Duels should be played with a smile.

"The summoning condition is two monsters with different card names. Arrow confirmed, I will set arrows for Ryouri and Musou on the field!"

"All dreams are but illusions! The nightmare melody plays, extinguishing the light of hope! Crimson Knight, the flames of indolence ignite you, become an undead bird that burns everything! Link Summon! Play the lament! Link 2! [Dream Collapse - Phoenix]!"

With a cry, the phoenix, tainted by the sin of sloth, flew out from the corpse of the red lotus, scattering flames of evil.

[Fire · Link 2 · Demon Race · Attack Power 1900 · Arrow ↑ →]

"I get it!" a member of the audience suddenly stood up and exclaimed.

"What do you know?"

"So Sky Striker Princess steals other people's monsters to fight! And Link Summoning is most cost-effective when using other people's monsters!"

"Uh...it doesn't seem wrong?"

Chapter 125 Why are you wearing someone else's revealing clothes?

As the phoenix cries out, the Crimson Lotus Flame ignites a card in Leyou's hand, absorbing its energy and unleashing the flames upon the enemy's field.

"The effect of Phoenix: If Link Summon is successful, discard 1 card from your hand, target and destroy 1 card in your opponent's back row. If this card is in a Link state when this effect is activated, you can draw 1 more card."

Since it was a demonstration link, even though Sky Striker Princesses basically had no chance of achieving a mutual connection, Leyou kindly explained how the mutual connection in the Phoenix's explosion effect works, which can be considered as popularizing knowledge for the audience present.

"I discard the dew in my hand, disrupting the unity of your clan in the rear."

The reason for sending the second sword woman he had just retrieved to the graveyard was simple: he had just drawn the second Dewy Woman—that's how sword women are, they either don't come at all, or they come in several of them.

"I'll activate my face-down Spell Card, Sky Striker - Tiger Shark Cannon, to banish Dragon God from your Graveyard. Since you have three Spell Cards in your Graveyard, I don't need to banish it; instead, I'll Special Summon it to my field!"

Despite its name being "Cannon," its function is to dig up graves and fight minotaurs. After seeing yet another magic card from Sky Striker Princess that "borrows" the enemy's power to fight, viewers felt that their understanding of Sky Striker Princess had deepened a bit.

Sure enough, that's how this deck is used!

The God of War had just returned, and the Dragon God, who had been blown into the graveyard not long ago, was easily pulled to the Leyu field by the cannon. Based on Leyu's previous actions, the audience began to look forward to the appearance of the next Link Monster.

"Reappear once more! Circuits that bring nightmares!"

"The summoning condition remains the same: summon two monsters with different card names. Arrow confirmed, I've set the Phoenix and Dragon God (both Link 2 on the field) as arrows!"

"All dreams are but illusions! The nightmare melody plays, extinguishing the light of the stars! Knight of the Yellow Flower, your furious thunder roars through the sky, become the unicorn beast that crushes everything! Link Summon! Play the lament! Link 3! [Dream Collapse - Unicorn]!"

Thunder roared, and a unicorn tainted by the sin of wrath was born from the corpse of Huanghua. Lightning struck, as if to split the sky in two.

[Dark Link 3 Demon Race Attack Power 2200 Arrow ←↓→]

"The Unicorn's effect: If Link Summoned, discard 1 card from your hand and target 1 card to bounce it back to your deck. I discard [Flash Weapon - Hamp] from my hand and bounce your Mad King back to your deck!"

Similar names, similar summoning phrases, similar effects—it's clear this is a series, a series outside of Sky Striker. So, in addition to their curiosity about Sky Striker, viewers also have an added curiosity about Dream Collapse.

Want to buy? Sorry, it's not available for sale right now. We suggest you print it yourself, or go to Duel Links and defeat the Pokémon of the Dream Collapse family to gain their approval. It's completely free, isn't that incredibly generous?

The unicorn, which was corrupted from the Yellow Flower Machine Knight, easily cleared out another monster on the field, and still had a lot of cards left unused, leaving the opponent's field with very little left.

"I'm going to activate another Tiger Shark Cannon in my hand and target your Dragon God in the graveyard again to steal it onto my field!"

Tiger Shark Cannon is a powerful quick-attack spell card, and Leyou is a pure love warrior, so it's understandable to include several copies, right?

