Why fight the Holy Grail War? Let's play cards!

"If you can't even overcome me, why bother making an enemy of Tiamat?"

"Then it's a deal."

Jiang You laughed. Ai Lei had already agreed, so he beat her to her knees.

"You know, what you said is exactly the same as what Kukulkan said."

"Nah...Nah."

Feeling her lines were stolen, Ai Lei puffed up her cheeks in anger. "Since I initiated the trial, I'll take the first step!"

The duel began, and both sides drew five cards from their decks.

"First of all, as the goddess of the underworld, I should have my own domain! I activate the Field Spell Card [Underworld]!"

The duel space did not change, because the current location was Elle's underworld. "While this card is on the field, the opponent cannot activate servant effects from the graveyard!"

"Next, the effect of [Underworld]! Once per turn, send the top five cards of your opponent's deck to the Graveyard. Because of this effect, for every Servant sent to the Graveyard, summon a 500/500 [Undead Token] on our side of the field!"

Although it seems like there is a traitor, at least the servant's tomb effect is sealed.

Jiang You watched helplessly as Emiya Kiritsugu was sent to the graveyard, unable to draw a card. It was heartbreaking. Emiya Kiritsugu returned to his warm home without leaving any relics behind. He was to be punished severely. He would definitely give him a good beating when he and Yao Cui went to retrieve the card.

"Okay, there are three servants in total. I want to summon three [Undead Tokens] on my field!"

Following Elle's summons, three transparent skeletons draped in white gauze rose from the ground. They were footless and hovered in the air, a classic in-game appearance. The kind that dropped lanterns.

Undead Tokens

1-star Assassin's attack power is 500*3.

"Then I will sacrifice two [Undead Tokens], liberate them, and Super Summon [Ereshkigal] from my hand!"

As countless gun cages rose from the ground, the ghostly fire representing the soul shone brightly. Among these flames, the goddess of the underworld slowly walked over.

Ereshkigal

9-star Lancer has an attack power of 3200.

It's just at the level where she's not affected by the Heaven's Chains, but considering that Gilgamesh really can't do anything to Ellie, who has power close to that of a god in the underworld, it's reasonable.

"My own effects!"

Elle looked at her panel and nodded with satisfaction. "While [Underworld] is on the field, it cannot be destroyed by effects or combat!"

257

Chapter 257: Ailei, you are also a minotaur.

Although Elly is immune to combat and effect breaking, Jiang You still has cards that can deal with it. Whether it is the Minotaur of Medea's Noble Phantasm or the magic card that cooperates with the release of Hassan to explode the card, they can deal with this effect.

"Then there's my own effect. When a Super Summon appears, I add a [Underworld Blessing] from my deck to my hand!"

Elle drew a card from her deck. "Then, the Continuous Spell Card [Underworld Blessing]! While this card is face-up on the field, all our servants gain 1000 attack and defense points! They are also considered [Underworld] servants. Furthermore, all our cards except this face-up card cannot be destroyed by its effects."

Elle boosts Field Attack and provides a layer of insurance for Field Magic Cards. She also has the ability to release a [Underworld] Servant on the field as a replacement when targeted by an effect. This, combined with her ability to Special Summon the opponent's Servant once per turn if it's destroyed by battle or an effect, is quite impressive. All in all, Elle is a Minotaur powerhouse.

[Ellie] Attack damage 3200 → 4200

[Undead Token] Attack: 500 → 1500

"Then I cover two cards in the backfield and end my turn."

There has never been anyone around Elle, so her deck is basically based on herself, otherwise she wouldn't have found the opportunity to compete with Ishtar for Tohsaka Rin's body.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Jiang You felt that it was a good thing that he had a keen premonition and changed Hassan's deck, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with it using other decks.

"First, I Normal Summon Hassan the Hundred Faces and activate her effect, Special Summoning as many cards of the same name as possible from my deck!"

Several Hundred Faces jumped out from behind Jiang You and appeared in the battle area in unison.

【Hundred Appearances】Attack power 800*2.

【Bai Mao (Host)】

Attack power 800.

