Why bother with the Holy Grail War? Let's play cards!

Jiang You instinctively caught the streak of light. He held the card representing Romulus Quirinus in his hand.

[Temporary card [Romulus Quirinus] has been obtained and can only be used in the current plot]

"Rome will be with you!" Romulus entrusted Jiang You with his greatest strength and the future of humanity. "Don't let the health gap widen too much. Pay attention to the number of cards on the field. The Beast has a trap card that destroys all cards, dealing a corresponding number of damage x 500. Don't take it lightly!"

In response to the reminder from the God Ancestor, Jiang You nodded, saying that this was indeed very important information.

"Hey, this is cheating, isn't it?" Seeing Jiang You obtain a powerful card and a level hint, Beast pouted and looked pitifully at the servants around him, "To be fair, how about you all support me a little?"

Naturally, no one responded. Beast muttered to himself in frustration and picked up his own card. The duel began!

Jiangyou LP4000

□□LP4000

"Well, since my opponent is my dear, I'm going to give it my all?" Beast addressed Jiang You with unusual familiarity, even skipping his job description. Koyanskaya's alluring voice was enough to make one's bones melt.

Jiang You, however, didn't react. His level of acceptance of monster girls probably stopped at the humanoid stage. Beast was really a bit of an overmodel at this stage, and he was even more curious about what kind of cards Beast would play.

"Well then, let's let our overworked Weber take the lead." Beast Normal Summoned the first Servant.

【Weber】Attack Power 500

Weber, covered in gray, appeared on the field, completely devoid of his previous composure. It seemed he had suffered a severe blow.

"Then I'm going to add this card, [King's Force]." Beast's purpose was clear. "I'm going to release Weber to Special Summon the King of Conquerors!"

【Iskander】Attack Power 2800

"Is this happening again?" Iskandar's expression turned grim upon discovering that it was Beast who summoned him again. "Even the King of Rome lost? This is bad news."

"Have some confidence in me, okay? Besides, the God Ancestor is not dead yet." Jiang You pointed at Romulus who was watching the battle on the side. Beast withdrew all her fighting power and looked like she was going to have a final battle. Although her words were still so frivolous, it was certain that she took this duel with Jiang You very seriously.

"Don't care about his opinion, dear. I have great confidence in you. So I activated the Field Spell Card [King's Army]." Beast summoned three servants at once.

Iskandar: Attack Power 2800 → 3800

[Macedonian Heavy Infantry] 2* Lancer Attack 1400 → 2400 x2

[Macedonian Light Infantry] 1-star Saber: Attack Power 1200 → 2200

Beast wasn't planning on relying on the King of Conquerors to build a defense, otherwise she wouldn't have left a single gap. "Next is this card, [Nega Self], which destroys all of our Servants on the field! There are four in total, so I draw four cards!"

Beast's hand is replenished to 6 cards

[Beast of Appreciation Derivative] Defense 1000*4

"It's not over yet. Because of the effect of [Beast IV Tail] in the Graveyard, I copied the Conqueror King's faceplate and Special Summoned him from the Graveyard!"

[Beast IV Tail] Attack Power 2800

If the defense of just five cards was too weak, Beast obviously wouldn't end his turn so easily. "It's not over yet! I banish all non-Beast Servants in the Graveyard and activate [Non-Primate Survival Circle]!"

The warm sunlight shines on the earth, and the world of birdsong and flowers covers the duel space covered with yellow sand. Unknown animals walk briskly through the woods, creating a scene full of vitality.

It’s just that this land does not welcome humans!

[Beast Derivative] Defense 1000 → 2000*4

Beast IV Tail: Attack Power 2800 → 3800

"Finally, I covered three cards in the backfield, ending my turn." Beast seemed relieved. She paused briefly and then smiled charmingly, pretending to be relaxed. "Dear, it's your turn now. Please don't have pity on me~"

Jiang You looked at the Beast situation and felt a bit awkward. This situation was a formidable barrier in the current meta. With 3800 attack points, only a top-ranked Romulus or Gilgamesh equipped with two or more Equipment Cards could directly break through. Furthermore, the fact that [Non-Primate Survival Zone] blocked the Special Moves of non-Beast Servants was somewhat annoying, not to mention the three unidentified face-down cards in the backfield.

