A duelist never gives up!

It would be nice if classmate Yuan Qi was here with me.

Xuefeng shook his head in self-mockery. Really, classmate Yuan Qi must be fighting the same hard battle as himself now. He can't be so weak. There are duel elves behind him who need to be saved.

"Next, because there's a "Phantom" monster on the field, I Special Summon Phantom Sonata from my hand in Defense Position. Due to Phantom Sonata's effect, the ATK and DEF of all Angel-Type monsters on my field increase by 500!"

A girl with eyes as deep blue as the sea appeared on the field in a gorgeous dress. Unlike Alia, the girl had a more slender and mature figure, and a calmer expression, like a reliable older sister.

Phantom Music Maiden Aria: ATK: 1600 → 2100. EDF: 1200 → 1700.

Sonata: ATK: 1200 → 1700. EDF: 1000 → 1500.

"I'm ending my round like this. It's your turn now."

"Eh?!" Xuefeng couldn't help but scream.

Is this the end of the round?

Could it be that the female duelist in front of him was not as strong as he imagined?

Compared to Julie's special summon of Death Dragon in the first round, Nero's casual special summon of Soul Bird, and Sera's preemptive cover of the terrifying trap, the two monsters in front of them with an attack power of just over 2,000 are really not enough.

Moreover, those two monsters are both in defense mode, even though their attack power is obviously higher?

"Hey, it's your turn. Why are you still hesitating there? Or... are you so scared by the Dark Duel that your whole body is stiff and you can't even draw a card?" the woman said sarcastically.

"Um...is your arm okay?"

The wounded duel elf behind her asked with concern. Although she didn't want to admit it, she clearly saw Xuefeng's arm being severely whipped on her behalf.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Xuefeng smiled at the duel elves behind him.

Then, Xuefeng turned around and reached for her deck, her pretty face becoming determined. "Then, it's my turn, draw a card!"

That's right, I'm not the same person anymore. I've fought many people and become stronger than before, so - there won't be any problem!

Xuefeng glanced at the cards in her hand and made a split-second decision: "I enter the main phase and Normal Summon a petal of Rokka!"

The little girl in pink and blue once again appeared on the duel field, stepping on the golden stamens.

"Activate the effect of One Petal of Rokka and add Rokka Snowdrop from your deck to your hand!"

"Immediately afterwards, I activate the effect of Rokkasei Snowdrop, releasing a petal of Rokka on the field and Special Summoning this card and a card from my hand!"

"Bring me victory! Six Flower Spirit Iron Chopsticks! Six Flower Spirit Snowdrop!"

As the blue-haired girl left the stage, the girls appeared on the stage calmly, holding crystal clear umbrellas that exuded a chill like ice crystals and lace.

"Pfft, should I say you're worthy of being a young duelist?" The woman couldn't help but chuckle, covering her mouth. "And 'bring me victory'? That's really killing me. Come on, if you're brave enough."

"I'll show you!" Xuefeng inserted a card into the Duel Disk, "I activate the magic card - Water World!"

"Increase the attack power of all water monsters on the field by 500 and decrease their defense power by 400!"

"Therefore, the attack power of Iron Chopsticks and Snowdrop on my field will become 3100 and 1700 respectively!"

"Oh, that's really amazing, you're so great." Although the woman said this, her dark green eyes revealed a hint of disdain.

Xuefeng frowned. This was the first time she faced such a sarcastic duelist in a duel. She didn't know how to refute him for a moment, so she simply shouted, "I enter the combat phase and use the iron chopsticks to attack the illusionary sound girl Alya!"

Tiechouzi waved his hand gently, and a beam of white light shot towards Alia on the opposite field. However, to Xuefeng's surprise, Alia was not only unharmed, but even smiled faintly at him.

"What's going on?" Xuefeng asked in confusion. "Iron Chopsticks' attack power should be higher than Aliya's defense power."

"So what if it has high attack power?" the woman rolled her eyes. "As long as the Special Summoned Alia is on the field, the Phantom Monsters I control can't be targeted by effects and can't be destroyed by battle. No matter how high your attack power is, it won't help."

