Goddess hid behind his ck dragon bodyguard as all the hairs on the back of his neck stood up on end. He could clearly feel the undisguised killing intenting from the master assassin.
In the middle of the field, the seven cocoons in the blood river broke apart one after another. Thervae crawling out of them would soon evolve into various demons.
In the moment that Goddess had drawn more cards, a slight sound of splitting air rang out through the sky––
It was Song of Triumph’s cry!
High-altitude attacks couldn’t be blockedpletely. Goddess, who’d experienced many battles, dodged to the side and managed to barely avoid Song of Triumph’s first attack at the most critical moment.
However, a Shadow Dance followed after the initial attack!
The full version of Shadow Dance was simply indescribable. It was even fiercer than Odin’s de fighting!
Goddess’s ice shield was broken in an instant. It had slowed Odin’s pace slightly though, and the ck dragon bodyguard immediately leapt forth.
Odin brazenly beat his gold and green wings to try and send the ck dragon bodyguard flying, and at the same time, the card summoner drew cards again, causing a golden stream of light that was the instance of protection to collide with Odin’s wings in mid-air!
The ck dragon bodyguard shed to reappear behind Odin’s back, the tip of its spear about to pierce him from behind––
Odin, who’d been frozen in ce, didn’t turn back at all. He crossed his two des behind him and withstood the attack, using the impact caused by the collision between his wings and the golden light to break away from the ice locking his feet in ce.
Ice crystals suddenly flew everywhere. Odin’s body was more nimble than a flying swallow, passing over the ck dragon guard’s right shoulder.
By the time he hadnded, the ck dragon bodyguard’s upper body was already crooked. The wound on the dragon’s right shoulder didn’t break open until after he hadnded, and he toppled over amidst a spray of blood.
Thementators exined the situation, “Odin had approached in an instant, broke the shield, killed the ck dragon bodyguard, and then left. Goddess seized this opportunity to fight back, using the period of invincibility provided by the drawing of cards to stabilize the situation.”
“Goddess really doesn’t need to fight so aggressively. His summons will soon hatch.”
The sevenrvae from the blood river hatched right at this moment. A fire demon (predecessor to the fire lord), an eye demon (predecessor to the heart demon), and several other evil demons emerged.
Goddessmanded them to surround him and keep him from being exposed, preventing the assassin from seizing the opportunity tounch a shadow attack.
At this time, thementator was yelling, “Odin is approaching again! Using sh to initiate the fight!”
Odinpletely disdained taking any detours and broke through the defensive line brazenly. The first sh took him directly to the fire demon, and a series ofbos cut away the burning fire demon’s health, causing fire to fly everywhere.
“Odin is preparing to deal with the fire demon first––”
“Indeed, the fire demon can’t be given a chance to enter the water. Otherwise, it will cause a steam explosion that will pose arge threat to him!”
––Most members of the audience were dazzled by this take-off technique. It was almost unheard of!
Thementator grasped this opportunity to exin, “This technique is very simr to dragons’ wing pping. Some dragons have the ability to create pressure vortices with their wings.”
He hadn’t finished speaking yet when Odin’s entire body shed in the air as he used sh in mid-air.
“It’s his third time entering the fight!”
The first time he had gone in, Goddess thought that he’d sent Odin into retreat. When he had attacked a second time, he had thought that Odin had wanted to first deal with a potential problem. Yet as a result, on the third attack, Odin directly went for Goddess!
In the moment that Goddess came face-to-face with those wings, he chose to draw cards to resist the attack but then soon realized in surprise that this had been a feint.
Odin fanned out his wings and switched angles at an incredible speed. He was still in the air, his dagger’s light deflecting the golden light from the card drawing, as he started up an unstoppablebo!
Goddess called on his demonic summons to encircle him again––he believed that Odin would use his flight advantage to retreat when Odin was attacked from behind, but he was wrong!
Odin’s tactics were arbitrary. The only thing his moves had inmon was that one was left unable to guess what he would do next.
Goddess had guessed wrong, and he paid for this mistake with 40% of his health despite still having four cards in hand. At this time, his health was already at dangerous levels!
At this moment, Goddess threw out the life-saving card that he had been holding onto until now––
Special summon: Dragon god’s bnce.
The effect of this card was to even out the health levels of all creatures within a certain range.
In an instant, the health bars of the two yers and the demons around them updated at the same time, stopping with all of them at around half of their health.
Goddess used this extra health to escape the precarious situation.
However, thementator sighed, “What a pity! This was obviously thest life-saving card. If used well, it canpletely reverse the situation. As you all know, Odin is also squishy with limited health, but he can’t summon arge number of creatures to help him!”
“Goddess is unable to guess Odin’s mind at all. In order to save his life, he can only make use of the card in this way!”
Time continued to tick along. The roc’s altitude began to drop, and it would dive into the sea in less than 10 seconds, turning into a kun in the water and changing the map into an underwater one.
Nearby, the subus queen seemed to have finished watching the show. Her whip rang out with a ‘crack’ as she ordered the demons around her to advance towards the battle. Her own enchantment skills had cooled down, and she could now control a yer perfectly for dozens of seconds.
