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

SCP: 5 → 6

The second round of card drawing after Demons locked You Ling to 1 life point was not high-speed magic.

It seems that there really is some kind of higher-level will in the dark that is preventing this [high-speed world] from killing.

That last point of health is related to the survival of mankind. The will of the earth must directly break through the will of mankind in order to finally win.

"Since we have to fight, let's fight until the last moment!"

Demons used his strong arms to smash the Adjustment Monster Card in his hand onto the field.

"——Normal Summon as an attack! [Earthbound Prisoner Earth Warden]!"

[Earthbound Prisoner Earth Guardian★Dark] [Demon/Adjustment/Effect ATK:300DEF:400]

The dark earthbound monster slowly walked out from the burning Nazca paintings in the sky.

"When there is a Field Magic Card, the Synchro Summon of Earthbound Prisoner Earth Warden can use the "Earthbound" monster in the Graveyard as Synchro Material!"

In the Demons Cemetery, a level 5-star [Earthbound Prisoner Boulder Cleaner] emerges from the cemetery, and a total of level 6 Synchro Stars explode with special effects in the Riding Duel Track.

"The will of the earth is surging at this moment, the knight galloping in the sky! ——Synchronize Summon [Knight of the Earth - Gaia]!"

[Knight of the Earth - Gaia ★★★★★★ (6*) Earth] [Warrior/Synchronous ATK: 2600 DEF: 800]

Gaia, the Earth Knight who rides his warhorse in the sky, is summoned by the Synchro Summoning of the Will of the Earth and breaks through the Synchro Brilliance of the Stars with his spear.

"It's time to fight! Since the will of the earth and humans are unwilling to give in to each other, let's use the clash of battle to decide the winner here!"

Riding two monsters, Demons declared to enter the battle phase of this round.

The giant Earthbound God floating in the sky track took the lead in swinging its thick black arms, bypassing the existence of the Meteor Dragon and launching a direct attack on You Ling riding in front.

"When there is a Field Magic Card, Earthbound God can directly attack the opponent's player! ——'Earthbound Punch'!"

The Earthbound God, who could even shatter space, punched hard at the D-wheel that Youling was riding.

You Ling swung his hand back and declared, "When you attack, the effect of [Meteor Dragon] will be activated!"

[Once per turn, you can activate this card by targeting an attacking monster when your opponent declares an attack. This card on the field is excluded, and that attack is negated.]

"I banish the Meteor Dragon on the field! I negate the attack of [Earthbound God Kapak Apu]!"

The Earthbound God is not affected by the effects of Magic and Trap Cards, so if you want to negate its attacks, you can only rely on the effects of monsters.

The [Meteor Dragon] that accelerates synchronization has exactly this effect.

Except for itself, it transformed into stardust particles with dense and brilliant light. The stardust illusion of the meteor dragon and the destructive fist of the giant earthbound god collided in the sky and canceled each other out.

Except for Meteor Dragon

【Earthbound God Kapak Apu】attack is invalid

"But then there won't be any monsters on your field!"

Demons continued his attack declaration during the combat phase.

Gaia, the Earth Knight, was galloping at high speed in the sky, and with a shot that tore through the Galloping Wind, he shot directly at You Ling, who was left empty on the field after the Meteor Dragon was eliminated.

"Charge, Gaia! - 『Earth Spiral Gun』!"

At this moment, Demons' roar seemed to have poured the will of the earth into the spear.

"The will of mankind and the hope of Stardust are shattered!"

"You Ling!" Seeing You Ling, who only had 1 health point left, being attacked head-on, even Krista broke out in a cold sweat.

However, the spirally pulverized spear tip did not actually touch You Ling's body. The front end of the spear tip was blocked by the golden stardust particles that spread out of thin air.

"This is it!" Demons asked in surprise: "Stardust, is it still not extinguished?"

"Stardust will not go out!" You Ling flipped open the cover card: "Activate the Cover Trap Card! - [Flashing Star Standing on the Land of Falling Stars]!"

