Episode 39:
Misfortune and fortune are like a rope
"Damn...
A real case? It's really not just F-rank dungeons?"
When
I realized that this attack was man-made, all I could think about was my
conversation with Anna.
If
something that could not have happened naturally is happening, then the cause
is external.......
When
Anna said that and pointed out the possibility of a criminal case, I was
actually a little skeptical.
It
would be too hard of a hurdle to cheat the surveillance cameras at the
dungeon's administration gates and dungeon marts to continue the crime.
If
such skills actually existed, I would have thought that there were better ways
to make money.
But
now that it was actually in front of me, there was no longer any room for
doubt.
I
don't know how, but this assailant had some way of covering his tracks.
As
far as I can see, there was no sign of the master, but the person probably
controlled their cards remotely using the Link.
The
Link, which can remotely control cards, can also used in this way to attack
other adventurers by posing as monsters in the dungeon.
This
was the reason why the linking technique was generally kept under wraps.
The
link technique was too convenient in the dungeon.
The
reason why there was no qualification system was because it was possible to
learn it by oneself if one became sufficiently familiar with the card, and so
the priority was placed on preventing the spread of the knowledge.......
However,
if other adventurers were killed only when a particular person was lurking
around, the police or guilds will eventually get involved in the investigation.
And
once the investigation was underway, it was a dead end for the criminal. This
was because some monsters and magic items can read minds.
Therefore,
I was caught off guard ...... since assaults in the dungeon are actually far
too few.
"......"
My
heart began to beat at an uncomfortable pace at the genuine malice that made my
skin crawl, something different from the safety of MonColo.
I
clenched my faintly trembling fingertips and breathed deeply. It's okay, the
enemy has three C-rank cards, one of which is wounded. In contrast, I have one
B and one C-rank card, along with four D-rank cards. I have a good chance of
winning. If it came down to it, there is also an unused lycanthrope card.
『Renge,
Eliza... I'll use the Synchro first to get rid of the two unscathed ones in one
fell swoop. Yuki, Mea, Suzuka, and Dragonet, finish off the injured black
lycanthrope. I'm sorry, but I don't have enough room to command that side. I'm
sure the abnormal statuses will dissipate sooner or later, so be careful.』
『Roger
that!』
The
stalemated battlefield began to move again as the D-rank cards began their
attack.
The
first to move was the second white werewolf. The target of the attack was
Eliza. Since Renge was airborne, it was probably the only real option for the
lycanthrope, who excels in close combat. It attacked with silver claws equipped
on both arms. Using that as a cover, the third reddish-brown werewolf
disappeared as if melting into the darkness.
Is
this another assassin type? .......While holding back the urge to click my
tongue, I decided to prioritize dealing with the white werewolf for now.
Eliza's
body, which had been injured by the silver weapon, was still still feeling dull
pain. Even so, the fact that there seemed to be no hindrance to her fighting in
itself was probably a strength of the undead type. However, if I use my will in
a bad way, she might be hindered, so I'll keep the synchronization only to
release her fighting power.
Vampires
and werewolves. The two are quite similar in lore, but while vampires are more
magic-oriented, lycanthropes are more melee-oriented.
In
terms of physique, the difference was nearly double, and the white werewolf
used its superior stature to slam its strong arm from overhead.
The
white werewolf's movements were clearly more compact than those of the wild
lycanthropes with whom we had fought many times before, and it was obvious that
it had [Martial arts] skill.
In
this situation, Eliza would be at a disadvantage in terms of size and physical
ability, even though she also possessed [Martial arts] skill.
If
there was one aspect in which she had an advantage, it would be....
"Kh!"
Eliza
exhaled shortly, and her palm hand struck the strong arm from the side. The
timing of the move was so precise that it was as if she could see the future.
.......Eliza
had an advantage in the precision of her movements and her intuition. Her
[Precision movement] and [Intuition] skills gave her the ability to move one
step faster and more accurately than physically superior opponents.
The
werewolf, whose arm was repelled, however, turned to attack again without the
slightest flinch.
A
wild strike. A high-speed attack that the human eye can no longer follow. The
werewolf attacked with its size and physical ability, and the vampire prevented
with its precision of movement and intuition. The first of the two to fall was
the...... wounded female vampire.