The Dragon God, which had just been sent to the graveyard as link material, hadn't even had a chance to rest when the cannon, which it had only seen not long ago, was once again aimed at it, accurately captured it, and dragged it onto the playground. The once majestic Dragon God's current state can only be described in four words.

I have no will to live.

"As expected, although Sky Striker Princess's spell cards all require that there be no monsters in the main area, forcing such a cute girl to fight alone, with the help of these powerful spells, the enemy's monsters are also our own monsters! Now I really understand!" another duelist who thought he had grasped the essence of Sky Striker muttered to himself.

"To be honest, that's true." The person next to him nodded in agreement.

"Dragon God? Relax, I'll send you back right away!" With a smile, Leyou glanced at the listless Dragon God and kept his promise, immediately sending the Dragon God back after he had only been there for a few seconds.

This time, the one and only designated big brother of Sky Striker Princess has made his appearance!

"Reveal yourself! The circuit that guides the future!"

The most primal and purest pale blue circuits appeared, and the power of the Electro Clan surged within them.

"The summoning conditions are 2 or more Effect Monsters and confirmation of the arrow. I will set the Unicorn and Dragon God, which are Link 3 monsters on the field, as arrows!"

"Riding the swift winds that connect to the unknown world!! Link summon! Let me access!! Link 4! Access Code Talker! [Access Code Talker]!"

The noble golden knight, wielding a golden lance, arrives riding the swift winds flowing from the electronic world. He will sweep away all obstacles and annihilate all enemies.

[Dark Link 4 Cyberse 2300 Attack Power ←↑↓→]

His standard 2300 attack power in the Code Language family seems somewhat inconsistent with his difficulty of debut and handsome appearance, but this is only a temporary illusion.

As we all know, any visit with an attack power below 5300 is considered a failing grade.

"The effect of [Access Code Talker]: If a Link Summon is successfully performed, target 1 Link Monster that was used as Link Material, and this card gains 1000 ATK for each Link Marker of that monster. I'm targeting the Link 3 Unicorn, so Access Code Talker gains 3000 ATK!"

[Attack power: 2300 → 5300]

"Attack power of 5300? Isn't that even stronger than the invincible Five Divine Dragons?"

"Although its attack power is indeed higher than that of the Five Emperors Dragon, this monster is a Dark attribute. The Five Emperors Dragon can be fine as long as it is in Defense position, right?"

"It can't be that simple, can it? Look at the previous monsters, they all had very strong effects. This Link 4 monster must also have a very powerful effect, right?"

Even though many people believed that high attack power was the best in the DM era, with the emergence of more and more Effect Monsters, duelists no longer regarded attack power as the sole criterion for judgment.

Especially after seeing the wide variety of Link Monsters with different effects—the Link 6 monster with all resistances and the Link 5 monster with three effects—they really broadened their horizons.

"The effect of Access Code Talker: banish 1 Link Monster from your field or Graveyard, destroy 1 card your opponent controls without targeting, and your opponent cannot chain this effect!"

"I banish the unicorn from the graveyard to destroy your vanguard!"

"Let me have access!"

The reliable knight had just raised his lance when, instead of using it to stab the enemy and create a hole, he used it as a throwing weapon. He aimed at the enemy on the opposite side of the field and hurled it with all his might. The enemy from the dark world shattered like fragile porcelain.

This powerful effect unsurprisingly elicited another gasp of amazement—which lasted only a moment, as something even more astonishing occurred.

"The card-bombing effect of the visit is not limited to once per turn. As long as the attribute of the monster banished each time is different, it can be activated continuously!"

"I will banish the Phoenix from the graveyard to destroy your Hunters on the field!"

"Come on! Let me continue my visit!"

The loyal knight once again hurled his lance at the enemy, and with a crisp sound, only a lone Orichalcos barrier remained on the battlefield.

There are other Link Monsters of other attributes in Leyou's graveyard, but he doesn't intend to destroy the barrier as well.

My ability to control souls is still quite rudimentary. If I can't intercept the enemy's soul in time after the barrier explodes, it would be better to use the power of the barrier to ensure that I can keep the person in place.

According to the system, he had only awakened one-third of his power. Although he had some special abilities and could do many things, he was basically only half-baked. He thought that once he had awakened more, he might be able to do even more.

If he could fully awaken before Dartz caused trouble, Leyou even wanted to try and see if he could take down that Orichalcos god with his own body—a real man should confront things head-on!

"Why didn't you dismantle the barrier as well? Are you perhaps afraid of the power of the god Orichalcos?"

