A duelist never gives up!

[Huh? Are you serious?]

【You're not scared anymore, are you?】

【How can it be? ! 】

【…】

While Nona was talking to Ino in her mind, on the other side, Yuan Qi also loosened his arms.

"Thank you for your help." Yuan Qi whispered.

"Well, leave it to me." Julie nodded.

"Then..." Yuan Qi once again distanced himself from Julie and said, "Duel!"

"duel!"

"drop!"

With a crisp sound, Yuan Qi got the right to choose who to go first or second.

"I choose to go first!"

Yuan Qi said, and without hesitation, he drew five cards from the deck.

"Wow, you have a pretty good hand." Ai looked at the cards Yuan Qi had drawn and pointed at one of them. "First, use the Field Magic Card to search..."

"No, I should cast Demon King first to search for Fusion." Yuan Qi said expressionlessly as he discarded Demon King of the Swamp. "I enter the Main Phase, activate the effect of Demon King of the Swamp, and add the Spell Card - Fusion from the Deck to my hand."

"Uh...it's all the same." Ai muttered softly. If the opponent had Gray Liuli in his hand, he wouldn't have the Gray Demon King.

Maybe it will even eat the lock bird.

"Then, I activate the Field Spell Card—One World of Destruction—Pearl World." Hara Nana slapped a card from his hand onto the Duel Board. "Once per turn, as a card effect when this card is activated, you can add one "Pearl Tear Lament" monster or "Visas Starfrost" from your deck to your hand."

"I added the Merlot Mermaid, the Tearful Singer, from my deck to my hand."

"I actually drew the field at the very beginning?" Julie couldn't help but murmured as she looked at the Crystal Tree standing on the duel field. The Pearl Tears' field not only has the function of searching, but also has the effect of destroying the cards on the field. This is very unfriendly to her Red Pit Sticker Golden Country.

Meanwhile, after adding Merlo Mermaid to his hand, Yuan Qi placed it on the Duel Board without hesitation: "I Normal Summon Merlo Mermaid of the Pearly Tear Lament Tribe."

"Wow~"

Accompanied by the rustling sound of flowing water, the Mello mermaid with short silver hair appeared in front of Yuan Qi. Although the Mello mermaid held the huge hammer tightly in her small hands, against the backdrop of her petite body, she and the hammer in her hands looked harmless, and instead looked a little cute.

"I activate the effect of Merlo Mermaid and send three cards from my deck to the Graveyard," Hara Nana said, flipping over the top three cards of his deck. "The three cards sent to the Graveyard are Foolish Burial, Fenrir Wolf of the Kusha Rage Tribe, and Sword Priest M'dora!"

"Ah, this tomb is a bit disappointing." said Ai.

"It doesn't matter, just stack it up again." Yuan Qi said, inserting a card into the Duel Board and said, "Next, I activate the magic card Foolish Sub-Burial!"

"I send Lament of a Lifetime of Destruction from my deck to the graveyard, then activate the effect of Lament of a Lifetime of Destruction." Hara Nana pointed to his graveyard. "This can only be activated if this card is sent to the graveyard by an effect. Add 1 'Pearl Tear Lament' monster from your deck to your hand."

"I added the Siren Mermaid of the Pearly Tearful Lament Tribe to my hand from my deck!"

As soon as Yuan Qi added the Siren Mermaid to his hand, he couldn't wait to show it off and said, "I'm activating the Siren Mermaid's effect!"

"You can only activate this during your Main Phase. Special Summon this card from your hand, select 1 monster from your hand, and send it to the Graveyard. After that, send the top 3 cards from your Deck to the Graveyard!"

"I Special Summon Siren Mermaid from my hand!"

Accompanied by a soft white light, the Siren mermaid holding a silver sword landed gently in front of Yuan Qi like a petal. Her wine-red eyes looked at Julie opposite her curiously, wondering why her master's opponent this time was another young girl.

"Then, I send Ancient Guard Agito from my hand to the Graveyard, and three cards from the top of my Deck to the Graveyard!"

