chapter 24
024. Hey, you too?
The evil spirit of Chapter 3.
1 Chapter magic encyclopedia.
Then what about the remaining chapter?
Surprisingly, it was a fusion of place names.
It’s a nostalgic 5-spell spell, but the cards drawn this time were all cards that performed well.
Chapter 3 The fire spirit creates a wall, and finesse runs freely on top of it.
It was shabby compared to the wall that Miner God had shown the previous day, but if Magic Smith was the opponent, this would have been a disgusting enough field.
“I summon ‘Magic Smith Silva’ from my hand!”
“At that moment, the effect of Finesse activates. Destroy the fire spirit and Silva who declared the raging storm.”
“Ugh… !!”
A small blacksmith wearing a wizard’s hat appeared on the field, but disappeared in vain in the black flames of Finesse.
It breaks my heart to see a cute little girl disappear, but there is nothing I can do about it.
If you pass Silva’s effect, a high-ranking Magicsmith monster will pop out of the deck.
The right answer was to nip the seeds of discord in the bud in advance, and ruthlessly eliminate them.
“Set 2 cards and end the turn.”
“My turn, draw. During the standby phase, use the effect of Finesse to summon a fire spirit from your graveyard to the field and set it. And then activate the fire command set in the main phase. The target of the declaration is ‘Magicsmith Master Oriha.'”
Bring the destroyed fire spirit back to the field and recycle it.
Oriha’s face gradually rotted as she declared a different card than the one she had initially declared.
One of the cards that Oriha sets is a card that specially summons a Magic Smith monster during the main phase.
However, if you designate Magic Smith’s ace monster as an evil spirit before activating the trap, it will be useless to any pair.
An empty shell monster that cannot be prevented from being summoned on the chain, but its effects cannot be activated.
Monsters that have no effect are just eaten by the flames poured out by Finesse.
“This is a scam… !!”
“What?”
As if there was no hope for her, her body began to tremble even during the duel.
“This is an obvious scam!!”
Inside a guild crowded with people.
The cry of a young woman rang out.
The crowd roared at that one word, but I responded calmly.
“What?”
“How can I have three of the same cards in my hand?!”
Yes, I’m curious too.
It could be said that it was a divine draw, as 3 cards were caught right from the start to give the opponent candy.
In addition, thanks to the release of a magic encyclopedia, we have overcome a dangerous juncture.
I sincerely praise my duelgeun.
“Did you manipulate the tile by doing something like subtracting from the bottom?”
“I guess it was like that.”
“Huh? “Didn’t you just get lucky and start with three of the same card?”
“You idiot! “Do you know that it’s usually easy to start with three of the same cards?”
“In many ways, I’m reluctant to call it a coincidence.”
Oriha appeals to the audience, not me, by calling it a hoax.
The audience also became agitated and began to accept her words.
Do the spectators have the power to stop the duel midway? That’s probably not true.
Perhaps he is trying to incite the crowd to settle the bet before the duel is over and he is treated unfairly.
It’s tricky. Even though he is a criminal, the situation becomes difficult if the audience comes forward while public sentiment is at an all-time low.
Even if I win her duel and make Oriha her slave, her spectators may rush to me, demanding to set her free.
I think I should also strongly appeal that it is not a trick.
“I didn’t use any tricks. “Don’t be ugly and accept defeat gracefully.”
“Don’t lie!”
“Do you have any evidence? “Are you saying that after obtaining evidence that I used a despicable trick?”
“Proof? “The fact that you are a criminal tells me that the evidence is not worth discussing?”
“hahahaha! “It’s absurd.”
“Why? “Is there anything that stings you even when you think about it?”
“I laughed because you were so amazing that you shamelessly came forward based on just your thoughts without any physical evidence. “What if I’m proven innocent?”
“That won’t happen, but regardless of the outcome of the bet, I will hand over my position as guild master to you. Instead, if it turns out to be a trick, this duel will be considered your loss.”
The white-blue-haired kid was glaring at me without blinking, as if he was really convinced that I had cheated.
They say it’s so scary when an ignorant person has beliefs, but it seems like they’re talking about the current situation.
Someone you can never convince through ordinary conversation.
I have no choice but to bring up the numbers I had been trying to hide until the end.
‘Things are going strangely. Can’t you come out and help instead of just watching?’
A conversation that takes place in the heart, not with the mouth.
I tried to communicate with my assistant using an ability commonly called telepathy in martial arts or telepathy in fantasy.
