Chapter 447 The Will of Labyrinth

"Boom!"

A heavy, muffled thud.

Imset slammed his spear into the ground. His golden armor remained motionless, but the stone pavement beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, and surging yellow sand burst forth from the cracks, turning the surrounding area into a desolate desert.

Three figures, all clad in ancient Egyptian armor, rose from the yellow sand and stood in three different directions.

【Horus's Blessing - Domtef】.

【Habbi, the forerunner of Horus】.

【Horus's Blessing - Kebushenaf】.

Guardians from all directions gathered in the center of the desert, where a magnificent stone coffin slowly rose, spewing forth endless black flames that coalesced in mid-air into a giant bird burning with black flames—the Black Flame God of Horus.

In an instant, yellow sand filled the sky, a massive army pressed in, and a chilling atmosphere enveloped the entire area.

Li Guanqi's eyelids twitched violently: "Hiss—"

The King's Coffin!

He felt incredibly awkward. He had intended to tower dive and secure a kill on Sierra, but instead, the enemy team summoned a whole van full of people.

With the King's Coffin present, Horus's sand soldiers can be continuously resurrected. Not only that, the sand soldiers can also gain the terrifying effect of sending enemies to the graveyard without targeting them during battle.

However, if you clear the King's Coffin first, all the Horus monsters on the field will instantly go berserk, increasing their attack power and abilities.

The first solution is always a dead end. In a normal duel, there would be enough resources and time to unfold, but now it's real-time strategy, there is no concept of turns, and it's a melee of hundreds of thousands of people with all kinds of unknown area-of-effect attacks.

Li Guanqi's mind worked incredibly fast.

In this environment, Horus with four heads is like the god of war.

No, we have to retreat this time.

Li Guanqi made up his mind, slipped away, and ran off.

But as soon as he turned his head, a cold female voice rang out not far ahead, tinged with mockery: "Trying to run away?"

Li Guanqi froze, looking in the direction of the sound.

A slender figure leaned against a broken stone pillar. Beneath a black hood, a pair of eyes stared at him with amusement. Behind her, a long, black sword dragged along, its tip leaving a shallow mark on the sand.

The Black Witch looked at Li Guanqi's magnificent silver-white armor and sneered, "What, is Labyrinth not welcoming guests today?"

"Hehe...hehehe..." Li Guanqi let out a dry laugh, which sounded somewhat neurotic.

Holy crap, there's a Dark Witch here too!

The next second, he suddenly turned 180 degrees and ran away!
"Rabillins does not welcome you!"

"Hmph!" The Black Witch snorted coldly, dragging her long sword, and chased after him with astonishing speed.

"Kill him!" Sera screamed furiously, hiding behind Set and pointing at Li Guanqi's back from afar.

A sharp gust of wind swept in from behind, and before Li Guanqi could even turn around, his mind instinctively moved.

hum-

A pale purple glowing shield appeared around him; this was the resistance granted to him by "Welcome to Labyrinth," making him untargetable and unaffected by effects.

He used all his initial trap cards to protect Ariana, leaving none for himself; this passive resistance was his only remaining advantage.

clang!
The blade collided with the shield, sparking a dazzling ring of sparks, and the immense force caused Li Guanqi to stumble.

blocked!
Just as Li Guanqi thought he had blocked it, the Black Witch's lips curled up slightly, the curve of which was cold and confident.

The small [Snake-Eyed Flame Scale] floating beside her suddenly surged with power! Crimson flames shot into the sky, transforming into a gigantic battle spirit phantom that completely enveloped the Black Witch.

As the flames subsided, her form merged with her battle spirit, evolving into an even more terrifying being—the [Snake-Eyed Great Flame Demon]!
"Can we really play like this?!" Li Guanqi was about to lose his composure.

Like the King's Coffin, the Great Fire Demon with Serpent Eyes possesses the terrifying ability to clear the field without targeting anything during battle.

"Try this move, Labyrinth." The evolved Dark Witch's voice was deep. She raised her longsword, which was burning with the flames of original sin, and turned to slash down fiercely at Li Guanqi's shield.

"Flame of Original Sin - Slash!"

*Crack!* (Critical hit, red numbers pop up)
The purple shield that Li Guanqi relied on to save his life shattered like an eggshell!