Yuan Qi once again flipped over the top three cards of his deck and said, "Melo Mermaid of the Pearly Tear Singing Tribe, Ancient Vanguard Kelberk, and the String that Pierces the Evil of a Lifetime!"

Seeing this, Ai clapped his hands and laughed cheerfully, as clear as a silver bell: "What a pile!"

Chapter 73: The naughty elf survived for the time being.

"I activate the effects of Ancient Guard Agito, Ancient Vanguard Kelberk, String of the One-Life-Splitting Devil, and the Mello Mermaid of the Pearly Tear Lament Tribe in the cemetery. C1c2c3c4!"

Yuan Qi stretched out his hand and shouted, "I will return the Merlo Mermaid and the Demon King from the graveyard to the deck and Fusion Summon them!"

"Come out! The Rusalka Mermaid of the Pearly Tear Singing Tribe!!!"

The dazzling and glittering mermaid Rusalka of the Pearl Tears Elegy tribe moved her long, straight legs and slowly walked in front of Yuan Qi, sparkling in the sunlight.

"Then, I add the Counter Trap Card—Clear Echo of a Lifetime of Evil—from my deck to my hand!"

Although we now have the Dragon King to prevent victory or defeat, it is not impossible that the opponent will fail first and then win or lose, or win or lose with two cards.

So here we have to search for the noble three-speed counterattack.

"Then, I deal with the effects of Ancient Vanguard and Ancient Guard, and both parties send ten cards from the top of their decks to the Graveyard!"

Yuan Qi said, flipping the top of his deck again and saying, "The cards sent to me are: Demon King of the Swamp, Sword Priest Mdora, Lament of the First Destruction, Demon World of the Sixth Destruction, Proliferating G, Pearl Tear Lament-type Kusha Nuwei, Pearl Tear Lament-tribe Renohart, Pearl Tear Lament-tribe Mermaid, Proliferating G, Pearl Tear Lament-tribe Mermaid, and Shaddoll!"

"Ah... it looks like there are a lot of them, but actually there isn't a single fusion... should I activate the effect of Renohart in the graveyard?" Ai gave his own suggestion after making an evaluation.

"No rush, let's see what Julie has piled up first." Yuan Qi said, turning his gaze to Julie.

Unlike Sera's Insect Demon, if Julie really uses the Golden Country, then this tomb stacking can be regarded as a real resource explosion for her.

As expected, seeing Julie nod slightly, he said in a cold voice, "The cards I was sent to the cemetery are: Blackened Awakening Eldritch of the Golden Country, Golden Lord Eldritch Lich, Thousands of Separations, Burgess Beast - Goblet Worm, Conqueror of the Golden Country, Red Bloodstained Eldritch of the Golden Country, Skill Extraction, Gray Flowing Beauty, Pot of Greed and Gold, and Tomb Robber of the Golden Country."

"..."

"Compared to this, it seems better not to pile it up." Ai said sullenly.

"Never mind, you'll just get used to it. Theoretically, we don't need to fill the graveyard, but I saw the Sword God Palace in the graveyard and wanted to take advantage of it," Yuan Qi said, extending his hand and continuing, "I'll activate the effect of the Shaddoll in the graveyard and draw a card from the deck."

Seeing this, Julie also spoke up, "I activate the effects of the Blackened Awakened Eldritch and the Red Bloodstained Eldritch from the graveyard, covering the field with Grave Robber of the Golden Country and Conqueror of the Golden Country from the deck."

In this way, even though it was not Julie's turn yet, her field was already covered with two traps.

"Well, I'll draw a card from the deck first." Yuan Qi calmly drew a card from the deck and added it to his hand. Then he inserted the Fusion Magic Card he had prepared long ago into the Duel Board and said, "Next, I'll activate the Magic Card - Fusion!"

"I send the two Mermaids, Siren and Rusalka, to the Graveyard for Fusion Summoning!"

"Come out! The plant-eating Rhino-Ceratops!!!"

As a refreshing fragrance filled the air, a plant-eating rhinoceros with a grass-green appearance appeared in front of Yuan Qi, scanning the surroundings with its scarlet eyes, as if looking for any prey that could fill its stomach.

