Chapter 275 A Clash of Fates (5)

The second round is over.

Forwards: [Day of Wrath], [The Mighty King]

Backstage: [Great Sage's Coffin], [Holy Coffin], [Pity Song]

Hand card: [Endless Endorphins]

Red team basic points: 6800
"The second round has finally ended. Player Li Guanqi used [Sage of the Song] and [Red Tears] to create a solid two-front, three-back position. His operation was extremely smooth." Langley commented, his voice suddenly rising, "But player Lin Chen's [Scapegoat] was also quite unexpected!"

"One card can generate four values, which gives you a lot of room for maneuver in the next round!"

"If we can draw a [Magic Shooter] card next round, the advantage will be enormous!"

"Five spell traps in my starting hand, I should be able to draw someone by the next turn, right?"

Li Guanqi snapped out of his daze, looked at the five monsters opposite him, and frowned slightly. If both sides were fighting each other with [Carving Demon], it would be difficult to determine a winner in a short time. Only [Wrath] provided some resistance. Whoever's [Magic Bullet] provided support first, and [Max]'s effect passed, would basically crush them.

Let's see what the opponent's next draw is like.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Chen took a deep breath and placed his fingertips on the deck: "My turn."

"Draw a card!"

He closed his eyes and pulled out a card.

Please, I need a magic bullet shooter.
Lin Chen muttered to himself, gently flipping open the card with his right hand. The moment he saw the card image, his eyes widened and he stood frozen in place.

"Hmm? What's wrong with Lin Chen?" Langley asked in the commentator's voice, sounding puzzled. "It seems like he drew an unexpected card?"

"Hey—" someone in the blue team's bubble shouted anxiously, "Did you draw a monster?!"

More than two hundred bubbles were constantly causing disturbances.

Li Guanqi also raised his eyebrows in surprise. What card did he draw that made him freeze?

Did you draw a card that wasn't yours?
A card that even an abstract person finds abstract?
It was a very strange expression, neither the joy of drawing a winning card, nor the disappointment of drawing a useless card, nor the contemplation of drawing a complicated card.

There was no joy, no disappointment, and no contemplation.

There was only a slight sense of surprise and an inescapable sense of being lost in thought.

Lin Chen was stunned for a full thirty seconds. The system timeline jumped to the main stage and made a "ding" sound. Only then did he come back to his senses and put the card he had drawn into his left hand.

This is a common 'backup' action, indicating that the card drawn is not one that can be mindlessly discarded like [Lava Demon].

"I'll set link markers for the two [Sheep Derivatives]," Lin Chen announced, raising his hand. "Link Summon, [Berserkers of the Underworld]!"

"Use another [Sheep Token] to link and summon [Link Spider]."

"Use another [Sheep Token] to link and summon [Link Spider]."

The four normal monsters' [Sheep Tokens] quickly become four effect monster Link Values. By converting monster attributes in this way, the range of monsters that can be linked and summoned is greatly increased.

"It's coming." Li Guanqi's pupils constricted. After transforming into an Effect Monster, the subsequent Link Summon would undoubtedly be filled with killing intent.

"I will set connection markers for [The Underworld's Barbarians] and [The Connecting Spider]," Lin Chen said thoughtfully, his gaze turning cold.

"A blade in the shadows, a flower of death in full bloom!"

"Bloom!"

"Boom—" A blinding light erupted from the dueling arena.

"Connect Summon!"

"Descend, Link 3! [The beautiful magnetic rhythm machine is broken!]!"

As the light faded, a female figure slowly appeared. She smiled coldly, raised her mechanical arm, and her spear burst into bloom.

"Bang bang bang—" Three shots fell, and three mechanical flowers were launched forward, two of which accurately hit [Sun of Wrath] and [King of Might].

"This one?!" Li Guanqi's brows furrowed sharply.

Oh no, I wasn't paying attention to my positioning, and the two brothers ended up together.

"Oh my god—" Langley exclaimed in shock, "Lin Chen actually used our new test card."

