Chapter 280 The Dark Game that Comes to the World

"Shocked, the mysterious player revealed his true face and turned out to be a middle-aged uncle...

etc!Audience friends, there is important news coming from the backstage. This person is Serad, the leader of the military organization "Tiniyala Restoration Army" in the Northern Tribal Alliance!
This person had frequently invaded the invaders in previous wars, harassed Northern Xinjiang, and even caused the death of many mages in the mage legion! "

As soon as the host said this, the audience roared again.

"I've heard of this guy, he seems like a very scary guy!"

"Guard! Where is the guard? Why don't you arrest him?"

"It's impossible for a guy like this to come here to play cards. Is he planning to carry out an attack?"

"What did the organizers of the event do to make such a big mistake?"

Serad listened to the noise at the scene, raised his head slightly, and looked around with contempt.

At this moment, there was a strange black-red aura lingering around him, exuding a strong sense of ominousness in the field of vision of the "Eye of Secrets".

The organizing committee did not interrupt the competition, but urged the host to continue.

The host was slightly stunned and had no choice but to continue introducing his opponent.

"On the opposite side is player Domu'an from East Lena Mage Tower. Player Domu'an is an elite apprentice of the 29th class of East Lena Mage Tower (a disciple of Diego and others). He has both talent and virtue and is deeply loved by the teachers and teachers of the academy. The students love it.

Did you hear the noise at the scene?Those were his friends and classmates cheering for him..."

During the host's introduction, Roland appeared in the VIP room in a corner of the venue.

In this special secret box, several large sofas arranged in a zigzag shape face the thick glass wall outside, forming a viewing venue like a giant screen.

Roland sat on the sofa in the middle, with Atali on his right as a personal escort, and behind him stood the cat-eared girls Nicole and Rila.

On the sofa on the right, Al and Princess Rosa were mixing drinks and cutting fruit for everyone.

Opposite the two of them was the green dragon Trina with her legs crossed.

She had a bored look on her face, rolled her eyes at Roland several times, and couldn't help complaining: "You guys are too scared to death. You even invite me over when you come out to watch a game. I don't know what I'm preparing for recently." Take a long sleep to recuperate your body?”

Roland said: "Sister Cuihua, this is called stability, not fear of death... Also, you haven't forgotten that you are still receiving the salary from me, right?"

Trina was shocked when she heard this, she really almost forgot.

This is because the Arcane Committee assigned Roland a guard team composed of Gang Kidd, Atali and others. They took over the defense around Roland as soon as they arrived, leaving Trina with nothing to do.

At first, Trina thought she might lose her job, and was worried for a while. But later she found out that Roland was still providing supplies as usual, and she gradually let herself go.

Now that Roland mentioned the salary issue, he suddenly felt short-handed and soft-spoken, and he lost his temper.

She snorted and changed the subject: "Why is this guy Serad here?"

Roland said: "I specially invited him here."

Trina asked strangely: "You?"

Roland said: "He has in his hand the legendary card Xingtian that I personally crafted."

After all, Trina was also a dragon who once had a fragment of her godhead. When Roland said this, she immediately understood what was going on.

She muttered: "I always feel like you don't have any good intentions..."

While he was talking, the competition on the stage had already begun.

In this round of competition, Domuan used parts from the Siris magic card, which are combinations of characters from various historical dynasties and different romance stories.

Such a deck cannot use special event cards such as the Three Friendships in Taoyuan or the Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu, nor can it play its due role in certain specific scenarios.

But one good thing is that it is extremely flexible.

He can freely mix and match with limited financial resources to form various tactics and deck variations that he is satisfied with.

For example, he knew in advance that his opponent was the Tinyala Restoration Army deck that held the northern barbarian card, and had arranged various means in advance to target the warriors.

In the first few rounds of the game, he laid out various spell traps, successfully slowing down Serad's pace of laying out the field and putting him in trouble.

But just when everyone thought that Domian could continue this advantage, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

Talmud and Gian appear.

The heroic spirits of these two warriors appear on the card, and with the support of the on-site magic circle, they are projected in the form of phantoms, lifelike.

