A duelist never gives up!

"Tsk...what a hassle." The tall girl curled her lips and said helplessly.

While they were talking, Julie continued to move her hands:

"I usually summon the Flower of Growth." Julie patted the monster in her hand on the duel disk and said.

"Next, since the Growing Flower is a Tuner Monster, I will Tune the Growing Flower and Jack Pumpkin on the field and Synchro Summon—Giant Skeleton Dragon Shine!"

The copper-yellow dragon swayed its huge body and appeared on the street, but because the space on the street was too small, it had to shrink its body appropriately.

"Is this the monster you prepared for this competition?" Nero asked curiously behind Julie.

"The dean prepared it for me. He said my deck is too weak without a qualified terminal." Julie said with a frown on her face. Although she was very grateful to the dean for giving her the rare Synchro Monster, the dean's words were a bit too... blunt.

At that time, the dean called me into his office and said something inexplicably: "Your deck system is too scattered, too little functionality, the terminal is substandard, and so on and so forth. He almost said that his deck was a pile of cards.

If the dean hadn't given her this Synchro Monster and three Shiranui's Hermits in the end, Julie would have suspected that the dean was bored and wanted to entertain her.

Although as a teacher, there is no need for him to find fault with his student.

"I continue to activate the effect of the flower growing in the graveyard, adding the giant ghoul Magera to my hand, and then I cover a card, and the turn ends." Julie inserted the card in her hand into the duel board.

"My turn, draw a card."

As soon as Julie finished her turn, the tall girl drew a card from her deck without hesitation. "I enter the Main Phase. I activate the effect of Atlantis Warrior in my hand, discard this card from my hand, and add Legendary City of Atlantis from my deck to my hand."

"Atlantis... is it the same attribute or race as me?" Julie couldn't help but guess when she saw this scene.

"I activate the Field Magic Card - the legendary city of Atlantis." The tall girl inserted the Atlantis she had just retrieved into the duel disk.

As Atlantis was inserted into the duel disk, the area on the tall girl's side that was originally shrouded by the undead world was suddenly covered by the blue ocean, and those shops turned into ancient ruins.

"Can you let go now?" the tall girl said, squinting her eyes at the short girl who was hugging her calf.

"No, no!" The short girl shook her head like a rattle and pointed behind Julie. "I'm scared when I see the scene across the street."

"Then don't look at it!" the tall girl said impatiently.

"I have to pay attention to your duel all the time. If you encounter any crisis, I can give you some advice!" The short girl said as a matter of course.

"hehe."

The tall girl didn't bother to pay attention to her and continued, "I activate the Spell Card Foolish Sub-Burial and send the Trap Card Ice Barrier from the Deck to the Graveyard."

"I then activate the effect of Ice Barrier, banishing this card from the Graveyard, sending a Level 5 or higher Water monster from my Deck to the Graveyard, and then adding a Water monster from the Graveyard to my hand."

"I sent Sea Dragon God Leviathan from my deck to the Graveyard, then added it to my hand," the tall girl said, returning Leviathan from the Graveyard to her hand. "Because of Atlantis's effect, the Level of Water monsters in both players' hands and on the field decreased by one, so Leviathan's star rating went from five to four."

"So, I just Normal Summon Leviathan."

The deep blue sea monster let out a strange roar, and its body, like a giant snake, kept swaying. Although it had no eyes, it accurately showed its sharp fangs towards Julie.

"I activate the effect of Leviathan."

"You can only activate this card during your Main Phase. Add any one of the following cards from your deck to your hand.

●「海」

●"Sea Dragon God" Magic and Trap Card

●"Under the Sea" Magic Trap Card

Chapter 20: Isn’t this a duelist’s job?

"I'm adding Undersea Assault from my deck to my hand," the tall girl said, adding a Trap Card to her hand and then covering two cards. "This is the end of my turn."

"My turn, draw a card."

"Oh right," the tall girl kindly reminded Julie right after she finished drawing the card. "The effect of Sea Dragon God Leviathan is that as long as there's a 'Sea' monster on the field, each team can only have one face-up monster other than Water."

"That is, you can only have one face-up monster on the field."

"Isn't it enough to just remove the Leviathan on your board?" Julie said, waving her hand. "I'm entering the combat phase. Gigantosaurus will use Shining to attack the Leviathan."

