Chapter 16 The Consciousness of the Seal
The river water in spring is still cold, but fortunately the river in Tomoechi Town is not polluted and is still very clear - at least this is set in the game, otherwise Mikoto would not think she has the courage to join in.
Holding her breath in the water, Mikoto tried to broaden her perception of magic. At this time, the whole world seemed unusually quiet. Mikoto even had the illusion of being able to hear the whispers of fish fry in the water. This feeling did not last long, because Mikoto soon noticed the strangeness of the water flow, and the "fish" she really wanted was about to be hooked.[]
Of course, this statement may be arrogance. The one who really takes the bait may be Mikoto himself. In this water-filled environment, he simply voluntarily became a turtle in the jar.
The abnormality of the water flow became more and more obvious. It was obvious that the water card was nearby, but it never tried to contact Mikoto. The feeling of holding breath in the water was not very good. Mikoto, who was a little stuffy, swam towards the river, but at this moment, suddenly Mikoto felt her feet tightened, as if she was entangled by chains, and she immediately understood what was going on.
The water card actually picked this time to take action!
A vigorous drag made the air that was already left in Mikoto's abdominal cavity squeeze out. She forced herself to calm down, in fact, this was also what she had expected. In this case, Mikoto originally wanted to use electricity, but using strong electric shock in this public river is obviously very dangerous. Not only will it hurt the little lives living in the river, it may also pose a threat to the people around her. The only way to choose is the same--
Sakura also saw Mikoto trapped, but she couldn't help anything. Every time she wanted to get close, she was forced back by the water arrows flying out of the river. She could only sit on the seal stick and circled in the sky to avoid it. The dense water arrows were like machine guns, which made Sakura scream and couldn't take care of herself. The anxiety in her heart was useless.
But suddenly Sakura found that the water arrow shot at her had disappeared. Not only that, a huge floating ice floated up on the entire river.
"I've been killed, Sister Mikoto was frozen in the ice!"
"No, the Water Courou card does not have this ability. This should be done by the little girl himself."
Xiao Ke guessed that this was indeed the effect of Mikoto's spell. He used himself as bait to attract the escaped water cards and then used frozen spells to freeze them. Although the water cards have no body and cannot be captured, the ice shock wave formed by the "Frost Nova" with no dead corners in the entire range spreads out in an instant. As long as the water cards are within range, no matter where they hide, it will be useless.
However, such a spell is to hurt the enemy by 800 and damage one thousand. The "Frost Nova" itself will not cause harm to the caster, but the ice frozen by the cold air trapped Mikoto himself, and her whole body was constantly eroded by the cold. It was a severe cold of minus 30 degrees or 40 degrees. If it weren't for the strong system of the witch, ordinary people would be seriously frostbitten the moment they touched it.
The cold feeling quickly deprived Mikoto of her consciousness, but even so, she deliberately stopped the "heating" skill in order to prevent the ice from melting, and she was holding a magic weapon that sealed the Kuro card.
Consciousness is already difficult to maintain, but Mikoto understands why gaining strength is a necessary test. Every joint and even every cell in the body feels frozen, but Mikoto’s only efforts are to activate the sealing magic weapon in her hand until her consciousness finally falls into darkness.
Mikoto recovers consciousness from headaches. This is due to the lack of oxygen, which causes headache and dizziness caused by pressure on the brain, and the whole body is numb and painful.
"Sister Mikoto is awake!"
My eyes were blurred after opening my eyes. After a while, Mikoto saw clearly that it was a bedroom, which was obviously not a hotel. It was quite warm and gave people the feeling of "home", and it was not a hospital. Sitting beside the bed where she was lying was Sakura and Tsushi.
"Sakura... Zhishi, what is this?" While speaking, Mikoto found that her throat was dry and dull, and Zhishi also found out that she carefully handed a glass of water from the side.
"This is my home. Today my mother works overtime, so there is no one else at home."
This is the Zhishi Family? Although the room is not very luxurious, it gives people a warm feeling and the decoration is very tasteful. Zhishi's mother is the chairman of a large toy company. The family is very rich. It can be seen from the fact that she actually has a group of personal bodyguards. It is just that she is gentle and lovely in normal times, and she often forgets this point, without the airs of a rich man.
After drinking half a glass of water, Mikoto felt much better. Looking around the room, she soon found a jade card on the bedside table next to her. She couldn't help but feel happy. She picked it up and saw that it was indeed a Sukuro brand.
"Congratulations on your sealing success." Xiao Ke, who was originally flying in the air, stood beside Mikoto's pillow, and said congratulations but his expression was very serious. "Although he looks so persistent and courageous, little girl, are you too careless of your health? This time it's too dangerous!"
