Chapter 164: Diana’s Bear Bond (4K)
Under the effect of “Bear Bond,” for every additional bear within a hundred meters that forms a bond with it, the stats of the Great Earth Bear increase by 200 points.
The maximum number of increases is three times.
“Roar!”
With its suddenly increased strength, the Great Earth Bear forcefully pushed back the Gigant, then with a mighty charge, it sent the Gigant staggering!
The Gigant seemed to feel humiliated and angrily swung its massive hand like a giant hammer!
But this powerful strike was successfully blocked by the Great Earth Bear!
“Earth Power” triggered.
A layer of yellow light surged from beneath its feet, restoring some of its lost mana value. It took advantage of this and retreated, guarding the Mana Guidance Ball…
…
“Is its defense increased?”
Wit was startled and instinctively drew two new cards from the top of his deck into his hand.
Then he glanced at them and immediately felt reassured.
“Forbidden Love” was among them!
Under the condition that the Mana Guidance Ball’s mana value was only 1000 points, a relatively powerful Mana Spirit could easily shatter it in one hit!
Turning the Mana Spirit that guards the Mana Guidance Ball into the final culprit to destroy it also had a faint sense of malicious pleasure.
However, Wit did not act immediately.
While commanding the Gigant to continue attacking, he summoned his second Mana Spirit.
It was not the “Magical Beast: Buck Deer,” but a new Two-star Mana Spirit.
…
[Card Name: Goblin Warrior]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ??]
[Race: Sub-human]
[Attribute: Combat Type]
[Mana: 300]
[Attack: 500]
[Defense: 300]
[Ultimate Skill: Goblin Whirlwind Slash]
…
The sub-human with long ears and a sharp nose, resembling a small demon, carried a crude shield on its left arm and held a rusted short sword in its right hand.
The Goblin Warrior materialized in a burst of light and then charged狞笑着 towards Diana’s Magical Beast!
As a One-star Mana Spirit, the overall stats were not high.
Even though this Goblin Warrior was not particularly strong, theoretically, it should be more than enough to deal with the polar bear.
Wit glanced at his hand.
Among the remaining five cards, apart from one “Forbidden Love” and one “Magic Bullet Spell,” the rest were even weaker One-star and Two-star white cards.
Such Mana Cards should not have been included in the deck originally.
But in the absence of other Mana Cards to replace them, using these to fill the deck was a desperate choice.
“Goblin Whirlwind Slash!”
Seeing the Goblin Warrior already charging with its sword toward the large white bear, Wit immediately commanded loudly!
“Ji ji!”
The Goblin Warrior responded to its master’s command. White light surged from its hand and climbed up the blade. Twisting its body while running, it spun over 180 degrees with a fierce horizontal slash!
“White, dodge!”
However, the polar bear chose to avoid the attack!
The polar bear responsible for rear defense in Diana’s strategy grabbed the Mana Guidance Ball and ran away with it.
The Goblin Warrior missed and jumped in frustration, yelling as it chased after the polar bear.
…
In the first year, where students haven’t yet learned to remotely manipulate the Mana Guidance Ball with mana, dodging while holding the ball is a very common tactic.
To counter this tactic, the simplest method is to summon another Mana Spirit to form a pincer attack.
After the usual summoning spell’s cooldown ended, Wit immediately prepared to summon his third Mana Spirit.
Even if this third Mana Spirit was weak, it could still serve as a blockade.
Overall, his strategy remained clear.
Following the plan, his advantage was significant.
Diana from the Noble Academy didn’t seem as powerful as he had imagined?
This thought just flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, Wit noticed Diana excitedly raising her Mana Card.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the Mana Card emitted an extremely dazzling light!
“Power of the Bear!”
Diana’s loud cry echoed throughout the field!
On the field…
The Great Earth Bear, which could barely fend off the Gigant’s attacks, suddenly changed its expression. Its entire body was covered by a thick layer of light.
It let out an excited roar, and power surged from every part of its body.
Visibly, muscles appeared on the Great Earth Bear’s body, and its form expanded significantly!
Though still not matching the Gigant, it now stood nearly three meters tall!
“Roar!”
In its roar, the Great Earth Bear finally released the humiliation it had endured throughout the round.
It ran two steps and, like a heavily armored war chariot, fiercely collided with the Gigant’s abdomen!
“Bang!”
The seemingly invincible Gigant was knocked flying!
