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

The nearly 100-year-old body, which had already aged to the point of being frail and needed a cane for even the most basic walking, now began to collide like an inflated body after receiving the huge amount of life force.

“Aaaaah, kimoji——!”

As Lockforslint let out a wild roar that was extremely high, his sturdy muscles swelled with the force of life directly burst the uniform of the Imperial Marshal.

A muscular man with half-naked upper body and bulging veins. No one would dare to associate such a person with the centenarian old man.

Having obtained a life force even greater than that of his physical body at its peak, the Millennium Eye that replaced his original eyeball appeared even deeper and more mysterious.

At the same time, the life points absorbed by the Three Phantom Demons' cards were converted into extremely dark energy, which spread outward from the center of the Royal Capital's barrier and began to blacken the thick fog that permeated the entire Royal Capital.

The thick fog that was originally able to corrode the duelists' souls and minds, after transforming into pure black fog, could even corrode their bodies.

Directly and domineeringly take away the life force from the body of a living thing.

"Kema, look down there!"

"Nani?"

When You Ling and Kema, who had kidnapped an entire imperial battleship, actually noticed the change, the thick fog covering the royal capital had been completely dyed black.

Because of the overly violent energy fluctuations, there were even bursts of thunderous aftermath outside the dark fog.

This was not even considered thick fog. Looking down from an altitude of ten thousand meters, the scene in front of one's eyes was like a huge black thundercloud that completely engulfed the capital of Livolden.

Kema frowned again: "The capital is completely shrouded in darkness!"

I thought that this surprise attack, which was intended to end the war, would bring light back to the capital where even the sun could not be seen.

What he didn't expect was that after his side won, the royal capital was forced into a deeper darkness.

You Ling questioned: "What on earth have you done to other countries? You used this despicable dark force to invade. Don't you, the Saint Varian Empire, have the most basic humanity and honor?"

As one of the insiders, facing such a strange and unknown situation, You Ling could only hope to pry some key information out of the mouth of this proud and loyal imperial general.

“Hahahahahahahaha, all of this is for my father’s eternal life. Even if you know it now, it’s too late. The capital of Livolden is surrounded by this extreme darkness that absorbs life. There are no duelists who can fight anymore!”

Aisha: "Eternal life, and the darkness that absorbs life. It's the Three Phantom Demons, Mr. Yu Ling!"

You Ling: "The only thing that can cause such an exaggerated dark scene is that thing."

It is not an exaggeration to say that the three phantom demons, who are said to be able to rival the three phantom gods, would be able to seal and absorb the vitality of the entire royal capital if they were fully awakened.

"The situation may be very bad, Kema." You Ling relayed.

Even from such a distance, You Ling could still feel the dark power contained in the thick fog like a black thundercloud below.

It's so terrifying outside the thick fog, and maybe inside the thick fog it's really as Cameron Slynt said, after the erosion, no duelists can fight anymore.

Especially after experiencing a direct war, the scarred soul is more likely to be swallowed by darkness.

"A duelist who can fight... humph, there are still some!"

However, Kemaset, who seemed to have no idea what a desperate situation was, was still able to force a smile at this time.

"You and I are still here, Yu Ling! As long as the two of us are still standing, the capital of Livolden has not been completely defeated by this darkness!"

"So you think so, Kema!"

They hit it off immediately; Kema's ideas were surprisingly consistent with You Ling's.

Since You Ling and Kema can fight their way out for the victory of the war.

Then, for the survival of the royal capital, You Ling and Kema can fight back now!

Aisha said worriedly: "But in addition to the thick fog, there is also thunder caused by energy leakage. Even for the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, it will be very dangerous to go back!"

If you are not careful and get hit by thunder while riding the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, you will be reduced to ashes.

"We won't need the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon this time. Don't we have a better vehicle?"

You Ling stepped hard on the steel deck of the battleship under her feet, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of the girl's mouth.

"Let's use this battleship to crash directly into the thundering fog! Let that old fellow Rockford feel the strongest firepower from the empire!"

