Chapter 124: Dekan Had Been Anticipating Since A Year Ago
"Naive!"
Dekan ultimately had only this much ability.
Isabel flashed such a thought in her mind.
Fortunately, she had previously activated “Spell Counter.”
The tier 1 spell card “Mind Collision” would undoubtedly be invalidated by the “Spell Counter” that Isabel had activated in advance.
When Isabel thought that Dekan's final struggle was about to be wiped away and the situation would once again tilt in her favor, she suddenly felt a slight tremor in her brain.
It was like porcelain being bumped. It seemed that a spiritual entity much weaker than herself had collided with her own spirit.
In the next instant, pain that seemed to come from nowhere was about to tear her brain nerves apart.
"Ah ah!"
Isabel cried out in pain.
Her body convulsed violently before collapsing on the ground like a puppet with cut strings. She didn’t even have the chance to understand what had just happened.
"Idiot meow."
Dekan Cat lightly jumped out of the puppet's belly.
It lifted its front paw to cover its mouth, surveying Isabel, who was lying unconscious on the ground, with a cunning gleam in its pupils.
"Cost can't be countered, meow!"
Dekan Cat, aside from a slightly sore head, was unharmed. He didn't even faint as the loser of the “Mind Collision.”
It was because the dizziness effect was invalidated by the "Spell Counter". However, the "Spell Counter" did not invalidate the Mind Collision between the two sides.
Dekan had always been someone who did preparation work in "places the enemy couldn't anticipate." He had already considered the possibility of the enemy using interruptive spells against him when he initially created "Mind Collision".
"Mind Collision" could be considered one of Dekan's final measures. Generally, he wouldn’t need to use this card in easily handleable situations. Whenever Dekan had to use this card, it was almost always a moment when he faced a formidable enemy and needed to determine the outcome decisively.
If this card was countered, Dekan might end up losing the whole game. Therefore, when creating "Mind Collision," he had already started thinking about methods against "Spell Counter".
As a seasoned card player, Dekan quickly identified the apparent weakness of counter-type spells in this world — they could only negate the "effect" of spell cards but couldn't counter the "activation cost" that the spell card had already paid when activated!
In theory, only time-based spell counters could possibly rewind the activation cost paid when playing a card. However, cards involving time fundamentally cannot be considered the same as "Spell Counter."
In the history of this world, time-based and space-based cards were almost as uncertain in existence as red legendary cards. After finding the method to counter the counter, Dekan immersed himself in research. After numerous attempts, he finally created "Mind Collision".
Dekan deliberately used "triggering a collision of mental power" as the activation cost, separating it from the spell effect of "causing a strong dazing effect." As a result, Isabel's "Spell Counter" only countered the dazing effect but had no impact on the intense collision of their spirits.
Dekan successfully returned the pain he received from Isabel, multiplied by 60.
"Oh, if only all dueling arenas were in the sky at ten thousand meters." Dekan reverted to his human form and sighed helplessly.
He was currently facing a problem — the terrain for a direct confrontation was too unfavorable. Isabel, at the seventh tier, had a robust physique. With her armor, she was likely more resistant to attacks than Baron Bacher and Olive. With Dekan's methods, the only way to slowly wear down Isabel was to use “Blood Purification.”
However, Isabel wasn't the pitiable vampire from the Snowy Mountain Villa; she had troublesome magic cards. Once “Blood Purification” woke her up in pain, before Dekan could stun her again, she would activate “Pain Nullification" to counterattack.
Against a formidable opponent like Isabel, the same trick was unlikely to be effective twice. There was almost no chance of stunning her again.
So, at this moment, Dekan needed the help of his teammates. He looked towards Croix.
In the distance, the Ice Princess, holding a chained staff, widened her eyes. She knew she should focus all her attention on suppressing the Destruction Demonic Lord. However, since a moment ago, as if influenced from above, she couldn't seem to take her gaze away from Dekan.
Isabel and Dekan's duel had lasted only a dozen seconds. When the Ice Princess saw Dekan falling into a disadvantage and on the verge of defeat, she unconsciously bit her lip. She hadn't even noticed that she was bleeding. A few seconds later, Isabel, suddenly and effortlessly, fell powerless.
Only then did the Ice Princess release the breath she had been holding. Every move Dekan made was beyond her understanding. Even with over two hundred years of life experience, the Ice Princess found herself increasingly curious about Dekan's actions.
"Did he win?" the Ice Princess asked blankly. Until this moment, she still found it somewhat unbelievable.
"Not yet, both of us lack finishing moves." Croix shook his head helplessly. If Croix used a tier 6 summon recklessly, it would only awaken Isabel without being enough to kill her.
"Then let me handle it." The Ice Princess's expression turned somewhat cold. Waiting for Isabel to wake up would be a disaster! However, just as the Ice Princess was about to activate her magic to unleash the most potent ice spell to kill Isabel.
"Roar!!!" The Destruction Demon Lord suddenly began a violent struggle, attempting to break free from suppression. It seemed that if the Ice Princess was even slightly distracted, it could succeed!
Gritting her teeth, the Ice Princess, filled with reluctance, poured all her power back into the chained staff. "No, I have to deal with the Destruction Demon Lord first before I can break free to take down that woman." Although the Ice Princess said so, she also knew that even Dekan and Croix, who couldn't defeat Isabel, were even less likely to take down Destruction Demon Lord.
"Regrettable." Croix sighed and took out a few cards. If there were other students from the Hevenlit Magic Academy present, they would surely recognize these cards as the “Goblin Gangsters” that brought them an extremely unpleasant experience a few months ago! When the Goblin Gangsters dealt damage to enemies, they prioritized changing the damage into forcibly taking one item from the opponent! The stolen item could be candy, keys, wallets, or even magic cards. Most importantly, it might even directly release the opponent's soul binding!
If the tier was high enough, one could use the stolen item immediately! However, it could only snatch purple rare cards at most as orange epic cards couldn't have their soul binding released against the owner's will.
