Duels should be played with a smile.

However, behind this beautiful picture lies a scene of utter danger.

"You learn pretty quickly..."

"You made me bleed..."

The arrogant red lenses were shattered, and the frame was broken in the middle, clearly severed by a sharp blade.

If the attack had been less than fatal, the Snow Woman's blade might have advanced a few more centimeters.

The once-proper suit is now slightly tattered, but at least it still serves its original purpose, covering up what needs to be covered.

However, these tattered clothes could no longer allow K to maintain his aloof attitude.

[KLP: 8000 → 1200]

"I still have LP left, and I still have a few cards in my hand, but you only have one monster left... In this situation, you no longer have the ability to clear my last LP."

"When my turn comes... it will all be over..."

The Snow Woman placed the naginata behind her back, and the naginata turned back into ice and snow and disappeared. Returning to her normal posture, the Snow Woman was not disappointed because she could not end the battle directly. She just glanced at her opponent indifferently.

"I can't say for sure, but you'd better pray that your deck will live up to your expectations."

His personal intervention and proactive attack just now were not merely to vent his anger.

At the same time, it was also an opportunity to probe for intelligence.

As an elf, the Yuki-onna can sense the presence of other elves.

However, just at that moment, she did not sense any spirit presence around K or in his deck.

In other words... there is no concept of synergy between K and his deck.

He might be able to achieve a similar effect through some special means, but it's absolutely impossible for him to get a response from the deck.

K's next words confirmed this.

"Expectations for a deck? That's laughable. When have I ever needed something like that?"

K's face was full of disdain and arrogance. Even though he was dressed in rags and had lost his former elegance, he still maintained his original arrogant thoughts.

"All I need to do is make these products obey my commands!"

Before the Snow Woman's declaration round, which had nothing left to do, ended, K had already prepared to draw cards on his own.

"My turn, draw a card!"

A glint of light flashed and disappeared from K's fingertips.

A smug smile appeared on K's lips. He gently pinched the card between two fingers, preparing to flip it open. "Looks like even commodities have their own awareness..."

"Wait... what's this?!"

The smile vanished instantly.

Instead, there was ferocity and anger.

K, who originally intended to stylishly slam the card in his hand onto the Duel Disk, suppressed his anger and added that card to his hand. After some thought, he picked out another card.

It must be said that the effect of Super Dragon is indeed powerful enough. In this era where the graveyard is more useful than the deck, returning all the graveyard cards to the deck will have a huge impact on the operation of many decks.

"It seems I was right."

Upon seeing the change in K's expression from afar, the Snow Woman immediately began to mock him.

She used to be very good at being sarcastic... no, I should say she was good at stirring up other people's emotions, and now it's almost like she's in her element.

"If you're not a true duelist, don't try to pull some kind of flashy card draw. Look at you, you spent so much time preparing, and it looks like you still got a bad draw. Aren't you ashamed?"

"How come some people still can't draw the card they want at the crucial moment, when they're preparing for a desperate comeback?"

"No way, really?"

"Speaking of which, didn't you treat the cards as commodities? Commodities certainly don't have self-awareness, and they certainly can't respond to your calls, so I suggest you go back to your old profession."

"Forget about any flashy card draws. Just print out a targeted card in front of everyone, and we won't say you're being unfair or using underhanded tactics. After all, you already did it before the duel started. If you do it again now, we'll just think you're relapsing into old habits, and we won't get angry like you."

"How about it? My suggestion was pretty good, wasn't it? Come on, let's give everyone a live card printing demonstration. Even if you've already drawn a card, it won't matter. It's a capitalist's business, a card printing business, so how can you call it drawing a card?"

"So, come on, let's print out a card and take a look!"

He is eloquent and speaks fluently and fluently.

With a long, impassioned monologue, the Snow Woman, relying on her amazing lung capacity honed through training, didn't even break a sweat, leaving the already somewhat enraged K somewhat delirious. After the Snow Woman finished speaking, he was stunned for a long time before slowly regaining his senses.

He stared at the snow woman with a look full of apprehension.

Of course, it wasn't just K; the three spectators behind Yuki-onna were also dumbfounded.

They were all pondering a question at that moment—could this be the true nature of the Snow Woman?

After regaining his senses, K took several deep breaths to calm himself down. He stared intently at the Snow Woman for a while, seemingly lost in thought, before finally letting out a cold snort.

"Ha... quick-witted."

"But no matter what, it won't change the current situation."

"I have several cards in my hand, while you only have one monster. Right now, the advantage is on my side..."

Looking through my hand, I realize that due to the lack of synergy in my deck, I still can't make a move this turn... In that case, I'll just have to prepare for my next turn in advance.

"The spell card [Void Dragon Wheel] sends [Heavenly Dragon - Forgiveness Coiled Dragon] to the Graveyard according to its effect."

"Then, set a monster face-down, end your turn..."

"Then it's my turn!"

As if afraid that her opponent would back out, Yuki-onna preemptively announced the start of her turn before K could finish speaking.

At this point, which card you draw is no longer important...

