Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 198: Chapter 81: Successful Revenge

"You really are quite skilled."

The three-eyed girl heaved a deep sigh when she saw her card deck in a disadvantaged position.

However, she thought she could still manage, as long as she revealed the regular card beneath.

"So, it’s [Lotus Buried Bone] again?"

Ree Shil correctly guessed her thoughts.

"Uh!"

The three-eyed girl couldn’t help but cover her right chest, feeling a bit frustrated.

It seemed like her momentum, which was about to rise, was suppressed once again.

That’s right, the card she was going to reveal this round was [Lotus Buried Bone].

"[In the depths of the mud...]"

A mournful dirge sounded as the pure white skeletons emerged from the muddy depths.

[Lotus Buried Bone]

Listening to the Wind, 30 points, B

Attack 30, 100/100, 9/9

[Buried Bone-Passive]: Lotus Buried Bone can still recover energy when covered

[Deep Resentment-Passive]: Lotus Buried Bone recovers only 0.5 energy points per round but deals double damage during the reveal round

[Bone Lotus-9 energy]: Lotus Buried Bone deals 100 true damage to a target

([True Damage]: cannot be negated or reduced by any defense means)

This card, combined with the [Cursed Lich], was her true damage combo.

It was quite powerful in certain situations.

At the very least, revealing [Lotus Buried Bone] during the last round would guarantee an instant kill on one of the opponent’s cards.

And her target was the [Sword Dance Girl].

The key wasn’t this card, but to kill her swiftly so as to threaten the [Great Fire Demon] behind her.

After all, with an attack power of 80 points, this card posed the greatest threat to her.

It was amusing; she never thought she’d be cornered by a "whiteboard."

But Ree Shil had already expected her to have such a move, so how could he not be prepared? freewёbnoνel.com

He just snapped his fingers.

Ding!

[All gather to me!]

The Double-headed Man, with both a cat head and a dog head, rushed out from the card table’s pillar of light.

That’s right, this round he played one of his very useful scapegoat cards.

In Cube Card, unless specifically indicated, other skills, like attacks, are distance-dependent.

Otherwise, effects like [Penetration] would be meaningless.

To put it more intuitively, [Lotus Buried Bone]’s[Bone Lotus]could only hit the outermost card on Ree Shil’s side.

Even if she targeted [Sword Dance Girl] during the Action Phase, once [Double-headed Captain] placed three [Trainee Soldiers] in the front row, [Lotus Buried Bone]’s skill would automatically hit the [Trainee Soldier] in front of [Sword Dance Girl], unable to bypass.

Now it was essentially trading a life of[Double-headed Captain]for one of[Sword Dance Girl], absolutely worth it.

Ree Shil often used this strategy on the Simulated Card Table.

Both[Summon]and[Move]could take advantage of this rule to help teammates evade damage.

"..."

Upon seeing this card, the three-eyed girl’s head started to throb.

She had originally thought that, once she revealed [Lotus Buried Bone], the situation would tilt back in her favor.

Oh, no, it seemed that the situation had never been in her favor!

Anyway, right now she had to deal with one problem – to predict whether Ree Shil would send out a scapegoat this round or not.

If yes, then she only needed to use a regular attack to handle the [Trainee Soldier].

If not, then it was time for [Lotus Buried Bone] to step in.

The worst-case scenario was her not using [Lotus Buried Bone]’s skill while the opponent didn’t send out a scapegoat, either.

That would be a complete loss.

Even with all her movable cards focusing fire, she couldn’t instantly kill the defensive [Sword Dance Girl].

(However, in the previous round, he chose to let [Jade Antler Deer] attack instead of[Healing].)

(This shows that this person tends to take a more opportunistic approach on the card table.)

After serious consideration, the three-eyed girl finally reached a decision.

She would assume that it was more likely for Ree Shil not to play[Trainee Soldier]during this round.

So, to be safe, [Giant Mud Man] would defend.

As for the remaining [Grand Silt], it would attack[Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit], while[Cursed Lich]+[Golden Horned Fairy]+[Lotus Buried Bone]would focus fire on[Sword Dance Girl].

If the opponent summoned, it would instantly kill the summoned object; if not, it would consume most of the opponent’s health.

So, when the Action Phase arrived, the facts proved that she guessed correctly.

Ree Shil didn’t immediately sacrifice[Double-headed Captain]to send out[Trainee Soldier].

So, [Grand Silt]’s sacrificial attack, combined with [Cursed Lich]’s passive skill, dealt 20 points of damage to[Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit].

[Cursed Lich]+[Golden Horned Fairy]+[Lotus Buried Bone]hit[Sword Dance Girl]’s[Defense], causing 15+25.5+20=60.5 points of damage.

On the other side was Ree Shil’s attack results.

[Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] skill+control, along with[Great Fire Demon]+[Double-headed Captain], dealt 20 (skill damage reduced by [Big Mudball])+80+30=130 points of damage, exactly killing[Giant Mud Man].

[Jade Antler Deer]hit 10 points of damage, eliminating[Grand Silt].

[Zombie Beast Brother]attacked[Cursed Lich], dealing 35 points of damage.

The Action Phase ended, and the card positions of both sides were as follows after the settlement:

[Sorcerer Lich 65][Totem][Buried Bone]

[Empty Slot][Empty Slot][Horned Immortal]

VS

[Brother Noble][Dancing Lady 34.5][Sheep Rabbit 80]

[Double Head][Fire Demon][Jade-Horned Deer 95]

"Ah, this...!"

It wasn’t until the end of the round that the three-eyed girl was suddenly shocked.

With a zero-for-two exchange this round, she went from a significant disadvantage to a desperate one!
