After preparing for transmigration, Xia Yuan, a top player of storyline mages in his previous life, transmigrated into an NPC, and was even the fourth son of the newly born Duke of the Empire!
<...Chapter 331 Wow! Good fight!
March 2, evening.
Tomorrow is the third day of the first sprout month, which is also the traditional first sprout festival in Gloria.
In the ancient folk calendar of the empire, this is the first day of spring, a festival that symbolizes the revival of all things and the beginning of a new year's farming.
On this day, people get up early in the morning to collect the first green and dewy branches of the Mangur willow and weave them into vibrant crowns.
Then, people would wear these crowns and dance around the fire to celebrate the sun's warming of the earth again and pray for good weather and a good harvest in the next six months.
The triennial Pamir College Competition officially began on this day.
This is an important night. Most students are preparing silently, hoping to get a good ranking in the competition and thereby attract the attention of the empire's top brass and top powerhouses.
And Avis was playing arcane cards with Fiona, who came to play with him.
In the living room of the residence, the girl was holding a handful of cards with a smile on her face, curled up softly on the sofa.
The seductive legs wrapped in white lace stockings were tilted and close together, and the crystal clear and lovely toes moved restlessly, as if victory was already in their grasp.
The little flying dragon Fia was shrunk by secret magic to a size only slightly larger than Kate. At this moment, she was lying obediently beside the girl, immersed in the world of "Fiona's Adventures in Wonderland" with Kate.
In fact, Avis was very skeptical about what Fiona could learn in the Summoning Academy.
After half a year of study, the girl's magic level has not improved much. However, under the influence of her classmates, the noble ladies, her skills in playing arcane cards have improved a lot.
I can now fight Avis on equal terms.
However, everything recorded on the secret cards of this world is real.
The process of playing cards is also a process of becoming familiar with and understanding the characteristics and weaknesses of various powerful beings. Especially since Fiona is from the summoning school, she needs to understand this knowledge even more, so Avis can't say anything.
"Activate the Mystic Card [Lost Altar], sacrifice a specific combination of sacrifices [Alchemist], [Giant Armor], [Heart of the Furnace], and Special Summon [Ancient Secret Machine - Furnace Titan]!"
At this time, Fiona, who had learned how to play the new deck, hurried to find Avis, intending to take advantage of the fact that Avis was not familiar with the card effects and severely abuse her.
With a flash of light, a terrifying bronze-colored mechanical titan with red eyes, along with three alchemy soldiers less than one-third of its height, suddenly slammed onto the chessboard, stirring up a cloud of illusory dust.
The blazing red furnace light lit up on its chest, and the cold mechanical arm swung violently.
In contrast, all of Fiona's spell cards on the field and the three cards in Avis' hand suddenly turned into ashes.
"Not bad!"
Avis looked at Fiona's field with some surprise. The terrifying mechanical Titan with an oppressive appearance was in sight.
That is the latest collector's edition gold card launched by the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce. It has ten health points and nine attacks. It can destroy three cards in the opponent's hand each round, and will clear all spell cards on its own field during the summoning round.
The Crucible Titan was originally discovered in a dilapidated ruin in Mobisar, and was later confirmed to be a supreme secret machine of an ancient lost civilization.
Not all ancient civilizations were powerful. On the contrary, the vast majority of lost ancient civilizations did not even have ninth-order combat power, and the number of individual civilizations was only tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
That civilization seemed to have a crazy worship of Titans. They gathered the strength of the entire clan, built a huge mechanical Titan, and installed a mysterious magic source called the [Furnace Core] on it.
Then, the mechanical Titan went out of control for unknown reasons, directly destroying the capital of that civilization, and eventually stopped operating due to energy exhaustion.
The wizard who excavated the ruins obtained the core technology of the furnace from the wreckage, and packaged the wreckage and sold it to the Aslade family at a high price.
At this moment, the girl looked at Avis triumphantly, as if she had already seen the scene of Avis shaking his head helplessly and admitting defeat with a wry smile.
On Avis's field, there was only a Cultist Night Watcher with two life and three attacks, as well as two covered Mystic cards, and only one card left in his hand.
The Crucible Titan had an attack of nine, plus three Alchemy Soldiers with four health and three attacks. She couldn't figure out how Avis would survive the next round.
The two had already agreed that whoever lost would agree to a reasonable request from the other party.
Hehehe, when the time comes, what request will the smart and lovely Miss Fiona make?
Should I ask my brother to tell me a new story, or ask him to call me sister when no one is around? Oh, it would be nice if I could have a few more requests.
With her pink lips pouting cutely, the girl has begun to bend her white fingers.
Looking at the girl who was already imagining what to do after winning, Avis suddenly smiled and dropped the only card in his hand.
"Activate the arcane card [Forbidden Ritual] to exchange life and mana. Then activate the spell card [Time Standstill]."
As the card effect took effect, Avis's two mana points and seventeen life points were instantly exchanged, and the blue light of the life crystal dropped to a precarious level.
Then, an hourglass shadow flashed by, and the twelve points of mana disappeared in an instant.
The projections of the three alchemist soldiers on the field suddenly turned into a pitch-black mass. They were unable to attack for a round and could not be targeted by any card effects.
The projection of the Crucible Titan flickered for only a moment before stabilizing again. Since the card's health reached ten, it was directly exempted from the spell's effect.
"Activate the Mystic Card [Blood Sacrifice], sacrifice [Secret Night Watcher]. Special Summon [Mind Control Priest]."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
From the deck, a card lit up slightly, and a shadowy figure wearing a dark red hooded robe appeared in the Avis field.
When the girl saw the summoned creature, her expression suddenly froze, and an extremely bad guess flashed through her mind like lightning.
Mind Control Priest Effect: When the number of summons on the enemy field is four or more, gain control of one of them at random.
"The summon is great. How about lending it to me to play with? The old gods will thank you—"
With a smile that couldn't be more fake, Avis activated the effect of mind-controlling the priest.
Since the three alchemist soldiers could not be selected, there was only one optional target left on the field.
"Wow...Forge Titan!"
A ray of light flashed, and the terrifying Titan shadow on the girl's field instantly moved to Anvis' field.
There is nothing much to say about the following plot. The girl wanted to forcibly withstand the attack and kill the last bit of Avis's blood. However, she failed, and Avis stole another card.
In the end, the girl's dying struggle failed, her health points dropped to zero, and her mentality exploded.
"Okay, don't be angry, you actually played well in this game."
After sorting out the card game, Avis gave a perfunctory word of comfort.
“Woo——”
Hearing this insincere consolation, the girl's tender cheeks puffed up, her light golden hair began to glitter, and her big lake blue eyes stared at Avis fiercely, as if she wanted to bite him to death.
So, Avis skillfully took out a faintly glowing crystal ball and placed it next to it.
The upgraded version of the resentment crystal ball has an absorption speed and capacity six times that of the old version! After seeing this crystal ball, Fiona's resentment became stronger again, so the crystal ball became brighter, almost as bright as her hair.
