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

The light from the mysterious eyes that kept blinking from the hollow inside the giant tree seemed to be able to make one's sanity plummet.

The hell scene created by the surrounding darkness seemed to have gone deeper, already horrifying enough.

The degree to which the dark fog here corrodes the duelists is probably dozens of times higher than the thick fog that initially permeated the royal capital.

Even with the thousand-year-old artifact as protection, You Ling, who was in the center of darkness, could feel the restlessness from the depths of his soul.

It was as if the soul was shouting at itself to tear everything apart.

"Another effect of Paradise Lost: When you have a Phantom on your field, you can draw 1 cards from your deck once per turn!"

Aisha: "Is this card-drawing effect a continuous version of [Pot of Greed]?"

The combination of Phantom Demon and Paradise Lost is equivalent to allowing Rockford to activate a Pot of Greed every turn.

"Pick the card."

After drawing out two extra cards, Rockford smiled even more.

"Just use this card to crush everything. Fight!"

The battle cry from the muscular body shook even the giant trees of Paradise Lost in the darkness.

"Phantom Demon Emperor Rabbi El, crush that small fry on the opposite side of the field!"

The phantom demon burst out with a huge amount of energy and punched Youyou who was in defensive form.

Normally, using Thunder King Harmon to destroy Youyou can also cause 1000 points of effective damage, which is obviously a better choice.

But the reason why the Phantom Demon Emperor Rabiel was declared to launch the attack was because Rockford's Millennium Eye had seen through the trap card in You Ling's backcourt, and was sure that You Ling would launch it at this time.

"——Activate the Trap Card [Alliance of the Same Name]! Special Summon the other two Yunyuns in the deck in Defense Mode as well!"

[Yoyo DEF: 100] × 3

Three yoyos were neatly placed on the swimming field, forming a human wall.

"When you successfully Special Summon 2 monsters, Phantom King Rabbiel can also Special Summon Phantom Tokens!"

Two more phantom demon derivatives were born. Fortunately, the phantom demon derivatives themselves could not launch attacks, otherwise Youyou would expose her weakness that she could not even defeat the derivatives.

"It is absolutely impossible to stop the Phantom Demon King with numbers! I activate the monster effect [Phantom Demon King - Heavenly Ravage Fist] from my hand!"

This is an extra card that Rockford got through Paradise Lost. The name of the card itself is directly named after the move of the Phantom Demon King Rabbi El.

[Discard this card from your hand, and activate it by targeting 1 "Illusion Demon King Rabiel" on your field. During this turn, the attack power of that monster is doubled, and you can attack all opponent's monsters once each. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn.]

"Explode, the Crushing Fist of the Strongest Phantom Demon!"

[Magic Emperor ATK: 4000 → 8000]

The attack power soared to 8000 points, and the Phantom Demon Emperor Rabiael even had the effect of attacking all monsters on the field. His Heavenly Ravaging Fist exploded like a nuclear bomb, sweeping across the entire field of Youling.

【Youyou】Destruction × 3

In the face of the ultimate power of the phantom demon, the three Yoyos were completely defenseless and were crushed into tofu dregs.

"Then comes the direct attack of [Thunder King Hamon]! ——Thunderbolt of Lost Joy!"

4000 points of fatal damage were inflicted instantly. Facing the phantom thunder coming straight at him, You Ling had no choice but to hand over another trump card in his hand that had been seen through.

"I discard [Kuri Ball] from my hand to negate this battle damage! Kuribo!"

The chestnut ball flew out from Yu Zero's hand card in response, blocking the phantom's deadly thunder instead of absorbing it.

However, Rockford, who had seen through You Ling's hand card, had already anticipated such a result.

As long as we force You Ling to use the [Chestnut Ball] to save his life in desperate situations, the goal of this round will be achieved.

"End the battle phase, and I will activate the effect of [Phantom Demon Emperor - Heavenly Ravage Fist] in the graveyard!"

[If this card is in the Graveyard, you can activate this effect by Tributing 1 monster on your field. Add this card to your hand.]

"After I release 1 Phantom Token on the field, I will retrieve the [Phantom Emperor - Heavenly Ravage Fist] card in the Graveyard!"

For Rockford, using the free Phantom Devil derivatives to exchange for such a powerful hand trap is simply a huge profit.

