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

Level 8 pain sounds a bit scary, but the [Vampire] payout is 500-500, and the base payout doesn't have the impact of the card spirit, so it's not too scary.

“My turn,” Qiu Ren said in a low voice.

"Activate the Spell Card—[Master Deduction]!"

Name reasoning

"Your opponent declares any level from 1 to 12. Until a monster that can be Normal Summoned appears, flip cards from the top of your Deck. If that monster's Level is the same as the declared Level, send all flipped cards to the Graveyard. If not, Special Summon that monster, and send the remaining flipped cards to the Graveyard."

Melonica's heart sank, and she declared, "4."

If you don't know your opponent's deck, declaring a level 4 is the most reasonable approach.

[Famous Mystery] Let's Unravel:

Magic Card - [Square Wave]

Spell Card - [Square Magic]

Spell Card - [Golden Goblin]

Trap Card - [Card World God Union]

Monster Card - [Meteor Cube - Heavenly Dust]

[Heavenly Dust] is level 4. As Melonica declared, all of the above cards are sent to the graveyard.

It seems that [the famous deduction] has been replaced by a single empty-handed exchange.

Melonika, however, felt a vague unease.

“Except for the graveyard [Boundary Law] activated.” Qiu Ren said blankly.

Add the [Heavenly Dust] card from the graveyard to your hand.

"Summon [Meteorite Cube - Heavenly Dust], activate the effect of [Heavenly Dust], and send [Cube Karma] from the Deck to the Graveyard."

Meteorite Boundary Artifact - Heavenly Dust

"Activate the [Fang Jie Ye] card from the Graveyard, and add [Dark Fang Jie Shen Crimson Nova] from your Deck to your hand."

"Next—"

"Special Summon: [Fangjie Yinpijam], [Fangjie Super Beast Destroyer Gandhar], [Fangjie Reincarnation]—"

"Descend!"

The hoarse declaration fell, and alarming dark clouds filled the sky.

"【Crimson Nova, the Dark Cube Goddess】!"

Dark Cube World God Crimson Nova

The eerie mist, like the tentacles of death, tore the silence apart. A demon's growl echoed in the void, and red light erupted from its core, transforming into two scimitars.

A sinister laugh emanated from within, and the figure of [Crimson Nova] gradually took shape.

Upon seeing this strange sight, Melonica's pupils constricted slightly, and she took a deep breath and clenched her fists.

“Level 8 pain…” Luo Bai’s heart skipped a beat, and his gaze involuntarily turned to Melonika on the stage.

Qiu Ren said with a forced smile, "Place a card."

"End of round."

"At this very moment... activate the effect of [Crimson Nova]!"

"Hahaha--"

"Deal 3,000 damage to both sides!"

Chapter 296 The Reasons We Had to Win (1)

"【Crimson Nova】effect: Deals 3000 damage to both sides!"

"go to hell!"

"Hahaha--"

Qiu Ren let out a ferocious laugh, and the audience and commentators responded with a roar of excitement.

“Three thousand damage…” Melonica’s eyes widened, and she swallowed hard, her breathing becoming rapid.

"boom--"

【Crimson Nova】spun rapidly, whipping up a whirlwind. With a roar, it charged towards the two. As it flipped in mid-air, it released two sharp scythe-like beams of light from its hands, slashing towards them respectively.

"Snapped--"

"Snapped--"

Two flashes of light drew blood-red arcs, followed by two terrifying bolts of lightning.

Blue side LP: 4000 → 1000

Red team's LP: 4000 → 1000

"Hahaha!!!" Qiu Ren's blank eyes flashed with madness, his mouth full of bloody teeth, and his ferocious expression sent chills down people's spines.

"I've stopped! Hahaha..."

His face was covered with deep and shallow wounds, and blood slowly flowed down from the cuts, staining it a dark red.

After brainwashing, the nerves become somewhat paralyzed.

