A duelist never gives up!

As he spoke, Yuan Qi looked at the Guardian and said, "Continue with your development."

"I cover a card, and the turn ends." The guardian covered a card and said.

Come on, duelist, try to cross this high wall I have prepared just for you!

"Really? Then it's my turn... draw a card!"

"and many more."

At the moment when Yuan Qi drew a card, the guardian suddenly opened the covered card on his field.

"During your draw phase, I activate the continuous trap card, Fragrance of Magic Seal!"

"As long as this card is in the Spell & Trap Zone, neither player's Spell Card can be activated unless it is face down. It cannot be activated until the next turn from the face down player's perspective!"

"why is it like this?!"

Xuefeng couldn't help but exclaim, "Doesn't this mean even magic cards are banned?!"

"It was intentional, it must have been intentional!" Sera pointed at the guardian dissatisfiedly, "How could the Thunder Dragon be so blocked as to cast the Demon Seal!"

"My Thunder Dragon will block the Demon Seal." The Guardian looked at Yuan Qidao and said, "Alright, Duelist, what are you going to do? You can't summon monsters, cast magic, or overwrite traps right now. At this point, you're not going to surrender?"

Yuan Qi shook his head, raised a finger and said, "You are wrong about one thing."

"What?" The guard asked subconsciously, but soon remembered something and said coldly, "I didn't ask anything, so don't say anything."

"No, since you're asking so sincerely, I'll have to be merciful and tell you." Yuan Qi shook his finger and said, "It's not that I can't summon special monsters, but I can't summon special summon monsters on my field. Do you understand me?"

"Wow!" Honglian's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but chuckle, "So there's this trick."

The guard didn't say anything, but as a seasoned duelist, he naturally understood the meaning of Yuan Qi's words.

Yes, I can't summon or special summon monsters on my own side of the field, but...

"I can Special Summon a monster on your field!" Yuan Qi said, showing a card in his hand. "I will release the Topological Trifoliate Two-Headed Snake and I:P Masquerade Reina on your field and Special Summon this monster to your field!"

"Go! Lava Demon!!!"

The scorching lava swallowed up the Topological Trifoliate Two-Headed Snake and I:P Masquerade Lena. A lava demon as big as a hill appeared behind the guardian, making an unknown murmur.

"Great!" Sera waved her fist and said, "This way, we can cover Spell and Trap Cards!"

"No wonder you act so confident. You've even prepared this kind of monster." The Guardian said calmly, looking at the Lava Golem beside him. "But after that, even if you take out my two monsters, I still have two Thunder Dragons and the Lava Golem you sent me. Next turn, I'll just go straight to the Battle Phase, and you'll definitely lose."

"The way to win is simple. Just cover all my hand cards." Yuan Qi calmly placed the remaining five cards on the field, then gently clapped his hands and said, "This is the end of my turn. It's your turn."

"Five covered cards?"

The guardian looked at the black covered cards on the original seven fields, and for some reason felt a layer of gloom shrouded his heart.

Chapter 48: Let’s talk later.

After a moment of silence, the guardian put his hand on his deck.

There's no point in continuing to worry. There's only one thing I can do right now, and that's...

"My turn, draw a card!"

"chain."

As if to imitate the Guardian's actions last turn, Yuan Qi also gently flipped open one of his own cards: "During your draw phase, I activate the Continuous Trap Card - Side Effects of the Drug."

"Does the medicine's secondary effect burn HP?" the Guardian said calmly. "Then I'll move on to the main phase. First, I'll deal with the Lava Demon's effects. I'll deduct 1000 LP."

Guardian LP: 8000→7000.

"chain."

Yuan Qi said calmly, "I'll activate the Trap Card—the Gift Card. This card's effect is to restore 3000 Life Points to the opponent. At the same time, I'll activate the second Gift Card. This way, you can restore 6000 Life Points. How's that? Isn't it great?"

"...Because of the side effects of the medicine, my LP will be deducted by 6000." The guardian said lightly.

But even so, he still had 1000 LP left. As long as he entered the battle phase...

"Don't worry, I still have a card that hasn't been activated yet." Yuan Qi put his hand on his covered card and said.

"You didn't draw three gift cards, did you?" The guardian couldn't help but ask suspiciously. Drawing two in a row would be fine, but drawing three would be too lucky.

"No, although I didn't draw the third gift card, I did draw this card." Yuan Qi opened the card and said, "I activated the trap card - Fork of Fate."

