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

The portal opened, and a black-haired youth emerged from it, one hand concealed by a cloak and the other holding a skull and ram's head.

"Activate the effect of 'Dark': Once per turn, Special Summon 1 DARK monster from your opponent's Graveyard to its Link Point. Revive 'Destroyer Phoenix'."

You Xi used his increasingly skilled abilities to call back the most beautiful freshman who had just been forced to fight for himself to the field.

Of course, having already demonstrated its effectiveness, it was nothing more than a blank slate in Youxi's hands, and now Youxi only needed it as a stepping stone.

"Next, summon 'Kuriboh' from your hand, set a link marker between 'Kuriboh' and 'Phoenix of Destruction,' and link summon L-ink2, 'Phantom Phoenix'!"

The "Phoenix" from the "Phantom Collapse" series appears, and then transforms into a new tornado together with the Spirit Messenger.

"Reveal, circuit that guides miracles! The Summoning condition is [2 or more monsters Special Summoned from the Extra Deck]. Set Link Markers with 2 Link Monsters on the field, Link Summon! The Star Warrior who paves the way for the future, L-ink4, 'Astram, Knight of the Twin Skys'!!"

"Twin Knights Astram, L-ink4/Light/Cyber ​​World/Connection" "←↙↘→, ATK: 3000"

As starlight descends, the azure star warrior arrives riding on the light.

It gently swung the hero's sword in its hand, scattering stardust, and the powerful feeling fluctuations made Eliza take a serious look.

"It's 'Twin Domes'... Oh, right, you did get this card during the Duel Island incident."

Upon seeing the appearance of the "Twin Domes", Eliza knew that she had lost the duel.

If it weren't for that "Dark Chaos Extreme Magician," she could probably still survive using the effect of "Destiny Hero Dynamite," but that's no longer possible.

"Let's use this one strike to bring this duel to a close!"

Yuki shouted at the top of her lungs: "Astram, Knight of the Twin Skys, attack the Ferocious Venomous Fusion Dragon! [Star Opening]!!"

Countless dazzling starlight gathered on the sword's blade, and with the swing of "Twin Domes," it surged towards the "Fierce, Hungry, Poisonous Fusion Dragon" like a torrent.

The 200-point difference in combat power between the two is insufficient to deplete Elizabeth's health. But Yu Xi certainly wouldn't make that mistake.

"During the damage calculation phase, the effect of 'Knight of the Twin Skys' activates! When this card battles a Special Summoned monster, it gains the opponent's monster's ATK only during that damage calculation."

"Astram, Knight of the Twin Skys, ATK: 3000→5800"

— Destroyed by "Ferocious Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon".

[Eliza LP: 2000 → 0]

The starlight, blazing with hope and creating the future, engulfed the poisonous dragon.

This laid the foundation for victory.

Chapter 309 Izayoi's Double Star Tuning

"Hey, that's enough already. You still don't know how to give up. You know perfectly well that you can't win."

In the Temple of Synchronization.

Dressed in a disheveled manner and with no intention of showing respect in his words or actions, Narukami-sensei slightly raised his head, as if looking down on... no, looking down on his opponent.

The fact that they dared to be so arrogant and provoke a beating shows that they weren't without their own confidence.

In his forecourt, there were two rather beautiful dragons.

The two dragons had wings made of jade and crystal respectively, resembling aircraft wings. They had no lower limbs, and the monster with the crystal wings was covered in crystal armor, radiating an exceptionally powerful aura.

"—For a deck like yours with such weak cards, the synergy with monsters like 'Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon' and 'Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon' is absolutely terrible."

—"Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon", "Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon".

This is the card key that suppresses the Synchro Temple, just like "Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon". However, unlike Elizabeth, who can only use "Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon", Naruto-no-Sama can clearly use the power of a higher level.

In the realm of Synchro Summoning, there is no creature more domineering than the evolved "Transparent Wing Synchro Dragon".

