Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 325 - 100 Wow! Well played!
Chapter 325: Chapter 100 Wow! Well played!
March 2nd, evening.
Tomorrow is the third day of the Budding Month, which is also the traditional Budding Festival of Gloria.
In the old calendar used by the common people of the Empire, this is the first day of spring, symbolizing the revival of all things and the start of a new year’s farming.
On this day, people would get up early in the morning, collect the tender mangur willow branches that are the first to show signs of life and still dewy, and weave them into vibrant crowns.
After that, people would wear these crowns, dance around bonfires to celebrate the sun’s return to warming the earth, and pray for favorable weather and a bountiful harvest in the upcoming year.
The triennial grand competition of Pamir Academy also officially starts on this day.
This is an important night, with most students silently preparing, hoping to achieve a good ranking in the competition and thereby attract the attention of the Empire’s higher echelons and top powerhouses.
Meanwhile, Anvis is playing Secret Magic Cards with Fiona, who has come to him for a game.
In the living room of his residence, the girl is holding a handful of cards, giggling and curling up on the sofa.
Her tempting legs, wrapped in white lace stockings, are inclined and closed together, with her crystal-clear and cute toes restlessly moving, as if she already has victory in the bag.
The little dragon Feiya has been shrunk by a secret technique to just slightly bigger than Kate, and is now lying obediently beside the girl, immersed in the world of "Fiona’s Dreamland" along with Kate.
In fact, Anvis has his doubts about what Fiona can really learn at the Summoning Academy.
After half a year of study, the girl’s magic level has barely improved; instead, under the influence of her noble classmates, her skill at playing Secret Magic Cards has significantly improved.
She can now play equally with Anvis.
However, since the things recorded on the Secret Magic Cards in this world all actually exist.
The process of playing cards is also the process of familiarizing oneself with and understanding the characteristics and weaknesses of various powerful entities, and especially since Fiona is from the Summoning School, she needs to know this information, hence Anvis doesn’t have much to say.
"Activate the Secret Technique Card ’Lost Altar’, sacrificially use a specific combination of offerings ’Alchemy Soldier’, ’Huge Armor’, ’Heart of the Furnace’, and specially summon ’Ancient Secret Device – Molten Furnace Titan’!"
At this moment, Fiona, who has learned the new card deck strategy, hurriedly comes to Anvis, planning to severely beat a newbie while Anvis is unfamiliar with the card effects.
A flash of light, and the ghastly shade of a Mechanical Titan with a bronze body and eyes emitting a red glow, along with three Alchemy Soldiers not even a third of its height, suddenly crashed onto the chessboard, stirring up a wave of illusory dust.
The fierce light of the furnace core shines on its chest, and its cold mechanical arm swings fiercely.
Opposite it, all the Magic Cards on Fiona’s field and the three cards in Anvis’s hand suddenly turn to ashes.
"Not bad at all!"
Anvis looks somewhat surprised at the terrifying Mechanical Titan on Fiona’s field, which exudes an oppressive aura.
That is the latest collector’s edition gold card released by the Golden Giant Dragon Commerce, with ten Life Value and nine Attack, able to destroy three cards from the opponent’s hand each turn, and on the summoning turn, will clear all Magic Cards on one’s own field.
The Molten Furnace Titan was originally excavated from a dilapidated ruin in Mobisar, and was later confirmed to be a supreme secret device of an ancient lost civilization.
Ancient civilizations are not all powerful; on the contrary, the majority of lost ancient civilizations actually do not even possess Ninth Rank combat strength, and the number of individuals in these civilizations is only in the tens to hundreds of thousands.
That civilization seems to have had a mad reverence for Titans, gathering the strength of their entire people to build a huge Mechanical Titan and equipping it with a mysterious magic power source called ’The Furnace Core’.
Afterwards, the Mechanical Titan went out of control for unknown reasons, directly destroyed the capital of that civilization, and eventually stopped functioning due to exhaustion of energy.
The Mage who excavated the ruins obtained the technology of the Furnace Core from the wreckage and sold the remains at a high price to the Aslade Family. freewēbnoveℓ.com
At this moment, the girl looks triumphant, as if she has already seen Anvis shaking his head in resignation, smiling bitterly in defeat.
Anvis’s field currently has only one Esoteric Night Watchman with two Life Value and three Attack, as well as two covered Secret Technique Cards, and he has only one card left in his hand.
The Molten Furnace Titan’s attack was as high as nine, and with three Alchemy Soldiers each with four life and three attack, she couldn’t see how Anvis could survive the next turn.
And the two had already agreed beforehand, whoever lost would have to grant the other a reasonable request—
Hehe, what kind of request should the smart and adorable Miss Fiona make then?
Should she ask her brother to tell another new story, or have him call her "big sis" when no one is around?
Ah, if only she could have more requests.
With her cute pout and delicate fingers counting, the young girl had already started to plan.
Watching the girl lost in her fantasies of victory, Anvis suddenly smiled and played his only card.
"Activate the Secret Technique Card[Forbidden Ceremony], switch life and mana values. Then cast the Magic Card[Time Freeze]."
As the card’s effect took place, Anvis’s two points of mana and seventeen life points instantly switched, and the glow from the Life Crystal dimmed to a dangerously low level.
Then, a silhouette of an hourglass swept over, and the twelve mana points vanished in an instant.
The projections of the three Alchemy Soldiers on the field immediately turned pitch black, unable to attack or be targeted by any card effects for a turn.
The projection of Molten Furnace Titan merely flickered before stabilizing again. Since it had a life total of ten, it was immune to the spell’s effect.
"Activate the Secret Technique Card[Blood Sacrifice], sacrifice the[Esoteric Night Watchman]. Special summon the[Mind Control Priest]."
From his deck, a card faintly lit up, and the phantom of a figure cloaked in dark red hooded robes appeared in Anvis’s field.
Seeing the summoned creature, the girl’s expression suddenly stalled, and a terrible guess flashed through her mind like lightning.
Mind Control Priest’s effect: When the number of enemy summoned creatures on the field is four or greater, randomly take control of one of them.
"Nice summons, how about I borrow it for a while? The Old Gods will thank you—"
With a smile faker than fake, Anvis activated the effect of the Mind Control Priest.
Since the three Alchemy Soldiers couldn’t be chosen, the only viable target left was the one remaining on the field.
"Wow... Molten Furnace Titan!"
A flash of light passed, and the fearful titan’s projection on the girl’s field instantaneously shifted to Anvis’s side.
What happened next was clear; the girl had intended to bear the attacks and snipe Anvis’s last bit of life. But she did not succeed; instead, she ended up letting Anvis steal another card.
In the end, the girl’s desperate struggle failed, her Life Value dropped to zero, and her mood exploded.
"Alright, don’t be angry, you actually played well this game."
Anvis nonchalantly uttered a perfunctory consolation while reorganizing the cards.
"Wuu—"
Hearing this utterly insincere consolation, the girl’s delicate cheeks puffed up like buns, her light golden hair began to twinkle, her lake-blue eyes stared fiercely at Anvis, looking like she wanted to bite him to death.
So Anvis skillfully took out a softly glowing Crystal Ball and placed it beside him.
Upgraded Resentment Crystal Ball, with an absorption speed and capacity six times that of the old version!
Upon seeing this Crystal Ball, Fiona’s resentment intensified further, and so the Crystal Ball shined even brighter, almost as bright as her hair—
