My anime-style card deck is fine!

Although Gadalia could have ordered two Pokémon to venture deep into the fog to track and attack Wushanyu, she hesitated and ultimately did not do so.

In fact, two Pokémon were swallowed right in front of her.

If I let Miss Goth and E.J. out of my sight, who knows if they'll ever come back?

In fact, if it were a showdown with all cards in the open...

Given Wushan Yu's current state, Gadalia could easily stack buffs on herself or simply unleash her full potential—Wushan Yu, as her opponent, has been excluded, which means what?

A round without any resistance, without any hindrance from the opponent!

Therefore, this is a card with a huge cost, and that cost will fluctuate depending on the strength of the opponent. It has few benefits but a lot of drawbacks!

but……

If it's an open card.

Because of the dense fog, Gadriya had no idea what Wushan Rain had done behind the fog.

Is it an expansion? Or is it targeting her specifically?

Not sure.

Because of this, Cattleya was hesitant to even let Miss Goth and the steward out of her sight, and in the end she simply gave up.

There aren't many ritual cards for Pokémon, and field cards are even rarer.

Although they were willing to take action, they were actually unable to do much more.

The third round passed by in a simple and unremarkable manner.

Next up, the fourth round!

As the round ended, Mengmengshi finally escaped the fog, and along with the area where she was, returned to Cattleya's side.

“Dream Erosion!?” Gadria was overjoyed.

At the same time, I realized that Wushan Rain's card effect was not the kind that permanently banishes enemies.

And that's true; cards that are permanently banished are extremely rare. They are usually banished as a consequence of card effects.

Most cards that are excluded by the opponent's cards have a limited number of turns.

For example, King Kong's Law Imprisonment is a typical card with a limited number of turns, and Wushanyu learned this from him.

However, the prototype for King Kong's cards comes from the law.

Wushan Rain incorporates concepts such as [getting lost], [being lost], and [being confused] into [fog], ultimately achieving the effect of covering a certain area with fog, thus causing people to get lost in the dueling arena.

This is the principle behind Wushan Rain Cards.

Since they were lost...

Then there will always be a day when we return to reality, or we will be trapped in the thick fog until the duel ends.

In contrast to Cattleya's surprise at the return of Dream Eclipse.

Upon returning to the dueling arena, Wushan Yu immediately began his performance.

"Good luck."

At the start of the draw, Wushan Yu glanced at the card and immediately placed it on the Duel Disk—[Mist Resurrection], which, through its effect, kicked all eight Mist Beasts from the Graveyard back into the Deck.

At the same time, Wushan Yu's health points were restored to exactly 8,000!

Of course, health regeneration is irrelevant.

The key is……

Wushan Rain once again used the effect of the Mist Beast to fill its own field, and then unceremoniously activated its effect: "Destroy all five Mist Beasts on my field again - activate the Ritual Card [Mist Mountain God - Mist]!"

And this time, the target is...

"Again?!"

Just as Gadria was basking in the joy of Dream Eclipse's return, the moment of her return, Foresight was activated. However, because it was not declared, it only received the effects of the few permanent cards on the field, such as Wushan Rain.

Then came Wushan Rain's various maneuvers.

Therefore, Gadriya did not receive any new information, but the billowing smoke and fog were so familiar!

As the thick fog rolled in again, Gadria looked at Miss Goth and Dream Eclipse, who were also on the same path through the fog, and activated Dream Eclipse's effect without hesitation.

—Exchange venues with Miss Goth!

"We have no choice but to take a gamble."

Upon seeing the direction from which the thick fog was coming, Cattleya knew that this time she was simply gambling on pure luck.

Wushan Rain relentlessly continued to target Miss Goth.

Then it failed because of the position swap?

It still anticipated Gadria's thoughts and attacked Mengmengshi instead, but because of Mengmengshi's field exchange, it successfully hit Miss Goth.

I don't know, but such speculation will only go on forever!

As a result, Mengmengshi was left on the field.

The bet was lost!

