Chapter 24: Family Battle (3)

"Ready! Fight!" Mariella said, lowering her hand fast. Ferin, who is about fifty feet away, started to run. He is fast and is about to hit me if I don't act quick. I need to summon a strong monster now!

"I summon Man Of Great Evil, VasFumudal!" I shouted to increase my speed in saying his name to manifest him. When he came out he drew his sword slashing at Ferin. Ferin raised his sword and both of them clashed as a loud metal sound rang through the air.

VasFumudal cost 2 mana, but I prepared a little bit and now my mana is only down a little.

Mana 10 -> Mana 8.

"So this is my master's brethren? Abnormally weak!" VasFumudal said snickering at Ferin. I used his monster's specific skill to summon The Spooky Scary Skeleton. The skeleton appeared and joined in the attack. Ferin ignored the skeleton because its attack didn't hurt.

"Gotcha!" Ferin said pushing my monster and raising his sword high. Knowing how high his stats are, I know one slice will kill him. If not injuring him immensely. So I will have to activate a spell card. I forgot the card required two warrior cards.

The spooky skeleton counts as a token rather than a warrior. To my surprise VasFumudal survived my brother's attack and just brushed off his attack. It must be some kind of fluke. Still I need a monster like now!

I drew a card and I put one into my mana to draw one more card. Just the card I need. Yoshi will be able to activate his effect since one card in the void is Yogen. "I summon Veteran Warrior of Dawn, Yoshi!" I shouted to manifest him into this world.

The mana I gained was spent on him so I still only have 8 mana from the Caster skill available to use. When Yoshi manifested the New Recruit, Yogen also manifested.

"The hell! This is unfair! How many punks will you summon!?" Ferin said in a fit of rage. I cannot fight him head on. I would most likely be defeated in one hit. So I need all the help I can get.

The skeleton and Yogen hit Ferin in the back. VasFumudal was able to land one hit on Ferin. This made Ferin a little weak for a fraction of a second. This was enough time for Yogen to punch Ferin in the face.

Ferin skill counter 25 -> 24.

Ferin unleashed a skill that blew my monsters back. Sadly the skeleton could not handle being pushed back and disappeared. Ferin started to have a face of anger and confusion mixed together!

"You, you inconceivable stain! How dare you take a skill from me. Swift step was a good skill! How the hell did you do that!" Ferin started to screech. Which was hard for me to understand what he was saying. It became unclear at the end of his second sentence.

"We take your skills. More like destroying your skills since the point is to make our masters' opponents weaker by the hit." Yogen said with a pompous tone.

"Yogen! You must not belittle your opponent. He is strong regardless of his skill count." Yoshi said, slightly bowing to Ferin. It seems like Yoshi is honor driven in his actions.

Ferin ran towards Yogen. Yogen was off guard and was only barely able to block Ferin's attack. Yogen had a big slash in his chest down to his stomach. Yogen coughed up some blood and his breathing is becoming heavier.

Damn Yogen needs to rest. I need him for later. Oh wait, Barbara can be used. Thankfully she requires a different pool of mana. She does take her while to summon. Should I activate this card now? I need to end this.

I am playing the long game rather than playing this like my life depends on it. Do I activate the card? No, for now I need to use my other skills! I have a demon blade I can summon! I have stealth skills. I should use them.

"Wow, that is an interesting skill. He can summon people to help him fight." Mariella said genuinely impressed by Sephker.
