Konoha: Naruto will win no matter what choice he makes! Chapter 161

【HP: 1000】

“My turn, draw!”

The moment the cool touch of the magic card came from his fingertips, Darke’s mind settled.

In the beginning of the duel, there was no drawing phase.

There wasn’t even a “turn” concept.

It was only limited by the “human magic power is very limited” factor, which restricted the number of decks.

In this situation, duelists would always exhaust their hand cards at the beginning, and the so-called tactics were customized in advance. Who was strong and who was weak was already predetermined at the beginning of the duel.

The duel competition seemed to become merely a stage for duelists to display their decks. It was fine at first, but over time it became boring.

It only took a very short time from its initial popularity to its rapid decline.

Later, the rules gradually evolved.

The Duel League, based on the factor of “inability to guarantee the number and types of cards in hand during wartime,” added “shuffling” and “drawing” phases, adding infinite possibilities to the duel competition, which then allowed an industry that almost collapsed midway to re-develop.

In order to win in a duel, duelists must be thoroughly familiar with their decks and be able to adapt to any card drawn, devising corresponding tactics.

To a certain extent, this also greatly enhanced the duelists’ practical combat abilities.

…

With a mere thought.

Darke had already drawn five magic cards from the top of his deck.

【Shuckle】

【Phantom Beast: Eevee】

【Miltank】

【Magic Bullet Curse】

【Paradise III】

“All hit!”

Darke merely glanced at his hand cards, and various tactics flashed through his mind.

Whether starting with 【Shuckle】 or 【Phantom Beast: Eevee】, both were good choices.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard Doron’s excited shout.

“Good!”

Doron, who had also drawn five magic cards, had an excited expression on his face, clearly having drawn a very advantageous hand for him.

“Even the deck has responded to my call, what reason is there to lose?”

Doron suddenly looked up at Darke, his eyes burning like fire!

“Look closely, this is my full effort!”

【Battle Phase】【 30s】

“Magic Summon!”

“Magic Summon!”

Both duelists started at the same time.

In the third month of school, Doron was already able to compress the time for a normal summon to within 10 seconds, which was excellent.

But Darke, famous for his “speed attack,” still crushed him without suspense.

More than half the time faster, Darke summoned his first magic spirit.

“Shuckle!”

【Shuckle】, materialized in the summoning zone, extended its soft head from its shell, its eyes instantly becoming sharp!

Even though Darke had already refined many powerful new magic spirits, the gold-certified 【Shuckle】 was still an indispensable backbone force!

The mere 0.6-meter-tall Shuckle guarded in front of the magic orb, its aura alone reaching a height of two meters.

【Card Name: Shuckle】

【Type: Spirit Card】

【Level: ✪✪✪】

【Race: Insect Type】

【Attribute: Rock Type】

【Magic Power: 900】

【Attack: 0】

【Defense: 2200】

【Ultimate Skills: Sturdy, Power Split, Defense Split, Power Trick】

…

Referee Area.

Professor Jones stood with her arms crossed, looking on with interest.

She had already learned from Professor Kazel that Darke had such a 【Shuckle】.

However, although the 【Shuckle】 magic spirit itself had extremely strong defense, its versatility in actual duels was actually very low.

As long as you ignored it, it was a useless card.

“But it is said that Dimon’s 【Shuckle】 is a gold card, which should be the first time a golden 【Shuckle】 has appeared in history.”

“I wonder what surprises it will bring us?”

Then she looked at Doron’s summoning zone.

“Roar!”

Several seconds later.

A magic spirit with obvious “Dragon Type” characteristics appeared with a roar.

【Card Name: Larvitar】

【Type: Spirit Card】

【Level: ✪✪✪】

【Race: Dragon Type】

【Attribute: Dragon Type/Rock Type】

【Magic Power: 1100】

【Attack: 1500】

【Defense: 1000】

【Ultimate Skill: Rock Spike】

…

Unlike the small Shuckle, the grey-white, hard-skinned Larvitar stood over two meters tall!

The aura between the two was not on the same level at all.

Without looking at the card face, it would be hard to imagine that these were magic spirits of the same star level.

In the 3-star range, Larvitar’s attack power data could be said to have reached the limit for a three-star magic spirit, possessing top-tier strength worthy of a Dragon Type.

Doron, who summoned Larvitar, let out a low growl: “Larvitar, Rock Spike!”

On top of Larvitar’s head, a gray-white rock spike immediately condensed, boosting its attack power by 300!

“Charge forward, crush them!”

Doron pointed at Shuckle, his loud shout echoing through the arena.

The students from the Knight Academy watching from outside the venue seemed to be energized by Doron’s passion.

Especially those who usually hung out with Doron, they clenched their fists excitedly.

After all, who doesn’t want to see a “loser’s comeback”?

The magic projection of the cards was face up, tilted 45° upwards.

From their perspective, they couldn’t see the specific data displayed on the card face.

This was completely different from playing cards in a game.

The real-life duels of magic spirits were not simply about adding and subtracting data.

But data could always serve as a reference.

Doron had no idea that Shuckle’s defense value would be as high as 2200 points, nor did he have any tactical idea of “bypassing it.”

Because he didn’t understand the magic spirit 【Shuckle】.

In his mind, there was only pure violence and crushing at this moment!

…

At this moment, Darke unhurriedly summoned his second magic spirit—【Phantom Beast: Eevee】!

With Eevee-chan’s appearance, there were some quiet cheers from outside the venue, all from the fans drawn to Eevee.

Shuckle moved slowly, Darke summoned Eevee to protect the magic orb.

“Roar!”

Larvitar had already crossed half the field, its upper body low, the rock protrusion on its head sharp like a dragon’s horn.

“Shuckle, Shuckle!”

Shuckle, whose aura was no weaker than the other’s, also tried to move two meters forward.

“Power Split!”

Just as the two were about to make contact.

Shuckle’s psychic ability activated, instantly adding and then splitting its and Larvitar’s base attack.

The attack values on both magic cards instantly changed.

Shuckle: 【Attack 750】

Larvitar: 【Attack 1050】

With its newfound strength, Shuckle was able to grip the ground tightly, preventing itself from being knocked away.

It retracted its head, using its shell to withstand Larvitar’s charge.

The shell merely trembled slightly.

“Shuckle.”

Softly, without pain or itch.

Larvitar’s Rock Spike, however, was almost broken by the recoil.

Without giving Doron a chance to recover.

Darke went all out.

“Power Trick!”

Shuckle’s attack and defense swapped.

A yellow tentacle extended from its shell, carrying an attack of up to 【 2200】, and punched out!

“Bang!”

Larvitar’s large head, which had actively approached, was instantly blown apart by this punch!

The whole audience gasped in shock!
