Chapter 407 All Flame Beast Players Should Bow Down to the Lynx

Faced with the fiery phoenix's deafening roar, Li Guanqi simply withdrew his outstretched hand and said calmly, "Anger won't solve anything. Your turn isn't over yet."

"You don't need to tell me!" the Fiery Phoenix shouted in a deep voice, pointing at the [Blazing Reincarnation Flame Beast Imp] on the field. "I will set a link mark on the [Blazing Reincarnation Flame Beast Imp] on the field!"

The [Blazing Flame Reincarnation Flame Beast Imp] transformed into an orange-red connecting chain of light, coiling around and rising into the air.

"Connect Summon!"

"link1 - [Reincarnated Flame Beast, Fire Lynx]!"

A small lynx with a fiery tail popped out of thin air.

Li Guanqi didn't even lift his eyelids, and gently raised his fingertip: "With [Dreamy Shadow Griffin] on the field, monsters Special Summoned from the field that are not in a Link state cannot activate their effects."

As soon as the words fell, the wings of the [Dreamy Shadow Griffin] flapped violently, and a purple storm enveloped the entire area. The flames of the [Beacon Lynx], which had been eager to fight, suddenly dimmed, as if held down by an invisible hand, and it let out a soft mournful cry.

"So that's the plan." The Fiery Phoenix clenched its fists. "Use the [Griffin] from the extra zone as fusion material to create [Wrath], then revive the [Griffin] and keep it in the main monster zone, without even giving it a link arrow."

"I underestimated you, human."

It gritted its teeth and quickly flipped over its hand. "Activate the effect of the card [Reincarnated Flame Beast Antelope], Special Summon this card!"

Orange-yellow light patterns lit up the ground, and the figure of the [Reincarnated Flame Beast Antelope] was about to leap out of the light.

“Chain 2.” Li Guanqi raised his hand to interrupt, his tone flat. “Activate the effect of [Destroyer of Machines], target the opponent’s [Blazing Lynx], and use that monster and this card as Link Material.”

The blue beast [Luojisha] roared and pounced on [Fenghuo Lynx], opening its huge mouth to devour it.

"Connect Summon!"

Both transformed into a thick, dark, connecting mist.

"Show up!"

"link2, [S:P Xiaoye]!"

A lithe female ninja figure burst out from the black mist, wielding a short blade and with sharp eyes.

Immediately afterward, the [Reincarnated Flame Beast Antelope] let out a cry and landed, but under the suppression of the purple storm, the light patterns on its entire body dimmed.

The Fiery Phoenix clenched its fists. Originally, the [Antelope] could have activated its effect by jumping onto the [Lynx]'s connection point, but the [Lynx] had been eaten by [Luo Jisha] in the previous chain.

"【Xiaoye】is at the 【Griffin】 connection point." Li Guanqi resolutely raised his hand. "The effect can be activated."

"let's go!"

In an instant, a pale blue halo appeared beneath [S:P Saya]'s feet, and she flashed to [Antelope]'s side, her short blade slicing through the air.

"Snap!" The short blade pierced the antelope's neck.

The antelope raised its head and let out a mournful cry.

“Except for the opponent’s [Antelope].” Li Guanqi said coldly, and the [Antelope] exploded into specks of light in response.

Flames erupted from the Fiery Phoenix armor, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked: "You think this will stop me!"

He slammed down a card, the sparks from the gaps in his armor glowing brighter: "Activate the Perpetual Magic, [Will of the Reincarnated Flame Beast]!"

A burst of flames suddenly rose up on the battlefield.

Li Guanqi ignored [Willpower] and looked at the opponent's hand. There was a [Reincarnated Flame Beast Weasel] card that was revealed, and a [Dark Card].

He pondered for a while, then ultimately withdrew his hand and remained still.

The Fiery Phoenix stared at its hand, then flipped over and discarded the face-down card: "Discard the card [Reincarnated Flame Beast Armadillo Lizard]. Target the opponent's [Day of Tears], and that monster's attack power increases by 500!"

“An armadillo lizard?” Li Guanqi’s expression changed slightly.

The attack bonus for the Armadillo Lizard is secondary; its resurrection effect in the graveyard is the key.

