A duelist never gives up!

"It's okay. I said I would teach you how to duel." The Dark God of Duel waved her hand to show that she didn't care. However, although she said so, her heart was not calm.

The deck strength is not right.

Although Nona had long guessed that Nero's deck might be different from his peers, when she thought it was just similar to the strength of the puppet dessert she gave to Yuan Qi in the world she created, she didn't expect that Nero was using a fierce guide deck based on ritual summons, and it seemed that it was a fierce guide with a very high degree of completion. Although it was not as good as her own Abyss Dragon Fist, it was still capable of fighting.

"This guy...could he be even stronger than Hongzhong?" Nona couldn't help but fold her arms, comparing Nero to her previous contractor. "No, Hongzhong has Dragon Mage after all...If they really had to duel, I'm afraid Hongzhong would still have the upper hand...But Nero might be easier to control, and his personality doesn't seem to be too extreme..."

Nero ignored Nona's mumbling and continued his story. "I activate the effect of Divine Guidance's Announcement. Once per turn, I can only activate this effect if I have a "Dogmatize" Ritual Monster on my field. Check your or your opponent's Extra Deck and select 1 monster from it and send it to the Graveyard."

"Once per turn, you can only activate this card if you have a "Teach" Ritual Monster on your field. Check your or your opponent's Extra Deck, select 1 monster from it, and send it to the Graveyard." Nero said, throwing a card from his Extra Deck to the Graveyard.

If the opponent is someone else, Nero may choose to check the opponent's extra cards to understand the opponent's deck and do additional damage.

But Purviya is different.

Even if Perlivia's key extra monster is destroyed, she can print an identical extra monster on the spot as long as she wants. Unless a large number of extra monsters are destroyed at once, destroying one or two extra monsters will have no meaning to Perlivia. What's more... her own ending has been determined. Even if she knows Perlivia's deck information, she will not change it, so there is no need to check.

"I send Rainbow Herald from the deck to the graveyard." Nero's pure and childish voice shouted from her delicate vocal cords, echoing in the silent night sky, "I activate the effect of Rainbow Herald!"

"You can only activate this effect if this card is sent to the Graveyard. Add 1 Ritual Monster or 1 Ritual Spell Card from your Deck to your hand!"

Chapter 30: Old Gods

"I added the card "The Blessing of the Fierce Guide" from my deck to my hand."

The effect of the Gospel of the Evil Guide can only be used once per turn, so Nero's move is actually preparing for the deployment of T3. Of course, preparing for the deployment of T3 does not mean that Nero's deployment this turn is over - she has not yet been normally summoned this turn.

"I usually summon Saint Ecclesia of Teaching." Nero said as he gently slapped the monster in his hand on the duel disk.

Accompanied by a dazzling white light, a girl holding a silver warhammer slowly appeared on Nero's field. The silver moonlight sprinkled on the girl's flowing golden hair, shining in the night.

"I activate the effect of Dogmatika, Saint Ecclesia," Nero said, holding out his hand. "This can only be activated if this card is successfully Normal Summoned or Special Summoned. Add one Dogmatika card other than Dogmatika, Saint Ecclesia from your deck to your hand."

"I'm adding the Trap Card - Dogmatika's Punishment from my deck to my hand."

Nero said, and then directly inserted the card he had just retrieved into the Duel Board. "I cover a card, and the turn ends. However, during the end phase of the turn, I activate the effect of the Ash Dragon in the Graveyard."

"You can only activate this card during the End Phase of the turn this card is sent to the Graveyard. Select 1 "Dogmatika" monster or "Albus's Fallen" from your Deck and add it to your hand or Special Summon it."

Nero paused for a moment, seemingly having spoken a series of words, to rest for a moment before continuing, "I'll add Fleurdelis, the Knight of Dogmatika, from my deck to my hand."

Thus, Nero's development came to an end.

"Two monsters, four cards in hand, one face-up card, one continuous card..." Purlivia didn't rush to draw cards. Instead, she carefully examined Nero's finale like an examiner. "Not bad for a start. Now let me see how you perform."

After saying that, Perlivia's expression turned serious. She stretched out her slender right hand, quickly drew a card from the deck, and said, "My turn, draw a card!"

coming soon!

