Breaking the Deadlock, and Luna Wants Kittens Again

Terrifying!

Powerless!

The terror was the enemy's terror; the powerlessness was Ren Suo's powerlessness.

Though he could not see Isben's eyes, and Isben did not prattle on like other villains, Ren Suo was utterly certain that he was a Divine Descendant warrior with a three-star Divine Descendant Card!

Even compared to Los, who could react instantly to every movement, Isben's combat speed was still slightly faster than Los's—yes, faster than Los, not faster than Ren Suo.

Although the 0.9-second card selection time had caught Ren Suo off guard at first, he quickly began exerting his bond abilities to the fullest. "Insight into the Mortal World" gave him the fastest visual information intake speed, while "A Thousand Miles in a Day," enhanced by "Demon King Returns," stretched that 0.9 seconds into enough thinking time for him to arrange the sequence of attacks.

Yet it was useless. Los, whose instantaneous assaults should have been unstoppable, had every attack dodged, blocked, or even turned against him by Isben!

Because Isben possessed a three-star Divine Descendant Card, the skills of Los's two-star Divine Descendant Card were greatly weakened against him. For example, "Two-Star Violator" could lock down an enemy's Space Movement ability and drastically reduce their speed, but these effects barely did anything to Isben. It was probably like... getting a piece of gum stuck to the sole of his shoe, and the gum had already been chewed until it had lost most of its stickiness. It was annoying, but that was why Los got beaten so badly.

Ren Suo truly had not expected to encounter this kind of combat roadblock in such a casual puzzle game. The battle tempo was even faster than in ordinary action games.

Ren Suo now had to use an action card every 0.5 seconds on average. Within five
