This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 361 - 333: An Absurd Turn of Events in the Card Game
"This... isn’t this the tactic I was supposed to use?"
After being stunned for a few seconds, Shi Zhen finally reacted.
Originally, her tactic was to trigger the effect of [Stone Race Crush] by killing her own cards when the situation was tense.
However, she didn’t expect that Li Pu also used it.
And he used it before she did.
This was something to be wary of, as the opponent’s [Mushroom Wolf] posed a threat to the [Rock General].
As long as it receives two mushroom card retire buffs within 2 turns, its attack can reach 11 points, enough to reach the [Rock General]’s slay line.
"In that case, I can only play along."
After figuring it out, Shi Zhen knew she had only one option left.
So she mimicked Li Pu’s strategy and chose to target her own [Rock Priest].
Fortunately, she still had a significant advantage on her side.
That is, she only needs to kill one of her cards to activate [Stone Race Crush].
In comparison, the opponent needs to kill two cards within 2 turns.
With that thought in mind, Shi Zhen entered the action phase with confidence.
Although due to the high defense of rock-type cards, even without [Defending], hitting her own cards was more like scratching.
However, it was fine since four cards beating up one card would finish it quickly.
The most critical part was not to attack Li Pu’s cards during this period, or it might become an accomplice of [Mushroom Wolf]’s buff stacking, giving it an opportunity.
[Mushroom, Mushroom, Mushroom!] xN
[Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock!] xN
Now that all regular cards were revealed, the 8 surviving card projections started moving, creating quite a chaotic and intense scene, appearing quite fierce.
But after both sides’ card projections finished this maneuver, the audience wasn’t buying it.
"What is this, both sides ended up with a bloodletting strategy?"
Bloodletting strategy refers to achieving tactical goals by sacrificing the life points of one’s own cards.
This strategy was already rare, and even more so with both sides using it.
"The formation opens up, but both sides are beating their own cards."
"The direction of this game is just absurd..."
"No matter how exciting it was, the weirdness was off the charts."
"It’s interesting yet not interesting to watch."
Both sides beating up their own cards would sound absurd to anyone.
However, in the next action round, an even more ridiculous scene unfolded.
[Heal you Mushroom~]
After all attacks ended, [Healing Mushroom] happily bounced up and fired a healing beam.
The beam crossed the allied formation, hitting the [Rock Priest] that Shi Zhen had focused on for two consecutive turns.
[Thank you, Rock!]
The rock priest raised its arms, displaying a green number.
+2
"Huh?!"
Shi Zhen was dumbfounded on the spot.
"You can’t be serious!"
Then she had a forlorn expression.
She had barely managed to get [Rock Priest] to half health, and it was healed in one go!
In fact, Li Pu had planned this all along. Since he could attack his own cards, why couldn’t he cast [Healing] on the opponent’s cards?
After all, according to the cubic card rules, this was permitted.
Though casting [Healing] on opponent’s cards was even rarer compared to attacking one’s own cards.
It’s generally used to counter bloodletting strategy and attack beast-type cards.
So Shi Zhen didn’t catch on for a while and didn’t expect that [Healing Mushroom] could be used this way.
The unexpected reversal reignited the audience’s excitement.
"This... is brilliant!"
"Two bloodletting strategies clashing and now resorting to healing the opponent?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"But to be fair, this move was really clever, completely reversing the situation."
"Yes, I originally thought Shi Zhen would win..."
Some audience members calculated the card standings quickly and got the result immediately.
Due to Li Pu’s [Healing] on [Rock Priest], the trigger for [Stone Race Crush] was delayed by a turn.
And just that delayed turn allowed Li Pu to kill two of his own cards within the allotted time.
As a result, [Mushroom Wolf] completed a +6 attack buff stack.
Continuing for another round, [Mushroom Wolf] could take out [Rock General], while Shi Zhen would rely on [Stone Race Crush] to instantly kill one of Li Pu’s cards.
However, no matter which card Li Pu lost, once [Rock General] was out, the victory or defeat would be clear.
Without [Rock General], Shi Zhen had no method to threaten Li Pu.
Her cards would be gradually defeated by his robust mushroom formation with lasting power.
The actual game development turned out exactly like this.
"I... I concede."
Finally, after losing several regular cards under the continuous gang-up of mushrooms, Shi Zhen admitted defeat.
Although neither side’s trump cards were revealed, she knew Li Pu had enough regular cards left. Even if her trump card got destroyed, the opponent’s trump card wouldn’t be revealed.
"Well played."
As the staff announced the result, Li Pu politely stepped down from the stage.
"This Mosaic, now really seems unfathomable."
"I’ve watched many of his matches, and I think he’s exceptionally lucky."
