Let's play cards! In a different world of swords and magic

"Struggling to the end will only lead to defeat. Being unwilling to admit the gap is also a sign of weakness, Xiao Ai."

"You're right, Rin-chan. After all, I've lost to you in every duel since we were little, and I even didn't have the courage to duel with you after that. No one would be weaker than me."

After getting the equipment, Aisha Carlos admitted his weakness at the last moment, but his behavior showed no sign of backing down.

"But, riding on this beam of hope, even my weakness will become an opportunity to change the outcome of defeat! - Equip the magic card to activate [Sword of Brittle Blade]!"

The equipment magic card that perfectly fits Aisha's positioning of herself descended into the hands of Hope, the King of Hope, in glory. The shining glass sword looked so fragile that it would shatter with a single blow.

But at the same time, it is stronger than any other equipment.

[Equipment Magic Card Effect of Brittle Sword: Increase the attack power of the equipped monster by 2000.]

Yi Lin was shocked: "An equipment magic card that increases attack power by 2000 points? Is this fragile?!"

[Hope King Hope ATK: 2500 → 4500]

The attack power instantly rivaled that of the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon's Warrior of Light. Hope Emperor Hope swung his sword and reached the limit of what Aisha could achieve in this duel.

With 4500 attack points, it surpasses the Evil Blade Death Demon with 3400 attack points. The gap between the two is 1100 points.

Yilin's remaining health points are also 1100 points.

An ultimate blow, without any error.

In this duel, from the beginning to now, every fight between Aisha Carlos and Aisha Carlos seemed to be an effort to reach this ending.

Including Youyou's full-strength punch that sent Yilin flying.

"Swing your sword, Hope King Hope——『Hope Sword Crisp Blade Slash!!』"

"The end of an all-out fight? You even calculated my remaining health points exactly... Xiao Ai, I admit that you are much stronger than before."

The heterochromatic eyes shone in the light of hope, reflecting a complex expression that Yilin had never had before.

"If I could, being cut down by the Sword of Hope would be a good ending. But I can't do that now. I must respond to my best friend's full-strength attack with all my strength!"

The last covered card was revealed, and the flames turned into an unyielding fighting spirit, wrapping around the dark hero's blade body.

"——Trap Card activates [Burning Fighting Spirit]!"

[Burning Spirit Trap Card Effect: After activation, this card becomes an Equip Card, and equips 1 face-up monster on your field. If a monster with higher ATK than the original monster exists on your opponent's field, the equipped monster's ATK becomes twice its original ATK during the Damage Step.]

"I equipped the [Burning Fighting Spirit], which had become an equipment card, on [Evil Heart Hero - Evil Blade Devil]. Due to the existence of Hope King Hope, whose attack power is 4500 points, the attack power of Evil Blade Devil has doubled to 2 points!"

[Evil Hero Evil Blade Death Demon ATK: 3400 → 6000]

After the improvement, the attack power gap was widened again. The evil-hearted hero with burning fighting spirit opened Pandora's box, and Yilin's strongest strength was fully demonstrated.

"Fight back, Evil Blade Death Demon! Win this duel for me! - 'Death Blade Explosion!!'"

At ultra-high speed, the hopeful yet fragile glass blade and the evil yet sharp black blade collided and converged at one point.

"You can't win this duel, Rin-chan. Because I... won't lose!"

"Not losing? How is that possible?"

Click——!

Before he finished speaking, the brittle sword in the hands of Hope Emperor began to shatter from the tip after the collision.

"Rin-chan, you are really strong. When I swung this sword, I never thought about winning this duel."

"Then why?"

"Just because I can't win this duel doesn't mean I will lose it!"

It completely shattered and cracked. The bright glass that was still made into a sword in the previous second instantly turned into sparkling transparent fragments, floating all over the place.

"——Equip the effect of the magic card [Fragile Sword]!"

[The attack power of the equipped monster increases by 2000, and the battle damage incurred in the battle of the equipped monster is borne by both players. ]

The terrifying increase in attack power by 2000 points was replaced by the side effect of both sides suffering combat damage at the same time.

However, in this duel, this round, and this moment of confrontation, the side effects of the Sword of Fragility became Aisha's last trump card against the evil hero.

"I told you, I'm going to use this duel to wake you up! I hope that King Hope's battle damage will be 1500 points! Let's share the responsibility...with my best friend!"

The starlight that turned into glass fragments exploded instantly, reflecting the girl's originally fragile state of mind at this moment, but it was brighter and warmer than any other light, shining into Yilin's corroded dark heart.

“——『Hope Sword Reversal Slash!!』——”

The blow that pierced through the darkness connected Aisha and Yilin, and planted the seed of hope in the girl's heart.

Yilin LP: 1100 → 0

Aisha LP: 300 → 0

"cold--!"

Under the fragile light that ended the duel, Aisha rushed towards Yilin, who was still in a daze, and knocked her down with the weight of her body.

"Be normal, Rin-chan. My best friend is not the evil person who will do anything to achieve his desires. Remember and become the righteous hero who keeps getting stronger to protect the important people!"

"Xiao Ai?"

Feeling the girl pressing on his body, Yilin's heterochromatic eyes gradually dimmed, and the darkness of desire in his heart was temporarily suppressed by reason and gradually dissipated.

"I know, Xiao Ai. It was my fault..."

"Forgive me, Rin-chan. This is what is necessary to get you back to normal."

