Is this the world of card dealers? Yada thieves!

"Then, in conjunction with the effect of [Nibelungen's Treasure], I will activate the effect of [Blue-Eyes Dragon]!"

"You can activate this effect when your opponent activates a Spell/Trap/Monster effect. Return the Blue-Eyes 3D Dragon on my field to my Deck, and then Special Summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my Deck!"

As Kaiba watched as Chigurhfrid inserted the card into the Spell & Trap Zone, he coldly returned his Blue-Eyes 3D Dragon to his deck, saying, "Although the Ring of Nibelung can negate the effect of Blue-Eyes 3D Dragon after activation, it was activated by Treasure of Nibelung."

"In other words, as long as I chain [Nibelungen's Treasure] to activate the effect of [Blue-Eyes 3D Dragon], I can make it lose its equipped target before [Ring of Nibelungen] is equipped on [Blue-Eyes 3D Dragon]!"

A chest full of glittering treasure appeared in Chigfried's backfield, and from within the treasure flew a ring that fell towards the Blue-Eyes Dragon on Kaiba's field. However, just before the ring was about to hit, the Blue-Eyes Dragon's body turned into a phantom rainbow of light and dissipated, and the seemingly valuable ring smashed to pieces on the ground.

Amidst the shimmering fragments of the ring, the final card in the Kaiba deck, [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], descended upon the field!

"Roar!!"

[Blue-Eyes White Dragon] [ATK3000]

Chapter 448 Blue-Eyes White Dragon Attacks Brunhilde!

Chigurhfrid was quite annoyed that his "Ring of the Nibelungs" tactic had failed.

Restraining the Blue-Eyes Hydra and then destroying it in front of Kaiba, while not as satisfying as destroying the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, is at least a substitute.

However, his scheme was completely seen through by Seto Kaiba. The Ring of the Nibelung, having lost its equipment, fell into an empty space and was sent to the graveyard.

"Damn it!" With a sour face, Chigurhfrid's fingers rested on the Duel Disk. "Even so, the Ring of the Nibelung was successfully activated and not negated. Therefore, the effect of the Treasure of the Nibelung continues to be processed!"

"I draw five cards from my deck!"

Compared to [Heavenly Treasure] which allows the opponent to draw cards as well, [Life-Slaying Treasure] which discards all cards after five turns, and [Fate Treasure] which depends entirely on luck on how many cards you draw, Chigurhrid's [Nibelungen Treasure] is practically cheating, drawing five cards from your deck almost without any cost.

In Duel Monsters, while the cards placed on the field are quite important, the resources in your hand are equally important. The former is like the cannons used to fire, and the latter is like the cannonballs.

Although the cannons at the Seahorse Field had thick barrels, heaven knows what kind of shells Chigurhfrid had prepared.

Looking at the cards he had drawn, Chigurhfrid smiled smugly, for he had drawn two rather good cards.

"I activate the Spell Card [Angel's Charity], draw three cards from my deck, and then choose two cards from my hand to discard into the Graveyard."

As he spoke, Chigurhfrid drew three cards from his deck, and as he prepared to discard them, he seemed to have already planned to draw the two cards on the far right. However, before sending them to the graveyard, Chigurhfrid deliberately showed one of them to Kaiba.

"I'm going to discard these two, and one of them is this Union Monster Card, [Chariot of Destiny]."

"Then I'll activate the Spell Card, [War Goddess's Ride]!"

Upon hearing the card that Chigfried was about to activate, even Kaiba couldn't help but take it seriously.

In the 【War Goddess】 deck, all the monsters that have appeared so far, even the highest-level 【War Goddess Brunhilde】, only have an attack power of 1800 points, so it does not belong to the aggressive type of deck.

However, the [War Goddess] deck contains many cards with effects that are as overpowered as fake cards, such as the [Nibelungen Treasure] mentioned earlier, and [War Goddess's Ride], which can Special Summon all [War Goddess] monsters in your hand at once.

"Because of the effect of [War Goddess's Ride], I can Special Summon all the [War Goddess] monsters in my hand to the field." Because [Nibelungen's Treasure] drew five cards and Chigurhfrid drew three cards from his hand, he only kept the last two cards in his hand.

"Come forth, [Goddess of War - Fourth Daughter], [Goddess of War - Fifth Daughter], [Goddess of War - Sixth Daughter]!"

Three pillars of light rose from Chigurhfrid's field, and three ponies and three young girls emerged from them side by side.

The appearance of three monsters together should have been a very impressive scene, but the three originally majestic [War Goddesses], as soon as they emerged from the pillar of light, upon seeing the imposing [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] on Kaiba's field, without [Blue-Eyes] even making any intimidating move, all hid behind [War Goddess Brunhilde], trembling in fear.

