Chapter 398 , Left Cat And Right Cat Part 2

A 5-star magical spirit! summoned a 5-star magical spirit in the second round! Commentator tried to break the chilly atmosphere with a sufficiently loud voice.

After successfully summoning the [](灵魂送葬者), Tom Nixon picked another magic card.

He deliberately faced the magic card towards Dark, then rotated it back.

In front of the contestant platform, the huge card displayed by the magic projection also completed the flip.

Dark saw the magic card's face clearly because of this.

His heart suddenly sank.

Tom Nixon's act of showing the magic card was a very serious provocation, but that magic card indeed made him feel troubled.

It was an —[(二重死者的悲鸣)]!

▼

[Card name: Double Dead's Lament]

[Type: arcana force card]

[Effect: Searches for an undead-type after death and launches a counterattack against the killer.]

▲

It was a typical "Deathrattle" series arcana force card, and its use was limited to "considered dead" undead-type. It searched for the death of the undead-type and initiated a counterattack.

It was important to note the power of the "counterattack(反击)," but considering Tom included it in his deck, its power should be formidable.

This was probably a magic card that was similar to []'s [].

But generally, such types of magic cards were meant to be used as "traps(陷阱)"; otherwise, they could be easily avoided.

"Did Tom Nixon deliberately show this magic card out of arrogance? Or did he have another motive?"

...

During Dark's brief contemplation, the [Soul Reaper] and [] had already clashed. A clash between a 5-star and a 3-star magical spirit.

But with []'s blessing, Meowth's attack power rose to 2400 points, on par with [Soul Reaper]'s.

The [Soul Reaper]'s defense was only 1000, which was not much different from Meowth's 900 defense.

The two magical spirits, despite a two-star difference, were equally matched in the initial clash.

And the second round thus passed.

"Tick-tock."

As the third round began, Dark was still puzzled.

Tom Nixon, however, had already swiftly drawn his cards.

From Dark Demon's slow reaction to draw his card, Tom Nixon knew his "psychological tactics"(心理战术) had definitely worked.

"As a first-year, despite possessing relatively strong magic cards, he severely lacks dueling experience. Merely by deploying what appears to be a useful magic card, he becomes distracted and needlessly expends his mental energy."

Tom Nixon glanced at the two new magic cards he had drawn and immediately picked a magical spirit card for summoning.

Following that, a brand new magical spirit appeared in his blue summoning zone.

It was a lion with blood-red skin, with bat wings on its back and a single horn on its head!

▼

[Card name: (血翼狮王)]

[Type: spirit card]

[Level: ✪✪✪]

[Race: Bird & Beast-type]

[Attribute: Dark Type]

[Magic Power: 1300]

[Attack: 1500]

[Defense:1400]

[Ultimate: Blood Rage(血怒)]

▲

It was a 3-star blue card with only one ultimate, similar to [Troll] - a standard 3-star.

But the [Bloodwing Lion King], with wings on its back, could soar into the sky and chase down the magic ball!

The newly summoned [Bloodwing Lion King] immediately rushed towards the red summoning zone, completely ignoring Meowth locked in combat with the [Soul Reaper].

Only a single magical spirit was present to defend the red summoning zone at that moment.

But that magical spirit's slow speed had been thoroughly exposed in previous matches.

Tom was very aware that as long as the [Bloodwing Lion King] bypassed it without confronting it—even if it was hit by an ultimate, it wouldn't suffer any damages as long as it kept at a safe distance.

Once Dark Demon felt threatened and used magic energy to remotely control the magic ball to fly into the sky, then the [Bloodwing Lion King] could pursue the magical ball continuously without giving him any chance to catch his breath, until its victory was secured.

...

It was a very clear path to victory, assuming Dark did not respond accordingly.

...

On the red contestant platform, although Dark was a beat slower, he still drew two new magic cards.

▼

[]

▲

The appearance of these two magic cards instantly made Dark calm down.

The appearance of [Curse Cage: DemiDevimon] meant he could now use the [Lust III(极乐Ⅲ)] he drew at the beginning to summon the long-lost [].

Then, he only needed to draw [Gatomon] and [Fusion] to have the chance to summon his ultimate trump card—[Bastemon]!

And the appearance of [Miltank] meant he could immediately perform a tribute summoning for the second-tier steel fortress—[Miltank], although [Miltank] was rarely used in formal duels and thus not well-noticed.