In the center of the fight, Odin didn’t go and fight Goddess directly. He used his de to resist the evil demons’ attacks, then shuttled through leisurely like a fish in water, leaving the encirclement for the third time.
Goddess’s demons shed with the subus queen’s demons. After Odin had left, the subus queen was very interested in him and headed towards Odin herself.
Odin shed to stand in front of Goddess, using Goddess’s demons in order to avoid the subus queen’s skills. Then, they saw Goddess hiding behind an evil demon, pulling out a familiar card to use:
Special summon: Shiva’s sigh!
––Freeze all creatures on the field for two seconds. This effect was equivalent to freezing time.
The entire scene fell into an instant moment of silence. Tiny slivers of ice, water droplets, and even the microbes floating in the air became clear and visible. The demons were attacking each other with bared teeth and ws, and the card summoner looked at the assassin with vignce in his eyes––the assassin had his wings open like an immortal angel of death locking onto his prey.
Everything was quiet and still. And, it was at this moment that the roc tilted downwards, its head plunging into the water!
On the public screen, the rainy day cult was collectively reaching a high peak of excitement!
Thementator eximed, “The fire demon is going to explode! Everyone is within its explosion rage. It’s going to be a ughter field! Goddess is a little further away and might not die, but Odin––”
The othermentator was extremely sensitive to time and said, “No, there’s still one second before entering the water. They can seize the opportunity. If it’s Odin’s sh, a top-level movement technique might be enough for an extremely critical escape!”
At this time, everything waspletely still, and nobody knew what the two yers were thinking.
In the next moment, the static scene suddenly burst with movement!
Instead of escaping, Goddess stood behind his summoned creatures, biting his teeth and preparing to face the explosion. He controlled his eye demon to use a precious control skill––
If the control was sessful, Odin would be in a dizzy state for one second and lose the chance to escape!
At this moment, everyone’s heart leapt. Everyone, including Goddess, had thought that Odin would try to use a movement skill and end up being controlled by the eye demon.
However, Odin didn’t do so.
At this time, he simply turned and looked at the subus queen, and the queen’s charm was the first state to take effect.
At 0.3 seconds, the system determined: The subus queen had sessfully enchanted Odin.
At 0.4 seconds, the system determined: The eye demon’s control on Odin had failed, and it was converted into a mental attack!
Within less than 0.1 seconds, Odin had recovered from the control skill!
At 0.7 seconds, Odin used Shadow Jump––he moved behind the subus queen.
This one second passed by quickly, and the roc finally dived into the water. The blue feathers turned into blue scales, but the water disappeared from over everyone’s head.
There was a steam explosion that shook the earth and sky!
The huge kun called out a long bugle.
A shockwave swept through the water in all directions, the steam forming a majestic mushroom in the center as if a volcano had just erupted in the water.
All creatures experienced a sharp decrease in blood. All of the demonic creatures in the center of the explosion were killed by the st!
Goddess, who was hiding amongst his summons, nearly died. His calctions had been correct though, and he was left with a sliver of health, but unfortunately, he’d allowed Odin to escape!
Through therge plumes of bubbles in the water, he could see Odin’s hazy figure––
At this moment, an idea shed through Goddess’s mind: Odin was behind the subus queen! He had no way to kill this demon lord, who had so much health and must still be under a control skill. This was hisst chance at fighting back!
A card flew out through the air, summoning a sword that would not return. It bravely charged towards Odin, who was still under control.
... At this moment, even thementators had thought that Odin was still controlled.
But, he wasn’t.
After Odin’s Shadow Jump, he hadn’t attacked at all.
He had just stood there behind the subus queen, waiting until the aftereffects of the explosion took away 20% of his health while also harming the subus queen, and then waited for Goddess’s sword.
Odin’s dark eyes were filled with cold arrogance as he nced at the sword.
Goddess had always been very careful to not provoke the demon lord. Unfortunately, at this time, Odin had just used a Shadow Dance. The sword passed by him and stabbed the demon queen’s arm.
At this moment, thementators realized in horror that right from the start, Odin had never harmed the subus queen. Goddess’s sword directly transferred the queen’s aggro to himself.
After the subus queen became enraged, she turned back and used her extremely enchanting human figure to cast a charm spell to control Goddess on the spot!
Thementator patted the table and sighed, “The card summoner is done for!”
“Hadn’t Goddess watched as the subus queen controlled Odin at the start? Now, the tables have turned, and it’s Odin’s turn to watch the subus queen control Goddess.”
After entering the water, Tyron hadn’t even picked up the scales that allowed underwater breathing. He had waited until Goddess was charmed and then gently touched the subus queen’s shoulder. Even before thetter’s whip could close in, he had swam past her.
His movements in the water were like slow-motion versions of his movements in the air. He span gracefully and turned half a circle, his dark, short hair as smooth as silk in the water. His clothing red out like a graceful, ck flower, but the soft edges of its petals were like deadly, silent des.
The card summoner died the moment that it had bloomed.