"Yeah, yeah." Sakura nodded constantly, "I was so scared just now, Sister Mikoto."
I was frozen in the ice for more than ten minutes. After the water card was sealed and the ice cube formed disappeared, Mikoto, who was rescued from the water by Sakura, could hardly feel her breathing. No wonder Sakura was afraid.
However, if you want to say reckless words, Mikoto actually has her own considerations, because she is very clear that she will never die like this. Although the "Taopantai Uniform" worn by Mikoto is not visible on the surface, it is indeed a "magic weapon" with the powerful attribute of "protagonist effect": hp locking in endangered situations, that is, as long as it is not subject to a fatal blow, whether it is flooding, suffocation, or poisoning, hp will severely damage the coma after it is reduced to a certain level, but then hp will be locked at the lowest value and will not be deducted to ensure that the character will not die.
So Mikoto was able to conclude that she was only suffering from physical pain at most. Compared to being able to obtain a Kuro card or even a main card with one of the four elements, this is really a profit!
He carefully looked at his second Kuro card. The strong and pure magic made Mikoto excited, and soon she discovered another thing that made her happier.
[Water card (S-level prop, incomplete): Dark (Moon) camp, water attribute main card, sealed. Owner: Misaka Mikoto. Among the effects seals, 34% of the current liberation (depending on the user level and other factors, the exclusive prop "Seal Staff" can be used to 100% liberate the effect)
Current effect: create a large amount of water flow, and can attack, defend, or form chains that limit enemy movements, consume 5-50 mana (determined by the attack strength), maintain 15 seconds, and cool down time of 5 minutes. When holding this card, the water system spell level is increased.]
[The liberation degree of the card game is improved, the current effect (liberation degree 49%): create a large amount of foam, has a corrosion defense effect, and a certain chance of causing the enemy to be weak and dizzy. It requires 10 mana, maintain for 15 seconds, and cool down time of 10 minutes]
The liberating degree of Kuro’s card that can exert its effect has been improved! Not only the water card, but also the bubble cards that were conquered before have become much stronger. The liberating degree has suddenly increased from 29% to 49%! The bubble that could only create cleaning ability is now possessed, but now it has the ability to assist attack.
Mikoto's character level has not been improved, which means it is because of other factors. Mikoto quickly realized what the so-called "other factors" mean because the system itself gave the answer.
[System tip: The liberation of the effect of Kuluo cards is related to the number of collections. For every extra card collected, the liberation of all the decks in this attribute will be increased by 3%, and the liberation of the main card will be increased by 5%; for every main card collected, the liberation of all the decks in this attribute will be increased by 20%; for every core card collected (light, dark), the liberation of all the Kuluo cards in this system will be increased by 30%]
Because Mikoto originally had a ‘sucking card’ among the water attributes, the liberation of the water card increased from 29% to 32%. Because the main cards with this attribute were collected, the liberation of the soaking card increased by 20%, from 29% to 49%, and the effect suddenly changed from pure cleaning to auxiliary combat, which became much stronger.
In other words, if you can obtain a full set of Kuro cards, you can fully exert your power even without a seal stick, which makes Mikoto, who was originally worried that she would not be able to use Kuro cards normally.
I drank a bottle of healing potion and another bottle of physical potion. Although my mental fatigue could not be relieved, my body quickly recovered. In fact, there was no external trauma except for temporary hypoxia and cold Mikoto.
"Why is it getting up? It'll be better to keep taking a break."
"Thank you, but I'm fine." Rejecting Zhise's kindness, Mikoto got up from the bed, "It's too late now, so it's not good to continue disturbing, and Sakura is so. Will the family be worried if they don't go back at this time?"
"Haha~~" Sakura smirked twice. In fact, she sneaked out of the attic using the 'Xiang Card' without telling it. Her family was completely unaware of this, so there was no way to talk about it if she was worried.
"By the way, does Sister Mikoto have a cell phone? Can we exchange numbers?"
Of course Mikoto has a mobile phone, but Sakura and Chise also have mobile phones that surprised her. After all, the stage of "The Magic Card Girl Sakura" is Tokyo at the end of the 20th century, and emerging electronic products such as mobile phones have not yet been popularized, let alone elementary school students.
In fact, Sakura and Chise's mobile phones are both new products of Chise's mother company. The shape of the stars and moons looks very similar to the Kuro brand. It is the "Kulo brand mobile phone" that Chise specially asked her mother to customize in the world (Sakura, Koko, Chise).
After successfully exchanging mobile phone numbers, Mikoto was a little surprised. This is a bit ridiculous Gua Tai mobile phone. If the address book is allowed to be seen by players, it will probably be very surprised. Sakura, Shise, Hatsune, Kuroko, and Tifa, are all national idols in the anime industry~~
