Chapter 193 Atatis in a Pomegranate Red Dress
When the live broadcast room announced the start, a light shone on the four-player table and a stack of cards rapidly swept across the screen for the audience to see, before settling down again.
[The Demon team's deck is "Mesmer under the Moon" and "Lamentations of the Ice Prison," the former leans towards control and unexpected plays, while the latter focuses on straightforward battlefield presence and direct damage.]
[The Friend team's decks are "Lightning Chariot" and "Pomegranate Blood Skirt," the former leans towards fast attacks and building presence, while the latter is more complex, requiring various Fruit effects in combination with Ritual Arcana.]

Veteran viewers in the room began explaining to those less knowledgeable, some even started their own live streams, dedicated to broadcasting and commentating.
[First, the battlefield is chosen at random—each player selects three battlefields to add to the dice, making 12 dice faces in total.]
Three points of light appeared in front of each of the four players on the table, then converged onto the 12-sided die suspended in the center, engraved with different symbols, after which the ancient Bronze Dice started spinning rapidly, until finally, it suddenly fell, firmly attaching itself to the exact center of the table like a magnet.
'Battlefield: White Cliff Highlands'
The dice turned into golden Light Sand, spreading across the entire table, followed by a lifelike terrain emerging.
Pale cliffs and sharply defined rocks scattered like white bones, with three towers of varying sizes on a cliff corner of the map, slightly tilted and showing signs of erosion from the wind and sand. On the land blown over with white sand and pebbles, a line of knights in Armor marched alone, riding their gaunt warhorses, carrying tattered flags, with Longswords and Lances at their waists full of notches and wear. These figures appeared and disappeared in the blowing sand, emerging at intervals on the map, adding a desolate feeling to the scene.
Battlefield effect: Creatures and Cards with elements such as Knight, Wind, Sand, Winged Tribe, Tower, Wizard, white bones, Rock, etc., can be used smoothly. If not compatible, each card used costs the main combatant 1 hit point (full health 30), and the effect of this battlefield continues for 3 rounds.
[It seems this was a face engraved by Purple Lightning Lala, without a hint of demon elements.] Someone in the live stream room commented.
"Early disadvantage, huh." The purple-haired demon big sister tapped her chin with her fingertip, pondering over her Cards.
"It must be my usual bad luck affecting you." Tetina said apologetically, her luck was always bad.
"Hmph, no need to apologize for that kind of thing." The demon big sister drew a Card and then a purple-red egg with vivid pulsing blood vessels emerged from the table's world, attaching itself to the white-sand-covered rocky ground.
Demon's Egg, 0/1, can choose to hatch in 1/2/3 rounds; the longer the rounds, the stronger the hatching demon will be. If destroyed before hatching, restores 2 hit points to the main combatant. (On the banks of Hell's River of Magma, worms often hatch here.)
"It's still the same as before."
Purple Lightning Lala's mouth curled into a slight smile, and then she too drew a Card, engraved with an old man walking through the wind and sand.
'Ageing Knight', 2/1, its attack power decreases by 1 with each attack, when it dies it grants a 'Knight' on your side +1/0.
Wearing worn-out Armor, his head wrapped in a white bandage, and behind him a grey-white cloak with notches, the aged Knight carried a Broad Sword and walked with a wooden staff through the desert. (May this sword guide you, as it has guided me, to a path of glory.)
[This Card is only somewhat useful in the early game; I didn't expect Purple Lightning Lala to still carry it.]@@novelbin@@
After Clara finished her turn, it was Tetina's turn. She seemed to have few options and simply played a blue Card.
'Ice Path', Field Card, if a creature with an 'Ice' element is summoned, it gains +1/+1 and can immediately attack the opponent's creature.
A path made of small, deep blue stone slabs gradually took shape on the grey-white rocky land, and the end of the path was shrouded in a veil of mist.
Finally, it was Hexia's turn, who after some thought, drew a Card.
'Maid Carrying a Tray', 1/1, when entering the field, randomly adds a Card with the 'Fruit' element to your hand.
A maiden in a black and white long dress walked through a courtyard, with a white fountain and marble corridors visible in the background, and on her silver tray, an assortment of fruits were displayed, including grapes, pomegranates, persimmons, and currants, etc.
Since this Card did not fit the category included in 'Battlefield: White Cliff Highlands,' entering the field cost Hexia's main combatant a drop of blood.
[The first round ends, it looks like Purple Lightning Lala has the upper hand with two creatures on the field, ready to attack next turn.]
The spectators discussed the progress as the second round began.
Since there were already creatures on the opponent's field, hesitating further would only result in the Demon's Egg being destroyed for nothing, so the demon big sister chose to hatch it.
The pulsating Demon's Egg on the field suddenly increased in throbbing intensity, and then a blood-red imp with sharp teeth and a double-pointed fork in his hand leaped out.
'Lesser Imp', 1/1, gains +1 attack during an attack and returns to its original state after the attack. (It is the most contemptible and weakest of all demons, even a farmer can poke it to death.)
After that, the demon big sister expended two Mana Crystals and placed a red Card on the table, from which a Flame-covered serpent slithered out.
'Lava Serpent', 2/2, deals 1 point of Flame damage to the opponent in combat; if the opponent is also a 'Flame' type creature, it is immune to this damage. (Its twisting, burning body presents a constant nuisance to the frontier warriors.)
