Free Web NovelChapter 37: Chapter 17: The Boss Bureau_2
The strands of flesh twisted together and gradually took on a humanoid form.
Dr. Lee’s upper body appeared in front of them.
Except this time, there was no skin on his face, only muscle fibers.
But his eyes seemed to have regained clarity, no longer covered in black.
[Hahaha, you’re all going to die!]
At this point, he was staring fiercely at Ree Shil and Straw Man, especially at Straw Man.
"Wow, he’s just as ugly without his skin."
Mossy Mushroom craned its head and surveyed the opponent’s appearance.
"Still ugly, hahaha, grass."
Straw Man chimed in.
"No, how can you guys say that about someone else?"
Ree Shil shook his head: "I think he’s actually gotten uglier."
[Damn you all, I will tear you to pieces!]
The exchange between the three only served to infuriate Dr. Lee even more.
But the three didn’t pay any attention to him and huddled together to start a whispered strategy meeting.
"Should we focus fire on the King Card?"
Mossy Mushroom looked at Ree Shil.
In its view, as long as they had a good defense, they could easily wear down the other side.
"No... Focus fire on the right arm."
Ree Shil’s tone was very firm, however.
He turned his head back, his gaze sweeping between the [Giant Undead Left Arm] and [Giant Undead Right Arm].
His eyes saw information that Mossy Mushroom and Straw Man could not.
[Absolute Card Sense] came in handy again.
He could see the[?]skills of the two BOSS cards!
[Fist Attack-6 Energy]: Giant Undead Left Arm unites with the torso and Giant Undead Right Arm to deal 100 damage to all of the enemy’s cards (Listening to the Wind)
[Fist Attack-6 Energy]: Giant Undead Right Arm unites with the torso and Giant Undead Left Arm to deal 100 damage to all of the enemy’s cards (Wind Chaser)
Although he couldn’t see the?skills of the opponent’s King Card, he knew for certain that if they didn’t deal with the two giant arms cards, it wouldn’t end well.
Listening to the Wind cards recover 1 energy point for every 1 [Standstill] round, Wind Chaser cards recover 1 energy point for every complete round.
In the sixth round, the Wind Chaser card’s [Giant Undead Right Arm] would crush them.
All cards take 100 damage each - the very concept was staggering.
He could only say it was too exaggerated; it was truly a BOSS battle.
"Ah? Focus fire on the right arm?"
Mossy Mushroom expressed its confusion when it heard this.
"Don’t question it, grass."
Straw Man slapped it on the head.
It was enough to listen to Team Captain Ree, did it need a mushroom person to comment on it?
"Good job, I’ll treat you to milk tea when we go out."
Straw Man’s understanding satisfied Ree Shil.
"Thanks, Boss, grass~"
This delighted Straw Man.
After the previous consumption of their zombie cards, their lineup was as follows:
[Burning Tire][Burning Table][Empty Slot]
[Zombie dog][Bubble Mushroom][Empty Slot]
[Rogue Mushroom][Evil Mushroom][Fat Cat]
[Sheep Girl][Oil Mushroom][Burning Door]
Since the opponent’s cards can only attack one row at a time, there’s not much difference between having only two or three cards left in the first row.
Straw Man had already chosen for the 0-attack burning cards to[Defense].
Then other cards focus fired on the[Giant Undead Right Arm].
The action selection was complete, and the action round officially began.
[You will see the power of magic!]
With Dr. Lee’s roar, the giant zombie beast beneath him let out a thunderous roar.
[Roar!]
Then its head slammed down fiercely.
Boom!
The projections of the two burning garbage cards were knocked into the air on the spot.
-10, -10
Damage values popped up above their heads. freёwebnovel.com
[You’ll be crushed by my left hand alone!]
And then the right fist roared down.
Boom!
-15, -15
In an instant, the two burning garbage cards each lost 25 Health Points.
[Miecha!]
On their side, the projections, led by Sheep Girl, rushed up and began to gang up on the right arm.
In total, they inflicted over 200 points of health damage to the [Giant Undead Right Arm].
Based on efficiency, it would take 4 rounds to defeat the right arm.
