"It's not easy. That Swordfish card is too strong against the Summoning Deck."
"Yes, the main thing is that the cleaning is quite powerful."
"Actually, the same goes for the octopus. If you spend 30 health points, you can clear a row of minion cards at a time."
"I feel like the human girl is going to win."
"I think so."
While everyone was talking outside the blue light barrier, Photon's eyes revealed a thoughtful look.
What caused her reaction was the picture of [The Lost King of the Ancient City].
Shi Li wanted to test the strength of the summoning deck, so he forgot about it for a moment.
The dungeon competition just ended not long ago, and the two words "ancient city" can still easily arouse associations for those who are interested.
But it’s already been revealed, so it doesn’t matter.
In the fourth round, which was the card replacement stage, Photon made a card replacement.
Since the opponent has revealed 4 summoning cards so far, she is more certain about his tactical system.
"A deck that is too monotonous will only hurt you."
So she just said this to Shi Li, and then revealed her middle column and last row card.
【Crash! 】
Along with the sound of waves, a projection of a strange-shaped stone pillar slowly rose from the card.
The stone pillars are in a uniform upright shape, with densely packed strange patterns carved on them.
If you look closely, you will see that they look like drowned souls struggling.
【Sea Grudge Pillar】
Listen to the wind, 0 points, A
Attack 0, 100/100, 0/3
[Ghost Impact - Passive]: The turn this card appears, receive 10 points of [True Damage] from the Sea Grudge Pillar.
[Shattered Grudge Collection - Passive]: Every time a card with an attack power less than 30 is retired, [Sea Grudge Pillar] gains 1 layer of [Sea Grudge]
[Resentment Conversion - Passive]: For every layer of [Sea Resentment], [Sea Resentment Pillar]'s attack power +5 HP limit +5
[Pillar Spirit Burst - 3 Energy]: [Sea Grudge Pillar] consumes [Sea Grudge] to cause damage to all regular cards on the field. For every layer of [Sea Grudge], the damage is increased by 5 (except for [Sea Grudge Pillar] itself).
"this……"
This time, Photon didn't use the poison card.
Outside the blue light barrier, the Void Commentator has already begun analyzing this card.
"A typical and top-quality summon card!"
"Cards such as Summon, Resurrect, and Revive are considered 'appearance' rather than 'reveal'."
"If the attack power is less than 30, basically no minion-level summons can escape this range."
“Even some weaker low-scoring regulars, or low-scoring regulars with serious negative terms, can’t escape.”
"The most important thing is that it is a 0-point A-grade card! This is the ultimate part."
"Once this card is released, the opponent will most likely have to change the framework of their original summoning deck."
"A single 0-point card can make the opponent change their entire tactical thinking. Isn't that amazing?"
After listening to his analysis, everyone nodded, thinking it made sense.
Similarly, Shi Li was also analyzing the [Sea Grudge Pillar].
The use of this card is pretty straightforward.
The first thing to do is to [Stay Still] to charge it, since it has no attack power at the beginning anyway.
After charging, you can decide when to use the skill based on the situation.
At the same time, when the charging is completed, it can directly participate in the game and use the accumulated attack power to provide output.
The more creatures you summon, the more layers of [Sea Grudge] you can stack.
If there are enough layers to make it a panel monster, it will pose a huge threat even without using active skills.
On this card, Shi Li saw the ideal perfect Listening to the Wind card form.
First of all, it has significant functionality. The functionality here can refer to the ability to assist one's own cards, the ability to influence enemy cards, or the ability to cause damage.
Secondly, the most critical point of a perfect listening wind card is 0 points.
The biggest shortcoming of the Tingfeng card is the charging problem.
Cards with 0 points have no output, so if they are placed in the back row, they do not need to bear damage too early.
Then in this environment, the negative impact of their [Station] charging on their own deck will be minimized, almost to zero.
The saved points can be distributed to other cards to improve their combat effectiveness.
This is also the realization that Shi Li has just come to recently. The lower the score of the Listening Wind Card, the better.
Later, when he collects and shuffles the Wind-Listening Cards, he will try to move in this direction.