Eliza's
body slumped slightly as she blocked the werewolf's blow. Her stance was
disrupted by the wound in her side, making it just a little harder for her to
hold her ground. The white werewolf did not miss that opportunity.
A
flash of silver runs through the air. It was a blow a blow that prioritized
speed and certainty over power.
It
cut off three fingers of Eliza's left hand and ---- shots of white light
pierced through the werewolf's body.
It
was a sniping by Renge, who had been aiming at the moment the werewolf
attacked, aiming at the gap between Eliza and the werewolf.
The
three streaks of bright light pierced the werewolf's right leg, left arm, and
right eye, where the werewolf had managed to avoid an attack to the head.
Finally,
the scales tipped in our favor.
The
moment I thought that, the darkness behind me suddenly expanded.
The
third werewolf, which had been hiding, bared its fangs. The enemy was also
looking for an opening to take down the prey.
A
red-furred werewolf appeared as if melting out of the dark night, swinging its
claws as if to tear my body apart.
Although
I tried to evade it, humans' movements were too slow compared to monsters.
——However.
『I
can read you.....!』
The
strong arms of the werewolf passed over my head as I slipped.
It
was too good to be called a coincidence, but of course it was due to the
blessings of the lady of luck.
The
reddish-brown werewolf, which had missed, had a momentary opening.
Just
as Renge was landing her strike,
『Kyaaaa!
? 』
『Gaaaaa…!
? 』
『Suzuka!?
Dragonet!』
Through
the Link, I could see the D-rank cards group's situation.
Looking
over, I saw Suzuka and Dragonet, both of whom had sustained near-fatal
injuries. Suzuka had a large cut across her chest, and Dragonet had one of its
wings torn off.
On
the other side, a black werewolf was breathing heavily with wounds all over its
body.
I
had asked the D-rank cards group to take care of the first werewolf that had
been affected by abnormal statuses, but it seemed that just as they had it
cornered to death, the abnormality wore off and they suffered a nasty
counterattack.
Perhaps
it had a skill that became active when it was on the verge of death...
Yuki
and Mea immediately tried to intervene, but unfortunately, the damage was too
great.
The
injuries inflicted on Suzuka and Dragonet were at a level where they could
become Lost if they were not put back on the card or given a recovery potion
right away. The Dragonet, in particular, had not been named and will not be
able to recover. Yuki and Mea also had quite a bit of damage, though not as
much as the two first cards.
What to
do......, use [Rain of Amrita]?
No, that is a
trump card that can only be used once. I want to save it just in case. D-rank
cards are not very effective against enemies of this level, so let's return
Suzuka and Dragonet to the cards here.
『You
have done well! Suzuka
and Dragonet, go back!』
『I'm
sorry, Master! I'm
withdrawing first!』
『I
told you so! I
told you to go home!』
『Why
are you so noisy?! I
know, I know! It
was my mistake! I'll
apologize later, but right now, go back first!』
I
yelled at Suzuka, who was clingy even at a time like this, and put the two back
in the cards.
『I'll
trouble you, Yuki and Mea, but I need you to join in the follow-up with Renge
and the others!』
『Understood!』
『Roger
that! Leave it to me! 』
Okay, now
there are only two of them left. And one of them is wounded. If all goes
well...
『Gh...!
』
--We can win.
The
moment I had such hopes, they were shattered.
The
sense of surprise and frustration were coming from Renge.
What
was at the end of her gaze ...... was the appearance of new enemies.
Though it was only about two meters tall, which was not very large for a
monster, its body radiated an intimidating presence that could not be compared
to a lycanthrope.
The
atmosphere that made it clear at a glance that it was a higher-ranking being
was somewhat similar to that of Renge's transformation into a goddess, and that
was when I realized the true identity of the enemy.
----B
rank card, Anubis. The god of the underworld in Egyptian mythology....... At
his side, 3 Garms were also present.
"Kuh
......!"
A
shameful sound unconsciously leaked from my throat.
What the hell
！！！！ Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh！！！！！！！
Screw you! Why do you have
to pull out a B-rank card here?!!!
If you have a
B-rank card, you shouldn't be doing something like this! !
Damn it, damn
it, damn it, damn it!
Despair
and anger spread through my body like poison. For the first time in a long
time, my legs were seriously shaking. I can't seem to muster the strength to
stand up properly. I was beginning to feel a real sense of death.
