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

【drop--】

A vibration came from his wrist, and Takeda Naruto was startled. It was an off-field contact from the rest area, but to make contact, he needed to press the [Pause] button once and think for a long time.

He hesitated for a moment and did not answer the call.

That's correct. The opponent has taken the initiative and hasn't set up the court yet. Pressing [Pause] now would only waste the only opportunity for a long deliberation. But the coach is so afraid.

"Is the [Crystal Machine] really that terrifying in the first-strike zone?"

As Takeda Naruku thought of this, his nerves, which had just relaxed, tensed up again.

"Activate the effect of [Amethyst Dragon]!" Nanyang Ling pondered for a moment and said, "Destroy itself, Special Summon from the Deck—"

"【Crystal Mechanism. Quantum White Crystal】".

Young version of the machine brother

The dragon assembled from purple crystals emitted a bright light and exploded itself. Within the light, the fragments reassembled into white crystals in the shape of humanoids.

"cover--"

Just as Nanyang Ling was about to cover the [Enemy Manipulator] on her hand, she suddenly remembered Luo Bai's instructions—"Don't cover the quick attack spell," and her declaration stopped abruptly.

"End of round."

He pursed his lips and changed the subject.

"Huh?!" The entire audience was greatly disappointed. Jules said, "Is this all there is to attacking first?"

How do I fight the Six Samurai?

Mito shrugged and laughed, "Without [Lemon Crystal Dragon], it's just the same as the Summoning Bomb, which has been adjusted."

"But not having a card is really bad, you're stuck with a bad hand, and you might get wiped out in one go."

"One [White Crystal] passed?" Takeda Naruko felt an inexplicable sense of unease.

Normally, he would have believed that the other person was stuck, probably scared by the previous [Yellow Crystal]. Now, he has to think about the deeper meaning behind every move Bian Yuelong makes.

"My turn, draw a card." Takeda Naruku looked at the newly drawn card.

【whirlwind】

In a tier 4 league that emphasizes versatility, this is a very cost-effective card, but unfortunately the opponent didn't have any face-down cards in this game.

"Preparation, main point."

After taking another look, Takeda Naruku pressed [Pause] and connected to Dairi and the off-site rest area.

I'd like to hear the coach's instructions.

"What's your hand?" Inoue Toshiki asked first after the connection was established.

"Unity, Whirlwind, Wind Demon, True Shadow, Demon Chain, Dual Blades," Takeda Naruko quickly reported.

Junichi Uesugi exclaimed in surprise, "The captain has a good hand."

The other team members echoed this sentiment, but Coach Inoue Toshiki's expression was very serious: "Not good, we don't have [Radiant Slash]."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the opponent [White Crystal] will Special Summon [Red Crystal Sparrow] from their hand to accelerate Synchro Summon [Matrix Amethyst] and switch to defense against [Purple Flame]."

"Once [Purple Flame] is switched to defense, [Dual Blade Style] cannot be activated."

"I originally thought that if you had [Radiant Slash], you could use [Radiant Slash] to force the effect of [White Crystal] at the battle level, and then use [Purple Flame] to synchronize with the main skill."

"Without [Radiant Slash], the attack power of [Wind Demon] and [True Shadow] is insufficient."

The old saying "old ginger is spicier" rings true; this analysis immediately put all the teammates on edge.

"How about we take a look at the [Unity] gacha pull?" Takeda Naruko suggested.

"Yeah, wouldn't it be great if we drew [Radiant Slash]!" The other team members were delighted and chimed in.

Toshiki Inoue shook his head and said, "If you draw a card with two counters for 'Unity,' even if you draw 'Radiant Slash,' you can still Special Summon it and have two monsters on the field after Synchro Summoning, but you still can't activate 'Dual Blade.'"

"If you draw a card using the [Unity] counter and don't get [Radiant Slash], you'll lose a card for nothing, and you might not even be able to Special Summon [True Shadow], and you won't be able to summon [Purple Flame]."

"The risk is too great."

Both options have shortcomings; either one wastes a [Dual Blade] card, or one card is missing from the [Purple Flame] card.

A bitter choice.

Everyone's faces were grim.

"The other side is too cunning!"

One of the team members, veins bulging, shouted angrily, "There's no Bushido spirit!"

