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

Back in the beta, someone did something strange to the Dark Magician Girl, and got banned. Looking at the current situation, the players can't be blamed entirely.

Just as Jiang You was lost in thought, he received a warning from the system in his email. It roughly meant, "Please do not challenge the tolerance of the review process." The text was all in red, and he seemed extremely anxious.

"So is this thing manually detected or system-monitored?"

Jiang Youxin thought that this thing came at too timely a time. If it was a system, it would be okay, but if it was manual, it would be a bit scary.

"Bellerophon!"

Medusa didn't know what Jiang You was thinking. She controlled Pegasus, and the Pegasus turned into a silver meteor and shot straight into the sky, then drew a perfect arc and crashed straight into the light curtain.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Gawain, standing on a high place, looked at the oncoming crowd and released his own Noble Phantasm.

200

Chapter 200: Gorilla, your attack power is too scary!

"This sword is a replica of the sun. The sun's flame of purification, burning away all impurities. —Sword of the Wheel of Victory! (Excalibur Galatine)!"

The slash of the Rotating Victory Sword unleashed a torrent of flames, so vast that even Pegasus couldn't dodge in time. Jiang You felt his vision instantly engulfed in flames, and the heat wave burned his lungs with every breath. It was daytime, and Gawain, with his triple power, could easily shatter the spiritual bases of Jiang You and Medusa.

But it doesn't matter. Jiang You has already captured Gawain within the range of his treasure. Soon this attack will be invalidated and turned into a duel invitation. Jiang You can actively enter the duel.

Facing the Rotating Sword of Victory's attack, Jiang You quickly severed his connection with Medusa, returning her to the world of War 5. After all, Medusa was notoriously thin-skinned, and Jiang You didn't want to see her reduced to a roasted snake. Without Pegasus's support, Jiang You continued to charge headfirst into the center of the heat wave.

"Invasion from the air is certainly one approach."

Gawain finally felt relieved after watching the enemy being devoured by his own Noble Phantasm. "But invading during the day isn't a wise move. The view is too wide. You don't have a choice, though. Next, just wait quietly for the Queen to finish...!!!"

The consequences of being attacked from a distance after the Noble Phantasm was activated were now determined. Jiang You appeared in front of Gawain without any warning.

"You managed to emerge from my Noble Phantasm unscathed!"

This wasn't just any Gawain, this was Nevernight Gawain, who possessed a triple-duration effect under the protection of the Lion King. Not many servants could withstand the attack of the Noble Phantasm he released, let alone Jiang You, whose body was spotless.

Gawain dismissed the soldiers who wanted to come to support him. He knew that facing an enemy of this level, even more ordinary soldiers would only die. "Tell me your name, invader. With such strength, you must be no unknown person. In that case, I, the Knight of the Round Table—Gawain, hereby challenge you!"

"Jiang You!"

As Jiang You announced his name, the duel space began!

Jiangyou LP 4000.

Gao Wen LP 4000.

"A Noble Phantasm that changes the rules of a duel?"

Gawain might be a muscular gorilla, but his brains weren't on the same level as Mordred's. After all, a brainless person wouldn't be so well-regarded by his companions. Gawain quickly read through the knowledge that appeared in his mind (?). "You are the special Servant my king spoke of, right? With a defense that can ignore my Noble Phantasm, and this amazing Noble Phantasm, it's no surprise that Tristan and Mordred were defeated by you."

Gawain seemed to have mistaken Jiang You's immunity to attacks as Jiang You's own ability. This was a good thing, as Jiang You would not be subjected to unnecessary attacks before reaching the Lion King.

"I may not be your opponent either."

Gawain drew five cards from his deck. "But I will do my best to stop you from interfering with the King. First, my turn!"

"First, I activate the Spell Card [Rectification Army] to Special Summon two [Rectification Knights] of different classes from my Deck!"

Exactly the same as Tristan's card, two fully armed silver knights stepped onto the battlefield with heavy steps.

[Righteous Knight L]: Attack power 1000.

[Righteous Knight A]: Attack power 1200.

"I will then sacrifice [Knight of Uprightness L] and summon [Knight Gawain of the Round Table]!"

As expected, the Knights of the Round Table can summon themselves into the game in the first round.

The sun was high in the sky, and a white knight emerged from the sun and landed on the battlefield.

【Knights of the Round Table Gawain】

Saber 6 stars, attack power 2500.

"My own effect: When this card is Special Summoned, add a [Sword of Rotating Victory] to my hand! Then, I equip this sword to myself!"

