Want to play cards? I have a great deck!

You Xi casually pulled out a card and glanced at the battle situation which was now clear as day.

"Now that Si-kun has no unknown cover cards in his backfield, I will enter the battle phase. Go, "Dark Knight of the Wind", attack "Captain of the Charge"!"

Volume 34: Chapter The Power of Support

In addition to the activation effect of calling friends, "Captain of the Charge" also has a taunt effect that protects friendly forces.

As long as this monster is on the field, it cannot attack other Warrior monsters. Therefore, Youxi can only attack it first. However, even if there is no such factor, with the "Metallization - Magic Reflection Armor" equipment, he must attack it first.

With a violent neigh, the pitch-black horse galloped wildly on all fours, crossing the Chu River and Han River in a short moment. The charging knight's lance pierced through the swords that blocked it and pierced the captain's chest.

- "Captain of the Charge" destroyed.

[Kujo Tsukasa LP: 4000 → 3400]

"Then cover 1 card and the turn ends."

After defeating the monster, You Xi didn't do anything else and simply announced the rotation.

He asked Jiujo Si: "Can you defeat Gaia this time, Sijun?"

"Tsk, stop looking down on me."

Knowing that he was not in an advantageous position, Kujo Tsukasa still said stubbornly: "It's just a monster of this level. I can destroy it in a minute. It's my turn, draw a card!"

His eyes moved slightly, and the moment he caught a glimpse of the card, he typed it out without waiting a moment.

"Okay! I activate the magic card: "Hammer Strike"!"

"Use this card's effect to destroy the 1 Attack Position monster on the field with the highest ATK!" Kujo Tsukasa said excitedly to Yuki, "The only monster with the highest ATK now is your "Dark Knight of the Wind". How about it, did you see it? This way, we can defeat it!"

"It's too early to be happy."

But You Xi was not flustered when he heard this.

"I want to chain this magic card and open the cover."

"What? No way, could it be that..."

The high emotions were instantly cooled down as if a basin of ice water was poured on them, and Kujo Tsukasa suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Unfortunately, the feeling of uneasiness was not just his imagination.

"Activate the Continuous Trap: Dimension Guardian."

"Target 1 Attack Position monster on your field, and as long as this card is in the Spell or Trap Zone, that monster cannot be destroyed by battle or effect."

As Yuki spoke clearly, a wave of distorted dimension was released from the purple trap card. The wooden hammer in the sky fell down and pierced through the body of the "Dark Knight of the Wind" that was covered by the wave, without causing any damage.

The impact this scene brought to Kujo Tsukasa was even greater.

"You must be kidding... It won't be destroyed by battle effects. Doesn't that mean it's invincible?!"

With high attack power and indestructibility in any way, it is equivalent to obtaining the title of "Immortal King of Fighting". This is too unfair. How can one win?

"Turn 'Command Knight' to Defense Position. End of turn."

For the first time, Kujo Tsukasa panicked, and under Youxi's inquiring gaze he could only follow his instincts and perform the simplest operations - to be honest, this was all he could do now.

What follows will be one-sided devastation.

"It's my turn now. I'll use Gaia to attack the Giant Axe Raider, and kill him with a spiral gun!"

- "Great Axe Raider" destroyed.

[Kujo Tsukasa LP: 3400 → 2800]

"Ugh!"

Yu Xi showed no mercy, and a charge from "Gaia" quickly killed the "Giant Axe Attacker" who was punished by the "Curse of the Hexagram". The fragments of the monster's destruction flew over, forcing Kujo Tsukasa to close his eyes.

Because the "Captain" was destroyed, the effectiveness of the "United Forces" decreased, and the damage suffered by Kujo Tsukasa also increased.

However, this level of loss is not something to worry about. What is really worth worrying about is――

"My turn is over. Now, the only one left on your field is Command Knight, Si-kun."

You Xi reminded: "If you still can't come up with a solution in the next round..."

"Damn it! I know!"

Kujo Tsukasa interrupted Yuki, his voice filled with anxiety.

Of course he knew how bad his current situation was.

Command Knight can only attack once more, which means he only has two turns left, and that's the maximum. If Yuki draws some cards like Hammer Strike that can destroy monsters in the next turn, it will be over. This duel will end in his humiliating defeat.

But what can be done to overturn this situation?

Unexpected.

No matter how hard he tried, Kujo Tsukasa couldn't think of a way to defeat "Gaia" which was protected by the "Dimension Guardian".

This kind of monster is beyond his ability to deal with.

"Damn it, is this the end..."

Kujo Tsukasa's shoulders shrugged in frustration, and a feeling of failure filled his heart.

In the end, he was still too weak. This was the gap between him and adults...

"Come on, Xiao Si!"

Just as Kujo Tsukasa was about to lower his arms, suddenly, a voice full of encouragement came into his ears from afar.

"Eh?"

The gray-haired boy looked in the direction of the voice and saw the blonde girl with her hands in the shape of trumpets, shouting to him: "Come on! You can do it, Xiao Si! Don't give up, as long as you don't give up the duel is not over yet!"

