A duelist never gives up!

"What a troublesome guy." Yuan Qi showed a helpless expression on his face, but...

Speaking of Nero, how is Nero now?

Is he being captured by the Duelist Alliance and being tortured?

Yuan Qi couldn't help but worry about Nero.

But his worries were obviously unnecessary.

At this moment, Nero was walking on the quiet street, looking up at the starry sky.

The sky full of stars covered the world like a huge net in the night sky, causing Nero to subconsciously shrink his neck and a feeling of fear rising in his heart.

"Hey, little sister, why are you still hanging out outside so late?" A drunken middle-aged man said to Nero while burping unpleasantly, "Go back quickly. Nighttime is not a time for children to enjoy themselves."

Nero turned his head and looked at the uncle who was talking to him. He took out a silver coin from his pocket and said, "Do you know who is the best coachman in this city?"

"Hmm?" The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly as he studied Nero before taking the silver coin and bursting into laughter. "Hahaha! Kids these days are so interesting! Coachman, huh? Follow me! I'll take you to the best coachman in this city!"

"Thank you." Nero nodded.

However, just as Nero took her left foot, a hoarse voice sounded behind her.

"Where are you going so late?"

"Who?" Nero turned around alertly, and then saw a man with long green hair looking at him with a twisted smile.

"Oh, it's you." Nero said lightly. Although he didn't remember the name of the man in front of him, he still knew that he was a fellow traveler.

"You haven't answered my question yet?" Miao Yan said jokingly, approaching Nero step by step. "You didn't... secretly take the pointer from Perlivia and run to your little lover, did you?"

Nero's face froze, and he subconsciously touched his pocket - the pointer used for tracking was lying quietly inside.

"It seems I was right." Miao Yan whistled frivolously and extended his hand towards Nero, saying, "Hand over the things. I don't want to bully a child."

Nero didn't reply, but turned his head to look at Miao Yan's left and right sides, then whispered, "Are you alone?"

Miao Yan sneered, "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being so unlucky. I happened to see you when I was out buying a midnight snack."

"So you're the only one who noticed it. Are the others still asleep?" Nero nodded thoughtfully, then said to the middle-aged man beside him, "Please wait a moment."

Nero said as he slowly raised his slender left arm. The next second, a black duel disk slowly appeared, gleaming mysteriously in the cold moonlight.

"You're not really planning to duel with me, are you?" Miao Yan sneered. For a kid like Nero's age, it wouldn't be a problem for him to beat ten of them in a row.

Nero calmly pulled out his deck and said, "Let's duel. Better hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

"Really?" Miao Yan's face darkened as he took out his deck from his waist. "Then it's as you wish!"

"duel!"

"duel!"

Chapter 79: Who are you?

"duel……?!"

The uncle standing next to him was suddenly startled when he heard this word, and his head, which was originally dizzy due to alcohol, instantly became clear.

This is a world where dueling is supreme. Dueling is the theme of this world, and dueling is the best and most popular activity!

When he thought about the duel that he could watch, the uncle immediately opened his half-asleep eyes, afraid of missing any details.

And at this moment, he noticed something.

"Wait! This hair color, this face, this duel disk...you can't be..." The uncle rubbed his eyes and his voice gradually became excited.

"Wow? I didn't expect that I would have fans in such a small city?" Miao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Yes, I am the professional duelist Miao Yan..."

"A member of the last National High School Duelist Academy—Nero Arisa, right?"

The uncle looked at Nero excitedly and said, "I've watched every one of your matches. The Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon is so handsome! I even recorded a video! Can I have an autograph later? No! Two!"

Nero looked at the uncle's face approaching and subconsciously took two steps back. His little face looked a little overwhelmed, but he still said in a somewhat awkward tone: "Um...thank you?"

I remember what senior Sera said, but I didn’t know how to respond. “Thank you” would definitely not be wrong.

That should be the case...

"Blue-Eyes...Chaos Extreme Dragon? National College Competition?" Miao Yan stood in place, a little disheveled by the night wind.

Wait, I'm a professional duelist. Don't you guys watch the professional duelist rankings tournaments instead of those noob fights?!

"I say, are you kidding me? What's so interesting about a tournament where a bunch of kids with third-rate dueling skills fight each other with fourth-rate decks? If you want to watch something interesting, just watch the professional duelists' points competition!" Miao Yan couldn't help but speak up.

The uncle glanced at Miao Yan calmly and said, "I watch the points competition too. Who are you? Sorry, I only remember the top five duelists in terms of points."

Angry.

Miao Yan clenched his fists, feeling a ball of blazing fire burning in his heart.

Losing to Yuan Qi is bad enough, but now I’m looked down upon by a little kid, and even passersby are mocking me... I can’t stand it anymore!

"Hahaha... Very good, it seems you still don't understand the power of professional duelists..." Miao Yan lowered his head and let out a few cold laughs. "I'll show you the difference between a professional duelist and a fledgling duelist still in the academy!"

