Want to play cards? I have a great deck!

Someone did a little mental arithmetic and came to this conclusion.

However, Xingye Mai and Izayoi Yuki, who have some knowledge of the "Ancient Machinery" series, know very well that the actual output value is not converted in this way.

Xing Yewu said worriedly: "You Xijun..."

"Enter the combat phase."

With two heavyweight fighters leaning against the back of "ancient machines", Kno said slowly: "I will use the "Super Giant"..."

"The moment you enter the battle phase, I'm going to open the cover!"

Yu Xi, who had been watching Kno unfold in silence, suddenly spoke up, interrupting the former's declaration of casting, and the cover card in front of him was opened in response -

"Activate the permanent trap: "Light-sealing Soul Sword"!"

"As long as this card is on the field, when your opponent's monster declares an attack, you can pay 1000 LP to negate that attack. This effect can be used an unlimited number of times."

"You activated the face-up card before the Ancient Machine monster attacked. It seems that you are quite familiar with the Ancient Machine deck, Yuxi."

Most of the "Ancient Machine" monsters have the common ability to seal Magic and Trap Cards when attacking, so in battle they can often ignore the opponent's many red pits and ravage the opponent at will.

But that can only seal the activation of the card, and it is powerless to activate the card effect.

You Xi accurately caught this loophole of Leo Ku which is sometimes easily overlooked.

"But the "Colossal Giant" summoned with two or more "Ancient Mechanical Giants" can attack that many times in one battle phase. If you want to block all the attacks, you must pay 2 health points. "Ancient Mechanical Colossal Giant" attacks "Winged Fantasy Beast Chimera", Colossal Giant Fist!"

The "Ancient Mechanical Giant" lowered its body upon hearing this, and the gears in its body began to rub against each other, driving its iron fist that could destroy the walls of an ancient fortress with one blow to blast towards Youxi's monster.

The whistling sound that broke through the air filled his ears, oppressing his nerves, as if nothing could withstand this punch.

However--

Hoshiba Mai/Izayoi Yuki: "I've been fooled."

Before, they were still worried about whether Youxi could make it through this, but the moment they saw the "Soul Sealing Sword of Light", the two girls changed their minds.

What You Xi planned was not simply defense, but a counterattack.

Facing the incoming giant's fist, he smiled slyly.

“This is the moment I’ve been waiting for. When your monster declares an attack, the effect of the continuous magic: “Severed Darkness” is activated!

Once per turn, when a Fusion Monster summoned using a Normal Monster as Material battles an opponent's monster, the ATK of that Fusion Monster increases by the opponent's monster's ATK until the end of the turn.

"What? Not the "Light Sealing Soul Sword"! ?"

Kno's calm expression changed, but it was too late.

"Go ahead, Winged Beast, fight back with your claws. Caesar's Claws!"

"Roar!"

"Winged Beast Chimera, ATK: 0→3300"

Grabbing the crossbow bolt with its teeth, it pulled it out of the wound with all its strength. The Winged Beast Chimera roared, propelled its wings with the violent wind element, and slammed its body into the fist of the Super Giant with blood splattering.

The flames of the explosion lit up from the body of the "winged beast", devouring it in the blink of an eye. However, the impact triggered the worst chain reaction.

The cracks of collapse spread rapidly from the fist, and steel fragments and gear parts fell. The "Ancient Mechanical Giant" shook, and the entire body instantly fell apart, disintegrating into a huge pile of scrap metal garbage.

――"Ancient Mechanical Giant" destroyed.

"When it is destroyed, the effect of "Winged Beast Chimera" is activated. I revive "Beast King Gazel" in the Graveyard in Attack Position. Since a Normal Monster was Special Summoned, the effect of "Severed Darkness" ① is activated, and I draw 1 card from my Deck."

"Mythical Beast King Gazel" reappeared in front of him, and he replenished his hand. Yu Xi said, "This way, the most difficult monster disappears. I don't need to pay a high LP to defend anymore, Mr. Kno."

"...I didn't expect that continuous magic could have such an effect. You really tricked me, Yuxi."