"Activate the effect of [Will of the Reincarnated Flame Beast]." The Fiery Phoenix pointed to the Graveyard, "Special Summon a [Reincarnated Flame Beast] from my hand and Graveyard!"

"Come on! [Blazing Reincarnation Flame Beast Imp]!"

Orange-red sparks gathered, and the little demon hopped back onto the field.

"I have [Reincarnated Flame Beast] on my field, activate the effect of [Armadillo Lizard] in my Graveyard." The Fiery Phoenix's voice rose, "Special Summon this card!"

A burst of earthy yellow light patterns erupted, and an Armadillo Lizard, clad in fiery armor, emerged from the ground with a fierce look in its eyes.

Li Guanqi remained calm, his gaze fixed on his opponent's last card, the Weasel.

The Fiery Phoenix suddenly laughed, the flames seeping from the gaps in its armor filled with hatred: "[Little Demon] Single Target Set Link Mark!"

"Connect Summon!"

"Link 1, [Reincarnated Flame Beast Beacon Lynx]!"

Another lynx with fire burst from the void and landed on the field.

"If there are 2 or more [Reincarnated Flame Beasts] in my graveyard, activate the effect of the [Reincarnated Flame Beast Weasel] card in my hand." The Fiery Phoenix flipped over its last card, "Special Summon this card!"

The figure of the [Weasel] flickered, about to leap out of the flames. Li Guanqi's pupils contracted, knowing he couldn't wait any longer. If the opponent gathered all the materials to craft the [Reincarnated Flame Beast Steed] and advanced to the battle rank, [Xiao Ye] would be doomed.

"Chain activation of [S:P Saya]'s effect!" He immediately raised his hand, "Target the opponent's [Armadillo Lizard] and this card, banish them together!"

[S:P Xiaoye] A flash of blue light appeared beneath her feet, and she rushed towards [Armadillo Lizard] like an arrow. Her short blade entangled the opponent, and together they turned into specks of light and dissipated in the purple storm.

Immediately afterwards, the [Reincarnated Flame Beast Weasel] leaped out of the fire.

However, there is only one Link 1 [Lynx] and one Level 3 [Weasel] on the field. [Little Fairy] has activated its effect and entered Flame Self-Control, so it can only be a [Sunlight Wolf].

"We haven't lost yet."

The Fiery Phoenix gritted its teeth, suddenly raised its hand and pointed at [Weasel], flames crackling from the gaps in its armor, while still keeping a close eye on Li Guanqi: "Damn it, watch closely! I'm setting a connection marker for [Weasel]!"

"Connect Summon!"

Orange-red chains of light coiled around the Weasel, which shot into the air like a living fire serpent, condensing into a dazzling beam of light that shot straight into the sky.

"Show yourself! Link 1, [Reincarnated Flame Beast Beacon Lynx]!"

The third lynx, blazing with fire, sprang out from the beam of light. As it landed, its front paws scratched two sparks off the ground, and it bared its teeth at Li Guanqi, forming a pincer attack with another lynx on the field.

Li Guanqi frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over the two [Beacon Lynx], and said calmly, "It's clear you really like [Lynx]."

"What do you know about [Reincarnated Flame Beast]! Our bond is none of your business!" The Fiery Phoenix was furious, and its voice suddenly rose.

He was clearly still bothered by Li Guanqi's words, "What do you know? I am also a reincarnated fire beast."

"Activate the effect of [Blazing Lynx] to add 1 'Sanctuary of Reincarnated Flame Beast' from your Deck to your hand."

"Chain activation of the Graveyard [Weasel] effect!"

"Target the [Little Demon] in your Graveyard, return this card to your Deck, Special Summon that monster to your field! Then, I draw a card!"

The light of the [Weasel] in the graveyard flashed by, and the [Blazing Reincarnation Flame Beast Imp] suddenly jumped onto Li Guan's chess field, hopping around and rubbing his monster with its little fire tip, full of provocation.

Li Guanqi frowned and looked at the right hand of the Fiery Phoenix.

Since that's what they say, let's see how much they know about the [Reincarnated Flame Beast].

"This is our bond—card drawing!" The Fiery Phoenix shouted in a deep voice, and suddenly pulled a card from the deck. As soon as her fingertips touched the edge of the card, flames around her surged three feet, and even her armor was reflected in a bright red light.

