Duels should be played with a smile.

The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is more than just a legend.

"You're in good spirits." K, who had been watching from the sidelines for a while, clapped his hands and "praised" me. "But have you forgotten that this is my battle phase?"

"This duel isn't a matter of life and death, but I hope you don't faint during it!"

"I'm not the kind of person who would cruelly destroy a flower..."

"Mocking Wind! Attack the Heterochromatic Melter!"

"This is a defense signal. You will indeed not be harmed in battle, but this time your monsters will be in danger!"

After the Radiant Dragon Star came the light of the Illusion Dragon Star. The starlight gathered again, and K adjusted his glasses, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The powerful Melter is good at defense, but this time he is facing an even more powerful Phantom Dragon.

As the light shifted, a wind arose, and a fog rose, enveloping both the Mockingwind and the Melter.

The moment she saw the Wind-Turning and the Melter begin their battle, the Snow Woman, who had been slightly unsteady on her feet, burst into a happy smile.

There were even some surprises.

"I didn't expect... you could fall for this? You have the nerve to talk about this level of skill, making me faint during a duel?"

"What do you mean?!" K's smile vanished instantly, and he asked with a frown.

"What I mean is... although each pendulum card is like a long essay, but..."

The snow woman paused, took a deep breath, and after the intense pain had gradually subsided, she smiled with great joy.

Extremely unrestrained.

Although it's not perfect, it's still a pleasant surprise...

"One of the great things about pendulum essays is that many people often overlook some of the effects of pendulum cards!"

When Yuki Onna specially recruited the Melter, she chose Defense Position, not because the Melter had higher defense, but because she wanted to see if a Defense Position Melter could make the opponent ignore some key information.

At this moment, a faint, alluring floral fragrance wafted around the Snow Woman.

Hidden within the fragrance of flowers is deadly poison—the Purple Poison Magician, wielding a long whip, laughs even more recklessly than the Snow Maiden.

"The Pendulum Effect of [Purple Poison Magician]! Once per turn, you can activate this effect before damage calculation when one of your Spellcaster-Type DARK monsters battles. That monster gains 1200 ATK until the end of the Damage Step."

The fragrance of flowers is mixed with poison gas, but as the manipulator, Purple Poison can naturally prevent allies from being contaminated by the toxins and allow them to only experience the fragrance of flowers.

[Meltdown Attack Power: 2000 → 3200]

"Your Dissolver is a table-guarding unit, and its attack power is... wait?! Damn it, I overlooked that!"

K remembered that the Magician's whole family loved to blow things up, and Purple Poison was the best at it, blowing himself up and then blowing up the other side. So at first, he ignored Snow Woman's Purple Poison.

However, he overlooked one thing: he didn't detonate the Purple Poison, because the Purple Poison could detonate itself.

A pie chart best describes K's expression at this moment.

One part annoyance, three parts anger, three parts shame, and three parts surprise.

"Looks like you remembered? After the Purple Poison's attack buff is activated, it can destroy itself," the Snow Woman added smugly.

"Now, Purple Poison, go and take down that enemy's Chaos Wind!"

Under the command of the Snow Maiden, Purple Poison swung his long whip forcefully, grinning maliciously, and walked towards Chaofeng.

Just now, he learned a lot about how to use the whip from the Snow Woman... Although he didn't know how the Snow Woman knew these things, they were perfect for dealing with enemies!

Shouldn't a weapon like a whip, with its many variations, be used to inflict pain on the enemy?

Chapter Eight: My Turn, Print the Card!

"The Purple Poison Magician's effect! Destroy Illusion Dragon Star!"

"And because the Phantom Dragon Star was destroyed, the battle ended, and my Fusionist survived."

Poisonous fog filled the air. The Illusionary Dragon was no match for the Fusion Dragon. The wind and clouds controlled by Chaofeng were also contaminated by the poison, which in turn eroded Chaofeng, ultimately causing him to die from the poison.

In that instant, a hint of displeasure flashed in K's eyes, but having changed his appearance, he seemed to have changed his mindset as well, and did not show much anger.

"This was my oversight... The properties of the pendulum can sometimes be easily overlooked."

"So... the pendulum is really a failed design. How about we make all pendulums discontinued this time?"

"Let me recall... I think her name is Silver Princess, right? Let's start with her after this duel is over."

Originally, K had a slight liking for the pendulum because of the memories that had just surfaced in his sea of ​​consciousness. However, after being messed with by Purple Poison, he now completely agrees with the views of the other consciousnesses in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Especially after seeing Purple Poison blow himself up and return to the Extra Deck instead of going to the Graveyard.

"After your purple poison destroyed my Chaos Beast, Chaos Beast's last words effect also activated."

"When this Synchro Summoned card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you can activate this effect and search your Deck for 1 Tuner."

"I want to search for [Knight of the Divine Tree].

Dragon Star has fallen, but the radiant traces it left behind will not disappear. Following the radiant traces of Chaofeng, the Holy Knights rush to the battlefield.

"The Divine Tree has appeared... It really is the Water Pendulum, isn't it?" A hint of apprehension flashed in the Snow Woman's eyes. To be honest, it's not easy for a magician to deal with the Water Pendulum.