"Hey, wait? Xiao Ai?"

Snapped--!

Before Yilin could finish his words, Aixia, who was riding on Yilin, slapped Yilin on the cheek.

"(°Д°) This is the Friendship Face-Breaking Fist!"

Snapped--!

"(°Д°) For the sake of my best friend's sobriety, let me bear this guilt and pain!"

Snapped--!

"Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai, I'm really awake, stop hitting me."

After being slapped three times in a row, Yilin, who originally still had some desire left, is now completely sober and his eye color has completely recovered.

"Tsk, boring! I want to see a river of blood!" Luca, who was watching the battle from a distance, stood up and smacked her lips in dissatisfaction, "A super amount of hope awakened in the dark fog, Aisha Carlos, what's wrong with this guy?"

Chapter 194: I just love you hopelessly!

"What is this Emperor of Hope? It's so boring! You are a student of the Holy Talisman Academy, and you are using a super summon!"

With no place to vent her anger, Luca had no choice but to vent her anger hard on the unconscious Megan's butt.

Although she really wanted to go directly to Aixia to settle the account, the time was not right yet.

Now that I am on the field, with the opposing hero and Emperor of Hope both present, it would be very easy to give up.

Now that the barrier of the Millennium Ritual has been set up, we only need to act according to the plan in this thick fog. The fall of the capital of Livolden is only a matter of time.

After all, not everyone in this thick fog is Aisha Carlos.

The darkness in the hearts caused by the barrier will eventually become food for the three phantom demons, and none of the duelists in the royal capital will be able to escape.

"Then it's time to continue my work. The palace should be almost ready. I remember the third princess was a pretty cute little girl?"

When the word cute was mentioned, Luca felt a sudden pain in the scar at the corner of her eye that connected to her cheek, and her eyes instantly sank.

"I'll use the cute little princess's miserable and desperate crying face to heal my anger that I have nowhere to vent! It's really exciting~"

Leaving Megan staggering away from the scene, the moody Lucaslint was indignant one second and happily humming a cheerful nursery rhyme the next.

at the same time--

"(°Д°)Forgive me, Rin-chan!!"

Pa~~

"stop fighting!"

Yilin, who was being ridden on, finally had the chance to grab Aixia's wrist and stop her actions.

The price I paid was being slapped four times in the face.

"No, this is the iron fist of love sent down for my best friend."

"I said I'm sober now! Xiao Ai, you're not deliberately taking revenge on me? Using this excuse?"

Yilin suddenly reacted, "Are you mad at me now because of You Ling!?"

"Σ(?д?lll) UGG!"

Aixia looked away in a moment of guilt. It was impossible to say that she had no selfish motives. But how could she admit such a thing?

"How could I do such a thing? I am the number 39 who represents hope! How can you, Rin-chan, be an evil hero?"

Speaking of evil heroes, after Yilin was slapped back to normal, the evil hero cards scattered on the ground did not disappear.

Pandora's box, which was once opened, seems to have no reason to be closed again.

Because regardless of whether she has recovered or not, Yilin's desires have already been fully exposed.

By the time Yilin realized what had happened, her cheeks had completely turned red to her ears.

——I think I confessed?

("I can give you all the cards, so be my hero, Yu Ling!")

"Why would I say such shameful words!"

Snapped--!

It was another big bag, but it was given to him by Yilin, and then he wanted to escape underground.

"So, Rin-chan, it turns out you like Yurei as well?"

In the shameful hell torture, Yilin, who was ridden under Aisha, didn't even have a chance to escape.

Since there is no way to escape... then as a hero, you cannot flee from the battlefield.

"Yes, yes!"

Squinting his eyes and admitting it forcefully, Yilin felt that his cheeks must be so hot that he could use them to make toast.

"I just like Yu Ling, so what? When he saved me for the first time in the Dark Game, I already loved him very much. I loved him so much, I loved him hopelessly! His voice is in my head every night, what else can I do?"

Once the shame switch of human beings is turned on, it seems like a flood that cannot be stopped.

In just a few seconds, Yilin said all the shameful words that he had never said in his life.

The overly straightforward admission made Aisha blush and feel at a loss.

Including You Ling in the Millennium Brick Soul Room, he had never been confessed to so formally in his two lives.

“Scumbag——!”

The dark side of Aisha, who was so jealous that his teeth were itching, was no longer satisfied with kicking You Ling's calves wildly.

The slender body jumped up, then she put her arms around You Ling's neck and used her weight to perform a suicidal chokehold.

"Xinei!"

"Are you angry at the wrong person, Aisha...it's not like I wanted it to turn out like this."

Even You Ling couldn't help but feel a little moved by the beautiful girl's simple and straightforward confession.

But it is indeed not a pleasant feeling to be held captive by another beautiful girl.

Besides, You Ling hasn’t even got his own body yet, so he has no way to respond to Yi Lin’s feelings.

"So, so that's how it is. Rin-chan, I see, you've always thought like this..."

Aixia got up from Yilin awkwardly, and even began to admire Yilin's courage.

These extremely embarrassing words have never been said to You Ling in all the time he and I have been together.

"So, so! Even though I didn't win the duel just now, I didn't lose either. So, so!"

When Yilin said this, he was already out of breath, and his heart was beating so fast that he might faint in the next second.

"So, I won't give up. I haven't lost to you yet, Xiao Ai!"
