[Poisondragon Roar!!!]

As soon as the newly revealed card [Poisondragon] was displayed, it let out a long howl towards the sky.

[Roar!!!]

[Even... hungrier!]

Immediately, [Scorpion-tailed Dragon] and [Thought Dragon] responded in kind, roaring back.

Li Pu's dragon cards began to transform shortly after.

[Poisondragon] Attack Power 30→60, Health 200/200→240/240

[Scorpion-tailed Dragon] Attack Power 10→40, Health 100/100→120/120

[Thought Dragon] Attack Power 20→50, Health 50/50→60/60

All dragon cards received a boost of +30 attack power and +20% health.

Earlier, he frequently had [Thought Dragon] activate and deactivate [Dragon Thought Body] and had [Scorpion-tailed Dragon] repeatedly summon [Stone Phantom] just for [Dragonmush] ([Poisondragon]) to activate this effect.

[Dragon Ascension]: When Dragonmush is on the field and friendly dragon cards cumulatively release skills 10 times, it will enter [Dragon Ascension Mode] for 1 turn.

The last skill built up was completed by [Scorpion-tailed Dragon] releasing a skill.

Furthermore, Li Pu timed it perfectly, swapping in the trump card [Dragonmush] during the substitute stage just as the accumulated skills reached the threshold.

This allowed its transformation and buildup phase to coincide precisely with the accumulation of 10 skills in the same turn.

[What kind of synergy effect is this?!]

The BOSS was dumbfounded.

While previously unafraid of these three cards, now it was a different story!

With such high attacks crashing down, just 1 turn could take out half of its 200(100) health!

And crucially, the opponent had a bunch of stone cards blocking its path, making it difficult to target the trump card.

If not for already being on the table as the trump card and losing some board manipulation abilities, the BOSS might have opted for surrender.

However, being a BOSS, it couldn't surrender lightly. It's a matter of dignity.

[Die!]

[Roar Roar!]

[Poison Roar!] 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

[Hungry Hungry!]

The four cards suddenly lined up together as one.

Within just 1 turn of engagement, the BOSS's shield was obliterated.

And it was in a dire situation because it overlooked [Poisondragon] had one more round of poison.

At the end of the action phase, a burst of 15-point damage jumped.

In an instant, its health dropped to only 135 points, with two turns of [poisoned] status remaining.

"What on earth was that..."

Below the card platform, Zhi Liao was stupefied.

What did Li Pu junior do in this turn to make the BOSS lose more than half of its health all at once?

Moreover, his poison was fierce; typical [poisoned] status causes damage jump at merely 10 points, whereas his ticks at 15 points.

"Could it be that he really might defeat the BOSS?"

"Winning with 2+1 against 6+1?"

She found it simply unbelievable.

"Senpai, stop standing there, aren't you tired?"

At this point, Ah Yajun had completely given up.

Leaning leisurely against a large sideways tombstone, he looked relaxed.

"Let's just wait and see what rewards the instance will yield soon."

Upon mentally accepting this fact, Ah Yajun adapted to lying down quickly.

Unknowingly, he too had become part of the Ulong squad.

And he deliberately emphasized the word "see" heavily.

It was truly just taking a casual look, considering neither of them eliminated the final BOSS.

The subsequent card game proceeded extremely smoothly.

Though Li Pu's [Dragon Ascension Mode] only lasted 1 turn, the BOSS's remaining 135 health posed no real threat.

[Scorpion-tailed Dragon] demonstrated formidable protective abilities throughout, repeatedly releasing [Stone Phantoms] coupled with self-sustained [Defense], keeping the BOSS entirely unable to touch [Poisondragon].

If not for [Poisondragon] periodically losing health, thus imposing a time limit, simply relying on [poisoned] could have taken it down.

[Looks like I need to sleep once more...]

After its cards were crushed, the BOSS broke free from the cards, manifesting back as a physical entity.

However, its skeleton began disassembling, turning into individual bones flying toward various parts of the graveyard.

With its complete disintegration, the graveyard seemed eerily silent, lacking the cold winds.

Even the sun slowly rose, bringing warmth to the three of them.

If not for tombstones scattered around and graves evident everywhere, this place almost felt like a small park perfect for a casual spring outing.

"It's over."

Standing on the slowly descending card platform, Li Pu rubbed his nose bridge.

It seemed battling the BOSS drained spiritual power quickly.

He felt a slight fatigue, no wonder Ah Yajun passed out instantly after losing once earlier.

Bang! Bang!

With the card platform dissipating, two treasure chests suddenly fell from the sky, landing in front of them.

"The instance rewards, finally here."

Zhi Liao immediately revealed a look of joy.

Though not planning to share, she was certainly curious to see what would drop.

Furthermore, even as a spectator, she did contribute to clearing the instance.

"How shall we divide this?"

Standing before the treasure chests, Li Pu looked at the two others.

The quality of these two treasure chests was noticeably higher than the two opened from defeating a small BOSS earlier.

He had a hunch that they might contain S-class items.

"I'll not take part."

Faced with Li Pu's question, Zhi Liao was quite candid.

She felt aside from acting as a guide, she didn't significantly aid in this instance.

Being able to record a smooth and rapid clearing of the instance on the association side was already quite good.
