The protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world might be the same person.

Mai then continued, "Because a second Harpy monster has appeared on my field besides myself, its original ATK and DEF are doubled due to the additional effect of Harpy's Pet Dragon."

[Harpie's Pet Dragonling: Attack Power 1200→2400, 600→1200]

Immediately afterwards, she slammed another card onto the Duel Disk, "Then I summon [Harpist] in Attack Position!"

Beside the prophet appeared a harp-like woman holding a harp.

Harpist: Attack Power 1700

[Peacock Dance Hand Cards: 3 → 2]

"Activate her special effect the moment this monster appears!"

When this card is successfully Summoned, you can target 1 other Winged Beast monster you control and 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; return those monsters to their owners' hands.

Wu looked across at that moment, about to point her hand towards the horse-riding side.

"The monster I chose is..."

However, before she could finish speaking, the game interrupted her, "At this moment, I activate the monster effect of [Sacred Spirit - Sacred Burst Gale Bullet] from my hand!"

You can activate this effect when you control a Level 5 or higher Normal Monster, and your opponent activates a monster effect. If this card is Special Summoned from your hand, negate that effect.

In front of the game, a female elf wearing a green robe was projected.

【Holy Spirit - Holy Burst Gale Bullet: Defense 2000】

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3→2]

"Holy Elf..."

Wu was slightly lost in thought as she stared at the monster.

She had seen the card's predecessor in Duel Kingdom and during game duels, so it left a deep impression on her. (After all, she had been tricked before.)

At this moment, Mai didn't feel disappointed after being defeated; instead, she found the duel starting to get interesting.

"Well done! That's how games should be fun!"

She wasn't about to back down either, "But since my monster's effect is negated, [Harpie Prophet] won't return to my hand, so I can activate the third effect of [Harpie's Pet Baby Dragon]."

Once per turn, you can destroy 1 card on your opponent's field.

"The monster I'm going to destroy is, of course, [Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Rider]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the pet dragon opened its mouth and a burst of flame shot out.

Seeing this, Yu suddenly smirked and shouted, "You've been tricked, Wu!"

"This is the moment I've been waiting for. I'll sacrifice a card to activate the other special effect of [Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Rider]!"

When the effects of Spell/Trap/Monster cards that target the field are activated, you can discard 1 card from your hand to activate this effect. Negate that activation and destroy it.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2→1]

"What did you say!?"

Peacock Dance's pupils suddenly contracted.

Before she could react, he thrust out his spiral spear while riding his horse, the spiraling force instantly shattering the flames.

boom--!

The baby dragon was instantly pierced.

Chapter 169 Phoenix Formation

Seeing her monster defeated, Mai was not angry. Instead, she praised, "Beautiful, game!"

"They deliberately didn't use the effect of [Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Rider] to destroy [Harpist], just so I could activate the third effect of [Harpie's Pet Dragon] and thus bring about destruction."

"I really was tricked..."

Without the pet dragon, Wu's defenses have been breached, and the game can now launch attacks at any time.

This game developer is a real master of deception.

"But that's alright, I have more methods than just these..."

With that, Mai inserted a card into the Duel Disk. "I activate the Spell Card [Summon Storm] from my hand, paying 800 Life Points to Special Summon a Level 6 or lower WIND monster from my hand."

[Peacock Dance: LP4000→3200]

She plays the card she drew this turn, and "Special Summon [Harpie Perfumer] from my hand!"

As soon as the voice fell, a harpy woman with a pair of green wings, purple hair, and a colorful bottle in her hand was projected onto the screen.

Harpy Perfumer: Attack Power 1400

[Peacock Dance Hand Cards: 2 → 0]

Looking at the three of them opposite him, Yugi smiled and said, "They're really going all out, but because Mai activated another spell card, the attack power of [Super Magical Knight - Dark Magician Rider] has increased by 100 points again."

【Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Rider: Attack Power 3300 → 3400】

"I know that without you reminding me."

"Although the Harpie Women's attack power is relatively low, they have their own unique fighting methods. Let me show you how powerful the Harpie Women are."

Mai pointed at the newly appeared Perfumer and said, "The monster effect of [Harpie Perfumer] activates the moment it enters the field!"

This effect can only be activated if this card is Normal or Special Summoned. Add 1 Spell/Trap Card with the name of "Harpie Sisters" from your Deck to your hand. If you control a Level 5 or higher "Harpie" monster, the number of "Harpie Sisters" cards can be increased to a maximum of 2 (1 card with the same name).

"I have a Level 7 Harpy's Pet Dragon - Holy Flame on my field, so I added Harpy - Phoenix Formation and Enchantment Mirror Image to my hand from my deck."

[Peacock Dance Hand Cards: 0 → 2]

After receiving the two cards, she played one of them without hesitation, "Activate the spell card [Harpie - Phoenix Formation] from my hand!"

