“Hahaha! This is the funniest joke I have ever heard. You think you can kill me. You dumbass the moment you stepped 500 meters within my range you were dead. I can make your whereabouts unknown with a mere thought you dumbfuq.” Kimble laughed his lungs out. He was confident about his origin card and its mysterious ability. To him he was not being overconfident rather he is overpowered thanks to his origin card.
Second Round, Arena 2, Dalton Wyatt Vs Kimble Wang
“3.. 2.. 1, Fight!”
“I chose You, Stone Viltronian. Use Summon Minions.” As soon as the Match started I did not hesitate and directly summoned the boss monster stone viltronian. And ordered it to summon 50 of the A-rank stone viltronian as a shield against Kimble’s weird attack. The arena was too small for me to summon the other 300 minions. Meanwhile, I activated my soul pupils and observed Kimble Wang’s every action, especially his finger gun.
Thankfully my reaction was faster and was able to summon 50 Stone Viltronians just in time to use their body to shield me from his strange and mysterious attacks.
*Bait**Bait**Bait**Bait*….*Bait*Similar to me Kimble, despite him looking down on me earlier, chose to attack me as soon as the duel started. As he knew once I was able to summon my army it would be difficult for them to defeat me. But he was one step too late, I summoned my minions before he could activate his mysterious attack.
As I summoned my Stone Viltronians, with my soul pupils I saw Kimble form a finger gun and chant ‘Bait’ twenty times in a row under a second. As Kimble chanted Bait continuously I saw a small green glue-like substance shout from his finger gun and fall on 20 of my Stone Viltronians. Kimble did not even aim but the small green glue-like substance shot forward and automatically seemed a target and attacked them. It seems Kimble was using a high grade passive homing card. Saving him the trouble of aiming. No wonder he said that I was as good as dead 500 meters within his field of range.
What’s interesting was that this green lifelike substance does not appear to be visible to the naked eye. If not for my soul pupils I would have not been able to see them. No wonder the recording equipment of the stadium did not record the green glue-like bullet-shaped substance when they investigated Josh’s disappearance.
But that was not the most notable part about Kimble’s attack. What I saw next was more shocking and unbelievable. It was the reason how this green glue-like bullet-shaped substance made a person disappear without a single disturbance or struggle.
After the green glue stuck about twenty of my stone Viltronians to a naked eye, it appeared as if they disappeared into thin air but I who saw the truth using my soul pupils knew the shocking and appalling reason behind their disappearance. The twenty Stone Viltronians did not just disappear, they were swallowed. All this happened so fast and silently that it appeared as if the stone Viltronians disappeared into the thin air.
Twenty Stone Viltronian vanished allowing me to solve the mystery behind Kimble Wang’s ability. The truth was that the Stone Viltronian did not just vanish but they were swallowed. They were followed by a bizarre creature. As soon as the green glue-like bullet stuck to the stone elementals a huge mouth appeared from the floor of the arena and swallowed only the stone elementals marked by the green glue. The creature was shaped like a whale but its physical state was like a hologram or a ghost. No, it did not have a physical state that is why it was not visible to the naked eye. The creature had a spiritual body instead of the physical body which allowed it to pass through the arena and swallow the stone elementals.
The creature’s mouth was so huge that it could swallow most of the arena but it was only able to swallow the stone elementals marked by the green glue leaving Kimble, Me and the rest of the 30 stone elementals untouched. Another noticeable aspect was that after swallowing the stone viltronians the whale-like spiritual creature vanished into the arena floor. Even with my soul pupils, I could not find its traces. It was as if it never existed in the first place.
Then I realised maybe it is hiding in another dimension or space or realm and would only appear when it senses the green glue-like substance. From what I have seen till now I can tell that it is near impossible for me to damage it or even touch it. This also meant that the Whale-like creature could not touch me or hurt me until I am marked by the green glue-like substance. This card ability was op but it also had oblivious shortcomings. Which Kimble took care of by equipping a high-grade homing card.
But still, there were some holes in Kimble’s tactics that are after shooting 20 bullet-shaped green glue he was open and sitting ducks. Sacrificing another 20 stone elementals I could knock him out with a simple landslide attack from the remaining Stone Viltronians. I did not necessarily have to sacrifice 20 of my stone elementals to get to Kimble. As long as I skillfully escaped the bullet-shaped green glue I could easily take care of Kimble.
If it were anyone else they could not pull what I am thinking of going to do because the green glue bullet is invisible to make eyes and is guided by a high-grade homing card making it impossible for any card apprentice to dodge the green glue bullet. But for someone like me who could see the green glue bullets with enough skill, I could escape the grip of the homing card and dodge the glue bullet.
Solving the mystery behind Kimble’s attack I no longer considered him or his ability a threat and decided to follow Corey’s footsteps and advertise my business. Kimble Wang’s mysterious ability had attracted a lot of audience attraction. They all wanted to see if Kimble Wang could continue his mystery in the second round of the tournament.
“Stone Viltronian, unsummon minions.” Seeing that the arena was too crowded for any kind of advertisement I ordered Stone Viltronian to cancel its summon minion skills.
Seeing me cancel my summon monsters Kimble was puzzled and soon got cocky thinking that I was trying to save me summon monsters from his mysterious ability and yelled, “What happened, are you worried that you will lose all your summon monsters to me? I thought you wanted to kill me. Two false relics my ass you’re not even worth a soul jade.”
“Summon armament: Stone Viltronian – Gauntlet form” after cancelling the summon minion ability of the boss monster Stone Viltronian I made use of the one time use Summon armament card that the referee had given to me before the start of the match as it was not a secret that I had a giant summons and if the situation called for it I would not hesitate to use it.
*Bait*Kimble once again chanted and shot a green glue bullet at me seeing that I made use of the Summon armament card which helps gain access to the stats and skill of my summons for my use. For others, Kimble’s ability may be a mystery but for him, it was just a trick with many invisible holes. Knowing the holes in his tactics he knew if I was fast enough I could defeat him even before his green glue bullets reached me so he did not waste any more time on trash talk and directly chose to finish the match while it holds the upper hand.
Though the green glue bullet was fast it was slower than an actual bullet. Therefore I could easily predict its trajectory with help of the updated Hive AI which made use of the bestowal Insight forecast. Since I could predict the trajectory of the green glue bullet I could have easily dodged it if it were not under the homing card effect. But I had another trick to overcome this homing effect of the green glue bullet that is to catch it with my Summon armament gauntlets.
After catching the green glue bullet I would throw the stone part marked by the glue bullet away using stone Viltronian stone manipulation ability before the whale-like creature makes its appearance. All this was possible thanks to the stats provided to me by my viltronian physique, 4 times refined mutated soul energy, summon armament turned stone Viltronian and finally the Southern watch combat arts card. With all these stats combined, I was fast enough to catch the green glue bullet and throw it before the whale-shaped creature made its appearance.
I was confident that my strategy to counter Kimble’s ability would work because I had already deduced that the creature was able to swallow the whole arena with its wide mouth but could only swallow the Stone Viltronians marked by the green glue bullet. Which meant as long as I was not marked by the green glue bullet I was safe and the creature could not even touch me.
