Chapter 164: Diana's Mighty Bond
Under the effect of [Bear's Bond], for every additional bear within a hundred-meter radius with which [Bond] has been established, the Earth Bear's Magic, Attack, and Defense will simultaneously increase by 200 points.
The maximum number of increases is 3.
"Roar!"
The Earth Bear, leveraging its sudden surge of power, forcefully pushed aside the Troll, then executed a Great Bear's Charge, knocking the Troll back with a violent stumble!
The Troll seemed to feel shamed and enraged by this, twisting its waist, its thick, massive hand swept horizontally like a giant axe!
But this overwhelming strike was successfully parried by the Earth Bear!
[Earth Power] activated.
A layer of yellow light surged up from beneath its feet once more, allowing its lost magic power to recover slightly.
It retreated with the momentum, defending the Magic Orb.
...
"Its defense increased?"
Virt was startled, and subconsciously drew two new cards from the top of his deck, adding them to his hand.
Then he glanced at them, and his heart immediately settled.
[Forbidden Love] was clearly among them!
With the Magic Orb's life barrier having only 1000 magic power points, a relatively powerful Magic Guide Spirit could completely shatter it with a single blow!
There was also a faint sense of dark humor in turning the Magic Guide Spirit guarding the Magic Orb into the culprit that ultimately destroyed the Magic Orb.
.
...
But Virt didn't do that immediately.
He was commanding the Troll to continue its attack, he summoned his second Magic Guide Spirit.
That was not [Magic Beast: Stag], but a new 2-star Magic Guide Spirit.
...
[Card Name: Goblin Warrior]
[Type: Spirit Card]
[Level: ★★]
[Race: Demi-human Type]
[Attribute: Fighting Type]
[Magic Power: 300]
[Attack: 500]
[Defense: 300]
[Special Moves: Goblin Cyclone Slash]
...
A Demi-human Type with long ears and a pointed nose, ugly like an imp, with a crude shield strapped to its left arm, and an inverted, rust-covered short blade in its right hand.
The Goblin Warrior materialized in a flash of light, then charged with a sneer towards Diana's Magic Beast!
As a 1-star Magic Guide Spirit, the Magic Beast's overall stats were not high.
Even though this Goblin Warrior wasn't particularly strong, it was theoretically more than enough to deal with that Polar Bear.
Virt glanced at his hand.
Of the remaining five cards in his hand, besides [Forbidden Love] and [Magic Bullet Charm], all were 1-star and 2-star White Cards, even weaker than the Goblin Warrior.
Originally, such Magic Guide Cards should not have appeared in a deck at all.
However, with no other Magic Guide Cards to substitute, using them to fill the deck was a helpless choice.
.
"Goblin Cyclone Slash!"
Seeing the Goblin Warrior already charging with its blade towards the Great White Bear, Virt immediately commanded loudly!
"Slay!"
The Goblin Warrior responded to its master's command; a surge of white light from its hand climbed onto its blade, and as it ran, it twisted its waist, its entire body rotating with the blade more than 180°, unleashing an astonishing horizontal slash!
"Big Whitey, dodge!"
However, the Polar Bear chose to avoid its sharp edge!
The Polar Bear, responsible for rear defense in Diana's strategy, turned around, grabbed the Magic Orb, and darted away with it.
The Goblin Warrior missed its strike, stamping its feet in anger and squawking as it gave chase.
...
In the first year, when students haven't yet learned how to use remote mana control of the Magic Orb, dodging with the orb is a very common tactic.
Against this tactic, the simplest method is to summon another Magic Guide Spirit to form a pincer movement.
After the cooldown for Normal Summoning Art elapsed, Virt immediately prepared to summon a third Magic Guide Spirit.
Even if this third Magic Guide Spirit was useless, it could still serve to intercept.
Overall.
His thinking was still very clear.
Proceeding step by step, his advantage was significant.
Diana of Noble House didn't seem as powerful as he had imagined?
Just as this thought flashed through his mind.
Virt suddenly noticed Diana exceptionally excitedly raising the Magic Guide Card in her hand.
Under the gaze of many, that Magic Guide Card emitted an extremely dazzling brilliant light!
"Bear's Might!"
Diana's loud cry echoed throughout the arena!
On the field.
The Earth Bear, barely able to parry the Troll's offensive, its eyes suddenly changed, its entire body covered by an extremely rich layer of light.
It then let out an excited roar, as power surged through its limbs.
Visibly, muscle contours appeared on the Earth Bear's body, and its physique abruptly swelled by a circle!
Although still not as large as the Troll, it already reached a height of nearly three meters!
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Amidst its furious roars, the Earth Bear finally unleashed the humiliation of being suppressed this turn.
It took two steps to gain momentum, and like a heavily armored war chariot, it fiercely crashed into the Troll's abdomen,
"Bang!"
The arrogant Troll was actually sent flying!
The whole arena was in an uproar!
The students of Noble House had already witnessed the might of [Bear's Might], but it was the first time for the students of Knights House.
Robert outside the field couldn't help but worry.
But as soon as he remembered Virt still had [Forbidden Love], he relaxed.
"If it's just combat power accumulated through magic power, it can't pose a threat to Virt."
"In my opinion, Virt just wanted to try and win from a head-on battle, which is why he delayed until now,
"Otherwise, this Diana should have already been defeated."
He noisily babbled in the crowd.
But he seemed to have received the silent treatment.
...
The sudden burst of power from the Earth Bear stiffened Virt's face; he subconsciously stopped his Normal Summoning Art mid-incantation and involuntarily took out [Forbidden Love].
"No, it's not over yet!"
Virt suddenly realized something was wrong with his mindset.
He quickly fortified his mind, roaring: "Troll, Self-Sacrificing Impact"!