A devastating force slammed into his back.

His lifeline had just slowly recovered to 95%, but in the blink of an eye it plummeted to 25%!

puff--!
Li Guanqi spat out a mouthful of blood (special effect), and was blasted away by the violent force, crashing heavily into the sand in the distance. His consciousness blurred, and his vision began to black out.

He struggled to stand up, using his sword to support himself on the sand, but his body felt like it was falling apart and wouldn't obey him.

"What B damage?"

Just as he was cursing under his breath, a ripple quietly spread out in the air to his left.

finally come!

The 30-second cooldown for drawing cards is finally over!
A glint of survival flashed in Li Guanqi's eyes, and on instinct, he pulled out the card that had appeared out of thin air.

With his last ounce of strength, he slammed the card down onto the ground in front of him.

Trap set!

The card merged into the sand, and an ominous dark red magic circle flashed between him and the Black Witch before disappearing.

"Hmm?" The Black Witch, who was chasing after him with a knife, suddenly stopped in her tracks, her snake-like eyes, covered by a red eyepatch, fixed on the area where the red light had flashed.

trap?

Information about the Silver City deck flashed through her mind.

With the Silver Princess of the Labyrinth Castle on the field, you can usually draw another trap card from your deck when the first card is activated.

If you rashly step on it, you will not only be affected by a trap, but it will also allow the enemy to set up a second defense, and may even create a chain reaction.

This guy is really persistent.

Looking at Li Guanqi, who was leaning on his sword and swaying precariously not far away, seemingly on the verge of death, the Black Witch frowned slightly.

Li Guanqi coughed up a mouthful of data fragments, looked up to meet her gaze, grinned, and revealed an extremely irritating smile.

"Hey beautiful, why did you stop chasing me?"

"Come here, step on me, it won't hurt."

In real-time battles of Magic Cards, trap cards also have the drawback of a delay. They take thirty seconds to activate after being placed, but they can be detonated earlier if an enemy steps on them.

"..." The Dark Witch's eyes twitched, and she tightened her grip on the hilt of her knife.

Of course, she wouldn't fall for that.

But we can't just wait around; we have to get rid of the card before it's activated.

"Wind God, come to my side!" The Black Witch no longer hesitated and calmly issued the command in the team channel.

Upon hearing the term "Wind God," Li Guanqi's smug smile froze: "Wind God... Could it be..."

call--!
A fierce wind swept down from the high sky, scattering the yellow sand that filled the sky.

A figure in cyan slowly descended, dressed in a flowing priest's robe, holding a verdant staff, and surrounded by a visible cyan storm.

【The Wind God of Dazzling Storms】!
"And what about Xuanlan?!" Li Guanqi's face was completely distorted.

How can I describe his current feelings?
It's like a demolition genius who's constantly jumping around in a minefield, suddenly encountering a sapper carrying three hundred bomb disposal kits.

As we all know, the Silver City deck is all red, and its main strategy is a trap deck that covers everything.

And one little-known fact is that the stupid deck 【Xuanlan】 includes three hundred 【Xuanfeng】 cards.

Professional counterpart belongs to yes.

The green-robed wind god pointed a finger from afar, and the tip of his staff shone brightly with green light.

"call--!"

A solid wind blade pierced through the air, precisely striking the location of the trap card that Li Guanqi had just laid.

The sand exploded, and the card, which had not yet been activated, was torn into countless data fragments in the raging wind before its phantom image could even fully appear.

"..."

In the distance, the Black Witch, who was on defense, paused slightly.

She was a little surprised.

From the time she called for the Wind God to the time the Wind God made his move, the time was definitely more than thirty seconds. The son-in-law of Silver City also drew a card to prove this. Logically speaking, the trap card could have been activated on its own, and he could have activated it before the wind blade hit.

He didn't turn it on?

The activation conditions haven't been met yet? In this ever-changing battlefield, why bring a trap card with such demanding activation conditions?
The Black Witch stopped thinking about it. Time was of the essence; every second that passed, the Silver City son-in-law's life would recover by 1%.

"Seth! Do it!"

At her command, she and Imset, one on the left and one on the right, transformed into two streaks of light and rushed straight at Li Guanqi.

