Dark Duel, as the chairman, I have no choice but to take part in it myself!

"And Eleanor only has one magician monster in her graveyard right now, and that is [Demon of Sacrifice - Anima]!"

"At the same time, since Eleanor activated the effect of the Magician-type, she can chain activate the remaining 1 effect of the Proxy Master, which is to select a card on the field and destroy it."

You Xian paused for a moment when he said this, then made a "one" gesture.

It was as if he was not counting the effect of the acting master but rather announcing the countdown of the opponent's life, and now the opponent's life has come to an end.

So it's time to destroy the opponent...!

"Of course Eleanor chose you, Midrash."

"Although you have resistance to effect destruction, my glass witch has already nullified your effects, and all of your effects, including resistance to effect destruction, have been wiped out."

"So even you will fall into the graveyard under the effect of this."

"This...can't be—"

The acting master and the witch girls behind her raised their staffs together, and the azure magic power formed into scorching light cannons, which then gushed out from the green crystal ball.

The light cannon flashed across the entire duel arena like lightning, flying towards the direction of Midrash, as if to crush everything here.

But Midrash was not afraid. For her and all the Shadows, being sent to the cemetery was as easy as going home.

But she felt unwilling to leave so easily.

That damn fusion monster was more troublesome than she had imagined. None of the three different effects were useless. In a sense, they could even be used in combination. It was not as weak as she had imagined.

Thinking of this, Midrash tightly grasped his dim staff and watched the light cannon gradually approaching him.

Is she going to lose? No, she won't... Even if there are only two trash who are not even Shadow's Will left on the field, her duel will definitely not end here.

Next round, as long as I can hold on until the next round...

The opponent only has one card in hand, and the Normal Summon has already been used, so it is impossible to kill her directly in this turn.

But what exactly is going on with this uneasy feeling?

Midrash leaned tightly against his 'mount', his forearms trembling slightly, as if he had already guessed the outcome.

When the light cannon actually hit, Midrash, which had lost its resistance to destruction, fell into the dark cemetery just as Youxian had expected.

However, she was back in the duelist area opposite Eleanor the next moment.

Obviously, this duel will not be forcibly ended just because the duelists are destroyed, so they have to continue fighting.

You Xian didn't have any special reaction to this. He continued to order his "Duel Disk" to process the effects that had not been completed before.

"The effect of Proxy Master has been dealt with, so now we need to deal with the effect of Jewel Witch and Special Summon Anima from the Graveyard."

"Since it is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, Eleanor can directly place Anima in the Main Monster Zone, and now we need to place it opposite your Gravity Controller."

"Could it be that--"

At this moment, Eleanor finally understood what You Xian wanted to do.

"Yes, since Eleanor has adjusted the position of Anima so that its arrow points directly at Gravity Controller, we can directly activate Anima's effect and turn Gravity Controller into Anima's Equipment Card."

"And let Anima rise to the attack of [Gravity Controller], which is 1000 points."

"Xiaomi, let your power become a part of me!"

The green weird-looking monster extended four slippery tentacles from its body, directly tied up the man in the Midrash EX Monster Zone, then forcibly dragged him to its side and directly "swallowed" him into its body. Its ugly body kept twitching, as if the man was still trying to struggle.

Unfortunately, all these struggles were in vain, as he was destined to become the power of Anima.

Midrash's pupils dilated slightly and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly. She watched the scene motionlessly, but she could do nothing at the moment.

Ominous premonitions continued to emerge, and her intuition was warning her that she was about to face failure again.

And it was the most humiliating failure.

"Now - let's go straight to the battle phase."

Chapter 37: The ‘Weak’ Midrash

This duel has officially come to an end. The Midrash's field has only one interwoven sheep that looks unthreatening and more like a cute sheep.

Of course, the poor sheep is now also hanging there by two different lines, one symbolizing the power of the Midrash and the other the restraints of the Glass Witch.

Opposite the Midrash, there are three different monsters standing on Yuxian and Eleanor's field.

In the center were the witch masters, who were glaring at the glass witches beside them. As for Anima's body, it was twitching all the time, which might mean that it was still in the process of "digestion".

The wandering string swayed left and right above the magic circle that was flashing with blue light.

At this point, his victory has been completely confirmed. All he has to do next is to let all the monsters on his field attack, and his victory will be within his grasp.

He wanted to directly order Eleanor to attack, but after tilting his head and glancing at the Midrash, he gave up the idea.

“I’m actually curious, Midrash.”

"Why if you have all those weird extras, why not try to add some powerful small axis system?"

"For example, if we add these powerful small axes to single axes like Tutor and Summoner, maybe we can fight for two more rounds."

"..."

Midrash lowered her head, still tightly holding her dim staff in her hand. Due to the shadows around her, Youxian couldn't see her expression clearly: "What does this have to do with you? Attack if you want."

"Anyway, you still can't reduce my health to zero with the only monsters you have now."

"Even if that fusion monster can attack twice, and I only have one monster on the field, I will still have some life left."

Midrash's voice was very cold, and Youxian could even feel the coldness in her heart at the moment.

"That's not the case. Now watch my performance and I will let you know how you will be defeated by me."

"First, Eleanor will have the deputy master on the field attack your only [Interwoven Sheep] on the field."

