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

"It's okay, Krista!"

You Ling and the girl on the D wheel exchanged a firm look.

"You Ling?"

"It's okay, I won't lose!"

"No no no, You Ling, you misunderstood!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

Regardless of whether You Ling had misunderstood or not, he couldn't possibly ask You Ling to lose the duel on purpose.

Even if they were to lose, it would be a defeat in the Story of Light after fully burning the duelist's soul and fighting to their heart's content.

"——Activate the quick-attack magic card [Burial from Another Dimension]!"

[Burial from Another Dimension: Effect of a fast-play magic card: Select up to 3 monster cards removed from the game, and return them to the graveyard.]

"I will return [Damage Devourer], [Rogue Synchron], and [Flash Dragon Stardust] to the Graveyard from the Banished Area!"

Pull all three cards in your excluded area back to the graveyard, and the recast Stardust Light will shine brightly with the Holy Dragon in the graveyard as the medium.

"I activate the effect of [Holy Dragon Stardust Zero] in the graveyard!"

[Exclude this card from your Graveyard, and target 1 Level 8 or lower "Stardust" monster in your Graveyard. Special Summon that monster.]

"Break through the sea of ​​stars with a ray of light, and revive and fly again, Flashing Dragon Stardust!"

[Sparkling Dragon Stardust ATK: 2500]

With the help of the triangle acceleration synchronization effect of the Holy Dragon, the Flashing Dragon Stardust returned to the zero field and faced each other with the two top magic dragons.

"It's useless, You Ling!" With his hands across his chest, Lost was as steady as a rock in the flames: "The double synchronization of the 12 stars, this is no longer a force that [Sparkling Dragon Stardust] can contend with!"

"Humph, my counterattack is just about to begin, Lost!"

You Ling pulled out a card with his fingertips, and Normal Summoned the monster retrieved by [Tuning] in the previous turn and threw it onto the field.

"Go ahead, [Junk Synchron]!"

[Junk Synchronizer ★★★ (3*) Dark] [Warrior/Adjustment/Effect ATK: 1300 DEF: 500]

The short and fat orange can, the 3-star Adjustment Monster Junk Synchro, materialized and appeared on the field.

"Then when the Normal Summon succeeds, the effect of Junk Synchro will be activated!"

[When this card is successfully summoned, you can activate this effect by targeting 1 Level 2 or lower monster in your Graveyard. That monster is Special Summoned in Defense Position. The effect of the monster Special Summoned by this effect is negated.]

"I will Special Summon the Level 2 monster [Damage Eater] from the Banished Zone in the Graveyard, and then Synchro it with the Waste!"

Pulling the air pump behind him, he accelerated to become a waste Synchro with three synchronization halos, shuttled through the damage devourer, and accumulated star-level bursts of synchronization light.

3★! +2★! =5★!

"The gathered starlight will awaken new power and turn into a shining path! Synchro Summon - Junk Warrior!"

[Junk Warrior ★★★★★ Dark] [Warrior/Synchronize/Effect ATK: 2300 DEF: 1300]

The air pump accelerated and leaped out of the synchronized light. The junk warrior, with his white scarf fluttering in the scorching airflow, did a handsome split under the sunset sky.

"It's actually the Junk Warrior?" Lost opened his eyes slightly, looking surprised.

"That's right! This is the most suitable monster to decide the outcome of this soul battle, Lost!"

If Stardust is the trump card of Krista's deck, then Junk Warrior is the real soul card recognized by You Ling.

"Only a useless fist thrown with all its strength can strike the soul directly. Feel it yourself, Lost!"

Riding the Junk Warrior and the Flash Dragon Stardust, You Ling ignored the combat power gap visible to the naked eye and directly declared to enter the battle phase of this round.

"Bakana, what are you going to do, Yu Zero!"

Whether it is the Junk Warrior or the Shining Dragon Stardust, they are far away from the 12-star Double Synchro Dragon.

But You Ling's fighting spirit is genuine.

“Could it be!” Krista, who was the only one who knew the composition of her own deck, reacted: “You Ling, did you draw that card?”