Nero was shocked and immediately became extremely alert.

If the deployment is a test of a duelist's proficiency in his deck, then the game is a test of the depth of his card pool, his ability to control the situation, and his judgment of timing. If we use a building as an analogy, the deployment is only the most basic foundation, and the details of the game are what determine a duelist's operational quality.

And there is no doubt that Perlivia's strength in the game is above Nero.

So Nero had to improve his concentration and not miss any details.

"Calm down." Nona couldn't help but remind Nero again when she saw his tense face. "Even if you open your eyes as wide as you can, you can't see your opponent's cards."

Nona didn't know that Perlivia was Nero's aunt, let alone that Perlivia was the current Duel King, so she didn't know the pressure Nero was feeling at the moment. But even if she knew, she would probably just laugh it off.

"Forcing yourself to concentrate will only make you miss some things that you should have noticed. As a duelist, you must always maintain a calm mind." Nona's tone did not contain any blame. After all, Nero still looked like a child. It was really difficult to ask her to have the same mental quality as herself, so she just reminded him. Even if Nero couldn't do it, there was nothing she could do.

However, Nero had been dueling since she was a child, so she naturally understood the importance of mentality to a duelist. Although she couldn't free herself from her nervous mood, she still used deep breathing to relieve her emotions.

Seeing this, Nona raised her eyelids in surprise: "This kid... is quite smart."

Even without my help, she will definitely become a powerful duelist in the future, right?

No, in fact, she is already a very strong duelist, but she is still some distance away from the top.

At this moment, Nona suddenly realized something. She raised her head and looked at the figure standing opposite her, and some curiosity arose in her heart.

Nero's dueling ability is not weak. He is one in a hundred duelists. But how strong is the opponent who can make Nero so nervous and even his breathing disordered?

"I'm entering the main stage."

Perlivia said slowly, "I Normal Summon Grim Relict Magician from my hand."

A brown shark-headed man holding a staff appeared on the Perlivia field, staring at Nero fiercely with his orange-yellow eyes, as if he was going to pounce on him and bite him to pieces with his sharp teeth in the next second.

"Legacy? Is the Legacy Thunder Spirit deck used?" Nero looked at the ferocious monster that appeared in front of him. He did not feel the slightest fear in his heart, but instead had some doubts.

As a member of Arisa's family and Perlivia's niece, Nero certainly knew about the Thunder Elf deck that Perlivia had recently acquired. But it was precisely because she knew about it that she was confused. Although her understanding of Thunder Elf was only average, she knew one thing clearly - Thunder Elf was not a second-hand deck.

"Are you really asking me to do it?" A hint of suspicion flashed in Nero's eyes, but she quickly threw this thought to the corner of her mind.

Thinking about these things now will not help in the duel at all. I must focus on the duel now.

"I activate the effect of Grim Relict Magician," Perlivia said, extending her hand. "This card can only be activated if it is successfully Normal Summoned or Special Summoned. Special Summon one "Relict Magician" monster from your deck, other than "Grim Relict Magician."

"I will move from my deck..."

"chain!"

Before Perlivia could finish her words, Nero's crisp voice interrupted her: "I activate the effect of Gray Flowing Beauty in my hand, discarding this card and negating the effect of Cold Legacy Sorcerer!"

The little blonde girl in white clothes appeared in mid-air, waving her slender arms, and lowered her angry pink fists towards the cold-blooded magician!

"Clap!"

Don't underestimate the small size of Hui Liuli's fist, but it can cause real damage. The cold-blooded magician felt dizzy and saw stars after just one blow.

"It's not over yet." Nero waved his hand and continued, "I activate the effect of White Knight of the Fierce Guide. This can only be activated when the opponent activates the effect of a Spell, Trap, or Monster. Send 1 monster from your Extra Deck to the Graveyard. Check your opponent's Extra Deck and select 1 monster from it and send it to the Graveyard. Until the end of this turn, this card gains half the total ATK of all monsters sent to the Graveyard!"

"I'm sending the Old God Nutz to the graveyard from my deck!"

Chapter 131: Old Gods

Since the Ritual Deck does not need to Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck, the Extra Deck will contain some Extra Monsters with special functions. For example, the Extra Deck of the Dragonite will contain the Bookworm Thunder Axle to clear the field and the powerful Bayonet Dragon to kill.