"5,300 attack power is indeed very high, but as the Duel King, I have a full 11,000 LP. Even if I take your monster's attack, I will only lose less than half of my LP!"

"Speaking of which, I should thank you for the extra three thousand LP you gave me! Hahahaha!"

Relying on her large number of LPs, Gu Yu mocked, while also trying to provoke Le You into not dismantling the barrier.

As long as the barrier still exists, he can easily take away Leyou's last LP in the next round!

"11,000 LP is a lot? And didn't you ever consider that I might have deliberately given you those 3,000 LP so that you wouldn't die so quickly, so that the audience could enjoy the show more?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yu was also somewhat unsure, because Le You still had a lot of cards left, and he didn't know if Le You could summon another powerful monster to wipe out his remaining LP as well.

Aside from what he saw in this duel, he knew nothing about Link Monsters.

The summoning method he was more familiar with was called Synchro, but unfortunately his deck was lost. He could only temporarily borrow the deck of the guy he possessed and add some of his own power to create a deck that was already considered very strong in this era. As a result, he directly encountered a deck that was even more advanced than he had expected.

"Don't worry, your fate will be revealed soon!"

"I activate the spell card 'Pot of Greed' in my hand, returning the Water Blade, Fire Blade, Earth Blade, G, and Lightning Weapon from my graveyard to my deck and shuffling them, then I draw two cards."

The deck contained two Iaijutsu and two Greed cards. At the start of the game, he flipped two Iaijutsu and drew two Greed cards. He was helpless and could only say that he couldn't let Lingyi sleep too soundly next time. When a woman touches you, all the things that come out are things from outside the system, which is really deceptive!

After glancing at the two cards drawn, Leyou set one to the back row and immediately entered battle.

"Just one monster? Are you planning to wait until your next turn to finish me off? Well, I regret to inform you that you might not live to see your next turn!"

"You talk too much nonsense!"

"Access code talker, attack directly!"

"Give him a good beating!"

Sensing the master's displeasure, the access code speaker swiftly drew his spear and charged into battle. The spear, which had just been used as a throwing weapon, finally unleashed its true power in the hands of this noble and loyal knight, stabbing Gu Yu in the body and nearly piercing him through the heart.

[Guiyu LP: 11000 → 5700]

"Hahahaha, is that all? It doesn't even hurt! My LP is enough for you to shoot me again and there's still some left!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Leyou narrowed his eyes and slapped out a magic card from his hand.

"Quick-Play Spell [Sky Striker Rush - Combo]: If there are no monsters in the Main Monster Zone, you can activate this spell to send 1 other card you control to the Graveyard and Special Summon 1 Sky Striker Monster from your Extra Deck."

"I send the [Access Code Talker] on the field to the Graveyard and Special Summon [Sky Striker Zeke]!"

After completing her visit, Lingyi left work in a relaxed manner. She had only rested for a short while when she was teleported back to the field by a dazzling light and shadow, entering her best friend's equally cool black armor.

[Dark Link 2 Machine Race Attack Power 1500 Arrow Up/Down]

"Rei, Rei, why are you wearing Ryou's armor!"

"You talk too much!"

"I'm just trying to be helpful, you're wearing Ryuyo's armor now, what will Ryuyo wear later?"

After teasing Lingyi, Leyou went on to explain the aftereffects of the consecutive strikes.

"The condition for Sky Striker to activate its extra effect is not that there are 3 Spell Cards in the Graveyard, but that there is a LIGHT/DARK Sky Striker monster on the field or in the Graveyard. Once this condition is met, the Special Summoned monster gains 1000 ATK!"

Zeke's attack power: 1500 → 2500

Sky Striker only has one LIGHT monster, LvYo. It's not easy for LvYo to jump from the graveyard, and if LvYo appears early, Sky Striker's own magic will be unusable, which is quite awkward.

Without restrictions, the strength of consecutive strikes would increase several levels.

"Next is the effect of [Sky Striker Princess - Ryou] in my hand: When there is a Sky Striker Princess monster that is not on the field, you can Special Summon her from your hand."

"Come out, Royo, come out and see Rei wearing your clothes!"

Another girl with long gray hair, dressed in black and carrying a red sword, stood silently with her sword in hand. With a rather cold personality, she ignored Leyou's teasing, only glancing casually at Zero, who was wearing her own armor, before paying no further attention.
