A duelist never gives up!

"Crack!"

Just when Sera was about to crawl into the ground out of embarrassment, the last card in the deck suddenly popped out.

"It's actually at the bottom?!" Sera was slightly startled at first, then chuckled and held out her hand. "Never mind, it's good enough... Next, use your power to bring me victory! Destined Hero Blood Demon-D!!!"

Chapter 146: My turn, draw a card.

"brush!"

Sera suddenly pulled out the card that popped out of the deck, then raised it high above her head and said, "Look, this is the power of a hero!"

After saying that, Sera waved her hand and prepared to slap her duel disk.

"Wait a minute." Nero suddenly whispered, "Senior Sera, the monster on your field doesn't meet the conditions for Bloodthirster-D to appear."

Sera currently only has two monsters on the field: Destiny Hero Destruction Phoenix Man and Masked Hero Gust of Wind, and summoning Blood Demon-D requires three monsters.

"Uh—" Sera's hand froze, and then she quickly put it down, coughing twice, and said, "Of course I know about such trivial matters. I just... I was just pretending to scare the other person."

Nero raised his head and looked at his aunt. Seeing her face had long since returned to calm, he replied, "Aunt was not frightened."

Nonsense, I can't say that I was so excited that I subconsciously forgot to meet the summoning conditions, right?

"Anyway, just watch." Sera waved her hand, inserted another card into the duel disk and said, "I activate the magic card - Miracle Fusion!"

"This card's effect is to banish the Fusion Material Monster determined by the "Elemental Hero" Fusion Monster Card from your field or Graveyard, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck!"

After saying that, Sera banished the two monsters in her graveyard and said, "I banish the Elemental Heroes Shadow Mist Lady and Sky Man from the graveyard, and Fusion Summon - Elemental Hero Nether Lady!!"

The pitch-black Nether Girl seems to be an evolved version of the Shadow Mist Girl. In addition to retaining the two characteristics of "black tights" and "slender figure", she also adds sharp blades and a new hairstyle.

As for the effect...

It doesn't matter now.

Because she was about to be sacrificed.

"For victory, sacrifice is inevitable." Sera raised her head seriously, looking at the three heroes on her field, and said, "So, lend me your strength!"

Sera once again raised Bloodthirster-D, the Hero of Destiny, high in the air. A deep voice emanated from her rosy lips as she spoke, "I will liberate all three monsters on the field! Special Summon this monster from your hand!"

"Come on! The ultimate hero of destiny!! Blood Demon-D!!!"

The black aura spread across the duel field like mist. Astram, who was standing in front of Perlivia, showed a look of pain the moment he came into contact with the black mist. Even the light blue light on his body dimmed at this moment.

"Well!"

At the moment when Blood Demon-D was successfully summoned, Sera suddenly felt as if her head was pricked by a needle. She staggered subconsciously and almost fainted on the ground.

"Hiss - this rude mental pressure... Should I say it's worthy of being Blood Demon-D?" Sera half-closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and straightened her back again - it would be too lame to bend over and look very tired at this time!

"Not many monsters can withstand the power of Blood Demon-D. I win this duel!" Although it was not the end yet, Sera blew the horn of victory to Perlivia. Of course, this was not because she was reckless, but a test with a deeper meaning. Her mental state was not enough for her to summon Blood Demon-D for a long time. It would be best if the opponent lost his fighting spirit because of the appearance of Blood Demon-D.

However, Purlivia's face was like a piece of thousand-year-old black ice. Even though Blood Demon-D was standing on Sera's field, she did not show any panic.

"Are you just appearing calm or do you have a way to deal with it?" Sera stared at Perlivia, her expression constantly changing, but in the end she shifted her gaze to Blood Demon-D on her own field.

All of his current resources have been used to summon this monster. Even if Purlivia has a way to deal with it, he can't do anything else.

At times like this, we can only remain unchanged in the face of change!

"I activate the effect of Bloodthirster-D, the hero of destiny!" Sera shouted. "I target Astram, the Knight of the Double Sky on your field, and equip it to Bloodthirster-D, the hero of destiny!"

Following Sera's command, the black mist pulled Astram from Perlivia's field like spider silk and placed him behind Blood Demon-D.

Destiny Hero Bloodfiend-D atk: 1900 → 3400

"Then, I enter the combat phase!" Sera said with a wave of her finger. "I will use the Destiny Hero Blood Demon-D to directly attack you!"

"brush!"

The black mist that filled the air transformed into sharp spears that surrounded Purlivia and then pierced into her body at the same time!

Perlivia lp: 7000→3600.

Although the scene looked scary, it was ultimately the result of the power of duel, and did not really leave bloody holes in Perlivia. At least from Perlivia's appearance, this attack seemed to have no pain at all for her.

Sera subconsciously licked her dry lips and continued, "I'm ending this round. It's your turn."

Purlivia nodded, but she didn't rush to draw cards from the deck. Instead, she said to Sera, "Well done! It really surprised me."

