At this moment, Enshir looked at the girl, who had lowered her hand, as if he had seen a ghost.
What the hell?
Where’s my follower?
Also, why can this woman use cards during my turn?
Enhill felt like he had more questions today than ever before.
Fortunately, the girl quickly cleared up his confusion.
“Cards with the ‘Flash’ keyword can be used at any time, even during your opponent’s turn.”
“And the magic power it consumes is the magic power I didn’t use during my turn, saved for your turn.”
Upon hearing the girl’s explanation, the onlookers immediately reacted.
“Holy cow, case closed!”
“No wonder she didn’t play a single card on her turn, she was waiting for this!”
“But have you ever heard of the ‘Flash’ keyword before?”
“Sonia… created a new effect type?!”
The last sentence made the entire audience explode.
Even if it were just a completely new effect, they wouldn’t be this excited.
But what stood before them now was a brand new keyword.
Keywords are specialized terms used by the Duel Rules to simplify descriptions.
And the appearance of a keyword means that the Duel Rules believe this effect will appear on a large scale in the future, which is why they actively simplified it!
“I can’t believe you were hiding an effect like this, that’s great, Sonia!”
Tivia jumped up.
However, amidst her joy, a hint of doubt also arose in her heart.
So many changes have happened in just a few days.
Also, that powerful rebuttal just now didn’t sound like something Sonia would say.
Sonia, did she meet someone…?
The discussions among the crowd did not affect Yide.
He had heard such voices too many times in his previous life and when he possessed Loveland.
Instead, Sonia, in her soul state, let out a long breath.
“You scared me, so it really can be used…”
“Hey, it’s one thing for others not to believe it, but why do you also look relieved?”
Yide complained, “Isn’t this the card you printed yourself?”
“Because it printed out all at once last night, it was so simple that it didn’t feel real at all,” Sonia mumbled softly.
Every duelist can only play cards during their own turn; this could be considered an iron rule of the Duel Rules, and no one would doubt it.
But last night, Yide told her that the Duel Rules actually allowed playing cards during the opponent’s turn.
Sonia initially didn’t believe it could be that simple, but she fell silent after seeing the card’s effect.
How did it really just print out so easily?
What have these duelists been playing for thousands of years then?
“Is it really simple?”
Yide snorted.
“Some things, once explained, are indeed that simple, but if they aren’t explained, they could be stuck for thousands or tens of thousands of years.”
He had the knowledge of card games from his previous life as a foundation, which is why he would try such a thing.
But for the duelists of this world, when playing cards on their own turn was sufficient, no one would think about playing cards on their opponent’s turn.
As the two sides chatted, the Duel Rules automatically drew a hand for Yide.
Looking at the drawn cards, Sonia’s eyes lit up.
“Mr. Yide, you drew that card!”
“That’s great!”
Even Yide nodded, “My luck today is indeed pretty good.”
“My turn.”
Yide placed a card face down above the magic zone, then played a card from his hand: “I sacrifice ‘Raging Flames’, my magic power limit increases by one, then I summon ‘Mana Wyrm’.”
Mana Wyrm ★★ (Two Stars) D-rank
Fire
Elemental 1/3
Whenever you cast a spell, Mana Wyrm gains +1/+0
A blue transparent floating creature appeared on the battlefield, its form resembling a swimming dragon.
“‘Spitfire Juggler’, direct attack.”
Enhill’s HP: 18 → 17
“End of turn.”
“Tsk, my turn, draw card.”
Enhill drew a card.
Although his opponent’s offense was still weak enough to be called a disgrace to the fire element, he felt annoyed.
Because this woman had two magic points remaining when she ended her turn again.
Is there any card you can’t play on your turn?!
Why use my turn!
Bearing that frustration, Enshir glanced at his charging followers but ultimately, relying on instinct, played another card: “I sacrifice my third ‘Flaming Minotaur’ to summon ‘Masquerade Jester’.”