It gently flipped open the card, then laughed even more wildly: "My partner hasn't given up yet!"

Li Guanqi's expression tightened slightly, and his palms unconsciously clenched. The certainty in his smile made him a little nervous.

"Now, it's time to show you the true power of the Flame Beast!" The Fiery Phoenix suddenly spread its arms, and two chains of fire bound the two [Fire Lynx], weaving them into a scorching cross in the air. "I'll set a connection mark between the two [Fire Lynx]! Circuit Union!"

"Let the flames burn everything."

"Connect Summon!"

"Show yourself! Link 2, [Reincarnated Flame Beast Sun Wolf]!"

"Boom—" A fiery tornado suddenly swept across the field, and a wolf-shaped monster covered in silver armor leaped out of the storm.

Li Guanqi's gaze fell on the Sun Wolf, and he said calmly, "Next time, why don't you just send out the Sun Wolf and let the Lynx go?"

Upon hearing Li Guanqi's words, the Fiery Phoenix smiled smugly: "Let me show you!"

It slowly flipped over the card it had just drawn: "If you have 3 or more 'Reincarnation Flame Beast' monsters in your Graveyard, you can activate this effect; Special Summon this card from your hand in Defense Position!"

"Come forth! [Reincarnated Flame Beast Sunbathing Wild Bull]!"

As soon as the card was played, a fiery crack suddenly appeared in the ground, and a bison covered in lava-like flames charged out of the crack.

Li Guanqi frowned, looking like a puzzled old man on the subway, and muttered softly, "You need three of your own monsters in the graveyard to Special Summon this card, and you're even including it?"

He paused, his eyes narrowing, and began to review the situation in his mind: "Are there three cemeteries?"

Without Kacha's assistance, he could only rely on his memory to sort things out.

[Antelope] and [Armadillo Lizard] were banished by [Little Night], [Weasel] returned to the deck, [Little Fairy] is on your field, [Sunlight Wolf] is still on the opponent's field, and the opponent has it in their graveyard.
Li Guanqi suddenly realized what was happening, his eyes widened, and he felt a chill.

"Holy crap, there are only three lynxes in the graveyard?!"

[Lynx] Does it agree with you doing this?

Players of the [Flame Beast] class, please give [Lynx] a shout-out!

He took a deep breath, and his gaze toward the Fiery Phoenix held a hint of genuine respect. He even raised his hand in a slight bow: "I must admit, it is Your Excellency who understands [Reincarnated Flame Beast] better."

This time, the wave deliberately connected with the lynx once more, and actually managed to get the sun-baked bison to jump on.

"Hmph." The Fiery Phoenix snorted arrogantly, its chin slightly raised, the flames on its armor exuding a hint of smugness.

"Then I'll have to show her the respect I deserve." Li Guanqi waved his hand sharply, pointing to the [Evil★Troublesome Sunny] on the field, "Release [Troublesome Sunny], activate her effect!"

【Sun-Drenched Bison】can negate the effects of group monsters without targeting them, and the effect of 【Sunny】 must be activated now.

"Special Summon up to 1 'Giskill' monster and 1 'Rila' monster from your Graveyard."

"Come back! [Evil Twins Kissgeller], [Evil Twins Lira]!"

Two beams of light simultaneously illuminated the arena. In the red light, [Evil★Twin Gisgil] held a microphone with a pink bow. In the blue light, [Evil★Twin Lila] wore a blue skirt and adjusted her glasses. However, between them stood [Dreamlike Shadow·Griffin] and [Little Demon].

Li Guanqi pointed to [Evil Twins Kissgill]: "Activate [Kissgill]'s effect, draw one card." The card popped out of the deck, and he quickly pinched it into his hand.

"Next, activate the effect of [Evil Twin Lila] and destroy [Sunburnt Bison]!"

【Evil★Twin Lila】quickly drew her gun and fired a demon bullet at 【Sunburnt Bison】.

"A waste of effort," the Fiery Phoenix said coldly.

"If a [Reincarnation Flame Beast] card on the field is destroyed, instead banish [Lynx] from the Graveyard."

The lynx charged out of the graveyard, stood in front of the sun-baked bison, and took the bullets with its body.