As expected of a teacher hired by the Duel Academy, even though he was still an intern, Kno quickly regained his composure from the defeat just now.

"But my battle phase isn't over yet. The effect of that card can only be used once per turn, right? Then, "Ancient Mechanical Thermonuclear Dragon" attacks "Mythical Beast King Gazel."

"This time, I will use the effect of the "Light Sealing Sword" to negate the attack."

[Youxi LP: 8000 → 7000]

The golden lightsaber shot out from the purple card, forming an invincible defensive sword formation for the "Phantom Beast King". The roar of the "Thermonuclear Dragon" hit it, but it could not shake it in the slightest.

"Continue to attack with the Ancient Mechanical Crossbowman."

"This attack is also ineffective."

[Youxi LP: 7000 → 6000]

"That little guy is a little bit complicated."

"He was able to survive such a terrifying attack... Who is that person? I've never seen him before."

"If you look closely, he actually has a pretty handsome face..."

After paying 2000 life points in a row, Youxi successfully blocked all of Kno's attacks, which caused a heated discussion among the students watching the game. However, the direction of this discussion was not what Satomi Sho wanted at all.

"Hey! Kno! What the hell are you doing?!"

He shouted into the duel arena: "Have you forgotten what you promised me? Is this how you will fight this duel?!"

"There's nothing else to do. My turn is over."

As if he had not heard the roar of Satomi Sho behind him at all, Kno adjusted his glasses and softly announced the change of rounds.

"At the end of your turn, activate the Trap Card: "Fusion Ready"."

Yuki clicked the card cover button on the duel disk, and the card supported by the girls stood up just like the previous "Rough Man's Expectation".

"According to the effect of this card, reveal the Fusion Monster in my Extra Deck: "Celestial Knight", add the Fusion Material "Queen Knight" from the deck to my hand, and then retrieve "Fusion" from the Graveyard. Then it's my turn, and I summon "Queen Knight" in Attack Position."

The female knight who symbolizes the Q card in poker was called to the field by Yuxi, and then the effect of "Severed Darkness" was triggered again, increasing Yuxi's hand to 1 cards.

More than that.

"Then activate the Magic Card: "Bonds of Brothers", pay 1000 life points, select "Queen's Knight" to apply its effect, and Special Summon "King's Knight" and "Elf Swordsman Who Flips the Enemy" from the Deck.

When "King Knight" is Special Summoned successfully, "Guard Knight" is Special Summoned because there is "Queen Knight" on the field.

[Youxi LP: 6000 → 5000]

JQK, the three knights were gathered in an instant, plus "The Elf Swordsman who flips the enemy" and "The Fantasy Beast King", Youxi's front field was fully occupied.

Looking at this spectacular scene, Kno couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.

[What the hell. This kind of strength is not at the level of the small fry that Satomi Sho said...]

Ps:

Volume 44: Chapter Continue Minotaur!

Kno felt like he had been cheated.

He heard Satomi Sho say that Izumi Yuki was a low-level duelist who was not worth mentioning and had only bad luck. Even if there was an element of deliberate derogatory element in it, considering the fact that Yuki had no Feeling, and excluding the water in the words, Kno felt that he could easily catch him.

When he actually tried it, he found out that he was totally wrong.

There is not just half water in Satomi Sho's words, it is completely water!

The five monsters in front of him were lined up side by side, and no matter which one of them was hit, it was far inferior to the "Thermonuclear Dragon". However, in the eyes of a duelist of his level, these monster armies mixed with mortal bones were much more terrifying than a single "Thermonuclear Dragon".

That symbolizes endless possibilities.

"Well, there are four 4-star monsters on the field... Yuki-san, you haven't mastered Xyz Summon yet, have you?"

Since Fusion Summoning can be performed without Feel, perhaps Xyz Summoning will not be a problem for this strange baby-faced boy.

"No, I didn't plan on over-summoning."

You Xi's answer was ambiguous, and Keno could interpret it however he wanted.

He just continued with the battle strategy he had set at the beginning: "I activate "Fusion" to fuse the three monsters on the field: "Queen Knight", "King Knight" and "Guard Knight"!"