Sera raised an eyebrow. "Just a surprise? Isn't your heart already pounding with fear?"

Purlivia shook her head and said to Sera seriously, "The last time my heart was pounding because of a duel was when I was a student."

"Eh...that's really scary." Sera twitched her lips. Was this guy trying to say he hadn't encountered a crisis since his school days? There had to be a limit to joking!

However, Perlivia's next sentence made Sera frown.

"Your strength is quite good. If you continue to develop, perhaps you can reach my current level." Perlivia paused and continued, "So I want to give you a suggestion."

"Suggestions? I don't think I need any advice from others." Sera said a little displeased.

However, Purlivia didn't care about Sera's words. She just stared into Sera's eyes and said seriously, "Don't waste your energy disturbing your opponent's mentality, and don't over-guess your opponent's thoughts."

Sera froze slightly, as if her parents had discovered the novel she had secretly hidden, and she felt a little at a loss.

Perlivia simply continued in her calm and clear voice, "Strong duelists all possess a steadfast and unyielding mindset. Your provocations and insults will only strengthen their resolve. Over-analyzing their thoughts will also allow them to exploit you. Your own mindset is written all over your face. How about at least controlling your facial expressions before trying to deceive your opponent?"

"..."

Sera subconsciously touched her somewhat cold cheek and couldn't help but murmured softly: "Written on the face? Is it that obvious?"

Purlivia didn't answer Sera's question. She simply stretched out her hand towards her duel disk and said, "My turn, draw a card."

Chapter 147: Three types of cover cards.

"Gulu."

Although Purlivia asked Sera not to pay too much attention to her opponent's actions, Sera couldn't help but focus her attention on Purlivia's every move.

After all, she had seen many powerful duelists who were forced into desperate situations, but at the critical moment they managed to turn the tables by making an inexplicable "magic draw" and pulling out an extremely powerful card. As the Duel King, Purlivia must also possess this "skill".

However, to Sera's surprise, after Purlivia shouted "Draw a card," she simply used her slender fingers to casually draw a card from the deck and said directly, "I enter the main phase."

Huh? Is this card draw too ordinary?

Sera raised her eyebrows, feeling a strange feeling in her heart. According to the normal development of the plot, shouldn't she be emitting an imposing aura, shouting "bond", "dream", "hope" and so on, and then suddenly draw a card from the deck that she has never seen before, forcibly remove Blood Demon-D, and crush herself to pieces?

Although Sera herself has never encountered a situation where she can draw whatever she wants, as a companion of Genshichi, Sera still believes in the existence of things like "God Draw" and "Flash Card Draw". Since Genshichi can do it, then as the Duel King, Purlivia should be able to do it too.

"No need."

As if she could see Sera's confusion, Perlivia slowly said, "Victory has already fallen into my hands. No matter what card I draw, it will not affect the result."

"Huh?" Sera smirked, seeming a bit unconvinced. "You mean, you predicted I would summon Blood Devil-D and prepared a countermeasure in advance?!"

Purlivia shook her head. "I didn't predict it that far. Rather, you handed me the key to victory yourself."

Sera's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her green eyes stared straight at Purlivia: "I'm giving you the key to victory? What do you mean? I don't remember doing anything to benefit you."

Facing Sera's question, Perlivia suddenly said something incomprehensible: "It would be better if the Masked Hero Gust of Wind's effect was destruction."

Wouldn't it be nice if Masked Hero Gust's effect was destruction?

What nonsense is she talking about? Rebounding cards is much more flexible than destroying them...

and many more!

Sera's body stiffened, as if she thought of something, and drops of cold sweat oozed out from her forehead.

"Have you thought of it?" Perlivia looked at Sera's expression and gently raised three fingers. "Remember, there are usually only three types of cards that are covered in non-red pit decks."

"The first type is the family trap, like Orcust's Stairs, Golem Dessert's Stroll, and Cyber ​​Dragon's Cyber ​​Overflow. These are all cover cards that can be guessed based on the deck, and sometimes the opponent will search them directly, so they're easy to guess."

"The second type is the Named series. Most decks will use Named to prevent hand traps, and they will also cover it up for the sake of rush. The possibility of Named from the Grave is the highest. The probability of Obliterating Finger is very low, but it is not impossible."

"The third type is the negation system. Infinite Bubble and other such things can be used as both hand traps and board clears, so it goes without saying. Taboo's Drop can also be blocked due to the rush attack."

Having said that, Sera has completely understood where Perlivia's confidence comes from.

"The card I bounced back into your hand, was it an infinite bubble or a drop?" Sera asked unwillingly.

Perlivia showed a card in her hand and replied, "Unfortunately, it's an infinite bubble."

Bloodseeker-D is a very powerful monster. Although it requires three monsters as sacrifices, Bloodseeker-D not only has its own fields that can be searched, but also has the effect of unilateral skill extraction. Generally, when a deck encounters Bloodseeker-D, there is basically no other way except to surrender.

but.