[Gawain] Attack power 2500 → Attack power 3000

"I'm sure you've seen it before. I activate the King's Divine Protection! The Continuous Spell Card [Nevernight's Blessing] targets me, [Gawain]. While this card is on the field, the selected Knight of the Round Table's Attack and Defense are tripled. Also, during your turn, if the selected Servant has no Equip Cards, you can activate this effect once per turn to equip an Equip Card from your Graveyard to the selected Servant. While this card is face-up, all coin flip effects are locked to heads up."

The original game had Gawain unleashing his Noble Phantasm once per turn, but here, the equipment card is repeatedly flipped, as the unleashing effect is on the sword. The coin flip determines whether it's day or night, and the effect of no night forces it to be day.

[Sword of Rotating Victory] Increases the equipped Servant's Attack by 500. Activate only when the equipped Servant is destroyed by a card effect. Tribute this card, negating this effect. Once per turn, during your turn, Tribute this card to destroy all face-up Servants on your opponent's side of the field. During this turn, the equipped Servant cannot declare an attack.

This has a similar effect to [Sword of Victory Contract], but the armor penetration is now negated once. While it loses 500 points of attack damage, it's more versatile. Of course, since Ahoge's defense is on him, he's not particularly dependent on this effect.

[Gawain] Attack power 3000 → Attack power 7500

7500 attack points is indeed the highest value ever seen. The triple effect emphasizes its own ability, and the holy sword becomes something like an overpowered material. However, like the original, it is very afraid of Wang Ha's effects.

"Then I cover a card on the field, ending my turn!"

The cards of the Knights of the Round Table tend to be open cards, with fair battles, so there are very few backfields.

Gao Wen's extremely high attack power basically eliminates the possibility of being broken in battle, but for Jiang You, effectively breaking the field is the most abundant means of clearing the field.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Jiang You began his turn, and he made his most frequent opening move, "I Normal Summon [Hundred Faces]! With the effect of Hundred Faces, all cards with the same name are Special Summoned from the Deck!"

【Hundred Appearances】Attack power 800*4.

【Morning Glory】Attack power 0.

"Host's effect: declare a card name! I'm declaring a magic card!"

A [Shining Star] was added from the top of the deck, which just happened to complement Wang Ha's ritual magic card, so it was a win.

"Then I will activate [Hundred Man's Collection], liberate [Hundred Faces], and destroy your backfield cover cards!"

It's common sense to deal with the pitfalls early.

"A very wise decision. Unfortunately, I will directly 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 battle!"

This is the history of Gawain and the Green Knight, the legendary belt that makes people invulnerable.

201

Chapter 201: Gao Wen: Angry, but not surprised. It's not the first time anyway.

Gao Wen LP 4000 → LP 3000.

I have to say that while the Knights of the Round Table are mostly open cards, they're still a bit tough to beat in this situation. Without a few hidden cards, it's really hard to get through. Removing Gawain now requires two untargeted destruction effects, which Jiang You doesn't have yet, so he'll have to survive another round.

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

The neatly dressed and murderous-looking Kuang Xinzi broke through the shadows and jumped into the battlefield. Since she saw Wang Ha, she has obviously become much more serious.

[Fanatical] Defense: 1000.

Gawain glanced at Fanatic. This girl exuded a dangerous aura, clearly much stronger than the other Hassans. He hadn't expected the Mountain People to possess such a powerful force. This summoning condition, similar to the Lion King's, required a large number of Servants. Perhaps this was their trump card, right?

"Then it's [Battle Retreat], I return [Morning Glory] to my hand, and draw a card."

There is a high probability that it will be directly destroyed and sent away by the group in the next round, and there is no chance to cheat the effect, so I used it directly.

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

"Are we only using Servants with 1000 defense as our defense?"

Gawain didn't think that the three excess materials stacked under the Zealot card were just for show and that he needed to be careful.

"My turn, draw a card!"

"First, I activate the effect of the Equip Spell Card, releasing [Sword of Rotating Victory] and destroying all of your servants on the field!"

Gawain released his holy sword without a second thought. The long sword, emitting a scorching light, was thrown into the air, forming a burning sun disk.

Then Gawain took the burning holy sword that fell from the sun and swung it forward, unleashing a torrent of flames.

"[Fanatical] effect: remove an excess material as a replacement. It will not be destroyed by the effect!"

Fanatic still has two extra materials left and can withstand two more destructions.

