It was late at night. I was told that Shileka of the Team Fire would pass through this particular street, so i decided to wait and ambush that soldier. But instead of her, i noticed a figure in red as he passed through.
Glennfoo the red.
My grip on the dagger tightened. It was the General of the Team Fire. If i could defeat him right there, surely...
"I know you're there."
And following his words, he caused an explosion just near me. I was unharmed, but the Cloak i wore was burnt out.
"So you did notice me."
"Indeed. And now, let's fight."

The general in front of me summoned two Photons, entity of the Light. Such weak creatures couldn't even put a scratch on my light armor. As one of them charged at me, i narrowly evaded it and summoned creature of the Dark, Parasite. It was not strong either, but it should be enough to poison this General's creatures.
But suddenly, the two Photons exploded in a bright flash. And when the light faded, i noticed a rocky figure, a golem of some sort, standing beside a rustling spirit. Lava Golem, one of the most feared Fire soldiers. But as if they weren't enough, the General took out a bottle of boiling red potion and threw it at my critter, burning it upon impact. I was defenseless against the assault of those creatures.
"Attack!"
The two creatures clubbed me. As the Golem's hit was slow, i dodged it easily. But i didn't notice the Spirit who charged straight at me, sending me away. I hit a tree behind me, but even while beaten up, i still showed resistance.
"Do you think that's all from me? Think again!"
With another summon scroll, i called upon another Parasite, similar to the first one. And with another scroll, i conjured a Death barrier, also known as Bone Wall. These formidable defense should give me some time to plan my attack.
The Red General summoned a Lycanthrope which helped him and the other creatures tear down the wall i've just summoned. I checked my hand for the available options for me. At that moment, i realized that i wouldn't make it. As my hand still contained enough cards to keep my strategy a secret, i just accepted my fate as the Golem clubbed me into oblivion.
ROUND 2
I started off more careful this time, as i've noticed his strategy and he haven't noticed mine. I started off with my trusted Parasite. I just waited as the General summoned two Photons. But instead of ordering them to attack me, he sacrificed the two to summon a pair of Golems, guarding him like sentries guarding the entrance to an ancient tomb. The two Golems dashed forward, but i could evade their attack.
"Parasite, poison the left Golem!"
The Parasite let loose its venom, biting the left Golem just as it was about to hit me. It then proceeded to pounce the General. But as its attack was weak, the General just stood there, unaffected by its attack.
"Golems, attack again!"
I was having a hard time keeping up with those Golems. Everytime they would attack, i would retreat and let my Parasite poison one of the Golems further. But it seemed futile, considering that Golems can grow bigger by absorbing nearby rocks. The left Golem was noticeably poisoned, as indicated by purple liquid dropping through the cracks on its skin. But it was already too big to be stopped.
I summoned another Parasite to help bringing down the Golems. But before the Parasite could bit him, the General shot it with a white ray from his palm. The little critter was burned to crisp that instant, even before it could touch the ground in its fall.
With only one Parasite trying to face the almighty Golems, i couldn't win the game. The Golems grew bigger and bigger with each attack, and soon their hit left a crack on the ground, making my evasion harder. And as i slipped, the Golems didn't even hesitate to land the final blow.
ROUND 3
Is this the end? Is there no hope for me winning this battle?
I was staring at a lone Lava Golem blocking me from the General. I could feel a strong vibration on the ground. Must be the Graboid. But when did he summon it?
With a Parasite as my companion, i tried again to stall him as i brought this Golem down. Since the Graboid refused to surface, i could only attack the Golem for that moment.
It was when my grand spell was completed.
"Grant us engulfing darkness and empower our creatures."
I planted a ward to a ground near my feet, and suddenly the sky turned pitch black, much to my advantage. As the General and his Golem tried to look around, i stealthily unleashed two dreaded scorpions of the wasteland, the Deathstalkers. They quickly crawled up to the General and stung his heel via a narrow opening on his boots. I noticed the poison swiftly taking effect as the General coughed up blood from his mouth. Yet he used his sword as a support to attack me and win this battle once and for all.
"You think you can bring me down with just the poisons?"
The darkness didn't last long, because the General conjured up a fireball and threw it to me. I jumped backwards to evade that, but the fireball hit the ground below me, destroying the ward i planted. The scorpions i summoned ran around in panic, trying to hide themselves below tree roots. As for the Parasite, it was blasted by another Holy Light conjured by the General.
The Graboid surfaced the moment the darkness dissipated, along with a Forest Spirit freshly summoned. I managed to evade several hits while taking some. As i saw an opening, i planted another ward and at that moment, the battlefield was once again enveloped in shadow. I released another Deathstalker, and the three quickly approached the General to defeat him via deadly venom.
The General of Fire couldn't see well in a spell-conjured darkness. He could only stand there, occasionally stomping his feet to the ground to squash the scorpions. But Deathstalkers were small and deadly, they could easily evade such attacks. With my offense ready, i hid behind a Bone Wall just conjured few seconds ago. To ensure my victory, i summoned a few creatures to help the deadly scorpions finish their work. And i watched in satisfaction as the General dropped to the ground, incapacitated by the deadly poison seeping through his veins.
ROUND 4
Despite my previous victory, the battle was not over yet. I must win two more times. And seeing that what he had at that time was only Four photons, i figured it wouldn't be too hard. Even though he burned my Parasite with a Holy Light, i had expected that, so i brought a backup Parasite. My hand was getting full, so i summoned a few Deathstalkers to free my hand, even though they were helpless without the Nightfall ward. But at that point, the General took out two summon scrolls and read the incantations written on them. Two Photons blew up, and at that point i realized a thing: that he was going to summon two formidable Golems.
Two Golems appeared, along with a Lycanthrope. They were about to charge to me when i conjured an emergency Bone Wall barrier, blocking their attacks. With my Parasite, i tried to kill the creatures, but with only one of it, it was too slow. I summoned another Parasite, trying to destroy the opposing army while i hid in safety. The Golems tore down the wall rather easily, forcing me to use a second barrier. But a careless mistake on my part revealed a weak point on the wall. The Lycanthrope hit it with its claw, shattering the entire barrier and slashed me.
I took a step backwards as i noticed a red liquid dripping down from my chest. Blood. I couldn't last longer, but what could i do against three enraged creatures? And furthermore, the Fire General blowed up his last Photon, and at that point i realized i was doomed.
Two Golems pounded the ground, sending shockwaves towards me. I evaded those as i jumped to the air, only to be greeted by the Lycanthrope. It slashed my chest, leaving bloodstain on its claws. The third Golem, noticeably enraged, quickly hit me as i was about to land, sending me away from the battlefield as i began to lose consciousness.
HOMERUN!
