CH.363 Bad Reaction to Healing
A few more days had passed since our visit to the Hero’s country, and thus the day we were going to deal with the next fissure ca. Unlike last ti, where I went to the location a day early and used Dinsional Fissure, the spell card, to open the fissure before having Exodia repair it, this ti, we were going there on the day Sicily told us the fissure would appear. We would then keep watch and see how a fissure appears naturally.
The group that was going was just , Alice and Lua. Agunan was a little disappointed that I didn’t allow him to co, as he wanted to exercise against sothing that wasn’t my monster, but I just promised him that I’d take him and Ria next ti, and he let it be. And let’s be honest here, no one else is ready to take on the fissures yet. They don’t even have Card Summoner. After my eting with the King, I swear I’ll take them to TinaWood and I’ll try to get them the skill. Well, they will have to actually fight for it.
But that is for later. For now, let’s head to where this fissure will appear and look over it. The location was near the Ruiso and Narra kingdoms border, but just on Ruiso kingdom’s side, so we didn’t have to worry about crossing the border. And as I’ve said previously, it was basically in the middle of nowhere, so we didn’t have to worry about the people.
As for the battle plan we had, well, let’s just say that it is interesting.
“... It’s just a forest.” Alice comnted as we opened the canopies of the Victory Viper I rode and the Gradius the girls were in.
“That’s good.” I told her. “At least no humanoids live in this area, so we won’t have to warn them.”
“I’ll send out a few Option tokens to make sure.” Lua said, as she pushed a few buttons on Gradius to send out a few smaller surveillance drones from the ship.
“Make sure they check out for anything resembling a black or purple lightning bolt. That should be a precursor to a fissure, if the report from Alewatch is correct.” I reminded her.
“Yes, I will.”
After a bit of scouting, Lua’s drones found the precursor to the fissure, so we could get onto the next step.
“Alice, help clear the area.” I requested, as I started the forest clearing off with a card. “Burning Land.”

Effect: Each ti you gain Life Points, inflict 500 damage to your opponent.

Her effect would help deal extra damage. In theory, it shouldn’t be necessary, but it might help if the SS-rank monster can resist so of the effects we planned on using.
“... maybe I should summon one more. No, two more.” I pondered. I know this strategy should work, but what if it doesn’t? Summoning two more monsters will be no issue. Actually, let’s make it three. “I summon Cure rmaid, Spirit of the Breeze and White Magician Pikeru.”

I quickly explained the strategy to my new monsters, and we were ready to begin.
Ti to activate the first Spell card.
“Vengeful Bog Spirit.”
Spoiler

Brian and I were both unsure if this card would be necessary, but as it should keep the appearing monster from attacking for just a bit, it should buy enough ti to activate the next cards, so we decided that it would be worth it.
And just in ti too, because soon after the card was activated, the fissure fully cracked open and a large monster appeared from it. It was a huge wolf monster, not inferior in size to the behemoth Alice defeated near Alewatch. Mia quickly identified it as a Fenrir, an SS-rank wolf monster.
With just a quick look towards Brian, who was already chanting the summoning chant for Exodia, I got to work.
“Paralyzing Potion.”
Spoiler

This was the first part of the plan. We don’t have to worry about the monster, if the monster is fully paralyzed. And if the potion doesn’t work, Alice will use Swords of Revealing Light, Shadow Spell and Spellbinding Circle to bind it up.
Luckily for us, it seems that the combination of the Bog Spirit and the Paralyzing Potion was enough, as the Fenrir was not moving at all.
“Alright. Next card. Life Equalizer.”

Brian told that when at first he began looking at how this could be done quickly, he really struggled to co up with an answer. That was when he realized that monsters like this should have a ton of HP. And since I only have a bit over 3000 HP, as long as the monster has over 11,000 HP, this card should instantly bring it down to 3000, which is just a bit under my own max, so I won’t take that big of a hit. And since the card activated and took effect, his hypothesis seed to have been correct.
Okay. The Fenrir should be at 3,000 HP. Let’s deal with that next.
“Bad Reaction to Simochi.” This was the secret trump card Brian wanted to use. With it, I could use healing magic to do damage to an opponent. And unlike most magic, healing magic isn’t reduced by my opponent’s defense, so I’ll do what Brian called ‘true damage’ to the opponent. The card will also keep any regeneration of the Fenrir at bay, so it can’t even heal itself.

Next up. “The Paths of Destiny.”

