A duelist never gives up!

The appearance of the Deathly Hallows solved both Julie's counter and board clearance problems. If she used Link Summoning, Julie's heavy heart knot would probably be untied all at once, right?

"It's our turn." Nero poked Xuefeng's slender waist and said softly.

"Eh? Oh! Come on!" Xuefeng looked at Nero beside him and immediately raised his fighting spirit, "I also gained new power recently! It's Rikka's new card!"

"Me too." Nero nodded calmly, "My family gave me some new cards."

"Was it...a gift from your family?" Xuefeng blinked and was stunned for a moment.

"What else? Print it yourself?" Nero tilted his head, and the word "doubt" seemed to be written in his big black and white eyes.

"No, no, no. Normally speaking, except for the prizes won in competitions, the cards are all printed by ourselves, right?" Yuan Qi waved his hand.

"It's too random, very troublesome, and very tiring," Nero said solemnly, "If we print unwanted cards, it will be very uncomfortable here."

As he spoke, Nero lowered his head and poked his flat left chest with his slender index finger.

"Ah, indeed, it will be very uncomfortable here." Yuan Qi seemed to have thought of something and covered his heart with a painful expression.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's enough. I've printed a lot of rare cards for you, right?" Ai couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Little white rabbit." Yuan Qi said softly.

"Cough cough!"

"Yanwu-"Tianji". "

"Isn't that a great card?!"

"I can't use it."

"You've had enough!"

"Hara Nana is talking to his air friend again." Xuefeng muttered softly.

"Don't disturb him." Nero shook his head and said, "Let's get started."

"Well... there's really no way to insert it." Xuefeng looked helplessly at Yuan Qi who was suddenly talking to the air, sighed softly, walked to the center of the training ground, and raised his duel disk.

At the same time, Nero also stuffed his deck into the duel disk.

"Then... a duel!"

"duel."

Chapter 24: The giant blue dragon stood on the duel field!

"drop!"

With a crisp sound, Nero got the right to choose first or second.

"I choose to take the initiative." Nero said without hesitation.

As she spoke, she stretched out her white and tender fingers and drew five cards from the deck at once.

"Is this the third duel between the two of them?" Ai, who was arguing with Yuan Qi, looked at the two people on the field and suddenly changed the subject.

"Well, there are some grudges." Yuan Qi nodded and said, "According to the plot of the novel, Xuefeng, who lost twice in a row, should win this time."

"But this isn't a novel." Julie, now back to normal, came to Yuan Qi's side and said, "The advantage of taking the initiative is huge."

"So why not use the best-of-three rule?" Yuan Qi suddenly thought, "Wouldn't that be fairer?"

"What are you thinking about?" Sera plopped down on the cold ground, exposing her two slender white legs under her skirt to the air without any regard for her appearance. "In recent years, many people have indeed proposed the best-of-three rule, but in reality, except for a few competitions that adopt it, most still use a single game to decide the winner."

"Not to mention the millennia-old tradition of single-game matches. While best-of-three has improved fairness and operability, it has also diminished the decisiveness, sacredness, all-or-nothing, all-or-nothing spirit of a single game... in short."

"It's not in line with the traditional spirit of dueling."

Sera couldn't help but sneer as she spoke: "I really don't understand what they are thinking. What's the point of maintaining such a boring tradition?"

Julie narrowed her eyes. She was actually the traditional duelist that Sera had mentioned, but what Sera said seemed to make some sense, so she grabbed Sera's arm without hesitation, lifted her up from the ground and said, "Stand still! You don't act like a girl at all!"

"Girl? I'm not a girl! I don't even have breasts!" Sera looked at the two bulging lumps of flesh on Julie's chest, then looked down at her toes, and said with some self-abandonment.

Not only did I lose the duel, I also lost my figure. This time I am completely defeated!!!

Julie was slightly stunned, and patted Sera's little head with pity: "It's okay. As far as I know, your body shape is actually very popular among some people."

"Huh? Those people must be perverts, right?" Sera said disdainfully.

"..."

Nero, who has a similar size to Sera but may have a promising future, looked at the five cards in his hand and quickly decided on his tactics.

"I usually summon the Proclaimer's Divine Shaman."

The girl in a silver miko costume appeared on Nero's field with her head lowered and a little shy.

"I activate the effect of the Divine Sorcerer and send the Rainbow Herald from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard." Nero's rosy lips opened slightly, and he spoke in a soft voice.

