Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

The body that had fallen was gradually losing its life force.

"Is that all...?"

Melusin's lips drooped, looking somewhat dejected.

She waved her hand gently, and the swarm of snakes that had been waiting for a long time pounced on her.

"Wow—"

A flash of scythe light, and the snake swarm was completely severed, blood splattering everywhere.

"Don't touch him!"

Filina stood protectively beside [White]. Her inferior dinosaur genes surged, causing her expression to become twisted and ferocious. Her eyes turned blood red, like a savage beast, baring her sharp fangs and letting out low, hoarse roars from her throat and chest.

...

...

Even if I stay up all night, I still can't finish playing, but if I recharge, I might be able to keep going.

"Stand up!"

Chapter 125 The First Duel (14)

"Don't touch him!"

Filina's will was on the verge of spiraling out of control; her face was contorted and ferocious, and her furious roar reverberated through the space, causing the swarm of snakes to be repeatedly deterred.

Reptiles have a genetic awe of dinosaurs.

Melusin's smile faded, her pupils contracted slightly, and a glint of wariness flashed in her eyes.

Although still very immature.

But the human girl in front of me truly exudes the aura of a dinosaur queen.

"They're at their last gasp." Melusin looked at the poisonous roots that covered their bodies, her expression indifferent.

If we can't even withstand this little bit of poison, then humanity is still so weak and powerless.

“Filina…” [Bai] felt a familiar presence and struggled to open her eyes.

The poisonous gas blurred their vision, but their hearts remained connected.

"Stand up..."

He gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and frantically pounded his swollen thigh, trying to regain some feeling.

"Stand up!"

"The duel isn't over yet!"

Shouts echoed from all around.

[Bai] gritted his teeth, sweat dripping from his forehead, his hands supporting him on the ground, trembling violently as he slowly propped himself up, as if his body was being crushed by a thousand-pound weight.

"Uh--"

A mouthful of poisonous blood surged up his throat.

My shoulders felt numb and weak, and I was exhausted.

"Snapped!"

His frail body, which had been supporting him in mid-air, fell heavily to the ground, crashing into a pool of blood.

My eyelids felt incredibly heavy, the poisonous gas continued to fill my nostrils, and the world seemed to lose its sound, fading into the distance...

[White], shock, near death.

Rumors...

Before a person dies, their soul lingers in the world for five minutes.

In 1048, Luo Bai was leaning back in his chair, drifting into a light sleep.

The half-blank card that had merged into his body emitted a blinding light. His brows furrowed sharply, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. The purplish-black poisonous root spread from his chest to his limbs and head.

"Wow—"

The second [exchange of life and death] began abruptly.

Time limit: five minutes.

568 AD, the ruins of the reptile demon.

His fallen body slowly rose to his feet.

"Whoa—" The crowd erupted in a tremendous cheer.

The moonlight shone down, illuminating the man's pale face. He stood amidst the ruins and swarms of snakes, his gaze no longer lost or fearful. Philina, standing beside him, stared at this imposing figure, momentarily stunned.

"white?"

She was somewhat uncertain; the boy in front of her seemed both familiar and unfamiliar.

He seems like a completely different person.

Yet it seems like nothing has changed...

“Activate the effect of the Graveyard [Shimmering Stone].” Luo Bai said indifferently, “If a WATER monster on the field is destroyed by battle/effect, banish this card to activate this effect, and Special Summon 1 other WATER monster from your hand/Graveyard.”

Transparent! Aura Stone!

"Wake up!"

"【Ice Water Neon Stone Spirit】!"

Melusin revealed a hint of apprehension. For some reason, the human boy had become somewhat strange after standing up again. Just a brief moment of eye contact made her feel inexplicably afraid.

"Second Master," she said coldly.

"Cover two cards, end the round."

Forwards: [Melushin], [Lamia], [Koyatel], [Erkdna]

Backcourt: [The Viper's Resentment] +2

Hand: None

Blue Square LP: 5500

"My turn." Luo Bai looked around in confusion, his hands empty. "Can't I use the card?"

Five minutes is enough for a round!

"Draw a card!"

"Wow—"

【Xiangjian Auspicious Beast - Chun Jun】

Who is Li? (From a true love's perspective)

"Preparation, main point."

"Open the cover card, Perpetual Trap - [Cry of the Living Dead]."

"Special Summon [Sword Master - Moye]!"

"Moye..." Melusin had no information, hesitated for a moment, and then canceled the activation of the card.

The sword light pierced the darkness.

【Sword Master - Moye】makes a dazzling debut.

Moye!

"Moye's effect: Reveal the card [Chun Jun] in your hand and Special Summon one [Xiang Jian Token]."

“【Sword Derivative】?” Melusin frowned slightly. “Chain the 【Merusin】 effect to reduce 【Moye】's attack power to 0.”

Luo Bai remained unfazed and continued:

"If there is a monster other than an Effect Monster on the field, banish 'Heavenly Dragon - Pure Dragon' from the Graveyard and add 'Heavenly Dragon - True Knowledge Dragon' from the banished zone to your hand."

A pure and innocent dragon! (From the perspective of true love)

(“【Merusin】effect: Reduces 【Xuanyuan】attack power to 0.”)

"Return from another dimension!"

Add 【Innocent Dragon】to your hand.

"Normal Summon [Pure Dragon], then Tribute [Pure Dragon] to activate the effect of [Pure Jun] in your hand, Special Summon..."

Melusin was about to chain the [Merusin] effect to reduce the [Neon Stone Spirit]'s attack by 0 when she remembered that targeting the [Neon Stone Spirit] would trigger a monster pull, so she paused for a moment and canceled the chain.

He silently reminded himself not to easily choose the [Neon Stone Spirit] as his target.

At this moment, Luo Bai ran out of cards and had five monsters on the field.

"So, what do you want to do?" Melusin curled her lips into a playful smile.

She knew very well that, judging from his shocked expression earlier, this human boy in front of her definitely didn't understand [those summoning methods].

"Hmph↗↘" Luo Bai gave a wicked smile.

Everyone in the room shuddered, stunned and chilled.

Immy and Melusin stared intently at him, trying to find the source of the unease.

Luo Bai's eyes narrowed coldly, and he waved his hand, shouting, "I'll adjust the star rating of the level 4 [Xuanyuan] and the level 6 [Chunjun]!"

"What?!" Everyone was shocked, and Melusin's eyes widened even more as the astonishing sword energy she unleashed forced the entire swarm of snakes back.

"Supreme Sword Qi".

"Suppress evil spirits!"

"Synchronization Summon! Sword, come!"

"Level 10, [Grand Duke Xiangjian - Chengying]!"

Get ready to catch monsters!
