A duelist never gives up!

But if it were Julie, she might still be able to fall into the trap.

Assuming there aren't too many red pits in Sera...

Just as Harachi and Yukikaze were talking, Sera moved.

"I enter the main phase!" Sera said, and without hesitation, she slapped a card in her hand on the duel disk and said:

"I Normal Summon Trion's Worm!"

Trion, with a silly look on her face, appeared on Sera's field again, observing her surroundings curiously with her bright big eyes, like a child, exuding an air of ignorance and innocence.

However, everyone present knew that the monster before them was not as harmless as it appeared.

"I activate the effect of Trion's Worm Bewitching!" Sera stretched out her hand and said crisply, "This card can only be activated when it is successfully summoned. Add a 'Hole' Normal Trap Card or a 'Pitfall' Normal Trap Card from your deck to your hand!"

"If the opponent is Undying Jun, which trap card would you choose to use?" Yuan Qi looked at Sera on the field and whispered softly.

However, something happened that Yuan Qi did not expect. A cold voice suddenly rang out in the empty training room.

"chain."

Julie calmly inserted a card into the Duel Board and said, "I activate the effect of Veiler: During your opponent's Main Phase, send this card from your hand to the Graveyard. This effect targets 1 Effect Monster your opponent controls. The effects of that opponent's monster are negated until the end of that turn."

"I target the Trion's Worm Bewitching Demon on your field. I negate its effects!"

Chapter 16: The Evil Eyes of the Undead King!

With a silver bell-like chuckle, the effect masker with black stockings wrapped around her white and tender thighs appeared in front of the Worm Demon of Trion, and wrapped Trion's entire body with two long transparent silks on her back, negating Trion's effect.

"There were unexpected developments right from the start." Yuan Qi said with interest.

"This way, Senior Sister Sera will have one less obstacle." Xuefeng clenched her pink little fists and said solemnly.

"I say..." Yuan Qi looked at Xuefeng and asked in surprise, "Why have you been acting like you're worried about Julie since the beginning?"

"Hmm..." Xuefeng scratched his cheek, a little embarrassed, "How should I put it? Although Senior Sister Sera always likes to say some strange things, and always says that she is a genius and very strong, but..."

"Actually, Senior Sera is really strong, right?" Xuefeng said softly.

Be it Xyz Summoning or Link Summoning, Sera is always the first one to learn it besides Genshichi. Although she doesn't practice Duel much, her Duel level is surprisingly high. Although she always looks lazy on weekdays, she never fails at important moments.

Whether it was the competition with the Red Lotus Society or the National College Competition, Sera's performance was remarkable and received rave reviews from the audience.

On the contrary, senior Julie... seemed to be struggling.

Almost every duel was a struggle, as if walking on a tightrope; one wrong step would result in a complete loss.

And actually, they did lose one game.

"Do you think Julie will lose?" Yuan Qi chuckled.

"Well... after all, Senior Sister Sera took the first move." Xuefeng said with averted eyes. Although it was a bit unfair to Senior Sister Julie to say this, she had heard the saying that the first to attack is half the battle won.

"It's hard to say." Yuan Qi shook his head.

Undead Jun with the Deathly Lord and Undead Jun without the Deathly Lord are two different decks.

"How can I draw it with only one card?" Sera looked at the invalidated Tryon on her field, frowned, but soon relaxed his eyebrows.

It’s okay, I still have three trap cards in my hand, which should be enough to deal with her.

Thinking of this, Sera reached out and said, "I'm setting the Trion Worm Demon on the field to the connection mark!"

"Connect Summon!"

"Sera's Worm Demon!"

A blue connection circuit appeared in mid-air, and accompanied by a dazzling light, a little girl who looked exactly like Sera appeared on Sera's field with a smile on her face.

"It appeared, I summoned myself." Ai, who was floating in the air, couldn't help but complain when he saw this scene.

Yuan Qi glanced at Xuefeng and Nero beside him and did not respond to Ai's words.

"Next, I cover three cards, and the round ends." Sera inserted three cards from her hand into the duel disk, ending the round cleanly and neatly.

After all, Insect Fiend is just a beat deck, and there are not many steps to develop it.

"Then, my turn, draw a card!"

"brush!"

Julie stretched out her finger and pulled out a card.

"I enter the main phase," Julie said, pulling a card from her left hand and slapping it directly onto the Duel Board. "I Normal Summon a Unison Zombie."

