This was a lot more powerful than Boss’ own monster.
Fortunately, their health was only 1000.
It would take me about 1.5 rounds to kill one.
After careful calculations, it would take about 14 rounds to finish the battle, approximately 140 seconds.
Each Giant Sea Anemone killed would reduce the time loss by 3 seconds, decreasing progressively.
"If there aren’t three stages in this BOSS battle, then I’ll surely win."
"Because I have 10 full minutes to deal with these Giant Sea Anemones, even if I ignore the decreasing loss, assuming they deduct 27 seconds from me per round, 14 rounds is only 378 seconds, just over 6 minutes."
"It seems that the Wind Chasing Messenger didn’t deceive me."
After making a rough estimate, Ree Shil lay down on the spot. freёwebnoѵel.com
Anyway, there was nothing he could do, so he just resigned himself to fate.
In the end, the battle gave him a little scare.
After clearing 9 Time-swallowing Giant Sea Anemones, they turned back into 9 ordinary Time-Eating Anemones.
Luckily, these Time-Eating Anemones only had 500 health, and his card deck took only 8 rounds to finish them all.
At the end of the card game, there was still nearly 2 minutes left in his time limit.
[Ding Dong!]
[After passing Level Zero Ten, please choose one of the following rewards]
[1. Choose 1 card from this level, with a D-Rank intensity]
[2. Choose 1 card from an unknown card, with an intensity of E~C]
"I choose 1."
Ree Shil didn’t hesitate at all.
He’d made this decision as soon as he saw that the Boss was the Sea Anemone King.
There were only three cards to choose from in this level.
He’d already encountered Time-Eating Anemone, so he just passed it.
That left the Giant Sea Anemone and the Sea Anemone King.
[Time-swallowing Giant Sea Anemone]
Wind Listening, 10 Points, D
Attack 10, 100/100, 0/2
[Time Devouring - Passive]: 1 round of Time-swallowing Giant Sea Anemone equals 1.2 rounds
[Time-swallowing Sea Anemone King]
Wind Listening, 10 Points, D
Attack 0, 100/100, 0/3
[Time Devouring - Passive]: Time-swallowing Sea Anemone King’s attack power -10, but its own round equals 2 rounds
"Wow, this is way stronger than the Time-Eating Anemone!"
Having seen these two cards, Ree Shil was pleasantly surprised.
He couldn’t comprehend the Time-Eating Anemone’s ability of 1 round equaling 1.1 rounds.
What he didn’t understand was what this card could be used for.
Also, out of curiosity during the gap between levels, he’d also used the Time-Eating Anemone as an experiment on the table.
Just like the literal meaning, it could act twice consecutively in the 10th round.
The benefits of acting twice consecutively were possible: [Attack] x2, [Stillness] x2, [Attack] + [Defense], [Stillness] + [Defense], or [Stillness] + [Attack].
However, [Defense] x2 was pointless and would not increase damage reduction.
Some delayed effects, such as [Poison], [Fear], etc., would be immediately active on the card table’s 10th round.
For some instant effects like [Dizziness], it would reduce its action by 1 time, which was still considered a gain overall.
After all, [Defense] x2 could be considered impenetrable.
But the Time-Eating Anemone card had its obvious drawbacks.
When Ree Shil used it for card-making, all of them inevitably exploded.
That’s right, not even swallowing cards would happen; two cards would just explode together.
This indicated that the card had extremely poor compatibility.
He later suspected that another card with the Time tag might be needed.
Actually, he did have a Time card in his possession.
It was an E-Rank waste card he’d drawn from the Ten-Thousand Card Pool previously.
He’d chosen it simply because of its Time tag.
That card also exploded.
But later, he picked another Time Mermaid card in the follow-up levels.
As expected, when previewed, the two cards did not explode when combined.
However, the result was card devouring, and Devouring Time was gone.
So, Ree Shil guessed that it should require a combination of time cards + Wind Listening System to be compatible with the Time-swallowing Sea Anemone.
Moreover, one extra round every 10 rounds didn’t have any appeal for him.
But now it’s different, as Time-swallowing Sea Anemone King is equal to 1 round being 2 rounds!
Although he didn’t know whether the minus Attack Power-10 of the card was due to its original base Attack Power being only 10 points, or if it genuinely only subtracted 10 points.
Regardless, this card was extremely valuable and hard to come by.
Time-based mechanics are rare and useful.
Even if the requirements for card-making are strict and the Attack Power is reset to 0, it is still a good card.
Imagine if Boss N’s Wind Listening Card, Interstellar Outpost, had such a feature; just one card would make Machine N appear in just five rounds.
If that were the case, it would be terrifyingly powerful.
There’s nothing more to say, I want all three of them."
Ree Shil didn’t hesitate after browsing the card faces.
He used all three chances directly to get the Time-swallowing Sea Anemone King.
Once the three cards were in hand, he previewed them again.
As expected, all other cards exploded when they were combined.
Only the Time Mermaid and the Time-Eating Anemone didn’t explode when previewed; instead, they were devoured by the Time-swallowing Sea Anemone King.
When the Time-swallowing Sea Anemone King and another Time-swallowing Sea Anemone King were combined, it also resulted in card devouring, with no changes to the card faces.
There was no need to dwell now that card selection was over.
He entered the white teleport gate.
Buzz!
In the blink of an eye, he arrived inside the Pure White Space.
The moment he entered, the prompt sounded immediately.
[Ding-Dong!]

"Nice, with this, my quota reaches 24 times."
"Thanks to the Wind Chasing Messenger, without her suggestion, I probably would have strengthened some inscriptions."
"Now I’ve saved more than 500 points."
Ree Shil sat down, delighted and waiting for the arrival of the major reward.
[Ding-Dong!]
[Complete Zero-level Passage to obtain 5 Card Draws]
Suddenly, a Light Group floated over.
It turned into a card and then split into two.
The two multiplied to four, four to eight, eight to sixteen...
A total of ten thousand Unknown Cards appeared in front of him.
"OK, it’s time to get to work."
Ree Shil rubbed his hands together.
This time, he had a clear goal for the card drawing.
