Free Web NovelChapter 294: Chapter 113: New Powerful Negative Card
"Huh? Seems like there’s a chance."
Ree Shil was mainly looking at something other than the card face.
He was very clear about what his cards could do and their roles since they were all his main cards.
What he was mainly focusing on were the Inscription Effects.
Even after the 9th run, he was not very familiar with them.
Right now, his focus was on the 3-Star Steadfast Inscription.
[Determination - Sustainable Defense★★★ (Enhanced)]: When Friendly Cards [Defense] take Damage, gain 5 points of [Healing]
A math problem was being calculated in his mind.
The [Floral Jade Deer] couldn’t [Defense], so it would lose 70 Health Points when attacked by the Boss. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
When the [Stone Soldier] uses [Defense], it would lose 47.5 Health Points when attacked by the Boss.
When the [Iron stick] uses [Defense], it would lose 50 Health Points when attacked by the Boss.
Now, his total Health was... 80 Health Points.
Even if the Boss slapped him, he wouldn’t die immediately.
Other than the [Floral Jade Deer], all the other cards could [Defense], and under the effect of [Determination - Sustainable Defense★★★ (Enhanced)], they could gain 35 points of [Healing].
The Scene Card [Hundred Demons Night Parade] would recover 5+5 points of [Healing].
[Floral Jade Deer] would provide 30 points of [Healing].
That summed up to 75 points of [Healing].
In other words, the worst outcome would be the Boss dealing 70 damage to the [Floral Jade Deer].
Then, his side would still profit 5 Health Points with the 75 points of [Healing].
"My gosh, it would take... 177 rounds to fully recover my Health!"
"Is there a pause button so I can take a break to eat or go to the bathroom?"
Ree Shil had a feeling that an ultimate bladder challenge was on its way.
The thing is, 177 rounds are just the rounds needed to fully recover his Health.
He hadn’t calculated the rounds needed to defeat the Boss and recover Health midway.
This Boss doesn’t have any Berserk Mechanism or something, does it?
The only answer was in front of him, and he had no choice.
"Fortunately, Cube Card is very user-friendly. I can set up a program and let it take care of things."
After inputting several voice commands to create a fixed pattern program, Ree Shil simply sat down on the spot.
[Roar!]
[Gentle Flower~!]
And then, he watched as the Boss began to rampage on the Card Table.
His side was either Petrifying or Defending, basically not doing much.
Unconsciously, he fell asleep while watching!
When he woke up...
"Damn, why didn’t I sleep longer? My Health is still not full!"
He rubbed his forehead.
However, his total Health had recovered to 780/965, not far off.
He thought about it for a moment and set up another program.
He instructed the non-outer cards to start attacking when their Health was full and to continue restoring Health when it was less than half, just in case.
Just like that, more than an hour passed by in boredom.
[Roar!!!]
The Boss’s Health Points finally dropped to 0, and its Magma Body began to shake violently.
"Please, don’t let there be a Stage 4."
Ree Shil finally perked up and prayed that the other side would be kind.
This time, the prayer worked.
The Boss’s body gradually cooled down, eventually turning into a big rock that didn’t look much different from the surroundings.
A small piece of rock suddenly fell off from it, as if triggering a domino effect.
Crash...
In the end, it shattered into pieces of various-sized rocks on the ground.
Buzz...
Blue Light shot into the sky, and the Card table began to shrink.
"Phew..."
Ree Shil stood up and let out a breath.
Finally, he managed to defeat this troublesome Boss.
"Congratulations, Card Master."
The expected Inscription Options didn’t appear. Instead, the Balance Messenger appeared out of nowhere.
"Congratulations, you’ve completed the Newbie Tutorial for [Balance-Way of balance]."
"You call this a newbie tutorial?"
Ree Shil’s expression froze.
"Of course, it’s Level Zero after all, not a real level in the true sense."
"Subsequent levels will have stronger monsters."
"Starting from One Level Zero, monsters will have two modifiers."
The Balance Messenger explained.
"Hold on, I didn’t even reach Level 10."
Ree Shil thought it was because he hadn’t reached Level 10 yet, so the monster only had one modifier.
Secretary Brown had previously introduced too many things, which confused him.
"No, no. Each time you go up a level, the number of monster modifier skills will increase."
"So, what’s the difference between card player levels? Higher level card players have stronger card deck depths, so wouldn’t it be easier for them?"
"That’s not the case. At the same level, higher level card player will face stronger monsters with higher stats. However, the balance points and high-quality rune chance for higher level card players will also increase accordingly."
"I see..."
After listening to the other party’s explanation, Ree Shil nodded.
"In this level, all your inscriptions and spell cards will be settled into balance points, plus the balance points you have accumulated so far."
"You can exchange some inscriptions or spell cards at One Level Zero with these balance points. By the way, you can choose your Card Power again at every Level Zero."
"From now on, you can directly start from One Level Zero for each Balance Run, and your initial balance points will be your current record."
"Of course, if you’re not satisfied with your current balance points record, you can start from Level Zero again."
"If your balance points record is refreshed, your initial balance points at One Level Zero will also be refreshed."
Then, the Balance Messenger continued to explain.