But even if Miltank gave up the hard-to-utilize [Rollout(滚动)], it still possessed a super defensive ultimate—[Defense Curl(变圆)] that could last a very long time!

Once [Defense Curl] was activated, Miltank's defense could jump from 2000 to 3000 points, meaning it could ignore the normal attacks(平A) of magical spirits below the third tier.

Even if the opponent used a powerful ultimate to reduce its health, its full 2000 magic points and the ultimate [Milk Drink] that could restore half of the magic power could keep it standing.

Combined with the "magician" Shuckle, the safety of the magic ball would basically be secured.

"There are two points one needs to pay attention to in magic duels—attack and defense!"

"When encountering resistance during an attack, one should focus on building defense first!"

Dark's eyes sharpened, and he immediately began to summon [Curse Cage: DemiDevimon].

By the time the [Bloodwing Lion King] crossed the middle of the field, Dark had already summoned DemiDevimon.

...

Upon seeing the appearance of DemiDevimon, Tom Nixon's lips twitched, and he immediately changed his strategy: "Bloodwing Lion King, attack that little demon!"

Anyone who had watched Dark's matches would definitely have a deep impression of DemiDevimon's "evolution."

It just happened that [Bloodwing Lion King] had just crossed half of the field, so maybe it could kill DemiDevimon before the "evolution"!

After receiving the new order, the [Bloodwing Lion King] immediately spread the blood-red bat wings on its back, stepped on the empty air with its forelegs, and soared upwards.

"Blood Rage!"

Tom Nixon still felt it was not enough and calmly issued a second command.

[Bloodwing Lion King] immediately used its only ultimate. Blood oozed out from under its skin, and a crazy aura erupted.

Then, its flying speed suddenly skyrocketed!

...

The audience, who could see the player’s magic cards, immediately noticed that [Bloodwing Lion King]'s magic energy was dropping rapidly, and they quickly understood the nature of the ultimate [Blood Rage].

It was an ultimate that consumed the users' health to make them stronger.

Such "suicide" type ultimates generally offered a higher enhancement effect than ordinary enhancement-type ultimates.

The enhancement effect of [Bloodwing Lion King] was very significant.

The newly summoned DemiDevimon looked utterly perplexed when it found itself face to face with a blood-dreched lion hurtling towards it.

It instinctively turned its head to seek for help.

But all it received was its master's overly serious gaze.

"Okay..."

DemiDevimon instantly realized it had to rely on itself from now on.

So, without a moment's hesitation, it swiftly dove downwards, going against the norm!

Because below, it had its most reliable family member—[Shuckle]!

...

"Help, help, help, help, help, help!"

After screaming "help" countless times in its heart, DemiDevimon flew near Shuckle just before [Bloodwing Lion King] could bite its tail.

The already prepared Shuckle's eyes suddenly glowed with the light of psychic power.

Ultimate—[Guard Split]!

DemiDevimon's defense value, from the pitiful 100 points, soared to 1150 points!

Ultimate—[Power Split]!

[Bloodwing Lion King]'s attack value, from 1500 points, dropped to 750 points.

Even with [Blood Rage]'s enhancement, its attempted bite on DemiDevimon's tail merely scratched the surface.

"Ｏ(≧口≦)Ｏ Ahhh!"

DemiDevimon, in its scream, accelerated again, escaping from the lion's jaws.

Whereas the [Bloodwing Lion King], as if it had bitten into steel, was startled by the sudden loss of strength and froze in mid-air for a moment.

Then, a pink light shone down.

[Bloodwing Lion King], affected by the afterglow, instantly turned red as blood surged within its body, causing a significant increase in bleeding.

While Tom Nixon was utterly astonished by this, DemiDevimon was finally enveloped by the light of [Lust III].

Instantly, the skull pattern on its forehead transformed into the symbol of [Lust], enveloping its entire body in a glowing pink light, as its life structure underwent a drastic change.

As the light dispersed and it descended from the air, it had turned into a cat with dark fur—[Black Gatomon]!

▼

[Card name: Black Gatomon]

[Type: spirit card]

[Level: ✪✪✪✪]

[Race: demon-type]

[Attribute: Dark]

[Magic Power: 1500]

[Attack: 1900]

[Defense: 900]

[Ultimate: Cat Punch, Dangerous Love]

▲

Black Gatomon, upon landing, immediately let out a roar incongruent with [Lust]. It then leaped from the ground into mid-air, grabbed [Bloodwing Lion King]'s wings, and got on its back.

