My anime-style card deck is fine!

"Go! Mr. Polar Bear!!"

Ai Ke stood beside him, excitedly raising her hand to cheer him on.

"Did you hear that, Miss's order?" Mr. White Bear said calmly, a cigar dangling from his mouth. "The target is that blind lion. Everyone, take aim."

"—Fire!"

Bang bang bang bang bang...! ! ! ! ! ! !

The incessant gunfire echoed throughout the arena. He had just been kicked away and hadn't even had time to regain his footing when he was forced to face the onslaught of gunfire from the gangsters alone.

In a panic, the Flame Lion could only barely hold the axe in front of it, trying to block the bullets.

But the next moment, a dark shadow enveloped him.

He instinctively looked up and saw a giant suddenly raise its foot and stomp down heavily on him—

"Hanako!"

"You're here~" The voices of the girl in the kimono and Hanako rang out at the same time.

The little girl in black reappeared.

With the sound of a toilet flushing, the giants who attacked the Flame Lion and squeezed the Mecha God were all pulled into the black hole, but the kimono-clad girl's face looked terrible.

His gaze dared not leave the area, and he could only ask in a deep voice, "How much more?"

"There are only twenty-one cards left. You have two more chances." It wasn't the little girl who spoke, but the doll in her arms, which turned its head and opened its mouth towards the girl in the kimono.

Inside the mouth was a very small stack of cards.

That's Hanako's deck!

Death cards are not so easy to manipulate, and death is not a realm that living people can touch. After being reborn as a death card, the vengeful spirit Hanako gained the ability to freely travel between the field and the graveyard.

She can curse those who have designs on her.

Then, using this ability, with the curse as a coordinate, she drags the target into the graveyard. This is the truth behind Hanako's ability—but this ability is not without its price!

The price to travel between reality and the graveyard is cards!

Each round trip requires banishing ten cards from the deck—this shouldn't be a big problem given the power of Hanako's effect, but the problem is that Hanako's deck is her original deck!

Regardless of how many cards the deceased card player actually possessed...

In the end, only forty-one cards remained; there were no more!

Chapter 232: Irregular Operation!

"The last two times?"

The girl in the kimono had a somber expression.

"No, it's three times," Hanako kindly reminded her from the side.

However, the girl in the kimono ignored it. She was well aware of the consequences of using up all her cards. At present, their dispute with the other side had not reached such a desperate point.

"Tsk—" Hanako's dissatisfied voice rang out, but she wasn't annoyed.

It's okay if we don't need to this time.

She has plenty of time, and time has proven countless times that anything, given an infinitely long time, will eventually happen!

She was already inanimate; time in reality meant nothing to her.

"You will all eventually use 'me' someday," Hanako said with a smile.

"That day will never come!"

The girl in the kimono glanced at Hanako on the ground out of the corner of her eye. Although she was just an ordinary doll, it made her heart turn cold—Hanako was the most stable one among all the dead cards.

They can even think and communicate like normal people, and even suppress their own desire to live!

It's really scary...

The girl's fear of Hanako only strengthened her resolve—there would never be a day when Hanako would be activated, never!

……

On the field.

Freed, Mech God immediately charged toward White Bear Godfather, but halfway there, a golden figure sped over, its long sword clashing violently with Mech God's katana!

"Qiang!"

Christa's gaze was serious and earnest, but the girl's figure could not stop the attack of the Futsu-no-Mitama mecha, and she was violently knocked away in the next moment!

But just for a moment is enough!

"Bang!" A huge figure suddenly pounced between the Mech God and Christa. It was a giant that leaped up from the corner and pounced directly on the field, cutting them off and intercepting them!

Before the mech god could attack, the giant suddenly flipped over.

Pressing down on the mecha god!

"Do you think this trick will work a second time?!" the kimono-clad girl shouted.

"Well, isn't this very useful?"

Amon's voice was tinged with laughter.

In stark contrast to the stubbornness of the kimono-clad girl, and because the sky was blocked by the overturned giant, the mecha god, unable to dodge, slashed the lying giant with a single blow.

But more attacks from giants followed.

Almost repeating the same trick, a giant foot suddenly appeared and kicked the mech god away, just like the previous fire lion!

But the Flame Lion and the Mech God were separated from then on.

And the distance between him and the White Bear Godfather and Christa is even more insurmountable!

"Bang bang bang bang bang...!!!"

White Bear Godfather didn't even glance at the fate of the Mech God. His master had already made a clear division of labor, and all he needed to do was turn that burning lion into braised lion's head!

The firearms never stopped.

Having just gained a brief respite from the giant's feet, the fire giant offered no resistance whatsoever under the relentless barrage of gunfire.

They could only passively endure the barrage of firepower...

the other side.

The mecha god that was kicked away by the giant was caught in the giant's hand while flying backwards. Before the mecha god could react, it was slammed to the ground!

"Pfft!" The mech god, which had been hit hard, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Or perhaps oil?

But he had no time to think about that now, because the giant had already raised his foot and was about to stomp down on him...

Boom! !

The mecha god was suddenly stomped into the ground.

"Futsu-mitama!!"

The girl in the kimono was shocked; she never expected things to take such a sudden turn for the worse!

You know, they used Hanako!

Hanako's essence is a Silver card, but because it is a dead card, it loses the distinction between Bronze and Silver. Just like Amon's Pokémon, after losing the suppressive power of a Silver card, it can still possess the strength of a Silver card!

This is undoubtedly exploiting loopholes in the rules.

I thought this was the time for them to slaughter everyone, suppress the prestige of Chinese students, and boost the morale of the cherry blossoms!

But the result was the opposite...

Our side was almost completely crushed by the opponent's superior numbers and teamwork!

Almost instantly at the start of the battle, their followers were forced to separate, unable to support each other—but their opponents were different, with their superior numbers and ranged firepower allowing them to freely unleash their power throughout the entire battle!

"Oh ho~ You didn't expect that, did you?" Wu Shanyu said with a smile.

She just enjoyed seeing the naive, unsophisticated look on the other side.

Ike's offensive drive is second to none.

This makes her cards and minions aggressive as well – Eko can keep attacking until her extra deck runs out of ammunition!

The other one is even more heavyweight.

Wu Shanyu knew what reward cards Amon received after the first final college entrance examination.

That picture of El Capitan in the sunlight.

It can directly grant its own plants invincibility, making them immune to being targeted in battle, and it can also plant three corn cannons in one turn—does she not know how outrageous this thing is!

In other words, this person is now using a giant. If they were to switch to a plant, it would be enough to make these three people question their existence.

"You guys are so weak."

Wushan Yu's last words made Masamune's eyes widen in surprise—he was already annoyed because his followers were being ravaged by gunfire and were barely holding on by relying on the effects.

He was even more frustrated and angry that he still failed to succeed even after using Hanako's cheat.

And yet I still get mocked like this!

"Calm down! Masamune!" The girl in the kimono immediately realized something was wrong and tried to stop her: "You can't activate the effect here!"

"...I can't calm down!"

The manic man was genuinely gritting his teeth.

This was the first time he had ever been beaten so helplessly—before this, he had thought that even if he wasn't the best, he was among the strongest of his peers in the world!

He's a Silver Saint!

A genius who could popularize silver during his university years lost so completely in his first meeting with his opponent!

"Go ahead and curse! I won't accept this absurd ending! Even if I'm accused of cheating or breaking the rules, my opponent is also a Silver player, so let's have a real duel!"

Masamune suddenly looked in the direction of his entourage; under the cover of artillery fire, that spot was shrouded in smoke and dust.