Can I win? The enemy have
one B-rank card and five C-rank cards. While I have one B-rank card, one C-rank
card, and two D-rank cards ....... Plus two unused C-rank cards. The numbers
are even, but .......
Let's think
calmly and draw a conclusion.... It's no good. We can't win....... There is too
much difference in strength.
Renge's
[Spiritual recurrence] has a time limit. Eliza is wounded. The D-rank cards are
outmatched in strength. The unused C-ranks have not developed their combat
capability and lack familiarity. In contrast, the enemy's strength is mostly
unknown. There could be additional backups.
There is no
choice but to flee. But can we escape......?
『What
should we do, Master?』
『…withdraw.』
『How?』
『Well,
that's.....』
There
was only one way out of here. But I was hesitant to actually say it.
Renge
stared at me quietly.
The
way she looked at me made the words she had said before come back to my mind.
——For
us, a name is proof that we're willing to die for the master, no matter how
many times it takes.
"......!"
I
made up my mind.
...but...
Ah...but still...I didn't want to say this.
『----Renge,
Eliza, and Mea, I will have you hold them back. I'll go with Yuki to the
gate,...... no, to the safe zone.』
......that
was the only way to survive.
There
were two ways to escape from here: the stairs to the top and the gate. However,
the gate is likely to have enemies waiting for us. If you think about it normally,
if the prey were to escape, they would go for the gate.
But
we have Hamelin's Flute. It can only be used in a safe zone, and it takes too
much time to activate, but if the enemy had set a net around the gate, we might
be able to escape from there.
The
question was whether the enemy would simply allow it.
It
was absolutely necessary for them to stay here until I could escape safely.
Even
if that was the same as telling them to become a discarded pawn, I had no
choice but to give that order.
I
looked away in discomfort, but Renge and the others grinned.
『Yes,
Master. be careful』
『Can't
be helped...... give me a reward later, won't you?』
『Leave
it to me. ......Oh, what do you say at a time like this? Um...... I'll take
care of this, you go on ahead! That right?』
『Renge
....... You idiot, that's...... a death flag.』
With
the thoughts of my friends flowing through the Link, I tried to call up the
lycanthrope cards to at least help them.
This
should make up for some of the gap in strength.
......But.
『That’s
not necessary.』
Renge
stopped me with her strong gaze.
『But,
just you three is......』
『There's
no guarantee that the enemy won't pursue you. Save that just in case.』
『Okay......』
Even
at this moment, Renge and the others were worried about my safety. I resisted
my vision from becoming blurry, and I went to mount Yuki.
『Let's
go.....!』
『Yes,
Master!』
"Hmph,
trying to escape, huh.....!"
The
Anubis and co. rushed to me as I was trying to run away.
There,
Renge stood in their way and said,
"I'm not
going to let you through here, even if it kills me!"
Amidst
the sounds of heavy fighting behind me, I synchronized deeply with Yuki and ran
in a straight line to the safe zone.
From
here, there was nothing I could do. All I could accomplish was to watch the
struggles of Renge and the others through the Link.
Against
the Anubis side, which was closing in on them by an overwhelming margin of
strength, Renge and the others were working in unison as a trinity to bite
back.
While
Mea interfered with her status ailment, Renge delivered blows with her high
firepower, and Eliza provided protection.
However,
compared to the Anubis side, which was superior in both number and quality,
Renge's side, which would be in a tight spot if even one of them slipped
through, was gradually being driven into a corner.......
『...Ah,
thought so... I'm weak after all.』
Shortly
after I started running, the first one that fellwas the only D-rank card, Mea.
No
matter how much effort was put into it, no matter how determined one might be,
the cruel reality called combat power would stand in the way.
『But
...... I won't be beaten as a freebie either!』
Still...but
still, the little demon of dreams showed her determination to the end.
『Aaaaaaaaaggh! Rengeeeee!』
Mea roared, spitting out blood. At the
same time, the card on my chest emitted a slight glow.
It was the glow when a card gained a
new skill.
I didn't have time to check it, but I
knew right away its effect.
『...Ah, you did a great job. Leave the
rest to me!』
A black miasma enveloped Renge. Her
skin turned uglier and blistered, and her glossy hair turned gray like an old
woman's.
She had turned into Kokuanten1, the
goddess of misery and misfortune, who was another side of the coin.