【Goddess of War - Six Women】【1☆/Light】

[Angel Race/Effect]

[0/2000]

【Goddess of War - Five Women】【2☆/Light】

[Angel Race/Effect]

[800/1200]

【Goddess of War - Four Women】【3☆/Light】

[Angel Race/Effect]

[1400/1400]

"Are they all low-level monsters... Hmph, utterly pathetic."

Seahorse coldly stared at the terrified [Goddesses of War]. He had no interest in such trivial matters as "showing mercy to women"; women were a nuisance, only hindering his card-drawing speed.

Chigurhfrid narrowed his eyes, a cold smile playing on his lips: "That's right, the [War Goddesses] in my hand are all weak minions, and because of the effect of [War Goddess's Ride], they will all return to my hand at the end of this turn."

"However, I'll deal with you before that happens. It's more interesting to drag the high and mighty Seto Kaiba into the abyss with a weak monster!"

Chigurhrid pointed his finger at the lowest-ranking and youngest of the monsters, [War Goddess Six Daughters]: "If [War Goddess Six Daughters] is successfully Special Summoned, I can Special Summon one [War Goddess] monster from my Deck, and Special Summon [War Goddess Eldest Daughter]!"

"Then there is the effect of [War Goddess - Four Women] during the main phase. I can flip over the cards at the top of my deck that equal the number of [War Goddess] monsters I control. If there are any Normal or Trap Cards, I can add one of them to my hand and send the rest to the Graveyard; if there are none, the flipped cards are returned to the deck."

At this moment, on Chigfrid's field, five monsters—[War Goddess Six], [Five], [Four], [Eldest], and [War Goddess Brunhilde]—completely fill the field, allowing Chigfrid to reveal the maximum number of cards: five.

Five cards were flipped over from the top of the deck. Although the first card he saw was a normal spell card, Chigurhfrid frowned because the top card in his deck was [Treasure from Heaven].

Although Chigurhfrid has overly powerful card-drawing cards like "Nibelungen Treasure," which is similar to a fake card, no one complains about having too many cards in their hand, so he also included a "Heavenly Treasure" in his deck.

However, it's not appropriate to use this card now, because Chigurhrid sealed Kaiba's draw phase last turn. Kaiba's hand is now empty and he won't be able to draw cards next turn, making him seem like a caged beast without food or water.

If I use the "Heavenly Treasure Card", I can replenish my hand to six cards, but Seto Kaiba's hand will also be replenished to six cards.

Rather than drawing more cards to increase his chances of defeating Seto Kaiba this turn, Chigurhfrid didn't want to risk giving Seto Kaiba a chance to fight back, so even if he got the [Heavenly Treasure Card], he would never use it.

Fortunately, the only card that can be used among the flipped cards is the "Heavenly Treasure Card".

"The card I've chosen is this one, the Normal Spell Card 'Goblin's Elixir,' and I activate it." Sending the remaining four cards, including 'Heavenly Treasure,' to the Graveyard, Chigurhfrid inserts a card into the Spell & Trap Zone, "Recovering 600 Life Points."

[Chigurfred: 2800→3400LP]

Watching Chigurhfrid's actions, Kaiba sneered: "As expected, you're just a boring mediocre guy."

"Among the cards you just sent to the graveyard was [Heavenly Treasure Card], right? Were you worried that the side effect of that card would make me draw cards too? Instead of strengthening yourself, you chose to weaken your opponent. Instead of thinking about increasing the success rate, you were already thinking about how to deal with failure."

"You fourth-rate duelist with a third-rate deck."

"Shut up, Seto Kaiba!"

Chigurhfrid had been wondering what the seahorse's expression would be after seeing his series of actions. He wanted to see surprise and fear, but definitely not the contemptuous attitude he was seeing now.

"I'm not a reckless guy like you!"

What's wrong with looking ahead and behind, considering failure before success, and calculating gains and losses?

I am Chigurhfried von Schreidt, president of the Schreidt Group, a true genius, an elite individual who surpasses the vast majority of ordinary people. Therefore, I absolutely cannot fail; I must maintain a 100% success rate!

With my current odds of winning already at 80%, why would I increase my odds of winning to 90% at the cost of increasing my failure rate from 20% to 50%?

Kigufried glared angrily at the calm-faced Kaiba. He was the one who had the absolute advantage, so what gave Kaiba Seto such confidence?

It's so annoying to look at!

"That posture is disgusting to look at, Seto Kaiba! I'd like to see if you can still maintain this arrogant attitude after your crushing defeat!" Chigurhfrid waved his hand forward, "I activate the effect of [War Goddess - Eldest Daughter], banishing [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] from your graveyard, making the original attack power of [War Goddess - Eldest Daughter] equal to that of [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]!"

