With the tipping of the balance, the originally small Frost Fist continued to grow larger, while the Flame Spirit rapidly shrunk until the two were exactly the same.
With a muffled bang, the two collided. The ice shards and red flames scattered in all directions, almost completely crushing the already crumbling divine barrier.
"Miss Audrey, this time it's up to you."
Jenkins huddled in his chair, avoiding the flames licking the tabletop. If this continues, they will be completely burned to ashes before the next round.
The clothes of the three people have been damaged to varying degrees, but so far only the sleeves have been burned. Women's hair is also flammable, Miss Audrey has already tied up her long hair.
"Alexia, is yours still available?"
Miss Audrey asked softly while looking at the cards.
"Can."
She nodded, and then looked at Jenkins, who immediately raised his hand—then shrank back, because the magic barrier above his head had dropped to a dangerous height, "Assure the sage, I promise not to reveal this strange situation whatever you see in it."
"In the name of the hermit, so do I."
"Yes, in honor of the Miller family, so do I."
The two ladies also gave assurances that this was the only way to go on this occasion.
On the counterattack card that Miss Audrey threw was a silver needle.
"B-05-2-1862, The Thrill of Revenge."
Miss Audrey held the needle in her right hand, and then slammed into her left hand. She bit her lip and took a deep breath, explaining in a trembling voice: "I feel the pain now, the revenge condition is established, and revenge will become my strength. In the next round, all the cards used by me and my companions, will be rewarded."
Jenkins didn't know what the purpose of this item was, but that didn't stop him from knowing that Miss Audrey's words were nonsense, and there was no logic at all.
But the dealer didn't say anything, and saw the silver needle in Miss Audrey's hand turn into a ball of light and enter the hands of the three of them, and all the cards in their hands shone with a faint light.
Entering Miss Audrey's round again, she smiled at Jenkins and Miller, and then said: "I use [Fair Power Contract] to lend my power to Alexia Miller."
Following her words, Miss Miller threw out a card, which turned out to be a rolled up parchment.
This is even more excessive, she actually used someone else's hand in her own turn.
Jenkins held his breath, and the three looked at the dealer at the same time. Those green jewel eyes scanned the three of them at once, then nodded.
"Hoo~"
They both let out a sigh of relief at the same time, and it turned out to be okay.
The parchment from the cards flew out, and Miss Audrey signed her name. Just when the parchment was about to fly into the card, she announced: "Although this is a card representing Alexia Miller's ability, but because the way of using it is to turn it into a specific item, I think, It should stay on the field like an item."
She had a good point... at least the dealer didn't object. Thus, the contract stayed in the center of the round table.
This time the cards are not pointing, so there is no counterplay. When it was Jenkins' turn, he looked at the cards in his hand and asked the two ladies next to him:
"Miss Audrey, Miss Miller, I am the only one with the lowest rank here, and I am not as knowledgeable as the two. So, do you have any opinions?"
As he spoke, he sorted out the thick stack of cards in his hand.
Miss Audrey shook her head: "Don't attack, this will give him a chance to fight back."
Miss Miller also maintained the same opinion: "That's good. In my turn, I can use the power of the contract to win directly. You just need to play your cards carefully."
Jenkins nodded, and the magic barrier was about to be broken. Without hesitation, he threw out and read: "I will also sign my name on that contract. In this way, I will also lend my power to Mi Miss Le."
As he spoke, a pen-holding hand appeared over the cards, reaching for the parchment and signing "Jenkins Williams".
"Very good, Mr. Williams."
Miss Miller smiled, and while wiping the sweat that kept slipping down her snow-white neck into her collar, she announced: "My turn, I will sign my name at the bottom of the contract, admitting that Audrey and William Special loan."
A third name appeared on the parchment, and it burned. In the embers of the flames, cards with busts of Jenkins and Audrey flew to Miss Miller's side.
This is just the effect of using past cards, so it doesn't count as a card... at least the dealer has no objection, she can still throw a card:
"[Theory of Ten Thousands · Fusion]!"
She laughed, and a huge pattern composed of three geometric figures appeared in the void, and countless mathematical symbols fluttered in the pattern. The two borrowed cards rose into the air, and under the influence of mathematics, they gradually came together.
The dealer reached out and touched the cards in front of him.
"Wait, her turn isn't over yet!"
Jenkins immediately protested that the solitaire fusion wasn't over yet.
"She played a card, end of round."
While talking, he quickly pulled out the card and threw it out: "Fire banquet!"
With a bang, Miss Miller's magical barrier was completely broken by the raging sea of flames. The three jumped together in a panic, but the fusion of cards was still not over.
"Fate turns!"
The cards in Miss Audrey's hands glowed purple, and it was the turn of the three to fight back. A gust of wind came out from nowhere, and the sea of fire miraculously avoided the round table, but only for a few seconds.
"The fusion is over, use the equipped poison knife to attack, use [Fake Death Trick]~"
The last few syllables of this sentence have been distorted, because the sea of flames completely engulfed the three of them, and the howling and screaming sounded immediately.
Right above the round table, the merged cards were finally completed. The illusory figure of Miss Miller flew out from the playing cards, holding a crystal ball in her left hand, while the fist of her right hand was constantly emitting cold air.
The dealer's statement does not end there:
"My [arson] is still working!"
The sea of fire rushed towards the phantom, the crystal ball was thrown, and it retreated immediately.
"My [Spirit of Flame] is still functioning!"
The sea of fire rushed towards the phantom, and the right fist smashed into the raging fire wave, and it retreated again.
"My [Fire Banquet] is still working!"
The sea of flames rushed towards the phantom, and a huge and weird map of mathematics and physics appeared next to Miss Miller's phantom, helping her block the attack.
