This Summoner Is Too Powerful

Chapter 619 - 457: [Type-3 Wise Tower] (2)

Hu Wei’s expression shifted slightly after being reminded.

This was because of the two remaining sets of Dragon Soldier cards, which happened to be the 4 [Dragon Soldiers] formation they had just encountered.

In other words, their opponent’s deck was a set of 3+1x4, with a total of 10 [Dragon Soldiers].

If it weren’t for their own [Type 3 Wisdom Tower] + [Chaotic Elements], they would have been doomed.

"No, look at the Dragon Soldier card on the far left!"

But Ji Jiao pointed out that there was more to the situation.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Li Pu also noticed something unusual.

The projection of that card was also a Dragon Soldier, but its physique was slightly more robust, and its armor and weaponry seemed more refined.

The most distinctive feature was a silver armband on its left arm, which appeared to be a symbol of rank or status.

"This... This is not a [Dragon Soldier]!"

Hu Wei revealed the truth.

During their time in Lanlan Town, she and Ji Jiao had been able to borrow others’ cards to access their card collections.

However, this [Dragon Soldier] in front of them didn’t display detailed information.

This meant it was not the [Dragon Soldier] card they expected.

The name on it also revealed a clue.

[Dragon Captain], Grade A.

Neither Ji Jiao nor Hu Wei had this card in their collection, and neither did Li Pu or Ah Yajun, who had only unlocked it when they arrived at Coiling Dragon Valley.

"Have you ever heard of [Dragon Captain]?"

Ah Yajun outright asked.

"Yes..."

Hu Wei’s expression had become solemn by now.

"The Dragon Captain occasionally hides among ordinary Dragon Soldiers, proving to be a challenging adversary."

"Most Adventurers who’ve encountered it have ended up fleeing in panic."

"Only a few have managed to unlock its full potential."

Ji Jiao explained.

Owning [Dragon Captain] is rare, making it difficult to find someone willing to lend the card to unlock its secrets.

"But you must know its general skills, right?"

Ah Yajun asked again.

"Yes, I do. It can significantly enhance the power of [Dragon Soldiers]."

Hu Wei stated, her face unchanging with worry.

With that said, Li Pu and Ah Yajun directed their attention to the face of those [Dragon Soldiers] cards.

[Dragon Soldier]

Wisdom, B

Attack 50, 400/400, 2/4

[Dragon Body - Passive]: Reduces all damage taken by Dragon Soldiers by 10

[Dragon Soldier Battle Technique - 4 Energy]: Increases attack/health by 100% for the next 2 turns

"Whoa, what the heck? How did it get so high?"

Ah Yajun was genuinely shocked.

Compared to ordinary [Dragon Soldier] monster cards, these had 20 more attack points and 100 more health points.

The ace position card was even more astonishing, with health reaching up to 800 points!

"I feel like even a fully powered [Soul Devourer Guardian] couldn’t take on these guys."

He turned to Li Pu, recalling the previous dungeon boss.

"We..."

Despite having discussed this topic repeatedly, Hu Wei still wanted to suggest retreating.

Even without using [Dragon Soldier Battle Technique], those enhanced by [Dragon Captain] were no weaker than those that employed [Dragon Soldier Battle Technique]. Moreover, this buff is permanent!

"Let’s give it a try first."

But before she could finish her sentence, Li Pu had already made his action phase choice.

"This..."

Hu Wei thought for a moment and could only grit her teeth and follow suit.

Since that was the case, they could try for one round, and retreating in the second round wouldn’t be unacceptable.

[Kung Fu!]

As soon as everyone made their choice, Li Pu’s [Kung Fu Ant] raised its head, releasing a pale blue orb of light between its two energy-tower-like antennae.

The orb swiftly expanded outward, transforming into a blue shield.

But this time, the shield wasn’t a perfect circle as before.

Instead, like a bubble tugged from multiple directions, it enveloped different cards.

In addition to Li Pu’s own 4 cards, it also covered Ah Yajun’s [Chaotic Elements] + [Holy Light Historian], as well as 2 regular cards each for Ji Jiao and Hu Wei.