"Snowdrop attacks Sonata, the music girl of Huanzou." Xuefeng tried again unwillingly.

However, like Aliya, Sonata also stood on the field unharmed.

"Useless, useless," the woman chuckled. "After all, a duel strategy like spiking attack power is something only a third-rate duelist like you would employ. And you're actually using a useless venue card like the Water World... You're truly 'cute.'"

"Water World is not a useless card!" Xuefeng retorted with a blushing face.

"It's up to you. With such low-level dueling thinking, your dueling career will be over in this life. It's better for me to end it here." The woman said lightly.

"Calm down! Don't let yourself be angered by this bad guy!" the duel elf behind him quickly reminded.

Xuefeng frowned slightly and continued, "I enter Main Phase 2, covering a card. This is the end of the turn."

There is no way. Although I am unwilling, I really cannot break through the opponent's defense now.

"In that case, it's my turn," the woman said, quickly drawing a card from her deck. "My turn, draw a card!"

"Hmm? Looks like I'm lucky," the woman said, inserting the card she just drew into the Duel Disk. "I enter the Main Phase and activate the Spell Card - Fusion!"

"Don't think about it!"

Xuefeng opened the face-up card he had prepared, "I activate the Counter Trap Card - Hay Fever, which releases the Six Flower Spirit Snowdrop on my field, negating it and destroying your fusion!"

Chapter 78: With your level, you still dare to stand in front of me?

"boom!"

As the hay fever took effect, Xuefeng suddenly felt her internal organs twitch violently, and then a sharp pain like a knife spread from the inside to the outside of her body, making her frown.

"Haha, I didn't expect that you can't even use the counterattack trap skillfully. How dare a duelist of your level jump out and ruin my good things?" The woman was a duel veteran after all. She could tell at a glance that Xuefeng was hit by the backlash of the trap card because his duel level was not enough.

"That's right, even so, I will stop you." Xuefeng was of course aware that he was not strong.

However, being weak is not a reason to escape.

On the contrary, the weaker you are, the less likely you are to compromise with yourself!

"You think that if you invalidate my 'Fusion', I won't be able to summon a Fusion Monster?" the woman said disdainfully. "How naive! Too naive! Fusion Monsters don't have to be summoned using 'Fusion' alone!"

The woman said, throwing the two monster cards on the Duel Disk into the Graveyard without hesitation, and slapped a monster in her hand on the Duel Disk: "I release the Phantom Music Maiden Alya and the Phantom Music Maiden Sonata on the field as a sacrifice, and Super Summon - Phantom Music Maiden Francois of Honor!"

The girl with green curly hair appeared elegantly on the stage in a purple dress. She used her slender and white fingers to deftly tap the black and white keyboard in front of her, producing bursts of beautiful melodies.

"Are you going to give up the defense you've already built so easily?!" Xuefeng was still thinking about how to break the opponent's defensive blockade, but he didn't expect that in just one round, the opponent would demolish the high wall he had built with his own hands.

"Because I don't need defense anymore," the woman said, raising her hand and activating the effects of monsters on the field. "I activate the effect of François of Honor. Once per turn, I add an Angel-Type monster from my Graveyard to my hand. I add Sonata to my hand, then activate Sonata's effect to Special Summon it back to the field!"

"Then I activate the Continuous Spell Card, Megatron. Activate Megatron's effect, send this card to the Graveyard, and activate it by sending the Fusion Material determined by the "Illusion" Fusion Monster Card from my field to the Graveyard, and then Special Summon that Fusion Monster!"

"They actually used a continuous magic card instead of fusion?!" Xuefeng was shocked again. This was the first time she saw a fusion summon without the magic card "Fusion".

"There are plenty of cards that can replace Fusion! But unfortunately, you'll never see them again!" the woman sneered. "I send the two monsters on the field to the Graveyard and Fusion Summon—Phantom of the Song of the Flower, Diva!"

