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

"She's also a Knight of the Round Table? How is that possible?"

"It's a bit troublesome to explain, so we'll talk later. All you need to know is that she is Tristan."

Jiang You answered perfunctorily.

The bow in Yao Cui's hand was also a good reference, and Aguguiwen believed it at the first moment.

"Could it be Tristan's descendant?"

“——[Altria (Saber)]!”

The petite, blonde-haired Holy Swordsman descended amidst the light.

[Altria S] Attack damage 2500 → 3000

"Then her effect is to equip a [Sword of Victory Contract] from the deck to herself."

This thing is useless now. Jiang You just uses it to compress the deck so that he doesn’t have to draw it later.

[Altria S] Attack damage 3000 → 4000

"Is this little girl your opponent this time?"

Daimao looked around at Ishtar and didn't sense any evil aura.

"She has a very clean aura, she doesn't seem like an evil person."

"Don't underestimate her. After all, she is a god."

Jiang You explained Ishtar's identity, "She is very powerful."

"Little girl?"

Ishtar, on the other hand, was somewhat displeased. As a goddess, she held the power of love and fertility, making her a rather sensual being. It was just that this body, similar in wavelength to hers, was too immature. She lifted her two small hills; after all, there was still some.

"You're the little girl! Your chest protector has no shape or form, how can you possibly get an A?"

Dai Mao didn't care much about this. Usually her mind was full of her own Camelot.

"This body is more suitable for fighting. If this thing is too big, it would be a burden, right? Well, it's better without it."

“That’s one of the charms of women!”

Ishtar's eyes twitched. Although being too big would affect the beauty, it would be too sad if it had almost no ups and downs.

"Are you really a girl?"

"She identifies as male."

Jiang You said something quite politically correct, "And gender doesn't matter. For her, as long as she can be a good king, it doesn't matter whether she's a man or a woman. Sorry, Altria, for victory, I still have to summon the more mature you."

Daimao nodded in response. Jiang You understood her thoughts, which made her very happy: "In battle, we must go all out. Expanding our combat power is a matter of course. That person can make better decisions and is indeed more mature than me."

"I will Xyz [Altria S] in one! Special Summon [Altria (Lancer)]!"

A white horse gallops from the horizon, and here comes the white knight king.

【White Gun】Attack power 2500 → 3000

"Then, using the effect of [White Spear Dai], equip a [Holy Spear Longomyniad] from the deck to herself!"

The holy spear in Bai Qiangdai's hand freed itself from its original form, and the white spiral shell faded away, revealing the surging golden magic column inside.

【White Gun】Attack power 3000 → 4000

"She is indeed more mature."

Ishtar's eyes couldn't leave the chest protector on Bai Qiangdai's chest, which was bigger than his head. Ishtar's body couldn't help but complain. She felt that she had lost miserably. "This is too mature!"

"Bai Qiangdai, this should be the last time I summon you for a duel before the final battle. When the time comes to fight the Mother Goddess of Creation, I will need your actual combat power."

Jiang You was really frustrated that he didn't summon her once after reaching the third level. If he released her at that time, he would not let her go back. The collection of other Knights of the Round Table still depended on her favorability.

291

Chapter 291: I was almost killed by a card, but luckily I was more skilled.

"That's what I'm here for."

Since her former singularity self finally chose the path of continuing humanity, she would not sit idly by and watch other singularities destroy humanity.

"Just give the order."

"I won't be polite then. Next, I'll activate the effect of [Indestructible Lake Light] in the graveyard and equip it to [White Spear Dai]!"

The Undestroyed Lake Light is only limited to the Knights of the Round Table, unlike the Holy Lance and Holy Sword which are designated for Artoria.

【White Gun】Attack power 4000 → 4600

"It's almost time. I activate the effect of [Holy Lance Longomyniad]. At the start of my next turn, send all face-up Servants on the field except the Servant equipped with this card to the Graveyard."

