Chapter 840: Chapter 500: Duel of the Extraordinaries—Cheating Is a Must-Learn Skill (Part 2)

Of course, Black Ebony used here is not for making weapons, but simply for decoration.

Those invited by Vivian to join the duel game are confirmed owners of extraordinary powers, many of whom are souls from the Otherworld occupying Life Card Masters’ bodies.

The venue is crafted from Black Ebony to avoid unnecessary stage damage once the game starts.

Shen Sui looked at the cut Black Ebony on the ground and pouted boringly, but still helped out.

"These extraordinary ones probably haven’t properly engaged in Life Card Duel." During work, Freymia chatted with Shen Sui, "From the list, most people are C-class category Life Card Masters, some are even amateur ones."

"Don’t underestimate them too much." Shen Sui responded, "Being able to invade the real world as extraordinary ones, most people are definitely not lacking in intelligence. Even if Life Card Duel is complex, with a few days of study, most tricks are already mastered."

Shen Sui would never underestimate any player in the game.

"I’m not underestimating them either." Freymia laughed and said, "But when people face difficulties, they always turn challenges from familiar territories into contestable areas..."

Freymia paused, then continued, "Do you think these Life Card Masters, if on the verge of losing in a life-or-death game, would resort to extraordinary powers for cheating?"

In Life Card Duel, employing unfair tricks means courting disaster.

But if everyone uses unfair tricks, either the duel’s rules have major faults, or using extraordinary powers outside the arena becomes part of the game.

Actually, when Vivian first designed this duel game, such issues were already considered.

The conclusion: don’t mind.

Anyway, this isn’t a professional competition pursuing fairness and justice; she’s curious about what extraordinary feats these individuals from different worlds would display with their powers on the same duel stage.

Additionally, considering most extraordinary ones have only just come to this world, they’re not so familiar with Life Card Duel; any awkwardness during duels can greatly affect the game’s spectacle.

If an event lacks entertainment, then neither the loud reputation nor high value matters.

Therefore, Vivian included extraordinary powers within this duel game’s considerations.

Shen Sui knew about this, although he had no comments, thinking it quite interesting indeed.

With Shen Sui’s help, Freymia’s progress greatly accelerated.

Not because Shen Sui was a major help, nor because Freymia became diligent with his presence.

It just so happened that Shen Sui’s arrival finally allowed Freymia to command Antipus.

Our Broken Boundary Empress is indeed a very proud existence.

As the game’s sole level 17 BOSS, though she’s become Shen Sui’s pet, her deserving arrogance should remain.

Therefore, though Antipus doesn’t look very busy, in Freymia’s previous situation, she totally ignored Freymia’s commands, merely reinforcing this temporarily created world based on Vivian’s instructions.

In Antipus’s eyes, only the Master and Mistress have the right to command her.

Though Freymia felt aggrieved, knowing she wasn’t a match for Antipus, she silently accepted everything.

With Antipus’s help, the entire duel game’s venue was quickly set up.

Shen Sui and Freymia stepped onto the stage for a training duel to test the stage’s stability.

Over several months of evolution, Freymia’s deck finally took form.

Aina ultimately isn’t as capable as Alice; despite many attempts under her mother’s advice, the Life Cards she crafted are nothing compared to Alice’s.

Yet, Alice’s works, however minuscule, far exceed ordinary Soul Cards, so Freymia’s deck still contains many in-house cards, as all out-of-house Life Cards came from shady dealings with Shen Sui.

Not talking about the contents of said dealings, Freymia managed to get many Life Cards from Shen Sui’s library to enrich her deck as desired.

While Shen Sui sorted his hand cards, he watched Freymia’s initial aggressive round unfold.

Freymia’s deck improvement is undeniably enormous, judging by quality alone, it’s already comparable to most seventh-eighth level Life Card Masters.

But Freymia’s duel level...is quite inexplicable.

In Dawn Continent’s original version of Life Card Duel, Freymia’s performance wasn’t so outrageous.

At the time, the integrated Life Cards in duels weren’t many, although systems existed, the environment remained relatively original.

With similar decks used by everyone, Freymia’s duel level wasn’t exposed.

But facing Life Card Duel 2.0 version in the real world, Freymia’s peculiar understanding of duels appeared starkly.

What to say...

It’s like even though she drew five Corpse Fragments successively, she actually resummoned a Corpse Fragment from her hand each turn, and did this without recovery ability from the field or graveyard.

This behavior was so unbelievable that initially Shen Sui thought Freymia intentionally lost to use the loser’s penalty to squeeze him dry.

Later, Shen Sui realized, to a certain extent, Freymia was truly inept.

Of course, from another perspective, Freymia indeed drained Shen Sui greatly, making him suspect Freymia’s race might be Enchanting Demon rather than Elf.

This notion of an Enchanting Demon caused Shen Sui to fall for Vivian’s charm as an Enchanting Demon, rendering his resistance against unknown powers void.

If claiming Freymia’s duel skills made no progress at all would be too harsh.

At least at the very beginning of this duel, Freymia performed commendably, indeed mobilizing her Elf deck’s characteristics.

Summoned a total of three Elf followers on the field.

One Elf could negate the first Spell Card Shen Sui activated.

One Elf could render Shen Sui’s special summoned followers useless whiteboards.

The last Elf was a powerful field-wipe card that annihilated both sides when necessary.

Though it’s imperfect, such a kickoff in an aggressive match actually favors Freymia.

Then, Freymia began her miraculous operations.

Freymia drew a card from her hand and activated its effect.

In an instant, the three followers on Freymia’s field transformed into light clusters and departed from the field.

"???"

Then, an elegant Elf King appeared on Freymia’s field.

[Ancient Elf King Miaida I].

stars, an initial Spirit Value panel of 8500.

Looks very intimidating.

"No, why did you summon this?" Shen Sui asked incredulously, covering his face.

"It’s a very powerful follower!" Freymia said proudly.

Indeed, from an effect standpoint, this Ancient Elf King is very strong.

But! The condition for that strength was the correct summoning method!

"Is there a possibility..." Shen Sui said in exasperation, "That this method of special summoning the Ancient Elf King just makes it an 8500 Spirit Value whiteboard?"

"How can it be! Didn’t I sacrifice three materials?" Freymia quickly picked up the card to check its effect.

"Good lord, she didn’t even finish reading the effect of the Ancient Elf King."

The King can indeed absorb effects from three sacrificed materials, but the condition is that the sum of the followers’ star levels does not exceed hers!

These three materials, their star levels add up to over twenty, how could the King possibly have an effect?

"Ah, I see." Freymia shyly stuck out her tongue, "It’s my first time using it, didn’t see it clearly."

Shen Sui’s face darkened immediately: "Looks like I need a thorough training session for you tonight! How can a Life Card Master enter a duel without understanding their own Life Card’s effects!"

"Eh? But whenever you duel with me, don’t you also check your cards for effects?"

"That’s reinforcement! Reinforcement! Those cards have such lengthy effects; I check them to avoid misstating, okay?"
