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

Nero (Bride)

Attack damage: 3000 → 3300.

"Finally, I cover the field with 4 cards, ending my turn..."

Gudako suddenly realized something at this time and looked at Jiang You embarrassedly.

"Mr. Jiang You, how many backfields does your deck need?"

Jiang You rolled his eyes, but since this was Gudako's first duel, it was understandable. Luckily, he hadn't included Gilgamesh's small set of cards, and he hadn't seen any Pendulum cards yet, otherwise he would have been even more furious. "Next time, remember to ask this question right at the start."

"I'm sorry, but please forgive me, sir."

"My turn, draw a card!"

Jing Si, who was covered in black energy, began her turn with an expressionless face. Her voice was not as gentle as usual.

"First, I Normal Summon [Quiet Hassan]"

【Silence】Attack power 1500.

"Then there's [Dagger Throw]. Card Name: Once per turn. It can only be used when you have a [Hassan Sabah] Servant on the field. It destroys a Servant lower than 2 stars or a face-down card in the backfield."

Jingmi pointed at a covered card in Gudako's backfield, meaning to destroy it.

"I still want to keep this card, so Your Majesty Nero, please!"

Gudako activated [Nero.

Jiang You was quite familiar with Serenity's cards. He'd actually wanted to warn Gudako about [Pale Dance of Death], which could cause Serenity to jump back and forth, but Gudako's mouth was quicker than her brain, and she'd already unleashed the effect. It wasn't a big deal, though; the kid still had four covered cards in the backfield.

"Enter the combat stage!"

Jingjing started attacking directly.

"[Silence] attacks [Da Vinci]!"

"Its attack power is obviously lower..."

Matthew saw that something was wrong. If the effects of the Servant were obtained based on their own abilities and legends, then the effect of Tranquility must be related to mutual contact.

"The effect of [Silence] is that after the battle, the servants that have fought with her will be directly destroyed. So if necessary, don't let [Da Vinci] get hit."

Jiang You actually didn't think it mattered. After all, after sending [Da Vinci] to the graveyard, he could still pull out a small Da Vinci.

But Gudako obviously has other ideas, and may want to hide the existence of little Da Vinci.

"I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Magic Dress Chaldea] Card Name. Once per turn, choose one of its three effects. I choose the third effect, Emergency Evasion, to negate [Silence]'s attack!"

"Well done."

Quietly leaping from the graveyard and destroying the [Pale Dance of Death], Jiang You couldn't help but cheer. Gudako, as expected, had sharp intuition.

176

Chapter 176: Nero, we haven’t reached your home turf yet, please be patient.

If it was just Serenity's deck, it would be completely blocked, and Serenity could only end the battle phase and set up defense. But the Serenity here is not just Serenity, but Serenity under the influence of Wangha.

"I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Name of Inheritance], send a [Hassan Sabah] on the field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon a [Hassan Sabah] from the Deck. The one I want to summon is [Shining Star Hassan]!"

A brilliant meteor fell from the sky, and a young man wearing the same skull mask as all the Hassans appeared from the shining stardust.

[Shining Star Hassan] Assassin 2 stars, attack power 1600.

"Where is this...? So many Hassan Sabahs gathered together...?"

Yaoxing surveyed his surroundings and realized he was in Hassan's temple. He shuddered, and soon spotted a tall figure. As if in a flash, he knelt before Wang Ha, "Ah, Master Sho-daime!"

"Don't be distracted during the ceremony!"

Wang Ha glanced at Yaoxing and signaled him to quickly enter combat status.

"Yes, yes, Shodai-sama!"

Yaoxing glanced at his younger generation, who seemed to be in a state of disarray. He realized that his successor might be sacrificed. It can only be said that the first generation treated his successor very strictly.

"【Yaoxing】vs【Nero (Bride)】"

Attack! You can choose one of its effects. When you declare battle, you can choose to activate one of the following two effects: 1. Increase your attack by 500 until the end of the turn. 2. Pay 2000 Life Points, increase your attack by 2000 until the end of the turn. After the battle, this card is destroyed.