After discussing for a while, Inoue Toshiki's deep old eyes flashed and he said, "[Unity] Let's draw two normally, drawing one is too risky."

"Bian Yuelong's finances do not support them in purchasing a [Lemon Crystal Dragon], and without the [Lemon Crystal Dragon], the [Crystal Mechanism] is nothing to worry about."

"Pay attention to the timing of the trap's activation."

"Alright, that's all. Let's go back."

After handing over his instructions, Takeda Naruku took a deep breath and returned to the dueling ring, feeling a significant increase in pressure.

The pause has ended.

"Activate the [Unity of the Six Samurai]." Takeda Naruku basically replicated his actions from the previous game.

"Summon [Wind Demon], Special Summon [True Shadow] from your hand."

He had never longed for [True Shadow]'s attack power to increase by 100 so that he could advance to the battle rank and force out the [White Crystal] effect, preventing [Purple Flame] from switching to defense, and allowing the core interference [Dual Blade Style] to be activated.

Unfortunately, fate had other plans. [True Shadow] had an attack power of 500, and [White Crystal] also had a defense power of 500.

"[Unity] Effect: Send this card to the Graveyard, draw 2!"

The Pitfall of Purgatory

Naraku's Trap Hole

"Pretty!"

Takeda Naruku was delighted, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Adjust the star rating of the level 1 [Wind Demon] and the level 4 [True Shadow]!"

Synchro Summon!

"Level 5, [True Six Samurai - Purple Flame]!"

"Advance to the combat rank!"

"【Purple Flame】Attack【White Crystal】!"

A purple sea of ​​fire engulfed the entire dueling arena, and a scimitar, gleaming with cold light, hurtled towards [Bai Jing]'s neck.

"At this very moment!" Nan Yangling's eyes flashed, and she shouted loudly, "Activate the [White Crystal] effect!"

"Special Summon 'The Witch of the Dark Forest' from my hand, next—"

"Adjusting the star level with the level 1 [Quantum White Crystal] and the level 4 [Witch of the Black Forest]!"

"Witness the true form of [Crystal Mechanism]!"

Synchro Summon!

"Level 5, [Crystal Mechanism. Matrix Amethyst]!"

Crystal intricacy. Matrix amethyst

"Click—click—"

Two chain sounds rang out.

"[Matrix Amethyst] effect: Change all Special Summoned monsters on your opponent's field to Defense Position."

"Chain Two!"

"【The Witch of the Black Forest】 has a graveyard effect; it searches for a monster with 1500 or less DEF."

Nanyang Ling flipped through the deck, picked out a card and displayed it to everyone, her voice deafening.

"I'm adding [Crystal Machine - Lemon Dragon] to my hand!"

The group of lemon crystals kept jumping up and exploding themselves.

Chapter 287 Fourth-Tier League - Ace

"I'm adding [Crystal Machine. Lemon Dragon] to my hand." Nanyang Ling sensed the atmosphere was a bit quiet.

He then showed the cards in his hand and repeated the process.

Tens of thousands of people in the audience looked around, whispering among themselves, seemingly discussing something.

"How could you have..." Takeda Naruku's eyes widened, and he almost blurted out, but he quickly stopped himself, not wanting to reveal his inner panic.

"Hahaha, Bian Yuelong is giving us a lot of surprises today!" Yu Le laughed. "He actually secretly prepared an ace up his sleeve. If he can take down the Six Samurai, he'll be unstoppable, one against three!"

“It’s over…” Mitu sighed.

"[Six Samurai] need to think of a way to survive the next round. If we get a Four-Cover, there's still hope."

"Even four-cover is difficult, the core interference [Dual Blade Style] cannot be activated, and [Purple Flame] only has 1400 defense power."

"Summoning a single [Crimson Sparrow] grants 1800 attack power; surely we can't have two [Demon Chains]?"

"As far as I know, besides the [Demon Chain], Takeda Naruku also enjoys various [Trap Holes]..."

The two commentators' expressions turned lewd, each giving off a "you know what I mean" look.

"Two cards in total," Takeda Narukō said in a deep voice. "Five cards covered, end of turn."

Five cards were played face down in the back row, and the atmosphere became extremely tense. The red side had used up all their cards.

The greatest deterrent effect – [Five Generations].

"My turn, draw a card!" Nanyang Ling looked to her right.
