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

"I understand. Is this the strongest person in the academy? But unfortunately, due to some force majeure, I must become the strongest. So Senior Aixia, I will not give up until the end of this duel!"

Waving his hand upward vigorously, with the elf eyes on his arm shining, Arnold revealed his last trump card.

"Activate the covered Trap Card - [Spiral Resurrection]!"

[Spiral Resurrection Trap Card Effect: You can activate this effect by targeting a Level 1 or lower Dragon-Type monster in your Graveyard. Special Summon that monster. If you Special Summon "Dragon Knight Gaia" with this effect, that monster cannot be targeted by your opponent's effects and cannot be destroyed by your opponent's effects.]

A resurrection trap card specialized in the effect of Dragon Knight Gaia. Gaia awakens from Arnold's graveyard area and soars into the sky again.

"This is the resurrection summon that I'm betting my final victory on, Sky-flying Dragon Knight! Gaia——!!"

[Sky Dragon Knight Gaia ATK: 2600]

During the special summon in the battle phase, Gaia, the Soaring Dragon Knight, can still sprint with his spear and launch an attack.

"Attack target, the lone Youyou! - 『Tianxiang Spiral Gun Kill!』"

“Oh! Did you specifically choose Youyou, who was equipped with jewelry, to attack?” The pancake stand owner, who had completely entered the role, began to explain without authorization: “Obviously with 2600 attack points, there is no way to overcome the level gap. What are you planning to do!”

"The effect of [Soaring Dragon Knight Gaia] is activated!"

[This card can only be activated when it declares an attack on an opponent's monster. The position of that opponent's monster changes.]

It can forcibly change the attack monster's performance when declaring an attack, while the equipment card [Jewelry of Downfall] can only provide an increase in attack power.

Under the suppression of the dragon knight Gaia's spear wind, the lone Youyou was forced into a defensive mode.

[Lonely and Leisurely DEF: 100]

Then a shot penetrated, and the Dragon Rider's Spear skewered Youyou like tofu, crushing her into pieces.

"When the continuous magic [Spiral Gun] is on my field, when Dragon Knight Gaia attacks a monster in Defense Position, it will inflict through damage whose attack power exceeds the opponent's defense power!"

Aisha Carlos LP: 4000 → 1500

With the effect of penetrating defense, it dealt a lot of combat damage to You Ling. Arnold's desperate counterattack seemed to have turned the balance of victory back a little.

“But that’s not enough!” The pancake stand owner explained excitedly, “The equipment magic card [Jewelry of the Downfall] can return to the top of the deck after being destroyed. In the next turn, Aisha Carlos can still use Yoyo on the field to kill Dragon Knight Gaia!”

Yi Lin couldn't help but squinted and said, "I say, why do you know so much, boss? Even I didn't know that jewelry could have this effect."

There are still three Yoyos on the field. The destroyed [Jewelry of the Downfall] can even be recycled. They cannot be stopped by [Gaia, the Sky-Soaring Dragon Knight] alone.

Arnold understood this fact very clearly.

But he couldn't give up here.

Because he didn't know how much time he had left in the obelisk.

That's why he couldn't wait to challenge the strong seniors in the academy.

Now he is only one card away from becoming the strongest person. If he gives up here, he will definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

"I'm betting on this draw. The final effect of the continuous magic card [Spiral Gun]!"

[This card's effect is activated when "Dragon Knight Gaia" inflicts battle damage to your opponent. Draw 2 cards from your deck, then choose 1 card from your hand and discard it.]

In these last two card draws, you must find a way to block Yoyo's attacks.

"Draw a card!"

The two cards I got in succession were [Dark Knight of the Wind] and a magic card.

“This is the card!”

Arnold decisively chose to discard Gaia, the Dark Knight of the Wind, leaving another magic card.

Let this magic card become your sword of hope for reversal.

"——Activate the continuous magic card [Light Sealing Sword]!"

[Light Sealing Sword Continuous Magic Card Effect: All monsters on the opponent's field are face-up. After this card is activated, it will remain on the field for 3 turns calculated according to the opponent's turn. As long as this card exists on the field, monsters on the opponent's field cannot declare attacks.]

