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

"Take a closer look. Where are the Underworld Servant's on the field?"

Jiang You joked to Ai Lei with a smile, "Or do you want to liberate [Romulus Quirinus]?"

"It's a pity, but I apologize, King of Rome..."

Elle gritted her teeth. Although Romulus was indeed very powerful, he was not her card after all. Her deck revolved around herself, so naturally she had to protect herself. But she immediately realized that something was wrong.

"!!!"

Romulus could not be freed.

"Didn't you just say that? Romulus Quirinus is not affected by trap cards or spell card effects!"

Jiang You reminded that because the effect of [Protection of the Underworld] could not take effect, Romulus did not become a servant of [Underworld].

"Come here you go!"

Because all the other [Underworld] derivatives have been released by Elle, Elle can only bear this effect.

"I'm a bona fide goddess! I won't give in so easily! Seriously, I actually had to ask that guy for help."

As if she had made up her mind, Elle slapped a card onto the field. "I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Possession Transformation]! This card can be activated by targeting a card on the field, returning that card to the deck, and then Special Summoning a Servant with the same body (suffix: Elle and Gong Rin are both Tousaka Rin) from the deck onto the field!"

For the first time, Elle showed an extremely unhappy expression: "I'm going to summon Ishtar on the field!"

The star gate opened, and the bright Venus emitted a dazzling light in the deep space. A girl who looked exactly like Ai Lei rode on [Sky Boat Ma Anna] and rushed out of the star gate and came to the battlefield.

Ishtar

9-star Archer has an attack power of 3200.

"The smell of decay, isn't that Ereshkigal? You still prefer hiding in dark and damp places like before."

Ishtar mocked Elle right from the start. As the two of them were on the opposite sides of life and death, they didn't see eye to eye.

"...Ugh, I don't want to do this!"

It has been stated in Elle's bond voice that what she longs for is a colorful world, but the environment of the underworld cannot support the existence of these things.

"Hmph, you can talk all you want. But here, you still have to obey my orders!"

"I wouldn't... No way! It's actually true!"

Ishtar's face turned pale. What kind of hell is this? Even though this is hell, "Whose Noble Phantasm is this? I'll beat him to death!"

259

Chapter 259: Those who help others build tombs must have traitors.

"The person you were talking about is right here."

Jiang You considered whether to confront Ishtar for Elle's favor, but then decided against it. They had no grudges against each other, so doing so would be a bit awkward.

"I can't believe there are people coming to such a dark place."

Ishtar then began to pay attention to Elle's opponent, a stranger.

"You are Ereshkigal's rival. Hmm... Although your Noble Phantasm annoys me, I'll forgive your presumptuous behavior if you can teach her a lesson for me!"

Jiang You waited for a while and found that he had not received any task: "Well... what about the reward?"

"award?"

Ishtar had a curious expression on her face. "My not caring about your offense is already a great reward. How dare you ask for a reward from me? You're truly a mortal who can't discern the situation. I say, don't you know who I am?"

"Ishtar, the goddess of beauty, harvest, and war in Mesopotamian mythology. Isn't that written on your card name?"

Jiang You knew that there was no chance of getting his side quest rewards.

"What a stingy goddess, but I'm sorry to disappoint you. Even if I win, I won't teach Ailei a lesson."

"Ellie?"

Ishtar was stunned for a moment before realizing that this was short for Ereshkigal. "Wait, who are you, and why are you calling this shady woman so affectionately?"

"It's not dark at all!"

Ailei stamped her feet in anger. This wasn't what she wanted. "You unruly goddess! Anyway, you're now a shady guy too! Because the effect of [Underworld Blessing] has changed the affiliation of [Ishtar] and increased its attack power!"

Ishtar's attack damage increased from 3200 to 4200.

"I don't want to become a guy from the underworld! You bastard, you so-and-so, hurry up and destroy me!"

Ishtar's face was twisted. She had a very bad impression of the underworld. She would rather die if she became a servant of the underworld.

"Sorry, the venue doesn't allow it."

Jiang You shrugged. If he could destroy it, he wouldn't be so passive.

"why is it like this--"

"[Ishtar]'s effect adds a [Mountain Shock Star's Salary] to your hand!"

Elle added Ishtar's Noble Phantasm to her hand.

"Ishtar, listen to my command! Activate [Mountain-shaking Star's Salary]!"

Elle seemed to be enjoying the process of ordering Ishtar, "Destroy all the cards on the opponent's field!!"

"I don't care what happens next!"

Ishtar soared into the sky atop her Skyship, Maanna, and opened the Star Gate once more. Venus's virtual energy responded to her invitation, transforming into a brilliant arrow in her hand.

"Very good, very good. Please take good care of me this time too. From the great heavens, to the great earth! Also known as the Mount Ebifu Crusher!"

The golden light shook the mountains and destroyed everything in sight!

"[Fanatical]'s effect! I'm removing another excess material as a replacement, negating this damage!"

There was no way to save the backfield, but Kuang Xinzi still took the blow, but she only had one super material left and could not withstand the next attack.

"Looks like you lost."

Seeing that there was only one Zealot left on the Jiangyou field, Ishtar felt that the outcome was already decided.

"Indeed, it's too difficult for a small, unknown Servant like you to challenge the goddess. Even if it was just this guy, I would have held out a glimmer of hope for you. Therefore, this goddess will settle the score for your disrespectful sin that embarrassed me!"