"This card has a very sinister effect."

Lin Chen said in a deep voice: "[Beautiful Magnet Machine Broken] Attack power increases the original value of the linked monster's attack power."

"Hehe—" [Beautiful Magnet Machine Broken] raised a venomous, sinister laugh, the mechanical flower energy feeding back into her body, emitting a pale purple light.

Attack Damage: 100 → 5900
"Attack power, 5900!" the blue team's audience shouted in surprise.

"Activate the trap card!" Li Guanqi responded with a wave of his hand, "【The Demon's Lament】!"

"During this turn, your Fiend-type Light monsters will not be destroyed by battle, and the battle damage you take will be halved."

A layer of dark red light enveloped the area, forming a barrier around the soul.

"Accelerate the integration?" Lin Chen muttered, glancing at the tomb.

"Activate the effect of the Graveyard card 【The Song of the Carving Demon】, banish this card, and use cards on the field as materials to perform a Fusion Summon."

"I will use the equipment cards [Great Sage's Coffin] and [Holy Coffin] as materials."

"Fusion Summon!"

"Appear, [the day the Demon of Carving Weeps]!"

The red-haired demon wielding the Ghost Cannon has descended once more.

Lin Chen then raised his hand and said, "Activate the effect of [Day of Tears]: Special Summon or add to your hand the monster that is targeted by [Holy Coffin] in the Graveyard."

After saying that, he glanced at Li Guanqi.

Hoping to trick the opponent into using the [Wrath] effect.

A card that cannot be activated will be indicated by a red circle around it. The card 【Day of Wrath】 does not have a red circle and can be activated, but whether it will succeed is another matter.

Li Guanqi remained silent, ignoring him completely.

The effect of "Day of Tears" was approved, and some viewers on the red team's chat bubble were puzzled: "Why not activate the effect of 'Wrath'? It could negate both 'Day of Tears' and 'Beautiful Magnet Machine Broken,' wouldn't that be a better deal?"

What kind of weird effects does the new card have?

"Oh my!" Langley exclaimed with delight, "It seems that Li Guanqi has also learned about the new cards."

"Didn't fool them." Lin Chen muttered to himself, processing the effect: "Special Summon [Divine Coffin of the Carving Demon]."

He paused for a moment at this point in his operation.

He currently has five monsters on the field: [King of Kings], [Day of Tears], [Divine Coffin], [Connecting Spider], and [Beautiful Magnet Machine Broken]. He seems to have a lot of room to maneuver, but there is a fatal problem.

【Beautiful Magnet Machine Broken】 can suppress 【Wrath Effect】, but this card does not have a downward arrow, which means it cannot play 【Nightmare】 or 【Soul Coffin】 under suppression.

All we can do is fight!

"I've set connection markers for [The Beautiful Magnet Speed ​​Machine Is Broken] and [Connection Spider]!"

"Circuit Union."

"Connect and summon! Ride the wind!"

"Link 4, [Access Code Talker]!"

Amidst the raging data storm, a cyber warrior wielding a massive spear descends upon the battlefield.

"Activate the effect of [Access Code Speaker] to increase the attack power of [Beautiful Magnet Code Broken] by 1000 times the number of its connection marks."

"The other party cannot respond to the activation of the [Access Code Talker] effect, so activate the effect."

[Access Code Speaker] emits a low growl, attack power: 2300 → 5300
"Unfortunately, the timing of [Access Code Talker]'s landing is flexible." Li Guanqi waved his hand and said, "Activate the effect of [Cut Demon's Lament] in the graveyard, banish this card, and use the cards on the field as materials for Fusion Summoning."

"I'll use [Sun of Wrath] and the Equip Card [Divine Coffin] as materials." "Fusion Summon!"

"Appear, [the day the Demon of Carving Weeps]!"

"Activate the effect of [Day of Tears]: Special Summon or add to your hand the monster that is in the [Sacred Coffin] in your Graveyard."

