Chapter 224: Soul Armament
Date- 27 Mar 2321
Time- 9:07
Location- Sky Blossom City, The Sky Blossom Card Stadium, Arena 13
Two 20 meter tall giants appearing in arena 13 attracted all the attention of the audience towards them. 40 card duels were being held in 40 different arenas in every set but none of the arenas had ever managed to gain the complete and undivided attention of the audience like arena 13. Unfortunately for everyone, the arena was not big enough to hold the fight of two 20 meter tall giants. Either of the giants tried to take a step forward or backwards they would be out of arena bounds and automatically be disqualified.
“Contestants of Arena 13, please use the One-time use skill Summon Armament Shift card soon to be provided by the referee to continue the duel otherwise, you will be disqualified.” It seems the school had already thought of the problem of the arena not being large enough for large summons, maybe Pax summoning his mecha was their wake up call. Therefore the announcer hurriedly reminded Nick and Dan to fight using the One-time use skill Summon Armament Shift card. I did not know what a Summon Armament shift was but its name made it obvious that it must be something related to summons and weapons.
[Card Name: Summon Armament shift
Card Type: One Time Use Skill Card
Card Rank: C-rank, Uncommon grade
Card Rating: 4-stars
Card Durability: [97/100]
Card Effect: This Item allows the host to turn his/her summon into an Armament for the host to use as he pleases.
Additional: Armament Spirit,
Restriction: The Summon can turn into any form of armament depending upon its master’s wish. ]
Armament Spirit – the Beast will of the host’s summon would serve as the spirit of the armament giving the armament access to all the powers and abilities of the summons.
Note- Once the Armament Spirit recognises its master all the stats of the summon turned armament’s stats will be distributed to the host’s stats.
Knowing the Card info of the Summon Armament Shift card I was impressed, but what impressed me more was that the school was willing to fork out such a good card, one-time-use cards are cheaper but something rare like a Summon Armament Shift Card must be worth a lot of money. But it was understandable why the school was willing to take out something like a Summon Armament Shift card because all the cost would be borne by the sponsors of this tournament, the White sponsorer City hall and Black sponsorer The Circle.
“Really dude? I wanted to write history here and you want us to fight with toy weapons. Have you seen anyone remembering people fighting with toy weapons, Demigod Toy Master doesn’t count. ” Dan yelled at the announcer. He did not care if the arena was too small for two giants to fight; he just wanted to give the audience duel worthy of entering the pages of history.
Dan’s words received a huge round of cheers from the audience. The audience was also tired of watching these rookies playing Card duels. These duels were fine for the parents of the contestant who were proud to watch their babies grow. But the audience who paid 300$ per seat to watch this shit were bored and considered it a waste of money. The tournament was a huge success at the school level but once it was promoted to city level it could not match the hype it had created. Therefore when they heard Dan’s words the majority of the audience agreed with him.
“Contestants please follow the tournament rules otherwise it will warrant an involuntary surrender.” The announcer was not pressured by the Audience’s enthusiasm and asked Dan to follow the rules if he does not want to be disqualified.
“Whatever. It seems I can give you the epic battle I promised Nick. ‘Blood Puppet Armament\'” Dan turned his attention to the arena and used the one-time use skill Summon Armament Shift card.
The 20-meter tall humanoid blood puppet turned into a 16-meter diameter blood orb which later shrank to a 2-meter diameter blood orb which swallowed Dan into it and then morphed into a full-body blood-red armour fitting Dan perfectly.
“Mountain Golem Armament” Nick also activated the one-time use skill Summon Armament Shift card. The 20 meters tall mountain giant reverted to its 13-meter high mountain that shrank to a 200-centimetre diameter boulder before splitting into two equal-sized 100-centimetre diameter rocks. Each of these two rocks swallowed each one of Nick’s arms and transformed into Rock gauntlets.
“I choose to turn my summon into a full-body armour because I am afraid of pain and getting hurt, what about you l? Why did you choose a gauntlet?” Dan asked Nick why he chose a gauntlet but instead of receiving an answer Dan was once again greeted by a punch to his face.
They were in a duel, not a talk show. So instead of responding to Dan and his unnecessary rant, Nick let his fist do the talking, a proven effective way to shut up loudmouth people. Despite the delay, Nick and Dan’s duel would not be provided any extra time because it would disrupt the schedule already in place. So Dan had already wasted half of the duel talking nonsense which annoyed Nick who wanted to complete the task provided by his master as fast as possible.
Dan received Nick’s punch with open arms; he did not seem to consider Nick’s attack as a threat and had a lot of confidence in his full body blood armour. He was right in doing so as Nick’s did not break through his defence. Which caused Dan to sneer and taunt Nick saying, “your punches are too weak Nick, do not tell me that this is the best you can do even with a summon armament.”
“meteorite jump” Nick sneered at Dan’s taunt as his last punch was bait to make Dan underestimate his strength for when he pulls out his ultimate move, the meteorite Jump.
