Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 376: Chapter 140: Damn, I’ve Been Set Up

"[Ladies and Gentlemen, won’t you hurry and subdue yourselves]"

A young lady with tiny coral-like horns sprouted from her head, holding a calligraphy brush and a piece of charm paper, elegantly strode out from the face of the card.

"[Demon-eliminating Demon]"

Balance, 40 points, B

Attack 40, 100/100 freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

[Heavenly Master-Passive]: When Demon-eliminating Demon attacks a demon card, attack power +10

[Left Guardian-Passive]: Damage -5 when Demon-eliminating Demon is attacked by a demon card, Damage -10 when a card from your side on the left row is attacked by a demon card

[Right Guardian-Passive]: Damage -5 when Demon-eliminating Demon is attacked by a demon card, Damage -10 when a card from your side on the right row is attacked by a demon card

This was the card Ree Shil had just created on his journey here.

The material was drawn from the myriad card pool during his experience with the Way of Balance.

It originally had a pair of cards.

[Left Demon Master]

Balance, 30 points, D

Attack 30, 100/100

[Guardian-Passive]: Damage -5 when Left Demon Master is attacked by a demon card, Damage -5 when a card on the right row of Left Demon Master is attacked by a demon card

The nature of [Right Demon Master] is opposite to that of [Left Demon Master].

The compatibility of these two cards isn’t high, which resulted in a C-rank fusion card.

They protect two of the your own cards on either side, but lose damage reduction in the process.

So, Ree Shil hadn’t acted on them until today when he procured the [Demon-eliminating Demon], when he realized through preview that they had a good compatibility.

[Demon-eliminating Demon] can become the core card, making these two cards work together for an effect greater than the sum of their parts.

"Good card!"

Even Henry Thompson couldn’t help but praise after browsing this card.

A demon-slaying card not only deals more damage to demon cards on the offensive, but it’s also considered a demon-counter card if it can reduce demon card damage on defense.

He’s played countless card games with the players over this period and seen many demon-counter cards.

The[Demon-eliminating Demon] card of Ree Shil is considered one of the best.

Outside the barrier, the audience was also discussing.

"This demon-countering card is really powerful."

"It’s also very team-oriented, taking care of an entire row of cards."

"The curator needs to make a decision now, whether to prioritize eliminating the [Demon-eliminating Demon] or the [Demon-Slaying Puppet]."

"Both these cards pose a problem for him."

"Do you think it’s because of the two demon-counter cards that I feel like Coach Shil’s has more momentum this round?"

"But look at the curator, he’s smiling happily, he’s clearly enjoying the card game..."

As someone pointed out, not only did Henry Thompson not appear troubled, but he seemed to be enjoying the situation.

"Whew..."

Blue Skin on the side of the crowd finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Coach Shil could actually play such a good demon-counter card, it looks like this game should be up for grabs.

He thought Coach Shil was going to get smashed this round when Henry Thompson finished unveiling his card just now.

"What’s going on, aren’t you celebrating too early."

But Jason Hou next to him noticed his expression and commented, "You guys can’t possibly think that the master only has demon cards."

As Jason Hou finished speaking, the first action round on the card table kicked off.

"[Brrr. You’re going to freeze too!]"

The first player to take action was [Snowball Monster].

Using its ice block skateboard to rush to the front. It then sprayed a mouthful of ice crystals at [Demon-eliminating Demon].

The effect popped up, and the [Demon-eliminating Demon] turned directly into an ice sculpture on the spot and was forcibly put on standby.

It seemed that Henry Thompson chose to attack the[Demon-eliminating Demon], considering it as a core-BUFF card with the high threat of 40 points attack power.

After the control showdown, the turn aptly moved on to the attack with priority level ’A’.

[Martial Fighting Monkey] and [Demon-Slaying Puppet] rushed towards the [Nocturnal Demon Leader].

"[Gulu Gaga!]"

"[Ahh chop you!]"

-5, -7.5 (penetration), -30

However, the reduced damage ability of "Hard to Distinguish in Mist" by the[Nocturnal Demon Leader] meant the damage dealt by[Martial Fighting Monkey]was even less than the penetrated damage.

"[Yahaha!]"

But the [Nocturnal Demon Leader] pounced towards the[Demon-eliminating Demon], enveloping it with mist.

Then the shadow in the mist turned from one to two, and we couldn’t tell exactly what happened. When the [Nocturnal Demon Leader] left, the damage number jumped out.

-45

It has to be said that without the[Golden Demon City], the results of this round for both sides should be about the same.

Ree Shil knocked down 42.5 points of the opponent’s health points, while he suffered 40 points.

But the 5 points [Shield]+ 5 points of attack boost reversed the situation.

Now, he only knocked down 37.5 points of the opposing party’s health points, while the opponent knocked down 45 of his.

This gap instantly became apparent as the tide turned.

At the end of the round, the cards of both parties were as follows:

[Set card][Set card -7.5][Set card]

[Snowball] [Nocturnal Demon Leader100] [Demon Tree]

VS

[Fighting Monkey] [Demon-Eliminating Demon 55] [Demon-Slaying Puppet]

Satisfied with the current status of the game, Ree Shil

He does not necessarily want to keep the[Demon-eliminating Demon]in play because the opposing party has control cards, making it hard to keep one specific card in play.

Instead of hoping to keep the[Demon-eliminating Demon], he hopes to quickly kill the[Nocturnal Demon Leader].

In this way, the output capability of the opponent in the early and middle stages will be significantly reduced.

But at this moment, Henry Thompson did not say a word, and his eyes seemed to have seen through the other party’s ideas.

The replacement phase had arrived, and he replaced one card.

As for Ree Shil, he did not replace any cards.

The unveiling phase had arrived, and he was the first to reveal.

"[Humm.... Clank!]"

After a vibration in the air, the chime of a sword echoed.

A longsword made of energy flew out of the card, sometimes overflowing with red light, and sometimes shining with blue light.