"Then there's the Graveyard effect of [Day of Wrath], which returns [Great Coffin] to the Deck and sends that card to the Graveyard by targeting it with [Access Code Talker]!"

[Day of Wrath] The necromancer wielded his battle axe, and [Access Code Speaker] was shattered in a single blow before he could activate his effect, dying with resentment.

"Activate the effect of [Divine Coffin]!" Li Guanqi's voice echoed across the field without the slightest hesitation. "Target [Sun of Wrath] in the Graveyard, Special Summon that monster, and equip this card to that monster as an Equip Card!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the phantom of the [Holy Coffin] transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the cemetery area. Immediately afterward, the ground trembled violently, and a deep red crack tore open. The enormous body of the [Wrathful Sun] roared and crawled out of it once more, surrounded by an ominous red aura, carrying a giant axe on its shoulder, its power undiminished.

"Equip monsters to increase their attack power based on the Equip Card's Link Mark."

[Day of Wrath] Roars with head held high, attack power increases dramatically: 2800 → (affected by the enemy's [Day of Tears] effect) 2200 → 4000!

With its attack power returning to 4000, [Day of Wrath] has once again become a major threat on the field.

Lin Chen's brow twitched, and he quickly raised his hand: "[Day of Tears] Set a connection marker for a single target!"

His red-haired demon on the field transformed into a beam of light, flowing into the vortex of the summoned link.

"Link Summon, Link-1, [The Soul-Suppressing Coffin of the Carving Demon]!"

A small, all-black iron coffin appeared in the original location of the [Day of Tears].

"The effect of sending someone to the grave on the day of tears has been activated!"

Return the [Great Coffin] from the graveyard to the deck and deal 1200 damage to your opponent!

"boom--!"

A condensed, deep red energy beam suddenly shot out from Lin Chen's grave area, piercing through space and striking Li Guanqi with perfect accuracy.

The energy shield in front of Li Guanqi rippled. He groaned and swayed slightly, but still stood straight.

Red side's basic score: 6800 → 5600.

The white line in the sea pierced through the red bubble, and the current speed increased. Tang Xin and the others took a deep breath.

"Release [Soul Coffin] to activate its effect, Special Summon [Engraving Blacksmith] from the Deck." Lin Chen continued his strategy without pausing.

The Soul-Suppressing Coffin disintegrated, transforming into a portal from which emerged a massive demon monster wielding an iron hammer.

"Oh dear, no [Crimson Tear Demon]?" Commentator Langley's voice carried a hint of doubt. "What's Lin Chen planning?"

Li Guanqi's gaze sharpened. It was the right decision not to play [Red Tears]. He currently had [Sun of Wrath] on the field. Once the summoning effect of [Red Tears Demon] was activated, it would definitely be negated by [Sun of Wrath]. In that case, not only would the graveyard effect of [Blacksmith] be wasted, but the possibility of using it to fuse [Sun of Wrath] later would also be eliminated.

This guy... he's still evolving even in such a tense match? It's no longer just a simple formulaic operation.

Li Guanqi's lips twitched, a strange feeling creeping over him.

Did I... accidentally turn this into a guidance bureau?

"Activate the effect of the Graveyard's [Soul-Suppressing Coffin]." After a brief moment of thought, Lin Chen declared loudly, "Equip the [Engraving Blacksmith] on the field with this item to increase its attack power by 600 points."

"Activate the effect of [Cardsmith], target your [Soul Coffin] and your opponent's [Day of Wrath], and send those cards to the Graveyard!"

The Demon Blacksmith roared and threw an iron coffin at the enemy, the Sun of Wrath.

Just when everyone thought Li Guanqi would launch a counterattack with the "Day of Wrath," he simply stood there quietly, doing nothing.

The effect was successfully achieved. [Day of Wrath] and [Soul-Suppressing Coffin] were shattered together, and the [Holy Coffin] equipped by [Day of Wrath] entered the graveyard together.

