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

Alicia's current total ATK of monsters on the field is 8100, which is just over Yuki's LP of 100. Even without Special Summoning "Judgment Dragon" from her hand, it is enough to defeat Yuki.

He could be called a general...

"It's not over yet!"

Before Alicia could utter those words, Yuki's calm and collected voice rang out.

"Before 'Ruler of Color' activates its effect, I need to activate the effect of 'Chaos Hunter' in my hand first!"

[When your opponent successfully Special Summons a monster, you can discard 1 card from your hand other than this card to activate this effect. Special Summon this card from your hand.]

"Chaos Hunter, Level 7/Dark/Demon" "ATK: 2500/DEF: 1600"

As Youxi snapped the card, a white-haired witch in dark red armor, her face hidden by a mask, appeared. Her whip cracked through the air, giving her an exceptionally regal air.

"The Chaos Hunter?"

Alicia recognized the origin of the monster summoned by Yuuki: "As long as this card is on the field, your opponent cannot banish cards. If you had summoned it just now, perhaps you could have stopped 'Divine Light Dragon'."

Actually, it's not possible.

The banishing effect of "Divine Light Dragon" is of the second speed type. Even if Yukima summons the monster in advance, it will only create one more target.

Like now.

"Because there are 4 types of 'Lightsworn' monsters in the Graveyard, Special Summon 'Judgment Dragon' from your hand."

After sealing off the threats of the Hand Pit and Grave Pit with "Ruler of Color," Alicia once again summoned the full might of the Lightsworn Legion and immediately declared that she was entering the battle phase.

"The 'Ruler of Color' attacks the 'Chaos Hunter'."

A beam of laser light shot out from what resembled the head of the "Ruler of Color," directly targeting the white-haired witch. The "Chaos Hunter" was summoned by Yuki's defense, but its defense power was insufficient to stop the "Ruler of Color."

After defeating it, the remaining "Lightsworn Athena" and the two giant dragons still have enough output to OTK Yuki.

But something unexpected happened.

The laser attack from "Color Dominator" failed to break through "Chaos Hunter's" defense and was blocked by it.

"This is……"

"I used the 'Sacrifice Kuriboh' effect."

Yuki took a card from the graveyard. It was the only card that was added to the graveyard using "Chaos Hunter" after "Divine Light Dragon" cleared it.

"If a monster you control is destroyed, banish this card from your Graveyard instead. This effect does not need to be activated, therefore it is not restricted by 'Ruler of Color'."

So that's why the "Chaos Hunter" was summoned at this time.

Alicia finally understood why Yuki had hidden a backup plan, but it was too late.

She has lost the possibility of defeating Yuki in this round.

"Then lower your health as much as possible, 'Lightsworn Athena' attacks 'Chaos Hunter'."

— "Chaos Hunter" destruction.

"Then the 'Dragon of Divine Light' and the 'Dragon of Judgment' launched a direct attack on Yuuki. [Roar of Light]!"

Two streams of dragon breath, brimming with light energy, merged into one, sweeping towards You Xi and engulfing him.

This also caused his health to drop by three-quarters instantly, allowing Alicia to overtake him.

[Yu Xi's LP: 8000 → 2000]

"Then set 1 card to the back row, and end the turn."

Originally, both "Dragon of Divine Light" and "Dragon of Judgment" could dump cards from the graveyard at the end of their turn. However, due to "Ruler of Color," this process was skipped, and it was Yuki's turn again.

In this round, he cannot use the effects of monsters, making it virtually impossible for him to launch any large-scale attacks.

Fortunately, he still had an ace he had received in advance.

"My turn, draw a card!"

With her hand now containing 5 cards, Yuki glanced at the cards she had drawn and then put the cards she had previously retrieved using "Black Hole Dragon" into her Duel Disk.

"Although monster effects cannot be activated, the Spell Cards remain unaffected. Activate the Spell Card: 'Black Hole' to destroy all monsters on the field."

The ultra-high quality singularity releases an extremely strong gravitational pull, ready to tear all of Alicia's monsters to shreds.

Just then, Alicia's backcourt cover was flipped open.

"Activate the Trap Card: Lightsworn Aquis Shield."

【Lightsworn Aquarius Shield (Normal Trap): You can target up to the number of "Lightsworn" monsters you control on any of your opponent's face-up cards. Negate the effects of those cards until the end of this turn.】

A soft white light emanated from the palm of "Light Path Athena," resisting and dissipating the power of the black hole and easily resolving the crisis.

However, this scene did not surprise You Xi.

The "black hole" was an open secret, so it's perfectly normal that Alicia was able to defend against it.

"However, this means you can't use it to negate the effects of my other cards."

You Xi grabbed another card from her hand.

A savage dragon roar echoed afterward.

Send two monsters from your hand to the Graveyard, then Special Summon "Gandora the Destroyer Dragon: Blazing Light" from your hand!

Chapter 294 The Strongest Grave Pit

"Gandora the Destroyer - Radiant Flash, Level 8/Dark/Dragon" "ATK: 0/DEF: 0"

As Youxi raised her hand, a scarlet light suddenly shone from the card.