"That's indeed the case, but it's also great to be able to try out the specific effects."

Gawain guessed this result. A Czar Servant is most terrifying when it has materials. Being able to consume materials steadily is a good thing. "[Nevernight's Blessing] effect, re-equip [Sword of Rotating Victory] to myself from the graveyard!"

"I activate the Spell Card [Glorious Knights of the Round Table]. This can only be activated when you have only [Knights of the Round Table] servants on the field. Once per turn, Special Summon 1 [Knight of the Round Table] from your Deck. I Special Summon [Knight Lancelot of the Round Table] from my Deck!"

A lake covered the battlefield, and the knights on the lake were walking on the surface, with ripples coming.

【Lancelot】Attack power 2400.

"Lancelot, how are things going over there?"

Gawain also inquired about Lancelot's situation and passed on information. Previously, he thought Chaldea was the most threatening rebel, but he didn't expect there were even more dangerous servants hiding.

"Regardless of whether you have successfully pursued the Chaldeans, please return to the Holy City immediately. We have all been deceived. This Eastern Servant named Jiang You is the greatest enemy!"

Lancelot saw the light curtain rising in the center of Camelot and realized that the Lion King had begun the final step of his plan.

"There's not much time left..."

"There really isn't much time left."

Gawain didn't think he could defeat the servant who even made the Lion King feel anxious. He needed Lancelot to come back for support as soon as possible. One more person could delay Jiang You for more time, allowing the king to complete his plan.

"So, hurry back to defense. If I lose, Aguguiwen won't be able to stop him!"

"I didn't expect things to get to this point. Your name is Jiang You, right? I will pass the information to Matthew and the others."

Lancelot knew that this singularity would soon be destroyed. He knew the Lion King's current strength. Regardless of the source of the blessing, all the blessed Knights of the Round Table would be no match for the Lion King. He didn't believe Jiang You could single-handedly defeat the Lion King. "If possible, please destroy me quickly. I will come with support."

"What are you talking about!? You bastard!"

Gawain never expected Lancelot to betray the king again. He had clearly chosen to trust Lancelot. "Isn't once enough? You should have resisted when summoned. That way you could at least be considered a knight. Aren't you ashamed of yourself, such a disloyal and unrighteous fellow?"

"Advising the king and correcting his mistakes is also what a knight should do!"

Lancelot was essentially doing this for his daughter, so of course he couldn't say that out loud. "The queen is now on the wrong path. As a knight, you should stop her and point out her mistakes! Gawain, you're the one who's betrayed!"

"You want to pass on the message? I won't let you succeed!"

Now the Lion King only has two Knights of the Round Table left, and Gawain will never let Lancelot go easily.

"I activate the Spell Card [Number of Saints]! It can only be activated when there are three Servants on the field. Toss three coins and the effect will be activated based on the number of heads on the coins."

"Because of the effect of the continuous magic card [Nevernight's Blessing], all three coins are heads!"

Cu Chulainn would probably shed tears after seeing this effect, but Cu Chulainn's coin tossing was also quite stable, stably triggering the worst effect.

"Activate all three effects! ① Increase the attack and defense of your servants by 333. ② Select a servant on the field and grant that servant an effect that makes it indestructible by effects. ③ Designate a servant and grant it three attacks this turn! And until the end of the turn, the opponent cannot activate Trap Cards!"

"I choose [Lancelot], which won't be destroyed by the effect, and I can attack three times myself!"

Gawain wanted to use the fact that he could not be broken to protect Lancelot, and Lancelot's attack power after the upgrade was greater than 2700 points and was not easily destroyed in battle.

[Righteous Knight A] Attack Strength 1200 → 1533

[Lancelot] Attack power 2400 → 2733

"Then, let's enter the battle phase!"

Gawain finished his cards and launched his attack.

"First, the attack of [Righteous Knight A]!"

As an assassin, Fanatic's defense is naturally not very high, and the Knight of Justice took away an excess material from her.

"Then the traitor [Lancelot] attacks!"

Even if Lancelot was unwilling, he still had to listen to Gawain when he arrived at the battle area.

"And three attacks of my own!"

Gao Wen looked at the backcourt where Jiang You didn't move at all, it seemed that it was all a trap card.

Gawain's attack power combined with three attacks and the ability to be immune to traps is indeed a bit scary, but Jiang You has other ways to deal with it.

"Don't worry, I'll activate the effect of the hand card [Morning Glory]."

The effect of the Kurosaurus sphere is so reassuring.