‘Isn’t it still too early to get my help?’
‘No, now is the time. If we don’t take control of the guild within today, this plan will be no different from failure.’
‘I understand.’
It was then.
A human-sized scale appeared in an empty space on the right side of the duel field and fell with a thud.
Everyone except me was startled by the sudden appearance of the scales and their attention was focused.
Someone in the audience shouted, pointing at the scales.
“Isn’t that the mark used by the apostles of justice?”
“Huh? “It’s real!”
A pattern that combines scales and a sword.
It is a symbol of justice engraved on the equipment each apostle of justice uses, and is also said to be a symbol of God Miner, the god of justice they believe in and follow.
In any case, this item has absolutely nothing to do with the duel between me and Oriha.
That’s why everyone was even more puzzled by the scale that appeared out of nowhere.
However, it was only for a moment that a woman stepped forward from the crowd and attempted to mediate.
“I heard that something unpleasant happened during the duel….”
The voice was clearly that of the god Miner, but his appearance was completely different from when we first met him.
I guess he disguised himself because he didn’t want his identity as God to be revealed?
To avoid unnecessary words, I just nodded quietly.
“Who are you?”
“Sorry for the late introduction. “I am one of the believers who follows Miner, the god of justice.”
Miner, who was slowly approaching us, suddenly put his hand into his chest and took out something of his.
A wooden plaque with a pattern similar to the logo drawn on the balance.
Her followers looked at her with suspicion when they saw the wooden tablet that her god Miner had taken out.
I’m not sure what it is, but it seems to be an item that proves identity.
“I think my identity has been sufficiently revealed and I will get to the point without delay. From now on, we will confirm the true intentions of the two of you, so I would appreciate it if you would refrain from telling lies as much as possible. Please note that lying will get caught right away, so we recommend that you refrain from telling lies. “Well, first of all, Guild Master, do you really think that cheating has occurred in this duel?”
“Yes! “This guy must have cheated, but he keeps denying it!”
“I understand. Let’s also listen to the other side’s story. As the guild master said, did you commit cheating during the duel?”
“I have never done anything like that.”
“Are you saying you didn’t commit any misconduct during the duel?”
“Yes.”
“I understand.”
After listening to both of our opinions, God Miner approached the scale at a brisk pace.
Then he placed two cards on the scale and observed the scale while nodding repeatedly.
After a long time passed, she finally confirmed something, straightened her back and made a decision.
“Now that we have confirmed that there are no problems, you can continue the duel.”
“Huh?”
Oriha tilted her head in disbelief at the verdict, which she could not understand at all.
“I said you can continue the duel like this.”
“Why? Cheating during a duel must be a serious sin worthy of divine punishment… !”
“Unfortunately, neither of you were lying. Therefore, the misconduct mentioned by the guild master is nothing more than suspicion.”
“You didn’t cheat?”
“Yes. In any case, both parties were found to be innocent, so if you plan to discuss the rights and wrongs from now on, you can decide on a duel. Who fights with words these days in the first place? “If you are both duelists, you can agree on a duel.”
Miner Shin simply says what he has to say and then leaves.
Amid the bewildering verdict, the audience unanimously agreed.
“Well, if you’re a duelist, it’s right to reach an agreement through dueling.”
“Because the winner’s word is justice.”
“Rather, it’s meaningless unless it’s a duel.”
“Whether it’s a trick or not, we’ll decide later and then do the duel!”
Oriha’s plan to borrow the power of the crowd was completely blocked.
Now she had no choice but to fight to the death in duels for the remaining time to avoid becoming a slave.
Even so, I will have to resign from my position as guild master.
“””””Dual! Duel! Duel! Duel! Duel!”””””
The crowd begins to gather, demanding that the duel continue.
Anyway, I never imagined that the audience would meekly accept the ambiguous ruling.
They were people who were much more serious about dueling than I expected.
‘This is all I can help you with.’
As I was looking at the audience in wonder, I heard a sound from the god Miner.
Thanks to her intrusion, things went smoothly.
The rest can be completed through duals.
‘It was helpful enough. Thank you for helping me.’
‘It’s okay. I can do this much if I can give rest to my foolish believer.’
From the solemn voice, I could tell how much God Miner cared for his believers.
Honestly, I envied the apostles of justice.
It means that they are all receiving grace from the main god.
‘Even if it involves group brainwashing people.’
I decided to forget the last words.