"What do you mean I'm 'just this guy'!"

Ailei was quite dissatisfied with Ishtar's attitude, and she would not have a good face when facing Ishtar.

"You should be grateful to him for showing up in my territory unharmed!"

"Who wants to come?! If it weren't for his Noble Phantasm, I wouldn't come even if you begged me!"

Ishtar stuck out her tongue at Ere.

Ai Lei felt that it would be better if Jiang You's Noble Phantasm could do more. "Well, I don't want to see you either. Don't worry, you won't see him again! Enter the battle phase!"

"You shameless goddess, just stay aside! [Romulus Quirinus] attacks [Fanatical]!"

Ai Lei wanted to end the battle immediately. "Because [Romulus Quirinus] will cause double penetration damage to defending units, the damage value of this attack is 6000 points! Jiang You, I win!"

"So, why do you all think I've already lost?"

In fact, it was Jiang You who grasped the formula for victory. As long as he could reach the next round, he could end the game directly.

"I activate [Morning Glory] from my hand! Throw it into the Graveyard! Change [Romulus Quirinus] to Defense Position!"

Because it was activated from a hand card, it was not affected by the effect of [Underworld], and the little loli (?) blocked Romulus' attack.

[Romulus] Attack 4000 → Defense 4000.

"Is this okay?"

Ai Lei didn't expect that the great God would be blocked by a little girl.

"Don't underestimate any Servant. Maybe a fourth-rate assassin with no training can also swing the balance of victory."

"Wait a minute, how come this person is here?"

Because of the deep grudge between her and Elle, Ishtar paid little attention to other people until she realized that the person next to her was Romulus.

"you guess."

Elle was pleased with Ishtar's shocked expression, even though her own performance hadn't been much better before.

"In that case, the indecent goddess attacks [Kuang Xinzi]!"

"When attacking, Ishtar's effect allows you to discard a card from your hand, dealing 2000 damage to the enemy at the start of your next turn!"

High damage, can be used twice to win the game. However, it has a delayed effect, so it is not very practical most of the time.

"Ishtar, use your magic to release!"

"My gem!"

At Elle's command, Ishtar crushed several gems as a medium, and at the same time shot the magic arrows made of gems into the air.

Fanatic was destroyed and Jiang You's scene was cleared, but similarly, Ai Lei could not continue to act and could only end her turn.

"How are you going to win?"

With a [Romulus] with 4000 defense and an [Ishtar] with 4200 attack, combined with a field that cannot be destroyed by effects, Elle felt that she had no reason to lose.

"Without the effect of your venue, it would be really hard to win."

Jiang You smiled, the battle was over.

"How many Hassans are there in the cemetery now?"

260

Chapter 260: Being humiliated is something you will never be familiar with unless you do it the second time.

The correct answer is 8, but Zealot and Morning Glory are not needed, so the effective number is 6. If Elle had not helped Jiang You to fill the graveyard so quickly, Jiang You really would not have been able to gather so many servants in the graveyard so easily.

"It's useless! These Hassans are all in the cemetery and under my management. No matter what effect they have, they can't be activated!"

Elle blocked the graveyard at the beginning. She thought Hassan had some effect in the graveyard, such as jumping back to the deck from the graveyard for fusion summoning or something.

"All I need is for them to not be in the deck. My turn! Draw a card!"

Jiang You doesn't need to activate the destined draw, as the key card was already in his hand at the beginning. However, even if this thing is buried in the tomb, he can still get it back with Baimao's [Librarian of Hidden Knowledge].

"Are you ready?"

Ailei took another look at the two servants on her field. Both of them were the best of the best. Jiang You's ace was also on her field. Why was Jiang You so confident that he could win?

"I activate [Death Knell] to banish all six [Hassans] from the Graveyard and Special Summon [Mountain Elder] from my Deck!"

Jiang You directly summoned the second crown servant.

A sword mark broke through the underworld, and a dark blue flame burned on the scar in the space. The servant of the dark servant stepped out with a big sword in hand, coming to announce death!

【Mountain Hermit】Attack power 4000.

"I see. Since you possess Hassan Sabbah, it's only natural that you would possess the First Generation..."

Ailei looked at Wang Ha and felt her breathing become dry. The other party's authority over death was higher than hers. "That's strange! How can such a servant appear casually?!"

"I never thought I could use this kind of spiritual foundation to meet you, the first generation of the old man in the mountains."

As crowned, Romulus and Wang Ha rarely have the opportunity to meet. The two top employees of the Heroic Seat met at this time. Romulus did not want to miss this opportunity. "In this state, we can both let go of our fists and fight with Roma."

"First King of Rome, it is an honor to meet you."

Wang Ha is actually a very polite person. As long as the title of Mountain Old Man is not involved, it can only be said that his successors are better than the previous one.

"However, in the current situation, our victory or defeat is meaningless. We have plenty of time to fight this battle in the distant future. Right now, we have more important things to do."

"You're right, I'm impatient."

Romulus nodded, then crossed his arms and fell into silence with Wang Ha.

"……who are you?"

The question was asked by Ishtar. Anyone who saw someone pull out two Grand Servant cards at once would be stunned. Elly nodded in agreement. Being able to form a bond with two Grand Servant cards was something a normal Servant couldn't possibly achieve.

"Just a passing duelist!"

This is destined to be a fruitless question.

"Then it's time to end it! I'm entering the combat phase!"
