"At the start of the next turn." Vivian said, "The Phantom Spirit Dragon Chaos Body will recover its previous Spirit Value and enter a berserk state. It cannot be destroyed by battle because any damage caused by battle will be suffered by the opponent, and the damage it deals in battle is doubled. Also, during my battle phase, you cannot activate card effects."

The strength of the Phantom Spirit Dragon Chaos Body lies in its berserk state, but its weakness is also there.

Vivian must find a way to keep it alive until the start of her next turn. Although the Chaos Body has some resistance, having zero Spirit Value and no resistance to battle damage is its biggest weakness. The opponent can completely destroy it through battle.

The Spirit-Devouring Storm will dissipate at the start of Vivian's next turn.

Although Vivian's Soul Points limit will still be affected by the Spirit-Devouring Storm, her Liberation Fee limit will be completely lifted. This slight initial advantage is enough to change the tide of the entire duel. This is also a small favor given to the holder by the turn duration of the Event Card.

Do not be fooled by the fact that Vivian currently has only one Follower on the field and no hidden cards.

But no one knows exactly how many graveyard effects she has stacked into her graveyard through the effects of [Fantasy Beast Taming: Ma Liang's Brush] and [Fantasy Beast Taming: War Frenzy].

And how many of these graveyard resources are used to protect the Chaos Body.

"My turn, draw card." Shen Sui quickly drew a card from his deck.

"If Shen Sui cannot defeat An Wei in this turn, An Wei's recovery limit will be lifted next turn." Canglan, who was also once a professional Life Card Master, could still read the matches well. "As for the Beast Taming Card Set, once the recovery limit is lifted, it can unfold freely, right? Fantasy Beast Taming has many followers with graveyard effects."

"The holder's advantage of the Event Card." Tan Song said, "But Shen Sui isn't completely without chances either."

His mind flashed quickly through duels Shen Sui had participated in.

After being defeated by Shen Sui, Tan Song studied Shen Sui's duel recordings earnestly.

He is very strong, so strong that he doesn't seem like a rookie.

The strength of his deck doesn't resemble that of someone who has just become a Life Card Master for a few months.

He possesses at least three Soul Cards, among which the one named Alice, although not high in star level, has many forms.

The forms of Soul Cards aren't necessarily powerful, but as long as you have enough forms, you can always find one to handle the current situation.

So, if I were Shen Sui, facing this situation now, how would I respond?

The opponent has only one Follower Card on the field.

Zero Spirit Value, while possessing some effect resistance, has no resistance to battle destruction.

This means it can be destroyed through battle...

Wait?!

That form?!

A form frequently used by Shen Sui in the early days flashed through Tan Song's mind, one he often employed to end a duel before he drew out [Star Abyss White Dragon: Qishala].

[Red Lotus Fire: Alice]!

As for Alice being in the graveyard now, that's not an issue at all!

"Release [Spiritual Life: Radiant Lion] on my field." Shen Sui waved his hand directly to release the only remaining Follower on his field.

The liberation of the Radiant Lion also sent its final stacking material to the graveyard.

And this card is: [Substitute Puppet: Jamie].

"Activate the effect of [Substitute Puppet: Jamie]! By banishing her from the graveyard, I can add a multi-form Follower Card from the graveyard or banished zone to my hand." Shen Sui spread out the graveyard and returned Alice to his hand.

Immediately, a sequence of forms appeared in front of him.

Shen Sui had already drafted a plan and chose one of the forms without hesitation.

"Pay 5 Soul Points, normally summon! [Red Lotus Fire: Alice] on my field!"

"The burning red lotus fire! In my name, I summon your arrival!"

"Descend! Red Lotus Fire! Alice!"

With Shen Sui's call, a crimson flame red lotus bloomed on Shen Sui's field.

Back then, in order to save a friend, Alice bloomed with power, proudly standing opposite Vivian with a magic staff in her hand.

Vivian looked at Alice amidst the blazing fire, with determined eyes, resembling him who once saved her from the abyss.

She withdrew her gaze from Alice and focused on Shen Sui again.

However, this guy will probably never have that kind of gaze again.

The kind of look that would burn one's life with all one's might to save someone dear.

Because now, for him, there isn't a situation requiring such desperate efforts.

[Red Lotus Fire: Alice]?

Vivian recalled the previously reviewed material and immediately understood the effect of Red Lotus Fire.

******

Category: Follower Card