Back to the card table, the card he is going to reveal this turn is not actually a summoning card.
He just snapped his fingers.
bite!
[Shh…]
In the card projection, a masked man in black was tiptoeing, looking around and moving forward cautiously.
His appearance was ordinary, the only special thing about him was the vertical eye on his exposed forehead.
【Three Eyed Spy】
Balanced, 30 points, B
Attack 30, 70/100
【？ ？ 】：？ ？ ？
【？ ？ 】：？ ？ ？
【？ ？ 】：？ ？ ？
As soon as this card came out, there was an uproar outside the blue light barrier.
"Wow! What kind of card is this?!"
"Does this mean it has three entries, but they are all unknown skills?"
"I've never seen such a strange card!"
"I've seen this kind of card before. It's a card that can block your own skills."
"One of its entries should be a shielding skill."
"Huh? If we can't even show you our skills, how are our opponents supposed to formulate countermeasures?"
In fact, on this card table, if Photon does not change the scene card, this [Three-Eyed Spy] will not play any special role at all.
However, Shi Li didn't care so much about winning or losing in this game.
To put it bluntly, he just came to test the strength of the summoning deck.
The opponents in the underground exchange are of fairly good skill, but they are also strangers whose styles are completely unfamiliar to him.
It is just right as a test subject.
Therefore, based on the current card situation, I also used [Three-Eyed Spy] to see what actual reaction the opponent would have.
"It really broadens my horizons. To be honest, I have never seen such a weird card."
Photon didn't seem to be too shocked at this moment.
On the contrary, her eyes were rolling around darkly.
To be honest, this kind of shielding card is just a one-time product when put on the field.
Once the essence of the skill is figured out, shielding will be meaningless.
Now is the perfect time. Doesn't it give me a chance to get to know the other person?
So both sides had their own ideas and the action stage arrived.
Shi Li is here.
[The King of Death in the Ancient City] remained [still].
[Three-Eyed Spy] attacks [Freaky Swordfish], causing 30 damage.
[Two-Head Captain] attacks [Freak Swordfish], causing 30 points of damage.
[Wild Fat Cat] attacks [Freaky Swordfish], causing 20 points of damage and taking it away.
To him, the [Freak Swordfish] is a greater threat than the [Deformed Octopus].
Photon here.
The [Sea Grudge Pillar] remained [still].
[Deformed Octopus] attacks [Two-Headed Captain], causing 60 points of damage.
[Sea Blue Snail] attacks [Wild Fat Cat], causing 30 points of damage.
[Freak Swordfish] attacks [Wild Fat Cat], causing 35 points of damage and taking it away.
I didn't attack the [Three-Eyed Spy] because I wanted to keep him and observe him for a while.
At the end of round 4, the cards of both sides are as follows:
[Filthy Sea]
150 points, 4 cards remaining 150 points
【Cover】【Sea Pillar】1/3【Cover】
【Cover】【Snail】【Empty】
【Deformation】【Octopus 65】【Vacant seat】
VS
【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】【Vacant seat】
[Two-headed 15] [King of Death] 4/4 [Three-eyed 70]
190 points, 4 cards remaining 110 points
Your own retreat summon card: 3
【Big Fish Storm】（4/4，1/3）
"This situation is a bit difficult, human boy."
"Yes, even if there is a question mark card, it is still impossible to turn the tide. After all, it is only a B-grade card."
"Now he is at a clear disadvantage in terms of both cards and points."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this game became one-sided too early, and the excitement level suddenly dropped."
The attitudes of everyone present were basically the same.
"I'm sorry, friend. Looks like the Goblin Tree will be mine."
At this time, Photon smiled and revealed the last regular card on his right side.
【Bang, bang, bang!】x2
With the sound of hard objects colliding, the card was revealed.
A strange-looking crab projection jumped out from the beam of light on the card.
Yes, jump.
Most of the crab's appearance is the same as that of a normal crab.
The only difference is that its shell is jet black and uneven, making it look a bit dirty.
In addition, its legs are not crab legs. Except for a pair of claws, the remaining four pairs of legs are frog legs.