Shining Star Hassan's Noble Phantasm activates the Magic Circuits throughout his body, significantly increasing his agility and mobility. However, if used for an extended period, the overactive Magic Circuits will be destroyed, and his body will crumble from within.

Therefore, Yaoxing can pay the price and burst out powerful combat power in a short period of time.

"By the way, after dealing damage to the enemy's main player, [Shining Star] can banish itself and one card from the field. He must have been trying to use this effect to banish [Da Vinci] without knowing the effect of [Da Vinci]."

Jiang You added the effects that Jingyi hadn't mentioned in full, and reminded Gudako. It can only be said that servants all have a certain sixth sense.

"I pay 2000 health points to increase its attack power by 2000! Wuxiang Drive Body!"

Hassan of Tranquility & Hassan of Cursed Arms LP 8000 → LP 6000.

The magic circuits in Shining Star Hassan's body were fully activated, and his entire body emitted a dazzling light.

[Shining Star] Attack damage increased from 1600 to 3600.

The meteor hit Nero directly. With Yaoxing's life burning, his attack power exceeded that of Nero with multiple BUFFs stacked on top of him.

"Don't even think about it! I activate the quick-attack magic card [Emperor's Privilege]!"

This is a matching card for the Nero Rome deck, which was also used by the God Ancestor at the time. "The effect I want to choose is [Nero (Bride)]"

Target! Increase your attack and defense by 1000 for this turn!

Nero (Bride)

Attack damage: 3300 → 4300.

Nero's attack power soared to 4300, which exceeded the basic attack power of the crown. The pure white flames of the Primordial Fire in Nero's hand surged, almost penetrating the dome of the Golden Theater.

Even Yaoxing today cannot block this attack.

"In that case, I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Pale Dance of Death]. Once per turn, I Special Summon a [Hassan Sabbah] from my hand in the Graveyard and select a Servant on the field and destroy it! I Special Summon [Serenity]! Destroy the [Elizabeth Bathory] on your field!"

The dragon girl didn't even have a chance to show herself before her throat was slit by the shadow of Silence, and the attack power of Gudako's servants all dropped by 300. Then, Silence jumped into the battlefield.

Nero (Bride)

Attack damage: 4300 → 4000.

[Da Vinci] Attack damage increased from 2500 to 2200.

【Silence】Attack power 1500.

"Because the number of servants on your field has changed! Attack rewind, [Shining Star] attacks [Da Vinci]!"

The plan has changed. If so, I will forcefully change the target and use the effect of [Nero (Bride)] to exclude it.

But Gudako's four covered cards in the backfield are no pushovers. How could such a large backfield be breached so easily? "In that case, I activate the Trap Card [Spirit Shift], select a Servant on my side of the field, and banish it until the end of this turn. I choose [Da Vinci]!"

The Spirit Transfer capsule enveloped Da Vinci, and Yaoxing lost his target once again. The only remaining card on the field was Nero, who had a higher attack power than him.

"Do you think this is the end?"

Serenity slapped a card onto the field. It belonged to Shining Star. "I activate the Quick-Play Magic Card [Battle Acceleration (Shadow)]. This card activates by selecting a [Hassan Sabbah], reducing its attack power to half, allowing it to directly attack the main combatant. If the target is Shining Star, after dealing damage, you can draw a card."

[Shining Star] Attack damage increased from 3600 to 800.

"【Shining Star】directly attack Gudako!"

In fact, Yaoxing was already numb by now. In his memory, his Noble Phantasm had never lasted so long. Although he would not die immediately due to the influence of the duel rules, the pain was real. He just wanted to quickly deliver this attack and then get off work.

Little did he know that someone had already set his sights on him. This was a rare exclusion effect, so how could Jiang You let it go?

Jiang You looked at Gudako's last face-down card. It was a Chaldea spell card, [Heroic Spirit Summoning System]. Gudako had simply face-down it to avoid the negative effects of [Da Vinci]. Its effect: It can only be used when the enemy has a Servant on the field. Turn over the top card of the deck. If it's not a Servant, banish it and continue turning over the next card. If you turn over a Servant, stop turning over cards and add it to your hand or Special Summon it.