François, who had just appeared on stage, stopped playing and left the stage sadly. Instead, a little girl with short pink-blue hair and a blue dress appeared in mid-air, with pink ribbons wrapped around her. She was like a fairy in mythology, standing on a delicate lotus platform and slowly descending from the sky.

"Attack power 1000, defense power 2000... A monster summoned with so many resources can't be so simple, it must have a powerful effect!" Xuefeng looked at the harmless little loli on the opponent's field, and his heart suddenly became alarmed.

"I enter the battle phase." The woman waved her hand, her scarlet eyes dilating like a hunter seeing its prey. "I use Flower Tiva to attack the Six Flower Spirit Iron Chopsticks!"

"As expected!" Xuefeng thought to himself. The difference in attack power between Iron Chopsticks and Flower Tiva was 3100. For the opponent to attack like this, there must be some special effect. Is it an attack bonus or...

"Oh!"

A strong impact was accompanied by a loud noise. Fortunately, Xuefeng was prepared and raised his arms to protect himself, but even so, he took a few steps back because of the impact.

"Ahem... What's going on?" Xuefeng looked at the Chopstick Spirit on the field who turned into fragments and entered the cemetery in confusion. He didn't know why his original LP of 4000 became 2400.

"Flower Tiva's effect can be activated only after this card and a Special Summoned monster battle. Inflict damage equal to the difference between the original attack power of this card and that of your opponent's monster, destroying it." The woman raised her head proudly. "Also, Flower Tiva cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects, and the battle damage inflicted to you by this card in battle becomes 0!"

"It will not be destroyed by battle or effects, its battle damage will be reduced to 0, and it can use effects to destroy the opponent's monster while inflicting effect damage at the same time..." Xuefeng's little face suddenly lost its color and she froze in place.

Although I was mentally prepared, this monster... is so strong. Among all the people I know, only Hara Nana's Crown Tiramisu can defeat this monster, right?

The woman looked at Xuefeng's pale face and raised her lips in satisfaction. "I'm covering a card. The turn is over. It's your turn."

"Wait, at the end of your turn, I will activate the effect of One Petal of the Graveyard Rokka. Since I have a Plant-Type monster on the field, this card will be Special Summoned." Xuefeng quickly reacted from his trance and slapped One Petal of the Graveyard Rokka on the field again.

"It's up to you. It's useless anyway." The woman said indifferently.

"Then, it's my turn, draw a card!"

Xuefeng looked expectantly at the card she had just drawn, hoping that it would be of some help to the current situation. However, what appeared in her hand was a magic card - Earthshatter.

As one of the few violent board-clearing cards in the Snow Wind deck, it seems so powerless in front of Flower Tiva.

"If, if I had come earlier..." Xuefeng sighed in frustration, but quickly shook his head and cheered up.

There is no point in complaining.

The most important thing now is to do what you can do well.

"I activate the effect of Rokka's Petal, adding Rokka's Snowdrop from my deck to my hand." Yukikaze added the second Snowdrop from her deck to her hand, then sent Rokka's Petal to the Graveyard again. "I Tribute Rokka's Petal on the field and Special Summon Snowdrop and Rokka's Cyclamen from my hand to the field in Defense Position."

"Then, I switch the Six Flower Spirit Snowdrop on the field to Defense Position. This round ends."

"Hahaha... No... You're being ridiculous!" The woman looked at the three monsters in Defense Mode on the Snow Wind Field and couldn't help but hold her stomach. "You don't think you can stop me just by being in Defense Mode, do you?"

"I told you the effects of Flower Tiva clearly, but I didn't expect you to not even understand this kind of thing?"

The woman placed her hand on the duel disk and couldn't help licking her lips with her pink tongue. "Let me tell you, in front of Flower Tiva, neither attack nor defense is useless!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

Chapter 79: It is impossible to reverse something with just one card.

"Haha, it seems that I am particularly lucky today." The woman looked at the card she drew, and the smile on her face became even more intense.