As the magic card was activated, countless sealed lightsabers filled the Yu Ling field, trapping the three Yu Yus with a lot of questions in their heads.

Aisha: "Light Sealing Sword? Is this really a magic card that a first-year student can use?"

Before entering school, if you cannot use the "Spell Catalog", magic cards can only be made randomly.

Therefore, it is understandable that Arnold has the Gaia series [Spiral Fusion] which has good compatibility with his own summons.

But [Light Sealing Sword] is a general-purpose card of B rank rarity. Such a rare magic and trap card is definitely above the standard for the strength of the decks of freshmen who have just entered school.

If the attack is blocked by the Sword of Light Sealing, it means that the monsters on the field cannot launch attacks for the next three turns.

On the contrary, Arnold can continue to use Gaia, the Flying Dragon Knight, to penetrate Youyou's defense and cause fatal damage to You Ling.

"I won!" Arnold gritted his teeth in excitement. After his amazing draw, he could already feel his fingers trembling.

"Even if the opponent is the strongest duelist in Fu Sheng Academy, I can still win. Grandpa, I will definitely reach that level!"

"Only the strongest duelist can awaken the gods."

"My turn is over."

The round was declared over under the illumination of the Sword of Sealing Light. Arnold seemed to have grasped the victory of the strongest battle and the card of the god on the other side of that realm.

"Is this your determination? I can already feel it. It's very strong."

"Nani?"

However, just when Arnold was sure that he had won the duel, the steady and confident tone of the white-haired girl standing in front of him among countless shining swords made his heart tremble.

Since she was able to remain calm in such a situation, why did I think that this girl didn't look very smart before?

Did you see it wrong?

He was like a completely different person during the duel, his emerald green eyes were as deep as gemstones and unfathomable.

"Since you have shown your determination to win the duel with me, I must respond with my strongest strength. This is a sign of respect for the duel."

"Respond to me with your strongest response?"

The girl's white fingertips pressed on the Elf Eyes deck. At that moment, Arnold seemed to glimpse a trace of fire overflowing from the card through the contact between his fingertips and the unknown card back.

"Wait, isn't that card [Jewelry of the Underdog]?" Adno asked.

After [Lone Youyou] was destroyed in the last round, if You Ling wanted to break through the attack power of Dragon Knight Gaia, he would definitely recover [Jewelry of the Downtrodden] and put it on the top of the deck.

"I never said that I was going to activate the jewelry recycling effect. So this one will be a brand new card draw. It's my turn, draw a card!"

"This is!!!"

Arnold took three steps back. He had never felt such a strong pressure from drawing a card.

Even though the situation had been completely blocked by the [Sealing Sword of Light], the power contained in this card could still easily penetrate the sword of light and attack him.

"What kind of card is it?"

Adno watched You Ling's card drawing carefully, but You Ling took the lead in activating another magic in his hand.

"——Activate the magic card [Triforce]!"

[Triangle Power Magic Card Effect: Increase the original attack and defense of all face-up 1-star Normal monsters on your field (excluding derivatives) by 2000 points. At the End Phase, all 1-star Normal monsters on your field are destroyed.]

"Because of the activation of the magic card [Triforce], the attack power of the three 3-star normal monsters Yunyun on the field increases by 1 points!"

[Youyou ATK: 300 → 2300] × 3

Three pieces of tofu flapped their small wings behind them and arranged themselves neatly in a triangle. With the light connecting them, their attack power skyrocketed to a level that was completely inconsistent with a 1-star monster.

"Attack power 2300?" Arnold tried to maintain his strength. "Even if that's the case, it's meaningless if I can't launch an attack in the [Sword of Sealing Light]!"

"Only this sword of light that seals all attacks can't stop me. Witness it, the next one is the strongest card!"

With his fingertips holding high the card drawn in this round, a burning golden flame spread outward from the card, with You Ling as the center point, sweeping across the entire field and surging into the sky.

The three Yoyos on the field were also completely surrounded by flames and became sacrifices for the upgrade summoning.

"I'll sacrifice three Yoyos to upgrade my summons!"

Arnold was shocked and said, "Using three sacrifices to summon? This, could it be!"

At the moment when the card flame bloomed, You Ling, standing among countless swords of light, chanted a spell.

