My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 305 - 292: Fairy Tale Fantasy, So Heartwarming

A notice board was placed on Chen Weiming's last magic slot.

"Activate the effect of [Announcement of the Evil Dragon Slaying]." Chen Weiming activated the effect of the magic card on the field, "When I have two or more [Fairy Tale] followers on my field, once per turn, I can choose a [Fairy Tale] follower card from my deck to add to my hand, and exempt the cost of my next normal summon of a [Fairy Tale] follower."

Chen Weiming unfolded his deck and added a [Fantasy Fairy Tale: The Hunter Who Points the Way] to his hand.

"I will perform a normal summon from my hand." Chen Weiming drew another card from his hand, "I will perform a normal summon from my hand, [Fantasy Fairy Tale: Witch with a Pointed Hat]."

"Activate the effect of the Witch with a Pointed Hat." Chen Weiming continued, "Once per turn, I can look at the top five cards of my deck and arrange them in any order."

After rearranging the order of his deck, Chen Weiming decisively ended his turn: "My turn ends."

Shen Sui looked at the nine cards on Chen Weiming's field. The star ratings were not very high, but no Life Card Master who could appear in this setting was simple.

"My turn." Shen Sui drew a card from his deck.

Didn't draw the Fish King... that's a bit troublesome.

Low-star, low-spirit value followers can be very weak at times, but overly strong at others.

Shen Sui was uncertain which category Chen Weiming's [Fantasy Fairy Tale] deck belonged to.

Fortunately, though there were nine cards on the field, none were set face-down.

Chen Weiming had no obligation to tell him the effects of these cards, but if Shen Sui asked, by the mutual understanding among Life Card Masters, he was obliged to reveal the card effects.

Of course, during matches, many renowned Life Card Masters do not interrupt to ask what a card does halfway through a game, to keep up their dignified image, which would diminish in the eyes of fans.

Thus, the more famous the Life Card Master, the stubbornly headstrong they become, leading to many stubbornly headstrong memorable scenes in world championships.

Due to these prideful players who refuse to ask about card effects, fewer Life Card Masters have been asking about effects during duels these years.

Therefore, pre-match information gathering has become increasingly important.

A person might not remember every effect of the opponent's cards, but they must always remember the effects of the opponent's terminal cards.

Another reason is that as the system of Life Card Duels becomes more perfected, everyone's narration time per turn is incredibly long, leaving no time to ask the opponent about card effects; rules do not prevent players from intentionally dragging time while explaining effects.

However, Shen Sui was not that stubborn.

"What's the effect of your Heroic Girl?" Shen Sui asked, internally criticizing the Life Card Duel system for being too trashy, for not allowing direct checking of the opponent's card faces.

Chen Weiming was caught off guard by Shen Sui's question, as he had intended to exploit this card's effect to trick Shen Sui.

The surrounding audience burst into laughter.

In fact, during private training with friends, they often asked about card effects just like this. However, seeing Shen Sui ask about effects publicly in a match was the first in recent years.

—Incidentally, because in the early days of Life Card Duel, a Great Power always lied about card effects to deceive opponents, there is a specific rule prohibiting such behavior.

"Ugh...." Chen Weiming said helplessly, "Once per turn, when you activate a card effect, I can return an equipment spell card of the Heroic Girl to my hand, negating that card's effect."

"Additionally, the Heroic Girl with an equipment spell card cannot be targeted by card effects and will not leave the field by card effects."

"As long as the Heroic Girl is on the field, neither side can declare attacks."

"When she loses all her equipment, the Heroic Girl will be sent to the graveyard."

Overall, it's quite a powerful card.

"Oh~!" Shen Sui nodded, then drew a hand card and said, "Then I'll start. Pay 4 Soul Points, activate from my hand, the spell card [Shining Debut]."

Shen Sui discarded a card from his hand.

Chen Weiming was taken aback. Was this guy really so headstrong?

Knowing the effect of his follower, he still goes ahead to activate such a crucial spell card.

He instinctively felt there was some conspiracy. But even knowing there was something amiss, Chen Weiming had no choice but to counter that card's effect.

Otherwise, if Shen Sui really summoned the core of his strategy, it would be troublesome.

"At this moment! Activate the effect of the Heroic Girl making her final debut, returning one of her equip spells to my hand." Chen Weiming directly returned the [Fantasy Fairy Tale: The King's Worried Daughter] from the magic area to his hand, "Negating the effect of your activated card."

"When you activate a card effect, activate the effect of [Elemental Life: Lava Fairy] from my hand!" Shen Sui directly discarded from his hand pit, "Negating your activated card's effect!"

"When you activate a card effect!" Chen Weiming directly drew [Fantasy Fairy Tale: The Hunter Who Points the Way] from his hand, "Activate the effect of my follower card from my hand, discard it to activate, negating your activated card's effect!"

Another counter?

Shen Sui chuckled. He activated [Shining Debut] for its cost; as for the effect, fooling the opponent into countering was a bonus.

As the chain ended, Shen Sui's [Shining Debut] effect was still negated. However, his purpose was achieved.

Because of the cost of this card, [Malicious Puppet Natasha] was sent to the graveyard.

"Activate the effect of the follower card [Malicious Puppet Natasha] I just discarded into the graveyard." Shen Sui directly activated the malicious puppet's effect, "By sending three puppet follower cards to the graveyard, activate a spell card from my deck."

Shen Sui sent [Substitute Puppet Jamie], [Lucky Puppet Shari], and [Bound Holy Artifact Puppet·Naphitaya] to the graveyard, then activated the spell card from his deck: [Thunder Strike].

"Activate the effect of [Thunder Strike], I pay half my life value to destroy both sides' magic areas."

Shen Sui directly wiped out the opponent's backfield.

Consequently, losing all her equipment, the Heroic Girl making her final debut sent herself to the graveyard with her effect.

"Then." Reopening the graveyard, "Activate the effect of [Substitute Puppet Jamie] in the graveyard, banishing it from the graveyard, choosing a multi-form follower card from my deck to add to my hand."

Is he going to choose Alice?

Chen Weiming recalled the intelligence obtained from that man regarding Shen Sui; the Soul Card Alice was undoubtedly the absolute core of his deck.

Shen Sui directly added [Star Abyss White Dragon: Qishala] to his hand from his deck.

Chen Weiming's heart immediately tightened.

There could only be one reason Shen Sui did this: he already had the means to summon [Star Abyss White Dragon: Qishala] in hand!

Am I going to lose again?

"Fairy tales are beautiful."

"Yet reality is cruel."

"Every child full of fantasy must face the moment of shattered illusions."

"Why not let them realize the world's cruelty in advance? Even your Soul Card understands this truth."

"A deck full of beautiful fantasies cannot survive in such a cold competitive environment."

"I understand your pain."

"We know everything."

"This card, I give to you."

"Destroy fantasy and fairy tales, and you will gain true power."

"We watch, we listen, we perceive."

"When you understand destruction, you will perceive everything."

...

Recalling the words of that black-clothed man that night, Chen Weiming once again looked at the [The Shattering of Beautiful Illusions] in his hand, his mind again sinking into contemplation.

Destroying fantasy and fairy tales.

Only then can one obtain true power.

Chen Weiming felt waves of dizziness.

He seemed to see an eye on that card slowly opening.
