City of Backstreet Nymphs

179 – Nymphs and the Dark Game # 3

179 – Nymphs and the Dark Game # 3

Although Seoul is a large city, finding nymphs was not that difficult.

Because there were a lot of people around.

When I searched social media, there were people who took pictures of the surrounding area and tagged their discovery of a nymph with “#Nymph.” I followed it.

“What is that? “What is the nymph doing?”

“I heard it’s some kind of card game.”

“Hey, games these days are really good. The graphics are also realistically implemented.”

「Dual Stone」 Competition held mainly in Seoul.

Citizens became spectators of the battles taking place throughout downtown Seoul, and the nymphs always received a lot of attention.

“It’s the first turn… ! The cost that can be used is 1 cost… ! This Oinoi summons the level 1 card “Dog Squirrel” And ends the turn… ! This is because you cannot attack on the first turn of summoning… !”

Among the crowd of people, Oinoi was competing with someone.

The level 1 monster “Dog Squirrel” Summoned by Oinoi in the first turn jumped onto the field.

━Kkeongkeong… !

Osa’s augmented reality scanners installed throughout the area vividly depicted the images of dog squirrels on the road.

Citizens were very pleased with the sight of the dog squirrel.

“It’s really a dog squirrel, right?”

“That’s a rare card… !”

Although “Squirrel Dog” Was a level 1, 1 cost card, it was a very good rare card. The effect was to increase the attack power of cards with the name “Squirrel” By 500 every turn.

In other words-.

The longer “Dog Squirrel” Remains on the field, the stronger the power of the “Squirrel Deck” Operated by Oinoi will continue to grow.

Since such a card was played right away on turn 1, Oinoi’s win rate was greatly increased.

However, the attitude of the man dealing with Oinoi was relaxed.

“Squirrel deck? hahahaha, do you think this cute little squirrel can beat Atlas, the executive of Tomb Raider… ! Squirrels with 300 attack power… ! hahahahaha… !”

The man was a man with his face made up like a clown.

But he was close to 2 meters tall and his weight seemed to easily be over 100 kilograms.

The sight of a bulky, muscular man looking back and forth while holding a card much smaller than his palm was somewhat surreal.

Probably an awakened person.

Is it about C level?

Soon someone shouted.

“It’s called Atlas… !? Atlas, a card hunter who operates the “Giant Deck”… !? That nymph is dangerous! Atlas is a fearsome gamer… ! He’s the one who steals rare cards from defeated gamers… !”

“The “Giant Deck” Is also strong… !”

From the looks of it, he seemed to be quite famous among Duel Stone users.

The man who identified himself as Atlas seemed to have noticed that he was telling his own story and burst out laughing loudly.

“I trained and trained again for today’s major task… ! I’ll show you… ! The power of my muscles achieved through bone-cutting training… ! Draw… !”

Pot-!

A huge palm, like the hand of a giant, pulled a card from a deck of cards. Perhaps because his muscles were so great, the force of pulling out the card was amazing.

“Okay… ! You drew a good card… ! hahahaha, it looks like Seunggi is mine… !”

Atlas’ turn 1.

The cost that can be used is 1 coin.

For reference, the Duel Stone had a structure in which 2 coins, 3 coins, and 4 coins increased with each turn.

What will Atlas do on turn 1?

“End the turn… !”

Atlas ended his turn.

Nothing was done.

The current situation is a tie with Atlas having 5000 stamina and Oinoi having 5000 stamina.

“Then now it is Oinoi’s turn… !”

Now it was Oinoi’s second turn.

Oinoi, who can use 2 costs, summoned two 1-cost “Death Squirrels” Onto the field.

The attack power of the level 1 monster “Death Squirrel” Was basically 300, but due to the effect of the special rare card “Dog Squirrel”, The attack power increased by 500 to 800.

“Attack the opponent with the “Dog Squirrel” That was summoned the previous turn… ! Cheating wildly… !”

