Want to play cards? I'll use my King's Deck!

"That's why!"

Yuki, having replenished her deck with cards, played another card from her hand.

That was the card I got during my last duel with Grafa, and I never had the chance to return it.

"Continuous Spell activated: 'Card of Survival'! As long as this card is on the field, whenever a monster is resurrected from my Graveyard, I can draw 1 card. Preparation complete—'Giant Warrior' attacks 'Chaos Dragon - Chaos Ruler'! [Giant Fist]!"

The declaration suddenly entered the battle phase, and the gray-white giant leaped high into the air, swinging his fists as he charged towards the pitch-black dragon.

The latter emitted a dragon's breath rich in chaotic energy, which incinerated the former.

[Yu Xi's LP: 8000 → 7900]

The 100 life points were deducted from Yu Xi's base score, causing him no real pain. The next moment, the "Giant Warrior," which should have been destroyed by the "Chaos Dragon," solidified again on Yu Xi's field.

"The effect of 'Giant Warrior' activates! When it is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 Warrior-Type monster from either player's Graveyard to my field. This effect can also target itself; I revive 'Giant Warrior'. Then, the effect of 'Fragment of Survival' activates, and I draw 1 card from my Deck."

"This is……!"

Princess Blue's eyes widened as she suddenly realized that something extremely ominous was about to happen.

"The effect of 'Giant Warrior' is the same as 'Fragment of Survival,' with no limit of once per turn. As long as I have enough Life Points, I can revive 'Giant Warrior' indefinitely and draw cards an unlimited number of times."

Of course, neither Yuki's LP nor his deck can sustain unlimited card draw. However, he doesn't need to go that far. Trading 100 LP for one card is enough for Yuki to draw all the cards in his deck. At that point, he will have an absolute advantage in card resources over the Blue Princess, and with his entire deck, victory will be almost inevitable.

"I'll use 'Giant Warrior' again to attack 'Chaos Dragon - Chaos Ruler'!"

Yu Xi resorted to his old tricks again, once again having the "Giant Warriors" launch a suicide attack.

This time, however, the Blue Princess could not remain indifferent.

"Don't even think about it! Activate the Trap Card: 'Attack Lure Armor'!!"

The card is activated, revealing a set of cursed armor worn by a human, radiating deep malice.

Yuuki recognized this card; it's one of the traps Seto Kaiba often used in the anime.

However, in this world, it has already been replicated several times by the Seahorse Company under the name of the Seahorse people's card, making it a versatile card that combines collection and practical value.

"Are you planning to use 'Attack-Inducing Armor' to destroy 'Giant Warrior'?"

Unlike the anime version, this world's "Attack-Inducing Armor" has two effects, similar to the OCG version. The first effect can be used as "Explosive Armor." If "Giant Warrior" is blown up, it can indeed stop Yuki's infinite card-drawing combo.

"You guessed wrong, I want to use the second effect!"

However, the Blue Princess made a choice that contradicted Yu Xi's prediction.

"Select 'Decoy Dragon' to transfer the 'Giant Warrior's' attacks to 'Decoy Dragon'!"

As soon as the words fell, the cursed armor was simultaneously placed on the small body of the "Decoy Dragon." Attracted by the invisible aura of mockery, the "Giant Warrior's" fist smashed down on the "Decoy Dragon."

At the same time, the "bait dragon" also let out a panicked cry, a signal to the large dragon for help.

"If 'Decoy Dragon' becomes the target of an opponent's monster's attack, its effect activates! I can Special Summon 1 Level 7 or higher Dragon-Type monster from my Graveyard and use it to take the attack instead."

"—What I want to resurrect is 'Giant Dragon Shining'!"

"The Glittering Dragon? That won't do!"

A card flashed through his mind, and Yu Xi immediately drew one of his cards and slammed it down.

"Borrowing the effect of 'Decoy Dragon,' I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card: 'Spell Card [Monster Resurrection]'! Using this card's effect, Special Summon 1 monster from both players' Graveyards. The one I'm reviving is 'Giant Dragon Shining,' the target of 'Decoy Dragon'!"

"What!?"

The Blue Princess was stunned. She saw golden light shoot out from the cracked earth, and a giant dragon, its body gleaming with golden light and incomparably holy, roared out.

But it didn't land on her field; instead, it flew in Youxi's sky.

"Giant Dragon Shining, Level 8/Light/Dragon" "ATK: 2800/DEF: 2800"

"Damn it! They stole my monster! How despicable!"

"There's no other way; this monster is a bit dangerous after all."

Facing the blue princess's clenched-teeth gaze, Youxi said innocently.

When "Giant Dragon Shining" is resurrected from the Graveyard, it banishes 1 monster card from your opponent's field or Graveyard to increase its ATK. If "Giant Warrior" is banished, that would be troublesome.

Fortunately, the "Magic Card [Monster Resurrection]", which was originally intended to deal with destruction, could also be used to deal with this situation, thus avoiding the worst possible outcome.

"Because the number of monsters on your field has not changed, the attack does not revert, 'Giant Warrior' continues its attack, destroying 'Decoy Dragon'!"

Iron fist sanctions.

Without the protection of the giant dragon, the young dragon was mercilessly smashed away by the "Giant Warrior," completely ending the Blue Princess's possibility of using this card to infinitely revive high-level dragons.

"But this means your infinite combo between 'Giant Warrior' and 'Survival Card' can't continue! 'Giant Dragon's Gaze' and 'Stardust Charged Warrior' also can't get past 'Chaos Dragon.'"

The blue princess reminded her, and she breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Phew—that was close.

She almost lost the game; if she had actually drawn her entire deck, she would have been out of the game.