Driven by a strong desire for revenge, it unleashed a deadly claw strike at [Bloodwing Lion King], who had bitten it.

Possessing claws as powerful as Gatomon's, Black Gatomon boasted an attack power of up to 1900, even without the blessing of the Holy Ring, inflicting heavy damages on [Bloodwing Lion King].

"Owwoooo!"

Unable to reach its back, [Bloodwing Lion King] howled in pain, and was eventually clawed to death by Black Gatomon!

As it turned into light the moment it died, Tom Nixon's face imperceptibly stiffened.

...

"Tick-tock."

[Battle Phase(4)][30s]

...

"In the name of Tom Nixon, magic summon!"

At the instant of the round change, Tom Nixon completed another magic summoning.

This was also a tactic.

Summoning at this point could effectively disrupt the opponent's rhythm.

Tom Nixon was not intentionally doing this.

The death of [Bloodwing Lion King] put him in a bit of a predicament since he no longer had first-tier magical spirit cards for a normal summoning.

If he still could not draw a new first-tier magical spirit card in this fourth round, it would become difficult for him to perform well afterwards.

But for now, he had no time to worry about that.

After killing [Bloodwing Lion King], Black Gatomon immediately rushed towards the blue summoning zone.

If it managed to group up with Meowth, his [Soul Reaper] would likely be at a disadvantage.

He had to inflict effective damage on that sword-wielding Meowth before Black Gatomon arrived.

Therefore, Tom Nixon activated the magic spell card he had been holding back—[Mysterious Serpent(诡秘之蛇)]!

In an instant, emerging from the black light emanating from the magic card in his hand, a mysterious serpent, resembling black mist, swarmed forth, descending from a height of five meters to fiercely assail Meowth, locked in intense combat with [Soul Reaper].

The two magical spirits had already used their ultimates during their intense clash.

Meowth had attempted to use its ultimate [Thief] to steal the [Soul Reaper]'s scythe but failed.

[Soul Reaper]'s scythe was actually part of its body, so it could not be stolen.

So, Meowth's [Thief] only managed to take away the worn black robe, which was now discarded on the ground.

Without its robe, [Soul Reaper]'s entire skeletal body was exposed, inside and out, to the audience's view.

Under Tom Nixon's intermittent command, it used its ultimate—[Scythe of the Dead], endowing its scythe with a "spiritual shock(精神震慑)" effect.

Once struck by the scythe enhanced with [Scythe of the Dead(死者之镰)], the opponent would feel as if they'd descended into hell, their spirit shaken, overwhelmed by fear and despair.

However, Meowth's ultimate, "Technician," granted it extra dexterity when using items, elevating its swordplay skills far above those of the Soul Reaper. Throughout the battle, not even once was it struck by the Soul Reaper’s attacks.

[Honedge], despite suffering from [Corpse Decay Curse(尸腐诅咒)], was still able to block [Scythe of the Dead]'s effect, ensuring Meowth remained unharmed.

But this time, [Mysterious Serpent]'s appearance broke the balance.

More than ten serpents formed from black mist swarmed rapidly, terrifying Meowth into deflecting the scythe with one sword swing and then retreating hastily.

However, [Mysterious Serpent] moved incredibly fast, with one managing to bite Meowth's right shoulder, causing a patch of darkness to seep out.

Then, the surrounding neural tissues suddenly went out of control.

Its right arm, clutching the sword, started to tremble uncontrollably, its fingers losing all grip, causing Honedge to slip from its grasp.

Meowth's expression drastically changed, but its reaction was also extremely quick, immediately using its left hand to catch the sword and parrying the slashing scythe in one fluid motion.

If it were any other spirits, the strength in their non-dominant hand would definitely be weaker.

But not for Meowth.

Capable of drawing circles with its left hand and squares with its right, Meowth still adeptly wielded the holy sword.

However, the mysterious serpents that fell to the ground did not dissipate but instead crawled towards its feet, wildly biting at its feet!

"Meow, meow, meow!"

Meowth stomped its feet repeatedly, trying to escape, but being entangled by [Soul Reaper], one of its toes was still bitten in the process.

Its face instantly turned pale, realizing its fate.

The chance to shine was about to slip away from its fingertips.
