Duels should be played with a smile.

"If there are no multiple effects of the same card on the same chain, that effect can only be activated after chain 3. You can perform a maximum of 3 Normal Summons this turn."

Tallinn immediately became alert.

She was originally just an ordinary duelist, but she gained the recognition of many elves in Duel Links and went on some very strange adventures. Among them, the super rare card Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring was obtained during the adventures.

During that adventure, her dueling skills improved by leaps and bounds, and she also saw many strange decks. In her memory, the reliance of hero decks on normal summons was not enough to make duelists specifically add cards like summoning chains, which had some unclear meaning.

"Now I'm even more curious about what kind of hero you are."

"Hmm... just think of him as a stage hero..."

"Stage hero?"

Friend Xia was at a loss for words. He realized that his ability to lie through his teeth was less than a tenth of that guy's, and he had to end the conversation immediately.

"In short, I'll accept the victory in this duel!"

"I activate the Spell Card [Plastic Planet]! Add one Field Spell Card to my hand."

"Field? [Skyscraper]? Flame Wingman?" Tarin instantly connected her Train Cannon, which had exactly 3000 attack power on the field, with a hero combo she had seen before.

"No, heroes need a stage to fight, but today's stage is not a skyscraper."

Friend Hero activated the card he had retrieved, and the scene, which was already like a fairytale forest, was instantly adorned with countless flowers.

"Today's hero... is no ordinary hero."

"I activate the Field Spell Card 'Trickstar's Light Stage'. As part of the effect processing when this card is activated, you can add 1 'Trickstar' monster from your Deck to your hand."

The dazzling stage lights added even more color to this place that was already a stage, and cheerful music filled the ears of the audience, making them feel as if they were enjoying a concert.

Stage Heroes: The Mischievous Fairy is Here!

Ever since he was brutally beaten by Hubert's Mischievous Star Reincarnation with Bird when he was using a Hero deck, he has often been dragged by Hubert on a whim to use all sorts of strange and wonderful variants of Mischievous Star to beat him in different ways.

After all... it's not right for a hero to make a move on some cute, harmless little girl idols who like to sing and dance, right?

But he never imagined that one day he would be able to use this deck to bully others.

"I added [Mischievous Fairy Candina] to my hand and Normal Summoned her."

Wearing a yellow stage costume and carrying her little megaphone, Candina hopped and skipped onto the stage, giving off a very energetic vibe.

[Light ★★★★ Angel 1800 Attack Power]

"This is your hero?"

Not only Tallinn was puzzled, but the audience was also quite confused.

What's going on with this duel? A guy who looks like a Kamen Rider who's saving the world is summoning monsters that are actually cute girl idols.

A tall, seemingly gentle and mature woman wields a train cannon that exudes a ruthless and iron-blooded aura.

How long has this duel link been open? What have these duelists been through?

"Don't underestimate them just because they look cute; they are true heroes too!"

"Candina's effect can be activated when she is successfully summoned: Search your Deck for one Mischievous Fairy Card."

"I've added [Mischievous Fairy Star - Manjusaka Poem] to my hand card."

"Then comes the effect of Manjushri: reveal this card in your hand, target one Mischievous Fairy Monster you control other than the same name, Special Summon this card, and then return the targeted monster to your hand."

"I will Special Summon Manjushri in Attack Position!"

Manjushri, dressed in a red stage costume, gently descended from above the stage and exchanged hands with Candina.

Melodious music filled the air as the stage resounded, allowing the audience to enjoy the beauty of music and dance while watching the duel.

[Light ★★★ Angel · Attack Power 1600]

"Because of the effect of Manjushri, Candina has returned to my hand, so I summon her again!"

The little angel in the yellow dress reappeared, hopping and skipping, fighting alongside Manjushri.

"Candina's effect is not limited to once per turn, so when she is successfully summoned, I can search for another Manjushri!"

"Wait! Your summoning chain just now!" Tarin finally realized.

Without a search card once per turn, plus 3 normal summon opportunities, at this rate, it means that all three Manjushri cards will be pulled from the deck to the field.

Tarlin has already started thinking about what particularly powerful R3 Xyz Monsters, or Link 3 Monsters, are available.

"Just as you thought, Manjushri's special summon is also not limited to once per turn."

"Use the second Manjushri Special Summon in your hand to recall Candina, and then perform a third General Summon for Candina."

