Duels should be played with a smile.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." The Snow Woman looked at Philvo with a hint of sympathy. She no longer had the intention to stir up trouble. She just patted Philvo on the shoulder and gave her an "I understand" look.

As a snow woman who is often forced to play the role of a punching bag, she knows this feeling all too well.

"That's it... You've already tried your best. It's just that this guy is inhuman." The Snow Woman comforted him in a low voice, but at this moment, she suddenly realized that Philvo, who was looking down, did not show any sign of frustration and still maintained his usual calm.

With a thought racing through her mind, the Snow Woman nodded thoughtfully.

“Leave the rest to me,” Ella chimed in at the opportune moment. “With your groundwork laid, I have enough to deal with him.”

"Hmm... I'll leave it to you." With a calm nod, Philvo placed the last two face-down cards in his back row.

"Gai Er, round over, it's your turn... As you said, I have no other means of defense. If you want to win, the next round will be your last chance."

Throughout the conversation, Philvo maintained a blank expression, preventing Leyou from gleaning any useful information.

However, their "internal communications" are quite lively.

'My acting skills are probably passable, right?'

"It should be alright, right? Your behavior has been quite different from before lately, and then suddenly you reverted to your old ways. That should still influence his judgment to some extent, shouldn't it?"

'Hard to say, this guy's heart is still too dark, his backcourt tactics are simply outrageous... But he probably doesn't know we're communicating internally, let's keep playing him... I feel there's a high probability he'll use that card.'

'Indeed... if that's his intention, then that card is the most suitable choice. However, with my massive Cosmic Cyclone, it won't be that easy for him... Anyway, Ella should still be more careful from now on; caution is advised.'

'Sigh, if only this guy weren't so stubborn at times like this.'

The internal chat continued, and the three of them, relying on their connections, bypassed Leyou and formed a united front, successfully keeping Leyou in the dark.

Unaware of all this, Leyou's attention was currently focused on Philvo's two face-down cards, plus the Snow Maiden's previous one... the value of these three face-down cards still needed to be respected.

"In your final phase, activate my face card [Hope for Survival]!"

"Pay 1000 LP, and for every 2000 LP difference between the two parties, take 1%!"

[Leyou LP: 2000 → 1000]

"The LP difference is 5000, so I draw 2. Is there a chain reaction?"

At this time, the only resource Philvo could use was the Snow Maiden card. After much deliberation, Philvo did not choose to make a move.

However, this also made Leyou slightly more vigilant—it seemed that they had a way to deal with the situation just now.

"Then I draw a card, and then the effect of [Void Space] on the field is that after I deal with the remaining cards on the field, they are sent to my graveyard, so Void Space self-destructs."

"Then, the effect of [King of the Prisons] in my hand: If a Set Trap Card is activated, this card can be Special Summoned from my hand! If it is Special Summoned in open state by this effect, I can also Set one Spell/Trap Card from my Deck!"

"Descend, King of Heavenly Prison!"

"Then... stamp this card!"

Philvo's turn is over, and now it's Ella's turn to accept, so... there's only one answer!

"I've covered the dimensional barrier!"

With the dimensional barrier clearly visible, Leyou has made its intentions obvious.

Throughout this series of actions, Philvo remained unresponsive, it was unclear whether the card's effect was failing or if he was waiting for a more suitable opportunity.

But none of that matters to Leyou.

"Then, it's my turn!"

"Draw a card!"

With the two cards I added earlier, I now have a total of four cards in my hand, one of which is the Resurrection of the Dead.

And... with the void space problem solved, things will be much more comfortable.

"Activate the Spell Card [Seven-Star Sword]: You can banish 1 Level 7 monster from your hand or face-up monsters on your field to activate this effect, and draw 2 cards from your Deck."

After the alien was used up, it was ruthlessly used by Leyou as material for gacha pulls. Leyou has always had a suitable way to deal with this kind of situation where both sides are stuck.

This is probably a basic habit of every capitalist, right?

I suggest hanging a street light.

This time, the 1v3 match wasn't as unregulated as the previous match against the aquatic trio. The most basic change was that, like in a typical doubles match, a player's turn was only active from the start of their own turn until the start of their teammate's turn. Players who weren't currently in control couldn't discard actions or make mistakes.

Otherwise, all three of them could just fill all the hand traps.

In other words, Philvo currently has no hand traps and only 3 face-down cards to deal with Joy—whether she uses them now or saves them for Ella is up to them to decide.

"There's no chain, hurry up and move, don't waste time," Philvo waved his hand, speaking with a hint of impatience.

"Row."

Nodding slightly, Leyou decided to unleash a torrent of fury on her own.

"I'll just unleash [Transformers: Telephone] directly!"

An ordinary 1-star monster with 100 attack and 100 defense appeared, instantly attracting the attention of others.

