Chapter 62. Dekan’s Netherworldly Deck

Inside Phantom Canyon.

A small, empty island was very calm, without even a trace of wind or waves.

But this superficial tranquility was broken by the arrival of two figures.

【Welcome to Phantom Canyon.】

【Generally speaking, simulated duels are not life-threatening.】

【The terrain is a small island (approximately 50 meters in diameter), and the pain is 1/4 of reality.】

【If you actively declare surrender in Phantom Canyon or completely lose consciousness and cannot recover, you will be teleported out of Phantom Canyon.】

【The initial distance between duelists is 20 meters.】

【The duel will officially begin in 30 seconds. Please prepare.】

“Not bad, the description has been revised to be more precise.”

Looking at the prompt, I praised it.

For example, the second sentence, compared to the entrance exam, had the words “generally speaking” added.

I unhurriedly put on the 【Crown of Thorns】 (3x pain, life lock).

I also put on a strange piece of armor that covered my whole body.

I didn't rush to summon the 【Ruined Poet】.

After all, Frata was a ranged fighter, and the Ruined Poet would be easily one-shotted by his magic if it stood on the field.

I saw Frata in the distance take out a fifth-rank staff during the preparation phase, along with a few low-rank functional accessories.

Frata’s eyes met mine, and a sinister curve appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“Just wait to be completely countered by me. Consider this a lesson for you.”

Frata said with a sneer.

Then, three cards glowing with a crystalline purple light appeared in his hand, and he summoned three fifth-rank summons!

Three majestic suits of undead armor stood beside Frata.

The black heavy armor on their bodies exuded a chilling cold, and the greatswords in their hands made a loud bang when they hit the ground.

If it weren’t for the flame-like, ghostly blue pupils, it would probably be hard to believe that these were three summons.

“Isn’t Frata going a bit too far?”

Someone in the audience couldn't help but say.

“This guy is really rich. To deal with Dekan, he specially went to get three countermeasure cards at noon.”

What Frata summoned were three 【Undead War Armors】.

【Undead War Armor】

【Category: Summon Card】

【Grade: Purple Rare】

【Rank: 5】

【Effect: When this summon is defeated, it cannot be defeated unless it receives sufficient fire/light/holy attribute damage. It will be resurrected after 15 seconds and become stronger.】

【Remark: I refuse to be dispelled!】

As undead non-living beings, they couldn't feel pain.

Even if they forcibly attacked me, they wouldn’t lose their combat ability due to my feedback pain.

Moreover, the Undead War Armor had extremely high defense and durability.

Even if I brought the strongest third-rank spell cards, I wouldn’t be able to break through them.

Even if I did pull some trick and take down the Undead War Armor, I wouldn’t have the ability to destroy it completely.

It could be said that there was almost no way for me to deal with these three Undead War Armors alone.

【Duel Start.】

The countdown ended, and both of us were ready for battle.

Frata first took out a 【Pain Shielding】 and cast it on himself.

At the same time, I also used a 【???】 spell card with an unknown effect.

This spell card seemed a bit special.

Even though I had clearly triggered it just now, Frata couldn't use his appraisal skill to decipher its effect.

Normally, even an encrypted third-rank card shouldn't be able to escape the appraisal of a fifth-rank Frata.

Frata felt a hint of apprehension and chose not to attack me rashly.

On the one hand, he didn't know what kind of spell card I had just used. On the other hand, he wasn't completely sure if I had other types of damage reflection cards.

He first concentrated his mind and commanded the three Undead War Armors to attack me.

To deal with me, the safest way was to use fifth-rank summons.

This was also the most stable way to crush a weaker opponent.

Back in the Demon Academy, the Faceless Man's approach to dealing with me was completely correct.

It was just a pity that the Faceless Man didn’t anticipate my heartbreak attack, didn’t carry a card to shield pain, and didn’t have a summon like the 【Undead War Armor】.

“Nice card. If only I could send you a Sun God.”

Looking at the three Undead War Armors rushing towards me, I sighed.

Whenever there were three monsters on the opponent’s field, I felt an itch in my heart, wanting to help the opponent sacrifice the monsters as offerings to a god.

Unfortunately, I was still far from being able to make a card of that level.

But I had long expected that Frata would use targeted high-rank summons to crush me.

I had also prepared countermeasures.

Three equipment cards appeared in my hands, and I tossed them out lightly.

Instantly, three streams of black light attached themselves to the 【Ghostly War Armor】.

A dark and ferocious mask grew on the armor of each suit of armor.

Frata’s heart tightened, and he quickly appraised the effect of the card I used.

【Cursed Soul Mask】

【Category: Equipment Card】

【Grade: Blue Precious】

【Rank: 2】

【Effect: Can be equipped to the opponent's summon. The equipped summon cannot be unsummoned, and its mana consumption is doubled.】

【Remark: Summoning should have a beginning and an end.】

Seeing the effect, Frata felt much more at ease.

He was originally worried that it was some kind of unreasonable control card!

Generally speaking, it was difficult for a second-rank equipment to control a fifth-rank summon.

Unless the quality was extremely high and the conditions were harsh, it would be difficult to achieve a complete lockdown.

Fortunately, these were three meaningless junk cards.

“Heh heh! Just…”

Just as Frata was about to mock me, I activated another spell card.

【Temptation of the Mortal World】

【Category: Spell Card】

【Grade: Purple Rare】

【Rank: 2】

【Effect: Within a radius of 100 meters, both sides' mana consumption is doubled. Maintaining the effect of this card will continuously consume the user's mana.】

【Remark: Is this a mortal world duel?】

Instantly, the small island was filled with a light like floating fireflies, as if a group of light fairies had descended to play here.

Frata’s face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Now his mana was overflowing like an open floodgate!

Frata started to panic a little.

He knew he had to end this battle quickly!

But fortunately, as long as the three undead could reach me.

One hit! It would be enough to take me down!

However, just as he was thinking this, he saw me, standing opposite him, grin at him.

It was an incredibly bright smile, as if it contained no malice at all.

Still more surprises, motherfucker?

Frata only felt a chill in his heart, and his eyes became anxious and uneasy.

Just as the three 【Undead War Armors】 were about to hit me, I, as expected, took out another spell card.

Frost spread, and my body was instantly enveloped in ice!

I became like a doll sealed in a crystal gem!
