Chapter 94 I Don’t Know How to Lose
The third round came, and this time neither side changed their cards.
"Don't be complacent. I'm here to send it away this round."
Palan's performance became more and more relaxed, after all, the advantage was mine.
He lifted up his hand and turned it over.
【Flame is the most beautiful thing! 】
On the card, a human-shaped projection wearing an old cloak and robe walked out from the fiery red light column.
The hood of her cloak was pulled low, so that her face could not be seen.
The flames covered the cloak and kept burning, but they never burned the cloth.
【Fire Witch】
Wisdom, 20 points, B
Attack 30, 80/80, 1/1
[Fire Amplification - Passive]: Fire Witch's HP -20, Attack Power +10
[Fire Affinity - Passive]: When the Fire Witch uses skills on a target with [Warm Up], the damage is doubled.
[Fire First Attack - 1 Energy]: During the turn when the Fire Witch reveals her card, she can cause 40 damage to a full-health target, and does not occupy the attack behavior.
But as judged before, the [Giant Zombie] on the opposite side must be eliminated as soon as possible.
The sooner you eliminate it, the sooner you can accumulate advantages.
So in this round, [Giant Zombie] must die.
Seeing this card, Shi Li couldn't help but secretly sigh that it was a good card.
Cards with attack power lower than the face value are often seen.
Because this is a common mechanism to balance the strength of cards.
But the balance of this card is compensated by reducing health points.
It is also a card whose attack power is higher than the face value, so it can be very effective in dealing damage when placed in the second row.
The most exaggerated thing is that this is a card that belongs to the strong attack flow at the beginning of the game.
Although the conditions are relatively harsh, the round of unveiling can cause 80+30 points of damage, which is really excessive.
Of course, he would not show these thoughts on his face.
"But if I were you, I wouldn't reveal this card now."
On the contrary, he also has to teach the other party a lesson.
"Because revealing it in this round is a pure waste of output."
"Combined with [Warm Up], this round your three [Fireman] + [Fire Knight] can knock down 95 health points while [Giant Zombie] is defending."
"You just need to add 5 more points of output."
"But now that I have [Fire Witch], her [Fire First Attack] can only be used on my next row of cards, otherwise it will be a waste."
"In order to get rid of the Giant Zombie this round, you can only use Warm Up on it."
"In disguise, it causes [Fire First Attack] to only deal 40 points of damage on the next row of cards. It loses 40 points for nothing."
"40 points is a big loss."
As he spoke, he looked at the other person and smiled faintly.
"It's such a simple truth, there's no way you don't know it."
"Then let me guess why you revealed this card first."
"First, it should be the two cards behind you (the last regular card + the trump card) that can also produce a card that cooperates with [Burning Land]."
"But your deck doesn't have enough depth, so there aren't many cards you can bring to the table. So the only one that can appear in this round is the [Fire Witch]."
"Then this card has high attack and low HP, so it is easy to become the target of others' concentrated fire, so it is not suitable to be the guardian card of the ace."
"Similarly, [Fire Knight] is too attractive to fire and is also not suitable."
(Guardian card, the last card in front of the trump card.)
"So, your trump card is placed in this column, right?"
As he spoke, Shi Li pointed to the column where the other party had not revealed the next row of cards.
"Ha ha ha ha."
However, Palan just smiled.
Because... because he has nothing to say!
This guy is so good at pretending, and he’s really good at pretending!
He was right about everything!
Did you use the perspective hack?!
At this moment, Shi Li uncovered his own cards.
[Squeak!]
I saw a huge pillar of fire exploding on the card, and a projection of a banshee appeared, with her lower body burning like a raging fire and her upper body made of flames in a human shape.
"In that case, I'll join in the fun and make the fire burn brighter."
Shi Li said this.
[Fire Demon] appears.
"ah?"
When Palan saw the face of the card, his mouth was a little open, and he finally couldn't help but lose his composure for the first time.
The whiteboard is not the key, the key is the score!
He knew that the opponent saved 30 points with the first row of cards.
At first, I was mentally prepared to face a 60-point big card.
