My anime-style card deck is fine!

"I choose to add [Prosperous Tang Palace - Huaqing Pool] to my hand!" Tang Shuang's operation was very smooth. She used only one card to summon two minions and also searched for a building card.

As a two-star card master, she also has one more chance for a normal summon!

"Normal Summon - [Prosperous Tang Palace - Huaqing Pool]!" Tang Shuang didn't even think twice before placing the building card she had just retrieved onto the Duel Disk.

Suddenly, red walls and green tiles appeared, and towering palace walls rose from the ground.

Pavilions and towers, birdsong and fragrant flowers.

A pool of water, as white as jade, unfolded in the center of the arena, with rising mist making the surroundings resemble a fairyland.

"Then I activated the Huaqing Pool's effects!"

"When there is a [Tang Palace Ladies] minion on our side of the field, the attack power of all minions on both sides of the field will be reduced to 0!"

Tang Shuang's series of actions were exceptionally swift. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, as Amon's pressure on her was simply too great. When she looked up, she discovered that there was an unfamiliar girl standing on Amon's field.

The girl possessed a captivating beauty; her light blonde hair was tied back with a red ribbon, and her blue and white dress was simple yet elegant.

Compared to the wide skirt, her slender waist was particularly eye-catching.

At this moment, the girl covered her arm and frowned slightly.

The effects of Huaqing Pool, along with the moisture seeping into her body, caused her once strong and powerful physique to become weak and powerless under the erosion of the moisture.

Attack power has been reduced!

"Activate the effect of [Auto Memory Doll - Violet]..."

Amon declared the names of the girls on the field, but he didn't care at all about Violet's attack power being reduced - it wasn't the first time anyway.

Although I don't know why, Violet, who only has 1000 attack and defense, always encounters cards that reduce attack.

The [Violet Evergarden] deck is not known for its offensive capabilities!

"Violet...?!"

It's a deck I don't recognize!

Tang Shuang gritted her teeth inwardly. Because she admired Amon so much, Tang Shuang was familiar with all the decks Amon had used, from the early Angry Birds to the Crazy Plants and Hungry Zombies that shone brightly on the battlefield, and the Innocent Giant that caused a terrifying appearance...

Without exception, these cards are all powerful and aggressive decks!

Tang Shuang had anticipated the card decks she might encounter, and she wasn't unprepared even if Amon, in a fit of malice, pulled out a Pokémon deck to bully her, a weak and powerless high school student.

This Huaqing Pool was prepared specifically for Pokémon!

but……

I've never heard of this deck before!

When did Amon come up with this new deck?!

"...Add a card with the [Auto Memory Doll] tag to your hand."

Amon was unaware of the little girl's secret thoughts.

At the start of the game, he simply summoned Violet on the field and waited for Tang Shuang to make her move. Only after Tang Shuang finished her move did he slowly activate Violet's effect.

The reason for choosing the [Violet Evergarden] deck is that it is the only deck that is most suitable in Amon's hand.

Amon doesn't want to use birds, plants, or zombies.

However, the other cards, whether [Giants] or [Pokémon], are all cards that Amon uses to counter Silver!

It's a solid Silver deck, and among the decks Amon owns, only the [Violet Evergarden] deck is still in the Bronze stage.

It's just the right size to beat up my sister.

Amon smiled smugly at Tang Shuang across from him, making the girl tense. But Amon's next words almost made her jump out of her skin:

"I choose to add [Cadelia] to my hand!"

"Eek—!!!"

Tang Shuang almost jumped up.

She had watched the entire competition with Amon and was particularly impressed by the trainer girls under Amon's command. Among them, the only two Elite Four trainers, Cattleya, with her princess-like elegance, left a deep impression on her!

then……

"Normal Summon, [Auto Memory Doll - Cattleya]." Amidst Tang Shuang's unease, Amon ultimately summoned a mature woman dressed in a red gothic miniskirt.

Her long black hair is completely different from that of the trainer, Cattleya.

With a smile and composure typical of mature women, this Cattleya's figure was unusually good compared to the other, who was underdeveloped.

Something that seemed about to emerge instantly caught the attention of Tang Shuang, who was still a young girl.

"!!!" Tang Shuang, having shaken off the attraction, realized that Amon had not summoned Gadria, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Superpowers, but another card with the same name.