Anyway, this skill with delayed effect can only be released in advance, and it must be activated when appearing.

"Finally, I cover a card in the backfield to end my turn."

White Spear's own resistance is quite good, but it lacks a resistance to No Image. Ishtar has this effect, but the Knights of the Round Table deck is not without cards that can deal with this situation.

"Next is the effect of [White Spear Daze]. At the end of the turn, a [Knight of the Round Table] will be placed below her as a material. I chose [Gawain]."

The number of materials under Bai Qiangdai's body has increased to five.

"Such high attack power, and this weapon effect..."

Ishtar didn't expect that even if he was not allowed to use the crown servant, Jiang You could still take out such a powerful servant.

"But I won't give up so easily! It's my turn, draw a card!"

Ishtar began her turn: "First, I activate the Spell Card [Father's Favor]! Discard a card and add a [Bull of Heaven] and a God Servant related to [Babylonian Mythology] to my hand!"

A two-for-two, precise search, and the ability to stack graveyards—quite a good card. As a deity, Ishtar still has some power. However, she only took out one card. "Of course, the card I'm adding to my hand is my own [Ishtar]! ... Where's my [Bull of Heaven]? Why isn't it in my deck?"

"Never mind! Next up is the Spell Card, [Treasure for the Goddess]! After activating this card, you can banish [Gold] and [Gem] cards from your deck as a Tribute, and Special Summon a [Goddess] Servant from your hand!"

Gorgon and Kukulkan are also goddesses, and theoretically they can be special summoned with this card, but Jiang You has not seen many treasure-type cards, so he thinks they are not very useful.

"I banish three [Gem Magic] cards from my deck and Special Summon [Ishtar] from my hand."

The star gate opened again, and the goddess came in the starry sky with Venus as the background.

【Ishtar】Attack power 3200.

"Then, here's my effect: adding a [Mountain Shock Star's Salary] to my hand!"

Ishtar smiled. Although Jiang You had many unselectable cards on the field, they were useless in front of her.

"You've already seen the effects of this card, right? I won't explain it. I activate [Mountain Shock Star's Salary]!"

Ishtar unleashes her Noble Phantasm, and an arrow made of a projection of Venus shoots (?) into the earth, destroying everything!

"Can you withstand this attack?"

Ishtar watched as Jiang You's [Camelot], [Unbroken Lake Light], and [Holy Spear Longomyniad] dissipated in the flames, feeling she was close to victory. Her subsequent direct attack, combined with her discarded cards, dealt a full 5200 points of damage!

"Strong, too strong! I was almost killed by a card, but——"

Jiang You clapped his hands repeatedly and said, "I activate the Trap Card [Beshirek Belt], pay 1000 life points, and select a [Knight of the Round Table]. Until the end of my next turn, the selected Servant will not be targeted by the effect and cannot be destroyed by the effect!"

Gawain's belt came in handy at this point, successfully blocking Ishtar's Noble Phantasm. However, the other cards couldn't be saved.

River tour LP 4000 → LP 3000.

【White Gun Dai】Attack power: 4600 → 2500

"What a shame, but it just can't be destroyed in battle?"

Ishtar looked at Jiang You's health and her hand cards. If she launched an attack now, combined with her own effects, she could cause 2700 damage. As long as she slightly increased her attack power, she could end this duel.

"Then I win too!"

"I equip the Equipment Spell Card [Sky Boat Maana] to myself! This card increases the user's attack power by 800 points! And when declaring an attack, you can choose to destroy a card in the opponent's backfield... But you don't have any cards in your backfield right now. The third effect is that you can destroy it for me."

Ishtar's attack damage increased from 3200 to 4000.

"I'm the one who won this duel!"

Ishtar turned up her nose in pride as she watched her attacks successfully level those Grand Servants.

"Entering the Battle Phase, I will attack [Altria L] myself! Immediately afterwards, my own effect: When attacking, you can discard a card from your hand to deal 2000 damage to the enemy at the start of your next turn! I will discard this [Emerald Magic of the Price]!"