As I activated the card, two large coins appeared. One above my head and the other above the Fenrir. They began to flip through the air, eventually landing either heads or tails. Mine landed on tails, while the Fenrir landed heads, the worst possible outco.
The pain the card inflicted on wasn’t pleasant and caused to fall to my knees, but I had no choice but to take it. And as soon as it was over, Cure rmaid, Spirit of the Breeze and White Magician Pikeru got to work healing . And just like , because of Bad Reaction to Simochi, the Fenrir also should have just taken 2,000 points of damage, instead of healing for that amount. And with three heals, Fire Princess’ effect should deal 1,500 damage to the wolf killing it.
That was the correct calculation at least, but it didn’t work, as after the fire subsided, the Fenrir was still very much alive. Though it only seed to be hanging on by a thread.
“Miss. We’ll take it down.” Fire Princess said, preparing to attack.
“No!” I quickly said. “I’ll do it.” I then rose up from the ground, looking directly at the Fenrir, as I began to chant. “Light. Bright beam of healing energy. Fly from my hands and heal my target. Healing Light Beam.”
It was a spell to be used to heal your teammates from a distance, but because of Bad Reaction to Simochi, it will hurt the Fenrir instead. I looked as the beam of healing light collided with the beast, and after just a second of contact, it seed to be enough as the light left the eyes of the beast, and it fell to the ground.
I was happy that the strategy mostly worked. Sure there might have been just a minor problem with Fire Princess’ effect not ending the wolf, but it was nothing major. Now, let’s just wait for Brian and Exodia to close the fissure.
[Brian POV]
I was happy to see that the strategy Lua and I ca up with worked like a charm. Life Equalizer really put in a ton of work, and I should keep that in mind for the future. Being able to bring an SS-rank down to just 3,000 HP is a huge advantage, and with most people having around or under 3,000 HP, it really shouldn’t be a threat to the person activating the card.
Actually, when coming up with this strategy, I ca up with another one that was even more effective, but ca at a very great cost. It’s called Self-Destruct Button.
Spoiler
[collapse]
If activated, it would instantly kill both the SS-rank monster and the person who activated it, but then I could just use Monster Reborn to resurrect the person that used the card. It was crude, it wasn’t a good idea, but it would work. And from the limited testing I did in the Factory, no SS-rank monster can resist the Self-Destruct Button, except for those that have under 7,000 max HP, and from what Laura knows, there aren’t many of them. So ghost-type monsters do though, so even Self-Destruct Button isn’t 100% reliable.
Of course this Fenrir should have had max HP of around 15,000 or so there was no issue. Now let’s just wait for Exodia to close the fissure and we’ll be done here.
“Alice, Lua. Can you two deal with that worm?” I asked the two. Exodia was almost finished with the fissure, but an A-rank monster, an eartheater, aka. a giant worm, had popped out of the fissure just before Exodia finished repairing it.
“Lua. Try healing it so that it will flinch. I think I can bring it to the surface if it doesn't move.” Alice quickly ca up with a plan and ordered Lua.
“I can’t. I can’t use healing Healing Light Beam if I don’t see the target.” Lua quickly answered.
“... Then … Brian!” Alice called to . “Can you borrow a Smashing Ground?”
Spoiler

“Sure.” I agreed, as I got the card out of the Collection. When did Alice learn my cards well enough that she could na a specific card on the fly? Or is it just that one specifically? Maybe she studied up on it for her up and coming earth attribute, like how Lua already has Spirit of the Breeze to prepare her for wind attribute. I do know Alice sotis makes new spells based on my Spell cards, so it might be possible.
With the card in hand, I threw it towards Alice while guiding it with Telekinesis, until I felt Alice’s Telekinesis take over and guide the card to her hand. She then quickly said the card’s na to activate it.
A giant hand then appeared out of nowhere and struck the ground. It then raised back up, with a worm in its grasp.
“Spellbinding Circle.” Alice then activated the next spell to make sure the worm couldn’t run away. It also did confirm that the worm survived the Smashing Ground, as you can’t equip Spellbinding Circle onto an already dead monster.

“Alright Lua. Go ahead and blast it with so healing magic.” Alice said.
“... for so reason that sounds wrong, but sure.” Lua agreed and finished off the worm, as Exodia closed the fissure.
And with that, we were done, and I got my System reward for dealing with this problem. I think Alice and Lua also got so rewards, but I didn’t ask, so I’m not sure.
I then installed Forest onto the forest ground, just so it would help regrow the woods that we burned down to be our battle arena, and even added Rain of rcy as a bonus to help the growth.

And for dealing with this fissure, I unlocked a new set, Cyberdark Impact. And about ti. It has been forever since I got one.
