Aspiring to become a magnetic field card player!

"Then... at the moment the battle damage is dealt, open the backfield and cover the cards!!"

"Usually, the effect of the [Wall of Power] is a trap—!"

It wasn't just Marufuji Ryo who was shocked. Everyone present looked at Ed with astonishment as he reached out to the deck area of her duel disk and picked up most of the deck.

Then, he casually threw the flames of evolution towards him.

"When I receive battle damage from a monster... For every card I send from the top of my deck to the Graveyard, I can reduce the battle damage by [100 points]!"

As Ed spoke, most of her card deck turned into a barrier under the reflection of the duel disk animation, successfully resisting the attack.

——In fact, the powerful card throwing of Ed just now was only a part of the projection effect. There would not be such a thing as "how cool he is when throwing the card, and how embarrassed he is when picking it up".

However, even with the animated effects, it is still very shocking when you see this scene with your own eyes.

“Pfft… Why is it 100 points—wow, animation effect!?”

For example, the scream of someone who just drank a sip of water and spit it out in fear came from the wandering spirit in the audience.

"You actually used this method to block the attack...!"

This thoughtful exclamation naturally came from Ryo Marufuji who was watching the card animations scattered all over the sky on the battlefield.

"Cyber Dragon's ATK is 2100, so the card I'm sending from my deck to the Graveyard is..."

He glanced at the 21 cards in his graveyard, which were filled with numerous [Phantom Hero] monsters.

Ed nodded in satisfaction and once again revealed a sneering expression.

"... Twenty-one!"

①: Still 4500 words, two chapters merged.

②: Something is definitely wrong...

The current bounty amount is 0 chapters for rewards and 2 chapters for blades.

Monthly ticket... Monthly ticket is fucking, 8 chapters.

I feel like I've been cheated... Isn't it said that at the end of the month everyone's monthly tickets will be less and won't matter much?

I'm currently ten chapters behind... Just in case I can't pay them off, I'll just update five chapters this Friday.

Volume 1: Chapter 40 There is really a second stage of the "Yin'er"

"Send all twenty-one cards from the top of my deck to the graveyard!"

At this moment, Marufuji Ryo was completely stunned after hearing Ed's declaration. The only thing he could do was to raise his head and look at the cards scattered all over the sky and turned into a wall of power, his eyes even a little dull.

Although in this era and in the duel environment they are in, sending the deck to the graveyard, and sending a large number of decks to the graveyard, is not considered a very powerful operation and does not bring much benefit.

But in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh, seeing this kind of effect of 20 or more pictures, I'm afraid no matter who it is, they will be shocked.

In fact, not to mention Marufuji Ryo, an ancient duelist - even You Ling in the audience, who had extensive experience in modern dueling, was so frightened that he nearly choked to death on the water.

Seeing this, the maid beside her hurriedly patted You Ling's back as if to comfort her - but this might alleviate the pain of choking on water, but it could not calm You Ling's inner throbbing at all.

"Cough cough... This, this is actually..." Even though the person who was choked was about to pass out, You Ling subconsciously doubled his voice due to shock. He struggled to open his eyes and looked at the duel arena below with an unbelievable look.

"Oh wow, it's actually animated, 100 damage stacked on a card... are you kidding!?"

Obviously, this scene shocked You Ling to the point of being terrified.

After all, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, You Ling would never have imagined that in his lifetime, he would actually see this famous anime scene of a card being thrown into the sky to resist damage.

It’s just that (seven) ⑵鏾冥 (four) 韭旗鏾事, in this world, the user of this famous scene directly swapped it with the original.

Marufuji Ryo, who was supposed to throw cards to show off like this after a long time in the plot, was directly replaced, and the whole famous scene was played by his opponent.

——Although, it was only after seeing it with his own eyes that You Ling realized that this thing was just an animation of the duel disk, just for the sake of being cool and impressive...

But no matter what, this thing is really cool, high-end, and even its strength is quite outrageous... At this moment, the big duel screen next to it showed Ed's full tomb, a total of 21 pictures, which made You Ling sweat.

Although this thing is inferior in overall strength as an attack pit; the tomb stacking effect is obviously not that strong in this world... But the same thing still applies, it's their fault for stacking enough!

