Free Web NovelChapter 712: Chapter 252: 2nd Round Ends Fight
When the action confirmation time came, Old Lee revealed his confident smile.
"Young lad, don’t think that unveiling an extra card will give you an advantage."
"Obviously, [Female Thief] is my only target."
"And if you don’t want to suffer heavy losses, you have to let [Female Thief] use [Defense]."
"But in doing so, you won’t be able to use [Flaws]."
"I also have [Barrier], so I won’t be at a disadvantage."
His speech was leisurely, even carrying an air of confidence as if the victory was in his grasp.
"So you want to trick me into using [Defense], huh?"
But Ree Shil didn’t buy into his trickery.
He could tell from just a few sentences.
This gatekeeper’s style was somewhat similar to his style of verbal provocation.
And so, the action phase arrived. freewёbnoνel.com
Old Lee’s side.
[Devil Cheerleader] uses [Defense].
[Sky Clan Idol] activates its skill on the defending [Female Thief], dealing 15 points of damage and inflicting [Fear].
[Martial Dancer] attacks the defending [Female Thief], dealing 20 points of damage.
Ree Shil’s side.
[Female Thief] uses [Defense].
[Tricky Hand Snake] attacks the defending [Devil Cheerleader], dealing 5+5 points of damage and inflicting 2 stacks of 10 points of [Poison].
[Male Thief] attacks the defending [Devil Cheerleader], dealing 15 points of damage, but it’s nullified by the [Barrier].
[Heavy Punch Bodyguard] attacks the card in the opposite middle row and spreads damage to both sides, dealing 10+20+10 points of damage.
The first round ends, and both sides’ cards are as follows:
[Set card90][Set card80][Set card90]
[Martial Dancer][Devil Cheerleader90][Sky Clan Idol]
VS
[Female Thief65][Bodyguard][Tricky Hand]
[Male Thief][Set card][Set card]
In terms of damage output, Ree Shil made a small profit.
50:35.
Although he unveiled one more card, the opponent had one layer of [Barrier], canceling out some of the damage.
"Unveiling one more card is just so-so."
Facing this slightly disadvantageous situation, Old Lee doesn’t feel any trouble at all.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Ree Shil had already taken the initiative to reveal his own row card.
[Roar!]
A white, elongated worm with a round, tooth-filled mouth at the top of its head was projected from the card.
The 90-point[Giant Iceworm], which spans two cells, makes its debut.
By just the second round, Ree Shil’s regular cards are all unveiled.
"This..."
Upon seeing the face of this card, Old Lee fell silent.
"Is your King Card worth only 10 points?"
A few seconds later, he finally asked the question.
"It doesn’t matter how many points it has because these few cards are enough to win."
This time, it’s Ree Shil’s turn to be confident.
Like he said before, 6+1 full C situation, who’s afraid of who?
There’s no need for any techniques; the sheer strength is enough to crush the opponent.
[Female Thief] + [Male Thief], [Giant Iceworm], two unveiled DPS points.
No matter which point the opponent tries to control, the other end will deal high damage in return.
The appearance of this[Giant Iceworm]made Old Lee’s hand that was on the covered card hesitate to unveil it.
He seemed to be pondering and hesitating at the same time.
"Alright, you win."
In the end, he didn’t unveil that card.
Within his limited substitute deck, he calculated various rotations, and the final results were all the same: he couldn’t defeat the opponent.
So continuing to fight would be completely pointless.
"Thank you for yielding."
"Hahahaha! Old Lee, even you have your days!"
Surrounded by Curator Phoenix’s mocking laughter, Old Lee opened the Blue Light Main Gate with a sullen face.
Ree Shil passed through the gate, officially entering the Underground Exchange.
Perhaps to blend in with the rocky environment outside, the interior was designed to resemble a medieval tavern.
It reminded him of the dwarven taverns he used to visit in his gaming days.
Aged wooden beams and dim orange lights were everywhere.
Many card players were mingling there, creating a harmonious and lively atmosphere.
"The items for sale at the exchange are over there. You can take a look."
Following the direction pointed by Curator Phoenix, Ree Shil saw two cabinets standing against a wall at the far end of the tavern.
Both cabinets were made of solid wood, each containing several compartments, each compartment brightly lit.
Most of the compartments had one item inside.
There were cards, Instance crystals, and scrolls.
These items were marked with special blue light runes to prevent theft- only the owner could unlock them.
"There are two types of containers: the real-time containers and the consignment containers."
"The ones that aren’t full are real-time containers, which means that the trader is currently in the tavern. If you’re interested in an item, you can negotiate the price with them."
"The full ones are consignment containers. Do you see the notes inside the compartments? Those are messages left by potential buyers for the seller."
"I suggest you take a look at the real-time container first."
With Curator Phoenix’s advice, Ree Shil walked up to the real-time container.
The container wasn’t big, displaying only about 20 or 30 items.
Although they had anti-theft runes, he was still able to hold and carefully examine them.
He could also preview them in this state.
First, he casually picked up a card. It was a B-rank material card.
The card’s projection was a large scythe made of shadow, seemingly lacking a solid body.
[Shadow Scythe]: Can equip a weapon to Follower cards and has a chance to give them related skills such as [Quantum Entanglement]
This card is a top-tier one at first glance.
Having an extra weapon for Follower cards would naturally make them stronger when entering instances.
But what really caught his eye were the keywords "certain probability."