"The effect worked?!" Langley exclaimed, clearly shocked. "How could this not be a chain reaction? A free [Day of Wrath]?"

"You've already used the grave-sending effect, what a waste!"

"Mynah bird—" Tang Xin screamed, clutching her head, "You didn't accidentally drop it, did you?!"

The red team's fans shouted in unison, "Hey, cheer up!"

"What exactly is this?" Lin Chen certainly didn't believe the other side had made a mistake. Time was ticking away, and he gritted his teeth as he asked.

"Set connection markers for the two entities: [Engraving Blacksmith] and [Magnificent Monarch]!"

The two demonic monsters transformed into two streaks of light, one blue and one red, intertwining as they rushed into the vortex that connected to the summoning.

"Refine everything in the darkness."

"Connect Summon!"

"Link-2, [The Great Coffin of the Demon Carving]!"

A colossal, deep red metal coffin crashed onto Lin Chen's field.

"Activate the effect of [Glorious King] to send it to the graveyard." Without pausing for a moment, he picked a card from the graveyard, "Add [Cut Demon Blacksmith] from the graveyard to my hand."

Upon receiving the card, he immediately displayed it: "Then activate the effect of [Cardsmith], discard this card from your hand, and add [Cardsmith's Paradise] from your deck to your hand."

After completing the search, Lin Chen looked at the [Great Sage Coffin] on the field and was about to declare its effect and fuse it to create [Wrath] to suppress the field.

Just then, Li Guanqi, who had been silent and waiting for the best opportunity, finally made his move.

He waved his arm, pointing to his graveyard area, and said in a steady voice, "Activate the effect of the graveyard card 'Red Tear Demon'. Target the 'Holy Coffin' card in the graveyard and return this card to the deck."

Special Summon the target monster!

A beam of red light shot out from the cemetery, and the figure of the [Holy Coffin] reappeared, its enormous battle spirit enveloping the entire area.

"Activate the effect of [Divine Coffin], target [Day of Wrath] in your Graveyard, Special Summon that monster, and equip this card to that monster as an Equip."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but let out a short "Huh?".

His movements on the field paused, and his gaze turned to Li Guanqi. "Didn't you... use the [Divine Coffin] effect this turn?"

He was very puzzled, his brain racing as he tried to recall his previous actions.

Not only Lin Chen, but the audience and commentators in the sea were also dumbfounded.

“Difficult, could it be that…” Langley’s voice trembled.

Li Guanqi's expression remained unchanged as he calmly stated, "The effect of [Holy Coffin] has no limit of once per turn without the card name being affected."

A simple sentence, yet it resounded like a thunderclap in everyone's ears.

[Day of Wrath] awakens once more from the graveyard, equipped with [Holy Coffin], and roars with deafening force.

Attack power: 2800 → 4600!

"Really?! Not once per round?!" Langley slammed his fist on the table, his words quickening. "Playing this meticulously?!"

"Now the Great Sage's Coffin will be under control!"

"Lin Chen, what should we do?!"

The blue team's audience wailed: "No way, red team buddy, is your [Anger] skill a family heirloom? Why are you holding onto it so tightly?"

"You beast! You squeezed all the way to the [Great Sage's Coffin]!"

Lin Chen gripped his cards tightly; he was really starting to feel the strain. He hadn't expected his opponent to hold onto the [Wrath] effect so firmly.

He only has [Great Coffin] and [Holy Coffin] on the field. [Cardsmith] searches for [Cardsmith's Paradise], a trap card, which he can't use this turn.

As for the new cards drawn this round, they are all trap cards, so they can't be used this round.

Once he activates the [Great Holy Coffin] effect, [Wrath] will definitely follow. Even if his [Holy Coffin] chain summons [The Great Monarch], the equipment will still be nullified, and his attack power will not increase.

What should we do? What should we do?
Lin Chen kept looking through the gravesites on the field, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

[Engraving Blacksmith] Hasn't used the graveyard effect yet?