"The elves sing, the eternal power governs all things! Their lives, their souls, and even their bodies! When the sky and the earth meet, the sun will finally illuminate this world! - Come, the Winged Dragon of the Sun God!"

[Winged Dragon of the Sun God ★★★★★★★★★★ (10 stars) God]

[Phantom Beast/Effect ATK:? DEF:?]

Kami's arrival, with his unique divine attributes and race, demonstrates the strongest name of this card.

Aixia: "Mr. You Ling. It was just a duel with a freshman, but he actually summoned the Pteranodon? Isn't that too much!"

You Ling: "Aixia, do you believe this is also fate? It was not me who chose to summon the Winged Dragon, but the Winged Dragon of the Sun God who chose to show its divine majesty in this duel."

Arnold, a civilian duelist from the West, may have a close connection with the God Card.

The phantom god transformed from a spherical body similar to the sun into the form of a bird with spread wings. The arrival of this phantom god undoubtedly shocked everyone present at this moment.

"This is the Winged Dragon of the Sun God that Xiao Ai and You Ling hold."

Due to the battle in the royal capital, Yilin lost consciousness before the final summons from God, so this was the first time she witnessed the arrival of the Pteranodon with her own eyes.

The dumbfounded pancake stand owner would never have thought, nor dared to imagine, that he was just selling pancakes as usual, but he was lucky enough to see the coming of God.

Of course, the most surprised ones were the two freshmen, Licia and Arnold.

Lixia asked, "Senior Aixia, is he the legendary person who can make the gods descend?"

Arnold said, "Is this also a god? The Winged Dragon of the Sun God... This world actually exists. Gods other than Obelix, and duelists who can also control gods!"

At this moment, Arnold recalled his grandfather's words in front of the obelisk. Only the strongest can awaken the gods. This is also the path that Arnold is determined to pursue.

And the girl in front of him, the strongest duelist in Fu Sheng Academy, had actually reached this level.

Is this world too vast? Or is this senior in front of me simply too strong?

You Ling waved his hand and pointed at the Winged Dragon in the sky, declaring the effect: "Winged Dragon of the Sun God, the attack power of this card is the total attack power of the 3 monsters used as sacrifices!"

With three Yoyos as sacrifices, Pteranodon's attack power should only be 900 points.

But the magic card [Triangle Power] increased Youyou's original attack power by 2000 points.

2300 × 3 = 6900!

[Sun God's Winged Dragon ATK:? →6900]

Drawing strength from the three dragons, it roared and chirped, its huge golden semi-mechanical body covered in flames. It seemed that the Sword of Sealing Light was unable to stop the Pterosaur's imminent attack.

"The Sun God's Winged Dragon can only be affected by the effects of magic cards activated during the current round. Therefore, the [Light Sealing Sword] activated in the previous round cannot stop the God!"

Ignoring the lightsabers that filled the entire arena as nothing, the Winged Dragon of the Sun God spread his wings, raised his proud head, and gathered a raging, burning divine attack.

"Attack the target, the Flying Dragon Knight Gaia! Burn the sky with the flames of God, La——!"

The Pterosaur, with a final attack power of 6900 points, exploded with absolute power and blasted towards the Soaring Dragon Knight Gaia.

“——『Divine Flame Cannon!!』”

The gap between ordinary monsters and gods is too huge, and there is no room for resistance. The decisive solar flame penetrates through layers of lightsabers and burns and engulfs Gaia.

【Sky-Soaring Dragon Knight Gaia】Destruction

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!"

Arnold LP: 3000 → 0

The remaining health points were instantly emptied, and the defeat was inevitable. Arnold, who was lying on the ground, realized the huge gap in strength.

The senior in front of him, who was standing under the protection of the wings of god, also shone like a god in Arnold's eyes.

"So strong! So handsome! Is this the strongest person in Fu Sheng Academy, Senior Aixia?"

Chapter 255: Are you here to borrow You Ling too?

In the dormitory, Kevin, who had only bread and cheese for lunch, was racing against time to debug his deck.

There is no time to slack off anymore.

A new semester means a brand new beginning.

And there is only one goal Kevin pursues.

You must defeat your destined opponent.
