Yu-Gi-Oh!: Don't you have your own cards?

With the activation of [Swap Hero], Yutian traded four of his sheep tokens for four of Peacock Dance's monsters.

Peacock Dance's face gradually turned rosy, her breathing became difficult, and her breasts began to heave violently.

"No, You Tian, ​​you, you, you..."

Peacock Dance shakily raised her hand, trying to pull the monster in the celestial arena back.

But all of this was in vain.

She regretted it.

She regretted not only the duel, but also meeting You Tian and even treating him to steak.

【ox】?

The mere thought of the word "peacock dance" makes me want to vomit.

She vowed that she would never eat steak again in her life!

Call ~

Call ~

Calm down!

Dance! You're a woman who's seen it all! It's alright, just a mere minotaur.

"Sister Wu, are you alright? Should we see a doctor?" You Tian asked with some concern.

Kong Quewu waved her hand, indicating that she was fine.

You Tian nodded.

It has to be our Sister Wu! Her mental fortitude is incredible! Her resilience is equivalent to that of four moths!

"Since you're alright, I'll continue my attack with 'your' four monsters~"

You Tian emphasized the word "your".

puff!

Kong Quewu felt as if she were spitting out blood.

That You Tian! He must have done it on purpose!!

"Little brother Youtian, I also have four of your sheep tokens on the field right now. You can't do any damage to me this turn!"

You Tian nodded.

"Since you've reminded me, Sister Wu, I can't keep messing around here."

Peacock Dance: Hmm? Oh no! Could it be that he has a [Lightning Strike] or something similar that can clear the field?!

"I haven't performed a Normal Summon this turn, so I'm going to Normal Summon a low-level monster!"

You Tian picked up a card from his hand.

"I summon this [Possessed Blood Soul] from my hand."

Attack Power: 1200

The peacock dance's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly relaxed.

It turns out it was just a normal summon. You scared the hell out of me.

I still have 3900 health points. This round, after I clear out the four sheep, he will use the [Amazon Tiger King] to attack me directly.

Peacock Dance looked down at her card.

With this card, You Tian can only deal a maximum of about 1550 damage to me this turn, which is negligible!

I can handle it!

Unexpectedly, You Tian gave a wicked smile.

"I activate the special effect of [Possessed Blood Soul]."

"This card can be Tributed to gain control of all face-up Level 3 or lower monsters on your opponent's field!"

"So, Sister Wu, control of your sheep-themed items on the field will return to me!"

Peacock Dance: ...

The peacock dance's eyes were vacant.

There are no limits to how powerful the Tauren can be!

This sentence kept echoing in her mind.

Eight monsters in one round? Are you even human?

Why don't you just stop calling yourself You Tian and start calling yourself Niu Tian instead!

Meow! Bang! ×3

After You Tian sacrificed the [Possessed Blood Soul], he only had one empty slot on his field. Therefore, only one sheep could return to You Tian's field in the end. The other three sheep were destroyed by the rules themselves.

Now, there wasn't a single barrier monster left on the Peacock Dance stage.

"Sister Wu, now it's time to decide the winner!"

Kong Quewu's eyes narrowed slightly.

You Tian: "I will change both [Amazon's Chainsman] and [Amazon's Spirit Master] to attack stance."

"Your [Amazon Village] effect applies to the entire field, so my four Amazon monsters will also gain 200 ATK!"

[Amazonian Fighter] [Attack Power: 1500→1700]

[Amazon's Chainsman] [Attack Power: 1500→1700]

[Amazonian Spirit Master] [Attack Power: 800→1000]

[The Lion King of the Amazons] [Attack Power: 2900→3100]!!!

"Battle begins! Go! Monsters, launch a direct attack on Mai-nee!"

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!

The area was instantly enveloped in dust and smoke from the monster's attack.

A moment of silence followed, and the smoke and dust slowly settled.

You Tian stared intently at the peacock dance amidst the smoke and dust, his brow furrowing.

[Peacock Dance LP: 3900→150]

Peacock Dance, still has health!

"Excuse me, Brother Youtian, I've activated this card, the Continuous Trap [Silver Screen Mirror].

"【Silver Screen Mirror Wall】!" You Tian's heart sank slightly.

[Effect: During each of your Standby Phases, the player who plays this card pays 2000 LP, or destroys this card without paying LP. While this card is in the Spell & Trap Zone, the ATK of your opponent's attacking monsters is halved.]

"Does this card halve the attack power of all the monsters I control?"

Kong Quewu nodded.

"That's right, the total ATK of the monsters on your field is 7500. After halving it, I will only take 3750 damage."

The heavens are silent.

"I set a card face down, and my turn ends."

Peacock Dance looked at You Tian's expression and felt a little puzzled.

"Brother You Tian, ​​I don't quite understand. You clearly have the advantage in the current situation."

"I haven't managed to get a single point of damage to your health so far."

"And my current life points are only 150, like a candle flickering in the wind, and there are no monsters on the field."

"You're about to win the duel, so why do you look so serious?"

You Tian: ...

Holy crap!! I was afraid of the "last candle in the wind" move from the three laws of duels, so I ended the round without saying anything.

How can the peacock dance perform such a miraculous skill on its own?!

However, after experiencing the grandeur of the peacock dance, You Tian felt slightly relieved.

"Um, Sister Wu, I have something to say, but I don't know if you'll understand."

The peacock tilted its head slightly.

"Actually, health points aren't that important in a duel."

"This thing is only distinguished by 'existence' or 'non-existence.' 4000 and 150 are essentially the same."

A question mark appeared above the peacock's head.

What is You Tian saying? Health points are like a duelist's life force. If health points are low, doesn't that mean the duel is about to end in defeat?

Seeing the puzzled look on Kong Quewu's face, You Tian understood that she simply couldn't comprehend the consensus held by this Blue Star card player.

"Hmm, let me put it this way, whether you have 4000 health or 150 health, will it affect your counterattack next turn?"

Kong Quewu was stunned.

Is You Tian trying to encourage me?

From the moment she first saw You Tian, ​​Kong Que Wu knew that You Tian was an extremely powerful duelist.

The reason is nothing more than this.

His eyes, You Tian's eyes, were so unique.

Mai Kongjaku has seen that look before. The last person to have that look was Yugi Muto.

That confidence, sharpness, and transcendence that seemed to come from another world belonged to a duelist on a completely different level.

Peacock Dance slowly placed her hand on the duel disk.

Da da da.

Ok?

Peacock Dance looked in the direction of the sound and realized that her own hands were trembling.

Am I scared?

Actually, I've been afraid ever since twenty years ago.

A girl lost her family at an age when she needed them most; and later, at an age when she needed friendship the most, she saw through the wickedness of human nature.

In the end, even love couldn't be faced squarely...

What could be more desperate than one's own situation?

"A woman three years older than her husband is a golden brick in the rough."

I am six or seven years older than Jonouchi.

Next time you see him, you'll definitely bring him to your doorstep.

……

[Will 4000 HP or 150 HP affect your counterattack next round?]

That's right!

What You Tian wanted to tell me was: even in despair, you must not give up your belief in winning!

At this moment, Kong Quewu seemed to be facing herself squarely.

Her hands stopped trembling.

"Thank you, Brother Youtian!"

A question mark appeared above You Tian's head. Why did he have such a bad feeling?

Peacock Dance returned You Tian's smile with confidence.

"My turn, draw a card!"

"Little brother You Tian, ​​I haven't lost yet! This round, I'll show you my limits!"

You Tian: Holy crap, something's not right! Wait, the "Candle in the Wind" skill can actually be triggered on its own?!