There was a great commotion!
The students of the Noble Academy had already seen the power of “Bear Power,” but those from the Knight Academy were seeing it for the first time.
Robert outside the arena couldn’t help but worry.
But thinking about Wit’s “Forbidden Love,” he calmed down again.
“If it relies solely on brute force, it cannot threaten Wit.”
“In my opinion, Wit merely wants to try winning through direct combat, hence why he has prolonged the match.”
“Otherwise, Diana should have already lost.”
He muttered in the crowd.
But he seemed to receive cold treatment.
…
The sudden surge in power from the Great Earth Bear made Wit’s face stiffen. He instinctively stopped his usual summoning spell and took out “Forbidden Love.”
“No, it’s not over yet!”
Wit suddenly realized there was something wrong with his mindset.
He quickly focused his mind and roared, “Gigant, die charging!”
“Die Charging” was an extremely powerful ultimate skill, which inflicted heavy damage at the cost of half of the user’s maximum mana!
Although the Gigant had lost some mana due to the Great Earth Bear’s charge, it still exceeded half.
Following orders, the Gigant’s eyes turned red, and its already fierce aura became even more savage!
It steadied its stance and then charged at the Great Earth Bear with its thick legs!
During the charge, intense blood light erupted from its body, making it look like a terrifying beast!
But on the competitor’s platform…
Diana grew increasingly excited.
Her innate fighting talent made her eager for battle, and the Mana Spirits she summoned were all aggressive.
“No retreat, crush it head-on!”
The white light on the Great Earth Bear intensified, and “Bear Power” granted it an extra attack of “Star X300,” boosting its attack to a terrifying 1600!
This surpassed the peak level of a Three-star Mana Spirit.
Adding its natural burst power, its aura was fierce.
…
The Gigant and the Great Earth Bear!
Two enormous Mana Spirits collided violently!
Like two heavy trucks colliding.
Intense wind exploded outward from their point of contact.
Almost all the students held their breaths in anticipation.
“Roar!”
The Great Earth Bear’s strength overwhelmed the Gigant.
But the Gigant’s “Die Charging” also broke through the Great Earth Bear’s defense, causing severe damage.
Both Mana Spirits’ mana values dropped to zero!
…
“Third round, draw cards!”
Their atmosphere had completely changed from the beginning of the duel.
Diana quickly drew a card and then raised one of her Mana Cards with excitement, continuing to summon.
Wit, with a serious expression, drew a Mana Card just as quickly as Diana!
“Mana Summoning, Glorious Python!”
A snow-white python, no less in size than the Gigant, appeared in a burst of white light.
…
[Card Name: Glorious Python]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ???]
[Race: Reptile]
[Attribute: Light Type]
[Mana: 1400]
[Attack: 1400]
[Defense: 1400]
[Ultimate Skill: Sacred Light]
…
“It’s here, it’s here!”
Robert’s excited shout drew attention.
But no one cared about his embarrassment.
This was the first time Wit had publicly summoned his new ace.
The Glorious Python, with its balanced 1400 attack and defense, had virtually no weaknesses.
Its fine scales reflected the indoor lights, shimmering with white light.
A white gem adorned its head, and its eyes lacked the coldness typical of reptiles, instead showing a gentle warmth.
Compared to the Gigant, it was a stark contrast—beautiful and sacred!
It reminded one of the Moon Goddess before her eyes were open.
…
Dark slightly narrowed his eyes: This is a Mana Spirit befitting a Hero.
But the outcome was still uncertain.
…
Just a few seconds later, Diana also summoned her third Mana Spirit.
From the light emerged a giant bear spirit, appearing like a concentrated form of light!
Standing three meters tall just on four legs, its eyes showed depth and kindness.
It seemed aged, different from Diana’s other battle pets.
The youthful fighting spirit had faded, leaving behind the wisdom of experience.
This was the collective will of bears.
The spirit of all bears…
…
[Card Name: Bear Spirit]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ???]
[Race: Undead]
[Attribute: Light Type]
[Mana: 1400]
[Attack: 1700]
[Defense: 0]
[Ultimate Skill: Bear Soul Summon]
…
As a light-type energy cluster, the Bear Spirit had almost no defense, but it was immune to physical attacks, trading this for an attack that breaks the Three-star limit.
Its sole ultimate skill seemed to conceal mysterious and great power.
