Chapter 1455 Pure [Silent] Deck

"One of the effects of [Silent Voice] is that it allows me to return a Warrior-Type or Dragon-Type Light Ritual Monster or a Ritual Spell Card from my hand or graveyard to my deck, then select a [Silent Voice] monster from my deck and add it to my hand or Special Summon it directly."

After a pause, Asuka spread her hands helplessly, "However, I don't have either of them in my hand at the moment, so I can't use this effect for the time being."

"But judging from your appearance, you may have cards in your hand that can retrieve Ritual Magic Cards or Ritual Monster Cards?" Transonic Bird said, "I won't let you do that!"

"At this moment, I will activate my own effect on the field!"

[Transonic Bird] flapped its wings and declared: "Once during your opponent's turn, you can send a Ritual Magic Card from my Deck to the Graveyard to activate this effect! My effect becomes the same as the Ritual Summoning effect when that Ritual Magic Card is activated!"

"High-energy resonance insect acid-extracted styling spray!"

The circular computing device behind the Transonic Bird rose up, and a puff of smoke blew out from the center, forming a phantom in the haze. "The card I sent to the cemetery is this [Soul Descendant]"

Asuka was surprised and said, "Actually, it was a ritual summon during the opponent's turn?!"

"Hehe, have you ever seen Lord Hayato up close? The power he has bestowed upon me is beyond your imagination." Transonic Bird said proudly, "I will release the Level 8☆ Soul Bird God - Hime Peacock in my hand as a sacrifice for the Ritual Summoning, bringing the total level to 8☆! This is, more advanced than the Ritual Summoning - the Acceleration Ritual!"

"The gathered air currents will turn into an incoming storm. Do you hear it? Do you hear it! The cry of love from the sky! The sonata of the soul, the Avatar-in-the-World!"

"Ritual Summon, Level 8☆!"

"Sing praises to the [Soul Bird God - Peacock]!"

After a while of searching, it was found that there were two [Soul Bird God - Ji Kongque] and one [Soul Bird God - Yan Kongque] in the hand of [Transonic Bird]. At this moment, it used one of the [Soul Bird God - Ji Kongque] as a sacrifice to meet the level required for the ritual summoning, and used the so-called "accelerated ritual" to summon the second [Soul Bird God - Ji Kongque]!
A summoning array unfolded in front of Transonic Bird, and from it emerged a young girl dressed in clothing with peacock tail feather patterns. She was dressed like a princess, and her ethereal temperament made her look like a goddess from heaven.

[Soul Bird God-Ji Kongque] [8☆/Wind]

[Birds/Ritual/Soul/Effect]

[2500/3000]

"Due to the effect of [Soul's Base], the attack and defense of all Soul Monsters on my field increase by 500 points. [Soul Bird God-Peacock] is not only a Ritual Monster but also a Soul Monster. It can get the bonus of [Soul's Base], and its attack and defense increase!"

As [Transonic Bird] flapped its wings, the attack and defense power of [Soul Bird God - Peacock] on the field increased simultaneously.

[Soul Bird God - Peacock] [2500/3000→3000/3500]

"It's both a ritual and a soul monster?" Asuka looked at the [Soul Bird God - Hime Kongque] with some surprise, "Is that why it's called 'Soul Bird God'?"

"Hehe, this is the card that Mr. Hayato gave me that best suits my power. It is said that in the distant past, this card even participated in Mr. Hayato's battle!" [Transonic Bird] said proudly, "And the part of this card that best suits my power is that - when the [Spirit Bird God-Hime Peacock] ritual summoning is successful, its effect can be activated!"

"Select up to three Magic/Trap Cards on your opponent's field and return them to their owner's deck. After that, you can Special Summon a Level 4☆ or lower Spirit Monster from your deck to your field, ignoring the summoning conditions!"

"What?!" Asuka was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect there was such a trick. "The effect of the successful ritual summoning that should only be activated during your turn, combined with the second-speed 'acceleration ritual', can actually be used to interfere with the opponent!"

"That is to say, my backcourt."

"Yes, although there is only one card and it can't fully exert its power, it's enough. At least it prevents you from using the effect of that trap card and wasting the power of [Silent Prayer - Reason] on the field." [Transonic Bird] opened its beak, as if sneering, "Then first bounce your card back to the deck - Breathing Storm!"