"Let's fight for our souls, Lost!"

You Ling raised his arm and pointed at the junk warrior in the sky, and then his fingertips moved to the burning Yanmo Dragon King on the opponent's field.

"Attack target [Yanmo Dragon King Red Lotus Demon·Evil], charge, junk warriors! - 『Junk Iron Fist』!!"

The materialized golden energy transformed into a fist larger than the Scrap Warrior itself, smashing heavily from the sky towards the burning Yanmo Dragon King.

Lost could have blocked the attack by excluding [True Crimson Nova Dragon] when Yu Zero declared an attack.

But there is no need for that, as the Yanmo Dragon King has a higher attack power, so there is no need to specifically remove the outer True Red Lotus Nova Dragon to defend against the attacks of the Junk Warrior.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lost, who was infected by Yu Ling's passion for duel, also wanted to know what this battle that gambled his soul meant.

"Counterattack, Yanmo Dragon King Crimson Demon. Evil! ——『Destructive Crimson Inferno Cannon』!"

A counterattack declaration was launched, and the flames of the magic dragon and the huge scrap iron fist collided violently under the red sunset sky.

"If you just calculate the battle damage like this, you will definitely lose, You Ling!"

"Of course I won't be so stupid as to destroy myself. Everything depends on this card!"

You Ling threw the card he was holding tightly in his hand high into the sky where the two flying objects were violently colliding with each other.

"——Quick-attack Spell Card [Collision of Souls]!"

[Effect of Soul Quick Attack Magic Card of Collision: It can be activated when your Attack Position Monster and the opponent's Attack Position Monster with higher Attack Power than that monster are fighting for damage calculation. The controller of the monster with lower Attack Power among those fighting monsters can pay 500 Life Points to increase the Attack Power of that monster by 500 only during damage calculation. After that, this effect repeats until both sides do not pay Life Points.]

"According to the effect of [Collision of Souls], I can increase the attack power by continuously paying life points until the attack power of [Junk Warrior] exceeds that of [Yanmo Dragon King Red Lotus Demon·E]!"

You pay life points in units of 500 at a time. Each time you pay, you can increase the attack power of the monster you fight by 500 points.

"I repeatedly paid 4 health points 500 times to increase the Junk Warrior's attack power by 2000 points!"

游零LP：6000→5500→5000→4500→4000

The duelist's own health value is transformed into soul as the Scrap Warrior's attack power. The strengthened Scrap Fist hits the Yanmo Dragon King with a larger size.

【废品战士ATK：2300→2800→3300→3800→4300】

"Is this your purpose, You Ling? Souls colliding with each other!"

Lost opened his eyes wide and looked at the collision between the dragon's flame and the scrap iron fist in the sky.

The useless warrior who was suppressed by Yanmo Dragon King in the previous second, actually pressed forward after being injected with You Ling's "soul".

"This fighting style..."

Lost's fingertips trembled with excitement, and he couldn't help but reach up to the burning sky above.

"This is the fighting style I've always dreamed of, Yu Ling!"

The Quick-Play Magic Card [Collision of Souls] not only increases attack power by paying life points and injecting "souls", but also has another effect that represents its "collision".

The opponent can also increase the attack power of the monster in battle by paying life points.

This is how this card truly demonstrates the collision of souls.

"I will never back down from a clash of souls! I will also pay 500 HP points to increase the attack power of [Yanmo Dragon King Honglian Mo·E] by 500 points!"

Lost LP: 4000 → 3500

[Yanmo Dragon King Red Lotus Demon·Evil ATK: 4000 → 4500]

After Lost paid with his life and injected the burning "soul", the dragon flames in the sky collided with the scrap iron fist, and the situation was reversed again.

"Then I'll continue too, Lost!"

Youling LP: 4000 → 3500

[Junk Warrior ATK: 4300 → 4800]

Overtake!

"I won't stop until my soul burns out, Yu Ling!"

Lost LP: 3500 → 3000

[Yanmo Dragon King ATK: 4500 → 5000]

Overtake again!

