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

Despite saying this, Illya's raised lip revealed her true thoughts. This made Minamoto no Raikou look quite worried. She felt that her child was too easy to coax.

Over the past decade, Illya has either been transforming her body or practicing magic to prepare for the Holy Grail War. No one has ever spoken to her in a way that agrees with her, so it is natural that she is easy to coax.

"Next, in Main Phase Two, I activate the Perpetual Spell Card [Hundred Man's Collection], liberating a [Hundred Faces] on the field and drawing a card!"

Since Illya has used up her backfield, there is no need to be careful anymore. Jiang You can replenish his hand with confidence. He replenished his hand to four cards.

"Finally, I cover three cards in my backfield and end my turn."

Jiang You also covered [Ring the Death Knell]. There was no card in his deck that required a Cost to activate, so he might as well use it as a confusing trap to see if he could get a destructive effect.

"You didn't just destroy Minamoto no Raikou?"

Illya was very disappointed as she held the only card in her hand.

"Of course not."

The effect of not being affected by other cards is still too troublesome for Jiang You's current situation. Before he has sufficient response capabilities, he thinks it is safer to keep a blank Minamoto no Raikou on the field.

"Then it's my turn, draw a card!"

Illya replenished her hand to two cards.

"First, with the effect of [Snow Castle], I'll add an [Illya] to my hand and activate [Illya's] effect to Special Summon it to the field!"

Illya in her normal form walked into the battle area.

【Illya】Attack power 1500.

"Then the effect of [Cloak of Heaven] in the Graveyard, once per turn, banish [Illya] from the Graveyard and Special Summon it to the field!"

【Clothes of Heaven】Attack power 1500.

"2+4=6, I..."

Illya has once again fulfilled the summoning conditions for [Illya (Cloak of Heaven)], and the troublesome servant who cannot be defeated but can be destroyed ineffectively is about to appear again.

Jiang You definitely couldn't let Illya successfully summon her Celestial Clothes form again. "I activate the Quick-Play Magic Card [Pale Dance of Death]. Card Name: Once per turn, Special Summon a [Hassan Sabbah] from the Graveyard and select a Servant on the field and destroy it! I will Special Summon [Hundred Faces (Host)] from the Graveyard in Defense Position and destroy your [Celestial Clothes]!"

The spotlight locked onto the blank battle area, and Baimao, dressed in an evening gown, appeared amidst colorful flowers and gold powder.

【Bai Mao (Host)】

Defense: 800.

"[Hundred Faces (Host)]'s effect, I declare: Magic Card!"

Jiang You still chose the magic card. As the largest type of card, this is definitely the right choice.

This time it finally worked. It was the right type of card, and it was usable. The card I turned over was: [Bookkeeper of Hidden Knowledge]

With the appearance of Baimao, the phantom from Jingmi also invaded Tianzhiyi, successfully sending it back to the graveyard.

"In that case, I activate my own effect and Special Summon a second Minamoto no Raikou from the Deck in Attack Position!"

Illya freed herself and summoned her second form, Minamoto no Raikou, raising her own field attack to a terrifying 6000.

【Minamoto no Raikou】Attack power 3000*2.

"Then there's the Quick-Play Spell Card, Thunder God's Manifestation! It increases Minamoto no Raikou's attack by 1000 points and destroys all Servants on the field with less than 2000 attack points!" Illya liberated herself to avoid the effects of this card.

Minamoto no Raikou: Attack: 3000 → 4000

"Rather than letting you destroy them, I'd rather cook them myself... No, I'll liberate them myself. The permanent magic card [Hundred Man's Collection] can be activated even during the enemy's turn. I'll [Hundred Faces (Host)]..."

Liberate! Draw a card! "

The remaining Hundred Faces was directly defeated by Minamoto no Raikou's thunder.

"In that case, I will enter the battle phase!"

Jiang You will be faced with a field attack of up to 7000 points.

Chapter 165 Jiang You: So why do all the Heroic Spirits like Gudako?

"First, it's Minamoto no Raikou's attack with 3000 attack power!"

Jiang You's front field had been cleared, and Illya launched an attack directly. If one of the two Minamoto no Raikou could hit Jiang You, the duel would end immediately.