"Hey, hey, hey, you're summoning such an important initial move right from the start?" Sera's eyelids twitched. "Shouldn't you normally use some unimportant cards to trick the opponent into a counter attack first?"

"Yeah, so, do you want Kang or not?" Julie said jokingly.

Sierra looked at the ugly monster on Julie's field and fell into deep thought.

The Chorus Zombie not only has a graveyard effect, but can also send a card in the hand to the graveyard. It is also a tuner monster that can help Julie perform a Synchro Summon.

It can be said that it is a high-quality first-time album in all aspects.

Such an important card was actually thrown out at the beginning. If it was used as bait, wouldn’t it be too precious?

Sera hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and flipped open one of her covered cards: "I activate the Trap Card, Bottomless Pitfall!"

"Change all your Chorus Zombies to face-down Defense Position!"

Never mind. It would be troublesome if I missed the opportunity.

The Singing Zombie, who had just appeared, had not yet stood firmly when a huge pit appeared under his feet. The next second, the Singing Zombie turned into a covered card.

"Next, I activate the effect of Sera's Bug Bewitcher, which can only be activated when a Trap Card is normally activated. Special Summon 1 "Bug Bewitcher" monster from your Deck without a card of the same name on your side of the field!"

"Wait!" Yuan Qi shouted subconsciously after hearing Sera's operation, but it was too late. Sera's Worm Demon on the field heard the command of his duelist, and he mobilized his power without hesitation and began to summon his companions.

"I special summon Tio's Worm Demon from the deck to the field!" Sera Jiao shouted.

The black-haired Tio Worm Demon appeared on the duel field with an expressionless face. His dark red eyes revealed an ethereal feeling that made people dare not look at him.

"Oh no, there really is a problem." Ai couldn't help but sneered.

"Let's talk about it after the duel is over." Yuan Qi said helplessly.

Sera, still in the middle of a Duel, remained oblivious to her mistake, opting instead to continue replenishing her resources. "I activate the effect of Tio's Worm Charm. When this card is successfully Special Summoned, I can target 1 "Hole" Normal Trap Card or "Pitfall" Normal Trap Card in your Graveyard. Set that card on your side of the field!"

Sera said, reaching out to cover the bottomless pit she had just used in the cemetery back on her own field.

"At the same time, because the monster effect of the Bug Bewitcher on my field is activated, I activate the effect of Sera's Bug Bewitcher and cover my field with Grave Holes from my deck."

In an instant, Sera's backfield covered cards suddenly became four. If two of them could not be activated this round, there would probably be no suspense in this duel.

However, facing Sera's terrifying four backfield cards, Julie's expression remained calm. She simply inserted a card into the Duel Board and said, "I activate the Spell Card - Foolish Burial."

"Send Banshee from the Corpse World to the Graveyard from the Deck."

"I then activate Banshee's effect, banishing this card, and from my deck I activate a Field Spell Card—Undead World!"

As the undead world was activated, a dark and deadly aura filled the entire training ground, as if it was making advance preparations for the arrival of a certain king.

"It's coming." Yuan Qi couldn't help but speak when he saw this scene.

"I activate the effect of my Jack Pumpkin!" Julie showed the Jack Pumpkin in her hand. "Send the Growing Flower from your hand to the Graveyard, and Special Summon this card from your hand!"

Jack Pumpkin, with will-o'-the-wisp glowing from his eyes, appeared on Julie's duel field with a sinister laugh. However, Julie was not in the mood to pay attention to Jack Pumpkin at the moment. Instead, she focused her attention on the little red flower in the cemetery.

"I activate the effect of Growing Flower, banishing this card and adding 1 Level 5 or higher Undead-Type monster from my deck to my hand. Even if there's an Undead World in the Field Zone, I can Special Summon it without adding it to my hand!" Julie said, her lips curling up slightly as she excitedly stretched out her hand and shouted:

"Show up! My ace!"

"The Evil Eyes of the Undead King!!!"

Chapter 17: Monsters should look like monsters!

Blue phantom fire suddenly appeared out of nowhere, accompanied by an irrepressible breath of death. The Undead King, holding a golden staff, appeared in front of Julie's eyes, swinging his huge body with evil eyes.

Compared with the two cute and innocent little girls on the Sera field, the undead with a human head and a snake body is obviously more suitable for the title of "monster".