But no matter which ritual deck, they usually have two fixed old friends as extras.

One is a super support card that can retrieve ritual monsters and ritual magic - Rainbow Herald.

The other one is the old god Nuts who has the ability to clear the field.

"I send Old God Nutz to the Graveyard, and then send Giant Jet Moon Shining from your Extra Deck to the Graveyard. Old God Nutz and Giant Jet Moon Shining have 1600 and 2500 attack points respectively, so the White Knight of the Fierce Guide's attack point increases by 2050!"

In just a moment, the White Knight of the Fierce Guide gained powerful strength, and its attack power increased from a meager 500 to 2550, which is higher than the attack power of most duelist ace monsters. However, he did not activate the effect to increase the attack power.

"I activate the effect of Old God Nutz. If this card is sent to the Graveyard, I can activate this effect by targeting 1 card on the field. Destroy that card." Nero pointed at the only monster on Perlivia's field and said, "I destroy the Grim Relict Magician on your field!"

"Whoosh!"

Accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air, a green spear flew out from Nero's tomb, and like Odin's spear, it pierced straight through the body of the cold-blooded relic magician!

"Satellite Shining can only be special summoned from hand if there is a two-star monster on the field. As long as there is no two-star monster on her field, she will not be able to use Shining Axis." Nero looked at the empty front field of Perlivia and gently placed his little hand on his own face-up card - Perlivia's summon has been used, and she will probably use the point in her hand next. As long as he destroys her point, he has a chance to win this duel!

"So that was the card I was holding in my hand at that time?" Perlivia's lips curled up slightly as she inserted a card into the duel board. "Well done, but how are you going to respond to this move?"

"I activate the Ritual Magic Card - Lost Ice Magic Mirror!"

"Release 1 face-up monster on your opponent's side of the field, or combine the levels until it matches the monster you Ritual Summon. Release monsters from your hand or field, and Ritual Summon 1 "Legacy" Ritual Monster from your hand. You lose Life Points based on the original attack value!"

A biting frost suddenly hit the entire duel arena, condensing the water molecules in the air into ice. Above the ice, a hexagonal mirror with a purple frame appeared in front of everyone.

Perlivia slowly raised her hand and pointed at Nero's vicious White Knight without hesitation, saying, "I will liberate your vicious White Knight and ritually summon the Evil Legacy Heart Sea Fairy!!!"

"Boom!!!"

As Purlivia finished her words, the fierce white knight holding a silver shield disappeared in the air in an instant, and the next second, a dark blue giant Kun fell from the sky. On the head of the giant Kun, sat a blue-haired girl holding a staff. She looked directly at Nero with her straight and sharp eyes, as if to pierce him.

Perlivia lp: 8000→5000.

"It appeared. It's the ritual monster that Purlivia recently acquired."

Zhu Xiu, who was standing in the distance, saw this scene and suddenly spoke.

Although Purlivia forbade them to follow, she did not forbid them from watching from a distance.

"Hey, hey, hey... that monster, no matter how you look at it, it looks like my God Shaddoll, the Seven Sages Giant Kun Demon, right?" Nefeli couldn't help but complain, "Could it be that besides fusion, Shaddoll also has ritual powers?"

"Who knows? Maybe you can give it a try." Zhu Xiu said indifferently.

Nefeli hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "Forget it. I still find Fusion Summoning more comfortable... Speaking of which, isn't Perlivia being too much of a bully? Nero's only 14, right?"

"Yuan Qi is only 16 years old." Zhu Xiu said with a hint of meaning.

Nefeli raised an eyebrow. "You mean—Nero has a chance of winning?"

"That's not like you to say." Zhu Xiu glanced at Nafeili and said, "Did you take the wrong medicine? Or was you actually replaced while I wasn't paying attention?"

"Hahaha, just kidding." Nafeli laughed three times, then raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "How can there be an absolute victory or defeat in a duel?"

"..."

"I activate the effect of Evil Legacy Heart Sea Fairy!" Purlivia said solemnly, "If this card is successfully Ritual Summoned, I can activate this effect by targeting 1 Water monster in your Graveyard. Special Summon that monster!"

"I Special Summon the Grim Relict Magician from the Graveyard!"