"drop!"

With a crisp sound, Miao Yan got the right to choose whether to go first or second.

"It seems even the God of Duel is on my side!" Miao Yan grinned and said, "I choose to take the initiative!"

Just when Miao Yan decided on who to play first, Nero stretched out his slender fingers and quickly drew five cards from the deck.

"The cards you have..." The uncle standing behind Nero's pupils shrank suddenly, and he seemed to want to say something, but was quickly stopped by Nero.

"Shh." Nero gently pressed his index finger on his lips, and glanced at the uncle with his black pupils.

Quiet.

"Sorry, sorry! I won't say anything." The uncle nodded quickly.

"Hmph, did you draw a good card?" Miao Yan said disdainfully, observing Nero and the old man's actions. "There's a huge gap between decks. Even if you drew the five strongest cards in your deck, they might not be able to beat the five weakest cards in my deck."

Of course, Miao Yan's face was not that dark. The cards he drew could not be said to be perfect, but they were pretty good as far as the first move was concerned.

"I enter the Main Phase and Normal Summon Altergeist: Cyberpuppet Master!"

As soon as Miao Yan finished speaking, a cyber puppeteer in a green dress appeared on the duel field with a strange smile and meaningless strange gestures.

"I activate the effect of Altergeist: Cyber ​​Puppet Master!" Miao Yan stretched out his hand, commanding the monsters on his field. "This card can only be activated when it is successfully summoned. Select 1 'Altergeist' Trap Card from your deck and place it in your Spell & Trap Zone!"

"I choose to..."

"chain."

Seeing Miao Yan activate a search effect, Nero sent a card in his hand to the graveyard without hesitation.

"I activate the effect of the Obscurer in my hand, sending this card from my hand to the Graveyard, negating the effect of the Cyber ​​Puppet Master on your field."

The masked woman with green twin tails, wearing a white plain dress and black stockings, appeared in mid-air, operating two balls of transparent white gauze behind her to wrap the network puppeteer tightly.

"Good! Without trap cards, the strength of the Altergeist is the same as a blank deck!" The uncle is a loyal audience of duel competitions. Although he doesn't duel much on weekdays, he often watches various competitions and has some understanding of the Altergeist deck.

"The effect masker..." When Miao Yan saw this scene, not only did he not feel disappointed, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Anyway, I have already drawn the card I want, so it’s not a loss to exchange it for one here.

"I'm setting the Altergeist Cyberpuppet Master and Altergeist Pucca Query on the field to the Link Mark!" Miao Yan stretched out his hand and shouted, "The condition is two Altergeist monsters!"

"Connect Summon!"

"Altered Spirit: Hestia the Sixteenth Wizard!!!"

Accompanied by a dazzling white light, a monster that looked seven points like the Cyber ​​Puppet Master appeared in front of Miao Yan. The reason why it looked seven points similar was that in addition to being brown instead of green in color, the Altergeist Hestia, the Sixteenth Wizard, had a reptile-like tail and four pairs of flaming giant hands compared to the Cyber ​​Puppet Master.

"Then I activate the effect of Altergeist: Check Pu Cards in the Graveyard!" Miao Yan reached into his graveyard and said, "This card is in the Graveyard. I can only activate this when Altergeist Link Summon a monster on my side of the field. Add this card to my hand!"

After saying that, Miao Yan looked at Nero provocatively and said, "Do you need me to explain to you why I can Link Summon monsters from my hand?"

"No need." Nero said lightly. It's just that this card can be used as a connection material when it is in the hand. There is nothing surprising about this.

"You're quite knowledgeable," Miao Yan said, inserting the three cards in his hand into the duel board. "I'm covering three cards. That's the end of the round. It's your turn."

Nero nodded, placed his hand on his deck and said, "My turn, draw a card!"

"Wait, during your draw phase, I activate the Continuous Trap Card—Personal Deception Attack!" Miao Yan suddenly opened one of his face-up cards, his lips curled slightly as he spoke, "I activate its effect: Once per turn, you can activate this effect by returning 1 "Altergeist" card from your hand or face-up cards on the field to your deck. Then, add 1 "Altergeist" monster from your deck to your hand!"

Chapter 80: Saint Ecclesia of Teaching

"I return the Altergeist: Inquiry Pucard from my hand to the deck, and add the Altergeist: Multi-Trickster from the deck to my hand!"

Miao Yan said, showing the Altergeist Multi-Trickster he had just retrieved in his hand, "I activate the effect of Altergeist Multi-Trickster! This card can only be Special Summoned from your hand if you activate a Trap Card!"

"I Special Summoned Altergeist Multi-Trickster to the connection point of Altergeist Hestia!"

"Clap!"

With a slight sound, the pink multifunctional trickster jumped behind Hestia, one of the Sixteen Wizards, and a strange smile appeared on a black display screen.