As the saying goes, stacking five cards is a blind stack and the effect is not good; stacking ten cards is a small blind stack and the effect is average... What about 15 or 20 cards?

——This is not a blind stack, but it is equivalent to playing cards with your opponent with half a deck!

"According to the effect, the damage you caused me was reduced to zero, but as a price, my deck is almost empty..."

On the duel field, after confirming the types and quantities of the graveyard cards, a strange smile appeared on Ed's face.

"I've already firmly blocked your first attack... I want to see how strong your next three attacks will be."

As mentioned before, piling up graves is not considered a good thing in a duel in this world. Upon hearing Ed's provocative words, Marufuji Ryo's reaction was naturally a cold snort.

——So, he raised his right hand again,

"Humph, you're courting death..."

Sure enough, Liangliu Baju Wu Laliusi Lingwu, who was having a great time in the battle phase, just frowned slightly and did not intend to stop the offensive. He still wanted to implement his battle plan of "using the lower level of the electronic dragon to trample the opponent's backcourt."

"Then, as you wish—next, the direct attack of Cyber Dragon II—"

"Let me see how much damage your deck can block for you... Evolve Flame 2!"

Then, just like the previous attack, the same silver-white beam of light once again spewed out from the electronic dragon's mouth and rushed towards Ed.

In response to this, Ed's reaction was the same as before. He gently raised his head and looked directly at the silver-white beam of light without fear.

——But this time, even though the terrifying flames were right in front of him, Ed-chan didn't react at all.

——She didn't even blink...she just took the damage head on!

[Ed Phoenix: LP4000→1900]

The duel disk's projection system faithfully followed the duel situation, creating a certain impact force for the attack, and after a burst of explosion, it was difficult to see the smoke inside.

"What the hell! I never expected that after the first Evolution Flame was blocked by the Wall of Power, Marufuji Ryo's second attack... would actually let Ed pass?!"

When the scene is obscured by smoke and most of the audience can't see the specific situation on the field, it is the best time for the commentator to speak: "Now, the health advantage, just like the field advantage, is in Marufuji Ryo's hands!"

"And what's even more terrifying is that this is only the second attack. Now Marufuji Ryo has two Cyber Dragon monsters with 2100 attack points left on his field!"

"Could this be the end of this duel? Will the soon-to-be-crowned king, Ed Phoenix, be defeated in this final battle for the throne... No, wait!"

"Something seems off about where Contestant Ed is... W-What is that!?"

As the commentary was delivered with perfect rhythm, all the audience members turned their gazes towards Ed as if by reflex.

The first person to discover this clue was naturally his opponent, Ryo Marufuji, who was closest to him. For some reason, he seemed to be able to see that in the smoke where Ed Phoenix was, there seemed to be several shadows that seemed particularly thick at this moment.

As the smoke around Ed slowly dissipated, three extremely unnatural shadows appeared around her, and a closer look would even make people feel a little uneasy.

And then, what was heard was Ed's heroic voice, which was completely different from before, even the tone was slightly changed.

"So, if your Cyber Dragon attack gets through and I take combat damage—"

"I activate the effect of [Phantom Hero: Increment Man], a monster in the graveyard!"

"When I take damage from a battle effect, place this card from my grave in my Magic Trap Zone as a Continuous Trap!"

At this moment, along with Ed's words, the smoke around her finally dissipated completely...or rather, only at this time could people realize that the inky shadow beside him just now was not smoke at all.

But it's the so-called... phantom.

Moreover, this phantom—is not just one!

"It's not over yet, next is—C2!"

"It's also a monster in the Graveyard, the effect of [Phantom Hero: Glimmerman]! After I take damage, this guy will also be placed in my Magic Trap Zone as a Continuous Trap Card!"

At this point, the largest shadows around Ed had already been projected towards her magic trap area as instructed, revealing a slight human shape.

——But obviously, Ed-chan was not satisfied with this!

"And...C3!"

"The third monster in the graveyard is the effect of [Phantom Hero: Toxic Man]! It's also a Continuous Trap Card, placed face-up in my Magic Trap Zone!"

Hearing that this terrifying effect could actually be taken effect from a place like a cemetery, Marufuji Ryo was completely confused at this moment.