[Exotic Crab]
Chasing the Wind, 30 points, B
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/4
[Crab Claws - Passive]: During the turn when the alien crab attacks, the damage when attacked is -10
[ Love to Eat Garbage - Passive]: If the [Poison] effect appears on the field, the alien crab's attack power is increased by 10
[Double Claw Attack - 2 Energy]: The crab attacks 1 target. If the target is [Poisoned], the crab gains 30 [Healing] points.
Void Commentator: "This is a really good card."
"Especially the damage reduction item [Attack and Defense Crab Claw], which is a top-notch item."
"Obviously her trump card is not on the right column, so playing a card that has both attack and survivability at this time will put the opponent in a dilemma."
"It's like telling the other party nakedly, if you don't hit my crab, I will hurt you."
"If you hit my crab, then I will succeed in attracting firepower."
After listening to his analysis, everyone nodded, thinking it made sense.
As for Shi Li, he unveiled the cards in his plan.
【Ahhhhhhhhhhh! 】
A scarlet energy-like projection rose from the card.
Its appearance is vague and shapeless, exuding an evil and mysterious aura.
[Source of Violence]
Balanced, 40 points, B
Attack 40, 100/100
[Resentment Erosion - Passive]: When the source of resentment participates in the kill this round, the target will be transformed into a [Resentment Puppet]
[Resentment Nutrients - Passive]: When the Resentment Source or Resentment Puppet participates in a kill this round, gain 50 points of [Healing]
[Heaven's Way - Passive]: The source of evil will not be restored by other cards, and loses 30 health points each round
【Violent Puppet】
Balanced, 10 points, E
Attack 10, 15/15
(Correction: [Violent Puppet] 30/30 → 15/15)
After both parties unveiled their plaques, the action phase soon arrived.
Photon here.
The [Pillar of Sea Grudge] continues to remain [still].
[Alien Crab] is [defending].
[Sea Grudge Pillar] dealt .
The [Trainee Recruit] with only 10 HP was taken away directly.
[Sea Blue Snail] attacked [Two-Headed Captain] but hit [Trainee Recruit] instead.
[Deformed Octopus] attacked [Three-Eyed Spy] but hit [Zombie Guard] instead and took it away.
Void Commentator: "It is wise to attack the left and right sides separately."
"Because the summoning of [Ancient City Death King] can only be the 'nearest card', that is, except for the one [Death Beast Guard] in front of you, the other one can only be in the left front or right front."
"This way, one of the [Two-Headed Captain] or [Three-Eyed Spy] will definitely be exposed to fire."
"But it seems that she also did not expect the [Two-Headed Captain] to perform a self-destruct summon."
"That's why I let the [Alien Crab] [Defend]. If it didn't [Defend] but attacked, it could even use its own 10-point damage reduction mechanism to completely absorb the attacks of those summons and not be hurt."
"This octopus is so pitiful. It's a giant card with 200 health points, but it was controlled at the beginning, and then it was frustrated the whole time. It died without even using a single skill, even though its AOE is so strong."
Shi Li is here.
[Ancient City Death King] summoned two [Death Beast Guards] to block himself and [Three-Eyed Spy].
[Two-Headed Captain] summoned [Trainee Recruit] to block in front of him.
At the same time, it lost 30 points of health, which led to its exit.
[Source of Violence] attacks [Deformed Octopus], causing 40 points of damage.
[Three-Eyed Spy] attacks [Deformed Octopus], causing 30 points of damage and taking it away.
2 [Zombie Guards] attack the [Defending] [Alien Crab], causing 5 damage.
[Trainee Recruit] attacks the [Defending] [Alien Crab], causing 5 damage.
[Source of Violence] Lose 30 points of health and gain 50 points of [Healing].
Void Commentator: "I can't understand this operation."
"Obviously, the best option for [Two-Head Captain] is to launch an attack."
"Because it only has a certain amount of health left, it is now completely using its life to summon."
"30 attack points in exchange for a [Trainee Soldier] that is instantly killed. I don't know what the point is."
"After all, summoning minion cards at this time will not only add stats to the opponent's [Sea Grudge Pillar]."