The cold-blooded relic magician who had just been pierced by a spear slowly crawled out of Perlivia's grave like an undead. It seemed that the previous attack had indeed caused serious damage. However, before it could stand firm on the field, a beam of scorching flames suddenly attacked from above it!

"When the Grim Relic Sorcerer's special move succeeds, I activate the Trap Card - Dogmatika's Punishment."

Nero knows about the deck called the Thunder Elf.

Therefore, she is also very clear about the effect of the Evil Legacy Heart Sea Fairy. If the trap card is activated when the Evil Legacy Heart Sea Fairy has just been successfully ritually summoned, another two-star monster will appear on the field of Perlivia. That's why Nero deliberately waits until the Cold Legacy Magician appears before activating the effect.

"I will destroy the Grim Relict Magician on your field, and then I will send a monster from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard." Without the slightest hesitation, Nero once again drew the familiar card from his Extra Deck and sent it to his own Graveyard, "I will send the Old God Nutz to the Graveyard!"

The sharp spear shot out from the cemetery like a bullet again, but this time, the target was no longer a small fry like the Cold-Hearted Relic Magician.

"I activate the effect of Old God Nutz!" Nero shouted softly, "If this card is sent to the Graveyard, I can activate this by targeting 1 card on the field. Destroy that card. I destroy the Unholy Heart Sea Fairy on your field!"

"Qiang!"

Unlike the previous results, the sharp spear did not penetrate the body of the Evil Legacy Heart Sea Fairy, but was blocked by a thick ice shield.

"I activate the effect of Unholy Legacy Heart Sea Fairy," Purlivia said slowly. "Once per turn, you can activate this effect only when your opponent activates a monster effect. Select 1 "Legacy" Ritual Monster on your field and return it to its owner's hand. The activation is negated and returned to its owner's deck!"

Chapter 132: It still has to be a fusion summon.

"I return the Evil Relic Heart Sea Fairy on the field to my hand, negating the effect of the Old God Nutz."

The attack of the old god Nutz was thus repelled, but as a price, the evil relic sea fairy summoned by the ritual with great difficulty once again returned to Perlivia's hands, and Perlivia's field was still empty!

"Mediocre."

There was no shock or disappointment on Perlivia's face. She simply inserted a card into the duel disk with a blank expression and said, "I pay 1000lp and activate the magic card - Simple Fusion!"

"Ok?"

Nero was slightly startled, as if a little surprised, and then the image of a monster suddenly flashed through his mind.

She was originally surprised why there was a fusion monster in Purlivia's extra deck that could not be summoned at all. Was it used to match the simple fusion?

While Nero was stunned, Perlivia slapped the extra monster in her hand on the Duel Board: "I Special Summon the Unseen from the Extra Deck!"

[Angel of Nothingness/Dark Level/2 Fusion/Adjustment]

A green glaze peacock slowly landed on Purlivia's field, spreading its snow-white feathers like an elegant princess.

Although Nothingness has no effect, it is indeed a rare Tuner Monster. However, Purlivia summoned it not for a Synchro Summon, but...

"Because I have a Level 2 or Link 2 monster on the field, I Special Summon Satellite Shining Red Spirit from my hand!"

The orange-red satellite Shining, the Red Elf, jumped in front of Purlivia with a giggle like a naughty child. The two long lightning bolts on its head looked like two sharp horns and a pair of fluffy ponytails.

When Nero saw this scene, the blood instantly drained from his face.

Why is it the satellite Shining Red Elf?

The effect of Satellite Shining Red Spirit is that when the opponent activates a monster effect, they can only activate it by Tributing a Level 1, Level 2, Link 2 monster on their side of the field. That effect is negated, which means that Fleurdelis, the Knight of Dogmatika, is completely defeated, and they can no longer stop Perlivia's deployment.

No, wait, maybe there is still hope, if she doesn't have other Shinings, or if there aren't enough expansion points...

However, Perlivia quickly shattered Nero's last glimmer of hope. She gently slapped a monster in her hand onto the Duel Board and said in her cold, even voice, "If you have a Level 2 or Level 2 monster on your field, you can Special Summon this card from your hand."

"I Special Summon Satellite Shining Blue Jet from my hand!"

"Crack!"