"Then activate the effect of Rainbow Herald in the Graveyard and add a Ritual Monster or Ritual Spell card from your deck to your hand." Nero paused briefly before continuing, "I'll add Kaleidoscope of Shadow Cloak from my deck to your hand."

"Speaking of the Divine Witch, it seems like it's also in the Duel King deck build, right?" Julie couldn't help but ask as she watched the scene. "Is this card very powerful?"

"As the first card in a ritual, it's a stable search," Yuan Qi explained. "Also, Divine Sorcerer can not only search for Ritual Cards, but also stack Old God Nutz to destroy the opponent's cards for clearing the field. Furthermore, Divine Sorcerer itself is a Tuner Monster, which means it can also be used for Synchro Summoning. It's a very high-quality monster."

"brush!"

As soon as Yuan Qi finished speaking, he heard a slight sound in his ear. He turned his head and found that a colorful light rose from Ai's white and tender palm. Then the next second, three magical witches lay quietly in his palm.

"What are you doing?" Yuan Qi asked puzzled.

"Prove myself." Ai turned her head away proudly.

"...Okay, actually I was joking. The little white rabbit is very cute, and you have already printed a lot of useful cards." Yuan Qi apologized seriously.

"Really?"

"real."

"That's pretty much it."

As they were talking, Nero was using his cards skillfully:

"I activate the Ritual Spell Card - Kaleidoscope of Shadow Cloak, send the second Rainbow Herald from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard, and Ritual Summon - Unico's Shadow Cloak."

Unico, holding a spear, stood in front of Nero like a guard.

"Immediately afterwards, I activated the effect of Rainbow Herald from my graveyard once again, adding the Ritual Spell Card - Demon's Birthday from my deck to my hand."

"Demon God?" Xuefeng, standing across from him, was stunned when he heard the unfamiliar name. Then, he suddenly realized and asked, "Is this your new card?"

"Yes." Nero nodded. "Haven't you heard of the Demon Ceremony?"

"Uh, this... no." Xuefeng lowered his head in shame. He felt as if he knew nothing.

In fact, this is not Xuefeng's fault. He is different from Yuanyuan Qi, who is a veteran duelist and has his own plug-in, Julie who memorizes other card effects every day, and Nero who received elite education since childhood.

Xuefeng is no different from ordinary people except that his family is a little more affluent and he has an older sister who is a professional duelist.

Even a few months ago, I would have been surprised by a card of the caliber of Cyclone.

It would be difficult for her to remember all kinds of cards at once.

But Nero had no intention of explaining to Xuefeng, or rather, since it was going to be used soon, it would not be a big problem if he did not explain.

"I activate the effect of Magic Ritual - Candle Doll in my hand," Nero said, showing a card in his hand. "To activate this, show 1 Ritual Spell Card in your hand to your opponent. Special Summon 1 "Magic Ritual" monster from your Deck other than "Magic Ritual - Candle Doll" and this card from your hand."

"I Special Summon Demonic Ritual - Mandrake Talisman Grass from the Deck."

Then, two monsters with hideous faces and emitting a weird and mysterious aura appeared on the duel field.

"I activate the effect of Mandrake's Talisman. This card can only be activated if it is successfully Special Summoned from the deck. I add a Ritual Monster from the deck to my hand," Nero said calmly. "I add Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon from the deck to my hand."

"Next, I activate the ritual magic card - Celebration of the Demon God."

"Liberate the two demon gods on my field and ritually summon them..."

Hearing Nero's voice, which seemed so flat and powerless, Xuefeng couldn't help but feel his heart beating fast.

Here comes one of Nero's trump cards, the embodiment of power and beauty...

"Blue-Eyed Chaos Dragon!"

Nero suddenly slammed the Blue-Eyed Chaos Dragon in his hand onto the field. In an instant, a huge roar sounded like thunder!

In the eyes of amazement,

The giant blue dragon stood on the duel field!

Chapter 25: Make your choice!

Xuefeng looked at the three monsters on Nero's field, pursed his lips slightly, and his expression became solemn.

However, Nero's actions did not end there.

"I activate the Ritual Magic Card—Advanced Ritual." Nero inserted a card into the Duel Board and said, "I send a Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my deck to the Graveyard and Ritual Summon it!"

"Hollow Dragon Demon King's Invisible Arrow: Mind!"