"Is this senior Julie's new trump card?!" Xuefeng opened her mouth in surprise. Although she had seen the card illustration before, she could still feel a strong sense of oppression when she actually saw the evil eye of the Undead King being summoned!

"The evil eyes of the Undead King..." Julie couldn't help but murmured softly as she looked at the Undead King on her field. She stretched out her hand slightly towards the Undead King's body and gently stroked his smooth body. Then, a smile appeared on Julie's soft face.

"Okay, that's it."

Sera's crisp, childish voice echoed through the air as she gently opened her cover card and said, "When your Death King's Evil Eye is successfully Special Summoned, I will chain activate Naraku's Falling Hole to destroy and banish the Evil Eye on your field!"

"It's a pity, but please get off!" Sera said with a proud smile.

"I expected this!" Julie didn't panic at all when faced with Sera's trap card. Instead, she sent a card from her hand to the banishment zone and said, "Because of the effect of Giant Ghoul Magera! I can banish this card instead of having the Death King's Evil Eye destroyed!"

"Tsk." Sera curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and her cute little face became solemn.

She only has one Trap Card left to use.

"It's not over yet!" Julie extended her hand and continued, "I'm going to activate Majora's effect. This card can only be activated if it's banished from your hand or graveyard. This card is Special Summoned in Defense Position. After that, you can lower the level of this card by 1 point!"

"At the same time, I chain-activate the effects of the Undead King's Evil Eye!"

"You can only activate this card when the effect of an Undead-Type monster other than "Evil Eyes of the Deathly Lord" is activated (up to 1 time per chain). Apply 1 of the following effects. During this turn, you cannot apply the same effect as your "Evil Eyes of the Deathly Lord" card."

●That effect is invalid.

●Select 1 monster on your or your opponent's field or in the Graveyard and banish it!

"Good!" Sera's eyes lit up. Julie's action was exactly what she wanted!

"I chain-activate the Trap Card—Insect's Trap!" Sera revealed her last available Trap Card. "This can only be activated when the effect of a monster Special Summoned this turn on your opponent's side of the field is activated. That effect is negated and destroyed!"

So, even though Magella blocked the attack, the Undead King Evil Eye still couldn't escape the fate of being trapped. He was sent to the cemetery not long after he appeared.

However, looking at the evil eyes of the Undead King who was sent to the cemetery, Julie's face not only did not show any loss, but her smile became even more intense.

"What a pity! We finally summoned our ace monster, but it was destroyed just like that." Xuefeng, who was not aware of the effects of the Death King, felt sorry for Julie.

"Don't worry, the monster called the Undead King is not that simple." Yuan Qi said softly.

In his previous life, the Undead deck with the Death King as the core was also active for a long time, but it gradually withdrew from the competitive stage as the environment changed.

Now watching Julie use the Necromancer, for some reason, Yuan Qi inexplicably felt a sense of nostalgia.

"Then I'll deal with Magella's effect," Julie continued, "and Special Summon this monster."

Wielding a huge machete, Magera appeared on the duel field with a ferocious look. Although it was a defensive display, it still made people feel afraid.

"I enter the battle phase!" Julie commanded Jack Pumpkin, the only one on her field in attack mode, and said, "I will use Jack Pumpkin to attack the Sera's Worm Demon on your field!"

Although the effect of the Serah Bug Demon is powerful, its attack power is only 800. Under the attack of Jack Pumpkin, it was quickly destroyed and sent to the graveyard.

Sierra lp:8000→7300.

700lp of damage does not account for a large proportion in the 8000lp rule, but it has extraordinary significance at this moment.

Not only did Sera's core card point get destroyed, but more importantly - the first LP change occurred in this duel.

"I'll end this round like this." Julie said lightly.

After hearing this, Sera, who was a little nervous, breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it was not stopped completely, it was finally stopped.

But soon, Sera realized something was wrong.

I... breathed a sigh of relief?!

Sera's dark green pupils shrank suddenly, and she looked at Julie standing opposite her in disbelief. Her breathing, which had been steady, became rapid again.

Has Julie, who was the weakest in his eyes, grown to this point?

Even though there is only one more Necromancer, the deck seems to have undergone a qualitative change.

The undead monsters that were previously like a pile of loose sand are now revolving around the Deathly Lord, forming a powerful force.

"Is this the difference between having an ace and not having one?" Sera wiped the sweat from her forehead, then touched her deck with her fingers and said:

"But...you're not the only one who's gotten stronger!"

As Julie's friend and partner.
