Free Web NovelChapter 89: Chapter 42: Not Letting People Play Anymore_2
Together with the Long Whip, the Bulwark created a scene card effect, successfully triggering 3 attacks on the Iron Stick and causing 15 + 15 + 10 (True damage) = 40 points of damage.
In Cube Card, if damage overflows, it will not be passed on to the second card in the back. So how to reasonably distribute the damage after completing the attack is a matter of study.
At the end of the first round, both sides have the following card at display:
[Set card][Set card][Double Whip 80]
[Scout 80][Bulwark][Empty Slot]
VS
[Iron Stick 60][Empty Slot][Water Wheel]
[Fox Head][Set card][Set card]
It wasn’t apparent during the battle, but the audience was surprised when the card situation was revealed.
Rose Cooper:[Wow, after two rounds, Ree Shil has actually managed to gain an equilibrium?]
Indeed, both sides lost 40 health and one card.
Never mind that the balance was only just barely achieved relying on Fox Head Guard’s AOE, as no one knows what kind of cards both parties will reveal in the following round.
"Impressive."
Even Black Smoke, his opponent, couldn’t help but look at Ree Shil with admiration at this point.
He hadn’t expected that while his cards had more points and scene card effects, his adversary would still manage to maintain the equilibrium at the end of the second round.
It can only be said that the opponent across the card table, although not having a strong card deck, really had a good grasp of damage dealt.
He considered himself inferior to him!
"Let’s reveal our cards."
However, Ree Shil knew that he would not be able to gain any advantages in the following round.
[Woof woof woof!]
[Meow meow meow!]
A humanoid projection wearing armor appeared on the card surface, but it had two heads.
A dog head, and a cat head.
[Double-headed Captain]
Berserk, 30 points, D
Attack 30, 100/100
[New Recruits Gathering - 100% Health]: Summon up to 3 Trainee Soldiers in a row.
"Huh? You still have hidden cards?"
Seeing this new, unseen card, Black Smoke was taken aback.
"Plenty more, all the cards behind are new ones."
Ree Shil shrugged.
Black Smoke obviously didn’t believe such a statement.
What he was more concerned about now was where exactly the opponent’s King Card was hiding.
From the current situation, suspicions were on both left and right rows.
Because there is only one[Double-headed Captain]left in the middle now, which was a sacrificial card.
It needed to sacrifice itself to release its skill, so the King Card wouldn’t usually be placed here.
However, it wasn’t excluded that the opponent had prepared a reverse psychology trick.
"It’s really hard to figure out."
Shaking his head, he revealed his covered card.
Since he couldn’t figure it out, he might as well charge ahead.
[Zigzag aaa!]
A particularly loud bug beast cry sounded, and a snake-like figure rose from the card surface.
It only revealed its upper body from the card surface, had a mosquito-like sharp pointed mouthpiece, and the hooked barbs on its insect shell made it look very fierce.
"Oh come on, this is a bit too much."
When Ree Shil saw the card displayed on the opponent’s side, he was immediately speechless.
[Savage Shell Commander]
Wind Chaser, 40 points, C
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/5
[Commander - Passive]: Savage Shell Commander’s attack power is reduced by 10, and it absorbs the energy of all other Wind Chaser Savage Shell cards with lower scores each round.
[Savage Shell Sweep - 5 Energy]: Savage Shell Commander inflicts 30 damage on up to 3 targets in a row.
This card could actually absorb the energy of other Wind Chaser Savage Shell cards.
Fortunately, he had already killed off one[Savage Shell Scout], otherwise, it would have reached full energy in two rounds.
[It’s here! Black Smoke has drawn a decisive card!]
Seeing this card appear, Henry Thompson’s voice immediately became excited.
Both sides have finished revealing their cards, and the third action round begins.
Since Ree Shil couldn’t figure out which card the opponent would adopt[Defense]tactics for, he decided to spread his firepower between both the [Iron Stick] and the [Water Wheel] for defense.