"What?! How dare you lay a finger on my Blue Eyes!" Kaiba's expression instantly crumbled.

For Kaiba, everything else is negotiable, but the Blue-Eyes is his absolute Achilles' heel. Even though Hayato only used the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the virtual world, which didn't belong to Kaiba, Kaiba still chased after Hayato to play cards for a long time afterward.

Upon hearing this, [War Goddess - Eldest Daughter] raised her sword above her head, and a white light flew out from the seahorse's graveyard and surged into the sword. The [Blue-Eyed White Dragon]'s unwilling howl echoed from the jade on the sword.

【Goddess of War - Eldest Daughter】【ATK1600→3000】

"It's not over yet!"

Chigurhfrid pointed at [War Goddess Five] again: "[War Goddess Five] effect: All [War Goddess] monsters on my field gain ATK equal to the number of banished opponent's monsters!"

【Battle Goddess - Five Women】【ATK800→1000】

【Battle Goddess - Four Women】【ATK1400→1600】

【Goddess of War - Eldest Daughter】【ATK3000→3200】

【War Goddess Brunhilde】【ATK2800→3000】

"Not enough, not enough. This level of fear is not enough to instill complete terror in you!"

"Therefore, I will activate this card again!"

Chigurhfrid drew one of his two cards: "Spell Card, [Pegasus Wings]! This card can only be activated if [Chariot of Destiny] is in my Graveyard. During this turn, my [War Goddess] monster can attack the opponent's duelist directly with its ATK halved!"

At this moment, four of the five [War Goddess] monsters on Chigfrid's field are in Attack Position, and thanks to the effect of [War Goddess Five Women], their combined Attack Power has increased to a full 8800 points. Even if it is halved, they still have a full 4400 points, which is more than enough to wipe out Kaiba's Life Points!

"Then, let's enter my battle phase!" Chigfrid laughed triumphantly. "Your monsters can no longer protect you, Kaiba. This is your last turn, hahahahahaha!"

"First up is the appetizer: a direct attack from [War Goddess - Eldest Daughter]!"

Having absorbed the power of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the War Goddess, now possessing the highest attack power in the entire arena, raised her longsword for the second time. However, this time, she did so not to guide the souls of the dead, but to slaughter.

White wings sprouted from the side of the steed beneath him, transforming it into a pegasus and carrying the [Goddess of War - Eldest Daughter] into the sky. After passing the [Dragon Ruler - Dragon Dictator -] and the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], the [Goddess of War - Eldest Daughter] swooped down towards the seahorse!

Seeing this, the seahorse snorted coldly and shouted, "Don't even think about succeeding! I'll activate my cover card!"

"Trap Card [Counterattack Gate]!"

“I negate the direct attack of [War Goddess - Eldest Daughter], and I draw a card from my deck,” Kaiba said, his fingers resting on the deck. “If the card I draw is a monster card, I can summon it in Attack Position.”

"Draw!"

After drawing a card from his deck, Kaiba glanced at it but didn't summon it. Instead, he looked at Chigfrid and said, "What a pity, Chigfrid. Because of your own monster's attack, I've drawn another card."

"Furthermore, if [Goddess of War - Eldest Daughter]'s attack misses, you have completely lost the ability to defeat me this turn!"

In response to the seahorse, Chigurhfrid gave a disgruntled snort: "Hmph, even so, my remaining [War Goddesses] can still continue to launch direct attacks against you!"

"[War Goddess - Fourth Daughter], [War Goddess - Fifth Daughter], [War Goddess - Brunhilde], attack the opposing duelist directly!"

At Chigurhrid's command, the three remaining War Goddesses on his field, excluding the one in defense position, mounted their white-winged steeds and launched an attack on Kaiba.

The first to be affected is [War Goddess Brunhilde], who has the highest attack power besides [War Goddess Eldest Daughter].

Although the attack of [War Goddess - Eldest Daughter] was blocked, the combined attack power of the three [War Goddesses] that launched the attack was still a full 5600 points. Even after being halved, it was still 2800 points, which was not a negligible amount of damage.

But seeing the approaching [War Goddesses], Kaiba sneered: "Finally, they've fallen for it..."

"Then let me retaliate with my fury, [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]!"

"Attack Brunhilde!"

"what?!"

To Chigfrid's astonishment, the Dragon Ruler - Dragon Dictator - on the seahorse field suddenly began to play the flute. However, compared to the beautiful melody he played when summoning the Blue Eyes, what he played now was pure noise, serving no purpose other than to annoy those who heard it.