"Chain!" The tall girl looked at the menacing dragon and opened her own face-up card from last turn without hesitation. "I activate Undersea Assault. Then, due to its effect: At the beginning of the Damage Step, when one of your Water monsters originally level 5 or higher battles an opponent's monster, activate this. That opponent's monster is destroyed, so destroy the Gigantoskeletal Dragon Shining on your field."

However, Julie had anticipated this situation.

"I activate the effect of Giant Ghoul Magera in my hand. If an Undead-Type monster on my side of the field is destroyed by battle or card effect, I can banish this card from my hand or Graveyard as a replacement."

"bump!"

The huge dragon claws tore apart Leviathan's blue body, and the accompanying impact sound knocked the tall girl and the short girl flying onto the cold floor.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, it seemed as if something was thrown heavily to the ground.

"Ah! My phone!" The short girl said heartbrokenly as she pulled out the pink phone with a cracked screen from her pocket. Then she pouted and pointed at the tall girl, "How did she get hit by your attack?"

The tall girl pulled out a similarly damaged blue phone from her pocket and said coldly, "If you hadn't been clinging to me, I wouldn't have fallen to the ground with this little impact."

"Hmm..." The short girl lowered her head guiltily and muttered softly, "Okay, okay, it's my fault, okay... I'll compensate you later..."

"It's good to know whose problem it is." The tall girl said, throwing the phone to the ground, looking at Julie and said, "Go on."

"I won't stop until you tell me to." Julie slapped the monster she had just drawn onto the Duel Board and said, "I Normal Summon a Chorus Zombie."

Two zombies, one fat and one thin, appeared on the duel arena with their arms around each other.

"I activate the effect of the Chorus Zombie. First, I discard a card from my hand and increase my star level by 1." Julie said, sending her last card in her hand - the Horse-Headed Ghost - to the cemetery.

In this way, even if your monster is destroyed, you can use the horse-headed ghost to revive it.

"I then activate the effect of Chorus Zombie, sending the Growing Flower from the deck to the Graveyard, increasing its star rating by 1. I then banish the Growing Flower and Special Summon the second Jack Pumpkin from the deck!"

"5+7...are you ready to summon 12-star Synchro Monsters?"

The tall girl looked warily at the two monsters on Julie's field. However, Julie did not proceed to the next move. Instead, she said, "I'm ending my turn. It's your turn."

"Out of tune... Is it just to summon a monster?" The tall girl frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.

In that case... I will win this duel!

"My turn, draw a card." The tall girl said, and suddenly pulled a card from the deck.

"I enter the Main Phase and activate Pot of Lust and Gold, banishing six additional cards and drawing two from my deck." The tall girl drew two cards and then inserted another card into the Duel Board. "I activate the Spell Card Foolish Sub-Burial, sending Ice Barrier to the Graveyard again. Then, I banish Ice Barrier, send Great Fortress Whale to the Graveyard, and add Great Fortress Whale to my hand."

"Then, I activate the effect of Icewater Tremolite, send this card to the Graveyard, and Special Summon Grand Fortress Whale from my hand.

A ship appeared on the duel field, but due to the venue, it was forced to float in the wider sky, forcing the onlookers to look up at it.

"Next, I usually summon the warriors of Atlantis."

[Atlantis Warrior ATK/1900 DEF/1200.]

The tall girl looked at the two monsters on her field, and a beautiful curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The effect of Grand Fortress Whale can only be activated when "Sea" is on the field. During this turn, your Water monsters can attack directly. This effect is amazing in the 4000 Lp rule, and I don't know how many people have lost because of it.

And soon, there will be one more person defeated by this effect.

"I enter the combat phase..."

"Wait! Before your Main Phase ends, I'm chain-activating!" Julie suddenly said. "I'm activating Jack Pumpkin's effect to Special Summon the Icewater Tremolite from your Graveyard to my field. After that, banish Jack Pumpkin face-up."

"It doesn't matter." The tall girl said lightly. Even if Julie had more monsters on the field, it would be useless in the face of the effect of direct attack. The girl began to imagine the scene of Julie being defeated and falling to the ground.

That must be very interesting.

"It's not over yet." Julie's cold voice came again.