[Effect of the Starfall Trap Card: When the opponent's monster declares a direct attack, you can only activate this card if the monster's attack power is greater than your basic points. The damage to yourself becomes 0 points, and you draw 1 card from your deck. After that, you can select 1 "Stardust" monster from your Extra Deck or Graveyard to Special Summon.]

"After negating this battle damage, I draw a card from my deck! And, Special Summon "Stardust" from the Extra Deck!"

The stardust particles that were originally just faintly diffused on the tip of Earth Knight Gaia's spear now continuously poured out from the tip of the spear.

The dense stardust light reproduced the final summons of the Stardust Dragon on the game field.

"A ray of light that cuts through the sea of ​​stars! Let the pulse of the soul roar in the world! Special Summon! Flash Dragon Stardust!"

[Shining Dragon Stardust ★★★★★★★★ (8 stars) Light] [Dragon Family/Synchronize/Effect ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000]

"That's Krista's stardust!" Lost from the Star Academy was shocked by the stardust light that was so familiar to her.

As the signature Stardust Dragon of the girl Christa Shia, when [Flash Dragon Stardust] officially appeared on the game field, it represented the beliefs of both parties, truly becoming one.

"Krista, it looks like she's completely fallen." Qingyao commented in a low voice.

Of course, don't forget that in addition to the effect of special summoning "Stardust" monsters, the trap card [Flash Standing in the Land of Falling Stars] can also give Youling a very critical card draw.

You Ling already had a premonition of the result of his pull.

The power emerging from the cards is simply too enormous.

Just by placing it at the top of the deck, You Ling could feel the unreasonable fear of the abyss that seemed to be able to swallow up everything.

"Draw a card!"

Card drawing premonition——Kami!

The card that You Ling drew through the trap card [Flashing Star Standing on the Land of Falling Stars] is the strongest evil god card - [Evil God - Incarnation of God].

Yu Ling, who was engaging the Evil God in actual combat for the first time, could clearly feel it just by holding the cards in his hand.

It was not that he was holding the Evil God's Card, but his own soul that was held by the Evil God.

The contract duel provided by the Evil God Card, if you lose this duel, your soul will definitely be devoured.

"I can't lose this duel... No, I can't lose anymore!"

You Ling had devised an invincible winning combo, and the moment he got the [Evil God - Incarnation of God] card, the balance of victory and defeat in this duel was already settled by him.

At this time, Demons, the god with the name of destruction, who was riding on the Vulture D in the sky, had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.

But based on his intuition as a god, he still felt that You Ling's card drawing was unusual.

"What kind of card did you draw?!"

The overwhelming pressure actually made even a god like me feel a little... fear?

Is this emotion fear?

After anger, Demons had another emotion, and he was being brought closer to the level of humans by You Ling.

You Ling smiled and responded, "I drew out the winning card!"

"A winning card?" Demons sternly retorted, "That's ridiculous. There is no such thing as a winning card!"

After the two monsters completed their attacks, Demons declared the end of the battle phase of this round and covered the remaining cards.

"I cover 2 cards, turn ends!"

"At the end of your turn, the Meteor Dragon that was removed from the game will return to the field!"

Reforged with the light of stardust, the Meteor Dragon blocked the crucial attack of the Earthbound God for You Ling in this round, and once again flew magnificently in the sky of the riding duel.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Now that You Ling has completed the victory combo, what he needs to do is to accelerate and sprint towards the end of the riding duel!

"Let's fight!"

This turn, You Ling did not activate the effect of [Meteor Dragon] to flip the card five times in a row.

It is not so easy to create a miracle a second time, and the [Meteor Dragon] itself cannot attack the giant's earthbound god.

You Ling's tactical change has shifted the chips that determine victory or defeat.

"Go ahead, Meteor Dragon! Attack the opponent's [Earth Knight - Gaia]!"

A meteor's strike cut through the sky. This was the only battle that You Ling could fight in this round.

But this was the only battle that could be fought, and Demons had already anticipated it and set a trap in advance.