This is the origin of the word "phantom" in the phantom magic card.

In the original design, the casters summoned the spirit of the contract through projection.

Gradually use the fake to cultivate the true, and condense the real entity.

Roland applied the "Eye of Secrets" to himself in time. As expected, he saw that the surrounding void was dim and a huge black screen enveloped the arena, making the two phantom figures appear in an abnormal state shrouded in black and red smoke.

Dom'an's body glowed with a hint of aura.

That's the buff effect of the spell fighting against.

He was given heroic qualities in advance to avoid the influence of "Fear" and other spell effects.

It seemed that there was a conflict between the spiritual light on his body and the surrounding environment, which made Domian notice something abnormal. He stared at the phantom in front of him with some doubts, and felt that the two figures were lifelike, almost as if they were haunted.

He was not told the inside story of the dark game, but he had noticed something was wrong.

"Is this the trick you used before? Look at me, character card Rain Master, come out!

I replaced the characters in battle with reinforcement cards and summoned the epic character Rainmaster... Because of the resonance of elements on the field, I obtained the appearance effect "Clouds and Rain", and forcibly extracted the weather card Rain from the deck to apply moisture to all characters. Effect.

Because of the presence of electrostatic stones before, the enemy battlefield showed a static electric field state, causing a round of static electricity attacks...

In addition, the field turned into a muddy state, and rain, fog and water droplets hindered the warrior's "Charge" skill..."

Domian reported the chain reaction after summoning the character like a storyteller.

This is the embodiment of the knowledge of magic cards. People who deeply understand these inner rules can easily design a large number of tedious and complex tactical systems to manipulate their opponents at the palm of their hands.

Since the game is ever-changing, any different card in the field or in the deck may lead to different results. Therefore, it is difficult to completely imitate the essence of the game if it is neither fish nor fowl.

This in turn forms a secret skill that is commonly used and deeply mastered by individuals, and forms a competitive nature.

The host shouted excitedly: "As expected of a top student from the Mage Tower, Player Dom'an used careful planning to put Player Serad's summons into a deadlock, and his always-unfavorable decapitation tactics were contained.

Talmud and Gian failed to launch a surprise attack, but instead trapped themselves in the rain-rich mud!
In the end, the Domuan player ended this round of tactical deployment by summoning "Ice Storm", and the two tribal warriors were frozen into ice sculptures. "

The audience cheered loudly.

Everyone in Donglina Mage Tower also praised him.

"A set of combos, using electromagnetic, freezing and other reactions one after another. This is applying what I learned from "Theory of Higher Elements"!" "The next step must be ice crushing or high-temperature evaporation reactions. I remember his cards. There are special high-temperature rays in the group that can create a large amount of high-temperature steam in an instant, which can not only burn the enemy, but also obstruct the line of sight..."

"Excellent means of field control and combos. This little warrior should be manipulated at will by our Master."

"That's right, hahahaha!"

However, at this moment, the host's exclamation suddenly sounded.

"What's going on? A terrible aura suddenly emerged from player Serad. Also, why did the lights in the venue suddenly go dark?

No, what's going on over there? "

In a corner of the venue, Archmage Bolas, who was patrolling, suddenly cast his gaze over with a solemn look on his face.

In the VIP box, Roland also let go of his hand on Atali's waist and stared solemnly.

Even outside the venue, pedestrians passing by stopped and stared in astonishment at the gloomy cloud hanging over the building.

The sky quickly darkened, with a heart-stopping bloody light.

Under the gaze of the same "eye of secret magic", a huge shadow like a palace enveloped the scene and wrapped the arena.

In the audience, more and more people realized something was wrong and screamed.

"Damn it, why did I see a huge shadow inside?"

"Why has the arena changed? It seems very ancient."

"What exactly is that?"

Serad opened his hands and laughed loudly: "The time has come. I call you sincerely in the name of a hunter. My Lord, 'Headless War God Xingtian'... please come to the world!"

As the huge magic circle lit up, the figure of a headless man appeared, and the solid blood spread out, showing boundless terror.

"This...is this Xingtian?"