Chapter 226: Eat My Steamroller!

On the eve of the dawn of victory, endless darkness suddenly swallowed up everything.

The white fog turned into black fog, and the people surrounded by darkness seemed to be in the endless night at that moment.

All the duelists saw was the ever-expanding black despair, until even their own cards and elf eyes were gradually stained by darkness.

"What the hell is going on? Didn't we win?"

Kevin's consciousness gradually became blurred. He looked at the black fog that filled the surroundings, as if the life force in his body was being sucked away by the abyss of a bottomless pit.

Even the Red-Eyes Black Dragon Card in his hand began to disappear gradually.

"You must be kidding. How long will this darkness last..."

Kevin, who was unable to put up any resistance and whose consciousness and health points were sucked away by the dark fog, fell down unwillingly and lost consciousness, just like all the duelists in the black fog.

"Where will this capital and this country go? It's really frustrating!"

Dehao Caesar gritted his teeth. Although his royal dignity allowed him to hold on until the last moment, the heavy sleepiness brought about by the loss of vitality still made him unable to hold on and fell into a coma.

Almost no one was spared. In the capital city covered by thick dark fog, everyone fainted and fell asleep due to the loss of health points caused by the three phantom magic cards.

"Brother, brother! What happened to you?"

Except for the little princess who had no idea what was going on, everyone else remained sober.

For some reason, the little princess Nova was not affected by the black fog of the three phantom demons around her, but could only watch the familiar faces around her fall one by one.

Even if Nova herself did not faint, the feeling of being surrounded by darkness and unknown fear at this moment would be more relaxing than just fainting.

"Brother, wake up, brother!"

Then the only two people who were not affected by the dark fog were Yilin Austin.

Although they were far apart, she felt the same as Nova at this moment. She was in complete fear of the unknown and had no idea what was happening. She could only watch her brother fall down because of the erosion of darkness.

"Why did this happen? We have fought so hard to this point, what did Livden do wrong to suffer such a disaster!"

Compared to the majority of people who were unconscious in the black fog, the two awake ones could more clearly feel the emotion called "despair".

Especially after thinking that they had grasped the hope of victory in the war, they were kicked into the darkness of the abyss, which further magnified this sense of despair.

"Come on, what else can we do? Why is there only this darkness? It seems like it will never go away!"

There was dead silence, no one would answer, leaving Yilin to question the heavens, with only the deathly silence in the black fog.

Being in the center of a dark vortex, feeling alone and helpless can almost drive one to collapse.

Boom-!

Because of the sharp contrast with the surrounding silence, the melodious bell sound was deafening.

That was the sound of bells coming from the Imperial battleship, the giant sky palace, the Concorde, which had forced its way into the dark fog.

The death knell that once represented the bombing of Hellstorm, now in the despairing black fog filled with death, the knell is as clear as the hope of being reborn.

"Is that the battleship of the Empire?" Yilin stared at the sky with trembling eyes. "I remember You Ling and Kema had already captured the battleship. And now the battleship appears here, does it mean!"

"Lockford Slint, I'm back again!"

You Ling, standing at the bridgehead of the battleship, couldn't help but feel his blood boiling at the return of the hero who rode the steel behemoth, galloped across the sky, penetrated the thunder, and rode the wind and waves.

Solomon! I'm back!

"I saw it, that old guy!"

Perhaps it was not obvious to Yilin and Nova who were on the ground, but You Ling and Kema who were in the sky looking down at the ground of the royal capital could see the trajectory of the black fog clearly.

Countless black mists that absorbed the power of life rushed towards a certain location in the royal capital, as if drawing a dark spiral on the earth.

As for the man standing in the center of the dark spiral, his muscular appearance was completely different from his old body, but the iconic feature of the Millennium Eyes was such that even if You Ling turned into ashes, he would not be mistaken.

"Just charge straight ahead and let that guy experience for himself the heavy firepower that your Saint Varian Empire is so proud of!"