━Kkeongkeong… !

The attack power of “Dog Squirrel” Is also 800.

Atlas received 800 damage and had 4200 health remaining.

“Ugh… !”

Atlas was greatly distressed.

Osa Group’s Hyper PC also doesn’t have a sensory synchronization function, so why does it hurt so much? Someone who saw that shouted.

“That guy seems to have trained his duel muscles so much that his empathy has greatly developed… ! I can’t believe I can get so immersed in a card… ! That’s really great concentration… !”

Immersion through concentration.

I have heard that such symptoms appear in highly skilled awakeners.

When people look at lemons, their mouths tend to water.

It is said that highly trained awakeners using special methods can reflexively cause certain reactions in their bodies just by looking at something.

In fact, Atlas’ body had scratches as if he had been attacked by a real squirrel.

Drip-tuk-.

Blood flowing from the forehead.

“This little guy, you hurt me… ! It’s pretty… !”

While Atlas was laughing, Oinoi, who had used up all his costs and finished his attack, ended his turn.

Now it’s time to turn to Atlas.

Atlas will draw a card and use the 2 costs given on turn 2.

However, Atlas spoke before drawing a card.

“Hey, little one. I have a suggestion for you. Wouldn’t you like to start the “Game of Darkness” From now on? The winner gets to take a part of the loser’s soul and a rare card… !!!”

A game of darkness.

In that story, I remembered the secret society I had heard about from Jinah Lee.

You said there was an A-rank dangerous illegal organization participating in this tournament. Did you mean the “Tomb Raiders” To which Atlas belongs?

Zek-.

Atlas immediately took out a small pyramid-shaped relief from his pocket.

The color was ivory, and I could tell at a glance that it was a “Magic tool” Type item found in the crack.

It seemed to be giving off an ominous aura, and Oinoi noticed it before I had time to warn her.

“I can sense a nymphophobic vibe… ! This Oinoi, as the chief nymph, cannot allow nymphophobic objects to be passed around… ! He said he would comply with the request… !”

Oinoi’s attitude was very confident.

He had no doubt that he would be able to win against Atlas, who was using a fearsome card called the “Giant Deck.”

Soon Atlas laughed.

“Good… ! So from now on, this place will become a dark playground under the contract of the “Pyramid of Night”… ! hahahahaha… !”

Along with Atlas’ laughter, a thick black fog began to pour out from the pyramid.

The fog was thick everywhere, and the cat sitting on my shoulder puffed out its fur as if it was nervous.

━Crumbling… !

A tense situation in many ways. Other people were amazed and said, “Games these days even support 4D effects.”

Is it right to evacuate people?

“Draw… !”

At that time, Atlas tensed his large and bulky muscles and pulled out a card.

He looked at his cards and said, “I drew a very good card…” !” He shouted, but this time he ended his turn without doing anything.

What is it?

Why did I end my turn without doing anything for 2 turns?

What on earth are you planning?

“Oinoi, be careful! “There must be something up there!”

I was nervous.

However, Oinoi faced the 3rd turn as if nothing had happened and there were 3 costs that could be consumed in the 3rd turn.

“Oinoi wants to summon 3 1-cost “Fire Squirrels”… ! “Squirrel” Has a “Surprise” Effect that allows it to attack immediately the turn it is summoned… !”

The basic attack power of “Squirrel” Is 300, but due to the effect of “Squirrel” That survived on the field for 2 turns, the attack power increases by 500 to 1300.

In other words, Oinoi’s field includes a dog squirrel with an attack power of 1300, two death squirrels with an attack power of 1300, and three fire squirrels with an attack power of 1300, giving the field a total attack power of 8400.

“All squirrels want to beat up their opponents… !”

━Kkeongkeong… !

Squirrels with an attack power of 8400 attacked Atlas, an executive of the secret society Tomb Raiders!

