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

"Little guy, it's only been a day, and your speed has increased?"

The Dark Duelist looked at You Ling, who was riding side by side with him at a speed comparable to his, with an expression of amazement on his face.

Compared with yesterday, it was clearly the same D round, but I had no way of getting rid of it.

Is it because the soul within the body is different?

Of course, Aisha is lighter, and this is one of the reasons.

But the most important thing is that yesterday You Ling used Yilin’s hero deck to engage in a riding duel.

Because there is no high-speed magic card in the deck, it is no longer important to take the initiative. You Ling did not accelerate Wei's customized exclusive D wheel to the limit at the beginning of the game.

But this time it's different.

Taking the key initiative means that the high-speed indicator will reach the key 2 points in advance.

"Be prepared. Humans have a strong desire to survive."

You Ling pressed tightly against the dark duelist's jet-black D-wheel with a momentum that almost threatened to hit him.

"What are you going to do, kid?"

Driving side by side at such a close distance, if they accelerated to take the turn, it was very likely that both of them would flip over at the first turn.

"What do you mean by desire to live? I think you don't want to live anymore!"

"Hehe, I value my life very much, so I won't speed up any further. But..."

You Ling, who had restrained the Dark Duelist, smiled with a look of success.

"Go, Krista!"

"Leave it to me, Yu Ling!"

Yu Ling was not alone in the riding duel.

Use your own D-wheel to contain the Dark Duelist's D-wheel, creating space for your teammate Christa to surpass.

Seizing the gap created by You Ling at the critical moment, Krista accelerated to overtake on the inside line of wheel D and successfully passed the first flame curve.

The two started the riding duel with perfect coordination and successfully got the initiative.

Then the order of the three-person riding duel will be Christa → Dark Duelist → Yu Ling → Dark Duelist... and so on.

Looking at Christa who was riding in the lead, You Ling said to the Dark Duelist riding beside him, "Don't say it's mean. This is a fight for survival. Using all means is a survival instinct."

"Little boy, tell me your real name."

"You Ling."

"You Ling, huh? That's right. Then this riding duel will decide not only the winner but also life and death."

"My turn, draw a card!"

Christa, who was in the lead, drew the card for the start of the riding duel round.

Scanning the six cards in the D-wheel card slot, Krista turned back to glance at You Ling behind her.

"You Ling, let him see our cooperation, which is connected by the fate of Stardust!"

"Well, go ahead, Krista!"

"I Normal Summon in Defense Mode - [Front Runner]!"

[Leader ★★★★ (4 stars) Wind] [Mechanical / Adjustment / Effect ATK: 1100 DEF: 800]

[As long as this card is face-up on the field, all face-up Synchro Monsters on your field gain 600 ATK.]

Throwing the summon card to the side of the D wheel, the mechanical monster running on the burning track seemed to have reconfirmed the card name, and Christa was currently in the leading riding position.

"Then use the effect of [Quick Attack Synchro] in your hand. Discard [Female Ninja Yae] and Special Summon this card!"

[This card can send 1 monster from your hand to the Graveyard, and Special Summon it from your hand.]

[Speedy Attack Synchro ★★★★★ (5*) Wind] [Machine Type/Adjustment/Effect ATK: 700 DEF: 1400]

After sending the card to the graveyard, Christa Special Summoned the second Tuner Monster on the field in Defense Mode.

The combination of a cowboy cape, a hat and a pistol makes him look surprisingly handsome even though he is only a 2-head-tall man.

However, if there are two Tuner monsters, it is definitely impossible to perform a Synchro Summon.

"Finally I cover 3 cards, and the turn ends!"

Christa Shia, who had used up all her hand cards in one round, did not choose to perform a Synchro Summon. Instead, she chose to leave the two Tuner monsters for You Ling at the beginning of the next round, becoming a qualified auxiliary.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Riding Alternation, after the Dark Duelist draws a card, the high-speed indicator and the speed of the D wheel in the preparation phase are increased at the same time.