Judging from the effect, it is obviously a frequent visitor to pranks. Unfortunately, it is impossible to avoid servants in battles in the linkage, so it cannot be said to be very useful in the current environment.

This time, Gudako was unable to block the attack, and the shining star transformed into a meteor and crashed into her.

Jiang You & Fujimaru Ritsuka LP 8000 → LP 7200.

"The effect of [Shining Star] is to banish itself and one card on the field after dealing damage to the main player. I'm going to choose [Nero (Bride)]."

"Eh?"

Nero was sent into the exclusion zone before he could even swing his sword.

177

Chapter 177: Hassan Civil War belongs to yes.

"[Battle Speed ​​​​Up (Shadow)]'s effect: draw a card after dealing damage."

Jingmi replenished her hand to two cards.

"Next is [Silence]'s direct attack!"

Now that Gudako had no servants on the field, she could deal damage directly. Jingmi threw several throwing knives, hitting Gudako's body.

Jiang You & Fujimaru Ritsuka LP 7200 → LP 5700.

"Woo..."

Although the health bar was shared equally with Jiang You, the four-digit damage still made Gudako feel a sting. The pain brought by the dark game was much greater than that of a normal battle.

"Senior, it's okay!"

Matthew said with concern, Gudako is the backbone of everyone, it is impossible for her not to be worried.

"If you can't hold on, let the Heroic Spirit come, Guda... As the last Master, Fujimaru Ritsuka, you can't afford any mistakes."

Jiang You's original intention was to improve his favorability, but he couldn't figure out Gudako's personality. Gudako's interests and hobbies were not as detailed as those written by the Heroic Spirit, so he could only act according to his own temperament.

"Thanks for your concern, but this way I can also help Matthew and the others."

Gudako waved her hand to indicate that she was fine. She worked hard to learn martial arts from the heroic spirits in the singularity so that it would be useful one day. She didn't want to hide behind the heroic spirits all the time, as she would always encounter difficulties that she would have to overcome on her own.

"I'm too weak and powerless. Giving up just because of some pain is not like me!"

Jiang You thought to himself that you would tear apart beast-class servants and beat up main god-class servants with your bare hands in the future, but you still don’t have the strength.

"Although it can be used for other things, dark games essentially affect the soul. You'd better stop."

"Finally, I cover two cards and end my turn."

Jingmi also finished playing her own cards.

"At this moment, the effect of [Spirit Transfer] is activated, and [Da Vinci] returns to the field!"

【Da Vinci】Attack power 2200.

"Hi~ Da Vinci is back again!"

Da Vinci looked around himself and found that all the other servants had left the field, and only Gudako was left with a lonely covered card in the backfield.

"It seems like you're in for a tough fight, Ritsuka-chan. But you've tried your best, so leave the rest to us Heroic Spirits."

Da Vinci turned her attention to Jiang You. Even with her intelligence, she couldn't guess which servant this outrageous Noble Phantasm belonged to. It was impossible for her not to be curious. If she had the chance, she would definitely find out. However, there was no need to rush into Jiang You's Noble Phantasm now. Da Vinci felt that his deck could explain everything.

"Sir Jiang You, I'll leave it to you from now on. Please protect our Master. All of us in Chaldea will be grateful."

"There's no need to be so polite. The last Master of mankind will surely accomplish the great cause of saving the world."

Maybe others think Jiang You is picking on the good things, but Jiang You is telling the truth.

"Then, my turn, draw a card!"

Jiang You looked at the cards in his hand. Gudako had consumed too many of the opponent's cards at one time. It seemed that it would not be her turn to use the Curse Arm next. He could deal with the remaining 6000 LP in one round.

Everyone stared at Jiang You, wanting to see his stories and legends.

"First, I Normal Summon [Hundred Faces], and with [Hundred Faces]'s effect, I Special Summon as many cards of the same name as possible from my deck."

Jiang You still started with Baimao. Currently, his deck has a little system except Hassan and Illya, but Hassan is still the most convenient to use.

【Hundred Appearances】Attack power 800*2.

【Bai Mao (Host)】

Attack power 800.

【Morning Glory】Attack power 0.
