than the [Horn Card] in this context.
Every single one of the 22 cards on the full table was a damn Breakthrough Card!
This was cheating!
And the key was, there were three cards in front of the [Breakthrough Card], which meant conventional methods to deal with Divine Cards using [Exile] were utterly useless.
Currently, the only solution Ree Shil could think of was—[Defense].
An attack of 110 hitting the frontline Defense card did 55 points of damage.
The 55 points of damage transferred to the next line of Defense card resulted in 27.5 points of damage.
The 27.5 points of damage transferred to the end line of Defense card became 13.75.
In terms of position and damage, it was acceptable for Ree Shil if the last row card didn’t [Defense].
27.5 points of damage was not much of a threat for an end row card.
But the problem was, he didn’t know which column the opponent would attack.
Could it be that he had to [Defense] on the first and last rows of all three columns?
To continue for 3 Rounds until the [Breakthrough Card] exited was simply unbearable; how was one supposed to play like this?
Not to mention that the opponent had a complete set of Breakthrough Cards to utilize freely for 3 Rounds; it would be a direct defeat.
As expected in the following card game, the Breakthrough Envoy, with just these three tactics, left him without any means to fight back.
Instance attempts were being consumed one after another.
After half a day, he left the Instance with a sense of helplessness.
"That card was just too ridiculous..."
Massaging his temples, Ree Shil felt incredibly fatigued.
This journey through the Way of Breakthrough had cost him over 40 days, equivalent to about 10 days in reality. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"He said his card deck wouldn’t change and welcomed me to challenge him anytime.
Indeed, that was the case.
But, I just can’t think of a way to break through."
He felt that plunging directly into The Seventh Major Level for each Way of Breakthrough attempt was a trap.
Better to start from the Zero Checkpoint, accumulating enough attempts before making the surge.
The only method he could think of at the moment to solve this:
Was to stack attempts like fighting a Boss.
To engage in countless card games with the Breakthrough Envoy, relying on the chance that, in one of the attempts, he could guess which column the opponent would Fully Penetrate.
Only then, would his side have a bit of resistance.
But it was hard to say; he might have cleared six levels this time, but there’s no guarantee for the next.
"Phew, I’ll think about it later, at least I’ve improved quite a bit from the last time."
Taking a deep breath, Ree Shil began to plan for what was next.
The cycle of the City Competition was long, which was why it was held every 3 or 4 years.
Now, with about 3 months to the official start of The Major District competition, or rather, the first match for the Balance District,
he had three main goals for the next 3 months.
The first, needless to say, was to make a breakthrough in the Way of Breakthrough as soon as possible.
Only by overcoming the Way of Breakthrough could he attempt the [False Saint] mission.
The second was the Guardian Dragon’s S-rank task.
Possessed for 1333 days, currently utilizing the Card Blue Star’s bug.
