Free Web NovelChapter 1113: Chapter 423: What Big Move Are You Holding Back?
After Grace Spring revealed the card, the Balance Representative Team still had two unrevealed cards.
The next card they revealed was situated in the middle row.
[Roar!!!]
As the card was revealed, a white frost mist spurted out.
A withered white claw reached out first, scraping over the card face.
One claw became two, and with a forceful push,
a skeletal figure with a dragon’s head and a beast’s body crawled out.
It had no wings, and by its body alone, it resembled a wolf.
But the skull was unmistakably that of a dragon’s,
and it even sported two twisted horns on top.
If this figure appeared in any game, it would definitely be the penultimate or antepenultimate level’s big Boss.
Frost Dragon Bone Beast
Determination, 40 points, A
Attack 10, 100/100, 3/6
[Frost Armor - Passive]: When targeted with consecutive attacks within 2 rounds, the Frost Dragon Bone Beast will inflict the [Freezing] effect
[Buried Bone for Years - Passive]: Frost Dragon Bone Beast’s attack power is reduced by 10, and gains 3 point energy upon revealing card
[Rapid Casting - Passive]: Frost Dragon Bone Beast’s attack power is reduced by 20, control effects increased to T0 priority
[Cold Roar - 6 point energy]: Frost Dragon Bone Beast causes [Freezing] on the first line of targets
Museum Director Phoenix: [Without a doubt, the Balance Representative Team’s S-rank card will be placed after this one.]
Hunchback Woman: [This Determination Representative Team, they are unlucky.
Just now we discussed that the least desirous opponent for the [Bomb Disposal Expert] is a card with a higher score than itself.
This prevents it from targeting the other card.]
Museum Director Phoenix: [Moreover, with the [Rejuvenation Card], this [Frost Dragon Bone Beast] is truly a headache.
I estimate the Determination Representative Team will have to reveal a [Seal] next turn.]
Though [Frost Dragon Bone Beast] is an Injury Card without damage reduction, its presence creates a bind where attacking or not attacking are both problematic.
Consecutive attacks within 2 rounds will result in [Freezing].
If it’s a DPS card, it could even be frozen during the current turn.
But as a first row card, it can’t be left without attacks.
Museum Director Phoenix: [Frankly, I think this card is the true nemesis of the Sheep God.
Unfortunately, fate has made it teammates with the Sheep God.]
The third Headline District card for the Balance Representative Team was also revealed at this moment.
[Quick, quick, quick, quick!]
A disc-shaped object on the card spoke strange words and rolled out.
It circled the entire card table before returning to its original position to reveal its true form.
This was a upright walking turtle with a large head, its shell bristling with sharp spikes.
Dragon Turtle
Breaking Force, 30 points, A
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/6
[Dense Shell Spikes - Passive]: Dragon Turtle gains 1 extra energy point when attacking
[Buried Bone for Years - Passive]: When Dragon Turtle is attacked on the turn it uses a skill, it recovers 2 energy points for each attack
[Impact Form - 3 point energy]: Dragon Turtle attacks 1 target, accompanied by [Dizziness] effect
[Defense Form - 6 point energy]: Dragon Turtle gains [Invincibility] and deals 20 points [Fixed] damage to the source of attack
Hunchback Woman: [Wow, this card is quite powerful.
It robustly strengthens both defense and attack, and it can warm up really quickly in just 2 rounds.]
Museum Director Phoenix: [But the biggest problem is still the warm-up issue associated with all Breakthrough Cards.
Don’t be misled by its skills, especially the formidable effect of the 4-energy skill.
The problem is that the opponent probably won’t give you a chance to charge up.]
Hunchback Woman: [Indeed, I believe this card will inevitably become a target for the Bomb Disposal Expert.]
Ree Shil actually coveted this card quite a bit.
A Breakthrough Card that can activate [Invincibility] is exactly what he needed at the moment.
As for the survival issues due to charging up energy, that wasn’t a problem at all.
Just position it as the Next Line card, a reserve Injury Card for the Next Line would suffice.]
With both parties having finished revealing cards, the Action Phase arrived.
Even though it was one card per person, this round was relatively simple and still manageable.
Both sides only needed to follow the pre-arranged code words to confirm their actions for this round without any leaks.
This was the first match, and it seemed like everyone had agreed to play it safe, given it was the low-error-tolerance 6+1.
Apart from the [Bomb Disposal Expert], there weren’t any heavy-hitting DPS cards set up.
Thus, the Balance Representative Team, leveraging their extra healer, all took an offensive stance.
[Rejuvenation Card] remained [Still], while the other three cards focused fire on [Midnight Gong Ghost].
The one issuing this command was Small Lash, their team’s commander.
Even though Ree Shil’s authority was technically more significant, he still trusted Small Lash’s judgement on the card table.
Unless necessary, he wouldn’t easily speak up.
As it turned out, his trust was warranted.
Even if it had been him, he would’ve focused fire on [Midnight Gong Ghost] this round.
Considering their DPS was only 70 points, there wasn’t much they could do.
Attacking [Bomb Disposal Expert] would be a waste since it planned to blow itself up anyway.
[Cracked Mouth Cunning] did have enough Health Points to be taken out with a 70-point hit.
But undoubtedly, the other party would [Defense].
If they couldn’t take it out, then it would be pointless.
So that left the tough and elusive [Midnight Gong Ghost].
On the opposing side, [Midnight Gong Ghost] and [Cracked Mouth Cunning] both chose [Defense].
[Bomb Disposal Expert] opted to blow up the [Dragon Turtle].
And because of their exit, [Cracked Mouth Cunning]’s Health Points recovered to a full 160 points.
The first round ended with the following setup:
[Midnight Gong][Cracked Mouth][Empty Slot] freeωebnovēl.c૦m
VS
[Cloud Dragon][Frost Dragon][Empty Slot]