"The Xingtian who dances with his relatives, the one whose fierce ambition is always there?"

“This card has never appeared on the market, and he actually owns it?

"No, no, something doesn't seem right. It's not an ordinary phantom card. It seems to be a real existence!"

"He, he, he... he is summoning the evil god?"

More and more people are surprised and frightened.

A large number of emotions arising from this were as thick as smoke, and the sky above the duel ring became increasingly dense, making the scene more condensed and real.

Roland suddenly stood up and said, "Dom An seems to be in danger and must be rescued as soon as possible."

real, real...

"Dark Game" has arrived!
……

"Warning! Warning!

Divine invasion detected!

Alignment is lawful and neutral!

The identification mark is 'Game Duel Arena', the threat level is five, and the corresponding level alarm has been sounded..."

Just when Roland stood up, the warning voice of the tower spirit sounded in the mage tower, the high-level office, and the place where Archmage Watson and others were on duty.

After a while, several high-level mages gathered together, ready to obey orders at any time.

Archmage Watson was communicating with Archmage Bolas using the "Communication Technique". He glanced at the people who were coming and said calmly: "Someone has touched the dueling rules of the dark game in the competition and is trying to kill people to refine their souls and win. 'Sacrifice'...

The event organizing committee has already made a plan, so don’t ignore it for now! "

Several high-level mages breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Have the people from the Tower Card Association made arrangements? Then we can rest assured."

Archmage Watson said: "That's right, we don't need to worry about the things on the field. We just need to be careful to prevent Agates and his Dag brothers from taking the opportunity to cause trouble."

As Master Watson said, the organizing committee has already made arrangements.

The moment they observed the arrival of the dark game, several high-level mages who were already on standby reacted immediately.

One person silently activated magic, replaced some cards in Dom'an's deck, and secretly informed him using "message": "Dom'an, don't panic, just pretend that nothing happened and continue the duel!"

"Ok?"

At this moment, Domian was drawing cards, and what he got was a legendary card that he had never seen before.

A look of surprise flashed across Dom'an's face, but as an elite apprentice, he still had some authority after all, so he quickly calmed down and followed the voice.

"I used the reinforcement summoning rules to summon the legendary card Adventurer Doze to appear..."

Bright light illuminated the surroundings, and a handsome young man with shining blond hair appeared on the duel stage. His solid figure carried a reassuring aura of companionship, which actually blocked the dark aura that was constantly eroding towards Dom An.

"Okay, that's it!
Contract spirits can fight against contract spirits, and the power of the same source they possess can bring the battle back within the rules of duel.

As long as there is a contract spirit present, the opponent's contract spirit cannot bypass the battle situation and attack you directly! "

The high-level mage from the Card Association secretly encouraged him.

It turns out that the previous times were due to the lack of corresponding contract spirits on the field, and the rules of the dark game directly punished Serad's opponent for defeat.

After summoning the spirit of the contract in time, even the lowest level slime can pass the "rules" to block attacks from characters on the field to duelists.

But at the same time, the arena took on the form of a balance that was half virtual and half real, and the soul of the corresponding legendary card Adventurer Doze was placed on it, like a sacrifice being offered on the table.

When Roland saw this scene, he immediately thought of the introductions Blaize and Moreira had given him before.

"That's the 'sacrifice'..."

"What 'sacrifice'?" Atali and Princess Rosa cast curious glances.

Trina answered on behalf of Roland: "In the rules of the dark game, there are no sacrifices and no duels.

Its essence is a ritual of soul sacrifice, either the spirit of the duelist, the spirit of the contract, or even both at the same time.

The losing party will be robbed of part of the soul's power, becoming weak, frightened, and severely damaged, while the winner can be consolidated and strengthened.

This is the key to neutralizing the poison of faith and cultivating the spirit of contract! "

Roland added: "Yes, ordinary people have always believed that only gods or divine creatures can use the power of faith, but in fact, there are contract spirits who can rely on this sacrificial ritual to absorb and refine the power of faith. Transform and cultivate your own divinity.

This can also be understood as a shortcut to the road to godhood! "
