After witnessing Naimus's Swordsmanship, the masked man no longer had any confidence in calling himself a master swordsman.
But having come this far, he had to use the sword in his hand to fight for a way out.
Naimus let out a faint breath and looked at the cards in his card slots, briefly assessing the condition of his current body.
"I can still fight for around ten rounds. After ten rounds, my body will enter a state of physical exhaustion."
"So I'll finish them within ten rounds." A thought crossed Naimus's mind.
There had previously been only enough room here to maneuver three steps, which they had considered Naimus's disadvantage.
But now, it had become their disadvantage instead.
Taking one foot forward was a short step; only when the other foot followed forward was it a full step.
A distance of three steps meant both feet could move forward in turn for three rounds.
It was too close.
Close enough that Naimus's sword seemed to be right in their faces.
The sword light chilled them to the bone.
As Naimus swung his sword, a card appeared in Shadow Man's hand, followed by a streak of gray shooting toward Naimus.

Though it was merely a two-star card, this spell was extremely effective against opponents who used weapons.
Many cards, such as Swordsmanship-type cards, could no longer be used once