[Spirit Bird God - Princess Peacock] waved the feather fan in her hand, rolling up a strong airflow comparable to a [Hurricane]. Although it seemed a bit of a waste of talent to use it on the only [Majesty of Silent Voice], it also successfully interrupted Asuka's development.

And the next moment when [The Majesty of Silence] was blown back into Asuka's deck by the strong wind, [Soul Bird God - Princess Peacock] flicked her long sleeves, and pure white and black and purple feathers fell. Wearing a shrine maiden's muscle robe and sexy black stockings, a "shrine maiden" landed on [Transonic Bird]'s field, with a pair of crane wings on her back and a bow in her hand. The tail feathers of the arrows that matched the bow were quite beautiful peacock feathers.

However, what is even more eye-catching is her head. Although the body is clearly that of a human female, the hands are covered with black feathers, and the head directly reveals its true form - the crane in the famous story "The Crane Returns a Gratitude".

[Soul Bird-Witch Crane] [4☆/Wind]

[Birds/Soul/Effect]

【1500/1500→2000/2000】

"Soul Pull! Under the effect of [Soul Bird God-Peacock], I Special Summoned this [Soul Bird-Magic Crane] from my deck. Although Soul Monsters generally have the restriction that they cannot be Special Summoned, the power of [Soul Bird God-Peacock] can break this restriction by ignoring the summoning conditions. Furthermore, [Soul Bird-Magic Crane] will not be returned to my hand at the end phase of the turn it is Summoned or Flip Summoned due to the common characteristics of Soul Monsters."

Transonic Bird said, raising his head proudly: "The [Soul Bird God - Ji Kongque] with a defense of 3500 points, the [Soul Bird - Wuhe] with a defense of 2000 points, and finally me with a defense of 2400 points. You are just a human kid, can you break through this unbreakable lineup?"

"Heh, I think you look down on me? If you don't try, how do you know if your joint defense is really unbreakable in front of me?" Asuka was not angry. She looked at the five remaining cards in her hand, took out one and said, "Just as you guessed, I do have a card for retrieval in my hand - and you are not unfamiliar with it."

"Activate [Preparation for the Ritual]! Select a Ritual Magic Card from my deck - this [Silent Prayer], and then select the Ritual Monster whose card name is written on [Silent Prayer] - [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law], and add both cards to my hand!"

The same magic card appeared again in this duel, but this time it did not appear on the field of [Transonic Bird], but in the hand of Asuka who also used the ritual deck. Who would not bring a card that can unconditionally exchange two for precise search? Asuka added the card to her hand and immediately played it, saying: "You have performed two ritual summons, so it's my turn next. I will activate the ritual magic card [Silent Prayer] until the total level becomes higher than the level of the ritual summoned monster, release a light attribute monster from my hand and field, and ritually summon this level 7☆ [Silent Guardian - Legal Guardian] from my hand!"

Seeing the card Asuka played, Transonic Bird tilted his head: "The Silent Prayer - Reason on your field is only a Level 1☆ monster. This means that in order to Ritual Summon, you must release Light monsters with a total level of at least 6☆ from your hand as a Tribute."

But Asuka shook her head: "No, just the [Silent Prayer - Justice] on my field is enough, because she has the ability to release the values ​​required for ritual summoning Warrior-Dragon Light attribute monsters when they are ritually summoned together, and [Silent Guardian - Guardian of Law] is a Warrior-type monster of light attribute!"

"The power that resonates with each other, awakens the echo of the true voice in the heart, radiates the power of rectification, now become one! Witness - this sacred dedication!" Asuka shouted, stretching her hand forward, "Come On! The one who fights for protection is called judgment, the one who fights for rectification!"

"Ritual Summon, Level 7☆!"

"Execute the judgment! [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law]!"

[Guardian of Silent Voice-Guardian of Law] [7☆/Light]

[Warrior/Ritual/Effect]

[2050/2500]

Immediately following the ritual summoning of Transonic Bird, Asuka also performed her ritual summoning. On the other side of the flock of birds, the guardian holding a sword descended with clouds and falling feathers.

"Attack and defense are both 2050 points?" The first thing Transonic Bird confirmed was the attack power of Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law. "This level of weak power is no match for me!"