Of course, Illya also knew that Jiang You would not be defeated so easily. She did not forget the Servant that Jiang You had just returned to his hand.

"I activate the effect of the hand card [Morning Glory] and change the attacking [Minamoto no Raikou] to Defense Position!"

Jiang You decisively used the little loli who had the same effect as a spherical object.

[Minamoto no Raikou] Attack 3000 → Defense 2000.

"In that case, let's strike a second time!"

Illya commanded Minamoto no Raikou's main body with 4000 attack power to launch an attack.

"It's about time."

Although there is a [Stealth Transformation] in Jiang You's graveyard that can convert a combat damage into 0, this effect does not work on attacking servants. It can only work on Minamoto no Raikou who is temporarily fully resistant, so he doesn't want to use it here.

"I activate the Trap Card [Supporting Shot]! Destroy [Minamoto no Raikou]!"

"Illya is getting impatient! I activate the Trap Card [Infinite Martial Arts] in my hand! When a Servant related to [Minamoto no Raikou] on your side of the field is destroyed, this card can be activated directly from your hand! I Special Summon [Minamoto no Raikou] to my field and Special Summon [Ibaraki Douji] to your field!"

The cards Illya had been holding for a long time finally took effect. "These two cards will not be affected by the effects of other cards until the start of my next turn."

Thunder and Ghost Hand entangled with each other, and then after a violent collision, they fell into opposing battle areas and turned into two servants.

【Minamoto no Raikou】Attack power 3000.

[Ibaraki Douji] Attack power 2400.

"Why is it this cow again? Where's that kid Watanabe Tsuna?"

Ibaraki Douji looked at Minamoto no Raikou and clicked her tongue. Shuten hated Minamoto no Raikou, so she also hated Minamoto no Raikou very much. "Who is the manipulator this time?"

Ibaraki Douji looked at Jiang You. Jiang You was clearly a Heroic Spirit like her, but he didn't look like he had any martial arts skills. He looked a little unreliable. "You look good, but you're a Heroic Spirit after all. You can't be as useless as that blue seaweed-haired guy who makes me leave right after I appear, right?"

Jiang You looked at his hand and realized he couldn't save Ibaraki Douji. This was clearly a chance to improve his favorability, so Jiang You could only shrug.

"I'm sorry, I'm not even as good as Shinji-kun."

Jiang Youzhu was honest: "He at least let you play one round, but you have to leave now."

"No, are you such a shrew?"

Ibaraki Douji didn't expect Jiang You to say these words. No matter what, the Heroic Spirit should be stronger than that guy who looks weak, right?

"After all, your current role is just a tool for testing swords. If you can give me a complete [Oeyama] deck, I can let you show off your skills."

Jiang You tries to trick Ibaraki into handing over his cards.

"just you?"

Ibaraki Douji quickly waved her hand. According to her aesthetic taste, she simply looked down upon a guy like Jiang You who obviously had no martial arts skills.

"That's impossible. I advise you to give up on this idea. If I follow you, I'll lose seven times in three days. I'd rather choose you than that Seaweed Head!"

Ibaraki Douji said that strength speaks for itself. Jiang You thinks it's absurd that Gudako can make every Heroic Spirit fall in love with her. These servants have completely different needs and hobbies. Jiang You can treat them with the right medicine. Does Gudako really not have any special brainwashing protection?

"Because Minamoto no Raikou has been summoned again, he can launch one more attack. The target is Ibaraki Douji!"

Illya gave the attack order without waiting for Jiang You and Ibaraki Douji to finish their conversation.

"You just said something very rude, didn't you?"

Minamoto no Raikou rushed to Ibaraki Douji in one swift step, and Doujikiri Yasunaga slashed down with thunder! "A bug is a bug, go back to hell!"

Ibaraki Douji, who was still chatting with Jiang You, was sent to the cemetery before he even had time to react.

River tour LP 1750 → LP 1150.

"[Minamoto no Raikou]'s effect: When destroying a Servant, add an Equipment Spell Card [Dojikiri Yasutsuna] to your hand!"

Illya drew a card from her deck.

"Main Stage 2, I will equip [Dojikiri Yasutsuna] to [Minamoto no Raikou]"

Because [Minamoto no Raikou] is not affected by the effects of other cards for the time being, his attack power has not changed.

