Chapter 57: The Power of Atavism (2)
Thank you for the tips of Shine to Death, Raligun, xiate, and bee-eating misaki.
Thanks to the good guy "Sword and Black Tea, Florence of Sorrow" Card ......#

【Crush Trampling】
Usually magic: You can only activate it when there is a dragon monster on the field. Choose 1 magic/trap card on the field to destroy and give the controller of that card 500 effect damage.
【Fire Dragon's Flame Bullet】
Usual magic: When there is a dragon monster on the field, choose one of the following effects to activate:
● Deal 800 damage to the opponent.
●Select one monster with a garrison power of 800 or less on the side of the table on the field to destroy.
…… When the power of these two magic cards was expressed in 'reality', Li Bai found that their effects were far beyond his previous imagination.
Because the moment she fell in the cave, she saw through that it was a "trap", and the cave was too deep to fall long enough for her to be prepared to use Crush Trample, so she had time to use the usual magic of this spell speed [Note] Only "1", and not only completely destroyed the cave with one blow, but also caused terrible damage to the earth on the original basis, which can be said to be "stepping on the pit" - she felt that this must be the specific expression of the "500 effect damage".
This is a very important piece of information. She didn't know anything about the various cards she held, their magic, traps, and even the summoning effects of monsters under the laws of the Holy Realm, their various damages, amplifications, weakens, and even the application of flipping life and death, and whether they were direct or indirect.
This unexpected discovery fundamentally reminded Li Bai that she knew that she still had a lot to explore in the Holy Realm.
"Although there are reasons for my soul weakness and brain pain...... But ignoring the testing of these effects really shouldn't be. Seeing another flame bullet with a radius of about one meter quickly condense and form in front of him, and then quickly fly out and devour a goblin killer, Li Bai felt that he hadn't thought of such an easy way to fight before.
Under the bonus of the dragon bloodline, the soul consumption of these cards is very, very low, almost negligible, and the actual effect of these cards is much more than the equipment magic she likes to use in the past, this terrifying gap is directly reflected in the lethality, with her past combat style to kill these goblin killers is undoubtedly quite difficult, not only difficult, but also the consumption of soul and body lì is particularly large, it is impossible to achieve instant killing of the enemy with a fire bullet like now.
[Goblin Assassination Unit]: Dark/Beast Warrior, LV4, Attack Power: 1300, Garrison Power: 0
Effect: This card can directly attack the opposing player. When this card attacks, it becomes a garrison indication at the end of the battle phase. This card cannot change the representation until the end of the next one's turn.
These seemingly terrifying assassins have an attack power value of 1300 points, which is not a very low number, at least in the current Floris, they rarely encounter a threat to themselves in the wilderness. However, the one in this world is not only a value of attack power, but also the setting of defense power.
In many cases, the role of garrison is not obvious, as can be seen from the scene of card duels, and most of the decisive factors are attack power, but this does not mean that garrison is completely useless.
Like now...... The Goblin Assassination Force's garrison power is 0, so they have no ability to resist when faced with the effect of the Fire Dragon's Flame Bullet, which "destroys monsters with a garrison power of less than 800", so once they hit the fireball, they will be killed in an instant, and there is no room for bargaining.
"That's what it's like to manipulate life and death." A round of attacks killed most of the enemies on this grassland, and Li Bai stopped casting spells in a trance.
The goblins who came were very cunning, and the assassins in the distance scattered in an instant after seeing her irresistible power.
"Is that what it feels like to really have power?" Raising his two hands that looked delicate and slender and weak, Li Bai looked at them, a little unable to believe his change.
Just casually launching the condensed huge fireball has destroyed more than half of the enemy, which is a little too big a contrast to the slightly bleak days before.
So much so that she felt a little dreamy, a little unreal.
Not too far from Li Bai, several surviving warriors slowly stood up from the grass with their weapons propped up.
The destruction inflicted on the cavalry ranks by the assassination unit was almost disastrous. Excluding Li Bai and the two, these cavalry originally numbered 30 people, each with at least 2 strong horses. And now...... Whether there is a third of the number of fighters is a big question mark.
Thor stared at the tragic battlefield with a gloomy face, not saying a word.
From the discovery of the attack to the current repulsion of the enemy, the time that has passed in between is only a few minutes, and it is only in such a short time that the other party has caused such a huge damage, as the leader of the team, Thor has mixed feelings in his heart, both the anger of being plotted and the anxiety of the unknown threat - the combat power of the team under his command is already very strong in his cognition, far beyond the level of ordinary humans, but each of those attacking goblins actually has stronger strength than him...... What is the identity of that woman, who can attract forces of this level to forcibly attack regardless of their superficial background of belonging to Mithra?