"Yeah, come on, come on!"

"The Super Peace Busters won't back down just because of this. We are the Super Peace Busters who want to protect world peace!"

"Xiao Si, you are always so cocky, so keep on being cocky!"

"Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on--"

"Xingye, everyone..."

Starting with Xing Yewu's words, a group of cheers came out from the mouths of other children one after another, forming a huge wave that completely drowned the gray-haired boy.

Before the duel started, there were still many people supporting You Xi, but at this moment, they all stood behind Kujo Tsukasa in unison.

Kujo Tsukasa widened his eyes slightly.

"Si Jun said that one's own strength is enough for a duel, which is essentially correct."

As if the whole world had suddenly made him their enemy, You Xi whispered softly, "However, support from others is also very important. In the process of becoming a professional duelist, you will definitely gain a group of fans who follow you. I think this is both pressure and motivation. People like us can also gain strength to move forward from this support."

"Tsk, stop talking nonsense. Everyone knows this truth."

"Maybe."

You Xi shrugged, opened his eyes and smiled at Zheng Tai: "So, Si Jun, do you have the strength to continue the duel now?"

"..."

It's incredible.

Kujo Tsukasa didn't notice until Youxi reminded him.

He didn't know when, but his mood became much calmer, and even when he looked at the deck again, it was not as scary as he had imagined before.

Not only that――

"Oh, I see... there's another trick."

As if receiving a revelation from heaven, a flash of lightning flashed through Shota's mind, illuminating all the dark fog.

There is one more card. How could he have forgotten that there is one more card in his deck that can achieve a reversal?

The question is, can I draw it in the next round?

"come on, come on, come on!"

Kujo Tsukasa's momentary hesitation was shattered by the encouraging sound of the wave.

"Tsk, I have to draw it, otherwise, wouldn't it be too embarrassing? It's my turn!!!"

Kujo Tsukasa gave himself the last bit of courage by shouting, and used the last bit of strength in his small body to pull out the card.

"I put down 1 cards, and the turn ends."

"It's my turn now, draw a card."

"At this moment, activate the trap card――"

Before Youxi could take any action, the card that Kujo Tsukasa had just sealed stood up quickly.

"Switch Heroes!"

Volume 35: Chapter What a Joyful Duel

"Swap Hero (Usually Trap)

①: If both teams have the same number of monsters on the field, control of all those monsters will be exchanged.

It was neither combat destruction nor effect destruction. What Kujo Tsukasa chose was a completely new path.

This path can not only eliminate the threat posed by the "Dark Knight of the Wind", but also...

"This is my last struggle! Now there is only one monster on my field and one on your field, so the control of these monsters is exchanged!"

The scene is reversed.

It was as if the characters separated by storyboards in the animation had their perspectives flipped in an instant, the "Dark Knight of the Wind" and the "Command Knight" reversed their positions and exchanged the lords they served.

"In this way, "Dark Knight of the Wind" is my trump card! Because of your trap card effect, it will not be destroyed by battle and effects. Now it's your turn to deal with this situation!" said Kujo Tsukasa in high spirits.

Being able to trick You Xi in this way made him very happy.

Through this, Kujo Tsukasa also saw the hope of victory.

As long as he makes good use of the "Dark Knight of the Wind" that gave him such a headache before and takes over the city, even defeating Youxi will no longer be a dream.

"You are amazing, Si Jun. You took out this card at this critical moment."

You Xi looked at this scene in silence, then burst into laughter.

This exchange was undoubtedly a loss for him, and it was a loss for his grandma. But...

"But you're not the only one who drew a good card. Let me get serious too. I'll sacrifice "Command Knight" and Advanced Summon "Devil Summon"!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the "Command Knight" disappeared, and a pale skeleton demon appeared in its place. It was the monster that was once known as the "King of Single Sacrifice" and had previously ravaged Satomi Sho's two followers.

"Devil Summon, Level 6 / Dark / Devil" "ATK: 2500 / DEF: 1200"

"Another monster with 2500 attack power was summoned all at once..."

Jiujo Tsukasa's breathing became tense for a moment, and then he remembered something and emphasized: "But even if the attack power is 2500, it is still no match for Gaia!"

"It doesn't matter. There is no need to defeat it."

You Xi pinched his last card between the fingers of his right hand and gently inserted it into the card slot of the Magic Trap.

The stereoscopic imaging system started to work, and the emerald green card was projected in front of him.

"I activate the magic card: "Owner's Seal"."

"According to the effect of this card, control of all monsters on the field will return to their original owner."

Following You Xi's voice, a pentagram-shaped magic circle unfolded on the ground.

The magic circle rippled, and Gaia's eyes lit up when he touched the ripples. It seemed that at this moment he finally remembered who his real master was, and he jumped back to Youxi's position.

"What? You took the monster back again?"

Kujo Tsukasa realized that something was wrong, but it was too late to save the situation.