Furthermore, they discovered that as the rounds progressed, Dr. Lee seemed to lose his sanity more and more.
At first, he would still rant and taunt, but his speech became increasingly incomprehensible as blackness covered more and more of his eyes.
After 4 rounds, the [Giant Undead Right Arm] was shattered and dissipated into blue light, exiting the battle.
[No... don’t...]
[I don’t... want... to...]
[Disappear... Roar!]
As the last trace of whiteness in his eyes was obscured by blackness, Dr. Lee’s body began to tremble.
Large amounts of fleshy tendrils emerged from around him, wrapping him into a cocoon of flesh.
The flesh cocoon pulsed rapidly, shrinking in size with each pulse, looking as if it was... digesting.
In a short while, the flesh cocoon enveloping Dr. Lee disappeared completely.
Unaffected by this situation, Ree Shil and his team turned their focus to the [Giant Undead Left Arm] starting in the 5th round.
When the 6th round arrived, the [Giant Undead Left Arm] finally stored enough energy to unleash its ability.
However, since it had lost the [Giant Undead Right Arm], it couldn’t activate its ability.
Thus, after both[Burning Door]first-row cards retreated and the health of the second row’s[Bubble Mushroom]and another card was partially depleted, the [Giant Undead Left Arm], too, was defeated.
Unexpectedly, though, a surprising turn of events happened in the following round.
[Miecha~!]
Sheep Girl led the charge, only to find the giant Grieving Beast, now armless, curling up its body and allowing them to assault it.
This was... assuming a [Defense] stance.
Since it already had the damage reduction from its [Muscle Armor], adding the[Defense], its toughness was virtually impenetrable.
Even a 30-point attack card could only deal 5 points of damage.
For something like the[Iron stick], which only had 26 points of attack, it could only deal 3 points of damage.
Two consecutive rounds passed with the Boss not attacking, instead adopting a defensive posture.
"What’s the matter with this Boss, has it lost its will to fight after losing both arms?"
"In that case, it should be easy to defeat; just slowly whittle it down."
"Is it because you guessed this that you had us focus fire on its arms first?"
Mossy Mushroom looked to Ree Shil.
"Next round, we all defend, and let [Cheer Up Mushroom] heal."
Ree Shil was also unsure why this was happening, but anything out of the ordinary must have a reason.
Indeed, in the next action round, the opposition was still in [Defense].
[Cheer Up~ Cheer Up~ Cute Mushroom!]
Neither side attacked, and the Energy Mushroom danced by itself.
"What’s going on here?"
Mossy Mushroom couldn’t comprehend the situation.
In the following rounds, the Boss remained motionless.
So, they joined their enemy in a staring contest, patiently waiting for the Cheer Up Mushroom to fill up the health of their second row cards completely.
Only after they were fully healed did they resume focusing fire.
Two rounds of focusing fire had already accumulated 18 points of energy for the Boss.
Adding this round, its energy was finally full.
"It might act surprisingly in the next round, so let’s group defend again."
Seeing the energy-filled Boss, Ree Shil was very cautious.
"OK, we’ll follow your lead."
"Is our shift over? Grass."
However, it seemed like he had miscalculated this time.
The new action round arrived, but the Boss still took no action.
Mossy Mushroom: "What’s the matter? Did it crash?"
Ree Shil: "Hmm... we wasted a DPS round."
It was unexpected, to say the least.
But what surprised them even more was that during the card unveiling stage of the next round, the Boss suddenly stirred.
[Roar!!!]
The armless monster let out a skyward howl, and a mass of fleshy tendrils sprouted from both its shoulders.
The dense tendrils twisted and entangled together, gradually forming two lumps of flesh.
"You can’t be serious, Si."
Ree Shil thought of something.
"What’s the point of playing this?"
Mossy Mushroom was equally stunned.
"What a jerk! Grass!"
Even Straw Man could sense what was about to happen.
As expected, these two lumps of fleshy tendrils quickly tightened, taking on the shape of left and right arms within moments.
Unbelievably, this Boss could actually re-summon its left and right arms!