"Each player flips a coin. If the coin lands face-up, the player recovers 1 Life Points. If the coin lands face-down, the player takes 2000 Life Points of damage."

As Yuan Qi finished speaking, two golden coins appeared in front of Yuan Qi and the guardian.

"I won't be polite." Yuan Qi took it in his hand first, then tossed it lightly. The golden coin rolled rapidly in the air, and then fell on the back of Yuan Qi's hand with a click.

Unfortunately, it was the inside.

Original seven lp: 8000→6000.

"Hahaha, Yuan Qi, your luck is a bit bad." Sera laughed.

"No, no, no, it's already as good as it can be." Bei Feng couldn't help but whispered.

Lava, medicinal supplements, two gift cards and a fork in the road of fate, what's the difference between this and winning?

"After all, my luck has run out." Yuan Qi shrugged, then stared deeply at the guardian with his black eyes and said, "It's your turn, Guardian. Please toss your coin."

"Whether it's positive or negative, the result is the same."

In front of the drug side effect card, whether it is positive or negative, there is only one effect, that is - deduct 2000lp.

The guard wordlessly grabbed the coin in front of him and threw it hard into the air. The coin spun and fell in the air, and finally stopped on the cold ground like an autumn leaf.

The Guardian's coin result is exactly the opposite of the original seven, it is face-up, but the settlement effect is the same.

"Then, based on the effects of Fate's Fork and the two gift cards, you'll need to recover a total of 8000 Lp. However, due to the side effects of my medication, all of this recovered Lp will be converted into effect damage!" Yuan Qi pointed at the Guardian and said, "So, you'll have to take a total of 8000 Lp of effect damage!"

"brush!"

Dark red light penetrated the body of the guardian, and the lp value beside him began to plummet at a speed visible to the naked eye: 4000→1000→0!

Win: Yuan Qi!

"It seems I've lost again." The Guardian's voice was a little low. "Congratulations on passing the third level, Duelist. I look forward to our next meeting."

After saying that, the guardian disappeared without a trace, and the white light once again enveloped the entire space.

Yuan Qi put away his duel disk, closed his eyes gently, and waited to enter the "illusion" again. However, just when his consciousness was about to fade away, a soft touch came from his lips.

"Qi, please come back soon, otherwise... I will be lonely."

The next moment, Yuan Qi fell into a complete coma and fell to the ground.

"It's so easy to get a kiss from me, the God of Duel. You're really lucky." Ai pursed her lips, and two blushes slowly appeared on her fair cheeks. Even for a god, this was the first time she did such a thing, so it was inevitable that she was a little shy.

But soon, Ai's shy mood was broken by two voices.

"Ahem, since it was Xuefeng who served as a pillow for Yuan Qi last time, then it should be my turn this time, right?" Sera coughed twice, sat next to Yuan Qi, picked up Yuan Qi and hugged him in her arms.

"Eh?! Wait..." A trace of panic flashed in Xuefeng's blue eyes. Just when she didn't know what to do, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through her stupid little head.

"Sierra, your legs are too thin and your body is too small. You won't be comfortable as a pillow!"

"Huh? You're not Yuan Qi, how do you know you're uncomfortable?"

“But but…”

Ai looked at Yuan Qi, who was being fought over by Xuefeng and Sera, and couldn't help but pout. She leaned over and poked Yuan Qi's forehead with her hand and said angrily, "You philandering guy, let's see how you will deal with the feelings of so many girls in the end!"

Yuan Qi was unaware that his body was being fought over by two people. He slowly opened his eyes and found himself still standing on that unfamiliar yet familiar hillside. Sai Ya was still standing in front of him, just as he had when he left, and beside him...

"Ino."

Yuan Qi gently called the girl's name.

"Hmm?" Ino raised his head with a natural and happy smile on his face, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just called you." Yuan Qi said with a chuckle.

It seems that I have really come to this world again.

"Really? I'd feel embarrassed flirting in front of so many people." Ino blushed and said while hiding behind Yuan Qi. In the girl's opinion, calling someone's name for no reason is a way to express one's affection.

"Sorry, sorry." Yuan Qi chuckled, and then his handsome face slowly returned to normal.

He chose to take the risk and come to this world again, of course not just to come back and have fun with Ino.

He came for the unknown truth.

"Let's go back, Seiya." Yuan Qi said solemnly to Seiya standing in front of him, "Let's go meet the messenger from the Black Magician Tribe."

"Yes!"

