Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

You can activate this effect by sending 1 "Lira" monster from your Deck or Extra Deck to the Graveyard.

"This special effect will apply this round—"

"●Each time your opponent activates a chain effect of your 'Kissgill' monster or 'Lila' monster, activate this effect and draw 1 card!"

“This is a forced transaction!” Kisskill snapped her fingers, and the data stream in the void began to accelerate.

"As a price, I choose to send [Live Stream Twin Rila - Sweet] from my deck to the graveyard!"

However, just as Kissgill was about to complete the grave-building operation, Lucien on the opposite side pushed up his glasses, and a predator's cold glint flashed behind the lenses.

“Since it’s a ‘transaction,’ it’s natural that you can’t be the only one to enjoy the benefits.”

Lucien's voice remained elegant, but his movements were as swift as lightning.

"Then, chain the effects of your [Evil Twins Kiskiller - Trade]!"

"I activate the effect of [Time Stalker - Bezel Submarine] on the field!"

"You can activate this effect by Tributing this card and targeting 1 'Time Stalker' Xyz Monster you control."

"Select 1 card from your opponent's Graveyard, and overlay it as Xyz Material under the targeted monster! This effect can be activated during your opponent's turn!"

"What?!" Kisskill's expression changed slightly.

Suddenly, the deep-sea submarine beside Lucien emitted a piercing alarm, then abruptly disintegrated, transforming into countless mechanical tentacles that burrowed into the underground data abyss.

"I will liberate it!"

Lucien pointed precisely at the vortex of the graveyard behind Kiskill, his tone carrying an undeniable sense of predation:

"I've got my eye on that 'resource' in your graveyard—targeting the [Live☆Twins Kisskill] in your graveyard, activate this effect!"

"Come here! Use this as supermaterial for [Time Stalker - Perpetual Motion On-Chain Member]!"

Kissgeller was powerless to stop it and could only watch helplessly as the card she had just sent down as a linking material was forcibly dragged out by several mechanical tentacles.

The card, printed with a chibi version of himself, transformed into a streak of light, flew across half the battlefield, and finally obediently entered the body of the blonde girl on Lucien's field—[Time Stalker - Constant Motion Chain Operator]—becoming the fuel that drives her operation.

"What a despicable thief! He even steals things from the cemetery!"

Kisskill was so angry that she stomped her feet, and her pink wings bristled with fur.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Lucien gave a graceful slight bow. “For a phantom thief, this is called ‘borrowing’.”

Despite the loss of cemetery resources during the chain settlement, Kiskill's effect still persists.

"You're a damn phantom thief!"

Kissgill grimaced unhappily, and on the field, [Evil★Twin Kissgill·Trade] slashed with her light blade.

A blue stream of data light flew out of the deck and landed precisely deep in the graveyard.

"Don't get too cocky! If you run out of resources, just build more!"

Kiskill took a deep breath, composed herself, and pointed to the cemetery again:

"Then, let's handle the aftermath!"

"I'm activating the effect of the [Live Stream Twin Lila - Sweet] that was just sent to the graveyard!"

Chapter 241 Connection Summoning - The Soul-Suppressing Coffin of the Carving Demon!

"This card can only be activated if it is in your Graveyard and you control a 'Kissgeller' monster!"

"The Halloween party isn't over yet!"

"This card—Special Summon!"

"Trick or Treat!"

With a playful ghostly cry, the vortex in the cemetery opened again.

Amidst a burst of purple smoke and pumpkin lantern effects, Lila, dressed in a Halloween-limited costume, emerged from the ground.

She had a talisman stuck to her head, and although she was dressed as a demon, her indifferent expression combined with her cute movements gave her an eerie charm.

【Live Stream☆ Twin Lila - Sweet】【★2】

[Dark/Mage Race/Effect] [Attack: 500 / Defense: 0]

"However, this card, which is Special Summoned by this effect, is face-up in the Monster Zone, and since I am not a Fiend-Type monster, I cannot Special Summon it from the Extra Deck."

"Hmph, these restrictions don't matter at all! As long as I can defeat you, that's all that matters!"

The playful expression on Kiskill's face receded like the tide, replaced by an unprecedented coldness and seriousness.

"Since you enjoy stealing other people's things so much..."

She slowly raised her hand, and the previously restless flow of neon data around her seemed to be frozen by some ancient and heavy force.

"Then let me show you the power that only we elves can wield!"

Kissgeller swung her arm down abruptly, and pink wings of light exploded behind her, transforming into a flurry of data feathers:

"The revelry has ended, and the lament begins."

"Seale this sinful soul in eternal silence!"

