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

"Boom boom boom!"

The shells exploded one after another.

[Divine Bow] ATK: 2400 → 750

[Necromancer] ATK: 2800 → 750

[Red Reaper] ATK: 2000 → 750

[User's] ATK: 1600 → 750

The final shell, carrying a cloud of poisonous mist, descended from the sky and struck [Dragon Blood Lord].

[Dragon Blood Duke] turned to look at Melonika behind him, a hint of worry appearing in his eyes.

Its attack power drops to 750, the attack will not bounce back, and the damage will be reflected back to Melonica.

"It's over," Luo Bai said indifferently.

Just then.

Melonica roared, "Chain activation, quick-attack magic—[Chinese Hot Pot]!"

"A Chinese hot pot?" Luo Bai was taken aback, caught off guard.

I was careless and didn't activate the effect during the injury assessment phase.

I thought it was a blow to my dignity, but I never expected that even now...

She hasn't given up yet.

"Release [Dragonblood Lord] and restore its base attack value." Melonica closed her eyes, clenched the last card in her hand, and trembled slightly.

Red team's basic score: 500 → 3300

"【The King of Death】..." she lowered her voice, suddenly clenched her fists, and burst into a powerful shout.

"Attack [Raging Tyrannosaurus Rex]!"

The Necromancer King brandished his necromancer staff and summoned a magic circle above the Raging Tyrannosaurus Rex, but the circle appeared dim and powerless.

"What are you thinking..." Luo Bai murmured to himself.

A monster with an attack power of 750 is going to collide with one with an attack power of 3000?

Melonica gritted her teeth, revealing her last card, her voice trembling: "Activate... [Vampire Heiress] effect, Special Summon this card."

Luo Bai seemed to understand something, and his pupils trembled violently.

The Undead King brandished his staff, and the raging Tyrannosaurus Rex fiercely attacked the magic circle, quickly creating several cracks. If the cannon fire could break through the magic circle, it would kill the Undead King and Melonica in one fell swoop.

The magic circle cracked little by little, and Melonica raised her eyes, which flashed with a sharp light: "Activate the effect of [Vampire Heiress]!"

[Qianjin] has an attack power of 600, and Luo Bai has a base score of 750. They will not be suppressed by [Raging Tyrannosaurus Rex].

"When your own Zombie monster battles an opponent's monster, pay a multiple of 100 of your Life Points, and that monster's ATK and DEF increase by the amount paid."

"I--"

"Pay 3,000 base points!"

"Snapped--"

A terrifying cloud of blood exploded on Melonica's body, taking away her memories and life force.

Red team's basic score: 3300 → 300

[Necromancer] ATK: 750 → 3750

"We...are over!"

Melonica gazed at Luo Bai from afar and let out a roar that pierced the soul.

The undead race's leadership power erupted completely, their majesty shaking the heavens.

Sensing Melonika's intent, the [Undead King] roared and slammed his staff heavily into the ground.

"Boom!"

The magic power of the death array above surged, and a terrifying pressure descended. The [Raging Tyrannosaurus] let out a mournful cry, its mechanical parts shattered, and it collapsed heavily.

Mechanical parts fell from the sky, and Luo Bai watched quietly, his heart filled with complex emotions.

His lips trembled slightly as he uttered cold, mechanical words: "The follow-up effect of [No Damage] is that combat damage becomes half of the base score."

Blue side's basic score: 750 → 375

If [Raging Tyrannosaurus Rex] is destroyed, Special Summon 1 Level 6 or lower [Thorapeptide] monster from your Graveyard.

Only one monster meets the conditions.

"Special Summon..."

"【Fearful Peptide Mad Dragon - Liang Long】".

Without the [Undying World], and being in the damage judgment stage, the [Necromancer King] cannot chain, and the [Divine Bow] can counter the damage judgment, but its attack power is only 750, which is 50 less.

"Activate the effect of [Lianglong]." Luo Bai slowly closed his eyes, his voice softly sighing.