Taking the card that Beast can use as a reference, there is a high probability that there is a [Chain of Heaven] in the backfield that can block the effect.

Jiang You shook his immediate worries out of his mind. Since he couldn't figure out how to break the deadlock, he might as well trust his next move. At worst, it would be a five-speed victory, and then he could just restart and play the next round.

Just as he was about to activate the destined draw, the moment he touched the deck at Jiang Youchu's place, a feeling of blessing surged from his fingers to his whole body.

The feeling was very subtle, as if something had responded to my call.

"It's my turn, draw a card!" Jiang You saw the card in his hand.

【Joan of Arc】

"That's amazing!" Jiang You praised Konami's effects, even going so far as to create positive feedback for a lucky draw. It truly was a groundbreaking game! "Goyanskaya, I'm going in! I activate [Unfulfilled Promise] to add a [City of Snow] card to my hand!"

"Then I activate [Tainted Greater Holy Grail] from my hand! Banish an Einzbern Servant from the Graveyard and activate it on the field!"

A pitch-black hole appeared in the sky, and malicious black mud continued to flow out of the hole, polluting the earth.

[Beast Derivative] Defense 2000 → 0*4

Beast IV Tail: Attack Power 2800 → 1800

Because of the anti-war bonus effect of the Black Holy Grail pollution, Beast's frontcourt values ​​dropped directly to freezing point.

"My dear, you're really scary." Beast wiped away nonexistent tears. "Are you going to use force to break through my defenses? Please be gentle."

Jiang You didn't listen at all. He was ready to explode. "The Black Holy Grail is also the Holy Grail. I activate the effect of my hand card, [Joan of Arc]! Saint, bloom like a red lotus!"

This is my first time writing a novel and I am very grateful to all the readers for their support. Regardless of whether you will continue to subscribe or not, I am grateful that you have read this far.

Before I knew it, it was about to be put on the shelves. Due to lack of experience, I missed the important 30,000-word test run, resulting in it being put on the shelves right after the test run. To be honest, I didn't react in time.

Actually, when I first came up with the idea of ​​combining Yu-Gi-Oh and Fate, I was quite complacent. However, after reading the readers' comments, I found that someone had indeed written about this subject. I somewhat underestimated the authors' imagination. I deserve to be punished!

As for the plot, as you can see, it's largely unrefined, as the main character's appearance would disrupt the rules. Special characters have already been planned for the locations confirmed for the game. Of course, the previously unseen Moyi won't be left out (the card design is very simple, and Illya is a true whiz). Yoran, who can accelerate synchronization, is also a must-see.

If the opposing parties have servants with grudges against each other, a battle will definitely be arranged, and a grudge game is essential.

The first volume has come to an end, and each subsequent volume will slowly unfold the protagonist's own cards (the kind that will be banned).

In the second volume, you can guess who the Master is, but it's definitely not Illya! (So who will Illya summon if she uses herself as a relic?)

Moreover, Shirou, the master of the fifth battle, and Rin's decks will basically summon people from the fourth battle (Emiya Kiritsugu: Shirou, who?), so it will probably be very chaotic and the atmosphere will be relatively relaxed.

Since I'm a new author and have almost no manuscripts in stock, I won't offer a reward on the first day of the release. I will post the few chapters I have prepared on the first day, without holding back any. After that, the daily update will still be the basic 6K. If you find it interesting, please subscribe and support it.

It would be great if this book could make you smile at any time, and I would feel extremely honored.

If this one doesn't appeal to you, I hope my next novel will be interesting to you. I'll keep working on it!

Finally, thank you again!

Chapter 57 Self-Destruct, Ruler

The white saint descended in the light of heaven.

[Joan of Arc] Attack power 2500

"Joan of Arc has come at the call, Lady Caster." Joan of Arc turned and bowed to Jiang You, then pointed her holy banner at the Beast. "Enemy of mankind! I will fulfill my duty as a divine messenger and annihilate you!"

Beast's face didn't look good. Although she had never seen the effect of Jeanne d'Arc from the memories of the servants she devoured, she could understand Jiang You's expression.

"Joan of Arc, let's save the world together! Activate the Crimson Saintess! [Joan of Arc] effect, release her—" Jiang You issued the command following Joan of Arc's words.