"That's not necessarily true. [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] is a warrior who uses the power of protection. When protecting important beings, it can exert extremely powerful power. As long as there is [Silent Prayer - Law] on my field or in my graveyard, the attack power of [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] will directly increase by 2050 points, which means that the attack power will double!"

[Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] [ATK2050→4100]

In just a moment, because Asuka had ritually summoned [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] and sent [Silent Prayer - Law] to the graveyard, [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] instantly increased to twice its original value, becoming an existence with an attack power of 4100 points, which is slightly stronger than the legendary [Obelisk's Giant God Soldier].

"However, the power of [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] is not limited to this. It is not only your [Spirit Bird God] that can activate its effect when the ritual summon is successful. When I successfully ritual summon [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law], I can also activate its effect. From my deck, add a [Silent Voice] monster or a Warrior-Type/Dragon-Type Ritual Monster to my hand."

"I chose [Silent Dragon Hyun Ji - Saphira]."

Saphira, the Silent Dragon Princess, who had protected Asuka from the Harpies' pursuit before, was retrieved by her with the effect of Guardian of Silent Voice - Legal Guardian. This card has the ability to complete the Ritual Magic Cards and Ritual Monsters required for Ritual Summoning with a single card, allowing Asuka to further enrich the existing lineup.

However, Asuka followed up with another sentence: "It's not over yet! Chain Special Summon [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law], [Silent Prayer - Law] is in my Graveyard, and if I have a Dragon-Type or Warrior-Type Light Ritual Monster Special Summoned successfully on my field, I can activate its third effect - Special Summon it back to my field!"

"It was only after [Silent Prayer - Justice] appeared on my field that [Silent Guardian - Guardian of Law] became complete and unlocked the use of the third effect!"

Asuka did not tell Transonic that the third effect of Guardian of Silence - Guardian of Law was the powerful three-color Kang, but Transonic's keen intuition had already allowed it to get enough information from Asuka's confident expression and make a judgment immediately.

"What an amazing development! I seem to have underestimated you, human? But no! The dead belong only to the cemetery. You cannot bring a monster that has entered the cemetery back to the field so easily without permission!"

Transonic Bird flapped its wings and opened the face-up card in the backfield: "Continuous Trap Card [Bone Resurrection]! This card can only be activated when the opponent Special Summoned a monster and targets a monster in the opponent's Graveyard. The one I chose is naturally the only [Silent Prayer - Reason] in your Graveyard!"

"What?!" Asuka looked at the opened cover card in the opponent's backcourt in surprise.

Just when Asuka's [Silent Prayer - Li] was about to be Special Summoned, a bone dog suddenly jumped out of [Bone Resurrection] that [Transonic Bird] opened, broke into Asuka's grave without permission, and took away her [Silent Prayer - Li]! ?

After the Bone Dog placed the stolen card on Transonic Bird's Duel Board, Transonic Bird said proudly: "Under the effect of Bone Resurrection, [Silent Prayer - Li] is Special Summoned to my field in Defense Position! At the same time, because you have lost [Silent Prayer - Li] in your Graveyard, the second effect of [Silent Guardian - Legal Guardian] will also be invalid, and its attack power will return to its original value!"

[Silent Prayer-Reason] [DEF2050]

[Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] [ATK4100→2050]

Even Asuka could not have imagined that her powerful [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] would be destroyed at its weakest point by the opponent in this way - the [Silent Prayer - Reason] in her own graveyard.

Not only was [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] unable to use its second and third effects, becoming a "blank slate" almost identical to the original [Guardian of Law], but even [Silent Prayer - Law] was taken away and ran to the opponent's field.

"In this situation, [Su Sheng] seems to be deliberately targeted and is stuck in a stalemate."

From the deck, Asuka drew [Silent Dragon Princess - Saphira], looked at the four monsters in defense position neatly arranged on the opponent's field, and drew a card -

"In that case, we might as well squeeze out the value of [Guardian of Silence - Guardian of Law]!" Asuka declared, showing the feminine card in her hand, "Liberate the Warrior-Type monster on my field - [Guardian of Silence - Guardian of Law], and Special Summon [Electronic Ballet Practice Skirt] from my hand!"

A "pure [Silent]" deck? It's an [Electronic] [Silent] deck!

Today is October 2024, 10, and it is also the 22nd anniversary of the famous scene of "Death in the City" (Music
