Chapter 311: The Charitable Master Karoso?
Two days later, it’s sixteen to eight.
Today’s match is very important for Karoso because his opponent is the rival of Aileen from the original story.
Delving deeply into this line reveals a series of secret activities by the Church of Dawn Goddess.
After several days of battles, Karoso has become more skilled at facing ordinary knights.
When he saw his opponent, Karoso summoned his Sword Shield and a set of purple armor.
This match is not a sixth-tier battle.
It was mentioned earlier that people from fourth-tier to sixth-tier can participate in the match; as it goes on, those with lower tiers gain more advantages.
Those at higher levels not only have to return to their previous fighting styles but also need to prepare low-level card decks, and the total points will change to fit the current level, with extra points being unusable.
Those with a higher rank have more experience, but those with a lower rank can better adapt to their level and are not restricted.
Now Karoso is wearing a bracelet, and his magical strength and physical power have returned to the peak of the fourth tier.
"Hehe…" Karoso’s opponent is a young knight who also revealed his Sword Shield, "In the previous competition, to take care of you, the opponents you faced were all of the same level. Although you are young and your attributes have not fully developed, since you have just entered the sixth tier, your Mark of the Divine Favor can make up for this shortcoming."
"Others think you are at a disadvantage in battle, but in fact, you are not at all."
"If I were at the peak of the sixth tier, still a solid peak of the sixth tier, they wouldn’t even have the ability to fight me." Karoso pointed his longsword directly at the young knight.
[Name: Karoso’s Knight Longsword]
[Category: Equipment]
[Star Level: 4]
[Grade: Golden Legend]
[Job Restriction: Warrior]
[Introduction: Only those who possess at least one knightly spirit can use this weapon. Its former owner gave up their knightly spirit and could no longer unleash its power. We hope you can succeed.]
[Note: This equipment is part of a set. When three items from the set are used together, different effects will appear.]
Fortunately, this set of equipment still exists. It is the gear that Karoso originally adapted to. During this time, he has jumped levels like crazy, but he is still more skilled in peak fourth-tier combat.
He has come this far thanks to the uniqueness of the Buddha Rider.
As they used the Buddha Rider more, they adapted to it. Now, Karoso finds it much harder to win.
At that moment, Karoso finally faced an opponent who should be at his level.
If it were Aileen, Karoso might not dare to say he could win.
Karoso is still young, and the gap in fighting experience and attributes cannot be filled by the Mark of the Divine Favor or intensive training.
You should know, Karoso works hard, and others work hard too, but they are even more focused.
"That’s right, The Favored One crushes everyone of the same level. It’s so unreasonable. It has been hundreds of years since a non-church knight has become The Favored One… and church knights are not allowed to participate in this kind of competition." The young knight licked his lips, "You are very special."
"You are special too," Karoso said seriously.
"Hmph, I am not like you rich kids. I’m a commoner who has struggled hard to get here." The young knight sneered, "Today, you will stop here. No matter how popular you are, I will defeat you!"
"Let me show you how much stronger a commoner becomes through hardship compared to you, a rich kid!"
"Even if you are The Favored One, you still lack the mark of a warrior or a knight."
"The Card Maker’s spirit enhancement is also quite good," Karoso smiled and said. "You are far from using words to affect my mindset."
The young knight had already prepared a card, waiting for Karoso to summon the Mysterious Guardian at the beginning of the match.
Over these days, Karoso has been studied the most. The secrets of Karoso are no longer secrets, and various experts have figured out ways to counter his strategies.
But even if we analyze it, this thing is quite hard to target.
For example, the best solution is to use cards, but special cards need to be developed first!
With such a short schedule, this is an impossible task for the Card Maker.
They don’t have the materials that netizens have, nor the time, and they can’t make endless mistakes like netizens.
So, to address it normally, we can only look for weaknesses in skills and combat methods. There is already a special combat strategy ready to deal with the Buddha Rider.
Even if this combat method is used, the advantage will still be taken by Karoso; that’s the unreasonable part of the new card set.
"So, which eight contestants will get to compete in the final round? Honor is within reach! Whoever receives the honor will surely earn the respect of the other contestants!" the host announced loudly, "Now, the match begins!"
Ding!
Karoso and the young man’s swords clashed against their shields.
To their surprise, as soon as the two finished their greeting, Karoso rushed towards the young knight, completely ignoring the Mysterious Guardian!
"Huh?" The young knight was momentarily stunned.
Is it because he thinks I’m unworthy, or is he afraid of being targeted?
Luckily, Karoso’s earlier fighting style was quite cunning, so the young knight had really not come this far for nothing; he quickly got into position.
Bang!
Karoso’s sword clashed with his shield, and his long sword lunged towards Karoso’s side.
Boom!
The young knight’s sword struck the armor on Karoso’s body, causing him to stagger back a half step.
The two once again got into position, like a dull yet very formal knightly duel.
"Oh my goodness!" The host exclaimed with excitement, "Karoso didn’t use his secret!"
"As everyone has seen these days, that mysterious follower can summon five secrets, and Karoso doesn’t need to spend any magic. Reaching this point, that secret has played a major role."
"Now, has Karoso given them up for a different strategy? Let’s wait and see!"
"You want to find the chance to use that card, right?" The young knight rushed towards Karoso. "Or… is it that card can’t even make a four-star version!"
"What do you think?" Karoso did not answer directly.
Bang, bang, bang…
The two began to clash fiercely. In skills, the young knight was better than Karoso.
Karoso is still skilled with just his sword; the Sword Shield is more of a burden for him.
The problem is, the Legend Card is too expensive, and Karoso doesn’t want to spend money to get another sword.
Karoso casually tossed out two cards.