And she actually has such a strong power herself...... This is completely inconsistent with what the information explains, shouldn't the tricks she can use be limited?
In this way, even if it is safe to reach Carol's jurisdiction, I will not be able to carry out the orders of the corps commander......
Thor had a headache for future arrangements here, and the rest of the soldiers began to silently clean up the battlefield.
Of course, they were also surprised by Li Bai's strength, and they were equally shocked by the scorched black ground that frequently stored around them, but in the face of the pain caused by life and death, they were amazed that such feelings would undoubtedly have to move back to a level.
There is no need to rescue the person who has fallen to the ground...... The way the assassins attacked, the cause of death of all the corpses was to have their throats cut, and their focus was on the pits under the grass, these vicious traps had previously plotted against seven or eight people, making them fall down with men and horses, and it was time to hurry up and treat them.
"Gava!" Seeing a cluster of fluorescent light coming up from behind, Archibald staggered and ran through the knee-deep grass, despite his own scars, and as the distance gradually closed, he finally saw his friend's face again, although a little wolf and tired, but at least not seriously injured.
"Great, you're really okay!" Seeing that he was fine, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally gloomy face also brought a smile.
"It's lucky...... Gava wasn't happy at all, but his expression was a little guilty, "You know my level, if I hadn't been the first to step on the trap and be thrown to the back of the battlefield, I would have died a long time ago...... I'm sorry I didn't help you when you guys encountered enemies, alas...... I look like a superfluous person now. ”
"How could it be, no one in the group dared to say that they were capable of rivaling those monsters, if it wasn't for Lipel...... With Miss's help, it's only a matter of time before we're all gone...... It doesn't have much to do with not having you in the war. Archibald exhorted, and seeing that the other man's mind still hadn't changed, he sighed, stretched out his bloody arm, and lightly punched him in the shoulder.
"No matter what others think, at least I'm glad you're alive. Really, Gava, cheer up, there aren't many people in the team anymore, we're all important. ”
"Maybe you're right." Gava reached out and pressed it on his head, looking up at his teammates in the distance, moving slowly and searching the craters.
"Let's go, we're going to help too...... Although it may not be useful anymore. ”
Li Bai was still stunned at this time, but she quickly came to her senses, because the touch of being hit by a soft body suddenly came from behind her.
"How did you do that!" Turning her head, she immediately saw Lilith's shocked expression...... The red-haired girl looked at her like she was looking at a monster at the moment, "How did you do that!? While constantly chattering like this, Lilith also stretched out her hand and pinched Li Bai's arms everywhere, making her feel numb.
"Alright...... Stop it! Raising his hand to reward the other party with a chestnut blow, preventing his intention to pinch other parts of her, Li Bai looked helpless, "Can you not keep taking off the line like this?" I remember the first time I saw you, you were a pretty quiet looking girl, and now ...... Well, I usually pretend to be three nothings, and I will become a comedian at a critical moment. ”
"Isn't that the point?" It seems that the fright to Lilith this time is too great, and she didn't even pursue Li Bai's verbal ridicule, "What the hell are you ...... Why did you suddenly ...... all of a sudden?"
Cheng Tian and Li Bai were mixed together, of course she knew how many catties and taels the other party had. In Lilith's opinion, although the ability of Li Bai's card to manifest is very powerful, it still has a fatal flaw. For example, it takes a lot of energy to use this ability, and they don't activate very quickly. Let's take a chestnut as an example.,If you want to embody ordinary magic,Its activation speed must be judged according to its "spell speed 1" in the rules.,This "spell speed 1" is more than 1 second or even 5 seconds in reality.,It's not reliable at all when you're in a life-and-death situation.,The only effects that can work within 1 second are the "spell speed 2" or more of the quick attack magic and trap cards, and the trap cards must be prepared in advance before the battle, and the number is even more limited- Li Bai can prepare a maximum of five traps per day, and in the case of preparing these five traps, she doesn't have to drop one of them, and there is no way to manifest new cards, which means that if she wants to retain her adaptability, this amount will have to be reduced by one, only four.
…… And that's not even counting the effort it takes to prepare them.
Lilith has carefully calculated that like consumable cards, Li Bai can only manifest a maximum of 4-5 trap cards in a short period of time...... Every time she prepares 1, she needs to rest for a long time to recover, and they don't have much free time at the moment, according to the current situation, at most prepare 2 traps in advance and can only stop - that's why Li Bai likes to choose equipment magic to manifest, and you can use it all the time when you get it!