Dark Duelist SPC: 0 → 1

Yu Ling & Krista SPC: 0 → 1

If you only have 1 high speed indicator, you can only do so much, which is why everyone wants to take the initiative as much as possible.

However, the Dark Duelist, under the restriction of being the last player, still activated the High-Speed ​​Magic Card.

"Activate [High Speed ​​Magic Card - Upshift], increasing both players' high speed counters by 1!"

Use the effect of the high-speed magic card itself to increase the speed of the D wheel of both sides in the high-speed world.

Dark Duelist SPC: 1 → 2

Yu Ling & Krista SPC: 1 → 2

Although it was a loss of a card, the activation of this card also allowed the Dark Duelist to successfully obtain the most critical 2 high-speed counters in the next turn.

Next is the classic and practical 2-point SPC high-speed magic representative.

"Activate [High Speed ​​Magic Card - Angel Scepter]! When your High Speed ​​Counter is 2 or more, draw 2 cards from your deck, then discard 1 card from your hand!"

The filtering effect of the little angel's charity allowed the dark duelist to successfully draw the key card from the deck that seemed to be burning with purple-red earthbound flames.

"I discard the monster [Earthbound God Uru] from my hand!"

"Earthbound God?!"

Seeing the Earthbound God Card that the Dark Duelist blatantly discarded, You Ling and Krista both showed a hint of surprise.

Throwing high-star monsters that need to be summoned to the graveyard is usually done in conjunction with the graveyard's resurrection effect to perform a special summon that ignores the sacrifices for the higher-level summon.

In Mountable Duel, we are still at the stage of 2 high-speed indicators. At present, there should be no high-speed magic card that can directly revive high-star monsters from the graveyard.

unless……

"Magic card activated - [Resurrection of the Dead]!"

Unless you directly activate a normal magic card and bear the cost of 2000 points of damage from the high-speed world.

Dark Duelist LP: 4000 → 2000

In the first round, his health points were cut in half. The pain he endured in the dark game could distort the expression of a dark duelist, but it could not distort his determination to summon God even at the cost of his life.

The holy light of resurrection that infuses vitality forms a strange and sharp contrast with the ominous Nazca paintings burning fiercely on the earth.

"Feel the earth's wailing for the past 50 years! The accumulated resentment of destruction will awaken the gods sealed in the earth and ignite Uru's anger!"

The purple-red Nazca track now appears on the ground in the shape of a spider.

"Resurrect from the earth! Special Summon - [Earthbound God Uru]!"

[Earthbound God Uru ★★★★★★★★★★ (10 stars) Dark] [Insect Type/Effect ATK: 3000 DEF: 3000]

Different from the two Earthbound God monsters summoned yesterday, the giant spider Earthbound God materialized and crawled on the burning earth. Its huge black body was connected to eight claws that could crush the ground.

"Is this the earthbound monster that everyone is talking about?"

Looking up at the giant spider above the ground, although Christa had never actually seen the Earthbound God, she had heard of this dark god sleeping in the earth from other students of Star Carving Academy who had encountered the Dark Riding Duel.

It is this kind of existence that has caused the students of Xingke Academy to not even dare to step out of the school gate in recent times.

The common effect of Earthbound God is that when the Field Magic Card is on the field, it will not be affected by the opponent's magic or traps, cannot be attacked by the opponent's monsters, and can directly attack the opponent's players.

It forms a near-perfect combination with the [High-Speed ​​World] that cannot be left during a riding duel.

Directly attack for 3000 damage, which is why the Dark Duelist would rather consume half of his health points and special summon the Earthbound God in the first round.

And even if it only has 2000 life points left, as long as the Earthbound God is on the field, the Dark Duelist will not be affected by attacks from the opponent's monsters.

"Fight, in the dark riding duel, bear the wrath of this land!"

The Spider Earthbound God raised its sharp giant claws and crushed and stomped, aiming at the D-wheel of Christa who was riding in the front.