"Finally I cover a card, and the turn ends!"

After putting down his hand cards to end the round, Rockford did not forget to taunt You Ling.

"Where is your so-called 'trump card'? You can't even activate a trap if you fight without looking at the cards!"

"Oh, you want to know. Then let me reveal the secret of the trump card now!"

The trap that can only really take effect at the end of the round made You Ling couldn't help but sigh at the flow of the wind of strong luck.

"——Permanent Trap Card [Human Wave Tactics]!"

[Effect of Human Wave Tactics Continuous Trap Card: At the end of each turn, Special Summon a Level 2 Normal Monster or lower from the deck. The number of summons is the number of Level 1 Normal Monsters or lower destroyed by battle in the same turn.]

A funny card face filled with Yoyos, and its effects are specially designed to be used with normal monsters.

"Look at what you did this turn, Rockford! You destroyed 3 Yoyos with Celestial Smash Fist, so I can Special Summon 3 Normal Monsters of Level 2 or lower from my Deck!"

A genuine human wave tactic. When a certain number of small monsters are destroyed during the turn, more small monsters will be summoned from the deck at the end of the turn.

And now, the number of small monsters on the field in Aisha Carlos's deck represents another possibility.

Expand your deck and select 3 Minion Monsters to Special Summon during the End Phase of this turn.

However, when choosing the monster card, the restless soul that was gradually eroded by the dark and foggy environment suddenly reacted.

Let yourself tear it all apart.

Use the power of darkness to tear them apart!

"Mr. You Ling?" Ai Xia, who noticed something unusual, asked in a low voice.

During duels, You Ling's operations are always smooth and fluid, and he rarely pauses when choosing to summon small monsters.

"Mr. You Ling, are you okay?"

"It's nothing. It's just..."

You Ling's eyes were fixed on the unfolded cards in the deck in front of him.

"I see it! In this hell, a new force is boiling and shouting!"

Draw 3 cards from the deck and throw them on the field as a special summon of [Human Wave Tactics]. The monster chosen by You Ling is full of "specialness" in a certain sense.

It was during the weekly summoning class at the Fu Sheng Academy that You Ling summoned the monster himself after trying to swap bodies with Ai Xia. (For details, please refer to Chapter 60.)

"I Special Summon 3 [Bones] on the field!"

[Bone★Dark] [Undead ATK: 300 DEF: 200]

It is a small monster among small monsters, and it is on par with Youyou in terms of combat power. However, it represents the trend of tactics turning from light to darkness.

Chapter 231: You Ling's Dark Fusion

"The trump card is... the human wave tactic!"

The dark energy in the Millennium Eye was shaking violently, representing a trump card tactic that was beyond the holder Rockford's calculations, and it did bring him a considerable shock.

But the most important thing was the shock at You Ling's on-the-spot judgment and the disbelief at his belief in the possibilities brought about by his good luck.

If You Ling does not hold on until the last moment, this perpetual trap card will be hidden in the form of a Texas Hold'em "hole card".

If the existence of the human wave tactics was exposed, Rockford, who had the Millennium Eye and saw through everything, would not have been so decisive in using the Heavenly Ravaging Fist to destroy the three Yoyos, giving You Ling the opportunity to pull out more needed monsters from the deck.

Three eerie and cold white skeletons crawled on the ground and slowly climbed up, completely blending in with the surrounding dark environment and into the picture of this dark game hell without any sense of incongruity.

"But why are they bones?"

At this moment, even Rockford, who possessed the Thousand Year Eyes, could not see through You Ling's thoughts.

He might be able to peer into the other person's mind and see through the card, but that would only be if the card actually existed.

Just like when he used the Legendary Dragon Fusion to summon the [Dragon Knight Black Magician Girl] before, Rockfor was completely unable to see through You Ling's thoughts at this time.

However, Lockefer had already declared the end of the round. Even if he saw through You Ling's thoughts, he couldn't interfere any further.

All he could do now was to continue to activate the effects of the Phantom Demon Emperor.

"When you have a monster Special Summoned on the field, use the effect of Phantom King Rabbiel to Special Summon a Phantom Token on my field!"

Although the three special summons of You Ling's human wave tactics should allow the Phantom Demon King to produce three derivatives, the most important position is not enough.