"And if [Deformed Octopus] uses a skill before dying, all his first row of summons will be wiped out."
However, just as the Void Commentator finished his words, new changes occurred at the table.
First of all, because 2 minion cards retired, [Sea Grudge Pillar] gained 10 points of attack power and 10 points of health bonus.
The health limit bonus on the table is a side bonus unless otherwise stated.
This means that it now becomes a card with 10 attack + 110/110.
In addition, the [Deformed Octopus] was killed by the [Source of Violence] and turned into 2 [Violence Puppets] with 2 grids, but it received 10 points of damage from the [Sea Grudge Pillar].
This wave of damage, like the self-destruct damage of [Wilson's Boy ], belongs to the priority of additional special damage that will only appear at the end of the round.
Finally, Shi Li’s trump card is shown as “to be revealed”.
After the fifth round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
[Filthy Sea]
180 points, 3 remaining cards 120 points
2nd floor: Sea Grudge
[Cover] [Sea Pillar] 2/3 [Strange Crab 90] 1/4
【Cover】【Snail】【Empty】
[Li Kui 5][Li Kui 5][Vacant Position]
VS
【Vacant】 【Mourning Guard 5】【Vacant】
[Vacant] [King of Death] 0/4 [Three Eyes 70]
【Cover】【Resentment】【Cover】
【Fold】【Reveal】【Fold】
230 points, 3 cards remaining 70 points
【Big Fish Storm】（4/4，2/3）
Seeing this card, people outside the blue light barrier began to talk.
"The trump card was revealed? Did it trigger some mechanism?"
"I feel like this might have something to do with him forcibly summoning [Trainee Recruits]?"
"It's possible..."
"If the trump card is revealed... it seems that the situation is different again."
"Yes, enough summoning space, question mark cards, and high-attack summoning cards."
"I feel like this summoning deck is now officially starting to work."
"It's hard to say. Let's see what trump card he reveals first."
They originally thought that the game had been decided, but now their anticipation was raised again.
This is the charm of Cube Cards. You never know what impact the next card your opponent reveals will have on the direction of the game.
In such an atmosphere, Photon was the first to reveal his card.
[Howl～～～]
A melodious yet shrill cry came from the card.
I saw a thick fog rising from the squares on the card, and then a Loch Ness Monster-like shadow slowly swam out.
Soon, its true form was revealed.
This isn't the Loch Ness Monster, but a turtle with a weirdly long neck.
On its upright neck, two rows of eyeballs extend from the face to the bottom of the neck, and it is impossible to count how many pairs of eyeballs there are.
The flesh exposed outside the shell shows obvious signs of being bitten and decayed.
【Deep Sea Turtle】
Balanced, 60 points, B
Attack 30, 150/150, 0/4
[Deep Sea Endurance - Passive]: Deep Sea Turtle's attack power -20, health +50
[Rotten Shell - Passive]: When the Deep Sea Turtle [Defends], the damage received is -5
[Poisonous Breath - Passive]: Deep Sea Turtle's attack power -10, each round can make 1 target gain 10 points of [Poison] effect, does not affect the action
This is an ocean card + a funeral beast card.
It has strong survivability and the ability to poison.
A high-scoring survival card makes one wonder what kind of card will be revealed behind it.
The answer can only be revealed in the next round.
As for Shi Li, he needs to reveal two cards in a row.
The first card he revealed was the regular card behind [Three-Eyed Spy].
[Ding ding ding! The system is operating normally...]
The projection is a small robot car, which is rectangular and flat in shape.
There is a solar panel on the top.
At the front of the car is something similar to a radio wave transmitter.
【A-39】
Listen to the wind, 0 points, B
Attack 0, 100/100, 1/3
[Pre-charge - Passive]: When A-39 is unveiled, gain 1 energy
[Repeat Cycle System - Passive]: When A-39 continuously restores energy to a target, the amount restored is doubled.
[Energy Recharge - 3 Energy]: A-39 restores 3 energy points for a card
The 0-point Listening to the Wind card, this card is also the ideal state for Listening to the Wind.
Then, comes his trump card.