Li Guanqi cursed under his breath and turned to run away.

But as soon as he turned around, an ominous red circle suddenly lit up on the ground in front of him, making his heart skip a beat.

Trap cards too?!

Just when they were caught between a rock and a hard place, the Palace Master's urgent and authoritative female voice rang out in the team's voice chat.

"Run forward!"

"Ahead?" Li Guanqi subconsciously looked ahead.

Ahead, only a few teams were engaged in a chaotic battle, with artillery fire raging everywhere, and... not far away, a damn red circle was flashing.

Should I force it?
Li Guanqi gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and sprinted forward as fast as he could, risking stepping into a ditch.

I had only run a dozen meters when my foot precisely landed on the red circle.

Trap triggered!
Behind them came Sera's sharp, triumphant roar: "Don't think you're the only one who knows how to use traps!"

A deep red card phantom slowly rose in front of Li Guanqi, and the storm depicted on the card sent a chill down his spine.

[A time-space trap]!
"Boom—" A spacetime storm suddenly arose around him like countless invisible blades, reducing his movement speed by 10%.

Even more fatally, his life bar began to decline at a visible rate.

55%...52%...49%...46%
"Don't stop, keep pushing forward!" The Palace Master's unquestionable command came through the earpiece again, tinged with anxiety.

She's always like that, never giving anyone a chance to negotiate.

Li Guanqi gritted his teeth, braving the tearing wind, and charged forward with all his might.

He used his second skill to set a trap again, but as soon as the card merged into the ground, the wind god in the sky immediately sent down a wind blade that blew it apart.

"boom--!"

He's stepped on yet another [time-space trap]!
With the combined effect of the two deceleration effects, his speed became as slow as a tortoise, and the rate at which his health decreased increased dramatically from 3% per second to 6% per second!

To make matters worse, a sharp, tearing pain shot through my back with a snap!
An arrow burning with yellow sand pierced through his body; Horus's Blessing - Domteif had delivered a long-range sniper kill!

Li Guanqi stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

The life gauge has plummeted from 35% to 15%!

The next second, it dropped to 9%...

The Black Witch's icy voice, like the pronouncement of death, drifted from behind.

"ended."

A longsword burning with the flames of original sin and Imset's spear shimmering with an emerald green light attacked from behind at the same time, blocking all his escape routes.

Fate level: 3%...

In the blink of an eye, a loud bang was heard.

A massive shadow descended from the sky and crashed down in front of Li Guanqi!

That was the stone demon statue summoned by Arias. It spread its arms and let out a silent roar, actually using its own body to block the fatal combined attack of the Black Witch, Domtef, and Imset!
【Silver City Demon Statue】: 2000/2800, this card gains 400 ATK from each Normal Trap Card in your Graveyard, and your opponent cannot target any other Fiend monsters as attacks.

Two beautiful figures followed closely behind, appearing on either side of Li Guanqi.

They are two maids from Silver City!
Without saying a word, they simultaneously extended their fair palms and placed them on Li Guanqi's back.

Two gentle shields of holy light instantly opened, enveloping him.

【Divine Life Shield】: Discard 1 card from your hand. During the turn this card is activated, all damage dealt by your opponent is reduced to 0.

The plummeting lifeline came to an abrupt halt at 3%, where it was firmly locked!

A noble figure suddenly swung his spear, knocking back the Dark Witch's Imset, and then slammed the spear into the ground, reappearing a previously activated Normal Trap on the field.

When the Wind God of Xuangang saw the Palace Master of Silver City and Gaika, he stopped blowing the wind. Summoning whirlwinds also consumes resources. He had lost a lot of resources because he hadn't managed to kill the son-in-law of Silver City in one go.

The world suddenly became very quiet, and Li Guanqi could only see one person.

She was breathing heavily, and turned to look at Li Guanqi. Under the silvery light, she, who cared a great deal about her appearance, had not yet had time to wipe the blood off her face.

"Phew, are you alright?" "Heh." Li Guanqi smiled weakly, "I'm not dead yet."

The Black Witch was taken aback for a moment, then called over her last teammate in the channel—the Primal Man who had awakened from a thousand-year slumber—and shouted loudly.

"Don't let them go back! They're a trap team!"

"Once they gain a foothold, this entire area will become a minefield!"