"Appear, circuit leading to the future!"

As she chanted, the once magnificent cyberspace instantly dimmed, and a pitch-black connection circuit was forcibly torn open in the void.

"Arrow confirmed! Summoning condition is—one demon-type monster!"

"I will use the Link-1 [Evil Twins Kissgill - Trade] on the field as Link Material to perform a Link Summon!"

The demon girl in red let out a long, mocking yet poignant sigh. Her body disintegrated in the void, transforming into countless streams of dark light that precisely filled the bottom hole of the circuit.

"Circuit closed! Execute—eternal rest."

"Connection Summoning! Appear, [The Soul-Suppressing Coffin of the Carving Demon]!!"

"BOOM—!!!"

A dull, loud bang reverberated throughout the venue, as if the spine of the earth had been snapped.

In the center of the battlefield, the ground cracked violently, and a huge stone coffin, exuding an extremely ominous aura, emerged from the earth.

It was not made of earthly materials, but rather carved from pitch-black basalt from the underworld.

The surface of the sarcophagus was covered with twisted blasphemous marks and dense ancient engravings. The golden magma was not burning, but flowing slowly like blood in the cracks, emitting a suffocating sulfurous and intense heat.

Countless thick, barbed silver chains were tightly wrapped around the coffin, each chain seemingly engraved with the eternal cries of the victims, making a teeth-grinding friction sound in the air.

At the center of that heavy coffin lid was a huge, tightly closed demonic eye. Although it was never open, it radiated a sense of sorrow that could freeze the soul.

There was no light around the sarcophagus. Instead, it formed a gravitational field that distorted light, forcibly stripping away the originally bustling neon colors and turning them into a deathly gray.

It doesn't resemble a monster born for battle, but rather a heavy, black monument standing at the edge of the world, silently proclaiming the inevitability of slaughter.

【The Soul-Suppressing Coffin of the Carved Demon】

[Link-1] [Bottom] [Light/Demon/Link/Effect] [Attack Power: 600]

"This... isn't a Gemini series card?!"

Seeing the monster appear, a style completely different from before, not only was there a hint of surprise in Lucien's eyes, but even Andre Anfo, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but tighten his grip on the card, his knuckles turning slightly white.

"Is this... the power of the elves?"

Lucien muttered to himself. He quickly realized that this was not a simple borrowing.

The compatibility between elves and cards far surpasses that between humans; as long as the other party's permission is obtained, power from different dimensions can be used.

As is well known, the ancient covenant among elves generally does not reject the call of their companions!

Kisskill gave her no chance to breathe, coldly pointing to the stone coffin:

"Next, I activate the effect of [Engraver's Soul-Suppressing Coffin] on the field!"

"During your or your opponent's Main Phase, you can activate this effect by Tributing this card."

Special Summon 1 "Crest Demon" monster from your hand or Deck.

"Shatter, prison of the soul!"

As the command was given, the silver chains on the surface of the stone coffin shattered inch by inch, emitting a continuous series of crisp sounds.

The entire heavy coffin, under the onslaught of the crimson power erupting from within, instantly crumbled and collapsed like weathered sand.

Amidst the smoke and dust of destruction, an aura more sorrowful than death and more poignant than blood was quietly spreading.

"I release the [Demon's Soul-Suppressing Coffin] on the field!"

"Special Summon [Red Tears Demon: The Day of Tears] from your deck!"

As the smoke and dust dissipated, a blood-red mist of light condensed in the air.

A female demon dressed in an elaborate and gorgeous gothic dress slowly emerged from the light and mist.

Her pale skin, framed by strands of golden hair, had a cold, marble-like quality.

Beneath those calm eyes were two scarlet tear tracks that never dried, as if weeping for the impermanence of this world.

She floated barefoot in mid-air, her toes lightly touching the void, while the pair of huge bat wings behind her slowly flapped, scattering specks of red light.

[The Day the Demon of Red Tears Sheds His Tears] [★4]

[Light/Demon/Effect] [Attack: 1200 / Defense: 1200]

"Next, I activate the entry effect of [The Day the Crimson Tear Demon Weeps]!"

"If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can activate this effect. Send 1 'Crested Demon' card from your Deck to the Graveyard, except 'Red Tears Demon's Day of Tears'."

Kiskill's finger traced a chilling arc in the air:

"This is to forge an even stronger blade of vengeance!"

"I choose to send [The Demon-Imprinting Blacksmith] from my deck to the graveyard!"

As a card was precisely sent to the graveyard, the oppressive gothic atmosphere dissipated slightly.

Kisskill took a deep breath, drew cards from her deck, and switched back to her energetic self.
