Duels should be played with a smile.

Chapter Fifteen: The Snow Woman is Playing Cards

Emerging from the fortune-telling shed of Zhai Wang, which was clearly a shady establishment, Le You sensed the faint call from the depths of his heart, took out his skateboard, and headed towards the direction from which the call came.

Wait, did we forget to return this skateboard?

Never mind, it's not important. It's more important to get to the place where the call came from as soon as possible.

The surfing prosecutor's skateboard is very useful; at least it's fast enough that even if it speeds past someone, they won't have time to yell at it for speeding before it's already gone.

With this incredible speed, Leyou felt himself getting closer and closer to the place where the call came from.

But that call grew weaker and weaker.

"You can hear me, I can hear you, but the Snow Woman can't. What clues do you have?"

"Perhaps... it's still a fragment of your rationality."

"I guessed so... but why did you come out now that the Snow Woman and Philvo are gone?"

As Leyou sped along on his skateboard, he felt a little short of breath.

It wasn't because he was moving too fast and couldn't breathe, but because he now had a pair of white arms in front of his neck and two large mountains behind his neck.

The pressure was simply too intense.

But it was actually kind of fun.

"It's because they're gone that I came out."

Ella's answer was somewhat unexpected, but upon reflection, it seemed understandable.

This appears to be the first time Ella has been alone with Leyou since she fully awakened.

Ever since they dealt with the previous world, the three of them have been staying in Leyou's crystals or decks. Only now has Ella had the chance to... steal a bite.

Although the timing doesn't seem quite right.

Even though it was just a brief moment of tenderness, Ella was still very happy.

"Mmm...this feeling is really good."

"I really, really like it."

Ella isn't as carefree as the Snow Maiden, who seems indifferent to everything and does whatever she wants. Sometimes, on a whim, she'll drag Leyou into a tense and exciting duel.

Unlike Philo, who is assertive and composed, always behaving naturally and elegantly, never losing his composure.

After awakening, Ella showed a richer range of emotions than before, but in Leyou's perception, she was not much different from before.

Just like before, it's like a faint but real flame, silently radiating its own light and heat.

Even though she may be easily overlooked, she will never be forgotten, because the warmth she brings is something that can truly be felt.

"You like it? Then I like it very much too."

The tightness was even more intense, and the wind was slightly cool as they sped along, but Leyou's heart was filled with warmth.

"That would be perfect. If you like it, I like it too."

At this point, although things were somewhat different, Leyou seemed to understand what speed and passion meant.

However, at this moment, it might be more appropriate to call it warmth.

Amidst this gentle warmth, Leyou and Ella traveled from the city to the outskirts, and then to a place that looked very strange, until a small hill appeared before them, at the top of which a black barrier was faintly visible.

"It's right there in there."

"Then let's go in."

After getting off Leyou, Ella materialized, wearing a duel disk on her arm that was somewhat similar in style to Leyou's, but in gold and red. They also had the same jade-colored crystal at their core.

How do we get in?

"so."

With two clicks, the dueling disk, which served as the duelist's "weapon," transformed into a real greatsword, with flames flowing along its blade.

Grabbing his greatsword, Leyou leaped forward and slashed directly at the dark barrier.

……

"Hey, why don't you just tell me the result of the divination? Why do you have to have a duel?"

Bringing along their light blue dueling discs, Yuki-onna and Saiou began their duel across a large table.

On one corner of the table, there was a covered tarot card, which, according to the King of the West, represented a corner of the Destiny of Joyful Journey.

[Roll Points: Yuki-onna 3 points, Sai-o 4 points]

Not having gotten the first move, Yuki-onna pursed her lips, drew out five cards, glanced at them, and then covered them up, waiting for Sai-o to make his move.

It probably means to express the idea of ​​quick action without pitfalls.

Even though you have one bonus card in your hand.

As a female duelist, it's perfectly reasonable for her to use some tricks!

According to Leyou's information, this Saiou uses the Mystic Power deck, which is a somewhat mystical deck. Therefore, the Snow Woman is using a deck with a variety of winning strategies to deal with various situations.

Commonly known as, "Whatever you draw, you get hit."

"I'll take the first move!"

Saiō was overjoyed to have the first move; his deck had a significant advantage when he went first!

But he didn't act immediately. Instead, he stared at the snow woman for a few moments and began to comment on her.

"Little girl, I don't like the way you look."