Physically eliminating the duelist is definitely the most convenient option. Especially when forcibly driving such a large-mass warship to collide, the destructive power it brings is absolutely extraordinary.

I don't know if he had learned how to operate a ship in Hawaii, but Kema, standing in the captain's seat, turned the ship accurately and aimed the head of the battleship at Rockfor Slint on the ground.

Aisha: "(╯°Д°)╯Go ahead, eat my steamroller!!"

"Ok!"

He didn't expect that his own warship would come straight towards him like this. If it were the old Rockfor Slynt, he would probably have a headache.

But it's different now.

Having absorbed the life of the duelists and duel spirits in the royal capital, Rockfort, with the tremendous vitality surging in his body, felt that he was omnipotent.

"Drink——!"

With an angry roar, the exaggerated muscles on Rockford's half-naked upper body surged with vitality, and veins bulged further.

The Imperial Marshal raised his strong arm without moving, then opened his palm and, with unscientific physical strength, stopped the Imperial battleship that was rushing towards him with just one hand.

"A monster? What is this?" You Ling cursed in disbelief.

"Stop scolding, it's time to go."

With his slender fingers twirling, Kema urgently summoned the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. The dragon grabbed Aisha's collar with its mouth and pulled You Ling out of the battleship.

The remaining non-combat personnel in the battleship all fainted on the spot due to the impact caused by the large-scale battleship falling to the ground.

The white dragon landed, and the two men who represented the last hope of the royal capital's counterattack finally had a face-to-face encounter with Rockforslint, who had gained eternal life.

"Old man, you look much healthier after just a short time of not seeing you."

Aisha: "Mr. ヽ(?Д?)ノYu Ling, your understanding of "toughness" is a bit beyond the scope."

Facing the exaggeratedly muscular marshal who could stop a ship with one hand, You Ling could still find the mood to tease him. He had to admire himself for what it meant to remain calm in the face of danger.

After all, it's better to lose the battle than to lose the person. You can't let the opponent get the upper hand in momentum before the duel begins.

Look, Kema hasn't spoken yet.

As You Ling was thinking this, he suddenly felt a soft body on his shoulders.

"Kema?"

Affected by the black fog, Kema's consciousness had begun to blur, and he could only rely on You Ling to support himself and barely avoid falling down.

"No... How can we quit here halfway?"

In a trance, the subconscious instinct of survival made Kema reach out to grab the thousand-year-old building block hanging on Aisha's chest.

Chapter 227: Kema's Soul Exchange

"You Ling, it must be You Ling and the others who are back!"

The imperial battleship landed. Although Yilin, who was far away, did not see the exaggerated scene of the imperial marshal blocking the ship with one hand, the hope brought by the battleship's return had become the last life-saving straw in this darkness of death.

As long as he is there, no matter how desperate the situation is, we will always find a way to break through the difficulties.

Even though there is no concrete evidence, in the heart of the girl Yilin Austin, You Ling, who has overturned impossible and desperate situations many times, is such a perfect and invincible existence.

"I have to go! To find You Ling, even if it's just a little bit. I want to face this darkness with him!"

The girl felt extremely determined in her heart. Instead of waiting in this silent land of death, she would choose to fight one more time.

Perhaps it was fate that arranged it this way, allowing me to remain uniquely lucid in the darkness, unlike other duelists.

After placing the unconscious Yilong in his place, Yilin made up his mind and said silently: "Brother, I'm leaving. This time I'm a real hero fighting to protect everyone!"

The light of the card shines.

A hero card with a pure white glow suddenly floated out from Eragon's Elf Eye's deck.

The flashing card fell to the ground, looking out of place in the dark and silent surroundings.

"What is this card?"

Yilin, attracted by the light, picked up the card that fell to the ground.

"Idigo's card!"

The tradable card itself is the card given to Eragon by Edie Austin.

In the Dark Game, Edie, who only ended up in a draw with the opponent and lost the Eye of the Elf, chose to give the card representing her soul to her brother and asked her brother to protect her sister on her behalf.