【Morning Glory】Attack power 0.

There are only four Hundred Faces because one of the field magic cards of Elly was sent to the graveyard before, and there is also a [Shining Star Hassan]. Since Jiang You is not familiar with this one at all, there is basically no way to get started except searching.

"And with the effect of [Hundred Faces (Host)], I'm going to declare the card type as a Magic card!"

Not for any other reason, because most of the deck is magic cards.

My luck was pretty good this time, probably to compensate for not winning often before. This time I got an [Encyclopedia Mastery], which was just right to blow up [Protection from the Underworld].

"Right now, I activate the Trap Card [Soul Binding Cage]! This card can be activated by selecting a Servant on the field to destroy it. If it is successfully destroyed, all cards with the same name in this game are banished!"

This card can be said to be the lifelong enemy of Altria and the Hundred Faces, and of course, maybe Elizabeth as well.

"Just be a member of the underworld!"

"Don't even think about it! I'm initiating [Combat Retreat]!"

Jiang You's entire deck relies on Bai Xiang. How could he let Ai Lei banish her like that? "I will return the [Bai Xiang] you designated to my hand and draw a card!"

The gun cage that restrained the soul rose from the ground, but because Baimao had already left the field, it lost its target and was ineffective.

"Next, I activate [Infiltration Transformation]! Return [Morning Glory] to my hand! Summon [Hundred Faces] once again!"

It is obvious that Elly has very few servants in the deck, and the one-time defense transfer of the Morning Glory without any target is very suitable for saving lives.

"Then I activate [Encyclopedia Mastery]! I release a [Hundred Faces]! Destroy the [Underworld Protection] on your field!"

This thing can protect other trap cards and magic cards from being destroyed and can also increase the field attack. I have to deal with it first.

"Finally, it's my turn to say this. Wishful thinking! I activate the Counter Trap Card [Sevenfold Gate Questions]! This card can be activated by targeting a card on my side of the field. The opponent must flip over the top seven cards of their deck, declaring a card type and number. If the number of cards of the corresponding type on the flipped cards is not the declared number, the activation effect is negated. I can then choose one card from their seven cards and add it to my hand, negating its effect!"

These are the seven stone gates to face Ishtar. Only by answering all the questions correctly can you pass through. This corresponds to the legend of Ishtar having her treasure taken away by Elle.

"What a harsh declaration! Why don't you just activate the effect directly?"

Jiang You was speechless. This thing had 24 possible declarations. Although [One-Hit Kill! Iai Card Draw] was probably just as good if it was purely a gamble, but if you got it right, you could post a video, okay?

"I declare four magic cards."

Seven cards were turned over, and the number of magic cards was 3, so the destruction of the backfield was still invalidated.

"Can't we just take everything? We have to leave something behind after each stone gate."

Ai Lei flipped through Jiang You's cards one by one. Since she couldn't see the effects at all, she could only guess by looking at the names and character names.

"You're so brave to think of playing seven cards in one go (?)."

Jiang You felt that Ai Lei had lost all her dignity and might as well just declare victory.

"We agreed to reproduce it according to the legend and experience. I think we can restore it a little more."

Then Elle saw a card: [Romulus Quirinus]

"You, you, you...wait a moment!"

Ailei's fingers trembled as she tapped the card. "The deck is based on my personal experience, right? Why is this person in your deck? He's clearly from a different era or region than Hassan Sabbah!"

Ailei picked up the card in shock and added it to her hand. She would never let Jiang You play it. "I wanted to ask you just now because you blamed me. You are obviously from the East, right? Why is your deck Hassan Saba? And now there is also Founder of Rome?"

When Jiang You saw Romulus Quirinus in Elle's hands, he knew he couldn't let Elle have more than three Servants on the field. Otherwise, he would be the one to be beaten by the Crown.

"I don't have my own history, or rather, I'm creating my own. Just think of me as a special Heroic Spirit. The connections I make with others will be recorded back in the Throne of Heroes. I came here to forge a connection with you."

Jiang You secretly mixed in some contraband.

"Next time I go out to play, I can drag you out with me."

"It was me who pulled you down, okay?"

