Duels should be played with a smile.

"You are indeed very skilled at using traps, but you may not be doing so well in other details."

With a somewhat confident assessment, Edward waved his hand and announced the start of the battle.

His story ends here.

Leyou, who was in the audience, was initially puzzled, but upon further reflection, he realized that it made perfect sense.

Destiny Heroes and Phantom Heroes, the terminal seems to be just so-so.

Therefore, the hero still lacks a self-disciplined spinning top!

This way, we can use other older brothers as terminals.

"Battle has begun! The first one is the Drill Man, proceed with Ariana!"

Drill Bro took the lead and volunteered to fight again. At first, Yuki-onna wondered why she should use a drill to fight first, and then she suddenly remembered that this not-so-common monster seemed to have a hidden effect.

"The Drillman has a piercing effect, and after the 1600 attack power Drillman defeats Ariana with 1100 defense power, it will reduce your LP to zero!"

It seemed that since it directly involved the outcome of the duel, Edward took the initiative to explain. At this moment, Yuki-onna, recalling the effect of the Drill Man, quickly turned over her face-down card.

"The effect of 【Labyrinth of Labyrinth Welcomes and Farewells】is that if you control a Fiend-Type monster, when either of your monsters declares an attack, you can target 1 card on the field to activate this effect. Negate that attack and destroy the targeted card! After that, you can set 1 Normal Trap Card other than 【Labyrinth of Labyrinth】from your hand or Deck to your field."

Attack invalidation and target card destruction are calculated separately, so Yuki-onna can directly choose to destroy another card.

And that's exactly what she did.

"I target your Anti-Utopia character on the field to activate this attack! Invalid Drillman Attack!"

With a series of crackling sounds, a large group of furniture from the Silver City rushed out and swarmed towards the drill man. After intercepting the drill man, they seemed to be drunk and started causing chaos everywhere. The first victim was naturally the Dystopian who had been chosen as the target.

"Don't think about it!"

Just before the Anti-Utopians were about to be defeated, Edward used a very crucial card he had in his hand.

"Quick-Play Spell Card [Instant Fusion]! Send the materials of a Fusion Monster from your field to the Graveyard to perform a Fusion Summon! The Fusion Summoned by this effect is destroyed during the End Phase."

"I'll fuse three [Hero] monsters using materials! I'll send the Enemy Utopia, the Demonic Man, and the Denial Man to the grave!"

"Trinity! This is the moment of fusion! With a strong body, defeat all enemies, and become a battle-hardened hero, one in a million!"

"Fusion Summon! [Phantom Heroes III: One Person]!"

[Dark 8★ Warrior 2500→5000]

"The turn in which the Fusion Summon is successful, its attack power becomes twice its original attack power, and the Fusion Summoned card can attack 3 times in the same battle phase, but it cannot attack directly."

The man stood tall and proud, his fists clapping together in the air, causing the air to tremble.

“Because the Anti-Utopians have disappeared, it won’t be destroyed.” Edward seemed to have the plan completely under control.

"But the attack was still ineffective." The Snow Woman was equally unyielding.

"In that case, let victory be handed over to a new hero!"

"Divine being! Target Ariana! Attack!"

"Divine being, attack!"

"At this moment, I activate the effect of Divine Man! When this card declares an attack, you can target a face-up Spell Card on your opponent's field! Destroy that card and inflict 500 damage to your opponent!"

"What I want to destroy is your Silver City!"

At this moment, Edward is in a state of F2A with his eyes closed.

Lacking information, he could only rely on his intuition to duel, a situation that could only be described as imprisonment.

On the surface, he had to appear confident of victory, but inwardly he was truly distressed. He had originally planned to use the instant fusion effect to achieve both the evasion and the elimination of the two targets, but now he was forced to activate it ahead of time, allowing the third person to enter the fray earlier than expected.

Moreover, after this series of exchanges, he is now completely confused about what the Snow Woman is thinking.

I am now in the position of the aggressor, but I feel that I am being restrained at every turn and can only be forced to let the divine beings attack and probe.

"Of course, I can't let you blow up my Silver Castle right now! If you do, my best friend will be homeless!"

"I activate the face-down Trap Card 'Trap Hole'! When a monster Special Summoned by your opponent this turn activates its effect, you can activate this effect! Negate that effect and destroy it!"

Silver Castle has good synergy with normal traps, and many of its effects require a monster to leave the field to trigger. Trap Hole is one of the few normal trap cards that can negate and destroy a monster, and this condition is not too difficult to trigger when used for defense.

The trapdoor of the worm suddenly appeared beneath the feet of the divine man, and the invincible hero fell once more.

