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

Two feathers fell from the "Blackwing Assault Dragon" and flew towards Yu Xi like arrows, reducing his health to 4400.

"Then, use the 3-star 'Gale of Gale' to level up the three 1-star Kuriboh brothers. Demon Thunder, now gain Synchro power to evolve! Synchro Summon, 'Demon Summon'!"

"Summon Demon, Level 6/Dark/Demon" "ATK: 2500/DEF: 1200"

After Xyz and Link, the light of the Synchro Summon bloomed before Yuuki. This time, there wasn't a particularly strong Feel fluctuation; what emerged from it was a pale demon. It was the Synchro Monster card that Yuuki had created herself after so much fighting.

"As long as 'Summoning Demons' is on the field, its card name is treated as 'Summoning Demons,' and 'Summoning Demons' cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects. Go! 'Summoning Demons' attacks 'Blackwing Assault Dragon'!"

With a wave of his hand, Yu Xi entered battle mode. As soon as he gave the order, "Summon the Demon" raised its hand in unison, and lightning from hell was about to strike the target.

"We can't win if we do it this way, Yuki."

Logan chuckled and pressed the face-down button on his Duel Disk: "I activate a Continuous Trap: Synchro Zone! As long as this card is on the field, neither player can declare an attack unless it is a Synchro Monster."

"However, 'Summon Demon' is a Synchro Monster and is not affected by this effect!"

"That's right, so the key point is its second effect—when a Synchro Monster other than a Tuner is sent to my Graveyard, I Special Summon that monster to my field and treat it as a Tuner."

"!"

The lightning bolt struck down, hitting the "Blackwing Assault Dragon" squarely on the head and pulverizing it.

But the next second, the "Blackwing Assault Dragon" was resurrected.

Its weakened state by "Gale of the Gale" was refreshed, and it suffered no losses except for losing the Black Feather counter and a little LP. Yuki's hard work was all for nothing, and she was back to square one.

Logan LP: 7400 → 6500

"Ah! We failed, what a pity!"

"What a pity, Yuki."

Xingye Wu's voice was dejected. Logan wagged his finger at Youxi and laughed, "You were probably thinking of forcing me to use the other effect of 'Blackwing Assault Dragon,' or at least to eliminate my 'Blackwing Assault Dragon,' to pave the way for later developments, right? But in the end, I was still one step ahead."

"You've been seen through."

"Blackwing Assault Dragon" can release itself during the opponent's turn after having 4 or more Blackwing Counters, thereby destroying all cards on the field. This is also why Yuki chose to summon "Summoning Demon" and "Dark Spirit of Shadows" - both of these monsters have a Last Word effect, which can maximize the recovery from the loss of the field being destroyed.

On the other hand, Logan has a lot of resources in both the front and back lines. If he dares to create a game-changing effect, that would be exactly what You Xi wants.

But Logan was clearly not that stupid.

"It's okay, Xiaoxi."

Xingyewu comforted Youxi, saying, "So what if you failed? I'm here for you. I'll definitely help you get revenge!"

"No, I'm not really bothered by it," Yuki shook her head. "Although I failed, I still achieved one goal. 'Blackwing Assault Dragon's' status has been refreshed, so I don't have to worry about being suddenly attacked by it anymore. Main Phase 2, I set 5 cards in my back row, End of turn!"

"Good guy..."

As Yuxi stuffed all his cards into the back row of the Duel Disk, one after another, those extremely intimidating cards appeared at his feet, Logan's originally smug expression couldn't help but stiffen slightly.

No wonder Yu Xi's development in this round was only this limited; it turns out it wasn't that she didn't want to do better, but rather that she simply wasn't allowed to.

The intimidation posed by these five face-down cards is far more terrifying than his Synchro Monsters.

"But that's not enough to scare me. During my turn, because of the effect of 'Tearing Time's Eye,' I normally draw two cards from my deck. Then I activate the Continuous Spell: 'Royal Temple.' As long as this card is on the field, one of my Set Trap Cards can be activated the same turn it's placed."