"By the effect of [Doujikiri Yasutsuna], send a [Shuten-doji] from your deck to the graveyard and draw a card!"

Illya looked at the cards she drew and smiled with satisfaction: "Then I activate [Mysterious Killer], send a Servant from Kazu to the Graveyard, and add a Servant card related to [Minamoto no Raikou] or [Raikou's Four Heavenly Kings] to my hand. If the Servant sent to the Graveyard is [Oeyama]'s Servant, an additional related Equipment Spell Card will be added to my hand. I send [Shuten-doji] to the Graveyard, and add a [Sakata Gintoki] and [Spider Cut] to my hand!"

"[Sakata Kintoki]'s effect allows [Minamoto no Raikou] to be summoned directly without a sacrifice!"

Amidst the golden flashes of lightning, Kintoki, dressed in a more modern style, appeared. Armed with the knowledge gained from his previous appearances, he adjusted his attire slightly. With a white shirt, black sunglasses, and a muscular build, he looked like a big brother from the Yakuza set next door.

【Sakata Gintoki】Attack power 2500.

"Boss, nice to see you again! And Master, seeing you so energetic is truly GOLDEN!"

"Mom is a little worried about you."

Minamoto no Raikou pulled her cheek and showed dissatisfaction with Kintoki's outfit, her eyes full of worry about the future, although there was no such thing as a Servant.

"Don't learn those messy things."

"..."

Jin Shi really didn't know how to answer. If he refused, it would obviously cause more trouble.

"Then use the effect of [Sakata Kintoki]! Choose a card on the field and destroy it! I chose [Hundred Man Collection]. Since I didn't choose a Servant, I can't deal direct damage!"

Illya decisively destroyed the continuous magic cards that replenished and destroyed Jiang You's field.

"Golden shock!"

Illya saw Jintoki's dilemma and immediately prepared a step for him.

"Oh, leave it to me!"

Jintoki responded immediately.

Jiang You's available backfield was also cleared, while Illya's situation hardly changed. It was almost impossible for Minamoto no Raikou to break through. With full blood, Illya had a considerable advantage.

"That's amazing~ Illya."

Jiang You took every opportunity to praise him.

"Don't try that! You're not that easy to be defeated!"

Illya had already noticed the clues because of his excessive boasting. She stamped her feet and said, "Fight honestly!"

"Then, my turn, draw a card!"

Jiang You replenished his hand to 3 cards.

"First, [Librarian of Hidden Knowledge] selects three cards from the graveyard, adds one to the hand, and returns the other two to the deck! I chose [Hundred Faces] [Hundred Faces (Host)]."

[Fanatical Faithful Son], among them, I will add [Hundred Faces] to my hand! "

"Next, I Normal Summon [Hundred Faces]! [Hundred Faces] uses its Hundred Faces effect to Special Summon [Hundred Faces (Host)] from the Deck!"

【Hundred Appearances】Attack power 800.

【Bai Mao (Host)】

Attack power 800.

"Then there's the effect of [Hundred Faces (Host)], I declare a magic card!"

The card Jiang You turned out this time was [Delusion and Illusion], which can be said to have the full bond.

"Now that I have this card, I'll just activate it! I activate [Delusion]! Summon all three Hundred Faces in the graveyard!"

All the monsters appeared neatly on Jiang You's field again.

【Hundred Appearances】Attack power 800*3.

【Morning Glory】Defense 0.

"And then this card, the Quick-Play Spell Card [Encyclopedia Mastery]! Since there are five [Hasan Sabbahs] on the field, all three effects are activated! All Assassins on the field gain 500 attack points until the end of the turn! Select a Spell or Trap Card in your opponent's backfield and destroy it! Draw 1 card from your deck! I'm going to destroy [Dojikiri Yasutsuna]!"

If Illya were to replenish resources, they would probably lose quite badly, not to mention that Minamoto no Raikou could use the ghosts in the cemetery to break the enemy's defense.

[Hundred Faces] Attack: 800*4 → 1300*4.

"I'll stack four [Hundred Faces] here, and Xyz Summon [Fanatical] in Defense Position!"