If you control a total of 3 or more "Harpie" or "Harpie Sisters" monsters, you can target as many of your opponent's monsters as possible. If the targeted monster is destroyed, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the highest ATK of the destroyed monster.

[Peacock Dance Hand Cards: 2 → 1]

【Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Rider: Attack Power 3400 → 3500】

"As long as the cards [Harpie Prophet], [Harpie Harpist], and [Harpie Perfumer] are on the field or in the graveyard, their card names are treated as [Harpie Lady]."

"So, get ready, game!"

The three harpy women then assumed a fighting stance, transforming into a phoenix engulfed in blue flames, poised to charge forward.

But don't forget that the game still has one card in hand.

He then threw the card into the graveyard, thinking, "It's useless. The effect of [Super Magical Knight - Dark Magical Rider] has no limit on the number of turns."

"Therefore, I discard a card and activate its effect once more to negate and destroy the effect of a spell!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 1→0]

"Nani!?"

boom!

Then, the rider thrust out his spiral spear again, shattering the fiery phoenix and turning it back into the original three harpy maidens.

After being repeatedly subjected to Kang's teachings, Kong Quewu calmed down a little.

She said with a grave expression, "The effect doesn't even have a chance to activate! What a powerful monster this is, and the summoning conditions are so simple..."

"Fortunately, the cost of activating it is the consumption of hand cards."

This made things a little easier for her.

In this way, if she wants to activate the effect of targeting an opponent, she has to pay attention to the number of cards in the opponent's hand.

Fortunately, the game is currently out of cards. To activate the effect multiple times, you need to draw a card to replenish your hand.

That's not so complicated. Ideally, we should use the effects to force him to discard his cards first.

Thinking of this, Mai continued, "During the turn that 【Harpie Lady - Phoenix Formation-】 is activated, you cannot Special Summon monsters from your Deck or Extra Deck, nor can you conduct the Battle Phase."

"Therefore, I will activate the Continuous Spell [Enchanting Two Mirrors] and end this turn."

[Peacock Dance Hand Cards: 1 → 0]

After the announcement, she reached into the graveyard again, "and during the end phase, with the effect activated by [Harpie Prophet] this turn, reclaim [Harpie Lady - Phoenix Formation -] from the graveyard."

[Peacock Dance Hand Cards: 0 → 1]

The card's return resulted in the attack power of the mounted character remaining essentially unchanged.

"Judging from Mai's expression, she doesn't seem worried about her monster being attacked. If I'm not mistaken, the card she set down at the beginning was probably [Mirror Screen].

"Ah."

Yugi nodded in agreement with Wang Yang's guess.

The game then draws a card from the deck.

"My turn! Draw a card!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 0→1]

Looking at the card in his hand, Yugi thought, "Let's test the waters first..."

So he directly inserted it into the Duel Disk, "Activate the Equip Spell [One-Hit Wand] from your hand, equip it to [Dark Magician], and increase its attack by 800 points."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 1→0]

A crescent-shaped magic wand was seen being held in the hand of the dark magician.

[Dark Magician: Attack power 2500 → 3300]

【Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Rider: Attack Power 3500 → 3600】

Then Yugi waved his arm and shouted, "Go! [Dark Magician], attack [Harpie's Pet Dragon - Holy Flame], Dark Magician!"

The dark magician raised both wands at the same time, and a black magical energy ball was summoned between the wands.

drink--!

The master and his companion swung their two wands together, launching the attack that was about to strike the pet dragon.

However, at that very moment, Mai immediately pressed the button to set the card face down, "Activate Trap Card, Continuous Trap [Mirror Wall]!"

"really!"

A mirror wall appeared in front of her monster, blocking its attack.

Chapter 170

boom--! !

As the attack struck the mirror wall, an explosion rang out, kicking up smoke and dust.

Once the smoke and dust cleared, the mirror wall appeared perfectly intact before our eyes.

At this moment, Mai Kongque spoke up, saying, "【Mirror Wall】can halve the attack power of the opponent's attacking monster."

[Dark Magician: Attack power 3300 → 1650]

【Muto Games: LP4000→3150】

Fortunately, Yugi and Yugi had already guessed this card. "Then at the moment the battle ends, I will use the effect of the Equip Spell [One-Hit Wand] to destroy myself and draw a card from my deck."

boom!

The crescent-shaped magic wand in the master's hand shattered instantly.

[Dark Magician: Attack power 1650 → 1250]

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 0→1]

Seeing this, Wu frowned slightly. "You're actually trying to further reduce your monster's attack power. What are you trying to do?"

Yugi stared at the card in his hand and suddenly said, "I already know what the face-down card for Dance is."

"Could it be!? You had the Dark Magician attack just to test my face-down card, Yugi?"

"Yes, so the Dark Magician's mission is complete..."

As he spoke, he played the card in his hand.

"Therefore, I activate the Spell Card 'Price of Horse Bones' from my hand, sending 'Dark Magician' (excluding Effect Monsters) to the Graveyard in exchange for drawing two cards from my Deck."

boom--!