"Fight back!" The Fiery Phoenix pointed to the battlefield, the flames on its armor blazing once more: "Activate the [Reincarnated Flame Beast Sunbathing Wild Bull] effect!"

"Target the two [Fire Lynx] in the Graveyard, and return those monsters to the Deck."

[Sun-Drenched Bison] The flames around him split in two, transforming into two small fire bulls that charged forward. "After that, negate the opponent's two face-up cards on the field!"

"Burn them!"

The Fiery Phoenix points to the [Dreamlike Shadow Griffin] and the [Day of the Demon's Tears].

The two little fire bulls suddenly turned around, one charging towards the [Griffin] and the other towards the [Day of Tears].

"Boom!" Two explosions occurred one after the other on [Griffin] and [Tears].

The purple storm dissipated, and the red aura on [Tears] faded as well; both were simultaneously marked as "invalid".

The Griffin's blockade is lifted, the attack reduction effect of Tearful is gone, the Sun Wolf's attack power returns to 1800, and the Sunburnt Bison's attack power returns to 2800.

"Battle begins!" The Fiery Phoenix waved its hand, its voice filled with fury and pressure. "[Sunlight Wolf], attack [Blazing Reincarnation Flame Beast Imp]!"

[Sunlight Wolf] leaped into the air, its claws wreathed in flames, and slammed down on [Little Demon].

The tiny, flame-like demon was powerless to resist and was engulfed by the flames, turning into specks of light and disappearing.

The residual force of the flames rushed towards Li Guanqi, who felt a slight tightness in his chest, and a stream of data about burns flashed across his arm.

The effect of 【Carving Demon's Lament】 applies, halving combat damage.

Li Guanqi's base score: 8000 → 7500
He raised his hand to wipe away the sparks from his arm, his eyes remaining calm.

In this battlefield, every time the firewall is damaged, it will be impacted as well.

It is very possible that the outcome of a cyber war will be decided before either side's capacity reaches zero.

The Fiery Phoenix breathed a sigh of relief: "End of battle phase, proceeding to main phase two."

He suddenly spread his arms, and two chains of fire wrapped around [Sunlight Wolf] and [Sun-baked Bison] respectively: "I will set connection markers for [Sunlight Wolf] and [Sun-baked Bison]!"

"Gather the power of fire to forge the ultimate edge!"

"Connect Summon!"

"Descend, Link 3, [Princess of Blaze]!"

The moment the light chains exploded, the figure of a red-haired woman slowly floated out of the flames, emanating a fiery pressure stronger than any of the previous fire beasts.

The Fiery Phoenix raised its arm, the metal joints of its armor creaking with a frenzied sound.

"Activate the effect of [Blessed Flame Princess]!"

"Special Summon a FIRE monster from my graveyard. Come back, [Fire Reincarnation FIRE Imp]!"

【Tokihime】Her indifferent eyes swept across the cemetery area. She made no extra movements, only casting a burning gaze upon it.

The ground melted open, creating a hole. Lava churned, and the figure of the [Little Demon] leaped out of the scalding lava, playfully flicking the flames on its tail as it landed.

Li Guanqi's eyes narrowed.

The field value has reached four.

"Witness it, this is the true essence of fire!" The fiery phoenix's voice suddenly rose, and the flames spewing from the gaps in his armor surged, engulfing his entire body. "True rebirth is achieved through repeated sacrifices and nirvana!"

It suddenly spread its arms wide, embracing the entire battlefield.

"I'm setting a link marker between the Link 3 [Blessed Princess of Blaze] and [Blazing Reincarnation Flame Beast] on the field!"

【Tokihime】 and 【Koyo】 transformed into streams of light and flew into the sky.

"The gathered flames will transform into the will of the gods, awakening from the ashes of reincarnation!"

"Connect Summon!"

The voice of the fiery phoenix pierced through the roar, carrying a judgmental majesty.

"Show yourself! My soul!"

"Link 4 - [Reincarnated Flame Beast Phoenix]!"

boom--!
A vortex of flames suddenly exploded, and a warrior covered in crimson heavy armor descended.

A devastating heatwave swept over them, causing slight disruptions to the data models of several pawns on Li Guanqi's chessboard.