"As you wish, Your Excellency." Joan of Arc drew her sword, which she never drew from its sheath. Flames erupted from the blade, quickly engulfing her like a burning red lotus, both magnificent and tragic. "My Lord, I entrust myself to you—"

"My dear, you're so cruel! You let another woman wipe out all my savings (and board state). I'm so heartbroken. Since that's the case, why don't you come with me to the underworld?" Beast resolutely revealed his face-down card, "[Tunguska Explosion] Effect: Destroy all cards on the board! Eleven cards on the board, totaling 5500 damage!"

"What destruction wheel?" Jiang You was startled by Beast's sudden self-destruction, but he didn't dare gamble on whether his opponent had any cards that could negate damage. "I chain [Intelligence Gathering] to negate and destroy your [Tunguska Explosion]!"

The huge meteorite disappeared into thin air.

Then, Joan of Arc's effect took effect, and a huge red lotus bloomed where she was, and the holy flames burned everything to ashes.

"Then, because the Trap Card [Beast IV Tail] Unit 2 was destroyed by Jeanne, it copied Jeanne's panel into the Graveyard and returned to the field."

After collecting a Beast IV Tail, another one popped out from the Beast Graveyard, this one transformed into Jeanne d'Arc. Beast had even, with a touch of wicked humor, dyed her armor black, but her hair remained in a village girl's braid.

[Beast IV's Tail] Defense 3000

"Then I will Normal Summon [Hundred Faces] from my hand."

[Hundred Appearances] 2-Star Assassin, Attack Power 800

The card "Hundred Faces" made its first appearance on the field. This was the woman whose mask Jiang You had stolen. After Jiang You designated her as the original form, the card was fixed to her. Jiang You nodded to her: "When this card is summoned, you can Special Summon any number of cards with the same name from your Deck to the field!"

Two Hundred Faces and one brown-skinned loli appeared in the battle area.

[Morning Glory] 1-Star Assassin, Attack Power 0

This is one of Hassan's personalities, a naive little girl who makes the story a little lighter. She's a speechless young girl with no memories. When captured and tortured by the enemy, Hassan reveals this personality to keep a secret. She looks around fearfully, as if she's about to cry.

"Then, the summoning conditions are any two or more 2-star Assassins! I stack three [Hundred Faces] here, constantly honing the skills of others, but unable to find my truest self, I over-summon [Fanatical]!"

A servant who looked like a girl next door without a mask emerged in the light. She put on a veil as soon as she landed, and then looked around in confusion.

Hyakko-senpai was quickly spotted by Kyoshino as he returned to his spectator position. "Hyakko-senpai?! This is... the Holy Grail War. Senpai, you were indeed tempted by the Holy Grail... no, it's different."

Because the Assassins in the Holy Grail War are almost always the "Old Man of the Mountain", Fantasy has always believed that it was the Holy Grail that seduced the Hassans, so she hates the Holy Grail War.

"Kyōshiki, I no longer need to pursue the Holy Grail." Hyakuma shook his head, placed his hand on his chest, and answered sincerely, "I have met a Master for whom I would give everything. He stabilized my mind with Command Seals. My wish has been fulfilled, and now I am following him to fight against the enemies of humanity. Please lend us your help!"

Fanatic looked at Jiang You with gratitude, but soon her eyes turned cold. She saw through Jiang You's identity as a Heroic Spirit and knew that he had also manifested for the Holy Grail. Perhaps he had a hidden secret in helping Baimao.

But the enemy opposite her made her even more uneasy. "I understand, the enemy of humanity, is it? I will crush it! Servant, give the order!"

"[Fanatical]'s effect: Each excess material increases attack power by 500 points!"

【Kuangxinzi】 Attack power 1000 → 2500

"Then I will remove an Xyz Material, at the cost of [Fanatical] being unable to attack this turn, and choose a Servant on the field to destroy! Delusional Heart Sound!"

The treasure belonging to Hassan the Cursed Arm, which was understood by Keiko in her own way, was used. A twisted palm sprang out from the cloak behind Keiko and directly grabbed "Joan of Arc".

Joan of Arc's heart was torn out like this and exploded into a bloody mist under the grip of the palm.

【Kyōshiko】2500→2000