Logan put two cards into the Duel Disk: one was a giant temple-like spell that looked even better with Yuki, and the other was a trap from the "Black Feather" family.

"Activate Trap Card: 'Triangle Raven Formation - Anti-Ambush'! If you control a 'Blackwing' monster, destroy all Set Spell/Trap Cards your opponent sets!"

Chapter 135: A New Method for Obtaining Bull Cards! (Bonus Chapter of 3 Words)

What Logan wielded was the "Harpie's Feather Duster," a true creation of the "Black Feather" family.

While the destruction range is somewhat limited, it can be activated from the hand when you only have three "Blackwing" monsters on your field. Its speed-attack capability is passable.

Of course, Logan currently has "Blackwing Strike Dragon" and "Blackwing Dragon" on his field. Neither of these two monsters is "Blackwing" type, and they do not meet the quantity requirement.

But with the "Royal Temple" there, none of this is a problem.

A dark storm rose from Logan's side and blew towards Yuxi's backcourt.

When all those cards are blown away, not only will Yuki be ruined in this duel, but the entire duel might also end abruptly here.

Trap Card activated: "Walk of Fame"!

However, just as the dark storm was about to arrive, Yuki's face-down card in the back row was also simultaneously revealed. A ray of starlight flew out from the card, breaking through the storm.

"When a card effect that would destroy two or more cards on your field is activated, negate that effect and destroy them!"

After that, you could actually Special Summon a Stardust Dragon to your field via Synchro Summon. However, Yuki didn't have a Stardust Dragon, so she had to give up on that idea.

But that doesn't matter, the effect mentioned earlier is already very useful for Youxi.

"It failed as expected, but I still have another trick up my sleeve."

After using "Royal Temple" and "Triangle Raven Formation - Anti-Ambush", Logan had two cards left in his hand. He played the card he had retrieved from the face-up card.

"Attack signal summon: 'Black Feather - Tornado of Reversal'."

"Black Feather - Reverse Tornado, Level 4/Dark/Bird Beast" "ATK: 1000/DEF: 1200"

Accompanied by a deafening flash of lightning, the humanoid raven flew into the arena and roused its sleeping companions.

"Because the 'Blackwing' monster was successfully summoned, add 'Blackwing - Stealth the Cloaked' and 'Blackwing - Hamedan the Sand' (both with less than 1000 ATK) to your hand. Also activate the effect of 'Tonato the Reverse'—when this card is successfully summoned, if your opponent controls a Special Summoned monster, negate the effects of 1 'Blackwing' Tuner in your Graveyard. Revive 'Gael the Gale'. Then use the Level 3 'Gael the Gale' to adjust the Level 4 'Tonato the Reverse'."

"A dark, swift wind, transforming into blades, cleaves down lightning! Synchro Summon, 'Strike Blackwing - Thunder Cutter Bird of Sudden Rain'!"

"Strike Blackwing - Thunder Cutter Bird, Level 7/Dark/Winged Beast/Synchro" "ATK: 2600/DEF: 2000"

A louder lightning bolt erupted, and a new Synchro Monster named "Strike Blackwing" descended upon Logan's front row. "Rainbow Slasher Bird," true to its name, possessed the immense destructive power to even cut through lightning.

Yuki remembered the monster's effect: once per turn, you can destroy up to one number of "Blackwing" cards on your opponent's field other than this card. Therefore, it absolutely cannot be allowed to gain a foothold. Considering the existence of "Synchro Zone," the most suitable card to use is undoubtedly—

Counter Trap Card: "Black Horn of Ascension"!

The card stood upright, and a long, resonant whistle echoed through the sky.

With demonic wings, a black horn emitted a muffled wailing. An invisible pressure descended from the sky, crushing the "Thunderstorm Slasher Bird" into pieces.

"If your opponent Special Summons only 1 monster, negate that Special Summon and destroy it!"

