This was one of the rare times Naimus had engaged in a card duel through direct combat.
Most of the cards Naimus needed were Swordsmanship-type cards.
And Swordsmanship was an acquired concept.
In the previous incidents, because most of the NPCs possessed a certain degree of intelligence, Naimus could basically clear them without needing to fight.
After all, intelligence meant having basic judgment.
What Naimus possessed was indeed an immense fortune to them.
Using it as the price, Naimus found clearing [Death Canyon] far easier.
This sort of event, one focused purely on the thrill of battle, was still a first for him.
Naimus had two choices at this moment: use his core cards.
Core cards did not need to be drawn. They existed within his body and could be used at any time.
But directly using a core card would also cause a problem: it occupied a card-drawing slot.
Most of the time, Card Wielders did not use a card immediately after drawing it.
Instead, they appropriately kept cards in hand.
Then, once they drew the crucial cards, they would unleash them all at once and kill the enemy.
Using a core card meant losing one chance to draw.
It could only be said that although Card Wielder battles were not turn-based, they still seemed to possess the concept of "one action's worth of time."
Within one action's worth of time, certain things conflicted with one another.
Naturally, Naimus would not directly use a core card.
He held his sword in one hand and made a motion with the other. A card flew from the card slot and landed in his hand.
He did not even need to look to know what card it was.