Lilith also agrees with Li Bai's preference, after all, it can be regarded as the maximization of resource utilization, and the actual power of those weapons is indeed good...... But, but!
Can anyone explain to her, why the guy who couldn't pass three moves in Molana's hands some time ago suddenly became such a tiger?
That's a big pit with a radius of 20 meters and a diameter of 40 meters! It was only she who trampled on the ...... that caused this destructive effect?
The assassination force with quite good values can't even resist her fire bullets? And this flame bomb was fired more than a dozen while she was staring at it, when did her energy become so good?
Judging by the amount of Cheng dù consumed by manifesting a card in the past, is she really still human...... Only a Tyrannosaurus rex has such strong energy, right!?
"It's more complicated to say...... I'll tell you later. was looked at by the other party with the eyes of a monster, and Li Bai didn't know where to start for a while.
Her atavism had been done more than three years earlier, and Lilith had no idea that there were many interrelated events and people to mention it...... Where does she have the leisure time to talk to her now, didn't you see Captain Thor come to her to discuss serious matters, you can count the ants yourself first.
"Thank you for your assistance, dear lady, otherwise my brethren and I would never have been able to stand here alive." Unlike the hairy boy like Archibald, Saul's address to Li Bai is more formal, this man has also been injured in many parts of his body in the battle just now, and at this moment he took off his shirt, and his entire upper body was wrapped in a circle of bandages from the waist to the left shoulder.
"Honestly...... I did not expect the attack in your mouth to be so horrific and to be snatched away by a trap before the real battle...... Actually, it's all my responsibility. ”
The results statistics are out.
Of the total 30 cavalrymen, 7 fell into the pit trap and another 16 were killed; Of the 7 people who fell into the pit, 2 died on the spot, 4 were severely injured and completely irreversible, and only 1 was slightly injured due to good luck, and the damage was quite heavy.
Excluding Gava, who did not participate in the battle, the number of people they participated in this ambush battle was 29, and more than half of them died, and the 4 seriously wounded could not be treated at all in this place where there was no medical treatment, and the soldiers could only watch them die slowly in pain, and only 9 people could still stand after the battle...... This is still counting the numbers after Li Bai and Lilith.
(It's really miserable...... )
Li Bai, who got this result, couldn't help but reach out and cover his lips, and his face became pale.
It wasn't like she hadn't seen more brutal killings before, but it was all in a dream. She'd just ended the lives of a dozen assassins with her own hands, but they attacked first, and they weren't human......
This can be said to be Li Bai's first personal experience of the bloody ending of her companions on the battlefield, and she is not very comfortable, which can be seen from the fact that she has been covering her mouth when looking at the corpse, and she is enduring the disgust of the wound.
"That...... Lipele? Archibald, who was following behind Li Bai, saw her uncomfortable expression and became entangled, "Actually, you don't need to look at these, just leave these to us to deal with." ”
"You can't say that." Li Bai thought that this was very necessary, "Although I have stronger strength than you, you have also seen it...... I don't have a lot of combat experience, so I can say that I am lacking, and now I am in this state where I want to vomit when I smell too strong blood...... I had to force myself to get over it. ”
The corpses of these warriors have been preserved very intact, and the methods of the assassins and the "effect" they possess have led to almost all the wounds of the corpses being a deep stab on the front of the neck, and if they can't even overcome such a scene, then what is there to stop the invasion of Nelofa...... Does she really have that qualification?
That's why Li Bai forced himself to let Archibald bring them to see these corpses, and use this most brutal way to adapt himself to the current environment.
This attack will certainly not be a rest...... The road ahead will be even more difficult, and if she doesn't get used to it, the faster and more tragic battles in the future may even cost her her her life.
Archibald didn't expect her to have such an awareness, and when she looked at Li Bai, she couldn't help but have something else in her eyes besides the good love she hidden.
At the same time, his inner desire to join the expeditionary force became more unwavering.
He still felt too weak...... It's just that some killers can't deal with it, so even if ...... He simply doesn't have the capital to talk about protection.
Joining the expeditionary force meant more battles and dangers, but perhaps more opportunities to become stronger, and he wanted to gamble on this slim possibility rather than stay in the dark and become a supernumerary soldier who was only one rank above the mercenaries in his life.
The work of burying the body had nothing to do with Li Bai, and after the process of adaptation, she returned to the position where her horse was tethered.