"Send a [Dreadnought] card from your deck to the graveyard... inflict 500 damage to your opponent."

Melonica seemed to have anticipated this scene. Her eyes were red, she sniffed, gritted her teeth, and remained silent.

A mechanical tail sliced ​​through the void and pierced straight through her chest.

With a snap, my heart bled.

Red team's basic score: 300 → 0

The winner takes all.

[Blue Side]

[Duel Ended]

The AI ​​referee issued a cold announcement, bringing the duel between the two to a close.

Chapter 669 Top 4 (9)

The smoke gradually dissipated, leaving behind the lingering warmth of the duel.

Luo Bai stood in the center of the arena, slightly out of breath, the duel disk in his hand emitting a soft vibration.

"A beautiful duel." Melonica closed her eyes and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Luo Bai suddenly shouted, stopping her in her tracks.

Melonica opened her eyes, a hint of surprise and delight in them, and turned to ask, "What...?"

A magic card with a golden halo streaked through the air and flew towards her.

Melonica was startled, quickly catching the card. Her eyes widened suddenly, and her voice trembled slightly: "It really was with you..."

The card that flew in was the lost epic-level [True Blood Duke].

“There’s no reason to take back cards that have been sold.” Luo Bai turned his gaze away, not daring to speak loudly.

I felt inexplicably guilty, or rather, ashamed.

Melonica gripped the card tightly, looked up at Luo Bai and said, "You gave me the antidote, didn't you? What card do you need? I'll give it back to you."

Luo Bai felt uneasy hearing this: "It's not like I necessarily have to pay it back..."

He is not actually a petty person.

The high price of the card boxes is mainly intended to encourage customers to cherish the cards.

Why should I repay the favor of having an extra antidote made?

"Enough with the nonsense!" Melonica said, a hint of anger flashing across her face, which quickly turned into a calm, increasingly subtle expression. "I don't want to owe you anything."

"Alright then." Luo Bai sighed helplessly, "Then... if you have any extra [Lady] cards, you can give me one."

Before she could finish speaking, Melonica expressionlessly picked out a "Forever Lady" card from her Extra Deck, and with a flick of her finger, sent the card flying.

Luo Bai raised an eyebrow and took the card.

“Speaking of which…” Melonica smiled and said, as if she had just remembered something, “[True Blood Lord] seems to be available in installments.”

"Judging by the time... it's about time to pay the first installment."

Luo Bai was stunned, frozen in place, and frowned as he said, "Why is this person so stubborn?"

As a creditor, he doesn't want to collect the debt.

Why is she, who is in debt, thinking about paying it off all the time?

"Fine, fine, you pay me back then." Luo Bai gave up arguing with her and sighed helplessly.

As he spoke, he nodded slightly and quietly calculated, "One million, divided into ten installments, each installment being one hundred thousand... and a handling fee of 100%..."

Silent and stealthy, like a ghost.

Melonika came to his side, tiptoed, tilted her head back, and lightly kissed his cheek like a dragonfly skimming the water.

"This is the fee for the first installment," she said with a smile, turning back to her seat.

"Ah...ah?" Luo Bai froze, his mind going completely blank.

My mind, which was just focused on calculating the bill, is now completely in turmoil.

Before the idiot could react, Melonica turned around gracefully, waving as she ran and saying, "Goodbye."

"Hey—" Luo Bai realized he seemed to have been taken advantage of and shouted, "You're not going to renege on your debt for the remaining nine periods, are you?!"

"It depends on my mood," Melonica said in a drawn-out tone, her back to him, "I'm very poor."

Before long, she disappeared from Luo Bai's sight.

"What a tragic fate." Luo Bai let out a long breath, slowly calming his heartbeat, and stepped onto the elevator platform.

The lift made a rumble and slowly lifted him onto the platform.

The moment he arrived at the waiting room on the tenth floor, a familiar figure appeared before him.

It was that silver-haired girl in black robes.