Being strong does not mean being invincible.

Blood Demon-D can negate the effects of the opponent's monsters, but it is powerless against Spell and Trap Cards.

That is to say...

"I activate the Trap Card—Infinite Bubble." Perlivia inserted the card in her hand into the Duel Plate and pointed coldly at Blood Demon-D on Sera's field. "I will target Blood Demon-D on your field and negate its effect."

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, blue lightning fell from the sky like a divine punishment, striking Blood Demon-D fiercely and dispelling the black mist on his body.

Seeing this, Sera couldn't help but complain about the effect of Masked Hero Gust of Wind: "Tsk, if only it bounced back into the deck."

However, although she said so, Sera knew in her heart that she could not complain about this kind of thing. The effect of each card has its own meaning and it is not something she can do as she pleases.

"Next is the finishing touches." Perlivia gently slapped a card in her hand onto the Duel Board and said, "I Normal Summon Grim Relic Sorcerer."

The brown shark-headed monster holding a staff appeared on Perlivia's field again, with its long mouth slightly open and closed, looking a little hungry.

"I activate the effect of Grim Relic Magician," Perlivia said skillfully, "I Special Summon Relic Abyssal Shark from the Deck."

Along with a stream of water surging in the air, the purple-colored Abyss Shark once again appeared on Perlivia's field.

"I activate the effect of Abyssal Shark, add Shadow Legacy Mage from the deck to my hand, and then..." Purlivia thought for a moment, then held it up high without drawing a card from the Extra Deck, "I set the Grim Legacy Mage and Abyssal Shark on the field to the Link Markers."

"The summoning conditions are to Link Summon two monsters, including a Level 2, Level 2, Link 2 monster."

"Satellite Shining Naughty Elf."

The red naughty elf appeared on Purlivia's field again, and this time, her target was the satellite Shining in the cemetery!

"I activate the effect of Satellite Shining: Naughty Elf." Purlivia reached into the graveyard and said, "I Special Summon Satellite Shining: Red Elf from the graveyard to the field."

The orange-yellow satellite Shining Red Elf once again appeared on Perlivia's field, like a ruthless executioner, erasing the last bit of suspense in the duel.

"This way, we're completely safe," Purlivia said, discarding a card in her hand to the graveyard. "I'll activate the effect of Shadow Legacy Sorcerer."

"You can activate this by discarding this card from your hand. Add the Lost Illusionary Water Mirror from your deck to your hand!"

Chapter 148: Who will come first?

The most difficult thing in a duel is to watch the opponent push you into a dead end step by step, while you can only watch helplessly.

Sera was in this situation at the moment. She knew very well that if she let Perlivia continue to fight, the duel would come to an end. However, Blood Demon-D was invalidated, and she had a useless Phantom Hero Increaser in her hand. Even if she used a sleeve swap, she could not break through Perlivia's satellite Shining Red Elf on the field.

This duel has...completely reached a deadlock!

"That's all I can do..." Sera closed her eyes in pain, unwilling to continue witnessing the cruel reality before her, but reality would not stop because of Sera's refusal.

"I activate the Ritual Magic Card - Relict Water Mirror." Purlivia sent a card in her hand to the graveyard and said, "I release a Evil Relict Heart Sea Fairy from my hand, and then ritually summon the Evil Relict Heart Sea Fairy from my hand!"

The blue-haired girl with a wizard hat on her head once again sat on her blue giant Kun and slowly appeared from the ritual circle to Purlivia's field. She waved her heavy staff, trying to summon the things that had returned back to this world.

"I activate the effect of Unholy Relic Heart Sea Fairy to Special Summon Relic Abyss Shark from the Graveyard."

The purple Abyss Shark once again revived from the field and took on the task of searching.

"I activate the effect of Abyssal Shark and add Phantom Relic Sorcerer from my deck to my hand."

"Phantom Relic Magician?" Sera suddenly raised her head and looked at Perlivia with suspicion, as if she suspected that she had heard it wrongly.

According to common sense, shouldn't Perlivia be searching for the Shadow Relic Mage now?

Wait...Polyvia had already retrieved two Shadow Relict Warlocks at T1, and just used another one... In other words, there is no Shadow Relict Warlock in Polyvia's deck now!

Then, she wouldn't be able to continue searching for the ritual magic card!

"According to the effect of Cold-Hearted Legacy Sorcerer, Auntie can only use Ritual Monsters to declare an attack this turn, which means... there is still a chance!" Nero also encouraged from the side.

However, Nona on the side poured cold water on him mercilessly: "Chance? How could there be such a thing? Just watch, the duel is about to end."

As if to confirm Nona's words, Perlivia once again pulled a card from the Extra Deck, held it between her fingers and raised it, saying, "I will stack the Abyssal Shark and Satellite Shining Red Elf on the field!"