The result...80 points?
Wouldn't that continue to squeeze the points of other cards?
He is so willing to do this, so cruel!
Both parties have unveiled their cards and are now entering the behavioral selection phase.
Shi Li’s choice is simple.
This round, everyone attacks.
[Giant Zombie] + [Fox-Headed Guardian] = 90 attack points
[Big Fire Monster] = 80 attack points
This round he will kill the opponent's 2 [Fireman] cards in one second.
As for whether [Fire Man] will [defend]?
He believed not.
Because he knew very well that the opponent had the advantage, he didn't dare to gamble.
I don't dare to bet whether my [Giant Zombie] will [Defend] or not in this round.
If you don't [defend], you will be easily killed by the concentrated fire.
But if [Defend], then Palan's four cards + [Warm-up] will cause (10+10)x3+10+35=105 damage.
If any card is missing, you will not be able to defeat the [Giant Zombie].
Now that I have revealed the [Big Fire Monster], the opponent cannot leave the [Giant Funeral Monster] behind.
Because if it stays for one more round, [Fire Demon] will have one more round of output opportunities.
This is an open conspiracy.
As for the [Fire Witch]'s [Fire First Attack], there is no need to worry about its actual timing.
Because he chose the [Fire Demon] as the target of [Natural Nourishment]'s [treatment].
If you hit me 40 points, I will immediately recover 50 points.
The extra 10 points are just for you to buy candy.
What?
The target you chose to release is [Fox-Head Guard Officer]?
It’s okay, as long as I can keep my 80-point card.
So next, the cards on both sides began to act.
Since all actions this round are damaging attacks and no buffs/debuffs, all have the same priority.
This makes the battle scene look a bit chaotic.
But the commotion caused by the Fire Witch is still very eye-catching.
[Flames are beautiful! ]
She raised her hands, and a fiery red light burst out from her palms.
Boom!
Then a huge pillar of fire like thunder came down and hit the fire monster on the head.
-40
Although it is made of flames, it still has to bear this damage.
After all, the Cube Cards are not talking nonsense, and there is no saying that fire creatures are immune to fire.
Even a zombie can receive treatment and enjoy the holy light at the card table.
call out!
+50
Finally, the green light fell down, and the fire monster was not hurt at all.
So after this round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
【Cover】【Witch】【Knight】
【Vacant】【Pyro 80】【Vacant】
VS
【Fox Head】【Fire Demon】【Cover】
It is worth noting that after this round, the energy of [Fire Knight] has recovered to 2/4, and the attack power has accumulated to 40 points.
In general, Palan is equivalent to exchanging 220 blood for 200 blood, and exchanging two cards for three cards.
Still an advantage.
In this round, Palan directly unveiled the card.
【The flames will devour everything you have! 】
A projection of a sturdy fire elemental spirit emerged from the card.
[Soft Fire Element]
Break, 30 points, B
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/6
[Soft Body Structure - Passive]: Soft Fire Element cannot [Defend], but the damage when attacked is -10
[Active Fire Factor - Passive]: The normal attack of the soft fire element is divided into three stages, each with 10 points
[Flame Healing - 4 Energy]: Soft Fire Element attacks the target three times and causes a Fire Card to gain 20 [Healing] points.
Attack milk, this is another attack milk that Shi Li saw after [Deteriorated Goose King].
The key is that it is even more rogue than [Deteriorated Goose King], and can actually release healing while attacking.
"This card from the Breaking Power series is actually a survival card. This card is pretty good."
"It seems your trump card is hidden behind it."
Shi Li said that he praised her, but his expression didn't change at all.
Because the corresponding countermeasure cards have actually been prepared from the beginning.
No, it should be said that it was decided when I saw the Flame Scene Card + Flame Fire Card on the opposite side.
"Do you remember what I said before? A serious homogeneity of decks can certainly achieve various linkage effects very well."
“But at the same time, it is also easy to be targeted by opponents.”
I saw him with one hand behind his back and snapping his fingers with the other.
bite!
The cards are revealed.
