My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Martina's Bubble No. 3.

Shen Sui blinked, looking at the card that popped up on the screen.

"Martina is still the same as ever," Freymia leaned on Shen Sui's shoulder and said, "Very anxious, she snatched Alice's big squid and didn't even show up. She just left a note and ran away."

"Oh dear, should she regret this in the future?" Freymia covered her mouth, chuckling, "She missed the best opportunity to reunite with you."

Shen Sui was also helpless.

Martina's character indeed was like this.

She wouldn't easily interact with any stranger.

If it hadn't been for the Sea God forcing her, Martina wouldn't have actively put her hook on Shen Sui's line to interact with him.

Martina's Bubble No. 3, a tool with a rather casual name, is undoubtedly one of the strongest bubbles Martina has.

If I remember correctly, in the game, Martina's Bubble No. 3 is a tool that rapidly depletes the enemy, one of the best items for strategizing multi-boss levels.

It doesn't need magic power to activate, can't be nullified by any magic, and ignores any level disparities and the opponent's own effects, directly removing an opponent's fixed unit from the battle until its duration ends.

"Shouldn't we let Alice go find her?" Freymia nudged Shen Sui's waist, saying, "Martina shouldn't have run far."

Shen Sui shook his head helplessly and said, "You're underestimating Martina. She's probably already in another sea area by now."

Martina's fish scales have the effect of teleporting items, and she herself can move quickly in the sea.

The moment Martina's bubble appeared, Shen Sui used his power as quickly as possible to search for Martina's location, but Martina's speed of escape was too fast. In just a few seconds, Shen Sui could no longer sense Martina's presence.

No wonder my house always has different kinds of fish in the game.

Even though Shen Sui knew these were gifts from Martina, not once was he able to catch Martina's glimpse.

Is this the terrifying ability of the socially anxious mermaid?

Shen Sui was quite helpless.

Among all the female characters Shen Sui had completed in "Dawn Link," only Vivian and Martina hadn't reunited yet.

"You look quite down," Freymia looked at Shen Sui's expression, feeling a bit jealous, but being an understanding wife, she thought for a moment and said, "You can leave a message in the sea. As the princess of the sea, Martina will definitely sense this information. You must have planned Alice's upcoming route, right? Let Martina wait for you in a city along the way?"

"Right," Shen Sui's eyes lit up, joyfully giving Freymia a kiss, "Thank you, Freymia."

Freymia touched her lips, pouting slightly with jealousy, "I regret it, being kissed for such a reason."

Shen Sui laughed, pinching Freymia's waist, causing Freymia to laugh and start rolling on the bed.

After comforting Freymia, Shen Sui turned his attention back to the Life Card Slot.

Sure enough, the effect of [Martina's Bubble No. 3] was very similar to that in the game.

*****

Card Name: [Martina's Bubble No. 3]

Category: Permanent Spell Card

Star Level: 13 stars

Effect: The card is unaffected by other card effects, and its activation cannot be chained by other card effects. When stacking materials, the card's second effect cannot be activated.

① When your followers' total star level on the field is lower than the opponent's, using this card does not require paying a cost;

② During both players' turns, you can select a Follower Position area with a follower as the target, stack the follower card in that area under this card to activate it, disabling that area. When this card is activated, during the third main phase of your turn, you must activate this card's effect: send this card to the graveyard, release all disabled areas on the field, and special summon the stacked follower cards to their original follower positions.

******

If you choose an area to activate it, does that mean the effect is non-targeting?

And, looking at the description of the effect, swallowing the opponent's follower card isn't the effect, it's the cost.....

Ah.....Sure enough, no matter where, Martina's Bubble No. 3 is still so outrageous.

After all, it's Martina's ace spell.

Although it can only last three turns, in a Life Card Duel, three turns is already a very long time. If the opponent has a key card swallowed by the bubble, surviving for two turns becomes uncertain.

Shen Sui quickly calmed his mind, inputting the command, and scattering his return message into the sea, along with agreeing upon a meeting city.

[Alice was rescued by the Sea Race who received the message.]

[Xia Lulu was shocked at the Three Bubble No. 3 on Alice.]

[Xia Lulu's sister, Meria, soon arrived.]

["Huh? Is this Miss Martina's Bubble?" Alice said in surprise, looking at the bubble, now shrunk into a pearl, in her hand.]

[Oshana had told her a story about the Twilight Bishop, and there seemed to be such a person.]

[Seemingly the Mermaid Princess captured by Claude.]

Damn it!

That damned church is slandering me again!

It was clearly Martina who hooked onto my line of her own will. How could it be made out to be a capture!

Shen Sui grit his teeth, deciding to eradicate all the insect pests of the church spreading these rumors about him.

["Ah! What a miss!" Alice was full of regret.]

[Martina might be one of Claude's harem too!]

[Meria sincerely thanked Alice for killing the Master of the Deep Sea.]

[Along with her previous help against the Sea God, Meria decided to offer Alice a large amount of jewelry as reward and promised that henceforth, Alice would be a friend of the sea. Should Alice need assistance in the future, the Sea Race would come right away.]

Watching Alice happily stuffing the jewels into her Supreme Level Storage Ring, Shen Sui showed a doting smile.

Ah...

Without realizing it, Alice has grown to a point where she could handle things independently?

Being able to solve a fourteenth tier Deep Sea Giant Beast without any help of his own.

Though with many coincidences and leveraging a lot of items, success was success, and indeed it was a surprising thing to Shen Sui.

Looking at Alice now, who would have thought she was just a little girl from the wheat fields not long ago?

[Alice inquired about the intelligence of the Deep Sea Fish King from the Sea Race.]

[Alice set out to sea once again.]

[This time, she is determined to catch the Deep Sea Fish King!]

[The Golden Ship came along.]

[Alice refused the Golden Ship's help.]

Alice, sometimes you need to know when to accept fate.

Seeing this, Shen Sui shook his head.

Some people are meant to never catch anything in a lifetime.

[Alice successfully caught the Deep Sea Fish King.]

???

No! Alice! You're suspicious!

[Ding! You have received the Follower Card: Deep Sea Fish King · Cleveland]

In the Dawn Continent, Alice's laughter echoed over the sea.

"Got it! I caught it!!!!"

And further in the distance, a graceful silhouette rose from the water's surface.

She blew bubbles with a happy smile in her eyes.

You're back, Claude.

Blub blub.

Alice's Deep Sea Fish King was something she herself put on the hook.