You Ling: "It's still a long way to go, Lost!"

Lost: "Of course, Yu Ling! The one who retreats first is the loser!"

The life points were constantly paid and the attack power was surpassed repeatedly. Such a battle scene stunned Quan Qingyao who was hiding in the back.

"What kind of fighting style is this? This is the first time I've seen it!"

In the red sunset sky, it was always the [Yanmo Dragon King Honglian Mo·E] and the [Scrap Iron Warrior] who were constantly fighting and colliding.

However, with the infusion of the souls of the duelists on both sides, the impact of the dragon's flames became more fierce, and the golden special effects of the Wasted Iron Fist gradually increased to an exaggerated level of giant volume.

"This is the final one!"

Youling LP: 1000 → 500

"The collision of souls burns!"

Lost LP: 1000 → 500

The battle was fought with a persistence that surpassed everything. Both sides refused to give in and spent their remaining health points to the point where they could no longer pay.

At the beginning of the round, whether it was You Ling with 6000 health points or Lost with 4000 health points, they both entered the blood-locking state of the decisive battle directly after [Souls Collided with Each Other].

And the ultimate attack power of both sides.

[Yanmo Dragon King Red Lotus Demon·Evil ATK: 7500]

[Junk Warrior ATK: 7800]

You Ling, who had more health points, paid the price of all his souls to make up for the difference in attack power between [Junk Warrior] and the 12-star Double Synchro Dragon, and after reaching the limit, he successfully surpassed it by 300 points.

"I won this clash of souls, Lost!"

The Waste Iron Fist with an attack power of 7800 points is already larger than the size of Yanmo Dragon King and True Red Lotus Nova Dragon combined.

This heavy punch suppressed the opponent and directly smashed the entire field of Lost.

“——『Scrap Metal Soul Fist』!”

The punch that injected all of Yu Ling's soul could be said to be "Soul Energy MAX" in another sense. After the collision and confrontation, it directly destroyed [Yanmo Dragon King Honglian Mo·E]

[Yanmo Dragon King Red Lotus Demon·Evil] Destruction

"When the winner is decided, the final effect of [Souls Colliding] is activated!"

[The battle damage of both parties in that battle becomes 0. After the damage calculation, all cards on the field of the player whose monster was destroyed in that battle are sent to the Graveyard.]

Although this battle will not cause damage, the winner of [Souls Colliding with Each Other] can hit the target with one shot and wipe out the opponent's team through the effect.

The volume of this strike exceeded that of the two dragons' huge scrap iron fists, and it was a genuine double kill.

Even the [True Crimson Nova Dragon], which could not be destroyed by the effect, could not withstand the effect of being directly sent to the graveyard, and disappeared under the [Scrap Metal Soul Fist] that bombarded the entire field.

[True Red Lotus Nova Dragon] Sent to the Graveyard

Quan Qingyao said in panic: "Isn't this completely terrible? Lost, you hot-blooded idiot!"

The whole scene was destroyed by Waste Iron Fist, and You Ling still had [Flash Dragon Stardust] that had not launched an attack, but Lost only had 500 health points left after paying the limit.

If Lost hadn't been like a stubborn idiot and spent his health to the limit together with You Ling, but had left enough health to withstand the attack power of [Shining Dragon Stardust], the battle situation would not have been forced into a desperate situation.

Krista understood: "If I wasn't passionate, I wouldn't be Lost."

With Lost's personality, she would never refuse the "collision of souls". This was also her belief in duels. If she avoided the battle, it would not be her style.

“Hahahaha!” Lost laughed loudly with his head raised. “It’s such a pleasure to duel with you, You Ling! I haven’t had such a satisfying duel in a long time!”

"Same here, Lost!"

You Ling also enjoyed this useless iron punch very much.

"But don't get one thing wrong. The person who is truly cornered is you, You Ling!"

In the field where Lost should have been annihilated, the unyielding red lotus fire ignited once again.

"The will of the demon dragon will penetrate the limits of the soul! This is the effect of [Yanmo Dragon King Red Lotus Demon·Evil]!"
