Chapter 1088: Chapter 411: The Little Cunning Ghost
The "Thorn Ant" now only needed 1 Round to mature instead of 2 rounds.
Which meant that next round, it could be fully formed.
Just imagine if all the larvae behind it were like this; it would indeed be quite troublesome.
Originally, needing time to grow was a restriction on their powerful card faces.
Now, with the boost from the Scene Card, this limitation was greatly weakened.
This round, neither side’s card face improved much.
A slight advantage was on Ree Shil’s side. freёwebnoѵel.com
With the addition of "Three-eyed Spy," his DPS reached 20+20+30=70 points.
Striking the "Defense" "Shell Ant," it could deal 35 points of damage.
Then each would rebound 10 points of damage, inflicting 30 points of damage.
Ree Shil also gained 10 points[Healing], effectively dealing 25 points of damage.
This exchange still left him with a 5-point deficit.
Fortunately, the "Shell Ant" naturally had only 70+20 Health, so this exchange was somewhat acceptable.
After all, "Thorn Ant"’s presence forced Ree Shil to speed up his attack rhythm.
A new round arrived, and it was the Unveiling Stage.
Leo Berry revealed another "Thorn Ant Larva."
And the "Thorn Ant Larva" from his previous round had evolved fully into a "Thorn Ant."
Ree Shil had no choice for his Reveal Card; this round, he had to unveil "Tricky Hand Snake."
Laying the groundwork for the arrival of the Kung Fu Sheep God.
"Your card deck has lost its freshness, every move falls within my expectations.
You might as well just surrender."
Leo Berry chuckled upon seeing the Reveal Card.
"Is that so?"
Ree Shil didn’t say much, and casually attached the flexible term from the Scene Card as well.
[Fair Duel-Flexible]: Causes both sides’ Scene Cards to become ineffective.
Originally, his flexible term was empty since other terms weren’t suitable for his card deck.
However, surprisingly, Ree Shil found the term quite useful at this moment.
He could forego additional healing, but couldn’t allow the opponent’s larvae to mature quickly.
"Hmph."
Sure enough, when the term was activated, Leo Berry immediately scoffed.
It couldn’t be helped; the greatest weakness of his ant deck was the Warming Up time.
But what of it.
The Action Phase arrived, and the "Thorn Ant" sprayed directly at the "Tricky Hand Snake."
Because by taking it down, the forthcoming "Thorn Ants" could attack the Kung Fu Sheep God.
But Ree Shil, heedless of concern, straightaway chose for "Tricky Hand Snake" to Focus Fire on that not-full-blood "Shell Ant."
With its addition next round, it could be killed.
A new round arrived, and the unveiling was predictable for both sides.
Ree Shil unveiled the "Kung Fu Sheep God," while Leo Berry unveiled a "Thorn Ant Larva."
Leo Berry didn’t lack other cards, but his deck required a multitude of the same type of cards to be powerful.
Moreover, since the Regional Competition had only just begun, losing this match wasn’t a big deal; most important was to retain the best cards to deal with old friends.
The Action Phase approached.
This time, Ree Shil chose to have "Tricky Hand Snake" enter [Defense] and take the attack from the "Thorn Ant."
Latterly, the other 3 cards finished off the wounded "Shell Ant."
However, unexpectedly, he ordered the "Kung Fu Sheep God" to attack the "False Saint."
Because of[Spiked Shell-Passive]: Shell Ant’s Attack Power -20, after sustaining Damage, it deals 10 points of [Fixed Damage] to the source.
If the Sheep God attacked such a card, it would sustain 10xN [Fixed Damage] based on the number of hits.
If it made a Quadruple Hit, instantly 40 health would be lost.
"Tricky Hand Snake" could attack, since its Health wasn’t as valuable compared to the Sheep God.
A new round arrived, and all of Leo Berry’s Next Line cards were unveiled.
So this time he had to unveil an End Row Card.
Yet, the End Row Card was still a "Thorn Ant Larva."
"This is really tough."
Ree Shil had already sensed the other party’s intention.
This seemed to be aiming for a high mix of Thorn Ants.
Once the card deck was properly formed, they could almost instantaneously pick off targets with their range advantage.
Looking back at his own side, things were a bit awkward.
Now in the 5th round, the Sheep God could only activate a single segment of movement from its attack.
The problem was that all the surrounding cards were filled, with nowhere to move.
And the card he unveiled this round was the "Ghost Face Sword."
Since the opponent’s "Thorn Ants" were all Breakthrough Cards, it was better to have this Warming Up counter card online sooner rather than later.
The Action Phase arrived, and this time the Sheep God didn’t have to attack its own side.
Now with 1 Energy Point, it could at least perform a Double Hit on the exposed "Thorn Ant," dealing 10+10 points of damage.
Yes, Leo Berry also played it safe.
Being an Outer Card, it simply [Defended] well to absorb the Knock.
The newly groomed "Thorn Ant" continued its attack on "Tricky Hand Snake."
As for the rest of Ree Shil’s cards, they all shifted their attack to another "Shell Ant," bringing it down to half health.
By dealing with all the "Shell Ant" Outer Cards, the Sheep God could come into its own.
The Card Game continued for both parties.
But as the new round of reveals came, what the outside audience didn’t expect was this.
The "Ugly Man," previously only seen as a damage-absorbing invisible man in earlier rounds, became the focal point.
Its "Taunt" not only broke the defense but also fully utilized the "Sweeping Monk" in front of it.
Allowing the "Sweeping Monk" to absorb damage while still being able to launch effective Counterattacks, ensuring it wasn’t completely without DPS.
So just in this one round, both "Shell Ants" were taken away.
Suddenly, the field swung towards Ree Shil’s side.
But as the 7th round arrived, with it the Turn where both sides’ Regular Cards were all revealed, a new situation emerged.