The three swords collided at one point, a faint light exploded, and the three Poker Knights were enveloped by the light and merged into one in the light. Based on the "Guard Knight", the power of the other two knights was superimposed on it, creating a strongest knight whose realm reached the highest level in the sky.

"--Fusion Summon, descend! "Heavenly Knight"! !"

"Heavenly Knight, Level 9/Light/Warrior/Fusion" "ATK: 3800/DEF: 2500"

"[Queen's Knight] + [King's Knight] + [Guard Knight]"

With an attack power of 3800, this is the strongest monster to appear in the Duel so far, even surpassing the short-lived "Ancient Mechanical Giant".

Keno could feel the power emanating from this monster.

He obviously has no Feel but can control such a monster as if it were his own hand, as if common sense does not apply to Youxi. I have to say, no matter how many times I see it, this situation still surprises Kno.

It's as if these monsters are actively cooperating with their master's will...

"Open it now, and lead the way to miracles!"

The appearance of the "Heavenly Knight" naturally caused a burst of exclamations, but Youxi did not have time to pay attention to the noise of these uninvited guests.

"Set the link mark with "Mythical Beast King Gazel" and "Elf Swordsman Who Twists the Enemy" to combine the circuits!"

He took down the other two monster cards on the Duel Board except "Celestial Knight".

The door that had appeared on Kno's side earlier also opened above his head. An arrow lit up, and a girl with short brown hair and glasses descended from it.

"Link Summon, L-ink2, "Os, the Great Earth Spirit"!"

"Os, the towering earth spirit, Earth/Mage/Link" "L-ink2/ATK: 1850"

"LK, 2 EARTH monsters"

Also provided by the friendship between the two girls, this is the highest value Link Monster that can be summoned without involving Feel. It looks good and its abilities are quite practical.

For example, like now.

"Activate the effect of Os! Once per turn, select 1 EARTH monster from your opponent's Graveyard and Special Summon it at the end of its connection. The one I want to revive is - "Ancient Mechanical Giant"!"

The tall earth spirit whispered a spell, then waved his hand in the direction of Kno. Steel parts and gears flew out of his graveyard and formed a giant with four legs and six arms behind Youxi.

The enemy's ace, who had been an enemy of You Xi not long ago, has now become his number two henchman.

Although it takes a sufficient level of Feel to control high-level powerful monsters, that generally refers to the stage before summoning. Except for some specific cards, most monsters can be used freely in the duel after being called out.

"Fight!"

Without further elaboration, You Xi declared: "I will use the "Heavenly Knight" to attack the "Ancient Mechanical Thermonuclear Dragon."

The "Heavenly Knight" raised the holy sword, and the majestic fighting spirit condensed and shone on the sword, and the power of the magic card was further doubled and sublimated.

"At this moment, the effect of "Severed Darkness" is activated! The attack power of "Heavenly Knight" increases by the attack power of "Thermonuclear Dragon". Heavenly Cross Slash!"

"Heavenly Knight, ATK: 3800 → 6800"

The intersecting sword energies flew through the air, and the slash that could even cut through dimensions went straight to the head of the "Thermonuclear Dragon".

If this attack succeeds, it will be equivalent to a direct attack. Coupled with the pursuit of the two subsequent monsters, it will be enough to force Kno into a dead end and establish a huge advantage for Youxi.

but--

"Boom!"

A short, sharp whistle sounded suddenly, and a scarlet train emerged from the dimensional tunnel out of nowhere, intercepting the attack of the "Heavenly Knight" halfway.

"This is!"

"When Celestial Knight attacked, I also activated the effect of this monster in my hand: Work Train Red Signal."

Keno took his fingers off the duel disk, adjusted his glasses and said, "Special Summon this card, transfer the attack to it to deal damage. And "Red Signal" will not be destroyed by that battle."

Hand pit?

"But I have another monster on the field. Ancient Mechanical Giant attacks Thermonuclear Dragon!"

This time, Kno did not stop him.

The fist of the "Colossal Giant" successfully hit the body of the "Thermonuclear Dragon", and the blow from its own kind caused the latter to explode into a pile of scrap metal on the spot.