[Name: Fair Murloc]
[Type: Minion]
[Race: Murloc]
[Star Level: 3]
[Grade: Blue Rare]
[Occupational Restriction: None]
[Description: Lock onto an enemy and draw two cards together with them.]
Explosive Deck Thief, this is a skill that Karoso has shown before.
After the City of Freedom Incident, the strategies of this card set have spread.
Unfortunately, the thief profession cannot be seen in public, and the Card Maker cannot study it extensively, so only Karoso has this card set.
The information about Karoso mentions the explosion card strategy, so those who have battled with Karoso tend to keep more cards in their spare sets.
Although knights do not have thief spells, who knows what Karoso can pull out.
"Do you want to explode my cards?" the young knight said casually as he threw down two cards.
[Name: Silver Squire]
[Type: Minion]
[Race: Human]
[Star Level: 4]
[Grade: Blue Rare]
[Job Restriction: Knight]
[Introduction: Servant, come to my room!]
Two sword-wielding knights charged toward the two Murlocs.
"Awooo!"
The Murlocs became entangled with the knights.
This was flat ground, and the Murlocs’ Star Level was even lower; plus, due to special effects, their abilities were completely dominated by the knights.
It probably wouldn’t be long before these two Murlocs were cut down by the servant.
Karoso did not expect to win with these two creatures either, so he summoned another servant.
[Name: Blind Murloc]
[Type: Companion]
[Race: Murloc]
[Star Level: 4]
[Grade: Golden Legend]
[Occupational Restriction: None]
[Description: For each Murloc companion you have, its attack power will increase once, and when it arrives, it will unleash its strongest power to attack the enemy.]
Suddenly, a dark Murloc shadow appeared behind Karoso, holding a fork in its hand, and its hair was countable.
"Awooo!"
The Murloc let out a loud roar and transformed into a flash of light, attacking the young knight.
The young knight wanted his companion to help block the attack, but found that the creature turned into a shadow and passed right through his companion!
Bang!
The blind Murloc jabbed his fork right into the young knight’s face.
The young knight took the hit and stumbled back repeatedly.
"What is that?!" the young knight was confused.
At first, the blind Murloc was a shadow, but now it had become solid.
The young knight swung his sword, striking the blind Murloc.
The blind Murloc cried out in pain and poked back with his fork.
Bang!
The blind Murloc was defeated, and the young knight took two heavy hits!
"Oh my goodness, another type of rule!" The steward of the Knights’ Association was very surprised. "How many of these cards does he have? These kinds of cards have never appeared before. Did they come from archaeology or are they made by some master?"
"This Murloc is not undead, nor is it an elemental, but it can go through other minions to attack the opponent directly. This…" the steward of the Wizard Association blinked. "Fortunately, magical protection can block it. It seems to only go through minions and only has one chance."
"Otherwise, it would be too scary," the knight steward said seriously. "This Karoso has brought us too many surprises. How many strange cards has he prepared to make up for his own weaknesses?"
These cards, while strange, are not unsolvable. Everyone was just serious and curious, without too much thought.
Moreover, since Karoso has them, there must be a way to trace them, and surely others will be able to use them in the future.
"This is called Charge…" Karoso said. "If there are no taunting minions, it will go straight to the face, and nobody can stop it!"
Taunt and Charge are both rule-type cards that are simply not from this era.
"Hmph, I am a knight, and I cannot be harmed!" The young knight charged at Karoso again and threw a card.
Karoso summoned another follower.
[Name: Ancient Elf Sage]
[Category: Follower]
[Race: Elf]
[Star Level: 2]
[Rank: Golden Legend]
[Occupational Restriction: None]
[Description: Lock onto one enemy. When you cast a spell, the spell card goes into their hand.]
A golden long sword fell from the sky, aimed at Karoso.
Behind Karoso, a shadow appeared. He wore a blue robe and had long white hair. He looked very old, so old that he could barely move.
The old elf quietly sat behind Karoso. He wore reading glasses, and in his hands, he held an ancient book made of sheep skin.
"Hmm…"
The old elf glanced at the magic, then turned a page in his book. A card appeared in Karoso’s hand, and he placed the card down.
Suddenly, a sharp sword hung above the young man’s head, falling from the sky…
The old elf seemed not to recognize who his master was; he saw only the magic. When he spotted the long sword, he flicked his finger, and the card appeared again in the young knight’s hand.
"What is this?!"
The young man stopped charging and looked at the Magic Card in his hand.
[Name: Silver Holy Sword]
[Category: Spell]
[Star Level: 4]
[Grade: Blue Rare]
[Occupational Restriction: Knight]
[Introduction: Have you ever seen a sword falling from the sky?]
The young knight did not believe in the supernatural and casually threw the card away.
Thud!
Karoso raised his shield to block the sword and then retaliated.
Bang!
The young man also raised his shield.
One magic sword after another attacked the two, as if these cards were endless.
"What is happening?" the host looked confused, "Even with white cards, a complete deck can hold at most two, right? Where did they get so many of the same Magic Card?"
"This…" the knight association’s steward also seemed puzzled, "Is it because of that follower? Is this follower meant to be funny?"
At first, when Karoso charged in, everyone became much more alert.
After all, this is Karoso; even without that Mysterious Guardian, he could still bring many surprises.
Clearly, this follower is the surprise.
"This card… might really create a gap between the rich and the poor," the steward of the Wizard Association quickly thought of something, "What if a seventh-tier fully equipped wizard meets a seventh-tier blue and white common wizard? Using this follower, would the other side unknowingly provide a bunch of Magic Cards?"
"It’s really possible." The knight’s servant, upon hearing this, suddenly realized, "But isn’t this thing not used now? Karoso is the rich one, his cards are all purple and gold. Just look at his opponent, who doesn’t even have a single purple card. Is Karoso doing charity?"
