CHAPTER 7: CHAPTER 7: ALICE’S FRENZIED MASSACRE

Shen Sui now has no choice but to acknowledge Alice’s abilities.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she always encounters all sorts of strange events.

In the time it took for him to visit the Life Card Store, Alice managed to create three new Spell Cards for him.

Shen Sui immediately inputted a command and cast a Tier-7 spell, the Great Healing Art, on Alice, instantly healing her injuries.

Oh Alice, my dear, can’t you let me live a peaceful life?

Your cards come quickly, but my little heart can’t quite handle it...

Shen Sui grumbled internally.

With this spellcasting, Shen Sui also obtained a 7-star Spell Card, the Great Healing Art.

Shen Sui wasn’t surprised and instead picked up the card "Crushing Blow to the Crotch". As a man, he was very curious about what the effects of this card would be.

******

Card Name: [Crushing Blow to the Crotch]

Category: Spell Card

Star Level: 2 stars

Effect: Choose a male Follower on the field as the target and destroy it.

******

No, this effect wastes such a good name.

Shen Sui raised his hand and decided to modify this card.

He didn’t want to change the male Follower restriction; otherwise, it would lose the flavor of the card’s name.

But to destroy directly is too straightforward; this card should have a more underworld-like effect.

Shen Sui’s eyes twinkled, and he instantly had an idea.

His fingers flew across the Dueling Device, quickly writing his brainstorm into the card’s effect field.

******

Card Name: [Crushing Blow to the Crotch]

Category: Spell Card

Star Level: 2 stars

Effect: Choose an opponent’s male Follower on the field as the target and let your opponent choose to activate one of the following effects:

① You gain control of that Follower;

② Send all male Followers on both sides of the field, deck, and hand to the graveyard.

******

Heh heh heh!

Anyway, I’m planning to build an all-girl card deck in the future, so this card’s effect won’t work against me at all! And incorporating a downside that affects oneself makes this strong effect stable at a 2-star Life Card level.

World, feel my malice towards male Followers as a girl card player!

After printing a sonnily-named card, Shen Sui’s moody feelings lightened up again.

It seems that making these kinds of cards not only puts a smile on the opponent’s face but also brings joy to oneself!

Seizing his good mood, Shen Sui opened the Dueling Device again, eager to see what new mischief Miss Alice was up to.

[Alice accepted your Great Healing Art, and Alice is healed.]

[The pony carried Alice onward towards Lake Paiyiga.]

[Alice is on her way.]

Thank goodness, at least things have calmed down a little...

Just as Shen Sui was feeling pleased, text appeared again on the Dueling Device:

[As Alice passed through Shadow Forest, she came across a caravan being attacked by the Silver Moon Wolf Pack.]

Oh no! Shen Sui immediately placed a hand on the input button, intending to persuade Alice not to meddle.

[Alice plans to pass by silently.]

Yes, yes! Exactly! Don’t cause trouble! What does someone else’s danger have to do with you? Nowadays, the plots where characters intervene to right unrelated wrongs aren’t that appealing!

[Alice saw an elegant and beautiful noble girl in the caravan, who had been frightened to tears by the wolf pack.]

So? Shen Sui found the text rather puzzling.

[Alice’s eyes lit up.]

Why the heck did your eyes light up?! You’re a girl; are you smitten by a beauty?

Shen Sui sensed something was amiss, but just as he wanted to input a command to let his character step in to advise Alice, Alice had already cast Fireball Technique.

[Alice used Fireball Technique on the wolf pack; Alice decided to do a good deed.]

No way, why did you cast Fireball Technique before making a decision? Does your body make decisions faster than your brain?

Shen Sui slapped his forehead, mentally preparing himself for another serious injury on Alice’s part.

[Alice frantically used Fireball Technique to attack the wolf pack.]

[Alice comprehended a new magic: Multi-Link Frenzied Fireball Technique.]

[Ding! You have obtained the Spell Card: Multi-Link Frenzied Fireball Technique.]

Good going, Alice! Doing a good deed indeed!

Shen Sui greatly praised, completely forgetting his earlier thoughts.

[Alice killed three Silver Moon Wolves.]

[Alice killed seven Silver Moon Wolves. Crazed Slaughter!]

Keep going! Quickly give me another event Spell Card!

Shen Sui expressed approval, but the next moment...

[Alice was hit by her own Multi-Link Frenzied Fireball Technique and is critically injured.]

The Dueling Device issued a piercing alarm sound, warning Shen Sui that his Soul Card Follower was on the brink of collapse.

Can’t you even cast a spell properly?! How did you get hit by your own spell?!

One moment he felt in heaven, and the next, Shen Sui was plunged into cold hell.

Looking speechlessly at the text on the Dueling Device, he felt a sense of helplessness and despair; what kind of Soul Card Follower had he drawn...

[Ding! You have obtained the Spell Card: Accidental Injury]

Since there were outsiders present, Shen Sui didn’t want to arbitrarily use [Recovery]; instead, at the moment of Alice’s critical condition, he activated [Great Healing Art], instantly healing Alice’s injury. To the average person, Alice probably looked like she took a Fireball Technique without a scratch.

[The Silver Moon Wolf King witnessed everything that just happened to Alice, finding it miraculous.]

[The Silver Moon Wolf King expressed submission to Alice.]

[Ding! You have obtained the Follower Card: Silver Moon Wolf King Hali]

Seeing the suddenly acquired Follower Card, Shen Sui was filled with question marks.

How did submission come about so suddenly?

Could it be because this Silver Moon Wolf King sensed his aura?

A 16th-tier aura could certainly make ordinary magical beasts submit directly.

Shen Sui let out a sigh of relief. Although that section was full of ridicule, the ending was good. Alice’s good deed directly brought Shen Sui three Life Cards, increasing his card count to fifteen, bringing him closer to the duel exam requirements.

The results of doing a good deed were indeed positive.

But Alice, can we practice spellcasting a bit in the future? Hitting yourself with your own magic, isn’t that a bit excessive?

Looking at the magic Alice created, the [Multi-Link Frenzied Fireball Technique], Shen Sui realized it wasn’t a lack of ability on Alice’s part, but rather a significant flaw in the spell she invented!

******

Card Name: [Multi-Link Frenzied Fireball Technique]

Category: Spell Card

Star Level: 2 stars

Effect: Randomly choose up to five Followers on the field as targets to activate, lowering their Spirit Value by 500. Followers whose Spirit Value drops to 0 are destroyed.

******

Turns out it was random, no wonder it hit her.

By the way, doesn’t this effect seem a bit familiar?

It’s like a random mass-casting version of Thunder Summoning Bomb, right?

It’s kind of interesting, and it’s a rare group effect.

Shen Sui just happened to lack ways to clear the field, so this was like a snowball given in a time of need.

The Spirit Value of 500 is too low, though; I’ll need to find a way to revise it, aiming to wipe out all the opponent’s Followers in one go.

He stroked his chin, contemplating how to modify the effect.