【Squeak! 】
A projection of a little demon with short stature, skinny limbs, white skin and a bald head crawled out from the card.
"Hiss! This card!"
Palan took a closer look and his expression changed drastically.
【Little Ice Monster】
Rage, 15 points, C
Attack 5, 100/100
[Frostbite - Passive]: After the Little Ice Monster reveals his card, he and one card on his left and right sides will have their attack power reduced by 10
[Ice Monster Secret Technique - 100% Current HP]: The Ice Monster [Freezes] 1 target for 1 turn. If the opponent is a Fire card, [Freezes] 1 additional target for 1 turn.
(【Freeze】: Forced to stand still, but immediately thawed when attacked)
This card, like [Fire Monster], comes from the copy [Monster Exorcist].
The effect of [Freeze] is somewhat similar to [Stun].
But the difference is that it can be lifted early.
For example, normal attacks, or attack skills with debuffs.
The optimal solution is actually to use an attack skill that comes with a debuff.
Because of the attached debuff, this attack has a high priority. After helping teammates to thaw, teammates can still perform low-priority actions such as [attack] or [heal].
At that time, Shi Lizhi chose this card because he liked the [Freeze] effect.
Fire cards themselves are a type of card that is commonly used because of their generally strong output capabilities.
Of course, the main purpose of keeping this card is to serve as material, and to see if I can make a better freeze control card in the future.
After all, the negative effect of this card is quite large. At worst, it can permanently reduce the attack power of your own cards by 30 in this game.
Moreover, it is a violent system with 100% current health. Basically, [Little Ice Monster] will freeze people as soon as it reveals its card, leaving them no chance to attack.
That's equivalent to spending 15 points to buy a spell card.
As for now, at this moment and in this situation, we can only say that Palan's deck has really run into trouble.
Shi Li completed several copies and selected so many cards on his own.
I finally waited for the first time, when I could directly take out the targeted cards from my own deck without knowing the opponent's deck in advance.
This feeling is really refreshing.
After both parties unveiled their plaques, the next step was to confirm the action.
【Squeak! 】
First , the little ice monster rushed to the front of the formation and spit towards the opposite side.
Crash!
The saliva gushed out like a waterfall, soaking the Fire Knight and the Fire Man to the bone. The flames on their bodies were all extinguished, and they turned into ice sculptures.
(Freeze), (Freeze)
"I'll go."
Palan didn't expect that this card would make such a loud noise when it released its skill.
This little ice monster looks thin, who could have expected that there would be so much saliva in its body?
The current situation is that [Fire Knight] has been frozen for 1 round and Fire Man has been frozen for 1 round.
So there was no doubt about what happened next.
【arrest!】
[Squeak!]
-30, -70
[Fire Knight] was killed instantly by the concentrated fire of [Fox-Head Guard] + [Fire Demon].
【Flame, the most beautiful! 】
【Flame, devour! 】
-30, -10, -10, -10
[Soft Fire Element] + [Fire Witch] focused their fire on [Fire Demon].
The last ray of green light fell and sprinkled on the [Fire Demon], with a 25-point [Healing] effect.
After this round, the cards of both sides are as follows:
[Soft Fire][Witch][Vacant]
【Vacant】【Pyro 80】【Vacant】
VS
【Fox Head】【Vacant Position】【Fire Demon 65】
In the next round, Shi Li still chose to let the [Fire Demon] [defend].
[Fox-Headed Guardian] attacks [Soft Fire Elemental], knocking away 20 points of its health.
[Soft Fire Elemental] + [Fire Witch] + [Fire Man] destroyed [Fire Elemental] 15 + 15 + 15 + 10 (true damage) = 55 health points.
[Fire Demon] gained another 25 points of [Healing].
The cards of both parties are as follows:
[Soft Fire 80] [Witch] [Vacant]
【Vacant】【Pyro 80】【Vacant】
VS
【Fox Head】【Vacant Position】【Fire Demon 35】
At this point, Palan will not leave any chance for his opponent.
Completely put aside those things like you predicted my predictions, and I predicted your predictions of mine.