Rhynohorn's effect negates monster effects and reduces their star level to 1. However, the Eldlion deck only has one monster, the Golden Lord, and the Golden Lord can only activate its effects in the graveyard or in the hand. Strictly speaking, using Rhynohorn against Eldlion is like trying to dry wet clothes with a hair dryer—not completely useless, but only minimally effective (be careful not to hold it too close, as it can get water in it).

If that's the case, why would Yuan Qi spend two monsters and a fusion magic card to summon a monster that has no effect in the game?

The answer is of course - to send it to the grave!

"I activate the effect of Rusalka Mermaid, a member of the Pearl Tear Song Tribe, in my graveyard!" Hara Nana shouted, pointing at his own graveyard. "I can only activate this effect if this Fusion Summoned card is sent to the Graveyard by an effect. Special Summon this card!"

"Then, I activate the effect of the Siren Mermaid of the Pearly Tearful Lament Tribe in the graveyard!"

"You can only activate this effect if this card is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect. Return the Fusion Material Monsters of this card, including those in the Graveyard, from your hand, field, and Graveyard in the order you prefer to the bottom of your owner's Deck, and Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck!"

“c1c2!”

After quickly arranging the chain, Harachi held up an extra card and said, "I return the Siren Mermaid from the Graveyard and the Demon King from the Swamp to the Deck, and Fusion Summon them!"

"Come out! Grafa, the Dragon King of the Dark Realm!!!"

As black lightning exploded in the air, Grafa, the Dragon King of the Dark Realm, whose attack power was even higher than that of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, appeared on Yuan Qi's field with his fangs bared!

"Then, awaken, Rusalka mermaid of the Pearly Tear Sorrow Tribe!"

As a dazzling white light lit up, the Rusalka mermaid of the Pearl Tear Elegy Clan, who had just been sent to the cemetery, returned to Yuan Qi's field again.

"Because I have a 'Pearl Tear Lament' monster in my Graveyard, I'm returning it to my Deck. So, I'm activating the effect of Pearl World to destroy a card on the field," Hara Nana said, pointing to Julie's face-down card in the backfield. "I destroy the Conqueror of the Golden Land on your field!"

"Oh!"

With a deafening bang, the Conqueror of the Golden Country on Julie's field was blown up by a huge beam of light. However, even if it was sent to the graveyard, the Conqueror of the Golden Country could still banish itself at the end of the turn to cover the El Dorado Elixir in his deck, so Yuan Qi had to use the Ancient Vanguard in his graveyard to sweep it back.

However, Yuan Qi didn't rush to do so. Instead, he reached into his extra deck and said, "I will set the Predator Plant Rhynohorn and the Pearl Tear Lament Tribe Mermaid on the field to the Link Marker!"

"The summoning conditions are 2 monsters, including a 2-star, 2-level, 2-link monster, Link Summon!"

"Come out! Satellite Shining·Naughty Elf!!!"

Just like that, after sending the useless Rhinohorn and the Mermaid who had already exerted its effect to the graveyard, the Naughty Elf with a super powerful effect walked out of the connection circuit.

Chapter 74: My turn, draw a card!

It can be said that it is quite profitable to exchange a monster that has already had its effect and a monster that is almost useless in the game for a powerful plug-in that can add the "untargetable" buff to both monsters and a two-speed special summon to the graveyard once a turn. The advantage of the link summon is fully demonstrated on the monster Naughty Elf, which makes people sigh that this monster with only 1400 attack power is so powerful.

"Then, I activate the effect of Sword Priest Mudora in the Graveyard, banishing this card from the Graveyard, and return Graverobber of the Golden Country and Conqueror of the Golden Country x2 from your Graveyard to the Deck."

As Yuan Qi finished speaking, a ball of white light shot into Julie's graveyard, returning the three cards inside to the deck.

"Finally, I'll cover a card, and the turn ends." Yuan Qi inserted a card into the duel disk, and the turn ended.

"Then, my turn, draw a card!"

Julie shouted and quickly drew a card from the deck into her hand.

Hey, this card...