The maximum target coverage for [Blue Power Shield] was 10 cards, covering all allied cards in a standard 9+1 card match setup.

While providing protection and enabling retaliation, Li Pu had also shielded his allies’ key cards.

Among these were three regular protective cards in front of their aces. Generally speaking, as long as these regular cards remained standing, the aces were safe.

"[Blue Power Shield], spreading the damage? Does this skill even have any use?"

Hu Wei was unaware she was about to witness an intriguing scene.

To her, the [Dragon Soldiers] had such high attack power that spreading the damage seemed to make no difference.

Even with [Dragon Captain], there were just 10 [Dragon Soldiers], so distributing the damage into 10 parts still meant each ace had to withstand the attack from a single [Dragon Soldier]. There’s no real benefit there.

[Dragon slays dragon!]

At this point, a Dragon Soldier rushed out of formation, heading straight for [Chaotic Elements].

It was indeed that card that incurred their hatred the most.

Though the monsters couldn’t see their cards, they were instinctively agitated by this dark mass.

-2, -2, -2, -2...

The result was minuscule numbers appearing over the top of every card protected by [Blue Power Shield].

"What?!"

Hu Wei was stunned at the sight.

Although the low damage was favorable for them...

But was this truly the formidable Dragon Soldiers they remembered?

At this point, it felt as though the attacks were nothing more than a tickling sensation!

"Wow! So that’s how it works. Amazing!"

Ji Jiao was the first to realize the clever twist and couldn’t help but exclaim.

With enhancements, the [Dragon Soldiers’] attack strength was 50 points.

But after the 20% damage reduction from [Chaotic Elements], it became 40 points.

An attack of 40 points on the [Defense] of [Chaotic Elements] resulted in just 20 points of damage.

Distribute that into 10 parts...

Incredibly strong!

But even at this stage, the situation was far from over.

[Kung Fu!] x4

Li Pu’s four kung fu beasts charged forward, pummeling the Dragon Soldier.

-5, -5, -5, -5

A string of damage numbers emerged.

"So that’s how his counterattack cards work?"

Hu Wei finally understood.

One had to admit, their opponent had built a truly innovative deck.

By spreading attacks, they achieved a collective counterattack effect, although...

It seemed a tad too flashy.

In a PVP setting, 20 points of damage might still be considerable.

But the problem was that they were now dealing with a PVE scenario; for monsters with 600-800 health, those attacks fell short!

The key issue was that, unlike Ji Jiao’s optimism, Hu Wei was concerned about sustainability.

If all 10 [Dragon Soldiers] attacked [Defense], it meant they would sustain a total of 20 points of damage on their 10 cards each turn.

Along with 6 more points from the 6 non-Dragon Soldier regular cards.

So 26 points of damage per turn, all 10 cards except the ace [Kung Fu Ant] would be wiped out before the 5-turn [Blue Power Shield] expired.

With this in mind, the tactic didn’t seem very impressive.

The outcome showed that the scenario unfolded almost exactly as Hu Wei predicted; it was even worse.

Not every Dragon Soldier attacked [Defense] equipped with [Chaotic Elements]; other cards protected by [Blue Power Shield] also incurred attacks.

Ultimately, in that single turn, the cards protected by [Blue Power Shield] collectively lost 38 points of health.

As for Li Pu’s counterattack tactics, they dealt a total of 16 rounds of collective counterattack, resulting in 320 points of damage.

Unfortunately, this counterattack was also distributed, with much of it being ineffective output.

Overall, Hu Wei didn’t have high hopes for Li Pu’s collection of kung fu creatures, feeling their performance was mediocre.

But just when she thought the action phase was coming to an end, something unexpected happened.

[Go, go, go!]

Suddenly, Ah Yajun’s ace card began to dance with enthusiasm.

It was an ordinary mushroom person, seemingly female in appearance.

With long eyelashes, blush, and red lips, it held two pom-poms like a cheerleader.

The card’s appearance was so mundane that had it not jumped out to create a commotion, Ji Jiao and Hu Wei would have nearly forgotten about it.

The card front itself was equally ordinary.
