Chapter 63: Dekan Wouldn’t Counter Mages?

"You, are you an animal?!!!"

Flatta was dumbfounded.

He could only shout angrily at the frozen Dekan.

The last card Dekan had used was a spell card that Flatta, as a mage, was very familiar with.

Although it was quite expensive, many mages chose to carry one with them.

It was a crucial life-saving card.

[Ice Block]

[Category: Spell Card]

[Rarity: Purple Rare]

[Tier: 3]

[Effect: Freeze oneself and gain an ice armor that cannot be breached by attacks below tier 7 for 30 seconds. During this time, you cannot attack, move, or cast spells. Cannot be used again for 1 minute after release.]

[Note: Can also be used as utility magic during the summer.]

Dekan had borrowed this card from Croix.

Although Dekan could buy one directly or craft one himself, there wasn’t a need for it yet.

The market price of this card was approximately 300 gold coins; purchasing it directly would deplete Dekan's savings.

If he wanted to make it himself, Dekan would need to spend time studying the card's crafting process.

Furthermore, because Dekan wasn't skilled in human-script card crafting, he would need to make significant modifications to the card designed by an ancient archmage.

As for the specific translation into demonic script card crafting and how to incorporate new designs, he had no clue.

If he were to get started, he would need to consult his master extensively.

Moreover, the required materials were also expensive. As such, he currently had no urgent need to craft this card.

So, he borrowed a ready-made one from his reliable tier 6 teammate.

...

Flatta clenched his fists, seemingly trying to calm down.

In each of Dekan's previous battles, he had shown a high reliance on the "Ruined Poet" card.

It was to the point that it gave Flatta the illusion that Dekan couldn't play without that core orange card.

He hadn't expected that, besides the pain return archetype, Dekan had such a mana-draining strategy that didn’t rely on Orange Epics.

Now, the three Living Armors could only stand dumbly in front of the ice sculpture and wait for Dekan to thaw.

Flatta felt that his mana was depleting at an uncontrollable rate!

Flatta was effectively maintaining the equivalent of 12 tier 5 summon creatures!The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.

Even a tier 5 summoner would find it challenging to withstand this continuous mana drain.

Then, Flatta took out a tier 5 spell card, "Wind Slash," which allowed for rapid casting, and once again aimed it at Dekan.

However, just as his spell was about to be released, Dekan, who should have been unable to move, calmly summoned a cute, chibi version of himself.

Flatta couldn't control it and accidentally directed the spell at the doll.

A howling gale passed through, but Dekan emerged unscathed.

The doll, "Captain Durrkan" (Taunt and Confusion debuff), was only a tier 1 card. Dekan had managed to double Flatta's mana cost for a minimal price.

"Why?!"

Flatta roared in disbelief.

He couldn't understand it!

"Thunder Spark" not only failed to paralyze Dekan but also didn't inflict any damage on him!

"Hehehe."

Dekan didn't explain; he just extended his hand and mockingly pointed to his temple.

The eyes under his protective mask were filled with mockery.

This caused Flatta's forehead veins to bulge, and his expression gradually contorted.

By now, he had probably guessed what was going on.

Dekan's immunity to tier 5 lightning magic must be due to the strange equipment he had equipped from the beginning of the duel!

"Your lightning magic is nothing like real lightning with a voltage of a million volts. Of course, it can't penetrate my rubber explosion-proof suit," Dekan said disdainfully.

He was actually quite afraid of being countered.

So, he had made equipment to guard against lightning magic early on.

He had also considered that in this duel, Flatta might use a paralysis-effect lightning magic.

So, Dekan had specifically bought this card.

[Insulated Bomb Suit]

[Category: Equipment Card]

[Rarity: Blue Uncommon]

[Tier: 2]

[Effect: Has some reduction in fire attribute damage and immunity to voltages below fifty thousand volts.]

[Note: If you have the ability, try to hit me with a hundred million volts.]

Not only did it block "Thunder Spark," but it also used the residual cooling from the "Frost Barrier" and the suit's inherent fire resistance to dissipate the heat generated by the lightning!

"What in the world is a volt?!"

Flatta had previously appraised this card.

He knew that this equipment might have some effect against lightning magic.

But how could it completely block a tier 5 lightning magic? This didn't conform to the principles of magic!