The jet-black dragon, its body inlaid with red jewels, broke free of its shackles and joined the battlefield in its most ferocious and powerful form.

The extremely fierce Feel fluctuations made it clear to everyone that it was not just impressive in appearance, but possessed a powerful force that matched its appearance.

This is the last "Gandora" that Yuki possesses, and it is also the strongest form among them.

"It's 'Gandora'?"

Just like Yuki, who hadn't expected the "Dragon of Divine Light" trump card, Alicia was also caught off guard by the trump card Yuki summoned, and for a moment showed a surprised expression.

"However, because of 'Ruler of Color,' neither side can activate monster effects this turn. So what if we summon 'Gandora,' Yuuki-kun?"

Alicia remembered clearly that the most powerful thing about "Gandora" was its field-wide destruction effect, just like "Judgment Dragon".

Without this, there shouldn't be any threat...

"While the effects cannot be used, the permanent effects are outside the scope of 'The Ruler of Color's' control."

You Xi's confident voice came through.

"The attack and defense of 'Blazing Flash' are the same as 'Gandora Forbidden,' calculated as 300 times the number of cards banished by both players. Thanks to your 'Divine Light Dragon,' Miss Alicia, its attack power is now quite high."

"!"

"Gandora the Destroyer - Blazing Light, ATK: 0 → 14700"

Forty-nine beams of soul light surged into the body of the dark dragon, causing its power to explode and become impossible to conceal.

When that number came into view, everyone, including Alicia across from them, widened their eyes.

"Attack power is a whopping 14700!?"

This number is not something that just any monster can achieve.

This means that Yu Xi, relying solely on this one monster, instantly overturned the current situation.

"As expected of You Xi, she can still find a chance to turn the tide even in this situation."

“It was just good luck. Now, I’m going to attack, Miss Alicia.”

Without a word of modesty, and without waiting any longer, Yuki summoned his absolute ace and immediately gestured forward, shouting, "Gandora - Brilliant Flash! Attack 'Judgment Dragon'! [Radiant Light of Destruction]!!"

The moment the words fell, the jewels all over the black dragon lit up one by one.

Ultimately, the light and energy converged in its mouth, transforming into a crimson beam that blasted straight at Alicia's monster.

The "Judgment Dragon" only has an attack power of 3000, but this attack will deal more than 11000 damage to Alicia. Not to mention that her current HP is only 3900, even if it were at full, she wouldn't be able to withstand this attack.

Alicia understood that she was now truly facing a life-or-death situation.

"However, it's not entirely without a chance. Activate the Trap Card: 'Needle Worm's Nest'!"

The training and selection she received at the Angel Church from a young age gave the fledgling saintess the composure she needed in duels, allowing her to defuse the attack with a wave of her hand the moment the beam cannon was about to strike.

"Based on this card's effect, send the top 5 cards of your deck to the graveyard."

"Sigh... what's the point of piling up graves at this point?" Xingye Wu asked, puzzled. "It's no longer enough to stop Youxi's attack, is it?"

The monster's effect had already been sealed off by Alicia herself using "Color Dominator". Among the trap cards, the only one that Hoshino Mai could think of to save the situation was "Xyz Bento" - a card she often used, as its ability to change the monster's battle position could indeed be surprisingly effective in many situations.

However, "Xyz Bento" can only target monsters Special Summoned from the Extra Deck. Both "Blazing Light" and "Judgment Dragon" are Legendary Monsters from the Main Deck, so "Xyz Bento" cannot affect them.

However, Alicia quickly gave her another answer.

Trap Card: The effect of "Transaction Rollback" is activated!

One of the five cards that were piled into the graveyard was taken out by Alicia and projected onto the back row.

"Exclude this card from your Graveyard, pay half of your Life Points, target 1 Normal Trap Card in your Graveyard, and change the effect of this card to the same effect it had when the targeted card was activated."

—The trap of copying traps.

Instead of being confined to a specific effect, it copies and imitates other traps, giving it a very wide range of potential uses. In addition, since it is a card that activates its effect in the graveyard, it undoubtedly has a very high synergy with graveyard-dwelling decks like "Lightsworn".

The trap that Alicia is trying to replicate here is...

"I choose 'Rainbow Life' to make the effect of 'Transaction Reversal' the same. This turn, all damage I receive is converted into healing."

In an instant, the "Transaction Reversal" card changed. The rainbow's shield protected Alicia, and although the "Judgment Dragon" could not be saved, the deadly torrent was transformed into a sea of ​​life, instantly engulfing the saintess.

【Alicia LP: 3900→1950→13950】

First it shrank, then it surged.

The attack from Yuki not only failed to defeat Alicia, but also caused her HP to increase to more than six times that of Yuki. Because "Transaction Rollback" was excluded, the attack power of "Blazing Flash" increased by 300, and the final 12000 battle damage turned into 12000 LP recovery.

This made You Xi frown, feeling a slight toothache.

"This is troublesome."