"Next, I'll activate Multi-Trickster's effect!" Miao Yan extended his hand and continued, "This card can only be Special Summoned if it's successfully summoned. Special Summon one "Altergeist" monster from your deck in Defense Position, except "Altergeist Multi-Trickster"!"

"I Special Summon the Altergeist: Ethereal Feathered Spirit from the Deck!"

Along with a flash of white light, the phantom spirit wearing feather clothes, the Floating Feathered Spirit, gently slid down from the air like a bird.

"This is the hand utilization rate of the Professional Duelist deck." Miao Yan opened his empty hands and said, "Every card can be used. There are not too many unnecessary pieces. I remember you used the Ritual Jun, right? How many high-star Ritual monsters do you have that cannot be used now?"

Nero looked at his hand and replied seriously, "I won't tell you."

"Hey, hey, it's not so broken that it can't be started, right?" Miao Yan shrugged and sneered.

This time, Nero did not answer Mu Yan's question. After all, she was in a hurry. If she answered every question Mu Yan asked, this duel would last an unknown amount of time.

And it’s not good to keep others waiting.

Thinking this, Nero showed a card in his hand and said, "I activate the effect of Saint Ecclesia, the Teacher in my hand."

"You can only activate this effect if a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck is on the field. Special Summon this card from your hand."

"What?!" The teasing and mocking expression on Miao Yan's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by shock and solemnity. "Aren't you, the Arisa family, proud of your Ritual Deck? Why are you using non-ritual monsters?!"

Although Nero didn't want to pay attention to Miao Yan, his question was too stupid, so stupid that it made her a little angry.

So she decided to take action to make the person in front of her shut up as soon as possible.

"I activated the effect of Saint Ecclesia from Dogmatika. Did you chain it?" Nero asked again. "If not, I'll use a special recruit."

"Tsk..." Miao Yan glanced at the two remaining covered cards on his field and said after a moment's hesitation, "I don't have a chain."

"Then I will special summon the Holy Maiden Ecclesia of Teaching to the field." Nero said, slapping the card in his hand on the center of his duel disk, and the next second, the golden-haired, silver-eyed Holy Maiden wearing silver-white armor and a cloak appeared in front of Nero with a huge holy hammer in her hand!

"This... can this even be considered a Duel Monster?!" the uncle watching the battle blushed and stammered, "Duel Monsters should have ferocious bodies, powerful strength, and look terrifying. This look, this look..."

"?"

As if she had noticed the uncle's voice, a certain golden-haired saint turned her head slightly and looked at the uncle with a silly face, not understanding what he was saying.

"thump!"

The uncle's heart beat violently, and at that moment, he felt as if a switch in his heart was turned on.

He hadn't felt anything when watching duel videos on TV before, but now that he saw such beautiful duel monsters with his own eyes, he realized how stupid he was before.

"This is what Duel Monsters should look like!" the uncle said excitedly. "The coexistence of beauty and power is the future of Duel Monsters. The era of terror and weirdness is over!!"

Nero looked at the uncle strangely, not knowing what he was talking about, but he still moved his feet slightly and moved a little further away from him.

"Tsk, is there anyone who still cares about the appearance of duel monsters? Appearance is not important at all. Strong power is the key!" Miao Yan looked at the uncle with disdain. In his heart, he already regarded him as an outsider who knew nothing. It was not worth it for him to get angry because of such a person.

"I activate the effect of Dogmatika Ecclesia once again," Nero continued. "This can only be activated if this card is successfully Normal Summoned or Special Summoned. Add one Dogmatika card other than Dogmatika Ecclesia from your deck to your hand!"

"Search?" Miao Yan didn't hesitate at all this time and directly opened his face-up card and said, "I chain-activate the Normal Trap Card - Infinite Bubble!"

"Neglect the effect of Saint Ecclesia on your field!"

Strings of deep blue electric currents rushed towards Aclesia as chaotically and swiftly as a swarm of snakes. After a crackling sound, Aclesia was electrocuted to the point of being burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, with circles appearing on her face.

Although Ecclesia was negated upon entering the field, Nero remained undeterred. Instead, he revealed another card in his hand and said, "While a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck is on the field, you can activate this during your or your opponent's Main Phase. Special Summon this card from your hand."

"I Special Summon Dogmatika's Knight Fleurdelis to the field!"

As a ball of holy light lit up in the duel arena, Fleurdelis, covered in silver-white armor, appeared in front of Nero with a sword in her right hand and a shield in her left hand. However, because she was too tall, Ecclesia next to her looked a little petite.

"According to Fleurdelis's effect, when I have other Dogmatika monsters on my field, I can choose to negate one of your monsters." Nero slowly raised his finger and pointed at a monster on Mu Yan's field. "Because I have Dogmatika's Saint on my field, I want to negate the effect of Hestia, the Sixteenth Sorcerer, on your field."
