But Du Kana was swift. When her attempt to control proved ineffective, and seeing Shi Qi targeting her, her figure vanished like a phantom and reappeared beside the main body of Chen Runyu’s Card Spirit.
As she approached the long flower path, her spiritual power plumted rapidly. Ruan Chunen reacted swiftly; he could not move, but branches quickly grew, ready to support Chen Runyu at any mont.
But just as Du Kana was about to strike, the Spirit Card Master controlling her suddenly saw a blur before his eyes.
The various chaotic noises at the center of the field also finally ceased, because what was before their eyes—beca invisible.
More accurately, it wasn’t that they couldn’t see, but a strange scene had appeared.
The illusion before them changed. It was unclear where they were, but the surroundings were desolate, with a narrow, winding path materializing before them.
A young girl in a European-style white lace dress, carrying a load of firewood, appeared on the path.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the dress was sowhat dirty and washed so pale white it was unclear how long it had been worn.
The girl humd a ballad, the bundle of firewood on her shoulder weighing down her small fra, causing her to hunch slightly. Yet she didn’t seem tired at all; her expression was so cheerful.
"Maria!"
Maria’s controller, the Support, reacted almost instantly, his expression changing as he recognized the girl before him.
The appearance of a Card Spirit is lifelike, just slightly ethereal when manifested, but the facial features are much the sa.
Impossible, where is this?
He was clearly in the middle of a match.
Another set of footsteps ca from behind. The Support turned his head to see a tall, masked man following Maria; he was silent and stealthy, and Maria seed completely unaware of him.
The Support instinctively felt sothing was amiss. He tried to speak, but found that neither of them seed to notice him.
He had never experienced anything like this and didn’t even realize he had fallen into an illusion.
Maria walked forward step by step. Not far down the road, the Support saw a dilapidated cottage emitting white smoke.
In front of the cottage burned a bonfire, and a man she hadn’t seen in a long ti appeared. Maria was a bit surprised, "Dad?"
"Maria, Maria..."
The pale-faced man offered an eerie smile. Looking at Maria’s frail body, he swallowed, his eyes turning a bloodshot crimson. "Maria, your little brother hasn’t eaten in a long ti. Dad... Dad is hungry too..."
Maria did not yet feel scared. She put down the firewood and subconsciously said, "I’ll go find so fruit for you."
"No need, no need, Maria. Dad wants to eat at, at, fresh at..."
His greedy eyes, glowing green, sent a subconscious chill down the Support’s spine.
The professional player, who spent his days in the training room, had never witnessed such a scene. He instinctively scread, his voice cracking with desperation, "Maria, run! Run!"
Maria still didn’t understand. She just felt that her father’s current expression was a bit terrifying, and hesitated as she stepped back.
With that step back, she bumped into a man’s body.
She turned around. The masked man was looking at her, the black eyes beneath his mask glinting ominously.
Maria wanted to run, but it was too late.
Next, the Support witnessed a scene that shattered his psyche: Maria was killed, her flesh carved from her bones...
The mad father, the hungry brother, and Maria, in her last monts, seed to see her long-lost mother.
"No—"
"No, no, no—"
Maria’s controller, the Support, was the most affected by the illusion; he almost vividly saw that scene unfold, while earth-shattering changes had already taken place in the arena.
The illusion Su Daji created could briefly trap five Spirit Cards, but she hadn’t specifically targeted the others—only Maria’s controller.
The other four broke free from the not-quite-real illusion, but only the Support was still trapped within it.
All this happened in just a few seconds. By then, Dou Yuan’s control had already caught up.
Due to the brief appearance of the illusion, Du Kana’s assassination attempt was aborted. By the ti her controller snapped back to reality, Shi Qi’s Clueless Da had appeared before him. The Spirit Card Master’s pupils contracted; he could only command Du Kana to clash head-on with the opponent.
The Defense Angel freed herself from the illusion, still intent on protecting Alice.
Alice’s ability activated again. Her scream resounded once more, and the brutally realistic physical attack even caused Chen Runyu to pause for a mont.
At that mont, Wen Jiang directly changed Su Daji’s form.
In a flash, a gigantic woman with fox tails appeared in the arena.
She was devastatingly beautiful, soul-stealingly seductive. A re gesture could drive people mad; a simple smile could make anyone willingly offer up everything. Under her smile, several Spirit Card Masters from the Crying Angels Association beca slightly dazed. The next mont, Su Daji silently released her enchanting toxic gas, accurately ensnaring all Card Spirits in the arena.
The barrage went crazy.
[Holy crap, what a fox beauty!!!]
[AAAAAH, Su Daji! I need rchandise for this Spirit Card! I need rchandise for this Spirit Card!!]
[Mount Flower, I’m not kidding! Release the rchandise for this Spirit Card right now! Don’t make kneel and beg you!]
[GIAO! A Dual-Change Card! I thought we wouldn’t see Dual-Change Cards anymore! This Card Maker is so damn aweso!]
[What’s her ability? It looks like in fox form she briefly controlled everyone.]
[Sothing’s not quite right with the Support from Crying Angels...]
The Support from Crying Angels couldn’t hold on any longer. Wen Jiang’s illusion had delivered a fatal blow, and his spiritual power plumted. Chen Runyu’s Seven-Star Butterfly had also approached. Under this dual assault, his body turned cold, and he fell into a dazed state, still not right. Su Daji’s current form was particularly effective against Spirit Card Masters like him, and within a few seconds, a red thread appeared in Su Daji’s hand.
That red thread stretched all the way to Maria.
Maria seed to glance down at the thread, then lifted her gaze to Su Daji. Su Daji offered a captivating smile, and instantly, the live stream chat filled with people declaring they wanted to lick their screens.
The attacker from Crying Angels looked at the red thread, instinctively feeling sothing was wrong.
Indeed, the next second, Maria suddenly spun around, facing them.
Attacker: "..."
Maria’s tears began to flow as she started to hum.
BOOM—
This was Maria’s full, unmitigated lethal power, far beyond any previously diminished effects Wen Jiang might have shielded them from. The humming seed to bore straight through one’s skull, causing direct damage.
The attacker was already rapidly losing spiritual power. With Maria’s humming, he felt his chest tighten, and his mind went numb.
His heart began to THUMP, THUMP, beating wildly.
The substitute player reacted the quickest: "Not good! That Spirit Card has reverse-control! Maria has turned against us! Lakin, stop using your ability, now!"
Lakin was the Support’s na. He hadn’t been right since erging from the illusion; dazed and confused, he hadn’t reacted at all.