"——Activate the Trap Card [Dimensional Prison]!"

[Dimensional Prison Trap Card Effect: Can only be activated when the opponent's monster declares an attack. The attacking monster is removed from play.]

"I will send the meteor dragon you attacked directly to another dimension! Disappear now, meteor that gathers hope!"

Except for Meteor Dragon

The dimensional space shattered and opened in the trajectory of the Meteor Dragon's attack, and this time it was excluded and sent to another dimension and would not return.

Although the light of the meteor was extinguished, in You Ling's opinion, the [Meteor Dragon] that reduced Demons' health points from 8000 to only 1000 and accelerated synchronization had perfectly extended the possibility of reversal.

"It's now up to the other Stardust. Keep fighting!"

"Keep fighting?!"

You Ling's second battle declaration shocked everyone.

The monster currently on the field, Shining Dragon Stardust, has an attack power of 2500 points.

The lowest attack power of Demons on the field, [Knight of the Earth - Gaia], has 2600 points.

"The target of attack is Gaia, the Knight of the Earth! The effect of [Flashing Dragon Stardust] is activated! — [Wave Sound Wall]!"

[Once per turn, select 1 face-up card on your field to activate. The selected card cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects only once this turn. This effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn.]

Cover the surface of its dazzling dragon body with a resistance effect that can't be destroyed once per round.

Surrounded by stardust light, [Shining Dragon Stardust] truly started fighting against [Knight of the Earth - Gaia] as You Ling declared.

"——"Meteor Flash"!"

Although he had no idea what You Ling was planning to do, Demons still fought back without hesitation.

"Too stupid to be reasonable! - 『Earth Spiral Gunshot』!"

The stardust light and the spiral gun once again met in the duel track in the sky.

However, this time, Gaia's attack could not be blocked. The 2600 attack power advantage completely overwhelmed the attack of the Flash Dragon Stardust.

Galloping, Gaia's Spear of the Earth pierces through the flashes of stardust.

"Because the effect of [Flashing Dragon Stardust] will not be destroyed by this battle!"

“Do you think that the one that will be destroyed in battle will be [Flash Dragon Stardust]?” Demons shouted angrily, “Even if it won’t be destroyed in battle, the battle damage still needs to be calculated! The one that will be destroyed will be you!”

In Gaia's battle with Stardust, the combat damage is only 100 points.

But these 100 points of combat damage are already 100 times You Ling's remaining health.

"I didn't expect this meaningless riding duel to end in this way! It's meaningless, completely meaningless! Give me a shot that bears the will of the earth!"

The Earth Knight Gaia's shot successfully penetrated You Ling's D-chakra, and took away the last point of life in the eyes of everyone who couldn't believe it.

Youling LP: 1 → 0

“How could this happen?” Leon asked in surprise, “Isn’t this suicide? How is this different from admitting defeat? Because you can’t win, you finally choose to give up in this way?”

Perhaps there was no hope in this duel from the very beginning.

He naively thought he could save the country, but in the end he only lost his own life.

"No, it's not like that!" Christa, who was at the top of the Earth Vein Tower, shouted with all her might: "This is You Ling's way of fighting. He who carries the stardust will not give up here!"

He has always believed in You Ling, and even when he had 0 health points left, Krista's trust has not been shaken.

"Damn it, the duel is over!" Demons stressed, "The will of mankind has collapsed in that instant. You lose, You Ling!"

"You said that the human will is collapsing? ... Then you better open your eyes, Demons!"

You Ling, whose health points had dropped to 0, was able to turn the tide at this time, an operation that even Demons was shocked.

Turning the impossible into possible, a miracle.

"The will of mankind to survive has never burned as fiercely as it does at this moment!"

The last trap card that You Ling slowly revealed can only be activated after its health points drop to 0.

"——Activate the Trap Card [Soul Relay]!"

[Soul Relay Trap Card Effect: Can only be activated when your life value reaches 0. Special Summon 1 monster from your hand. Your defeat condition becomes that the monster Special Summoned by this effect leaves the field.]
