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

"You're infiltrating for assassination...right?"

Although assassins would indeed change their attire and sneak in to kill their targets, Baimao's outfit was too eye-catching, and Kuang Xinzi always felt that something was wrong.

But Baimao just looked at her without saying anything.

She couldn't say that she, as an individual, quite enjoyed her current situation.

151

Chapter 151: Four blocks in the backcourt, please give me your advice!

"I cover 3 cards in the backfield, ending my turn!"

Jiang You looked at the backfield that Illya had put down, three of which were: [Confuse the Master], [Support Shot], and [Origin Bullet], all of which could block the attacks of servants that had no resistance to magic or traps.

Now, Zouken Matou has no means to deal with the backfield. Even the three seal bugs he summoned at once are useless and cannot get through at all.

"X-Summon... a type of summon I've never seen before. And it has 3000 attack power."

Matou Zouken looked at Kyon Shinko cautiously. She must be incredibly powerful to be able to summon four servants at once.

"Don't worry, [Fanatical] doesn't have the effect of being activated during the opponent's turn, so your Marking Bug can be effective on her. Oh no, now it depends on luck."

Because the host's costume is made of Baimao, Kuang Xinzi now has an additional coin-tossing effect to block attacks.

"Do you think I'm that naive guy like Shinji?"

Matou Zouken would not easily believe Jiang You's words, as Illya had used it once before.

"It's my turn, draw a card!"

"First, [Machirizolgen]'s effect sends this card from your hand to the graveyard, and retrieves a [Five Hundred Years' Long-cherished Wish] from your deck."

"Want to summon yourself again? This card of yours is really bad."

I have seen Matou Zouken Eyou many times. He is not aggressive at all and not challenging at all.

"Survival is the most important thing. As a Servant, you don't understand the value of life!"

"Are you really qualified to say that?"

Jiang You really didn't expect to hear such words from Matou Zouken. "Let's not talk about whether innocent people died at your hands. You used your own offspring as your vessels to continue your life. Their lives are no longer lives, right?"

"I'm already struggling to take care of myself, how can I care for others? I activate [Five Hundred Years of Obsession], sacrifice [Winged Bladeworm] and [Marking Bug] from my deck to the graveyard, and Ritual Summon [Matou Zouken] from my hand in Attack Position!"

The swarm of insects formed a humanoid figure named Matou Zouken.

[Matou Zouken] Attack power 1800.

"Next, I'll Normal Summon [Matou Shinji]! I'm really curious about how Shinji will appear in this state!"

The Flesh Holy Grail had temporarily lost its core, but its connection to Matou Shinji remained intact. The foul black hole continued to spew black mud.

Shinji Matou fell onto the battlefield in his normal human form.

【Matou Shinji】Attack power 200.

"Old thing! How dare you lie to me!"

As soon as Shinji Matou landed, he began to question Zouken Matou. He didn't expect that he would become the sacrifice to form the Holy Grail.

"How do you talk to your elders? I remember I taught you etiquette."

Zouken Matou used the power he had accumulated over the past decade to put pressure on Shinji Matou.

But it didn't work now. Shinji Matou felt that he was doomed, so he let go of his temper and used very ugly words to insult the old man who had frightened him since he was a child.

"#FUYUNMU foul language!"

"What a noise! ​​Because of [Matou Shinji]'s effect, I can directly activate a set Trap Card this turn. I'm going to activate [Book of False Minister], pay 1500 Life Points, and seize control of [Fanatical Noble]!"

Matou Zouken LP 4000 → LP 2500.

The pain of losing his soul terrified Zouken Matou. If possible, he didn't want to activate a card that would reduce his life points. However, Shinji Matou, who had a very high win rate, always used this card very decisively. He tried to win the duel using Shinji Matou's method.

"You should know that I just got an [Origin Bullet], right?"

Illya decisively flipped over the card, but Fanatic had no ability to deal with this effect.

"Don't even think about it! The [Origin Bullet] will be effective, nullifying and destroying the [Book of Treason]!"

"hateful!"

Zouken Matou lost his health in vain. He felt that Matou Shinji's tactics were useless, so he took his anger out on Matou Shinji, "Useless thing!"

Matou Shinji: "?"

Although Shinji Matou didn't understand what it meant, it didn't stop him from cursing even more harshly.

"Either way, we successfully destroyed a trap."

Matou Zouken continued his actions, "Next, Spell Card [Awakened Will]! Special Summon a Master Servant from your Deck! The Servant Special Summoned by this card is automatically destroyed at the end of the turn! The one I will summon is [Matou Sakura]!"

[Matou Sakura] Attack power 1200 → 700.

Although the bond is not strong enough, there are still ways to forcibly summon Zouken Matou.

"Sakura, how's the crowd evacuation going?"

Jiang You had already made arrangements, and he had quite a lot of servants at his disposal.

"Most of the people have been evacuated, but there are still a small number of people who insist on staying and watching the battle."

Sakura Matou pointed to the sparse crowd in the stands, who were putting themselves in danger just to watch the excitement.

"Once all those willing to cooperate have left, Rider and the others will forcibly take these people away."

"Where did the bloodthirsty audience come from..."

Jiang You said that this is not the world of sea tigers.

"It really is you, Grandpa."

Matou Sakura answered Jiang You's question before looking at Matou Zōken, "I have to trouble you for help again, Caster."

"No, isn't this what should happen given our relationship?"

While Jiang You was speaking, Illya hit his head with her fist. She had clearly promised him not long ago that he could only be her Servant, but now she started saying such things to Sakura Matou.

"again?"