And he was killed by a woman again.

Silver City remained unmoved, and one of the heroes had been sacrificed. Fortunately, only one trap remained.

"Indeed, I only have one trap left, but before that, I have two pieces of good news for you~"

The Snow Maiden's melodious voice rang out again, but Edward just wanted to plug his ears.

"The second effect of Silver Castle was triggered by Trap Hole, allowing me to Special Summon a Fiend monster from my hand or Graveyard."

"I will Special Summon Lilith, the Demon Girl from my Graveyard, while also drawing 2 cards due to the Twins' effect."

"And immediately activate Lilith's effect."

It hardened, and the fist hardened again!

"Lilith's effect is to free yourself to choose 3 normal traps to show you, and you choose one to place face down on my field."

The Snow Maiden selected three trap cards and showed them to everyone. At that moment, everyone felt a sense of empathy for Edward.

There is no other reason.

Three magic tubes.

What is this called?

That's like pointing a finger at your face and telling you—come and hit me!

Regarding the issue of the card not activating...

"Discard Mad Clock from your hand. Based on its effect, this turn I can activate 1 Normal Trap Card that was just set face-down."

"At the same time, because the monster was removed from the field by the effect of a normal trap card, the effects of Fire Furnace and Dragon Lantern in the Graveyard have been activated!"

"I'm taking back the dragon-shaped lantern from the cemetery..."

"Then, Fire Furnace, Attack Position, Special Summon."

The Fire-Blowing Furnace's attack power is zero.

The snow woman's provocation was written all over her face.

But at this moment, Edward couldn't do anything to the Snow Woman; he didn't even have the chance to test what her last face-down card was.

Since things have come to this, we have no choice but to take this gamble!

"31! Attack the Fire Furnace!"

A real man faces provocation head-on!

"The Farmer's Three Punches!"

The Snow Woman's magic tube may be powerful, but she probably didn't expect that she still held a last hope in her hands!

And that was the key to his victory!

With an attack power of 5000, the three-man character charged towards Labyrinth with his big fist. Ed gripped the card in his hand, ready to chain it when the Snow Woman's face-down card was activated.

As expected, the Snow Woman activated her card.

"When you declare an attack, this skill targets your Trinity, negates the attack of any monster, and inflicts damage equal to your attack power."

"Your attack power is 5000, but your LP is only 4000. You just attacked so confidently?"

“Of course!” Edward replied firmly. “A hero must not only be prepared to bear all of fate, but also have the courage to face everything!”

"Furthermore... as I said before, a hero must also have meticulous plans and the wisdom to match them!"

"Chain your Spell Cylinder, activate my Quick-Play Spell Card [Forbidden Lance], target all Trinity Forces on my field, reduce their ATK by 800 until the end of this turn, and be unaffected by the effects of other Spell/Trap Cards!"

Attack power was reduced to 4200, but in return, it gained strong resistance. The hero's weakness of being powerful but fragile was compensated for by the power outside the hero.

"Your magic cylinder cannot neutralize my Trinity Force, so my Trinity Force attack will continue!"

"Three men! Three punches from the farmer!"

The three were once again eager to attack. At this moment, Leyou, who was sitting in the audience, suddenly felt that this scene was... somewhat familiar, and had a sense of déjà vu.

"Guess how Edward will die?" he asked Ella, turning to her.

"Are you already certain that Edward has lost?"

"Otherwise what? If Yuki-onna were going to lose, she wouldn't be smiling so happily right now."

"That's true... Her emotions are always quite obvious, but I don't know what the Snow Woman's card is either."

"Guess? It's easy."

“I can’t guess.” Ella shook her head. “When I fought the Snow Woman, she didn’t have a chance to use any trap cards, so I really don’t know what trap cards she has.”

A few drops of sweat slid down Leyou's forehead. He wondered if something was wrong with Ella. Why could she always say such terrifying things with such a calm expression?

On the stage, Edward watched intently as his final hero's attack passed, bringing the duel to a close.

The result was the Snow Woman's card.

The next second, the Snow Woman's card was revealed.

The snow woman smiled very happily.

This was the first time she had used this card to scam someone.

Because this kind of card simply can't fool someone like Leyou who's an expert in all sorts of underhanded tricks.

Not to mention, Leyou itself likes to use these cards to scam people.

"Covered trap card, dimensional wall."

"You will bear the consequences of the combat injuries I sustained in this battle."

"You are a qualified duelist and a qualified professional player."

"But you are not necessarily a qualified hero."

"There are so many qualities that a hero needs to possess."