Atlas vomited blood as if he had actually been beaten by the squirrels. The phantom pain may have appeared in the body due to the excellent immersion ability.

From noble mtl dot com

“aaahhh… !!!!!”

「Lp 0」.

Atlas’ stamina became 0.

It was Oinoi’s victory.

Oinoi jumped towards Atlas.

“Hit Nymph Bigi hard… !”

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.

“Guaaagh…” !”

Atlas was very distressed.

He held his face as if his soul was collapsing and finally collapsed.

Sssss-.

It was then that the fog surrounding the surroundings cleared.

When the palm-sized pyramid that had collected the fog began to glow, I saw the hand that Atlas had dropped on the floor.

Why on earth did he not do anything for 2 turns?

What was the plan?

「Level 7: Lava Giant

Effect: Immediately upon summoning, inflicts 500 damage to the entire field.

Attack/Defense 2000/ 2000″

「Level 7: Mountain Giant

Effect: Increases the defense power of the ally’s field by 500.

Attack/Defense 2000/ 2000″

「Level 9: Giant Squirrel

Effect: Has an effect of 500 attack power for each “Surprise attack” And “Squirrel” On the field.

Attack/Defense 3000/ 2500″

“This guy, now I see he has a lot of high cost cards in his hands, right? Because of this, I couldn’t do anything in the beginning and just ended my turn… !”

It was common knowledge that high-cost cards were powerful.

However, such a card will only be able to be summoned at an appropriate cost only in the latter half of the turn, after several turns.

In other words, it took at least 7 turns to play a level 7 card.

Therefore, Atlas’ “Giant Deck” Was a deck that was completely focused on the late game, and it was an extremely bad match for Oinoi’s “Squirrel Deck”, Which was a deck that dominated the early game.

Oinoi snatched the rare card “Giant Squirrel” From Atlas’ deck, held it high, and shouted.

“This Oinoi won… ! It is clear that no nymph could have defeated a giant with a squirrel… ! It is a nymph dance of joy… !”

Zek-.

It was Oinoi, who put her hands on her waist and spun around.

I reported Atlas to the police just in case.

# # #

“What? “Giant – Atlas” Was defeated? Wasn’t that guy guaranteed to make it to the finals at least? “Who on earth did he lose to?”

Inside a dark room.

People dressed in black robes gathered in front of the table and murmured.

Unexpected defeat.

It was the moment when the plan suffered a setback.

While everyone was keeping her mouth shut, a woman let out a long snort, showing off her beautiful voice beneath her robes.

“Well, I guess I let my guard down and lost. Atlas, that guy only trusts his muscles and often lets his guard down, right? Now I will step forward. “This Ankh of resurrection.”

Jalang-.

Around her neck was an object resembling a cross, hanging from a string like her necklace.

However, those with a keen eye will be able to notice that it is not a cross but an Ankh, an Egyptian religious symbol.

Zek-.

A female ankh who got up from her seat.

She looked at the wide stone slab that the robed people were using instead of a table.

It was a stone tablet with countless stars engraved on it.

It was also one of the “Elemental Stone Tablets” That became the prototype of the Duel Stone card.

A mythical artifact discovered deep underground in the Valley of the Kings, in an ancient taboo pyramid that had not been revealed to anyone.

The best loot of grave robbers “Tomb Raiders”… !

When Ankh saw that, his body felt tingly as if he had been struck by lightning.

“When the fighting spirit of the warriors boils and worthy souls are sacrificed, our God will be resurrected and give eternal life and infinite power—. “Serpent’s Key,” Point to the necessary sacrifice.”

Ankh memorized her spell.

Jangle-.

He pointed to someone on the CCTV monitor with a bunch of keys hanging around the woman’s neck.

“This man…. Haildo, hehehehe… , That sounds fun. “What kind of card will you be?”

The woman stuck out her long snake-like tongue and licked the man on the monitor.

It looked like a hunter targeting prey.