"I don't want to bear this kind of anger."

The girl Krista was concentrating on running forward. She didn't even look back at the huge spider Earthbound God that was angrily stomping at her. She just calmly opened the trap card covering her D wheel.

The universal effect of the Earthbound God, this is the key information brought back by other students from Xingke Academy.

If the Magic Stone had not gone berserk, sooner or later, Krista would have found an opportunity to personally deal with the Dark Duelist and the Earthbound God and avenge the classmates who were injured in the Riding Duel.

Therefore, when dealing with the Earthbound God, it is very important to invest in countermeasure cards to target the unreasonable direct attacks.

"——Activate the Continuous Trap Card [Soul Barrier]!"

[Soul Barrier Continuous Trap Card Effect: As long as there is a monster on your field, the battle damage to the controller of this card becomes 0.]

Behind Christa, who rode without looking back, a continuous trap card representing immunity to battle damage was lifted. The barrier of the soul firmly withstood the trampling of the giant spider earthbound god.

"As long as I have a monster on the field, I won't take battle damage due to the effect of the Continuous Trap Card [Soul Barrier]. In this way, the effect of the Earthbound God's direct attack is blocked!"

In a duel with 4000 health points, the unreasonable direct attack of the Earthbound God, combined with his impressive attack power, is indeed the biggest threat.

And just by using the card [Soul Barrier], the biggest threat of direct attack from the Earthbound God can be eliminated.

You Ling also took this into account and put this card into his deck.

But what You Ling didn't expect was that Krista actually started it first.

"Great job, Krista!"

Krista smiled and responded: "You Ling, in this duel, I will let you feel how reliable I am!"

After Ika blocked the direct attack of the Earthbound God, Christa still maintained her speed in the lead riding.

"Did you choose a trap card specifically to stop the Earthbound God? But that's not enough. If you think you can win this duel just by doing that, you're too naive!"

The attack of God was neutralized by the Soul Trap, and the Dark Duelist, who ended the battle phase, selected two cards from the pitch-black D-wheel slot and fell onto the burning Riding Duel track.

"I cover two cards, turn ends!"

"Just a trap to stop the Earthbound God? There's more to it than that!"

At the exact moment when the Dark Duelist ended his turn, Christa revealed the second trap card covering the backfield.

"——Activate Trap Card [Big Sand Tornado]!"

[Sand Tornado Trap Card Effect: You can activate this card by targeting 1 Magic/Trap Card on your opponent's field. Destroy that card. After that, you can Set 1 Magic/Trap Card from your hand.]

Place it in advance to replace the Trap Cyclone of the Quick Attack Magic in the Mounted Duel. You can destroy the opponent's placed cards at the end of the round to gain an advantage for the next round's attack.

"I will destroy the card on your leftmost side!"

A sandstorm was stirred up on the burning track of the Riding Duel, instantly crushing the unknown card that had just been placed.

Trap Card [Filthy Earth] Destroy

This is a Trap Card that the Dark Duelist used in his previous duel with Yurei. When your Level 5 or higher monster is destroyed by an effect, you can Special Summon another Earthbound God in your deck.

Hummingbird's Earthbinder has been taken away by You Ling, so the Ape's Earthbinder should still be left in the Dark Duelist's deck.

By destroying this Trap Card in advance, Christa was effectively preventing the Special Summoning of the second Earthbound God.

The more difficult a person is as an opponent, the more reliable he is as a teammate.

Especially when this reliable teammate is a beautiful girl, and is devoted to you and only wants to assist you and create opportunities for you.

You Ling only felt that his gaming experience in riding duels had been greatly improved.

Christa continued, "The Trap Card [Sand Tornado] has another effect. After activating it, you can select 1 Magic or Trap Card in your hand and set it."

This is a hidden effect that is rarely used, but since Krista has used up all her cards in the first round, if this effect is to be applied, it will depend on the cards in Youling's hand.

"I'll give it to you, You Ling."

"I know, Krista!"