"I enter the main phase and Normal Summon Crystal Rose."

A crystal-like red rose appeared on the field with a hint of coldness.

"Isn't it 'Illusion'?" Xuefeng asked curiously. You know, for a deck with fields, it is best to invest cards in the same field, because cards in the same field can often work together to produce powerful effects.

"While it's not a Phantom now, it will soon become one." The woman snapped her fingers, then revealed the answer with the impatience of a magician. "I activate the effect of Crystal Rose. Once per turn, I send a Phantom from my deck to the Graveyard. Until the End Phase, this card is treated as if it has the same name as the monster sent to the Graveyard. I send the Phantom's Otome Tangtang from my deck to the Graveyard."

"But this will just become a mere 'illusion', right? What's the point?" Even though it was a life-and-death duel and he knew that his opponent was a mortal enemy, Xuefeng still couldn't help but ask.

"Don't you even know the simple concept of 'grave mounding'?" the woman said, opening her cover card.

"I activate the Trap Card - Battlefront Return, and Special Summon the Otoko of Phantom Orchestra from the Graveyard in Defense Position!"

The black-haired girl who had just entered the cemetery suddenly opened the coffin and appeared on the duel field.

"Then, I activate the effect of Phantom's Otome Tangtang. This can only be activated if there is a "Phantom" monster on my field and this card is successfully Special Summoned. Select 1 "Fusion" from your Deck or Graveyard and add it to your hand. I will add the "Fusion" from the Graveyard to my hand!" The woman said, and took the Spell Card "Fusion" from the Graveyard back to her hand.

"Are you planning to perform a fusion summon again?" Xuefeng frowned slightly, but this time she didn't have Hay Fever on the field, so she could only watch helplessly as her opponent launched his attack.

"I activate the Spell Card—Fusion!" The woman thrust it into the Duel Disk. "Send the two Phantom Music Maidens, Tangtang, to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon—Phantom Music Maiden, Master Schubert!"

Another fusion monster appeared in the women's field. Unlike the fairy-like Flower Tiwa, Schubert looked more like an elegant lady, wearing a fluffy red dress and black high heels. Her flaming long hair wavy behind her head, and the dagger in her hand added a bit of heroic spirit to her.

"It's not over yet. I activate the effect of Schubert, the Master of Illusionary Music! I banish one petal of the Rokka in your graveyard, the Rokka Spirit Iron Chopsticks, and the Fortissimo in my graveyard, and increase Schubert's attack power by 600!"

"Is the goal to cut off my endurance?" Xuefeng reluctantly sent a petal of Rikka and the iron chopsticks to the exclusion zone. However, before she could finish all this, another impact suddenly hit her.

"When the materials for the Fusion Summon of Phantom Otome Tangtang are sent to the Graveyard, you can activate this effect by targeting 1 "Phantom Otome" monster you control. That monster loses 500 ATK, inflict 500 damage to your opponent, and I choose Flower Tiva on my field and lose 500 ATK!"

"Well!"

Snow Wind: 2400 → 1900 lp

Although it was only a 500lp impact, it still made Xuefeng almost fall to the ground. However, the woman was not going to let Xuefeng go just like that. She continued to pursue, "I enter the combat phase. Use Flower Tiva to attack Snow Lotus! Schubert attacks the Six Flower Spirit Primrose!"

"Boom!" Xuefeng was blown away before he could stand firm, and came into close contact with the ground. His lp also dropped from 1900 to 1200.

"Whether it's attacking or defending, it's all useless... Is that what you mean?" Xuefeng gently wiped the dust off his cheeks with his hand, looked at the snow lotus on the field dissipating in the air, and slowly stood up from the ground.

"Even if you understand now, what can you do? Once you summon a monster, it will be destroyed by the effect of my Flower Tiva and take damage. If you don't summon a monster, you will have to face Schubert's direct attack!"

"I'll end my turn like this. It's your turn, young duelist~" the woman said jokingly. In her eyes, there was no suspense in this duel anymore.

Is it my turn yet?