Silver City has an extremely high potential in this mode because there is no limit to setting five traps. [Rabillins] can reuse used traps, and [Silver Princess] can accurately set traps from the deck. If there is no consumption or restriction, they will have hundreds of traps around them in less than an hour. Just go and step on them.

Her words immediately attracted the attention of many passersby, and in an instant, dozens of malicious gazes were cast her way.

Whether in duels or real-time warfare like this, trap teams, also known as underworld teams, are particularly annoying, since no one wants to live in constant fear. Several teams that were still fighting each other stopped at this moment and slowly surrounded Li Guanqi and his group. No one dared to be the first to step forward, but the greed and fear in their eyes were undisguised.

For a time, Labilins' squad was besieged on all sides and surrounded by enemies.

"How about we retreat first?" Li Guanqi said in a low voice as his command returned to full speed.

The team's weaknesses have become apparent: they rely too much on the backcourt, and it takes thirty seconds for the Ambush Card to activate automatically. The Mad Clock can reduce this time, but it can only reduce it by one card.

Judging from the current situation, let alone thirty seconds, the moment they land, they will be torn to shreds by the whirlwinds above and below.

【Whirlwind】, that's a god-tier card that everyone has three of, the best-selling card in Biantana's 500-year dueling history.

"Do not."

The Palace Master of Silver City had his back to him, his tone exuding authority.

She turned her face to the side, and the bloodstains on her cheeks did not diminish her nobility; on the contrary, they added a touch of chilling ruthlessness.

“You saved Ariana, so she is family in Labyrinth.”

"My family was beaten. If we don't fight back..."

She paused, then said, word by word, "Where is the face of my Silver City?!"

"What a fine face of the Silver City!" Li Guanqi was stunned for a moment, then forced a relieved smile: "You've already called us family, so what else is there to say? Let's just do it." "But, Your Highness..." The two sisters, Ariana and Arias, held hands tightly, looking worriedly at the crowd that was closing in around them, "How are we going to fight?"

The Palace Mistress of Silver City frowned, unable to think of a way to break the deadlock.

Just then, Li Guanqi slowly spoke up: "Have you ever heard of the 'four protect one' strategy?"

"Four to protect one?" The Palace Master of Silver City was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized, "Use all our resources to ensure that only one key card passes?"

“Yes, it’s a desperate gamble.” Li Guanqi’s tone was calm.

Arias instinctively retorted, "What card is worth us risking everything to protect?"

Horus's annoying thing is that if you destroy the Sand Soldiers, the Coffin of the King can resurrect infinitely; if you destroy the Coffin of the King first, the remaining Sand Soldiers on the field will instantly go berserk.

What card can eliminate all the sand soldiers in an instant and also flip the coffin lid off?
Just as Li Guanqi was about to speak, the Black Witch opposite them didn't give them any time to discuss a strategy.

"Do it!"

Imset and her teammates, bracing against the [Millennium] in the front row, charged straight at the Silver City squad!

"There's no time to explain!" The Palace Master of Silver City made a decisive decision. "Just do as he says!"

She looked at the maids around her: "Ariana, Arias, Arias, prepare to draw fire!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the four immediately placed the trap cards in their hands onto the ground one by one.

hum - hum - hum -

The phantom images of the four cards had just appeared.

Upon seeing this, the Black Witch immediately stopped and winked at the Wind God high above.

call--!
The Wind God of Brilliant Mist understood immediately, and with a wave of his staff, solid wind blades descended from the sky!

When the bystanders saw someone taking the lead, they all followed suit.

In an instant, four whirlwinds roared in from all directions, creating a spectacular scene.

The artwork of four trap cards—[Heavenly Dragon Snow Prison], [Dark Deck Destruction Virus], [Forced Escape Device], and [Torrent Tribute]—flickered for a moment before exploding into data fragments amidst a raging storm.

"Holy crap, torrent burial?"

"These Silver City guys are truly monstrous; luckily, we have plenty of wind."

"Build again!" Li Guanqi commanded in a deep voice.

Despite their heartache, Arias and the others covered the trap cards in their hands once again.

However, no sooner had the cover been put down than another round of [whirlwind] sweeping the ground.

