Chap 23-The Saintess Who Draws Cards

 

The bustling street.

The newly renovated game center in the Holy Kingdom was filled with families and acquaintances, adding to the lively atmosphere.

Everyone was filled with a thrilling excitement for the tournament to be held today.

“Hoo… I’m nervous.

What if I mess up my hand or make a mistake today…”

“Haha! It’s okay! It’s a 3-on-3 team match anyway, so even if Ellia messes up like a dud rocket, I’ll carry you!”

“Didn’t you end up with 0 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in other small tournaments?”

“…”

“Just kidding~ Hehe…”

The two men and women, now somewhat close, exchanged light jokes.

“But Emily isn’t here.”

“Well… Emily might not come…

The more complicated things are, the more fragile they become.

That’s just how it is.”

“Ha! Who said I wouldn’t come?”

A pink-haired girl appeared confidently, as if their conversation was amusing.

“But… Emily, you’re not good at…”

-KWAANG!!

“…!!”

As she threw a punch towards the worried Ellia, holding a card in her hand, a tingling shock was transmitted to the saintess’s palm, which blocked it.

“Is this… still not enough power?”

“…!! When did you fully upgrade all these cards?”

Indeed.

Looking closely at the deck she had, all the cards were fully upgraded and equipped with exclusive weapons.

“Because I want to fight for you!

I don’t need any more reason to drive a truck for you!”

“…Okay! Emily!”

“Alright, let’s go!”

With that, the three-member team moved towards the stadium, burning with fighting spirit.

–

The tournament finally began.

A black-haired woman who went up on the platform held a megaphone magic tool and gave a speech at the opening ceremony.

“Ah, hello? I’m the director of the Magic Tower Research Institute, who is hosting this tournament…”

Then, looking at the murderous participants, she smirked and uttered a single phrase.

“From now on, kill each other in a duel.”

-WAAAAAAAH!!!!!

They cheered as if craving blood at her short words before she left the stage.

“Uh..? Me?

Ah… Alright! First, we will randomly select teams for the team matches!”

The assistant, who hurriedly received the magic tool, proceeded with a somewhat trembling voice.

.

.

.

“Hmph… It’s not a big deal after all?”

“Doesn’t that mean we’re strong! Haha.”

“Rather than that, it just feels like we beat them with our wallets…”

The saintess’s team, who had a free pass to the quarterfinals.

They laughed and chatted in a friendly atmosphere.

– Fair?

– No;; Ellia is fine even after getting hit once, but it’s ridiculous that the opposing team is on the verge of death in one hit

– Info) Money is also power

[Title: Recommend if you think she’s the worst director in the world lol]

Recommend if you think she’s a bitch who puts luck + pay to win in a card game lol

– Even if the BM and balance are criticized, the design and modeling are god-tier and can never be criticized

– Info) Most of the MMDs circulating in the gallery are made because Lucia distributed the GCG modeling for free

– Is that you again, GOAT

– I really don’t like older women, but Lucia is still fresh…

– (Well-ripened…con)

ㄴ I’m a busty enthusiast, and Lucia is well-matured.

ㄴㄴWhat are you talking about, just looking at those slutty underwear. It’s already past fermentation and about to rot.

ㄴㄴㄴ(Then die lol)

[Title: But at this point, is the saintess going to win??

– No, not yet

– The Princess is also a monster, and Lucia herself is also participating, so if they advance to the higher matches, they can’t just overwhelm with money.

– In the first place, the guys they met at the beginning were all free-to-play or small-capital…Haa”

Emily, who was browsing the gallery with a magic tool, sighed with tension.

‘Can I win?’

Now the semi-finals.

The thought of clashing with an opponent on a different level than before made her chest feel stuffy.

“Emily~? Where are you?”

“Ah… I’m coming!”

-Thud thud!

Although afraid… for her favorite friend, she forced a bright smile and headed towards the stadium.

–

-Clack!

As the saintess’s team stepped onto the stadium, the opposing team was also preparing to greet them.

“Hehe… It’s been a while, Saintess.”

“Yes… Ms. Lucia.”

Then, familiar faces met.

Ellia thought.

She wanted to beat her without hypnotizing her, at least in the duel…

“Yo! Ellia, you came too!”

“Oh my? Siris, why are you here?”

“Haha… I came to support with equipment and ended up playing together by chance!”

“…Ah, I want to go home.”

And the blacksmith and assistant on either side.

Now the chatter was over, and the match was about to begin.

-The match schedule is out!

Ellia vs Lucia!

Sir Banbandoor vs Siris!

Emily vs Simon!

Well then… Battle start!!!!

“”DUEL!!””

Following the host’s shout, the players instantly pulled out their cards.

-Ku-gu-gu-gu!!!

Glaring at each other, they began to release magical power…

“Hehe! I’ll take the first turn!”

“Ugh… Still not enough!”

Lucia, from the magic tower, overwhelmed Ellia with magical power and took the first turn.

“Hoo… A perfect hand!

I activate the spell card [chicken coop]!

I bring a card with the name Lucia written on it to my hand!

Therefore! I search for [5☆ Research Director Lucia]!”

“A 5-star from the start?!”

“And! I summon Lucia from the field!”

-Humans who don’t develop tend to fall behind.

[AP 2000 / GP 0]

And what was summoned from the field was an OL-style woman equipped with a Super-Vibrating Blade, who appeared wielding a sword with a whoosh.

