Free Web NovelChapter 1236: Final Chapter [Great Saint]
Ree Shil was well aware that the current progression of this card game was a classic "What are you looking at" tempo.
Only now, as he found himself at the card table facing off against that guy, did he realize how absurdly strong his opponent’s predictions were.
But he wasn’t worried, he still had his trump cards.
A new round arrived, and the card he revealed was behind the "Mirage Dragon."
This card, ever since he acquired it, had never been displayed in public.
It was the extra reward he received after officially completing "Way of the Breakthrough."
A card similar to a Destiny Card——"Time Person."
"Time Person"
Wisdom, 0 Points, S
Attack 0, 100/100, 10/10
"Outside - Passive": Time Person can be placed at any card position and can be revealed at any time
"Insight - 1 Energy Point": Time Person selects 3 standard Covered Cards and activates "See Through"
"Fraud - 2 Energy Points": Time Person selects 1 card, making it "Invert" in this round
"Initial Force - 3 Energy Points": Time Person selects 1 friendly card position to "Substitute"
"Fusion - 4 energy points": Time Person selects 2 friendly cards, making them "Fusion" temporarily in this game
("See Through": Allows viewing of the target card face)
("Invert": "Attack" changes to "Defense," and "Defense" changes to "Attack")
("Substitute": Exchange cards during the Replacement Phase)
("Fusion": Two cards merge into one)
The moment this card was played, the waves it caused among the spectators need not be elaborated upon.
It seems "What are you looking at" also held this card in high esteem.
"Interesting."
His eyes revealed a look of genuine interest.
There were several reasons why Ree Shil played this card.
First, he needed to reserve enough points for the cards that would follow.
The 0 Points "Time Person" was clearly suitable.
Second, the functionality of "Time Person" was strong enough to warrant its place in the game.
Although it couldn’t lock targets, being able to see 3 of the opponent’s cards directly was quite good.
Third, he didn’t believe that the opponent’s predictive ability could be so strong.
So he wanted to test it out once more.
As soon as "Time Person" came into play, it viewed the 3 standard Covered Cards on the opponent’s side. freewёbnoνel.com
These 3 A-level Covered Cards could only be described as standard, unable to form any particularly effective tactics.
But immediately after, Ree Shil had "Time Person" release "Invert" during Stage 2.
The targeted card was the one most likely to "Defend" on the opponent’s side.
However, even under the influence of "Invert," that card still executed "Defense."
What did that tell us? It meant "What are you looking at" had directly chosen for it to "Attack," which is why it had "Inverted" to "Defense."
"That’s just ridiculous."
While both sides exchanged health points, Ree Shil couldn’t help but comment.
Due to the cumulative health deficit from earlier rounds, he didn’t cause any damage to the opponent’s cards this round.
On the contrary, "Cassius Hayes" was taken out by the opponent.
Ree Shil’s disadvantage in health began to translate into a disadvantage in card numbers.
A new round came, and he did not choose to reveal the Outer Card "Overlord Below."
Because at this point, the game was already in dire straits, not accounting for the current round’s reveals, he only had 3 Revealed Cards on the field, and the opponent had only 4.
Plus, both parties had zero-point zero-attack functional auxiliary cards.
This meant "What are you looking at" had an apparent card DPS of 90 points, incapable of taking out "Overlord Below" in one hit.
Unless this round’s Reveal Card was a 60-point card, Ree Shil did not have to worry.
So the card he chose to reveal was situated behind "Kane Berry."
A card that no one expected.
"Horned Mage"
Listening to the Wind, 30 points, A
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/3
"Hellfire - Passive": If "Heavenly Fire Descent" eliminates all targets, it summons 1 "Hellfire," limited to one time per game
"Heavenly Fire Descent - 3 Point Energy": Horned Mage deals 40 points of True Damage to 2 card positions in a row
"Hellfire"
Berserk, 40 points, A
Attack 40, 150/150
"Huge Size - Passive": Hellfire occupies 1 row and 2 card positions, Health Points +50
"Continuous Burning - Passive": Hellfire deals 10 points of Ignition Damage to adjacent units Every Round
Hunchback Woman: "What is this situation?"
Museum Director Phoenix: "This last game, he’s playing a bit whimsically..."
Everyone had thought that after playing a 0 point card, the next would be a 100-point "Spirit Master" or something similar.
It’s not that "Horned Mage" wasn’t strong, but there were clearly better cards in Ree Shil’s deck for the current situation, and not just one.
Clearly, "Horned Mage" wasn’t the optimal choice.
Hunchback Woman: "Looks like Henry Thompson is not under any pressure to win or lose, opting for a more playful approach."
Museum Director Phoenix: "Can’t say there isn’t a possibility of that."
The commentators started making excuses for Ree Shil. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
In their minds, it wasn’t a bad strategy at all.
After all, The Major District Champion had already been decided, how important was one’s personal fame?
Just mess around a bit, even if you lose, no one would fault you, they’d just think you were throwing the game.
That’s a better outcome than fighting tooth and nail and then losing.
Because by now, they had begun to discern some issues.
It seemed that in the previous games, Ree Shil had never shown such an apparent disadvantage.
As for "What are you looking at," they did not reveal a 60-point card.
This allowed Ree Shil to breathe a sigh of relief; the opponent didn’t seem to have x-ray vision or the ability to see the future, otherwise, they would have played a 60-point card right then, pressing down on "Overlord Below."
During the Action Phase, the opponent’s actions conformed to his wishes, all cards Focusing Fire on Covered Card "Overlord Below."