Having used up his three chances to summon, this time, Friend Hero did not continue searching for the third Manjushri Flower, because the third one was already in his hands from the beginning.

This time, he was going to search for an even more terrifying card.

"I've added the Trap Card 'Mischievous Fairy Carnation Reincarnation' to my hand!"

"The effect of the third Manjushri in my hand: reclaim Candina and recruit myself."

The three Zhang Manzhu Shihua stood neatly on the stage, twisting their bodies and dancing a meaningless dance at the same frequency.

At this point, Friend Hero still had 3 cards left in his hand, but Tarlin still couldn't figure out what Friend Hero was trying to do.

I just had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't really want to win this way..."

"You mean you've already got the victory in your grasp? You're going to finish me off this turn?" Tarin glared at her, somewhat displeased. The train cannon beside her wasn't so easily dealt with by three 3-star monsters!

"No, in the next round."

"I activate two Continuous Spell Cards from my hand!"

"The Nightmare Torture Chamber!"

"Cover a backcourt card, end the round."

Before Tarin could react, three cards were slapped down, and Tarin's Duel Disk emitted a notification sound reminding her to draw cards.

Despite having many questions in his mind, Tarin obediently drew his cards for this turn.

Then...

"Sorry, the game is over."

"The effect of Manjushri Flower is: as long as this card is in the Monster Zone, each time your opponent adds a card to their hand, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the number of cards added!"

"Additionally, this is a continuous field effect: each time a 'Mischievous Fairy' monster on your field inflicts damage to your opponent via battle or effect, inflict 200 damage to your opponent."

“You drew one card, while I have three Manjushri flowers.”

The stage lights instantly focused on Talin, and the three Manjushri also waved their sword-like instruments, turning the music into something more lethal and directing it towards Talin.

-200

-200

……

Tallinn LP: 8000 → 6800

A series of -200s appeared above Tallinn's head, and with each number that appeared, Tallinn felt a slight stinging sensation.

"Mmm...uh...ah!"

At first she could bear it, but after six stings in a row, she couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

But at this point, Friend Hero had already entered a ruthless card-playing mode and wouldn't pay attention to these meaningless things.

Hubert has been keeping a close eye on things!

"Gulp... If that's all, it's not enough to make me surrender!" Tarin endured the strange stinging sensation, stubbornly maintaining his composure that was not yet completely shattered.

"The effect of Nightmare Torture Chamber: Each time the opponent takes damage other than combat damage, this card deals 300 damage to the opponent."

"I have two cards on the field, and I just dealt you a total of six instances of damage."

"Chain attack, from C1 to C12, a total of 12 times, each dealing 300 points of damage."

A nightmare torture chamber filled with all sorts of instruments of torture quietly appeared and imprisoned Tallinn inside.

And because both torture chambers were in operation simultaneously, Tallinn would suffer double the "special treatment."

A torture chamber equipped with double the instruments of torture, a tall and beautiful woman with both heroic spirit and tenderness, the not-so-large room blocked everyone's view, and no one could see what was happening inside.

-300

-300

……

But as that gentleman once said, in some ways people's imaginations can leap so far that the occasional suppressed low screams that emanate from the nightmare torture chamber have sparked countless people's imaginations.

Tallinn LP: 6800 → 3200

"You..." Tarin, released from the torture chamber, was flushed. His clothes were still relatively intact, except that one button was missing from his collar. He had a hint of anger in his eyes, but after feeling the ruthless aura of a card player emanating from his friend Xia, he had nowhere to vent his anger.

This is just a duel, and in a duel, one should use every tactic to defeat the enemy.

Tallinn thought to himself.

"After you draw a card, during your Standby Phase, activate the Trap Card [Mischievous Fairy Carnation Reincarnation]! Banish all cards in your hand, and then you draw the same number of cards."

"Because you drew 4 cards, the effects of the Manjushri Flower, the stage lighting, and the torture chamber have been activated again."

It's another 3000 points of effect damage, and the stinging sensation of 800 points of damage is significantly higher than that of 200 points.

Tallinn LP: 3200 → 200

Furthermore, Tallinn was imprisoned in those two torture chambers.

A few seconds later.

Inside the torture chamber, low moans gradually rose.

A few seconds later, a long, resounding soprano voice came from inside.

Ah~~~~~~~~