"See that? This is the [Reincarnated Flame Beast]!" The Fiery Phoenix looked at its trump card, its excitement practically overflowing.

Li Guanqi stared expressionlessly at the opponent's side of the field: "Is this the end for you after sacrificing three Lynxes?"

"Hmph, foolish humans." A ring of fire spread out from beneath the Phoenix's feet. It suddenly raised its hand, and a shockwave rippled across the battlefield. "Activate the effect of [Fire Phoenix]!"

Special Summon the monster that is in the opponent's Graveyard, targeting "Trouble Sunny"!

[Fire Phoenix] slammed a palm into the ground, and the cracks spread to Li Guanqi's playing field.

【Trouble Sunny】struggled out of the fiery crack.

"Take good care of this monster I gave you," the Fire Phoenix said in a deep voice. "Activate another effect of [Fire Phoenix]!"

It suddenly raised its hand and pointed at [Trouble Sunny], who had just been resurrected on Li Guanqi's chess field.

"If your opponent has a Link Monster Special Summoned, you can target that monster to inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's original ATK!"

【Troublesome Sunny】, Link 4, Attack Power 3300.

Li Guanqi's pupils contracted.

Sending monsters away isn't a good deed; it's a recipe for disaster.

"Accept your punishment!" the Fiery Phoenix roared, waving its hand forward, "Phoenix Heavenly Fire!"

As the command was given, the Fire Phoenix raised its head high and let out a long, piercing roar that seemed to split rocks and shatter gold.

boom--!
A crimson pillar of flame exploded out of thin air beneath Li Guanqi's feet. There was no physical impact, but it was a pure, destructive torrent of data that engulfed him entirely.

A burning sensation coursed through his entire body, and Li Guanqi's virtual body flickered violently in the flames. Large amounts of data streams were peeled away and dissipated from his body like shattered fragments.

The firewall issued an alert, and the Elvira defense system experienced a slight tremor.

Li Guanqi's base score: 7500 → 4200
As the Phoenix watched Li Guanqi's health plummet, it let out a triumphant laugh: "See that! This is the power of our bond!"

As the flames subsided, Li Guanqi's figure came into view.

He slowly propped himself up, wiping away the flames from the corner of his clothes, his gaze unusually calm.

"The power of bonds..."

Li Guanqi repeated the words of the Fiery Phoenix in a low voice, then slowly straightened up and looked directly at the Fiery Phoenix.

He suddenly laughed.

The smile was light, yet it was like a sharp knife, carrying a exhilarating fighting spirit.

"You're not going to just stop like this, are you?"

Upon hearing this, the Fiery Phoenix threw its head back and laughed, its anger turning into battle fire as it slammed the card in its hand down: "Activate Field Spell - [Sanctuary of the Reincarnated Flame Beast]!"

A massive fire array spread across the battlefield.

"As long as this card exists in the arena area." The Fiery Phoenix stopped laughing and lowered its voice.

"If you wish to Link Summon a 'Reincarnation Flame Beast' Link Monster, you may Link Summon it using only 1 'Reincarnation Flame Beast' Link Monster of the same name that you control as material."

"I will set a connection marker for the [Fire Phoenix] single unit!"

"Reincarnation—" it roared, and a pillar of flame shot into the sky.

"Connect Summon!"

"Link 4, [Reincarnation of the Flame Beast Phoenix]!"

[Reincarnated Fire Beast Phoenix] Reincarnation summoning successful, the red armor on its body is even brighter, carrying a menacing flame light.

Looking at the reborn [Fire Phoenix], Li Guanqi's lips curled up slightly for some reason, showing a hint of admiration and longing.

The cards with high spiritual value are all very beautiful.

The Fiery Phoenix, bathed in the sea of ​​fire of the [Fire Phoenix], spread its arms, looked directly at Li Guanqi, and said in a deep voice.

"When the [Fire Phoenix] Reincarnation Link Summon is successful."

He spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice filled with suppressed excitement.

"Activate its effect!"

He suddenly raised his hand, his index finger pointing towards Li Guanqi's packed field, savoring the thrill of this final blow.

"Deal with the opponent's cards—"

He dragged out the sound.

"Destroy everything!"

"The phoenix reincarnates, and all things return to ashes."

Vanish, humans!