The pressure brought by Ishtar's magic arrow was hundreds of times higher than that of Yao Cui. This attack directly penetrated Bai Qiangdai's body and affected Jiang You.

Jiangyou LP 3000→ 1500.

"Finally, I cover a card in the backfield and end my turn!"

Ishtar looked at the rain of arrows she had shot (?) into the sky, a look of complete confidence. As soon as Jiang You's turn began, these attacks would rain back on Jiang You, taking away all his remaining health! "Prepare for your defeat! You see, I'm much more powerful than that gloomy woman, aren't I?"

"Before that, the effect of [White Spear Dai] will add another Xyz material from the deck."

Seeing that the excess materials of [Bai Qiangdai] had reached six, he curled his lips indifferently.

"Whatever you want, I'm going to lose anyway."

"My turn..."

Just as Jiang You was about to draw a card, magic arrows fell like raindrops.

"Great! I am the victorious one, Ishtar!"

Seeing this scene, Ishtar waved her fist excitedly. Now her glorious years could be written in bold and colorful strokes again.

"You are happy too early!"

Jiang You had already buried cards in his graveyard that could handle this situation. "I activate the effect of [Matthew] in the graveyard, banishing him and reducing the damage he dealt to me to 0!"

The arrow was blocked by a round shield that suddenly appeared, and Jiang You safely survived the attack.

"Okay, I'll draw a card then!"

Jiang You looked at the cards in his hand and smiled.

"It has ended!"

292

Chapter 292 You useless goddess!

"I should be able to finish you off this round."

Jiang You took a look at Ishtar's graveyard. The Emerald's invalid target graveyard effect had no effect. As long as the unknown card in Ishtar's backfield was dealt with, Ishtar would be powerless to recover.

"how is this possible?"

Ishtar looked at Jiang You's field. There was only a lonely [White Gun Dai] with an attack power of 2500. Jiang You also had only one card in his hand, while she had an attack power of 4000, as well as [Tianzhou Ma Anna] that could break the card, a cover card, and full health. There was no reason for her to lose.

"Stop being so stubborn and just admit defeat. Wouldn't it be better to let Tiamat sleep peacefully?"

"Her slumber won't change the future. I still want her... Humanity still needs her power!"

Jiang You certainly wanted the cards, and helping humans overcome the Trial of Tiamat was just a side thing.

"I activate the effect of [White Spear Dai], plucking two Xyz Materials and destroying all Servant cards on your field!"

Bai Qiangdai drove his beloved horse into the air, and the golden spire broke through the clouds and swooped down towards Ishtar.

"Is this what you rely on?"

The release of the Holy Lance was indeed impressive, but Ishtar was not without countermeasures. "I can't withstand this attack myself, but I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Glittering Great Crown]! This card negates the activation of one of the opponent's effects."

As Ishtar revealed her divine crown, all the magic power calmed down, and the White Spear's Noble Phantasm was interrupted and slowly fell back to the ground.

"Also, after successfully negating the card, you can retrieve one magic card from the graveyard. The one I want to retrieve is [Mountain Shock Star's Salary]."

Ishtar once again retrieved her Noble Phantasm, which had destroyed the entire arena. Confidence returned to her face. "I'll do it again next round. Can you withstand it then?"

"I really can't bear it."

Jiang You was now certain of his victory. "But, there's no need to fight back. I can just finish you off! Are you ready, Inanna? Next up is the burst of Noble Phantasms! After all, the full-scale destruction effect doesn't only happen once per round!"

Bai Qiangdai's NP acquisition rate is extremely good. If he could open a Noble Phantasm book, it would also be a good light cannon, but unfortunately he can't.

"It's not once per round?!"

Ishtar gasped. She glanced at the remaining materials in Bai Qiangdai's hand. There were still four, meaning it could be activated twice more. Her own strength, combined with the weapon's damage, was completely eliminated.