Matou Zouken couldn't understand what Matou Sakura said, "But Sakura, you can only help me now, what a pity. The effect of [Matou Sakura] transfers control of one of our servants on the field to the opponent. Shinji, since you hate me so much, I will give you a chance to attack me!"

[Fanatical] Attack power 3000 → 2500.

"Do you have a servant with over 2500 attack in your deck right now?"

Zouken Matou obviously wanted to use the exclusion to deal with the Zealot on the field, but Jiang You remembered that Zouken Matou had the highest card in his deck.

"No, but it's not impossible to break through. I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Normal Summon]! This card can only be activated when there is an Assassin on the opponent's field. Special Summon a [Cursed Arm Hassan] from the Deck, destroy that Assassin, and give [Cursed Arm] half its original ATK!"

A red demon arm broke through Fanatic's chest, and the cursed arm crawled out of her body.

[Cursed Arm] Attack damage 1500 → 2000.

"[Fanatical] Effect! Activate when destroyed by a battle effect. Pluck out an Excess Material as a replacement, negating the destruction!"

Of course, Illya couldn't let Fan Xinzi leave like this.

Forced to open his chest, the fanatic turned into a ball of black mist, then condensed again and appeared intact.

[Fanatical] Attack power 2500 → 2000.

152

Chapter 152: The cards others casually play are a chasm that your entire deck cannot overcome.

"Lord Cursed Wrist?"

Kuang Xinzi didn't expect that the opponent could also summon a servant named Hassan.

"The ability you just had was to interrupt body temperature, right?"

Curse Wrist recognized this skill as belonging to a certain generation of Hassan. Beneath his mask, he carefully examined Kuang Xin Zi. "You're the Kuang Xin Zi who didn't achieve a title but mastered the unique skills of the known generations of Hassan, right? You're truly a formidable youngster!"

Kuang Xinzi blushed, she was very pleased with the praise from the previous leader.

"But now we each serve our own masters, and I won't hold back! Show your strength!"

Even if summoned in this way, Cursed Arm will perfectly execute the orders of the main fighter, regardless of good or evil. This is his life creed.

"Yes!"

Kuang Xinzi gave a firm response.

"As if I could hold back..."

Jiang You whispered, how could such an operation be allowed under the duel rules.

"[Regular Summon] effect: If I fail to destroy my opponent's card, I can use one card."

Matou Zouken added a card to his hand.

"It can actually replace destruction. [Fanatical Letter] still has three materials, which means it can replace destruction three more times..."

Matou Zouken looked at Kyon Shinko and realized how difficult this thing was to deal with. And considering that Curse Arm said that Kyon Shinko had learned the unique skills of successive Hassans, the effect would definitely not be just one generation of destruction.

"Use the self-transformation effect of [Cursed Arm] to destroy a Servant on your side of the field and gain half its attack power! The one I want to destroy is [Matou Zouken]!"

Of course, Matou Zouken's target couldn't be himself. "The effect of [Matou Zouken]! When this card is destroyed, you can release a Servant on your field as a replacement. Sakura's Servant will be destroyed at the end of her turn anyway, so it's a perfect sacrifice for me!"

【Cursed Arm】Attack power 2000→2900!

"I'll cover the backfield with the last card and enter the battle phase!"

Matou Zouken set his sights on the little morning glory. Since [Kuang Xinzi] couldn't deal with it, he would start with this Servant with 0 attack! "[Cursed Arm] attacks [Little Morning Glory]!"

"Don't even think about it. I'm going to use my backcourt cover..."

It was naturally impossible for Illya to directly take the 2900 points of damage.

"It's useless. [Cursed Arm] won't be affected by Trap Card effects when it attacks. Due to the effect of [Normal Summon], it won't be targeted until the next turn!"

This is why Matou Zouken attacked with such confidence.

"Who said to activate the [Cursed Arm]?"

Illya successfully opened her facedown card, "[Battle Retreat], I return [Morning Glory] to my hand and draw a card!"

Leave [Morning Glory] on the field to deceive the effect, and then recycle it when needed. Illya has seen Jiang You use this method several times, and she has already learned it.

"In that case, [Cursed Arm] attacks [Matou Shinji]!"

Matou Zouken can only choose [Matou Shinji] as his target.

Matou Zouken understood that [Matou Shinji] had no other effects no matter what. Instead of gambling on the effect of Kyou Nobuko, it would be better to just deal the 2700 points of damage honestly.

"Then, the effect of [Morning Glory] can only be activated when your opponent's Servant declares an attack and sends this card from their hand to the Graveyard. That monster changes to Defense Position!"

The [Morning Glory] that returned to her hand immediately took effect. Although the presence of Shinji Matou would weaken the situation and have extremely strong side effects, Illya didn't want to lose so much blood directly.

"How is that possible? Cursed Arm can't be targeted!"

Zouken Matou found that every movement he made was interrupted by the other party, which made him a little angry.

"Because this effect doesn't require a target, [Cursed Arm] must be in Defense Position!"

[Cursed Arm] Attack 2900 → Defense 1500.

"I...end my turn!"

Matou Zouken was completely out of cards. If his last card, covered, worked, it would have helped him block a significant number of attacks. Only his Cursed Arm was incapable of being targeted, which would definitely block the next wave of attacks. He glanced again at the two cards in Illya's hand. Starting the next round, there would be three cards. It was impossible not to feel nervous.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Illya began her turn.

"First, the effect of [Kyoushinko] is to remove a material and destroy a Servant on the field. The target I chose is naturally [Matou Zouken]! Delusional Heart Sound!"

【Kuang Xinzi】2000→1500.

The twisted arm grabbed Zouken Matou's heart and squeezed it tightly, about to send him to the grave.

"I should have guessed it earlier!"