However, when the Snow Maiden caught a glimpse of the card she had drawn—a Super Heaven New Dragon—she couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

Now, there's no way we can lose.

However... sometimes, different ways of winning can have very different effects and subsequent consequences.

Despite her inner turmoil, the Snow Maiden remained outwardly composed, offering no outward display of emotion. She simply sighed and shook her head slightly, as if expressing regret.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I told you before that you're a terrible card player and don't pay attention to details, but I didn't expect you really didn't want to win..."

At this crucial moment, the Snow Woman's feigned demeanor unsurprisingly made K somewhat suspicious. His expression changed several times within a few seconds, but he ultimately stopped himself from asking any questions.

The snow woman was slightly disappointed that she hadn't caught anything while fishing, but she still went along with her previous plan and made provocative remarks.

"If you had been this calm earlier, the outcome of this duel would have been uncertain... But now, I really have to thank you for doing me a huge favor!"

K's expression wavered again, and the Snow Woman immediately continued, "What were you thinking, helping me build a graveyard... Although I can win without you building a graveyard, I still want to use your things to help me achieve victory!"

"The effect of Ferocious Hunger Poison: Copy the effects and card names of monsters in your Graveyard!"

"Even if you copy the effects of the Heavenly Dragon, it won't work." K subtly wiped a bead of cold sweat from his forehead, forcing himself to maintain his remaining composure, and said calmly.

"That's right, copying is indeed useless, but the useful stuff is already in your hands the moment the copying is complete!"

"Moreover, I will claim the victory in this duel!"

"Here comes the knife!"

The ferocious and venomous creature transformed once more, taking the form of a Heavenly Dragon. The Snow Woman, who had already served as a dragon knight once before, summoned her naginata again, leaped into the air, and stood atop the dragon's body.

"Today, I'm going to kill you!"

"Advance! to! Battle! Rank!"

Just like the previous round, the transformed Ferocious Venom, carrying the Snow Woman, launched an attack on K. However, this time K had a face-down monster on the field, which might act as a shield to block Ferocious Venom's attack—that was K's plan.

The battle was about to begin, and the monster that was acting as a shield had to turn over. Upon seeing the monster, the Snow Woman smiled.

If you saw this monster at any other time, you would definitely feel disgusted.

But right now, the value-added G lying on the field has no deterrent effect whatsoever.

"This duel is now over!"

"The Ferocious Venom that has activated its copy effect will grant all my monsters on the field the effect of piercing defense for this turn!"

Ignoring the astonishment and ferocity on K's face, the Heavenly Dragon carrying the Snow Woman transformed back into earth vein energy, which, after merging with the venom of the Ferocious Hunger Poison, coiled around the naginata in the Snow Woman's hand.

A dark green hue clung to the icy blue blade, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, poised to strike.

The next second, there was a gust of wind.

The incredibly weak monster was cleanly and decisively cut in two.

However, the Snow Woman did not stop there; she chose to press her advantage.

She's no saint; she remembers clearly the losses she suffered in that duel.

The blade held all the power she could muster at that moment, so that she could unleash all the grievances she had suffered in this duel upon her opponent.

"You! You deserved it!"

The ice and snow brought a cold current, which gathered into a heart-chilling blizzard. Accompanied by a cold glint, K's body was swallowed up by the icy blue storm.

"I won this duel!"

The Snow Woman loudly proclaimed, her face full of joy—nothing could be more enjoyable than beating up Dog K, and if there was anything, it was that while beating up Dog K, she could also vent all the resentment in her heart!

After the blizzard lasted for several dozen seconds, it finally dissipated slowly, and what reappeared in front of everyone was an ice sculpture.

"Yay!" The Snow Woman jumped up happily, but then she quickly realized what had happened and pretended that nothing had happened. She covered her smile with her wide sleeves, revealing only her captivating eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She looked exactly like a demure young lady.

It was as if the guy who had just pulled out a weapon and started slashing people like a berserker had nothing to do with her.

With practiced ease, if Long Ke and the others hadn't just witnessed the Snow Woman's "fierce appearance," they might have actually believed that the Snow Woman was still the same "ordinary and weak woman" as before.

After the snow and ice melted, a plume of black mist rose from the edge of the dueling area and dissipated into the air. The Snow Woman seemed to sense this and took out her deck again, only to find that many of the cards inside had returned.

For example, those two Meteorites, and those two Cosmic Readers, but some general-purpose cards such as Fool's Burial and Dragon Temple seem to have disappeared forever.

After the card returned, the force that had been binding the Snow Woman and the others, preventing them from leaving, also disappeared. If it weren't for the ice sculpture in front of them, they might have been able to pretend nothing had happened.

"You, who do you think you are, deserve to be called a duelist?" The Snow Woman turned her head and glanced disdainfully at the ice sculpture, spat, and then returned to her usual appearance, clutching her chest as she walked towards Long Ke and the other two.

After all, it's a dark duel; it's impossible to say there's absolutely no damage.

Fortunately, at least we took this guy down... even though it was probably just a clone or something, at least we vented our anger.