『——The Night of the End of the World』
Lotus muttered in a croaky voice that
sounded as if her throat had been crushed.
It was the unique skill of the
Kokuanten, which was the counterpart of the Kisshouten's [Rain of Amrita].
Centered on Renge, a black rain poured
down.
The Garms and Lycanthropes bathed in
it began to writhe and suffer. A rain of deadly poison and disease, that was
the true nature of the black rain.
"Hmph! This
is nothing against me!"
But Anubis, a B-rank monster and the
god of the underworld, had a high resistance to abnormal status, or so it did
not seem to have much effect on him, although he did seem to be in some pain.
And Renge laughed a little, saying,
『So, here goes...... Mea...』
『Die.....』
Friendship linkage - [Curse a man, and
you'll get two holes] x [The Night of the End of the World].
At that moment, a crackling sound
resounded within my chest.
The source of the sound was Mea's
card. When I took it out, I found that the illustration had disappeared from
Mea's card, and the entire card had turned sepia-colored.
This meant that Mea was Lost and had
became a soul card.
However, this was not a death in vain.
"Kuh?! Gah!!"
Suddenly, blood gushed out from all
over Anubis and co's bodies. It was bizarre wounds, as if the pain that Mea had
received had been returned directly to the other party.
The Garms were only seriously injured,
but the Lycanthropes were so badly wounded before that the attack was just
enough to stop them. Even Anubis had received wounds that were not shallow.
At the same time, Renge, who had used
up all her power, returned to her usual Zashikiwara appearance.
"......
have you felt the pain of my best friend?"
"You
pseudo B-rank!"
Anubis, filled with anger, attacked
Renge all at once as she grinned triumphantly.
"Mea......!"
I clenched my teeth and clung tightly
to Yuki.
At the last moment, what came through
from Mea was her frustration at being the first to drop out.
There was not a shred of resentment
towards me for making her a pawn, only her own helplessness and concern for her
remaining friends.
This, on the contrary, tore at my
heart more than any blame or condemnation.
『Master...I'm sorry. Please be safe.』
A little later, this time Eliza passed
on.
She continued to be a shield for Renge
until the very end. Losing her right arm, having her chest gouged out, her
stomach punctured, and losing a third of her head. She fell to the ground....
her body more lifeless than when she was a ghoul.
But there was no one among us who
would consider that body ugly.
The numerous injuries that were
unbearable to see were the very feelings she had for her friends.
"Eliza.....!"
Eliza's thoughts on the verge of being
Lost burned my heart.
As she lay dying, the only thing on
her mind was me and her friends.
Will Master
be able to escape safely? Did I manage to buy himself enough time? I'm sorry
for not being able to protect Mea. It's pathetic that I couldn't protect Renge
to the end.
Her heart, which was more concerned
about her friends than herself, was pure white, the same as when she was a
ghoul.
"Agh,
damn it...!"
My friends were dying.
My friends who had shaped me into the
person I am now, one by one...
I should have retreated as soon as I
realized that this attack was by humans. If I had done that, although I might
have lost some of the D-rank cards, we would not have been cornered to the
point of near total annihilation like this.
No, in the first place, if only I had
listened to Suzuka's words and went home right away.... If I had just become an
adventurer, I would have decided to retreat at the slightest sign of anything
unusual. But then, after the cards had grown and everything was going well, I
started to lose my sense of prudence.
I thought that if my phone broke, it
wouldn't matter if I was just fighting the Boss, and if other adventurers
captured the dungeon while I was returning, all the hard work I had done would
be undone.......
As a result of being caught up in
immediate gains, I lost my most important friends.
All of this was due to arrogance that
I had grown without realizing it.
"Sorry......
sorry......"
".................."
Yuki, who usually comforted me at
times like this, said nothing. That was loyalty in her own way, and I was most
grateful for that now.
And it was when I finally reached the
safe zone.
『Uta, maro......』
The third time 'it' sounded.
That was the sound of my partner, the
one who scolded me and supported me through all the tough times, dying.
The remaining enemy was only one Anubis.
Renge and the others had overcome the
disadvantage of being outnumbered five to three and had completely played the
role of stalling them.
In exchange for their precious
sacrifice, I had safely reached the safe zone.
And yet ......
I roared. Unspeakable rage burned and
gushed through my chest.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!! Damn
it aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!"