"How could this be... a graveyard effect!?"

At this moment, Marufuji Ryo could clearly feel that his heartbeat was much faster than when he was excited about the previous attack.

——But this time, this palpitation wasn't due to the excitement of having the upper hand, but rather his instinct as a duelist that from now on, the situation might be reversed again...

This is——the palpitation I feel when I think I might be the one losing power again!

Looking at Ed across from him, who was surrounded by a group of phantoms and whose expression was completely different from before, Marufuji Ryo seemed to hear some magnificent, solemn, and frightening music coming from afar.

For some reason, at this moment, he remembered some nonsense that You Ling had said casually when he was bored one day... Now, he seemed to hear You Ling whispering in his ear: Be careful, the boss has entered the second stage!

——If it was You Ling standing on the duel field, and using his system light screen to take a closer look, he would probably find that Ed Phoenix in the second stage would even have his title changed... a title like "Half-Step King" would just appear above his head.

"All Phantom Hero monsters have the effect of returning from the graveyard as shadows and lurking in magic and trap areas when the duelist is damaged by battle effects..."

Ed, who was on the opposite side and had entered the second stage, was even "kindly" introducing what was happening on the field at that time.

However, I don’t know whether this is said to the opponent, or to look down on the opponent, or just for the audience who don’t understand,.

"At the same time, during both teams' main phases, all Phantom Heroes will be transformed from their Magic Trap Zones into physical form and Special Summoned onto the field..."

Ed extended his right hand, slowly parting the shadows in front of him and pointing at Marufuji Ryo: "Very good, as the final opponent of me who is about to ascend the throne... Marufuji Ryo, I admit that you are qualified."

"But it's only just passable... Your strategy of attacking first, defending, and accumulating resources, waiting until the third round to finish off the opponent, is so easy to understand and so easy to see through!"

At that moment, Ed Phoenix, like a champion who had already secured victory and ascended to the throne, commented condescendingly on Marufuji Ryo's duel: "Your so-called Shadow Electric Flow, your resource accumulation and defensive counterattack tactics... for a professional duelist, these are the fundamentals of the fundamentals, the very essence of dueling that only small-time players wouldn't understand!"

"Last time, you, Da⑥VIII Jiuwuba Mio⑷Lengwugai, were just a small fry of this level, not even worthy of my remembering. And now, you may have become a bit more impressive... But with this level, you think you can snatch victory from me!?"

"Then let my [Phantom Hero] show you, this fellow, what it means to truly hoard resources and how to fully prepare for the next round of attack while defending..."

The meaning of Ed's words, which were full of energy, could not be more obvious.

When her next turn comes, she will immediately use the effect of the phantom heroes that fill the field to revive from the magic trap area, and with their own unique skills, she will make a comeback and defeat the opponent in one wave.

——The atmosphere of this duel was also right, and the duelists on both sides were quite cool, so that no one would say something like "What's the point of activating it only in the main stage? I'll kill you in this battle stage." The commentator's dead law.

So, when Marufuji Ryo was silent, Ed drew her second dark cover card from the magic trap area.

Its movements were slow, elegant, yet extremely powerful. After drawing the card, it displayed it to the opposite side with great momentum.

"I'm returning your previous words to you exactly as they were—you're...too naive!"

"I open the backfield cover card - Normal Trap Card: Dead Soul Fusion!"

"From your Graveyard, banish the Fusion Materials needed to Fusion Monsters, face-down... Then perform a Fusion Summon from the Graveyard once!"

"The fusion targets I chose are the Destiny Hero, Dystopian, and the Destiny Hero, Sprinter, both in the graveyard. The summoning conditions are a Destiny Hero Fusion Monster and a Destiny Hero Monster!"

Ed Phoenix opened her arms, and in the fusion vortex above her head, golden light representing twilight fell down - her third fusion monster in this duel had arrived.

"Let me show you exactly how to survive your opponent's turn and launch a complete counterattack in the next turn—what exactly is a perfect defensive counterattack?"

"This monster will be a nightmare fate that a cybernetic user like you will never be able to overcome..."

"Fusion Summon——[Destined Hero·Muto Ganger]!"