“But the stats are low!

If it’s my ace card…”

“Hehe..! Stats aren’t everything in this game.

I equip the equipment card [Arctic Punisher Suit]!

Therefore, 1000AP and GP each increase… And I can return this card to the deck at any time and bring another equipment card!”

“Ugh… The equipment keeps changing!!”

– Click!

– Weeeeeeeeee!!!

Black and blue armor flew towards Lucia standing on the field, and soon combined.

The blouse and skirt she was originally wearing disappeared, leaving her naked.

The shoes turned into thrusters with boosters, and although the important parts of her body were covered with armor, her abdomen, shoulders, and thighs were exposed in pure white, and a steel warrior shining with blue light appeared.

[5☆ Lucia – Armored Mode AP 3000 / GP 1000]

“A… Amazing!”

“Hehe… And I set 2 cards and pass my turn.”

“Then it’s my turn! Draw!”

-Whoosh!

Ellia nervously took a breath and drew a card, but Lucia’s attack began.

“Effect activated when it becomes your turn!

With the effect of Lucia equipped with an exclusive weapon, I flip 3 cards from the top of the deck, and if there is a related card among them, that effect can be activated even on the opponent’s turn!”

“Wh.. What?!”

-Smirk

Her play style was to interfere with the opponent’s turn rather than her own turn.

Soon, a terrifying combo was about to overwhelm Ellia.

“First card! Typhoon!

Second card!… This isn’t it…

Last ca…rd is….”

However.

Lucia panicked every time she flipped a card from the deck, muttering in an awkward tone.

“Uh… Huh? Why isn’t it coming up…”

“The effect is not activated, right? Then I’ll do it.”

“J… Just a moment! Not yet!”

When no related cards came up, she sweated and desperately activated another card.

“Activate the field card [High-Tech Factory]!

This card draws 5 cards from the top of the deck on the opponent’s turn, and if there is a Lucia-related theme card, you can choose 1 card to activate!”

-Clack…

And both sides nervously watched the cards being drawn.

“Uh..? Really?? Why isn’t even one card coming up out of 5…”

“It’s over, right? I’m going to summon Bunny Girl Ellia, do you have any cards to activate?”

“No…”

Lucia cursed her terrible drawing luck and slumped her shoulders.

‘…But it’s still okay.

A 3000AP monster won’t fall easily…’

“With Bunny Girl Ellia’s unique effect, I’ll banish 1 card from the field~”

“Ah”

That’s how she was betrayed by the deck she believed in and was thoroughly defeated.

“I… I don’t want to lose…”

-Thud.

“M… Master?!”

Lucia, in shock, collapsed from her seat, and the already defeated assistant ran over to support her.

“Ah ah… Our team has lost…”

“Kuh…!”

Of course, Siris easily defeated Sir Banbandoor and looked at them with regret.

“The tower master and assistant have also lost, so I’ll go now~ Bye-bye!”

“Ah… Yes, goodbye.”

“Kuh-huh… Saintess, I’m sorry…”

“It’s okay! Sir Banbandoor, you did your best”

“Hehe… This is an easy victory!”

They won completely except for the paladin.

Without being intoxicated by the afterglow of victory, they immediately prepared for the next match.

–

“Haa… To be defeated without showing anything!

I’m going to be ridiculed again on broadcasts and in the gallery…”

“Well, there are days like that.

Don’t be too disheartened.”

As the assistant, supporting her slumped figure, comforted her,

Lucia blushed and said.

“…Take a shower today and wait for me in bed.”

-Flick!

And she shook off the assistant’s arm and walked ahead with quick steps, as if embarrassed.

“…Eh?”

However. Only Simon opened his mouth with a pale expression.

“A… At this rate, I’m going to be squeezed to death from overwork, or get her pregnant and be tied down for life…”

He clutched his head with both hands and trembled while imagining a bleak future, but sadly, he couldn’t do anything.

–

-Today’s final match!! Princess’s team vs Saintess’s team!

Who is… the strongest duelist on the continent!

“Shall we go?”

“Yeah.”

“Yes, let’s go.”

The three confidently headed towards the stadium.

“That’s… the princess of the Dragon Empire…”

She had almost been attacked by numerous assassins in the meantime.

The sexy slender squad assassins, the shadow knights, Urth of the four heavenly dragons…

She swallowed hard, facing her long-time nemesis for the first time.

“Hehe… Are you Saintess Ellia?”

“…You’re the Princess…”

“That spirited expression is a little cool…

Of course, I’m looking forward to seeing that face crumble.”

-Ku-gu-gu-gu!!!

Soon, a fierce energy began to collide towards each other.

“It must have been hard to come this far with that vulgar body… Amazing.”

“Yes… I’m also jealous of your washboard chest, which receives less air resistance because your chest area is small?”

“…Fat pig.”

-Crunch!

And the Princess bit her lip and muttered.

Ellia also revealed an unpleasant aura and said.

“Well… Slender did grow up in busty enthusiasts, but because you’re a loser from the past growth period whose development stopped before getting close to busty…!

“…!! Take it back! Those words!”

“Yes, I’ll take it back.”

“…Unforgivable.”

— Bzzzzzt!!

Fighting spirit colliding even before the match started.

The audience and others held their breath in tension at their war of nerves.
