Duels should be played with a smile.

Of course, this doesn't apply to snow women, whose main form is relatively weak.

"End of turn... Let's see how many cards you'll set this turn!"

“Then you’re overthinking it,” Philvo said with a soft laugh.

Just now, she quietly completed this round of card draws, and this time...

She finally drew a moving point—or rather, because she had two moving points, she could finally move.

"Normal Summon [Sword Master - Moye]! Activate its effect, reveal [Sword Master - Moye] in your hand!"

"I can finally move!"

That's right, just a second ago, Philo had 3 cards in his hand, 2 of which were Moye - the Xiangjian deck, at times, is really embarrassing!

---

This duel is based on a duel that took place on MD about two or three months ago... I guess it was called "Sword Fighting Iron Beast"... or something like that?

As for why it was two or three months ago... it's because I was so busy that I didn't log into MD for two or three months, which is equivalent to quitting the hobby.

Sure enough, the simplest and most direct way to quit Yu-Gi-Oh! is to write a fanfiction book.

Maybe I'll quit before I even finish writing it ( )

Chapter Fifty-Six: To be honest, it is true

"Moye's effect: Special Summon a Sword-of-the-Eyed Token to my field!"

The Swordsman deck is very subtle on many levels. It has a way of operating that is different from other Synchro decks, but it has not been explored in depth and has only been superficially explored, resulting in something that is neither here nor there.

The ability to operate resources certainly exists, but it's just that—an ability.

It has some blocking and interference capabilities, but not many. For our own use, it's only passable.

Multiple factors, including the fact that Xiangjian belonged to the Illusion Dragon Clan, led to a very strange result.

That is, if all the members of the Xiangjian family are gathered together, their combat strength is only so-so. However, when they are sent out on business trips, whether to work in Huanlongjun or to send the eldest brother of the family out to use his skills, the effect is significantly better than that of the main family.

All I can say is, ah, amazing, very amazing.

"Don't think you can just start so easily! Stop right there! I'm activating [G Proliferation]!"

Thanks to the fact that the Iron Beast's deployment doesn't consume too many hand cards, Rishina still had a sufficient number of cards in her hand at this time. When she saw that Philvo was about to deploy, she immediately intervened to stop him.

"Tch... throw your hand anywhere, I'll catch it!"

"You're going to eat me!"

Filvor remained unfazed. She calmly played her last card, one of the culprits behind her clogged hand. But... there are no useless cards in a duel, only cards that come at the wrong time.

"Activate Ash Blossom! Invalidate your G!"

"Tch...you're lucky."

Muttering something, Rishina could only watch as the woman with the wide forehead swept her G into the trash can.

"Don't say I'm lucky... If I were really lucky, I would have knocked you out in the second round!"

After giving Rishina a piece of her mind, Philvo continued her attack, and the two 4-star monsters on the field soared into the sky under her control.

"Use a LV4 Xiangjian derivative to adjust the star of a LV4 Moye!"

"Synchronization Summon! LV8! [Sword Master - Crimson Sky]!"

The standard opening move for the Swords of the Covenant, or rather, Philvor's awkward hand, left him with no other options.

"If this card is Synchro Summoned, you can activate the effect of Crimson Sky. Add 1 'Swordsman' card from your Deck to your hand or banish it."

"C2, Chain activate Moye's effect. This effect can only be activated if this card is sent to the Graveyard as Synchro Material. Draw 1 card from your Deck."

The unfolding of the swordplay scene is a standard model opera, with basically no changes and no major details to pay attention to. The only thing to be aware of is probably the selfie chain to prevent gray-hat retrieval.

In fact... Rishina's next move was exactly what Philvo had expected.

"Don't expect things to go so smoothly! Chain your Moye effect, activate Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring from your hand! Negate your draw!"

Ash Blossom, which just flew out of Philvo's hand, has already run to the opponent's side in the blink of an eye. This is the highest value card in terms of appearance rate!

"Don't mistake me for someone as brainless as you..." Philwo casually flipped over another card, her nonchalant demeanor clearly indicating that she had been waiting for a long time.

"Where there's Ash Blossom, there's Called the Grave. You can't be unaware of that, can you? Activate the face-down Quick-Play Spell Card [Called the Grave]!"

Without any surprise, a large, thick, long, and green finger emerged from the ground and pointed at Hui Liuli from afar. The broad-browed old woman fell straight down as if hypnotized, and was grabbed by the finger and dragged into the small dark room.

Ten thousand words are omitted here.

The opponent's Ash Blossom & Joyous Springs took effect, and her own Ash Blossom & Joyous Springs was targeted. Lishina's face darkened again. This feeling of being able to watch others have fun while she couldn't was incredibly frustrating.

"Alright, I'll continue."

"Moye effect, draw 1, then Chixiao effect, search for [Xiangjian Junshi - Longyuan]."

"Then, discard the Xiangjian card from your hand, another Moye, activate the effect of Longyuan, Special Summon Longyuan to your field, and then Special Summon another Xiangjian token."

After Moye Chixiao Longyuan and three consecutive Xiangjian cards, it was time to play the last Xiangjian card in the standard Xiangjian field – Xiangjian Friend, Flower Baroness.

However, the plan encountered a small unexpected turn of events.

"Have you counted how many times you've summoned it?"

Lishina leaned against the black and white speaker next to her and said in a mischievous tone.

