Chapter 301: Second Half
Fifth round!
Draw cards and play cards.
Looking at the three cards in her hand, Kana fell into deep thought.
Ten seconds later...
"Activate [Card Master]!"
The three discarded cards are two [Attack] cards and one [Storm Attack]. These attack cards are of no use to Kana now.
I drew the cards again. This time the cards looked much better: [Recovery] [Absorb] [Philosopher's Stone]
[Absorb: Gain 1 mana from a character. If the character's mana is 0, the blood-sucking effect will be triggered.]
[Philosopher's Stone: Restore one point of mana at the start of a round, and restore 1 point of health when this item is lost]
"Huh..." Seeing these two BUG -level prop cards, Kana finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It was a close call. If I can win this game today, maybe I'll have used up all my luck for next year!"
Three cards were used one after another. [Restore] chose life, and the target of [Absorb] was naturally Kira. Then the [Philosopher's Stone] was placed in the prop column, and the sword hanging over his head was finally removed.
"Lucy, it's up to you!"
"Leave it to me!" Lucy forced a smile, but the three of them saw that cold sweat was breaking out on her forehead.
Cana's face darkened, and she thought, 'I guess Lucy must have had a hard time too... I'm sorry, it's all because of me...'
“Is it that hot in here?”
Kira looked up at the top of the passage, then turned around and looked around. He stretched out his hand to feel the air and said in confusion, "It seems that there is nothing ..."
Kana: “…”
Lucy: “…”
"This guy must have done this on purpose..."
"Hmm! I see..."
After a brief interruption from Kira, Lucy calmed down again. The round began, and 1 magic point was deducted from the existing celestial spirits.
"Change the skill of [Spirit Driver] to [Mistergang: Kagura]!"
Lucy's choice was just as Kira expected. She still planned to use a one-for-one approach to delay the game for a round.
After drawing cards again, the magic power and cards in hand are now 3 and 2 respectively.
Even with 3 [Mischief] cards, she still couldn't keep the cards in her hand, and most importantly, her 1 health point put her at great risk of death.
"Let's take a gamble!"
Lucy felt that the stakes she made in those ten minutes were more numerous and more difficult than any she had made in the past year.
"Activate [Star Summon]!"
Consume a little magic again and summon a Celestial Spirit! With shining golden light, another new character card flew out and landed on Lucy's character card.
【Character: Natsu】
[Life: 5]
[Magic: 5]
【Skill:
Fire Dragon Slayer: A locked skill. When you receive fire damage, you will be prevented from receiving damage and recover a corresponding amount of magic power. You cannot use "transportation"; all damage you cause is considered fire attribute.
Fire Dragon Secret Technique: Choose another character and activate one of the following effects: 1. Make it gain Burning *2; 2. Deal 2 points of Fire damage to it.
Fire Mode: Limited Skill, Increases HP and MP by 1, Restores HP and MP by 1, Increases the damage you cause this round by 1
Dragon Power: Awakening skill. When you are dying, other characters can transfer all their magic power to you (your magic power is unlimited at this time), and then you will recover to full vitality until the end of the next round, and the damage you cause will be +1. 】
"Select [Natsu: Fire Dragon Secret Technique] from [Spirit Drive]!"
"Activate the Celestial Spirit skill [Natsu: Fire Dragon Secret], target Kira, and deal 2 points of fire damage to him; activate the Celestial Spirit skill [Mistgun: Kagura], target Kira!"
The use of [Mikagura] again puts Lucy and Kira in a 1-for-1 situation again. Both of them increase their magic power by one and their hand cards by three.
Lucy mustered up her courage and declared war on Kira: "The attack is coming, Kira!"
"Oh? You're so arrogant? I guess I have to teach you a lesson!"
With six cards in his hand, three of which could be used as [attack] and [defense], Kira was fearless.
"Use the item [magic wand]!"
[Magic Wand: The magic card you use, cost -1]
"Use [Amnesiac] on Kira!"