This time, some people in the crowd hesitated, because smashing the whirlwind also consumes resources.

"They don't have many traps left!" the Black Witch shouted, trying to bolster morale.

"Continue," Li Guanqi said calmly.

The three Arias sisters looked at the palace master, who nodded emphatically.

This time, the four of them covered all four of their last trap cards at once! Li Guanqi also covered the card he had just drawn at his feet.

Five cards in total!

At this, the passersby all hesitated, looking at each other, none of them wanting to make the first move.

"Hurry up and throw the whirlwind! What are you standing there for!"

"What are you yelling about? Why don't you throw it away! Mine's already used up!"

"This is...this is my last one..."

Passersby are just passersby; they're not as united as one might imagine.

The Black Witch gestured again to the Wind God high above.

The Wind God hesitated for a moment, but still took the lead and unleashed a whirlwind, accurately shattering the "Welcome to the Labyrinth of Labyrinth" sign placed by the Silver City Palace Master.

"This is their last wave of traps!" the Dark Witch immediately raised her voice. "Once we clear this wave, we can just trample any more they build!"

Upon hearing this, several players who were still hesitating in the crowd finally made up their minds and threw out their whirlwinds one after another.

boom! boom! boom! boom!
The last four trap cards shattered instantly.

The entire Silver City squad's backcourt was completely empty.

“Your Highness…” Ariana’s voice trembled slightly as she looked at the Palace Master with unease.

Within a 20-meter radius, there wasn't a single card belonging to me. This feeling was like walking naked in the snow, making me feel cold and helpless from the bottom of my heart.

The palace master did not respond, but simply looked firmly ahead.

"Do not."

Li Guanqi suddenly spoke, breaking the deathly silence.

He turned to look at Arias and said calmly, "It's not over yet, Arias. You have eight seconds to draw another card."

"Let's have a big welcome!"

Even Arias herself was stunned. She herself hadn't bothered to remember the cooldown time for drawing cards, yet he... he actually had time to remember it. And even at this point, he was still so calm?

Sure enough, eight seconds later, ripples appeared in the void to her left.

She took a deep breath, silently recited the card name "Great Welcome," and then drew it with a swift motion. As expected, she drew "Great Welcome."

"Then what do we do?" Arias asked.

Li Guanqi quickly replied: "Use the effect of [Arias] on the board to set it, then activate it again to get a [Crazy Clock]."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood.

The combination with [Silver Princess] is a classic combo: [Arias] activates [Grand Welcome] to get [Clock of Madness], triggers [Silver Princess]'s effect to set one card from the deck, and then throws [Clock of Madness] to activate the card set by [Silver Princess].

This move has a small weakness: when [Silver Princess] sets the card, the effect of [Crazy Clock] hasn't applied yet and might be blown away, so you need to sell other traps first. Arias quickly executes the final tactic, destroying [Arias] in his hand, reducing the Ambush cooldown of [Great Welcome] by 30 seconds, and then setting [Great Welcome] back to face, deliberately pausing for a moment to fish.

In less than three seconds, I actually caught one.

An unsuspecting passerby shouted, "Kill him!" and unleashed the final [Whirlwind] attack.

The Dark Witch frowned. Passersby were really unreliable. Couldn't they see such an obviously reduced CD aperture?

Arias then opened the cover and shouted, "Welcome to Labyrinth!"

【Great Welcome】Activated against the wind, Li Guanqi (Silver Princess) swung her hand and struck the void on the right, selecting a trap card from the bursting gap. Legendary skins do not have the concept of card activation; this is a skill, not a card effect.

The [Crazy Clock] flashed across the field and returned to Arias's hand.

The Black Witch stared at Li Guanqi's card, a sense of unease rising in her heart. She quickly shouted to the Wind God, "Quickly destroy that trap!"

The Wind God frowned, suppressing his heartache, and prepared to unleash one last storm.

However, at this moment.

Two silver mists descended from the void on either side and suddenly grabbed him.

The Silver City Palace Master below gave a cold smile: "Could you please stay out of my way?"

【Rabilins of the Silver City】: This effect can be activated if a monster leaves the field due to the effect of one of your Normal Trap Cards. Destroy 1 card in your opponent's hand or on the field.

She clenched her fist and swung her arm downwards.