"Ugh..." Melonica vomited blood, clutching her chest tightly.

Wind blades and electric shocks grazed her body, leaving several bloody scratches on her exquisite black and white Lolita dress.

His body, like a candle flickering in the wind, swayed precariously.

"what--"

Just as she was about to fall, Melonica suddenly let out a roar, revealing the fangs that were the mark of a vampire, and her eyes flashed with an astonishing red light, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at her.

"Mere ants—"

"My turn, draw a card!"

Melonika unleashed a terrifying, queen-like killing intent, and Qiu Ren regained a bit of his survival instinct, taking a half-step back in terror.

"cough--"

She coughed up blood again, her expression constantly shifting.

Two opposing forces are vying for control of the body.

“Summon… [The Vampire's Spectre]…” Melonica began slowly.

This is her duel, and no one is allowed to interfere.

"Activate the effect of [Spectral], send [Family] from your hand to the Graveyard, search for [Shadow Vampire], and send [Familiar] from your Deck to the Graveyard."

"Activate the field spell - [Vampire Empire]".

"Next, the perpetual magic [Vampire Domain]..."

"Pay 500 base points..." Melonica said, her eyes tightly shut. "Activate the [Domain] effect, increasing the [Vampire] summon count by one this turn..."

Blue side LP: 1000 → 500

"Summon—[Shadow Vampire]!"

"This effect Special Summons [Duke of Vampires] from the Deck. When [Duke] is Special Summoned, declare a card of a certain type. Your opponent can send one card of the declared type from their Deck to the Graveyard."

"I declare... Monster Card."

Qiu Ren frowned and sent [Fang Jie Yin Pijam] from the deck to the graveyard.

“Activate the effect of [Vampire Empire]!” Melonica said. “When the opponent sends a card to the Graveyard, send one [Vampire] monster from your Deck to the Graveyard and destroy one card on the field.”

"Destruction—[Crimson Nova]!"

"Hehehe..." Qiu Ren sneered, "Open the card, [Disruption Medicine]!"

"Destroy [Crimson Nova], restore 3000 base points!"

A chilling wind swept through the Vampire Empire, and the moment it struck Crimson Nova, Crimson Nova's soul was drained, and she vanished on the spot, her life force surging into Qiu Ren's body.

Red team's LP: 1000 → 4000

Melonica frowned, then said, "The effect of [Vampire Empire] is resolved; send the second [Family] from the Deck to the Graveyard."

[Empire] The target of destruction has disappeared, but you still need to deal with the graves of your own side.

Just then, Qiu Ren said coldly, "Activate the effect of the Graveyard card [Square Realm God], banish this card to activate it, and Special Summon [Meteor Square Realm Artifact Heavenly Dust] from the Deck!"

"The monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot be destroyed this turn."

"Then activate the effect of [Heavenly Dust] to send [Fang Jie Ye] from the Deck to the Graveyard."

Melonica's expression turned cold, and she declared, "Advance to the combat rank!"

"【Vampire Duke, 2000/0】Attack 【Meteor Cube Artifact Heavenly Dust, 1600/1600】!"

"Activate the [Heavenly Dust] effect!" Qiu Ren smiled slightly. "The turn a monster is sent to your Graveyard, increase the ATK of monsters in your Graveyard by 200 times the number of monsters in your Graveyard!"

[Tianchen] ATK: 1600→2000

"go to hell!"

Both have an attack power of 2000, and it's another exchange.

Melonica's eyes flashed red, and she said in a deep voice, "With the [Vampire Empire] present, the attack power of undead monsters will increase by 500 points when calculating damage!"

[Duke] ATK: 2000→2500

"What..." Qiu Ren's eyes slowly widened.

"Disappear!" Melonika said coldly.

As a crimson moon descended, the Duke suddenly unfurled his cloak, and countless bats swarmed forward, tearing Tianchen to shreds.

"Snapped--"

A slight arcing.