Just like lumberjack Zhang San, and outlaw Zhang San...

They just have the same name!

been played!

Tang Shuang immediately puffed up her cheeks in anger.

"How adorable, Amon's sister." Gadriya stood gracefully beside Amon, looking at Tang Shuang, who was puffing up in anger, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Ah."

Amon did not deny it.

My younger sister is indeed quite beautiful. In terms of human appearance, although she can't compare to Gadria, who is a card spirit, she is still a rare beauty.

However, this did not stop Amon from wanting to beat her up: "Activate the effect of [Caderia]. When it is successfully summoned, Special Summon a card that holds [Letter] or [Auto Memory Doll] from the Deck. If this effect is successfully activated, Cattleya returns to the Deck."

"I choose to Special Summon [Auto Memory Doll Alice] to the field."

"Then I activate the effect of [Alice]. When Alice enters the field, I can send three cards from my hand to the graveyard. Similarly, when the effect is successfully activated, this card returns to the deck."

Wearing white trousers, she has the name Alice, but is actually a short-haired woman dressed as a man.

After the girl appeared, she reached out her hand to Amon.

Amon casually handed her the three cards in his hand, and then the girl turned into light and disappeared, returning directly to her deck. However, the three cards she carried in her hand did not return with her.

Finally, it was sent to the cemetery.

Cattleya tossed her long hair aside, turned around, and disappeared, leaving behind a wisp of fragrance.

"!!!"

Tang Shuang realized, "Since you're going to return to the deck anyway, why did you summon Gadriya through Violet? Couldn't you just summon Alice directly!?"

Isn't this unnecessary?!

"Of course not."

Amon categorically denied it, his face serious: "If I had summoned Alice directly, I wouldn't have been able to scare you just now."

Ugh—! How awful this person is!

Tang Shuang gritted her teeth as she recalled how frightened she had been before.

Wen Nuan, who was watching from the sidelines, subconsciously recalled Tang Shuang's frightened expression, like a small animal, and nodded unconsciously.

It was definitely necessary!

Chapter 199: Ladies of the Tang Palace

The three minions that Amon had just summoned on the field were instantly reduced to only one.

Violet remained on the field.

Alice and Cattleya's appearances seemed like Amon had only come to show off before returning to his deck.

Don't be so surprised.

Amon, on the contrary, said matter-of-factly, "After all, they are just behind-the-scenes clerical workers, and it's best not to disturb them when it comes to going to the battlefield."

“Of course, Violet is an exception.”

“Yes, Major.” Violet nodded very seriously: “Violet has always been here.”

"..."

Tang Shuang was bombarded with displays of affection from the couple.

But compared to the trivial matter of dog food, Tang Shuang is now more concerned about Amon's intentions. She used two normal summoning opportunities, but only ended up discarding three of her hand cards into the graveyard.

What is going on?!

Tang Shuang couldn't understand Amon's intentions at all.

The girl was deep in thought, but Amon was about to take action: "Activate the effect of the [Letter from the Spring Breeze] in my hand and send this card to the Graveyard."

"This effect is a universal shared effect for [Letter] type cards; only one card can be used per turn."

"Then, I activate the effect of [Spring Breeze] in my graveyard again. When I have four [Letters] in my graveyard, I gain an additional ability to use the effect ① of a [Letter] card!"

"Place the letter in my hand, which is sent by song, into the cemetery."

Amon throws a card from his hand into the graveyard.

Although Silver IV Amon still has two more Normal Summons, he doesn't need them anymore. Amon doesn't want to use that to bully the little guy—beating someone is one thing, but beating them badly is another!

"...It activates in a graveyard?!"

Tang Shuang had already figured it out.

Amon's deck works by constantly filling the graveyard and then activating card effects in the graveyard!

Although there was only one graceful young girl standing on the field, who looked like she couldn't even kill a chicken, behind that girl were countless swords, spears, and cannons!

Each letter is like a loaded gun barrel.

Furthermore, these types of cards, activated from the graveyard or the hand, belong to the category of Special Summon and are not subject to the limit on the number of Normal Summons!

To defeat this deck, you must act quickly!

As time goes by, more and more letters will be sent to the cemetery, and Amon's power accumulated in the cemetery will become more and more profound. When this power continues to a certain extent, his defeat will be inevitable!

--powerful!