The Water Deck is known as a deck that relies on shuffling, but its essence is a powerful combination of multiple single-card combos. Compared to the God Deck, which also uses the Water Machine Hundred-Headed Dragon combo, its biggest feature is that it draws relatively few completely useless cards. In many cases, it won't cause a hand card disaster because of one or two useless cards.

A bunch of small scrolls mixed together, unless they are truly perfect manuscripts, will at least be able to move a little.

And this kind of casual movement, combined with the librarian's card drawing, might just turn things around, or even beat the master with a flurry of punches.

This characteristic of having multiple starting points becomes especially formidable when entering the endgame.

Pendulum's endurance is also very strong, but the premise is that the pendulum is on the field. If Yuki Onna has no pendulum on the field and no cards in hand, it is not much different from suicide if she really wants to compete with the Water Hundred in the endgame.

"What does it matter if it's a water-based deck or not? As long as I can defeat you, that's enough."

K did not reveal his deck information. After a moment's thought, he once again declared his attack.

"Suanni, attack the Dark Dragon!"

Flames erupted, and an overwhelming inferno swept towards the dark dragon.

This time, there was no second Melter behind Dark Dragon.

As the raging flames engulfed the Dark Dragon's body, the Snow Woman also felt a surge of flames beneath her.

Fortunately, the 100 points of LP damage had little impact on the duelist, and the heat quickly dissipated.

[Yuki-onna LP: 7500 → 7400]

"Battle phase over, entering main phase two..."

Because of the presence of the Melter, K's plan encountered an unexpected situation. After thinking for a moment based on his current hand, K started to act again.

"You were lucky this round, but I won't give you any chance next time."

K exuded confidence beneath his red glasses.

"Reveal yourself! Great circuit of God!"

"The summoning condition is 2 Phantom Dragon monsters. I will use Suanni and Shining Dragon Star as materials to set the arrow!"

"Connect Summon! Connect 2! Dance gracefully, [Heavenly Dragon Fairy]!"

"

A gentle breeze and blazing flames flowed from the twin fans, and the dragon fairy, dressed in a long silk dress, surrounded by illusory dragons, turned the wind and fire into her dance partners.

"I have to admit that among all the elves, the monsters of the Phantom Dragon race are always the most mysterious and beautiful. If I had to choose a spark from this world that is destined to be destroyed, I might choose the Phantom Dragon," K said with a touch of emotion as he admired the dragon fairy's dance.

He himself was somewhat unsure whether his fondness for the Phantom Dragon was mixed with the longing and fear that the Phantom Dragon was the source of his current will.

"Don't be too happy yet... all you talk about is destruction, obsolescence, and extinction." The snow woman looked at K, whose arrogance emanated from his very bones, with disgust, and wanted to rush over and punch him right now.

"I'm really curious to see if you can maintain your composure after I defeat you... It's not very ladylike, but I really want to punch your glasses, shatter them, and let the lenses fall into your face, and then let me punch you a few more times to smash all those lenses into your brain!"

"Look at what's going on in your head!"

Ladylike demeanor? Are you kidding me? When has a snow woman ever had anything like that?

As expected, Yuki-onna's bold and unrestrained remarks provoked K. Of course, her overly dangerous words also slightly changed Aki and the others watching from the back.

It got better.

To deal with such evil things, we should strike hard!

"The power of words is nothing to fear."

Whether it was because he couldn't win the argument with the Snow Woman or for some other reason, K didn't refute her much, appearing somewhat deflated.

"In the world of duels, no matter how much is said, it is all decided by the duel."

"Dragon Fairy's effect: You can discard 1 card from your hand, then target 1 Mythical Dragon monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that monster."

“I discard the dragon of forgiveness in my hand and specially summon the dragon of harmony from the cemetery.”

The Dragon Fairy waved her folding fan, summoning the dragon energy contained within the earth's veins. Guided by the power of heaven, the dragon energy slowly transformed into a brand-new Datong Coiled Dragon.

"Then there's the effect of the Divine Tree in your hand: this card can be Special Summoned from your hand to your field in the Link Zone of a Link Monster."

[Water · 3★ · Warrior · Adjustment · Defense 1800]

A green-haired elf, wielding a longsword, strolled beneath the giant tree, slightly...

It looks like it's about to explode.jpg

A breeze swept by, ruffling her simple yet aesthetically pleasing equestrian attire.

If the breeze in the forest weren't blocked by the trees, it could turn into a strong wind or even a gale, and perhaps the forest would offer even more beautiful scenery.

She is an elf, a knight, and looks frail, but she excels in some aspects, making it hard not to make certain associations that those who know, know.

Not to mention her attire, which makes her look more like a priest or a clergyman than a knight who fights on the front lines, gets defeated, and then says things like "Goo, kill me."

Elves, clergy... I feel like the possibilities for association are becoming much richer.

"Now, I have a Level 3 Tuner monster and a Level 7 non-Tuner monster on my field. You should know what to do next, right?"

K raised an eyebrow, his smugness undisguised.

"Summoning! Descend a second time, Baroness of Flowers!"