Julie was slightly stunned when she saw the card she drew.

I didn’t expect that I actually got it?

This is really... what that guy said was right.

Julie glanced at Yuan Qi with a complicated expression, then sighed softly and said, "I enter the Main Phase, banish six of my own monsters, and activate the Spell Card - Pot of Lust and Gold."

"chain."

Hara Nana spoke without hesitation, "I activate the effect of Grafa, the Dragon King of the Dark Realm on my field. This effect can only be activated when your opponent activates a monster effect, Normal Spell, or Normal Trap Card. That effect becomes 'My opponent chooses 1 card from their hand and discards it!'"

Yuan Qi saw Julie shake her head slightly and realized she hadn't chained, so he chained himself. "Then, I'll chain activate the effect of Sword Priest in my graveyard, banishing this card in the graveyard. I'll also return the Golden Lord Eldlich in your graveyard and the two Lamentations of a Lifetime of Destruction in my graveyard to the deck."

Julie still shook her head at this.

"No chain?" Yuan Qi saw this and immediately dealt with the Dragon King's effect. "Then I will discard the Ancient Vanguard Kelberk in my hand."

This time, Yuan Qi did not choose to activate the effect of the ancient vanguard Kyleberk. After the last experience of tomb piling, even though there was still tomb sweeping in the cemetery, he did not want to repeat the same mistake.

"Then, I activate the Continuous Spell Card - Cursed Golden Kingdom."

Julie inserted a card into the Duel Board and said, "I pay 800 LP to activate the effect of Cursed Golden Kingdom."

Once per turn, add 1 "Golden Lich" monster or 1 "Golden Country" Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand.

"chain."

Hara Nana opened his face-down card and said, "I activate the Counter Trap Card - Echo of a Desolate Lifetime of Purity, negating the activation of Cursed Golden Kingdom and returning it to the Deck. After that, I select 1 monster from my hand and send it to the Graveyard!"

Yuan Qi said, throwing the last card in his hand to the graveyard and said: "I will send the Fairy Legend Princess - Snow White from my hand to the graveyard!"

"You still have Snow White in your hand?" Julie was slightly taken aback, but quickly turned her gaze to her own field and said, "Then I activate the Trap Card - Grave Robber of the Golden Country."

"When this card is activated, it becomes a Normal Monster (Undead-Type, Light, Level 5, Attack 1800, Defense 1500) and is Special Summoned to the Monster Zone. This card also functions as a Trap Card."

Because there is no Golden Lord on the field, the tomb robber of the Golden Country can only become an ineffective blank at this moment.

"I'm going to link the Graverobber of the Golden Country on the field and link summon him." Julie calmly slapped a card in her hand on the Duel Board and said, "Come out, Link Spider!"

Accompanied by a rustling sound, an eight-legged connected spider appeared in front of Julie.

"Then, I cover the three cards in my hand and enter the end phase of the turn."

"and many more."

Yuan Qi quickly extended his hand and said, "Before you enter the sub-turn phase, I will activate the effect of my Naughty Elf on the field!"

During your/your opponent's Main Phase, you can target 1 Level 2 monster in your Graveyard. Special Summon that monster.

"I'm special recruiting the Mello Mermaid of the Pearly Tear Singing Tribe from the graveyard once again!"

So, under the power of the naughty elf, the Merlo mermaid who was originally sleeping in the cemetery woke up again.

"Then, I activate the effect of Merlot!" Hara Nana said, pointing at the Merlot that had just appeared on his field. "This can only be activated if this card is successfully Normal Summoned or Special Summoned. Send three cards from the top of your deck to the Graveyard!"

"I knew it." Julie looked at this scene, and familiar pictures emerged in her mind.

That was the scene where I lost.

"The three cards I sent to the graveyard were Foolish Sub-Burial, Little Mermaid of the Pearly Tearful Elegy Tribe, and Planet Transformation!"

"It's over now." Ai couldn't help but say as she looked at the little mermaid in the cemetery.

"Yeah." Yuan Qi nodded and continued, "I'll activate the effect of the little mermaid in the cemetery!"