"Then let's move on to main phase 2."

Yu Xi glanced at his hand, pondered for a few seconds, then waved his hand and said, "Since I know what's in your graveyard, let's do it this way. I'll combine the Light attribute's 'Giant Dragon's Glow' and 'Stardust Charged Warrior' circuits to summon L-ink2, 'Radiant Light Spirit Lena'!"

"Lena, the Radiant Spirit Master, L-ink2/Light/Mage" "↙↘, ATK: 1850"

"Two monsters, including those with the Light attribute"

The portal opened, and a white-haired girl appeared, holding a staff that shimmered with mirror-like light, her beautiful face filled with fighting spirit.

This is the third "Spirit Envoy" series Link Monster used by Yuuki, and its effects are similar to its sisters. She is a master of Minotaur, and her defense range is Light attribute.

As a new Link Monster appeared on Yuki's field, the Blue Princess also started to move.

"The effect of 'Phantom Dragon: Fantasy Dragon God' in my hand activates!"

[This effect can only be activated if your opponent successfully Special Summons a Link Monster. Special Summon this card from your hand. Then, draw 1 more Link Monster than your opponent controls from your Deck, and return 1 card from your hand to your Deck equal to the number of Link Monsters your opponent controls.]

"Appear, 'Phantom Dragon, Fantasy Dragon, Human God'!"

"Fantasy Dragon God, Level 7/Dark/Dragon" "ATK: 2400/DEF: 1800"

With blue flames shooting from its back, the deep blue dragonman, a blend of science fiction and fantasy, flew out and stood on the beach.

"Then, based on the effect of 'Fantasy Dragon God,' I draw 2 cards from my deck and return 1 card to the deck."

"Is this guy really using a 'Holy Chronicle' deck?"

Yu Xi felt a little puzzled. In a normal "Holy Engraving" deck, there wouldn't be so many redundant and useless pieces, although he didn't really have the right to say that to others.

“Continue activating the effect of 'Radiant Light Spirit',” Yu Xi said. “Special Summon 'Giant Dragon' from your Graveyard in Defense Position in its Link Zone.”

Shining with golden light, the golden dragon, which had once been its connecting material, was resurrected amidst the prayers of the Lightbringer and unleashed its true power.

"Because it has left the field once, 'Giant Dragon' is no longer restricted by the 'Spell Card [Monster Resurrection]'. Activate its effect! Banish 'Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon' from your Graveyard!"

Yuki originally wanted to exclude "Chaos Dragon", but he vaguely remembered that "Fantasy Dragon God" seemed to have the effect of targeting, so he decided to replace it with another threatening monster as an alternative.

"The attack power of 'Giant Dragon Shining' increases by 100 points (the level or rank of the banished monster). 'Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon' is level 10, therefore its attack power increases by 1000 points."

"Giant Dragon Shines, ATK: 2800 → 3800"

"I'll set two more cards face down, then the turn ends."

After setting all his cards to the back row, Yu Xi announced a rotation. Compared to the previous round, his board was much weaker, but his opponent wasn't much better off.

"My turn!"

The Blue Princess draws a card from her deck, restoring her hand to 5 cards.

The duel has progressed to this point, and neither side's LP value has decreased much, but it's uncertain whether it will decrease further.

"Normal Summon 'Infernal Guardian Dragon,' then Synchro Summon 'Infernal Guardian Dragon' with 'Fantasy Dragon God' (Level 7). Dark Dragon King, descend here! Annihilate my enemies! Synchro Summon, Level 8, 'Dark Terminator Dragon'!"

"Dark End Dragon, Level 8/Dark/Dragon/Synchro" "ATK: 2600/DEF: 2100"

"One or more DARK monsters (excluding Tuners)"

A black dragon with cone-shaped horns growing from both sides of its head emerged from the synchronized light, its demonic face on its chest grotesque and terrifying.

"That 'Giant Warrior' can revive when destroyed in battle, right? Then that won't work! 'Dark Annihilation Dragon's' effect activates: Once per turn, decreases ATK and DEF by 500, and sends 1 monster your opponent controls to the Graveyard. Dark Annihilation!"

The black shadow spread out, transforming into sharp claws that grabbed the body of "Giant Warrior" and dragged it into the graveyard—this is a removal effect that is essentially a graveyard removal, and even if "Giant Warrior" has true destruction resistance, it is of no use.

"Then, use the two Rank 8 monsters on the field to create a super-powerful Xyz Summon, Rank 8, 'Sacred Dragon - Nine Divine Dragons'!!"

Chapter 128 Kuriboh Victims Association Members +1

The unique nebula vortex of the Super Quantity unfolded, and the two dark dragon souls entered, bursting out with extremely dazzling brilliance.

A colossal crimson dragon, its wings radiating golden-red particles, soared into the battlefield with a thunderous roar.

This is the Xyz Monster of the "Holy Crescent" family, a being that combines magnificence and power.

"Sacred Dragon - Nine Divine Dragons, Rank 8/Light/Dragon/Xyz" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 2400"

"2 x 8-Star Monsters"

"Let's use this card to wipe out everything in your path! The effect of 'Sacred Dragon - Nine Divine Dragons' is activated!"

[Once per turn, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to activate this effect. Tribute any number of monsters in your hand or on the field, and destroy cards on the field equal to the number of monsters you tributed.]

The most obvious effect is the field-shattering effect in conjunction with "Holy Chronicle". While blasting the entire field, it can also further trigger the archetype's combo, making it a decent card in the archetype, although it's not commonly included in the archetype in general.

However, the threat posed by the card to Yu Xi is real, and he cannot allow it to pass.

"Chain activation of the Trap Card: 'Illusionary Curse'!"