The Black Magician Tribe sent a team of envoys this time, consisting of seven people: three men, three women, and... a wrinkled old man.

"Nice to meet you, Your Majesty Yuan Qi." In the hall, the old man held up a bronze staff and bowed slightly to Yuan Qi. "I am the High Priest of the Black Magician Tribe—Sasha Dejansdal Woban."

Chapter 49: Isn’t it right there?

In the empty hall, Yuan Qi held Yinuo in his arms and sat on a high chair. He looked down at the old man below with an expressionless face and said lightly, "Oh."

In an instant, the temperature in the hall suddenly dropped, and the cold air like the coming winter spread from the old man.

"Yuan Qi? Isn't this too rude?" Ino's little face was pressed against Yuan Qi's chest, and he couldn't help but ask softly.

Yuan Qi didn't say anything, but just stared at the old man in front of him, waiting for his reaction.

The old man was silent for a moment, then he grinned and said, "Hahaha, you are indeed the strong man who defeated Ivan. You really have unique qualities that are different from ordinary people!"

"Huh?" Ino was dumbfounded. Hadn't Yuan Qi just ignored him? Wasn't that a blatant insult? He could even praise her for that?

"No, I was rude just now." Yuan Qi smiled and said, "Saya, please apologize to this gentleman on my behalf, with the wine and treasures."

"Yes." Saiya responded from the side.

"That's not necessary," Sasha declined. "I appreciate your Majesty's kindness, but we're here to discuss something important with you. Please let's get down to business."

"Is it about other tribes secretly uniting to deal with our Puppet Dessert Tribe and Black Magician Tribe?" Yuan Qi said.

Puppet Dessert Tribe... This young man is really bold. He actually changed the name of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon Tribe to the Puppet Dessert Tribe. Isn't he worried about the backlash from the people?

Sasha glanced at Yuan Qi with doubtful eyes. Considering Yuan Qi's previous indifference to her, could this guy be an arrogant and ignorant person?!

That would be the best indeed!

Sasha's lips curled up slightly. "Your Majesty Yuan Qi is right. According to reliable information, the other tribes have secretly united and are preparing to attack our two tribes. The purpose of my visit this time is..."

"How about our two tribes unite, gradually defeat the remaining tribes, and then divide the world in two?" Yuan Qi yawned and squinted his eyes. "If you're going to make such a ridiculous suggestion next, please back off."

"Ahem, of course not." Sasha coughed twice, and his old body emitted a hoarse and unpleasant voice. "I came here for only one purpose this time - to stop the war."

"Stop the war?"

"That's right, stop the war!" Sasha said solemnly. "We in the Black Magician Tribe believe that humans are few in number these days, and duelists are even fewer, while powerful duel monsters are spread across the entire continent. Fighting among ourselves now would be sheer folly!"

"Since you're not seeking cooperation but rather stopping the war, shouldn't you be going to those preparing to start a war?" Yuan Qi asked, narrowing his eyes. "Why would you come to a place like mine where we might be attacked?"

"That's because, if we want to stop the war, we must have the participation of the Blue Eyes... no, the Puppet Dessert Tribe." Sasha said in a deep voice.

coming.

Yuan Qi's heart tightened, but on the surface he remained expressionless and asked, "Why?"

"Because the predecessor of the Puppet Dessert Tribe, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon Tribe and the Black Magician Tribe are the predecessors of the human priestess." Sasha said calmly.

"Miko?"

Yuan Qi raised his eyelids and subconsciously looked at the girl in his arms, and suddenly a feeling of uneasiness arose in his heart.

"That's right. In the beginning, humans had no tribes. They simply gathered together to resist the invasion of Duel Monsters. It was because of the two priestesses' prayers to the God of Duel that the power of Duel descended upon humanity." Saiya stepped forward to explain for Yuan Qi. "And the royal family of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon Tribe, the Yi Clan, are descendants of the White Priestess."

"And the royal family of the Black Magician Tribe are descendants of the Black Priestess." Sasha took over the conversation.

"So, what about the descendants of the witch?" Yuan Qi's heart was beating rapidly, and there was anxiety in his tone that he himself could not detect.

"I wonder if His Majesty Yuan Qi knows the reasons why those tribes rebelled against us?" Sasha asked slowly.

"It's because of the quota. Our two tribes account for too large a proportion of the quota in the festival. If this continues, the other tribes will become weaker and weaker until they are swallowed up by us." Yuan Qi took it as a matter of course and brought out the conclusion drawn from the mural on the whiteboard.
