My anime-style card deck is fine!

"Okay, now all we have to do is wait."

The girl in the kimono had a serious expression.

Beside her, the little girl called Hanako had collapsed to the ground, her face ashen and her breath weak—this was to be expected, as the entity that had been attached to her had appeared on the field.

Chapter 231: Dead Card

Cards are the crystallization of a card maker's imagination.

It's a soul, a story, history, the past, a delusion... but these are things that only the living possess. So the question is, what about the cards of the dead?

The living thing is 'human'.

Those who are dead are naturally 'ghosts'—Ka is no exception!

……

Resentment was churning.

The power of the alien world spread out, and what crawled out of the doll's body were the remnants of the unjustly killed.

Cards are powered by card masters. Before reaching the gold level, silver cards or some excellent bronze cards will also give birth to their own card spirits.

However, the power of these card spirits is not enough to allow them to remain in this world.

Once the card master dies, these cards will also fall into oblivion.

This is [Dead Card].

Most card spirits will follow their card masters into eternal slumber, just as fantasies will eventually be shattered—there will always be card spirits that refuse to accept this fate and try to survive.

But as mentioned before, the card spirit's own power is insufficient to sustain its existence...

Then it's very simple to do.

—Find a 'new' card player!

Of the three people from the Sakura country, the little girl's name isn't Hanako—that doll is the real [Hanako]!

Hanako from the third room

"Hehehehehehe...!!!!"

A chilling laugh echoed through the thick fog.

The other contestants, who were suspicious and hesitant, suddenly changed their expressions, while the spectators on the outer edge who could observe the entire battle also exclaimed in surprise.

Because the laughter accompanied Hanako's effect!

"Come down with me..."

A little girl suddenly appeared on the body of the twelve-meter-tall giant.

The figure was like a child's simple sketch, devoid of color, with eyes resembling haphazardly tangled coils, and long, jet-black hair floating eerily in the air.

The mindless giant merely glanced down indifferently.

Then, without hesitation, he reached out and slapped the other hand.

Snapped!

The little girl was photographed as black smoke.

But a small black hole appeared out of nowhere beneath the giant's feet. Covered by thick fog and darkness, no one noticed it—but soon everyone would never forget this tiny black hole!

Because that enormous giant was like a piece of clothing twisted together.

In the blink of an eye, it was swallowed up by that black hole!

No, it wasn't a giant...

At the same time, the little girl's figure clung to the bodies of more than a dozen giants, and then she was pulled into the black hole the next moment.

"Tsk!" Mr. White Bear glanced behind him and couldn't help but click his tongue.

Because the gangsters who had just been helping him fire the gun also couldn't escape the little girl's effect and were pulled into the black holes one by one.

Even the thick fog that enveloped the entire venue felt like encountering a flushing toilet.

It was completely swallowed up by a tiny black hole in an instant!

Hehehehe...!!!

The little girl's hateful laughter echoed in the air.

Having lost its master and the support of its original fantasy, it is left with only the most basic form, like a simple line drawing, with only the long hair and the pair of hateful eyes still lifelike.

But this doesn't affect her abilities!

In particular, the prototype of her story is a well-known character of a wronged ghost!

—She, who was bullied to death, was able to drag all the minions and tokens that attacked her into the graveyard!

"Yoyo~"

The little deer, having lost the protection of the thick fog, quickly scurried to the side.

With the thick fog gone, the situation on the field became clear. The other participants, who were not yet clear about the condition of their followers, immediately discovered the miserable state of their followers.

Looking at both sides.

On the other side were giants and gangsters, and only the little deer looked harmless.

On the other side, the mechs and lions were alright, but that shadowy ghost didn't look like a good person!

Can't afford to offend...

The idea of ​​withdrawing from the competition immediately arose among everyone.

"What a pity, such a beautiful fog has been dispelled just like that." Wu Shanyu shook his head, looking at the little girl who had collapsed to the ground opposite him, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

His expression was displeased: "I wasn't originally planning to take it seriously, but I've changed my mind now."

"The Sakura's Hundred Demons, huh? After all these years, they're still playing this game." Eko recognized the little girl's true form and pouted, muttering, "Can't these people just play cards properly?"

"Perhaps, this is what cherry blossoms are like."

Amon was not surprised.

Japan borders China and has been deeply influenced by its culture. However, being located on a small island in a remote corner, the culture it learned inevitably went astray after crossing the ocean!

The concept of "mono no aware" (the pathos of things) flourished, and later movements like Bushido and ninjas were all continuations of this spirit.

They admire self-sacrifice and death, and are self-indulgent.

...and at the same time, feeling moved by others.

Amon looked at the little girl who had collapsed to the ground with some regret. The result of being possessed by Death Card was that her own spirit and consciousness completely took over the spirit and consciousness of another person.

Furthermore, the slot for your destined card is completely occupied by a dead card.

She has no future...

However, they have no time to pay attention to these things right now, because on the other side, with the fog gone, both the Mech God and the Flame Lion launched an attack at the same time!

They deliberately highlighted the role of the teddy bear to attract the opponent's attacks.

This maximizes the effect of activating the flower.

They wiped out a large number of giants and gangster animals in one go—but there were just too many giants, dozens of them. Even after half of them were cleared out, they still filled the entire area!

"Don't waste Hanako's effect!"

The girl in the kimono gave the order in a cold voice.

"Yes!" the manic Masamune shouted excitedly, "Attack! Attack!"

Without the giant's cover, the presence of the polar bear and Christa became too conspicuous, and the mech god and the fire lion charged towards them without hesitation!

"I was underestimated."

The White Bear Godfather exhaled a smoke ring and snapped his fingers: "You're so proud of killing some of my men? What if another batch comes?"

"I hope you can proceed."

With a snap of the fingers.

The gang's firepower squad, which Hanako had just wiped out, makes a dazzling reappearance accompanied by a summoning glow!

The White Bear Godfather has no offensive or defensive capabilities, but that doesn't matter—he doesn't need them because he has countless underlings!

Each card slot can summon three gangster animals.

Twenty-seven black animals of various shapes and sizes, wielding various firearms, instantly appeared behind the White Bear Godfather, aiming at the two attacking henchmen.

"Fire!"

With a shout of excitement from Eiko, a [Ammo] card was sent to the graveyard from her Extra Slot.

Reload!

The prepared gangsters unleashed their furious firepower on the Mech God and the Flame Lion once again, and the slightly subsided hail of bullets echoed throughout the arena once more!

"Futsu-no-Mitama!" the kimono-clad girl retorted defiantly.

The mecha god's energy bars activated instantly, creating a dazzling energy shield. At the same time, it swiftly stepped forward, blocking the flame lion.

The White Bear Godfather's abilities once again confirmed their target!

"Now's the time! I'll hold off those gangsters, you have your men take advantage of the situation..." the kimono-clad girl immediately ordered the manic man beside her.

But before he could finish speaking...

"Oh!"

Standing to the side, a 15-meter-tall giant suddenly kicked out, his massive size allowing him to instantly cover half the area, sending the unsuspecting fire lion flying.

As the Mech God charged forward, four or five giants suddenly rushed out in front of him. Although the Mech God reacted quickly and immediately drew his sword to kill them, he only managed to sever the arm of one giant before being pinned down by the other giants.

"Oops--!"

The girl in the kimono and the manic man both felt a chill in their hearts in an instant.

“You guys aren’t the only ones who know how to cooperate,” Amon chuckled from the other side.