"Now you should have time to tell me the reason." Lilith leaned against the other horse, her hands on her chest, and her face was rather unfriendly.
She hates others selling her the most, and it is not the first time that Li Bai has done this.
"Okay, I'll tell you about it." Seeing the posture of the little girl, Li Bai knew that he couldn't mix it up this time, and Thor gave all the remaining people a break of 6 ticks, and excuses such as not being available were useless.
So she briefly explained her bloodline, and then unsurprisingly saw Lilith look at her eyes and became even more surprised.
"You said you had dragon blood in your veins!" The girl almost couldn't hold back her screaming, and reached out and wanted to move her hands and feet on Li Bai's body, but she slapped her little paws off.
"Oh, I remember, I used to conclude that you had non-human blood in your body, but I didn't expect it to be a dragon...... Ah! Why didn't you say it earlier, it's dragon blood, if you give me some blood, I can make a big step forward in the study of dragons......"
Speaking of the back, her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally it was inaudible and could no longer be heard.
Without him, Li Bai's eyes were too terrifying.
"Dead girl, have you forgotten who raised you for so long, and still wants to let my blood play with you? You dream about it! Angrily, he knocked a few more chestnuts on the girl's smooth forehead, and Li Bai gritted his teeth and forgave the other party's excessive thoughts.
Joke...... Her current body is still in the weak period, and the weakening of her soul indirectly affects the recovery of her strength and hematopoietic efficiency. It's a shame that she can say it!
(But then again, the advantage of the bloodline is really too great, and the fire dragon's flame bullet doesn't even consume much after releasing so much, and the release amount of a dozen times is only about equivalent to the energy consumed by using non-dragon-related cards 2-3 times, and for enemies with a garrison of less than 800 points, I can say that they are undefeated...... )
Abandoning the idea of further punishing Lilith, Li Bai began to consider further exploitation of his own bloodline.
(And the Smash Trample is also a great weapon for dealing with enemies, especially the 500 point effect damage...... If the person who set the trap is within range, it will definitely be able to inflict considerable damage on him, but there is a flaw...... Usually magic spells only have a speed of 1, which is too slow. )
(etc....... I remember that in the dragon-only card, there seems to be a perpetual trap that can achieve a similar effect, and it is called ...... Dragon's Orb? )
Li Bai sank into the system with his head bored, and quickly found this line of cards in the card pool library he had.
【Dragon's Orb】
Perpetual Trap: When a trap card effect is activated for a dragon monster on the field, you can discard a card in your hand to nullify and destroy the effect.
Compared with the smashing trampling, this card still has some flaws, like those traps of a range nature belong to the "do not take the object" in the rules, and it cannot have an effect on this kind of trap; But it also has its own advantages, that is, this is a perpetual trap.
None of Li Bai's current 2 trap preparation quotas are for the perpetual trap, because the perpetual trap consumes more energy than the usual traps, and of course she also wants to keep the powerful perpetual traps such as "the palace's notice", "the palace's pardon", and "the palace's bullet pressure", but she is too constrained by the consumption problem, so she has to give up with regret.
Now that you know the enhancements brought by the bloodline, the "Dragon Orb" is indeed a good choice, as an exclusive card for the dragon family, its consumption is definitely much lower than other perpetual traps...... Although it can't completely replace "crushing and trampling" in terms of function, Li Bai can use them on the fly to achieve a complementary effect.
(Well, that's it.) )
Li Bai immediately began to prepare to solidify the card, but unexpectedly received a prompt from the system.
[Note: Each activation effect of the Dragon's Orb requires the permanent consumption of a card from the Contractor's Card Pool.] 】
[Do you want to continue curing?] 】
――――――――――――――――――
[Note] Spell speed: Most monster effects and spells equipped with magic, usually magic spell speed is 1, commonly known as 1 speed; Some interlockable monster effects and quick attack magic, normal traps, and perpetual traps have a spell speed of 2, commonly known as 2 speed; The spell speed of the counter trap is 3, commonly known as 3 speed.
1 speed cannot be interlocked, 2 speed can be interlinked with 1 speed, can be interlinked with other 2 speed effects, 3 speed can be interlinked with 2 speed, and can be interlinked with other 3 speed effects.
The 2-speed cannot catch up with the 3-speed, and the 3-speed card cannot be interlocked.
Some monsters and perpetual magic traps, field magic summoning, special summoning, and after opening, they are perpetual effects, and are not counted in the chain and are counted as always existing.
This setting is actually the spell law in YGO.