Ai Lei felt that Jiang You was just talking nonsense. If she didn't want to ease the crisis in Uruk, there would be no chance for the two of them to meet.

"I'll prove myself later, but for now, let's duel. Stack two Hundred Faces here and Xyz Summon! [Zanzi]!"

The two adult Baimao turned into streams of light and rose into the vortex, transforming into a girl next door filled with murderous intent.

[Fanatical] Defense: 1000.

258

Chapter 258: Not being affected by the effects of trap cards or magic cards is not necessarily a good thing.

"You actually chose defense?"

Seeing that Zealot only had 1000 defense points and couldn't even defend against its own derivatives, Elle thought it must have some kind of defensive effect.

"Then I covered two cards in the backcourt, ending my turn."

Because Elly's card [Underworld Blessing] provided effect-breaking resistance to Ghost Tokens, Jiang You couldn't use the effect of Zealot to limit the number of them, and Elly could then draw a bunch of tokens. He didn't want to give away his precious [Wan Fu Bing Sha Jie] for just one token.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Ai Lei looked at the three cards in her hand. Since Romulus was already in her hand, she had to summon him to deal a fatal blow to Jiang You.

"First! [Underworld]'s effect! Once per turn, send the top five cards of your opponent's deck to the Graveyard!"

Jiang You's luck was bad this time as well. Two Hassans were sent to the graveyard, two Tranquility cards.

Two more ghosts appeared on Elle's field.

[Undead Derivative] Attack: 500 → 1500*2

Now Elle has three [Undead Tokens] on the field, which is just right as a sacrifice to summon [Romulus Quirinus].

"Jiang You, I'm sorry."

Elle understood how powerful Romulus was in this state. "I win this time. Please obey the rules and stay in the underworld. At least don't cause trouble at this time. I will sacrifice three [Undead Tokens] and summon [Romulus Quirinus]!"

The golden supreme god Quirinus descended from the sky, his light illuminating the underworld, and countless light spears poured down like a rainstorm.

Kuang Xinzi's eyelids twitched. This person is at the same level as the first generation. Is she supposed to stop him?

"[Romulus Quirinus] Summons successfully, destroying all of the opponent's servants on the field!"

Although Romulus was not sure what was going on, the rules of the duel were absolute, so he opened his arms and said, "From my limbs, release the power of the gods, the radiant power. The power that will eventually reach the other side of the stars! --"

Our arms open up everything, even to the horizon!"

"[Fanatical]'s effect: remove an excess material as a replacement, negating this destruction!"

If it was a normal battle, there was absolutely no way that Zealot could block Romulus's attack. At this time, Zealot still had one excess material left.

"I shouldn't be here."

Romulus looked around and felt the current rules. After confirming that this battle was not a dark duel, he relaxed a little.

"But fighting you, Caster, was truly entertaining. Let us continue that unfinished battle. Let us see if you can surpass Roma!"

"I'm looking forward to fighting you, too."

Of course, I have to say good things. Jiang You hadn't used the [Quirinus' Throne] that he had gotten from him before, but the skill draw on it alone was too good. It would be even better if it could add some favorability and bonds.

"However, if I want to defeat you, I can only rely on tricks."

"No matter, Rome will tolerate everything."

Romulus did not care how the battle was fought.

"Then I'm sorry. Right now, I'm going to activate the cover card, [Ten Thousand Symbols Will Break the Rules]!"

This card is a general trap card, and Jiang You has never played it.

"It's useless. [Romulus Quirinus] is not affected by the effects of Trap Cards or Spell Cards!"

Ailei clenched her fists excitedly. This time, she had proven that she was stronger than that muscular goddess. "Have you forgotten the effect of your card?"

"Of course I'd forget."

He has looked at the effects of the crown servant over and over again, but unfortunately the bond is not enough, so Wang Ha can forcibly pull it out from the deck.

"The target of my attack is not him, but you!"

"It's no use!"

Elle raised her head confidently. She wasn't without resistance. "You know, my effect is to release a [Underworld] Servant on the field as a replacement when it's selected as the effect target!"