You Xian pointed at the monster on the Midrash field that was wrapped in various puppets and magic threads, indicating to the witch master that it was the next target.

The girls once again gathered their strength together, finally forming a scorching light cannon.

"And when the damage is resolved, Eleanor can activate another effect of Glass Witch. When the damage calculation of the battle between the Sorcerer-Type monster on your field and the opponent's monster is completed, you can show the magic card with a different card name in your hand."

"After that, until the End Phase, the Attack and Defense of that Spellcaster-Type monster increases by the number of Spell Cards displayed x 1000."

"Eleanor shows another Witch's Slowdown in her hand, and increases the Attack Power of the Deputy Master on the field by 1000 points, so her Attack Power is now 3700 points."

"you--"

Midrash suddenly raised his little head, staring at Youxian who was still smiling opposite him, but his right leg moved back half a step unnaturally.

She finally understood where that ominous premonition came from.

If the monsters on the field before could not pose a real threat to her, then... the acting master's increased attack power of 1,000 points was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Unfortunately, she was powerless at this point. She no longer had any ability to resist, and the interwoven sheep could not possibly serve as a qualified shield to help her resist fatal damage.

"Because I activated the effect of [Witch's Art Cooperation] on the acting master earlier, she can attack twice."

"Now, acting master, please destroy the [Interwoven Sheep] for me."

Although she was very reluctant, the Glass Witch, whose mind was full of idle thoughts, still followed the girls and raised the crystal staff, which made their light cannons even brighter and as dazzling as the sun.

The light cannon shot out immediately, destroying the interwoven sheep and directly hitting Midrash's body, but it didn't seem to have much impact on her.

[Midrash HP: 8000-5000]

Is that so? It’s like this in the end... Even though the chairman this time was only using an ordinary student’s deck, she couldn’t break through this shackles.

I lost again, but I should get used to this, right? So what? It's over... Anyway, it's going to end.

After Youxian successfully destroyed Midrash's only monster, he did not continue to attack, but once again asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

"So, what on earth are you thinking about? Midrash."

"Something has been bothering you, and I'm very curious about it."

"Besides...I don't want my future partner to be someone who is always worried. Can you satisfy my curiosity?"

On the other side of him, Midrash still stood there, leaning on his staff like a mindless puppet.

She became more taciturn and even gave people a gloomy feeling.

Since this was not a true Dark Game, although Midrash was hurt, she did not suffer the shock of the Dark Game.

Facing her silence, You Xian could only shake his head helplessly: "You still don't want to say it?"

"Okay, acting master, attack directly."

"It was clearly a normal duel, but it felt to me like they were bullying the weak and forcing a confession."

“It’s a pretty weird feeling.”

However, just when Youxian thought that Midrash would quietly admit his defeat...

The energy around her began to flow again, and she suddenly became extremely excited, as if something You Xian said had finally stimulated a sensitive point in her.

She lowered her head, her body half suspended in the air like a puppet.

Then, she slowly raised her head, and her eyes turned into a purple-black color similar to the one she used to control the puppet, which seemed to indicate that she had entered a special state.

He pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile that was not so pretty, but rather a little hideous.

Then the smile became more and more exaggerated, and finally turned into a creepy laugh.

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha."

She hung her head and placed it directly on her shoulders, which made the Midrash look even more gloomy and terrifying.

"Weak? Yes, I am weak like that!"

"I'm just a fusion monster from the old days, and Shaddoll is just a regular old fusion deck."

"Since I am so weak, why do you still come to me?"

Chapter 38 Please Be My Puppet Master...

She staggered forward two steps, her hands still tightly holding her staff, as if she was embracing everything she had.

"You came here without permission to pass the so-called trial, and when the trial was over, you thought I was not strong enough and abandoned me."

"'There will definitely be someone more suitable for you', you will say this to me in the end anyway, right?"

"After all, I am so weak, how can I be worthy of joining your deck?"

Youxian had no intention of speaking at this time. He just stood there, silently waiting for Midrash to vent his emotions.

After she finally calmed down, You Xian considered his tone and spoke slowly.

"Why do you think that? Do you think that having the effect of restricting special summons is weak?"

"Or do you think that the fusion ability of the deck without self-restraint is flawed?"

However, Midrash was not shaken by Yuxian's words or two.

Long-standing obsessions and entanglements cannot be covered up by a simple word or two of comfort.

Or maybe someone has already said something similar to her, but her current situation has not changed much.

She is still part of that unwanted ancient deck, and successive directors came here only out of momentary curiosity.

After easily defeating her, you will gradually lose interest in her...

Perhaps, this is where the old-era decks belong.

"Times have changed. Being powerful for a while doesn't mean anything."

"As time goes by...all decks will be gradually replaced by stronger and newer decks."

"Even if it's Shaddoll... it's just the dust of time."

That's why I've been kept here.

It will probably continue like this in the future.

After the explosive venting, the sound of Midrash finally gradually became smaller, and even gave Youxian a feeling of "weakness" for the first time.

She wanted to cry, not because Shadow-Dear itself had gradually fallen behind the times, but because she felt sad for herself.

She knew that she would continue to stay in this place until the end of time, forever immersed in this eternal loneliness.

But she was just a puppet and not a real person, so there were no tears.
