My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

The gaze returns to the arena.

After a series of actions, Doron finally ended his initial turn.

Looking at the chaotic front on the opposite side, Shen Sui wished he could grab a Fish King from his hand and use it to feed these monsters.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have a Fish King in hand.

This time, he participated in the match using the Dragon Maid deck because there were already similar cards in it, so he didn’t include the Fish King.

Doron’s formation was not only intimidating in appearance but also incredibly powerful, proving his strength as Theis’ teammate.

As long as the Soul Card Nightmare Bride is on the field, other [Monster Bride] followers on the field cannot be targeted by effects and won’t leave the field due to the opponent’s card effects.

This means that if Shen Sui wants to clear Doron’s field using card effects, he must first clear the Nightmare Bride.

The key is that once the Nightmare Bride leaves the field due to a card effect, it triggers a curse effect. All cards on the card holder’s field, graveyard, and banished zone will lose their effects.

This curse effect will last until the duel ends.

No matter how strong Shen Sui’s deck is, it cannot possibly provide resistance to all cards.

Therefore, the best approach to removing the Nightmare Bride is to use the first card, which requires the least cost—just sealing the effect of one Life Card.

However, Doron specifically equipped his big wife with security to prevent the Nightmare Bride from being cleared quickly.

Of course, in Doron’s words, they are all his wives.

Looking at his cards, Shen Sui calculated secretly. If he really wanted to forcibly clear the Nightmare Bride, it was not impossible, but the cost-to-benefit ratio was seriously unequal.

He could indeed destroy the opponent’s Soul Card after much effort, but after exhausting his resources, he would have no means to clear the remaining follower cards, and all used cards would be cursed and ineffective, proving unworthy.

Moreover, Doron’s endgame was evidently the inactive type.

As long as I don’t actively move against Doron, he basically doesn’t have much ability to obstruct me. He’s the type that seems strong when engaged in a conflict, but if left untouched, he’s merely an ultimate inactive blank slate.

And the strategy to counter such decks is quite simple: ensure the opponent can’t do anything to you either, then both sides stall until your resources are enough to defeat them, and then overwhelm them with one strike.

Thus, Shen Sui decisively abandoned targeting Doron and instead drew his Life Card and started his own moves.

Shen Sui first paid Soul Points to activate the Spell Card [Dragon Maid’s Grace] from his hand, Special Summoning a [Dragon Maid] follower from his deck.

Through the effect of this Life Card, Shen Sui Special Summoned [Loli Dragon Maid Mitole] from his deck.

The cute Loli Dragon Maid Mitole made her shining debut.

When Mitole’s white dragon tail appeared, Doron showed an expectant expression, but when he saw Mitole in human form, disappointment was evident on his face.

Seeing Doron’s change in expression, Shen Sui was speechless internally.

Turns out, I really can’t converse with someone with these preferences.

Dragon Maids are such adorable creatures.

Though Mitole is indeed a bit lacking in assets.

Thinking so, Shen Sui activated Mitole’s effect, sending the top three cards of his deck to the graveyard.

Next, Mitole’s once-per-turn effect was activated, which returned Mitole to the hand, allowing Shen Sui to select a multi-form follower from the deck to the graveyard.

Undoubtedly, the soul card most fitting this effect is [Mermaid Guardian God Martina].

And when Mitole returned to the hand, her departure effect triggered, allowing Shen Sui to select a Life Card from the graveyard and add it to the hand.

Admittedly, while Mitole may appear unreliable, her effect is undoubtedly top-notch.

Following this effect, Shen Sui retrieved [Dragon Maid’s Grace] from the graveyard back to his hand.

Immediately, he activated this [Dragon Maid’s Grace] once more.

"Doesn’t this effect have a once-per-turn restriction?" Doron voiced a question similar to what many of Shen Sui’s opponents had asked.

"Nope," Shen Sui replied with a cheerful smile, "However, Dragon Maids Special Summoned by this method will return to my hand at the end of the turn."

Doron’s mouth twitched slightly.

Does this negative effect even count as one?

It’s as if Mitole, who just returned to the hand, can simply be summoned again through normal means and won’t be affected by this effect, right?

That’s exactly what Shen Sui did.

He first used [Dragon Maid’s Grace] to Special Summon [Dragon Maid Delia] from the deck.

Then he liberated Delia, exchanging her for Soul Points.

"Activate [Dragon Maid Delia]’s effect. When she leaves the field due to liberation, it can trigger, Special Summoning a multi-form follower from my deck," Shen Sui laid out his deck, "If the summoned multi-form follower has a Dragon Maid form, I can summon it in Dragon Maid form."

Shen Sui pulled Qishala from his deck.

"I choose to Special Summon [Dragon Maid Head Maid Qishala] to my field."

Head Maid Qishala walked gracefully onto Shen Sui’s field.
