Chapter 87 Dragon Crystal
Not all the spirits in the Magician's Resonance deck have a field or belong to a series. At least half of the Magician's decks do not have a main theme and are all single cards with high card effects.
Like the other two students from Orses, Pang Rui Tiger and Frant Lan, their resonating spirits are [Wang Hu] and [Light Horned Rabbit], respectively.
Cards without a field and cards not from a series have a very obvious drawback: they are difficult to search. Of course, if the resonance level is high enough, that is, if the bond is deep enough, then you can get them by chance in every duel.
The problem is that resonance needs to be cultivated, which means that you need to use monster cards with the same name as the resonating spirit to duel. Regardless of winning or losing, it is difficult to even get started when the resonance level is low, let alone duel.
So let's go back to the initial question: how do we get the same-named Magic Card of the Resonance Spirit into our hand?
Lan's deck was designed to be weak, and after Xing Liang helped her strengthen it, she could still play even without drawing the Light Angle Phantom Rabbit, so she went shopping without a care in the world.
But Tiger couldn't do that. Although Xing Liang helped him supplement other monsters and special summoning methods, he still wanted to use King Tiger to cultivate resonance in the duel. So he grabbed Nick and Ment and rushed to the card shop in the royal city.
Nick and Ment also wanted to see if the card shop in the royal city had any magic cards that could be used in their decks, so they hit it off and headed to the card shop.
As the capital, the royal city boasts a plethora of card masters. To meet their demand for cards, countless card shops of all sizes exist. While those smaller shops might have some rare cards, considering the limited stock, Xing Liang still took them to the "Senka" flagship store in the royal city.
Just like a card trading app called "XX Society," other users' shops may have cheaper cards and more unpopular cards, but it is undeniable that their official shop "Jihuancang" has more and more complete cards.
(Although the price per card is a bit higher, with more points, the same number of cards will seem cheaper to buy at other stores.)
"【The Witch of the Black Forest】can search for monsters with 1500 or less DEF from the Deck. Wang Hu has 1000 DEF, so it can be searched! Ah, it can only be activated by sending monsters from the field to the Graveyard, so it occupies a Normal Summon slot. Oh well, it's fine then."
"【Hybrid】may be possible, but trading three for one is too wasteful of cards. Are there any EARTH Beast-Type monsters that can be Special Summoned after being banished?"
Tiger went straight to the store to find the magic cards that could search for monsters, and was comparing the card effects with the help of the clerk.
Nick and Ment, finding it difficult to achieve a one-turn kill with their decks, started looking for high-attack monsters and ways to increase field attack.
"What do you think of this [Satellite Warrior]? Its effect increases its stats by 1000 for every card destroyed."
Mente rolled his eyes.
"Give me a break. A level 10 Synchro Monster? If I could synthesize this, why wouldn't I just summon Omega Sun? How many Synchro Monsters do you think I have in my graveyard? At most, I could raise its ATK to 4500."
Of course, they didn't insist on these things. Their duel with Xing Liang had taught them firsthand that no matter how high their attack power was, it wouldn't stop Xing Liang from beating them into idiots.
"Wow, your monster's attack power is so high (praising), is it okay if I pay half of my life points to activate the Tyrannosaurus Rex effect (indifferent)?"
High-attack monsters instantly become easy targets.
"What? Unaffected by monster effects/Attack power restored (emotionless astonishment)? That's powerful, too powerful. Should I activate Weasel Burst?"
All monsters on the field are returned to the deck, and Weasel Rumble is a player-targeting effect, so many monsters' exit effects cannot be activated.
This was also the second lesson Xing Liang taught them: it is meaningless to blindly pursue high attack power.
Xing Liang, the guardian of this trip, showed his membership card obtained from the "Senka" branch in Orses as soon as he entered the store, and was now slumped on the sofa in the VIP lounge, dozing off.
He had already browsed through the magic card catalog, selected a few counter-trap cards, and then instructed the clerk to call him when Tiger and the others were paying.
Card shops mostly sell unbranded individual cards, and those with labels are ridiculously expensive. There are also some consignment cards, but if they were really good, who would consign them?
There might be a series that interests him, but if he buys it, he'll have to keep buying other accessory cards, and if he wants to upgrade, he'll have to buy even more cards... It'll snowball, and he'll spend more and more money, so he might as well not buy it at all.
Moreover, Xing Liang was in no mood to think about these things at the moment. One of the side effects of taking too many painkillers was drowsiness, and he really couldn't stand it and wanted to sleep.
There were still quite a few people in the store, mostly students, gathered in twos and threes discussing which magic cards to buy. From their conversation, it was easy to deduce that they came from different schools, and many of them were going to participate in an exchange tournament and wanted to further optimize their decks before the tournament.
Many valuable magic cards are displayed separately in glass cases, and a group of students are wandering around several of them.
"Luo Yi, have you found the magic card you wanted?"
"no."
Loy stood in front of the display case of "Jera's Angel," wrinkled her nose unhappily, and took out a magic card.
【The Miraculous Stone for Saving the Demon - Dragon Crystal】
Even though both the Lion Crystal and the Raptor Crystal have corresponding Miracle Forms, why can't she find the Synchro Monster corresponding to the Dragon Crystal anywhere?
Every time she asked the "Demon Savior Explorer," the answer was always, "He is on an important mission."
What important task left him without even a single magic card?
"He must do everything in his power to complete that task."
A spirit's power is diminished by having monsters of the same name that it can use. The more monsters of the same name a spirit is allowed to use, the weaker its true strength becomes.
In other words, for every additional person who possesses a Dragon Crystal, one more portion of their power will be taken away, and even a small amount will result in a loss of power.
According to the explorer, the Dragon Crystal even retrieved all of his name cards in the human realm, including the Magic Rescue Stone in Roy's possession, which the explorer had painstakingly kept.
More than three months ago, she sensed the faint aura of the Dragon Crystal in the south. Unlike the feeling of other strange stones, she concluded that it was the miraculous form of the Dragon Crystal.
She used this to question the explorer: "You promised to do everything in your power, so why didn't you give me the magic card? Someone's already using it!"
"Currently, only the eighth-rank being can mobilize the power of the dragon crystal, which means that being has come to the human realm."
The explorer's words immediately dissuaded Luo Yi from her plan to search for someone in the south. If it were someone who possessed a dragon crystal, it would be fine; she could negotiate to sell it to them at a high price or temporarily lend it to them. But if it was someone of the eighth rank, whether she could find them or not was another matter; she didn't think a rank-master would even bother with her.
She searched through almost every card shop in the royal city, hoping to find any unrecovered dragon crystals left, but obviously, there weren't any.
"【Infernal Dragon - Ogre Dragon Ghost】, can negate the activation of one of the opponent's Spell/Trap Cards each turn. Hey, what do you think, Ment?"
They could hear Nick and Ment talking behind them.
"You should read the effect carefully. It requires that you have 0 cards in your hand, just like Nianzhong's Dragon Crystal requires a WATER monster in the graveyard. You can only activate it if the prerequisite is met."
Wait, Dragon Crystal?
To her companion's surprise, Loy grabbed Ment, who was about to leave for the next display case.
"Excuse me, where is Teacher Nianzhong whom you just mentioned?"