Based on the 5-grid restriction rule of the Monster Field, the only remaining position on Rockford's field is the one that releases the derivative this turn and reclaims the only vacant space vacated by the Celestial Ravage Fist.

[Phantom Derivative DEF: 1000]

The board is completely full, with Rockford's Phantom Demon King and Thunder King with 4000 attack points, and 3 Phantom Demon Tokens with 1000 defense points. In addition, there is the resistance provided by the Phantom Demon itself, and the resistance provided by the Field Spell Card [Paradise Lost].

In order to break through this situation, You Ling can only rely on the three white bones on the field.

To be honest, the combat power brought by the three white bones is almost the same as that of the three Yoyos.

1-star Mortal Bone, even the attack power is the same 300 points.

The biggest difference should be.

Aixia: "This is Mr. You Ling, the monster he summoned himself."

A very subtle presence.

Because it was a monster summoned by You Ling himself, Aisha insisted on adding it to the deck. She reasoned that since they were all Mortal Bones, it didn't matter which one to bring, so she insisted on bringing You Ling's.

But You Ling himself felt that it was too embarrassing that he had vowed to summon monsters on behalf of Aisha during the summoning course, but ended up staring at three white skeletons in dismay.

The White Bone card became one of You Ling's black history. Even if it was in the deck, You Ling tried his best not to use it.

It is this kind of subtle existence, coupled with Aisha's persistence, that makes the small fish card deck that tends to be light and angelic, have three more undead dark monsters.

"Why would you summon the bones at this time, Mr. Yu Ling? ... Could it be that there is really a new power in this hell?"

I have to say that the bones themselves do match the surrounding hell scroll environment very well.

But no matter how well it fits in with the environment, Bones is still Bones after all, an ordinary small monster with no effect.

"Use darkness to defeat darkness, Aisha. Even though we are both small fry, bones are different in their own way!"

"(～￣▽￣)～The difference is that you, Mr. Yu Ling, summoned it yourself~"

"Now is not the time to reminisce about the dark past. It's my turn, draw a card!"

If the cry from the depths of the soul has any meaning, then in this painting of hell of death, there should be a real dark power hidden that You Ling can use.

"If hell really exists, then pull the card out of it! ——Activate the magic card [Price of Horse Bones]!"

[Horsebone's Counter Magic Card Effect: Activate by sending 1 face-up Normal Monster on your field to the Graveyard. Draw 2 cards from your Deck.]

The cheap "Pot of Greed" is only C-level, which is used exclusively by the Mortal Bone deck. Although it requires sacrificing a Mortal Bone monster on the field, it also allows Aisha's deck to have more card replenishment ability besides the Life-Severing Treasure.

The most important thing is, what this deck lacks the most is the Ordinary Bone Minion Fries.

"I send a Normal Monster [Bone] on the field to the Graveyard, then draw 1 cards from my deck!"

White fingertips pulled two cards from the Eye of the Spirit, the card that You Ling wanted was the one that could unleash the hidden power of the remaining two bones on the field.

A card that awakens infinite possibilities - Fusion!

"Activate the magic card [Fusion]!"

The fusion magic card that was obtained by replenishing [Price of Horse Bones] fell heavily to the ground of Dark Yugi.

A spiral fusion effect spread across the field, involving the fusion of the two remaining [Bone] monsters on Yu Zero's field.

"I will fuse two [Bones] together and summon a brand new monster in this hell of death!"

Aisha: "Two bones fused together?"

In Aisha's impression, with such fusion materials, two normal monsters can only fuse into [Ancient Dragon].

With the attack power of [Ancient Dragon], it is obviously no match for two phantom demons with an attack power of 4000 points.

But at this moment, You Ling was standing in the center of this dark vortex. The white hair beside the girl's delicate cheeks was blown by the fused airflow, and with the smile on the corner of her mouth, she looked extremely confident.

"What do you mean by calling a new monster from the hell of death? This feeling is exactly the same as before, Rin-chan. You are affected by the black fog, Mr. Yurei!"

Unlike Aisha Carlos, You Ling's soul has no resistance to the erosion of the black fog, which was also confirmed during the duel with Yilin.

Not to mention that the degree of erosion of the black fog is now dozens of times that of the previous ordinary form of fog.

When darkness fell, it seemed that You Ling was not the only one whose power form was affected by the black fog.