Like a mischievous little devil who has successfully pulled off a prank, coupled with her natural beauty and playfulness, she brought the image of the little devil to life.

Although the question she asked was somewhat like a cardiac arrest for the card player.

"The instant you successfully Special Summon! I activate the effect of [Primal Life Form Nibiru] in my hand! Tribute all monsters on both players' fields!"

"Old woman! I'm going to give you a big treasure! You old women must all love this kind of big treasure!"

"Shut your mouth!"

The usually calm Philfer finally showed a hint of anger, not because of the meteorite thrown at him or the old woman he'd been assaulted by, but because...

"As a child, you can't speak so rudely."

Just like a parent educating a child, and in a perfectly legitimate way, Philwell exuded an air of authority at this moment.

Facing the imposing Philvo, Rishina acted like a rebellious teenager, head held high and looking down on everyone: "Who do you think you are! Stop being so smug! You should be thinking about how you'll handle my next attack after you eat the meteorite!"

“There’s no need for that!” Philvo tossed her hand, and her last face-down card was flipped over in front of Rissena.

"This round is enough for me to set up a formation that will defeat you!"

"Activate the face-down Quick-Play Spell Card [Called Name of Annihilation]! Declare Meteor to negate it!"

A sharp sword light flashed, and the meteorite falling from the sky was split in two before it even hit the ground.

"These are all my cards so far. Now do you understand why I skipped three turns?"

Philvo's hand perfectly illustrates the saying that there are no useless cards, only cards that are out of place. The overly coincidental arrangement prevented her from developing in the early stages, but it also allowed her to survive until the later stages, and provided comprehensive protection when she did develop.

The meteorite has been shattered, and judging from the current situation, the appearance of the Swordsman's Friend seems unstoppable... And considering that Philvo interrupted and stopped her in the previous rounds, the Flower Baroness seems to be an insurmountable obstacle for Rissena.

Lishina, who already had a somewhat childlike mentality, was starting to lose her composure. Whatever she played, the opponent countered, and all her plans were thwarted at crucial moments. Anyone would be affected by this.

When I went to stop my opponent, I found that the situation had reversed. Whatever the opponent did, I could counter it, but whatever I countered, the opponent would retaliate, and three times in a row!

Rishina is mentally devastated.

"I'm not playing anymore! I'm not playing anymore! I'm not playing anymore!!!"

"So annoying! So annoying!"

"What a trash game! I'm not playing with you anymore!"

For the first time, she displayed a personality befitting her petite frame, but this truly put Philvo in a difficult position.

Having lived for a long time, Fairwall has been receiving all sorts of complex information in the virtual world. She could easily say that she knows everything from astronomy to geography. However, she has really never seen a situation where her opponent throws a childish tantrum halfway through a duel.

Perhaps due to the nature of this world, everyone takes duels very seriously, and I've never seen Rishina act like this, throwing a tantrum.

Philvo was at a loss for what to do, so he tentatively asked, "Um... if you're not going to fight anymore, why don't you surrender first?"

She was indeed inexperienced in this situation, but she would never forget the destructive nature within this girl with the appearance of a little girl, nor would she forget how much destruction and panic this little devil had caused in the city of the Pendulum Arc by controlling EMem below the stage.

“I’m not stupid!” Rishina yelled. “This is a dark game! If I surrender, it’s over! I finally got this chance to be in this form…”

Rishina suddenly stopped mid-sentence, while Philvo, sitting opposite her, narrowed his eyes.

It seems... I've stumbled upon something interesting.

Before setting off, Leyou had compiled information on all the enemies they had encountered recently and given it to Philvo. After reviewing the information, Philvo discovered that there were some special connections between those enemies.

Clearly, Rishina is one of them, and judging from what she just inadvertently revealed, she seems to know more than her accomplices.

"You seem to know a lot of interesting things. If you tell me all of them, I might be able to change the terms of the Dark Duel..."

After careful consideration, Philvo made this decision, offering intelligence as a bargaining chip.

When appropriate, moral standards can be a little more flexible—the three of them always prioritize someone's interests above all else, and everything else... can be a necessary sacrifice.

Perhaps because of his previous lecturing attitude, Lishina was now particularly wary of Philvo. She subconsciously took two steps back, hid behind her two speakers, and peeked out: "Really? The way you were just now, it's hard for me to believe you."

"You think you have a choice?" Philvo shrugged, offering no further explanation, and simply stared at Rissena.

As she said, Rissena really didn't have much of a choice.

Either give in or send it; it's that simple.

Rishina was well aware of this, and after thinking for a long time, she finally nodded helplessly.

Even so, she still glared fiercely at Philvoy until both sides proposed to modify the terms of the dark duel and it officially took effect, at which point she slightly lowered her guard.

Then they surrendered at the speed of light.

The duel officially ended, and the previously agreed-upon conditions took effect immediately, with no possibility of reversal.

Philvo didn't bother to criticize Rishina's little scheme. More than those trivial matters, she was concerned about the secrets Rishina might possess.

Of course, the group of enthusiastic EMems in the audience gradually calmed down after Lishina surrendered. However, they probably had to lie there until their excessive enthusiasm was fully recovered.

Philwoke didn't have time to clean up the mess left by these disgraceful bastards.

Not long after Rishina surrendered, Ella, who had fought against thousands of Lords, and the four-person group of Youyouyouyou who had "dueled" Darkness also arrived. Obviously, they had all defeated their respective opponents.