…
Diana, for the first time in public, summoned her only Three-star Mana Spirit.
Among the numerous useless cards, this “Bear Spirit” was an unexpected surprise.
…
The Glorious Python and Bear Spirit replaced the Gigant and Great Earth Bear as the most prominent figures.
At the same time.
“Bear Bond” triggered.
The Great Earth Bear’s attack and defense increased by another 200 points!
[Attack: 1800]
[Defense: 1400]
When everyone’s attention was drawn to the newly summoned Mana Spirits,
the Great Earth Bear gained a decisive advantage in its final standoff with the Gigant.
Wit’s pride, the Gigant, was sent away by the Great Earth Bear without using its “Rage” ultimate skill!
But from the blind spot of the Great Earth Bear’s view, a short sword suddenly struck, piercing the Great Earth Bear’s waist!
In the shadow, the Goblin Warrior’s vicious smile was revealed!
The Great Earth Bear’s mana value dropped to zero!
…
“Sacred Light!”
Wit raised the “Glorious Python” Mana Card to its highest.
The body of the Glorious Python and the Mana Card simultaneously emitted sacred white light.
It was a wide-range, all-encompassing skill similar to “Light of Mind”!
The Goblin Warrior’s vicious smile was concealed by the light.
The Magical Beast: Polar Bear, illuminated by the Sacred Light, dissolved like water.
The “Bear Spirit” facing it also saw its mana value continuously decrease.
With zero defense, the undead could not withstand the damage from the Sacred Light.
But at the critical moment,
Diana immediately activated the Bear Spirit’s ultimate skill.
“Bear Soul Summon!”
Even under the Sacred Light, the aged Bear Spirit remained calm.
The light composing its body constantly clashed with the Sacred Light.
Finally, a strand of white light broke through the barrier.
That strand of light drew a circle around it, and from the center of the circle, a pure white flower bloomed.
A new soul emerged from the summoning circle.
…
Upon seeing it,
Wit’s expression changed dramatically!
The bear soul re-summoned was none other than the Great Earth Bear that had been killed by the Goblin Warrior!
[Card Name: Great Earth Bear]
[Type: Bear Soul]
[Level: ??]
[Race: Undead]
[Attribute: Light Type]
[Mana: 1000]
[Attack: 800]
[Defense: 0]
[Ultimate Skill: None]
Wit did not know that the revived Great Earth Bear had become a white card with zero defense.
As the Sacred Light faded, the Bear Spirit still survived.
Added to the revived Great Earth Bear…
The pressure doubled!
Wit subconsciously placed his hand on “Forbidden Love.”
Whenever he found himself in trouble, he always remembered it first.
…
In the arena,
the Great Earth Bear, chasing the Goblin Warrior, slapped it dead.
The Bear Spirit tangled with the Glorious Python.
Even the gentlest creatures have a fierce side.
The two light-type Mana Spirits rolled, fought, and struggled intensely.
But physical attacks had little effect on the Bear Spirit, and the Glorious Python’s defenses were strong enough. Both Mana Spirits’ mana values decreased slowly despite the intense battle.
Having successfully eliminated the Goblin Warrior, the Great Earth Bear decisively joined the fray.
The Bear Spirit’s mana was depleted, and the Great Earth Bear pulled the Glorious Python, becoming a reliable frontliner.
The Bear Spirit finally unleashed its attack of 1700 points, reducing mana with each strike!
With the advantage of two against one, the Glorious Python was forced back!
…
Wit’s heart grew anxious.
His eyes darted around, quickly searching for the Red Side’s Mana Guidance Ball, and he finally found it behind the Bear Spirit.
“I don’t want to…”
He muttered softly.
Wit raised “Forbidden Love”!
Seconds later, the summon succeeded.
The fan mist released from “Forbidden Love” drifted into the arena and entered the Bear Spirit’s body!
The Bear Spirit abruptly paused.
Then its demeanor turned evil, and a sinister look appeared in its eyes.
The Bear Spirit was drawn to “Forbidden Love” and controlled by Wit in a single turn.
“Roar!”
The Bear Spirit suddenly roared, turning and striking the Mana Guidance Ball!
With its high attack, this blow could shatter the Life Barrier completely!
But the Bear Spirit did not do as Wit wished.
The raised bear paw never came down!
“My bond with the bear, can it be severed so easily by mere charm?”
Diana’s declaration shattered Wit’s heart.