[Memory Eraser (1): Discard a card of a character]
Lucy used a magic card that had never been used on the field against Kira, discarding a [Defense] card in his hand. Due to the existence of the [Magic Wand], this magic card does not consume mana!
"attack!"
"defense!"
The following probing attack did not succeed, but it was just consuming the opponent's cards. Lucy didn't have much hope in the first place, so she was not frustrated.
"Activate the ability of the equipped [Magic Pen] to replace the [Illusion] on the trap card," Lucy regained a new card in her hand, "use [Recovery] to increase her health!"
The last card is [Defense], which Lucy cannot use because she has 3 [Mischief] cards in her hand, which takes up the hand limit. She can only discard this [Defense] card in the discard phase.
At the end of the round, [Astral Spirit Drive] is activated again: "Change to [Mistgang: Mirror Water], [Natsu: Fire Dragon Slayer]"
Kira's turn was skipped again, and the fifth round ended. The three players' information was:
【Kana:
Health: 2/4
Magic: 2/4
Hand: 0, [Mischief] *1
Item: [Philosopher's Stone]
Area: Firewall
Lucy: Turn over
Health: 2/4
Magic: 3/4
Hand: 0, [Mischief] *3
Equipment: [Magic Pen]
Props: [Magic Wand]
Area: [Mistergang: Mirror Water], [Natsu: Fire Dragon Slayer]]
【Kira:
Health: 3/8
Magic: 4/8
Hand: 4, [Defense] *1
Equipment: [Thunder Spear]
Props: [Magic Airship]
By now, the promised game is halfway through.
In the first round, both sides tested each other; in the second round, each showed their abilities, Cana and Lucy were suppressed by Kira and lost their magic power; in the third round, they relied on Lucy's luck to launch a counterattack and skipped half a round; but the two were suppressed again in the fourth round; in the fifth round, with the help of skills, the challenger was able to recuperate.
At this point, the assessment has entered the second half.
The [Prank] that Kira placed in the hands of the two people strictly controlled the number of cards that Cana and Lucy drew in this game. Like [Kagura] of [Mistgang], this skill is actually not so effective in a multiplayer melee, because once the number of [Prank] is dispersed, the effect that can be exerted will be relatively less.
Under the effect of the [Philosopher's Stone], Kana recovered 1 point of magic power at the beginning of the round, increasing it to 3 points, which was enough for her to use [Monster Summon] once, but she was actually very hesitant in her heart.
Kana knew that the health and skills of Warcraft were completely random, and she couldn't tell whether the Piranha Plant with 3 health points belonged to the more or less category.
If it was the former, then the 3 mana points used for the summon would be a waste; if it was the latter...
"Do you want to gamble? Can you gamble? Is it time to gamble on your luck in this situation?"
Cana glanced at Lucy and Kira's cards, her mind racing. 'Lucy only has 2 life points left, [Mirror Water] can only bounce back single-target magic, [Useless Color|Seduction] is too unstable, and she will be skipped a turn! There are too many powerful cards in this game. If I leave it alone at this moment...'
'It's a bet!'
After a few seconds of thinking, Kana made up her mind and drew a card from the deck. It was an [Attack] card.
"Change the cards!"
[Card Master] activated, and she got another card, which was [Defense]!
Kana's face fell instantly. This card was even worse than the one before! If she could still hit Kira with [Attack] to consume the cards in his hand, then [Defense] would have to be thrown away after the round!
"Summon the monster!"
She activated the [Monster Summon ] skill, and her 3 magic points were instantly consumed. A monster card flew out of the deck and was placed on Kana's character card.
[Pumpkin King (4): Deal 1 damage to all characters]
"pretty!"
After seeing this Warcraft card clearly, Kana's face lit up with joy, just like a single-draw player who draws a golden legendary.
But as [Drunkard] was triggered at the end of the round, Kana also experienced the sadness of discarding cards for the first time in this game.