The Snow Woman frowned. She wasn't known for her good temper, and immediately retorted, "What do I care if you like me or not? I'm not here for you to see what I look like!"

"Look at you, looking so strange! If you zoom in on that tuft of white hair on your head, it looks like a mobile tombstone you've erected for yourself!"

"I think you'd be perfect as a Kamen Rider, a mobile grave, a mobile ancestral temple, and with you as a mobile tombstone, you'd be the perfect match!"

"Your hair is even longer than mine, it would be perfect for hanging yourself, wouldn't it?"

"You're dressed smartly, but you have a triangular face. I suppose your interpersonal relationships are as stable as a triangle?"

With her eloquent and unending monologue, Xue Nu left Zhai Wang speechless, feeling somewhat ashamed and withdrawn.

"Superficial! Ignorant!" After thinking for a long time, the King of the West uttered two words, but these two words had little effect on the Snow Woman.

"Your appearance, as white as the light of destruction, disgusts me. Today, I will devour your whiteness with darkness!"

After uttering a harsh remark, Saiou didn't give Yuki Onna a chance to retaliate and directly discarded a card from his hand into the graveyard.

"Due to the effect of the monster 'Evil King Ahriman' in your hand, discard this card from your hand to activate this effect, and search your Deck for one 'Dark World - Shadow Utopia-'!"

The Snow Woman was completely bewildered and even wanted to punch Leyou when he returned.

Where is the promised power of the mystic arts? What's going on with this dark world?

The multiplication scroll in her hand suddenly lost its appeal; the Snow Woman missed her kin, that broad-foreheaded, dog-eared loli.

"Hahahaha! I activate the Field Spell Card [Dark World - Shadowy Utopia-]! As long as this card is on the field, all face-up monsters on the field become DARK!"

Darkness spread, enveloping the two of them, and even the eerily white lights around them could not pierce through this darkness.

"So you hate white and like black, then why do you have so many incandescent light bulbs? Are you trying to disgust yourself?"

King Zhai didn't want to respond. He understood all too well that his verbal skills were no match for the girl before him.

"Normal Summon: [Demon Girl Lilith]!"

[Dark 3★ Demon 2000 Attack Power]

"Due to its effect, the original ATK of this normally summoned card becomes 1000."

It seems that because she descended directly in demon form, Lilith was somewhat restricted, and her attack power was halved.

But it's not a big problem; her true power remains unaffected.

"Cover a backcourt card, end the round."

One after the other, two cards in hand; Saiō's first move was very simple and unpretentious.

The simple and unadorned letter in the hands of the Snow Woman was completely useless.

Generally speaking, sending is more likely to stop a deck from making a burst of attacks than sending gray, but it's really useless against decks that don't move at all.

"Alright...it's my turn then, draw a card."

After checking the number of cards in their decks, I found that I had 54 cards left, while my opponent only had 34.

The snow woman smiled.

Generally speaking, this deck only plays according to the cards in hand, but there is a magical card that can make most of the deck's tactics work.

"I'm activating the Spell Card 'Neighborhood Lawn Mower' from my hand. Is there a reason?"

"What kind of card is that?"

"That's a card that could kill you!"

"The effect of 'Neighbor's Grass Cut' can only be activated when you have more cards in your deck than your opponent. Once your deck has the same number of cards as your opponent, send the cards from the top of your deck to the graveyard."

King Zhai shook his head, and at the same time, he was a little puzzled. He didn't understand how anyone could add such an uncontrollable card to their deck.

You mean the power of esoteric rituals? Isn't that the ability to get whatever you want?

Saiou had no chain, and the neighbor's grass cutting was successful. While making both sides have the same number of cards in their decks, it also instantly turned Yuki-onna's graveyard into 21 cards.

Then...

The first one, Lightning Storm...

The second one, The Hermit of Shiranui, is somewhat of a dud.

The third image shows the harpy's feather duster...

Snow Woman wondered if her luck had been stolen by Leyou, how could he cut grass so accurately?

The fourth image shows the world of immortality... The snow woman closes her eyes.

Not only that, but a whole series of good cards, such as Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, Named Annihilation x2, Red Reboot, Value-Added Destiny, and Foolish Burial, were wiped out by the mowing down of the grass, making Yuki-onna's heart almost stop.

Oh, I'm an undead, so it doesn't seem to matter whether my heart stops or not.