Accompanied by a violent hurricane, a black dragon descended from the sky. On the dragon's back, a man with white hair and red eyes spread his arms and laughed wildly.

"My turn ends here, it's your turn." Nero said calmly after using up all the cards in one turn.

"Go all out right from the start?" Julie murmured softly as she looked at the three powerful ritual monsters on Nero's field.

"It seems that the addition of the Demonic Ritual System has made the operation of her entire deck smoother." Sera said with narrowed eyes.

"Two extra invalids + one high resistance and high damage attack, this final move can crush a large number of card decks." Yuan Qi nodded slightly.

However, even though the three of them gave such high praise to Nero's ending, they did not make any predictions about the outcome of the duel.

Because for Julie or Sera, encountering this ending in the second hand would be very troublesome, but for Yukikaze's Rikka deck, there is still room for maneuver.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Xuefeng exclaimed delicately, gently pulling a card from her deck and saying, "Due to the effect of the Hollow Dragon Demon King, I will directly enter the Battle Phase. Immediately after that, I will directly enter Main Phase Two!"

Yukikaze entered the Main Phase without hesitation, inserting a card into the Duel Board and saying, "I activate the Continuous Spell Card - Rikka's Wind Flower!"

"Did they just start right from the start?" Yuan Qi asked in surprise, "Nero is in trouble now."

As soon as Hara Nana finished speaking, Xuefeng couldn't wait to show a card in her hand and said, "Then I activate the effect of Rikka's White Princess in my hand: This card can only be activated during my Main Phase. Special Summon this card from your hand!"

"I special summon Hakuji of Rikka!" Xuefeng slammed the monster in his hand onto the duel disk.

The next second, a little girl who looked 70% similar to Rikka's petal, but a little older, smiled faintly, held up an ice-blue umbrella, and stepped lightly onto the duel field with her delicate jade feet.

"Is this the new card you got?" Nero looked at Bai Ji on the snow wind field and couldn't help asking curiously.

"That's right, but I can't tell you the effects right now." Xuefeng stuck out her tongue playfully, then inserted a card into the Duel Board and said, "I activate the Spell Card - Six Flower Splendor, which liberates the Six Flower's White Princess from the field and adds Six Flower Spirit Leaf Peony and Six Flower Spirit Heather from the deck to my hand."

Bai Ji, who had just appeared on the stage, blinked her eyes, showed nothing, and slipped away to the graveyard obediently. However, compared to Bai Ji, whose effect was still unknown, another card on Xuefeng's field was more worthy of Nero's attention.

"I activate the effect of Rikka's Wind Flower!" Yukikaze raised her slender arms, her rosy lips curled up slightly. "This can only be activated when a Rikka monster on your field is Tributed. Your opponent must Tribute 1 monster on their field!"

"...As I expected." Nero's face froze as he looked at the sustainable card on Xuefeng's field and couldn't help but become alert.

That’s right, Rikka’s Wind Flower, a continuous magic card that forces the opponent to release their own monsters, is the biggest key to Yukikaze’s battle against Nero!

"I choose to liberate the divine wizard of the declarer on the field." Nero stretched out his finger and pointed mercilessly at the divine wizard on his field who was no longer useful.

The wizard looked at the three monsters around him that were much stronger than himself, sighed helplessly, and walked into the cemetery silently.

"Did they use a wizard to block it?" Xuefeng looked at the three black ritual monsters on Nero's field, his long eyebrows slightly frowned, and then quickly relaxed.

Don’t be impatient, take it slow, with the current card…it can be done!

"I normally summon a petal of Rokka." Xuefeng said as he slapped a petal of Rokka in his hand on the duel disk.

A petal of the lovely Rikka was once again pinched in Xuefeng Kaiju's hand and appeared on the field smoothly.

Don’t ask, asking is the bond!

"I activate the effect of Rokka's Petal and add Rokka's Snowdrop from the deck to my hand." As soon as Xuefeng got Snowdrop, she couldn't wait to activate her effect. "I activate the effect of Snowdrop and release Rokka's Petal from the field. I special summon Snowdrop and Leaf Peony from my hand to the field!"

The cute little girl with white hair disappeared in front of Xuefeng, and was replaced by two graceful young girls.

I have to sigh, apart from anything else, every monster in Rika's collection seems like a girl walking out of a painting, delicate and beautiful, with a hazy sense of illusion.