For no other reason than two things: first, this guy has the potential to be the root of all evil; second, this guy is an adjustment.

The crowd watching from outside all turned their attention to Inheritance Fiberglass, who was also watching the duel, making her feel uneasy.

"Why are you looking at me, you lunatic? Don't assume I'm the one just because one of the two monsters is an adjustment!"

"I've completely retired from this life!!!"

The duelists had different expressions, while the elves looked up at the sky—before you say that, could you put down your duel disk first?

When Philwell and his two companions saw the phone, their reactions varied, or perhaps it was something ingrained in the DNA of countless card players.

Shocking! A young man, unable to deploy his attack, accidentally killed his opponent while adjusting the water jet!

Well... that's pretty much their reaction.

"Relax, I'm not some terrible person, how could I possibly turn into a villain?"

"I just want to be in the same mood as everyone else~"

"Activate the effect of the Telephone skill. In Attack Position, once per turn, a Main Class monster can roll the dice once. You gain 100 LP equal to the number of monsters that appeared. After that, you can Special Summon 1 [Transformer] monster from your Graveyard with a Level equal to or less than the number of monsters that appeared."

"Because the Special Summon effect is 'after that', it can still be activated even if there are no monsters in the Graveyard that meet the conditions."

Under everyone's puzzled gazes, the phone tossed the dice high into the air—does anyone really use a phone for its healing effect?

"Don't make that face, I already said, my deck is really weird."

Leyou casually made a comment, then watched as the dice landed and showed a 5.

"Perfect, I calculated everything correctly."

[Leyou LP: 1000 → 1500]

"Use a 1-star adjustment phone to adjust the star of the 10-star Heavenly Prison King!"

"Descend! Endless lightning will bring everything to a close, severing heads! [Psychic Executioner]!"

Amidst the roar of thunder and lightning, the demonic executioner appeared amidst the swirling black mist. As soon as it appeared, a transparent protective shield enveloped it, shielding it from most of the interference.

"Hmm...you have a lot of cards, I need to help you clean them up."

With only two face-down cards left on the field, Leyou has every reason to say this.

"Activate Monster Resurrection and revive the Ladybug Tuning Lady in your graveyard!"

She blatantly snuck a monster from Philvo's target location, and Leyou even smiled smugly at her—but the next second, she felt something was off.

It's a bit strange that he's so great about his wife.

"By the way, although you can't activate Ladybug's effect, I can. Because I Special Summon Ladybug, I can search my Deck for one Level 3 or lower Cyberse monster based on its effect."

"I want to search for 【connect to Apple】."

Philo frowned, sensing that something was increasingly amiss with this duel.

Even though she was a little unsure, she still asked, "You... your deck is actually Schrödinger's deck, isn't it?"

"What are you saying? I don't understand at all!"

Leyou gave a rather exaggerated and perfunctory answer to Philvo's question, making him feel a little guilty.

Are women's intuitions really that accurate?

"I activate the effect of [Link Apple] in my hand. Reveal my hand, banish 1 random face-down card from my Extra Deck. If the banished card is a Link Monster, summon this card; otherwise, discard this card and draw 1 card."

A card flew out of the Extra Deck, and when Philvo looked at it, his face darkened again.

【Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight】

Thankfully, he was excluded... Just what exactly is the composition of this guy's deck?

"Ah, what a pity, is this what they mean by misfortunes never coming singly?" Leyou sighed again, then discarded the Apple device and pulled out a card.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a good product.

"Good luck today. I activated the powerful Greed Pot I just drew. Except for 10, I drew 2."

"Then you can activate the effect of the Executioner. Pay 1000 LP and target Ladybug on my field and the first face-down card on your field, banishing them together."

[Leyou LP: 1500 → 500]

I've been bothered by that GaiKa card for a long time. Leyou has come up with so many tricks just to get rid of it.

At the moment the "Happy Travel Declaration" was made, Philvo's expression turned rather unpleasant, and he immediately flipped over the card.

"When the Trap Card [Bewitchment] is activated, banish 1 Normal Trap Card from your Deck except for the one with the same name. Set the card with the same name from your Deck to your field. Cards set by this effect can also be activated during the same turn. After this card is activated, you can only activate 1 Trap Card until the end of the turn."

"What I'm excluding is... [The Weasel Outbreak]!"

--

Double update today, I'll post a separate chapter later to talk about the new chart.

It's my birthday tomorrow, I want to touch it all day.

Chapter 72, Easy Mode! Cleared!

"A weasel outbreak? How could you bring such a thing?!" Leyou was shocked and became extra wary of the composition of Philvo's other two face cards.

Philvo rolled his eyes at Leyou and said slowly, "Normally, I wouldn't bring one... but this is a righteous three against one! You're facing three decks!"

"Whether some cards work for me or not, as long as they are useful throughout the duel, that's enough!"