"When a monster from the Graveyard is Special Summoned onto the field, I activate the effect of Megaskeletalon's Shine to negate the effect of Megaskeletalon on your field."

"?!"

The tall girl's pupils suddenly shrank, and she said in disbelief, "You... know the effect of the Great Fortress Whale?!"

"The Grand Fortress Whale is a monster recorded in the Duelist League. Anyone can find it if they are interested. Why don't I know the effect of the Grand Fortress Whale?" Julie glanced at the tall girl in surprise and said as a matter of course.

"Impossible... You must have found out my deck information in advance..." The tall girl shook her head and kept denying it.

"It's even weirder not knowing," Julie said, narrowing her eyes. "I can't guarantee I've memorized every monster in the League's records, but as a Duelist, isn't it normal to memorize the effects of monsters you don't know?"

"Tsk." The tall girl clicked her lips in dissatisfaction, but did not refute.

Julie's words make sense.

If I refute it, I will probably become a laughing stock in the duelist circle tomorrow.

Then, the tall girl took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and continued, "I'm entering the combat phase. The Great Fortress Whale is attacking..."

"Shiratori Nozomi, what are you doing?! Why don't you get back to the arena?!"

Chapter 21: My body is rebelling against me!

The tall girl's arms stiffened slightly. She turned around to follow the sound and saw her teacher, a rather youthful-looking young woman, rushing towards her impatiently on a motorcycle.

"Teacher...what's wrong?" The tall girl, Shiratori Nozomi, asked curiously.

The teacher parked his motorcycle in front of the tall girl and shouted at her in a stern voice, "Ryan lost! Come up and play the second round with me!"

"Senior Ryan lost? Teacher, are you drunk? How could he lose?" Shiratori Nozomi didn't believe that Ryan would lose to that unknown team.

"Ryan called me personally to tell me, how could he be wrong?!" the teacher said impatiently, "Come with me quickly, in a few minutes it will be too late!"

"But I'm still dueling... Let Airi go first." Shiratori Nozomi pointed at Airi who was squatting on the ground with a dull look in her eyes.

"If you don't want to leave the capital tonight, both of you will come with me!!!" The teacher couldn't help but yell. If there weren't so many onlookers around, she would have burst out laughing.

"Senior... let's hurry up! If we really can't catch up... our National College Competition will be doomed!" Ai Li quickly got on the motorcycle and hugged the teacher's back.

Shiratori Nozomi looked at Julie standing opposite with an expressionless face, hesitated for a moment, put away the duel disk and said, "Let's end this duel here. I won't let you go so easily next time we meet!"

After saying that, he got on the motorcycle and disappeared into the night market with the sound of the engine.

With the end of the duel, the various special effects produced by the field magic cards disappeared into the air, and the warm yellow lights lit up again, bringing the night market back to a warm and cheerful atmosphere.

"I remember... the party who voluntarily withdraws from the duel will be declared the loser, right?" Nero suddenly said.

Julie put away the duel disk and said calmly, "It doesn't matter. However... that Ryan player lost... and needs someone to replace him..."

"Are these guys going to skip the game and go to the night market?"

At the same time, the countdown on the field was only three minutes left.

"There are three minutes left. If Iron Thorn Academy hasn't sent a player onto the field, they will be eliminated!"

Ah Xing, who was standing on the court, took the water and instant food given to her by her teammates and stuffed them into her mouth voraciously.

"Captain, slow down a bit. If we can hold on for another three minutes, we'll win!"

The teammates in the audience encouraged.

"Um……"

Ah Xing said weakly.

Let alone three minutes, he felt it wouldn't be surprising if he suddenly collapsed in the next second.

Although the super magician had been put away because of the duel, he was exhausted from fighting the powerful mental pressure before. His whole body felt as cold as if he was shirtless in the winter.

"Two minutes left!!! If the Iron Thorn Academy players don't take the stage within two minutes, this match is over!"

Beishan Heng, who was already sitting in the rest area, turned his eyes away from the entrance. To be honest, he no longer expected his teammates to arrive in time.

"One more minute! One more minute!!!"

The commentator's voice sounded again. Ah Xing gritted her teeth and stared at the pit of the stadium. At this moment, she couldn't help but start praying in her heart.

God of Duels, if you have mercy.

If you are fair-minded.

So please help me, please help me win this game, after that, I'm willing to pay any price!
