Chapter 162: Gatomon, Appearing!
Hiss! Isn't Shuckle's attack 0?
Professor Jones had just been expecting this unique golden [Shuckle] to bring some surprises.
But now that the surprise had truly arrived, she was completely stunned!
Wasn't this surprise a bit too big?!
As is well known, [Shuckle] is a Magic Guide Spirit Card with 0 attack power.
Its defense power of up to 2200 was obtained at the cost of completely sacrificing its offensive capabilities and mobility.
Even a Gold Card, once known as a "God Card," couldn't change this!
And it's even less possible for it to have exploded Little Rock Dragon with a single punch!
"Then it's a problem with its Special Moves."
Professor Jones calmed down, immediately realizing the core of the problem.
In this world, [Shuckle] doesn't exist in reality; it's an ultra-rare Magic Guide Spirit that appears with an extremely
low probability in refinement experiments.
Moreover, most of the recorded [Shuckle] until now have been White Cards, with the rare few being at most
Blue Cards, possessing only one passive skill, [Sturdy].
Dark's golden [Shuckle] can truly be said to be one of a kind!
In other words, it possesses at least three unknown skills!
"What kind of Special Move could make a 3-star Magic Guide Spirit Card so exaggerated?"
Professor Jones was completely baffled.
...
Professor Jones was still surprised, let alone Doron on the field.
Both sides had summoned first-tier Magic Guide Spirits through normal summoning, so why would his Magic Guide Spirit be exploded with a single punch?
Doron looked at the [Little Rock Dragon] card, whose attack value had temporarily changed to 1050, and the entire
Magic Guide Card that had turned dim, and anxiety welled up in his heart.
[Little Rock Dragon] could be said to be his ace spirit; its attack value of up to 1800 points after using its Special Move
should have been unrivaled within the 3-star domain…
"What kind of monster is that [Shuckle]?"
As his mouth twitched, Doron noticed that the countdown for the first turn had ended, and the match entered the second turn.
He quickly drew two new Magic Guide Cards from the top of his deck.
His hand size thus became six.
Out of the six Magic Guide Cards, all but one [Magic Bullet Charm] were Magic Guide Spirit Cards!
Doron had no time to think further and quickly chose [Nut Dragon] for summoning!
...
[Card Name: Nut Dragon]
[Type: Spirit Card]
[Level: DDD]
[Race: Dragon Type]
[Attribute: Dragon Type/Grass Type]
[Magic Power: 1200]
[Attack: 900]
[Defense: 1300]
[Special Moves: None]
...
At this point, Doron no longer had the initial fervor. The [Nut Dragon] he chose in a panic was a small
dinosaur whose head was like a nut, with a defense power of up to 1300 points solely in its head, making it a defense-oriented Magic Guide
Spirit.
Once a strong offense failed, he would subconsciously seek stability.
Meanwhile, Dark also drew two new Magic Guide Cards.
He now had two more cards in hand: [Energy Potion] and [Gatomon]!
The moment the cards landed in his hand, Dark began a new round of summoning.
[Shuckle] ultimately only had the power for one punch.
After that one punch, the effect of the Special Move [Power Trick] had already disappeared.
[Power Split] lasted a bit longer.
Its attack power was still [750].
But with [Shuckle]'s movement speed, it couldn't reach the opponent's Magic Orb at all.
[Magic Beast: Eevee] could only serve to protect the orb.
This was also the biggest flaw in Dark's deck at the moment—the lack of powerful 3-star Magic Guide Spirits!
So, in the second turn, he used Sacrifice Summoning!
"As sacrifices, [Magic Beast: Eevee] and [Shuckle], I Sacrifice Summon—[Gatomon]!"
The two Magic Guide Spirits on the field simultaneously transformed into white light, converging into a formation in the center.
The white light shot from the card face of the [Gatomon] Magic Guide Card merged into it.
A white cat with pale blue vertical pupils slowly emerged from the light formation of the sacrifice summon, kneeling on one knee!
The entire process took 10 seconds.
Gatomon, Appearing!
...
Almost simultaneously.
New Magic Guide Spirits appeared in both summoning zones.
But the expressions of both sides were vastly different.
"Sacrifice Summoning, it's Sacrifice Summoning!"
Seeing the appearance of that white cat, Doron's face turned green.
"Using a 1-star and a 3-star as sacrifices, a 4-star Magic Guide Spirit is summoned!"
He quickly checked his hand.
But no matter how he looked, it was all Spirit Cards, and not even a single 4-star card in hand!
There were no more powerful high-star Magic Guide Spirits.
Nor any Magic Cards for field clearing.
In just the second turn, Teddy Doron was already in a desperate situation!
...
"Gatomon, Cat Punch!"
Under the blessing of the Holy Ring, Gatomon's Magic Power, Attack, and Defense reached 2000, 2400, and 1400 respectively,
at this stage it was almost synonymous with invincibility!
What was even more outstanding was its high mobility beyond its three core stats.
The mere thirty-meter long field was easily traversed.
Its cat claws, replicated from Golden SabreLeomon's claw data, instantly tore apart the defense-oriented Nut Dragon!
Nut Dragon turned into light amidst its screams, with only the dark claw shadows remaining in the air.
...
The Magic Orb's life barrier, with only 1000 Magic Power points, couldn't withstand the power of Gatomon's single claw strike at all!
As the life barrier was shattered with one blow, this battle, where both players had gone "all out," was completely
concluded!
"Whoosh——"
After Professor Jones's whistle sounded.
A beat late.
The observing students erupted in an uproar.
Voices of discussion rose frantically.
While most junior Magic Guides were still relying on random refinement methods to "gamble for cards," their peers
of the same grade had already refined extremely powerful 4-star Magic Guide Spirits!
The light formation of Sacrifice Summoning seemed like a key directly tapping into the soul, making people yearn for the even more
brilliant world beyond the Magic Guide Gate!
Dark Demon, without a doubt, played a guiding role.
...
As Professor Jones marveled internally, she couldn't help but worry about Doron: "I hope he won't fall silent because of a
temporary failure."
But if he couldn't even overcome such a small hurdle, he wouldn't be worth expecting much from.
Of course, as a professor, she would try to provide some psychological counseling.
"Battle End!"
"Winner: Dark Demon."
...
[End Phase]
Dark recalled Gatomon into the Magic Guide Card, then took his deck from the card table, preparing to step down.
But just as he was about to turn, Doron's shout came from the opposite side.
"Dark."
Dark paused, choosing to listen.
Doron gritted his teeth, the fall from heaven to hell making his voice tremble slightly: "You just keep moving forward; I
will definitely catch up!"
Dark's expression softened slightly, then he revealed a faint smile and replied: "I look forward to it."