Masquerade Jester ★★★★ (Four Stars) C-rank
Fire
Human 3/5
“When a continuous spell exists on our field, ‘Masquerade Jester’ gains ‘Charge’.”
“‘Masquerade Jester’, direct attack! With the bonus attack from ‘Aggressive Bloodline’, you take a total of four damage!”
Sonia’s HP: 17 → 13
Enhill ended his turn, letting out a sigh of relief.
Surely this wouldn’t be removed again?
He admitted he had been carried away earlier.
He’d focused too much on offense, completely abandoning the board, which resulted in many followers, but all of them had only one health.
Now that he thought about it, even if this woman could play cards on his turn, the strength of those cards was still trash.
Suddenly, Enhill’s eyes lit up as if he’d grasped some inspiration.
That’s right!
Three cost for three damage—that damage is definitely subpar!
This means that this woman can only play cards on his turn; the strength of those cards is still the same.
No, they might even be weaker to gain that flexibility! Now, with a 5/5 on the board, even if this woman wanted to remove it, it would likely take more than one card.
Even if it is removed, it doesn’t matter.
On the fifth turn, his Duel Spirit would be in his hand!
The card disadvantage he had earlier would be instantly recovered!
Indeed, I am a genius!
Enhill came to his senses, swelling with pride over his divine move of not continuing to rush damage but instead playing a large follower to establish board presence.
“What’s he laughing at?”
Yide looked at the opponent as if he were an idiot.
“Maybe… because he played a five-health follower?” Sonia tilted her head.
“You’re kidding, now he’s thinking about playing a big follower to hold the board?” Yide shook his head.
Did this person have some excessive misunderstanding about Sonia?
No matter how bad her cards were, they wouldn’t be unable to remove a five-health follower.
Yide played a card from his hand: “Before your turn ends, I ‘Flash’ ‘Blazing Fury’.”
Blazing Fury ★★ (Two Stars) D-rank
Fire
“Deal three damage to your ‘Masquerade Jester’.”
“At the same time, ‘Spitfire Juggler’ deals one damage to you, and ‘Mana Wyrm”s attack increases to two.”
Another fireball slammed onto Enhill’s field.
Sonia: “Then it’s my turn, draw card.”
“I sacrifice ‘Ardent Ritual’ to cast ‘Searing Blood’.”
Searing Blood ★★ (Two Stars) E-rank
Fire
“Deal two damage to a target follower. If that follower is destroyed, deal one additional damage to that follower’s controller.”
“Including the damage from ‘Spitfire Juggler’, that’s a total of two damage!”
Boom! Boom!
Two fireballs moved separately, burning ‘Masquerade Jester’ to ashes and simultaneously exploding in Enshir’s face.
Enhill’s HP: 15 → 13
“All followers, attack.”
Enhill’s HP: 13 → 9
“End of turn.”
“Hmph, well played, you actually removed it.”
Hearing Sonia’s declaration of ending her turn, Enshir wiped his face, clearing away the dust from the fireball explosion.
The next moment, his voice suddenly rose by an octave.
“But you forgot the biggest difference between us!”
“‘Masquerade Jester’ isn’t my strongest card—he is!”
“My turn, draw card!”
Enshir placed his hand above the top of his deck.
The next moment, a card radiating flames and a scorching aura was forcefully drawn by Enshir.
Enshir knew without looking what card it was: “I sacrifice ‘Goblin Mercenary’, and then summon!”
“Come forth, my companion, my Duel Spirit, ‘Flame Summoner’!”
Flame Summoner ★★★★★ (Five Stars) Fire Spellcaster 4/4
A magician draped in crimson robes entered the battlefield at Enshir’s call.
Seeing the silhouette of that follower, Tivia’s heart tightened at the side of the field.
It’s here, the opponent’s Duel Spirit!
What do you think will happen now that Enhill’s Duel Spirit has appeared?