The thick fog swallowed Miss Gothic. After two rounds of wits and courage, Wushan Yu finally succeeded in breaking Miss Gothic's [Shadow Step] and her eyes lit up.

Without hesitation, I activated the magic card—[Cloud Mist Reincarnation].

All Mist Beasts destroyed and sent to the graveyard in this round will return to the battlefield.

The five unharmed Mist Beasts reappeared.

And this time...

"Nothing can stop me now." Wushan Rain activated its effect again. This time, without the restriction of Shadow Step, the five Mist Beasts were successfully sacrificed, along with the surrounding fog.

As the wind rose and the clouds surged, countless thick fogs gathered in the sky.

Finally, a white mist dragon formed from clouds appeared coiled in the thick fog, without roaring or howling, only with a pair of benevolent dragon eyes.

From their elevated position, they looked down upon the two girls facing off across the thick fog.

"—The God of Mist Mountain!"

Wushan Rain loudly announced the arrival of its own deck's Old Master, but even with the appearance of the Old Master, all the movements and sounds were drowned out by the thick fog.

Gadalia, on the other side, was still completely unaware of this!

"..."

Gadriya looked at Miss Gothic being swallowed up and pouted unhappily.

She is really angry!

This duel was completely different from the previous one with Tieshan Youyou. There was no passionate back-and-forth, no clash of wills and wisdom, only fog.

Dense fog, thick fog, mist...

No matter how it was attacked or what effects it had, the thick fog just kept churning without making a sound or giving any feedback.

What is the opponent doing?

do not know.

It felt like I was performing a silent film all by myself, with no one to act with, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable and irritable!

Having already suppressed her temper, Cattleya's spoiled nature finally erupted after being treated this way: "Since you don't intend to duel properly, then let's not duel at all!"

In a fit of anger, Cattleya did more than just get angry for a moment.

Instead, Cattleya used a tactic that she had previously been reluctant to use, but which was indeed feasible:

“Dream Erosion”.

Cattleya parted her pink lips slightly, a hint of displeasure in her eyes, and issued a command that sent a shiver down Wushan Yu's spine: "—【Misty Arena】!"

Ugh? !

These four words instantly plunged Wu Shanyu's newly joyful heart into despair.

In fact, Wushanyu has a deep understanding of Pokémon decks.

Although its attack power is explosively strong, it has very little resistance to card master rules, except for skills that can hinder movement, such as high-fives.

Other methods include destroying cards, resisting card attacks, or countering card combos...

Very few!

A major reason for this is that the vast majority of cards in a Pokémon deck are spell cards with various skills—which is actually normal, since most of these skill cards are given as gifts when Pokémon evolve.

Only a small portion were made by Amon specifically for a particular Pokémon and combo.

Powerful move cards like Foresight and Earthquake Strike were all created by Amon—the Pokémon's level wasn't high enough to learn and acquire high-level move cards.

Compared to the sheer number of skill cards and follower cards.

Pokémon decks have very few ritual cards and building cards, which is why Wushanyu chose this tactic—because Wushanyu knew that the moment she successfully played the [Misty Haze] card...

As long as her opponent's Cattleya doesn't stop her.

Then the card won't be damaged.

Indeed, Gadriya had already beaten Wushanyu to a pulp, leaving him almost powerless to fight back, barely clinging to life. In the end, Wushanyu even excluded himself, allowing Gadriya to do as she pleased!

But what about the results?

As a result, Zao learned the key card information for Wushan Rain, but Gadria didn't have any good solutions.

The fact that two rounds of attacks failed to clear a wide area undoubtedly confirms the lack of card destruction and resistance in the Cattleya deck... or rather, in the Pokémon deck.

Previous trainers had covered this up with overpowered attacks and effects.

But the test takers are not stupid. Tieshan Youyou had already grasped this point and was able to fully unleash his deck without worrying about the opponent's resistance.

In the end, the floating city was easily constructed.

And now Wushan Rain is doing the same thing, taking advantage of the lack of card destruction in Pokémon decks to act recklessly!