The silver mist and water vapor in the sky simultaneously pulled the Wind God and slammed him heavily onto the ground with a loud bang.

While the others hesitated, Arias threw down [Crazy Clock], completing the cooldown reduction for Gekko.

The Black Witch stared at the card Li Guanqi had set up with his skill, her heart racing. Finally, she turned around abruptly, grabbed Sera, and ran like the wind: "Get out of here!"

Seth was still standing there, scratching his head with a simple and honest expression.

"Still trying to run?!" Li Guanqi roared, venting all his anger, and resolutely activated the card!
"Take one of my moves!"

"【Fixed-type Linked Chestnut Cannon】!"

【Linked Chestnut Cannon Fixed Formation】: XXX, XXX, after that, all cards on the opponent's field are banished.

The power of a magic card is related to its spirituality.

The phantom of the magic cannon suddenly unfolded behind Li Guanqi, its muzzle deep and dark, beginning to gather terrifying energy points.

The air around them froze instantly.

Just a second ago, they were shouting that they would rush up and tear the crowd apart. Now, as if they had seen a ghost, their greed was replaced by fear. Without saying a word, they turned and ran!

"Run! Run!"

"【Fixed-type Linked Chestnut Cannon】?"

"What the hell!"

Panic spread like wildfire, and people scattered like birds and beasts, fearing they would be caught up in it.

Ordinary players who weren't involved in the incident looked in the direction of the crowd, their eyes slowly widening: "I... Chao!"

boom--!
Before anyone in the distance could react, the cannon's muzzle flashed with light!

Countless crisscrossing beams of energy burst forth, forming an impenetrable net of fire that swept wildly in all directions!

The shelling range wasn't very large, barely covering an area with a diameter of about two hundred meters, yet it precisely engulfed all the enemies involved in the siege, along with a small group of innocent unlucky souls on the periphery.

In an instant, cries of agony, explosions, and curses echoed throughout the area.

"What the hell happened?!"

As the smoke slowly dissipated, scorched craters were blasted into the ground.

The Wind God, Sera, and those menacing passersby were all lying scattered on the ground, their life bars above their heads all having been cut in half, flashing a dangerous red light.

This shot was incredibly powerful, but it wasn't fatal.

After all, this is a card battle, not a traditional duel.

The Black Witch clutched her chest, slowly pushing herself up from the ground. A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth. She looked up at the unharmed Silver City squad, a battle-ready smile spreading across her face.

"What a pity, the damage wasn't enough."

Fengshen, Sera, and the others struggled to their feet, their eyes filled with relief and lingering fear at having survived the ordeal.

"Hmph—" came Li Guanqi's cold snort.

He (Shirogane Hime) slightly raised his exquisitely beautiful yet arrogant face, his eyes flashing with a morbid pleasure, and said, word by word.

"What about the second shot?!"

Li Guanqi suddenly raised his hand and pointed to his own grave!

The phantom of the trap card [Things Rollback] rose up in response, and a surge of life energy was frantically drawn from Li Guanqi into [Things Rollback], causing his life bar to plummet at an alarming rate!

100%...80%...60%...

In the blink of an eye, it stopped just at the 50% mark.

The smiles on the faces of the Dark Witch, Sera, and the Wind God froze. They watched helplessly as the card depicting [Things Rewind] began to distort and change after absorbing enough energy, ultimately freezing into that chilling image that made their scalps tingle—

[Fixed Type Joint Chestnut Cannon]!
"This is..." The Black Witch Squad ambushed passersby, and the innocent bystanders were all stunned.

“This is us…” Li Guanqi’s voice rang out, carrying a hint of cathartic pleasure.

The Silver City Palace Master's cold and beautiful face remained completely expressionless as she continued, "The will of Labyrinth!"

Ariana, Arias, Ariana, and the Silver City Palace Master, along with Li Guanqi, formed a group of five figures. Together with the silent demon statue, the six "people" simultaneously raised their arms and pointed forward!

[Things Rewind] A dazzling golden halo flashed all around!

Five voices converged into a torrent, resounding across the sky.

"Disappear!"

A deafening roar, like a booming bell, engulfed everyone's hearing.

Destructive white light and artillery fire swept across the entire Flowing Shadow Walkway stronghold.