The Fox Head attacked the Savage Shell Scout, and the Double-headed Captain attacked the Savage Shell Double Whip.
As a result, the Scout chose [Defense], while the Double Whip did not.
He could accept that outcome.
In his view, if both physical attacks of the two cards were used on [Defense], that would be a waste of DPS.
As for Black Smoke on the other side, the remaining three cards chose to focus fire on the Iron Stick.
By the end of the third round, the situation was as follows:
[Set card][Commander][Double Whip 50]
[Scout 65][Bulwark][Empty Slot]
VS
[Iron Stick 5][Empty Slot][Water Wheel]
[Fox Head][Double Head][Set card]
Following this trend, Ree Shil’s first-row cards would not survive the next round.
He could already foresee how the opponent intended to execute their tactics.
Mainly in this round, the [Savage Shell Commander] had already drawn 2 points of energy from the [Savage Shell Scout], plus the 1 point it restored by itself.
By the end of the next round, it would restore 1 point and draw 1 point from the [Savage Shell Scout], filling up its 5-energy bar.
By the time the next round came, all of his first-row cards would have left the field, and then the [Savage Shell Commander] would be able to slap his three second-row cards with one hand.
However, Ree Shil wasn’t panicking, as he would have 5 revealed cards in hand the next round, and if the opponent wanted to force an exchange, he could take away two of their cards in one round as well.
Off the field, the two commentators were also analyzing the situation on the card table.
Director Thompson’s view was actually similar to Ree Shil’s.
Rose Cooper:[Director Thompson, are you saying that as long as it enters the round after next, Ree Shil’s doomed situation will be completely exposed?]
Director Thompson:[Yes, there’s no doubt about that]
Director Thompson:[Although both sides still have a set card to reveal, it basically won’t change the situation]
Director Thompson:[What everyone should pay attention to is that Black Smoke Player’s king card is likely placed in the middle column, and now his first card in the middle column is not only a defensive card but also full blood]
Director Thompson:[Of course, if his playstyle is too aggressive, overly pursuing fast blood exchange, Ree Shil still has a 0.01% chance of winning]
Director Thompson:[Yes, that’s it]
Director Thompson was quite satisfied with his remarks, especially since he left some leeway at the end, which was both appropriate and non-committal.
"As long as I play steadily, you won’t have a chance," said Black Smoke at the card table, his words echoing those of Director Thompson.
As soon as his words fell, the hand covered in black mist extended to reveal a card.
However, it wasn’t a set card being revealed, but... a new scene card!
"!"
Ree Shil immediately understood the situation.
Scene cards can be replaced.
Using different scene cards at different times can create different tactics.
At this time, the commentators had already exclaimed.
Rose Cooper:[Oh my God! How terrifying! Black Smoke player actually has two scene cards!]
Director Thompson:[This deck depth is championship material!]
Even Director Thompson could no longer worry about being non-committal, with a heartfelt call.
Normally, there would be no chance of a scene card appearing in the Nova Championships at all.
Let alone two at once!
Black Smoke did not disappoint him, as he drew quite a powerful set of cards.
[Gurgle...]
One by one, insect eggs floated out of the card table.
Replacing the brown barren mud was a space made of brown flesh and blood.
"I can’t believe it, a C-level Scenery Card." freeweɓnovel.cøm
At this point, Ree Shil finally understood why Black Smoke said this card deck was his strongest.
[Savage Shell Den]
Scene, C
[Savage Shell Healing]: Immediately restore 30 health points to a card on your side with the lowest health, limited to 1 time per round
[Savage Shell Nourishment]: Immediately restore 20 health points to a card on your side with the second-lowest health, limited to 1 time per round
+30, +20
Two green healing numbers popped up over the heads of the [Savage Shell Double Whip] and [Savage Shell Scout], raising their health to 80 and 85.
It can be foreseen that after adding blood this round, the opponent will have the [Savage Shell Territory] re-equipped in the next round to continue boosting their output.
"This isn’t even fair."
Ree Shil suddenly found it challenging.