————Once I reached the safe zone in
front of the stairs, I saw a new Anubis
and two Garms.
Even though I was gritting my teeth,
my strength was drained from my entire body. Mea, Eliza, and Renge.......
Anubis spoke to me as I hung my head
on a threatening Yuki,
"......Return
that Coosie back to its card, discard your ownership of all your cards and
magic items, then place them on the ground. Including the soul cards."
"......
what?"
"Hurry
up! Do you want to be killed?”
My head rapidly cooled as Anubis
struck me with his murderous intent.
Requesting
the cards......? Does that mean it's just a robbery,
after all? Then why even Yuki and the soul cards?
I understand that they want ownership
of the normal cards. Because if they kill the master without letting him/her
dispose of the ownership, the cards will also disappear. But surely they
understand that named cards cannot have their ownership rights
relinquished.......
"Giving
up ownership of a named card can't be done, though?"
"Of
course I know that. You just have to do what I say."
"Even if
I do what you say, I'll just get killed afterwards......."
"Do as I
say and I'll let you off the hook. But you'll have to take the stairs to the
top to go back."
"......
What?"
If I leave
all my cards and magic items with you, you'll let me go? The
way back is the top? Then the end result is the same. I'll
just be killed by the monsters along the way. ......Why don't you just take
care of me yourself?
"What's
the purpose of doing this? You're not just doing it to steal cards, are
you?"
An adventurer with such high-ranking
cards should not have to commit crimes of taking someone else's cards. There
must be plenty of other ways to make money legally.
That was my intention in asking this
question, but I did not expect a response.
Criminals do not need to go to the
trouble of explaining their motives for committing crimes.
Even more when it is to someone who
was about to die.......
"Hmph...
you will not understand this noble aspiration even if you say it, You who
mistake the power of cards for your own power!”
But contrary to expectations, Anubis
responded to this, even with a hint of delight in his voice.
It was as if he had been asked
something he had been dying to say, and just then...
......Noble
aspiration? Mistaking the power of the cards for
my own power?
At that moment, something began to
flick in my mind.
"Well,
that's enough. Give me all ypur cards and magic items.''
My thoughts were interrupted by
Anubis, who was once again beginning to show his murderous intent.
"...I'm
not going to comply unless you promise to let me pass through the gate at the
lowest floor."
In fact, I wasn't going to give him
Renge and the others' cards even if they killed me, but I said that to find out
what they would do.
"Don't
get carried away! You know, you are the loser! You
want to get killed here?!"
"It's
all the same...... to get killed here or to go up there and die alone."
Why are they obsessed with making me
leave all my cards behind?
If I could grasp that, I felt like I
could approach the enemy's true identity.
However, it seemed that my attempts to
struggle had touched the enemy's nerves.
"...Enough,
if you're going to say that much then I'll kill you right here as you
wish."
Anubis' body slowly moved, and a
murderous intent that was completely different from before was released.
So this is
it. If it's like this, I'll do my best all the way.
"Okay.
I'll give you the cards..."
I said that and put my hand into my
pocket. It was not to give the cards to Anubis, but to call up the unused
lycanthropes.
I would never win, but I would at
least get one of the Garms to Lost.
If not, I would have no face to show
to Renge and the others that had stalled for me.
"......?"
At that moment, I felt an unusual
feeling in my pocket.
It was a card about a size larger than
a monster card. A [Distress] magic card.
Now that I think about it, did
something like this exist? I had no intention of using it, so I completely
forgot about it.
In fact, the [Distress'] magic card
would probably be of no use here. After all, this was the bottom floor. What
will happen even if I use the [Distress] card that randomly transfers to an
unreached floor?
Will I still be here, stuck, as a
failure of activation? ...Or, will I be thrown somewhere on a
floor I've already reached? ...... or something?
That was an idea that would not
normally have crossed my mind. Using an expensive [Distress] magic card in a
place where there was no other place to go.
...But it was worth the gamble.
It couldn't get any worse anyway. Then
it was worth it to bet everything on this card.
"What's
wrong? Hurry up!"
Anubis yelled at me as if he was
getting impatient. I didn't have time to hesitate, so I used the [Distress]
magic card.
“——Use
[Distress]!"
"What!?"
My body and Yuki's body light up in
front of Anubis, who was astonished.
"Like
I'm letting you get away!"