In this round, he must get rid of the opponent's strongest output card no matter what.
Theoretically, as long as you play all three cards, even if the opponent adopts [Defense] in this round, [Fire Monster] will definitely be defeated.
Even if it's one for one, it's completely acceptable.
If you use those convoluted ways of thinking, you will easily get yourself into trouble.
Since the cards are still in your favor, just go for it.
So what if it's one for one? After defeating the [Fire Monster], I still have a clear advantage of two cards against one.
What's more, he had calculated that the opponent's ace had a maximum of 25 points, so what was there to worry about?
So the script on the poker table continued to develop in the direction that Palan wanted.
[Arrest you! ]
【Squeak! 】
-30, -70
[Fox-Headed Guardian] + [Fire Monster] focus their fire on [Fire Man], causing 100 points of damage, with an overflow of 20 points.
【Flame, the most beautiful! 】
【Flame, devour! 】
【roar!】
Not to mention Palan, who suffered 65 points of excess damage, an absolute saturation kill.
At the end of this round, both sides only have three full-health cards left: [Fox-Head Guardian], [Fire Witch], and [Soft Fire Elemental].
"hehe."
Faced with such a situation, Palan smiled unexpectedly.
Of course, his laughter was not without reason.
[Fox-Headed Guardian] 100 HP, 30 attack power, and 25 healing points per round.
The opponent's [Soft Fire Element] with 60 attack power, 180 health points and healing ability has been warmed up.
The following situation becomes simple for oneself but unsolvable for the opponent.
"Don't you see the current situation clearly?"
He was confident of victory, shook his finger and said , "You have no chance."
"Two cards against one card, I still have healing + healing reduction in hand."
"Just ask how you play."
After he was sure that he was going to win, he became more relaxed than before and started talking more.
"The moth man in the last round was a little bit stronger than you. In the end, we fought each other with trump cards, and I won by 100 blood points."
"But considering that you are only a Level 6 player, being able to achieve this is already a great compliment."
As he was talking, this guy actually started clapping.
“…”
Shi Li did not respond this time because he actually had a question in his mind.
A question that has nothing to do with the poker table.
Next, continue the operation on both sides.
The final result was that when the game reached the 8th round, [Fox-headed Guard] was killed.
The [Soft Fire Elemental] is at full health, with 3/6 energy, and the [Fire Witch] has 45 points of health left.
"I don't know how I can lose when I play three cards against one."
There are only two words that exude from Palan: confidence.
When the unveiling phase of the 9th round arrived, Shi Li had no choice but to reveal the trump card.
However, after he placed his hand on the ace, he did not turn it over.
"There is a problem that I have never understood."
"This is the first time I've met a real Right Heart person, so I wanted to ask you."
That's what he said.
“…”
Palan looked at Shi Li, then at his cards: "Okay, go ahead and ask."
"Is the purpose of the Right Heart Faction purely to destroy the original world of the Left Heart?"
Given that the Left-heart faction has a bad reputation in the Right-heart world, he had actually asked Rhodes and Atuba this question before.
But Rhode was such a hot-blooded guy that he thought those who were not of the same race must have different hearts, so I couldn't get any information out of him.
Uncle Tu had a look of disdain on his face, as if he didn't want to mention it.
He took other people's money and looked down on them. In this respect, he was even more extreme than Rhodes.
Anyway, he didn't get the answer, so he wanted to see if Palan had any.
I don't mean anything else, it's just curiosity.
"Who told you that we are here to cause trouble?"
Palan frowned, obviously dissatisfied with this statement: "Because strictly speaking, the deterioration disease does not have much impact on the living environment of this world."
"But you killed a lot of people."
Point it out immediately.
“…I don’t deny that.”
Unexpectedly, Palan admitted it generously, and even revealed a hint of guilt between his brows, but it disappeared in a flash.
"As for the purpose..."
Speaking of this topic, his gaze gradually drifted away, and his thoughts followed suit.
“…”
Seeing the other party's expression, Shi Li suddenly felt something.
Could it be ... this is the legendary memory killing?
