This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 446 - 373: Admit Defeat, Child

There's even a rather extreme tactic, which is to place all 1-point cards face down so that even if suddenly knocked out, it won't be a big loss.

When needed, the real cards can be pulled out during the replacement phase.

Li Pu had used this tactic before, but later quickly faced opposition through forced card reveals and other methods.

Since then, he honestly completes his deck and places the cards face down, no longer using the all 1-point card trick.

After all, situations where fully covering cards with full health are instantly wiped out are very rare.

"Let me go first this turn."

After both sides completed their replacement phase and confirmed the cards to reveal, Professor Stick held his face-down card.

"Please go ahead, Professor."

Li Pu nodded.

Unexpectedly, Professor Stick didn't follow the usual routine this time.

The card to be revealed was behind [Emergency Ghost], coming from the third row.

Revealing the front card allows the back card to be revealed in the next turn; this is permissible in the rules, yet most players don't usually do it.

[Let me protect you!]

Before the projection appeared, a firm shout first echoed on the table, followed by the rapid sound of hooves.

A Ghost projection riding a white horse, armored and wielding a shield and spear, charged out with a riding stance.

Then it tossed the shield in its hand, spiraling up above the card grid where [Pointy Ghost] was.

Buzz…

The shield disintegrated into particles, transforming into a faint blue continuous glow, sprinkling down.

[Ghost Knight]

Steadfast, 10 points, A

Attack 10, 100/100, 0/4

[Ghostly Constitution - Passive]: Ghost Knight cannot [Defend], but receives 20% less damage

[Ghost Protection - Passive]: When Ghost Knight is revealed, it can select one allied Ghost card to keep in [Invincible] status for 1 turn.

[Ghost Knight's Spear - 2 Energy]: Ghost Knight gains +20 attack power this turn and acquires [Piercing] effect

([Invincible]: Cannot receive any damage)

Didn't expect this to also be a [Piercing] card.

Moreover, it's a Steadfast type [Piercing] card, which is quite rare.

The truly troublesome part is that [Ghost Protection] passive skill.

Although it lasts just 1 turn, taking it out now would give Li Pu a headache.

Because in his original plan, he aimed to take out [Pointy Ghost] this turn.

"Professor Stick must have drawn a great card."

Li Pu could only exclaim in response.

He knew the appearance of [Ghost Knight] considerably changed the situation.

But that's a fixed fact, and there's nothing to alter it.

Fortunately, the card he's about to reveal now isn't a bad one.

[Let's see how accurate Mushroom is!]

A mushroom person, carrying a backpack, leaps out of the card surface.

The backpack looks almost as big as its body, filled to the brim, with stones visible poking out.

[Tossing Mushroom]

Breaking Force, 10 points, C

Attack 20, 100/100, 0/2

[Throw Your Head - Passive]: Tossing Mushroom can, and only, attack second-row cards.

"Nice card, you really are ruthless."

Upon seeing this card, even Professor Stick admired Li Pu's decisiveness.

As for what second-row cards mean, taking the sequence of right column cards from his side as an example: [Little Ghost Girl] - [Emergency Ghost] - [Ghost Knight].

Li Pu's cards could only attack [Little Ghost Girl], the second-row card is [Emergency Ghost], and the third-row card is [Ghost Knight].

Therefore, [Tossing Mushroom] can only attack [Emergency Ghost].

If [Little Ghost Girl] retreats from the field, [Tossing Mushroom] would not be able to attack [Emergency Ghost], but only [Ghost Knight].

This attack card is clearly intended to circumvent the damage reduction provided by [Tiger Ghost].

However, the downside is that in solo combat situations, [Tossing Mushroom] has an attack power of 0 and cannot attack the enemy.

After both sides' cards are revealed, the action phase arrived.

Professor Stick's choice was to keep [Emergency Ghost] immobile to release [Emergency] next turn.

[Tiger Ghost] is controlled, unable to attack.

[Little Ghost Girl] activated her skill, exhausting all energy to deal 20 damage to each of Li Pu's three lead cards.

[Pointy Ghost] self-inflicted 20 blood loss + [Ghost Knight] attacked [Big Wood Mushroom], dealing 30 damage.

Li Pu made his choice after spending some thinking time.

Confronted with the opponent's [Invincible] protection for [Pointy Ghost], his originally planned strategy was disrupted, forcing him to reconsider.

Thus, his choice was three lead cards targeting [Tiger Ghost] causing 30 damage, to pressure it into devouring its Ghost card sooner.

[Cannon Mushroom] inflicted 40 self-damage, knocking out Professor Stick's 1-point face-down card.

[Tossing Mushroom] attacked the card behind [Tiger Ghost], dealing 20 damage.

Finally, [Big Wood Mushroom] healed a neighboring Mushroom card by 10 health points.

After the action phase, both parties' cards were finally arranged as follows:

Score used: 56 points, remaining score: 44 points

[Covered Card][Covered Card][Knight]

[Empty Slot][Covered Card 80][Emergency]

[Pointy 5][Tiger 10][Girl]

VS

[Shield 70][Big Wood 20][Vine 45]

[Cannon 20][Covered Card][Tossing]

Score used: 52 points, remaining score: 48 points