Even though the time for the magic to
activate was less than a second, Anubis was still quick to make a decision.
Like saying 'I'd rather kill you than
let you escape!', his right arm swung out!
Standing in front of me, who was powerless,
was Yuki, my last companion.
While fresh blood was scattering in
slow motion, there was a popping sound and we were teleported.
"......ster.
...up please."
"......Uu."
Someone shook my body and I regained
consciousness.
Apparently, I passed out.
When I opened my eyes, there was Yuki,
her dark green fur stained with blood.
"Yu
...... ki, are you alright?"
"Yes,
it's a little ...... stiff, but, I'm better than I look."
"I
see.... wait a minute, I'll use a potion on you."
As I was about to take out the
mid-potion from my bag, I noticed my surroundings for the first time.
"This
place, is ......?"
It was a white space with countless
spheres floating in the air.
In a space the size of a school
gymnasium, spheres like soap bubbles were floating in the air, and in them were
...... cards.
"......
Cards?"
Each one contained a familiar monster
card.
Battle Wolf, Kobold, Fairy,
Will-o-wisp, Carbuncle, Coosie, Hellhound, Lylaps.......
All of them were cards of monsters
that appeared in this dungeon.
I looked at them dumbfounded as I
poured a potion over Yuki's body.
The size of the soap bubbles varied,
and even the same type of monster card seemed to vary greatly in size.
As I peered into the rainbow-colored
spheres, a different view suddenly appeared in my eyes.
It was a scene of a small child
drowning in a river. A kindergarten-age boy was playing in a shallow part of
the river, but he ended up going into the deeper part of the river, where he
got caught by the current and was swept away. A couple who appeared to be his
parents, who were preparing for a barbecue by the riverside, rushed to jump
into the river, but they were too late.......
The boy's suffering and his parents'
anxiety and fear were directly conveyed to me as if I was using Link, and I
grunted lowly.
"Ugh, ku
......, what was......?"
It was as real as if the scene was
really happening somewhere in this world.
Just as I was about to take another
peek at the soap bubble next to me,
"Master,
take that one."
Yuki pointed to one of the bubbles.
There were two large soap bubbles in a
row, and as I approached them, I saw that each one contained a card with a
lycanthrope inside.
One male, and the other female.
"This is
......."
When I reached out to one of the
larger soap bubbles... the one with the female lycanthrope in it, the bubble
broke with a snapping sound.
The lycanthrope's card fluttered down.
[Race]
Lycanthrope
[Combat
Power] 800
[Inborn

・When
the moon is full, it follows
・Wolf Clothing
・Awakening of instinct
[Acquired
skills]
・The true one
・Breakthrough of limits
・True follower summoning
・Lord of the territory
・Advanced Ninjutsu
"S, so
strong....."
Is this
really a lycanthrope? Not only does it have double the initial combat power of
a normal lycanthrope, but it also has many skills that I have never seen
before.
What kind of skill is [The true one]?
Is [Breakthrough of limits] the reason for this high combat power? Is
[True follower summoning] different from [Follower summoning]?
And just then,
“W-what
the…!?”
"Master!"
Suddenly, a violent vibration hit us.
The white space cracked and the soap
bubbles broke one after another.
The crack instantly turns into a large
chasm, and the bottom was completely shrouded in darkness, making it impossible
to see. The cards that fell from the soap bubbles were sucked into the abyss.
What will happen if I fall into this
crevice...?
I felt a chill as the cards fell out
of sight, and I backed away.
"Master!"
Embraced by Yuki, I was running away
from the rift, but the footholds gradually became smaller and we were cornered.
Eventually, the last foothold
collapsed, and we fell into the abyss with screams.
[Tips] Magic
Cards
Among the magic items that emerge from
the dungeon, there are some that enable even humans to use magic. Magic cards
are disposable magic items that are the easiest to obtain.
They are mainly used in MonColo
because it is highly convenient as it can be activated simply by chanting the magic
name, and because it instantly expands the range of strategies.
The magic contained in the magic cards
is mainly magic that can be used by monsters, but there is also some magic that
has only been confirmed to be on magic cards. The magic card [Distress] is one
of them.
The effectiveness of magic cards has
been thoroughly tested, and of course, the use of [Distress] at the lowest
level has also been tested. The result was that it did not activate.