"Well done, Xiao Xi!" Xing Yewu said happily, "Let's kill Uncle Logan like this!"

"It's actually a speed trap that negates a Special Summon."

Logan raised an eyebrow.

In this case, "Rainbow Slasher Bird" cannot be considered a monster that has officially appeared, and the revival restriction cannot be lifted, so it cannot be revived using "Synchro Zone".

"There's no other way but to fight head-on in the pit."

Without further developments, Logan concluded, "I activate the effect of 'Blackwing - Heavy Armored Raven'!"

[Once per turn, you can target 1 monster your opponent controls that has a Wedge Counter. Gain control of that monster.]

"Whenever a monster on your opponent's field activates its effect, 'Heavy Armored Raven' places a Wedge Counter on that monster. I'll just take 'Dark the Shadow Spirit' without hesitation."

The chains flew out, seized "Dark, the Shadow Spirit Envoy," and dragged it into Logan's territory.

Judging from the number of monsters on both sides' fields, it's a terrifying 5 vs 1 situation.

“However, due to the effect of the ‘Synchro Zone’,” Yuki reminded him, “the ‘Shadow Spirit Envoy’ cannot attack.”

"It doesn't matter, the remaining monsters are enough."

Logan raised his arm and waved—

"I'm attacking 'Demon Summoning' with the 'Blackwing Assault Dragon'!"

"This attack won't let you pass either! Trap Card activated: 'Eternal Chaos'!"

Faced with the imminent burst of dragon breath from the Blackwing Assault Dragon, Yuki pressed the button again.

The card stood upright, and the power of chaos brewed within it.

"Eternal Chaos (Normal Trap): Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; send 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster from your Deck to the Graveyard with a combined ATK less than or equal to that monster's ATK. After this card is activated, you can only activate the effects of monsters in your Graveyard once until the end of this turn."

"I choose 'Blackwing Assault Dragon' to send 'Super Electromagnetic Turtle' and 'Magic Crystal Dragon Water-Grilled Magic Crystal God' (both with 0 ATK) from my deck to the Graveyard, then banish 'Super Electromagnetic Turtle' to end the Battle Phase."

Ultra-high voltage current was applied simultaneously to all the monsters, creating a powerful repulsive magnetic force that made it fundamentally impossible for them to fight each other.

Even the heavily armored raven with all resistances cannot defy this absolute rule.

"However, because you activated a monster effect again, the effect of 'Blackwing Strike Dragon' will apply again. You gain 1 Blackfeather Counter and inflict 700 damage."

"what……"

[Yuki & Hoshino Mai LP: 4400→3700]

"Then, we proceed to Main Phase 2. I summon 'Black Feather - Stealth of the Cloak' in attack stance."

"Blackfeather - Stealth of the Cloak, Level 3/Dark/Bird/Tuner" "ATK: 800/DEF: 1200"

Logan wasn't discouraged by the failed attack; he raised his hand and slapped down a card.

Surrounded by steam, a crow-like figure with a Japanese-style lookout appeared on the scene. This person was a victim of the "water machine" who had been banned from the small dark room for many years.

"Stim the Invisible Cloak has 800 ATK. The effects of two 'Black Whirlwind' cards activate, adding 'Blackwing - Sudden Wind' and 'Blackwing - Hot Wind Kibli' from my deck to my hand. Then, the Spell Card 'Dark Temptation' draws two cards from my deck and banishes the DARK 'Hot Wind Kibli'. I set one card, and my turn ends."

As soon as the game ended, the "Shadow Spirit Master" that Logan had taken from him let out a painful groan and collapsed to the ground.

This is also due to the effect of "Heavy Armored Raven"—a monster with a wedge counter implanted will be destroyed at the end of Logan's turn.

"Phew, that's been a long time, finally it's my turn!"

With the end of Logan's turn, Xingyewu's actions were also unlocked.

The scoreboard on the duel disk lit up with the word "Draw," reminding the girl to draw a card.

"Sorry, Mai."