On the other hand, the white-haired, red-eyed girl only had a giant rose dragon crouching around her. With just such a monster, it was hard to see how she could possibly defeat her opponent.

Despite hearing this, Izayoi Yuki's stern expression remained unwavering.

"Even so, it doesn't mean there's no chance of winning. Normal Summon the Tuner Monster: 'Rozen Maiden,' and use the Level 3 'Rozen Maiden' to adjust the Level 7 'Black Rose Dragon'."

3 stars + 7 stars = 10 stars!

"Nighttime roses, bathed in the fiery flames of crimson lotus, bloom in ultimate splendor! Synchronous Summoning, 'Crimson Lotus Rose Dragon'!"

"Crimson Rose Dragon, Level 10/Fire/Dragon/Synchro" "ATK: 3200/DEF: 2400"

As Izayoi Yuki waved her hand, the Star Ring, transformed from "Rozen Maiden," passed through the "Black Rose Dragon," triggering the most dazzling white light. Within the white light, the Rose Dragon underwent a new sublimation and evolution, becoming even more noble and elegant, exuding an aura of grace and majesty.

"Oh--?"

Upon seeing the appearance of the "Crimson Rose Dragon," Narukami-sensei raised an eyebrow, revealing an expression of interest.

"The evolved form of the 'Black Rose Dragon'? I've never seen you use it before, back in the Star Cup."

"Because this is the power I gained this summer, through that glass of starlight water."

The power brewed from the Star Cup was ultimately drunk up by Izayoi Yuki. After her soul was cleansed of its impurities and she deeply experienced the principles of dueling, Izayoi Yuki naturally did not leave empty-handed.

"If the effect of 'Crimson Rose Dragon' is activated and a Synchro Summon is successfully performed, all cards in both players' Graveyards are banished. Furthermore, since 'Black Rose Dragon' was used as material, all other cards on both players' fields can be destroyed."

"It's no use."

Narukami's bored voice rang out: "I thought you had some new trick up your sleeve. Do you really think this kind of effect can help you turn the tide?"

"Have you forgotten the effects of the two monsters I control? — The effect of 'Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon' activates, negating the effects of Level 5 or higher monsters on the field and destroying them. 'Dual-Colored Mirror'!"

With a low growl, "Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon" flapped its wings as "Crimson Rose Dragon" unleashed its Rose Storm, preparing to absorb and reflect all of "Crimson Rose Dragon's" power with its emerald wings.

At this moment, Izayoi Yuki calmly declared again: "Then let's activate the second effect of 'Crimson Rose Dragon'."

"When the effect that destroys a card is activated by the opponent, release yourself to negate and destroy that effect."

This effect is a replica of "Stardust Dragon".

If this effect can be used to counter "Transcendent Synchro Dragon", "Crimson Rose Dragon" can blow everything on the field away.

But things are certainly not that simple.

"It's no use saying anything; just chain together the effects of 'Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon.'"

Narukami-sensei said impatiently, "Once per turn, when a monster's effect is activated, negate that effect and destroy it. Also, increase the destroyed monster's ATK by the original ATK value. [Clear Domain]!"

The crystal blades sliced ​​through the air, completely shattering the "Crimson Rose Dragon," which then scattered in all directions.

The attack power of "Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon" suddenly increased to 6200, and Izayoi Yuki's ace was defeated as soon as it appeared. It seems that her final desperate struggle will also end in failure.

—But for Izayoi Yuki, this was only the prelude to the counterattack.

"In this way, 'Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon' can no longer activate its effect. Trap Card activated: 'Level Obstruction'!"

Izayoi Yuki pressed the button on the Duel Disk, and the face-down card beneath her stood up: "If a monster card on your field is destroyed by battle or your opponent's card effect, Special Summon any number of monsters from your Deck up to the same total Level. Negate the effects of the monsters Special Summoned by this effect."

With Izayoi Yuki's declaration, the 10 stars of "Crimson Rose Dragon" scattered and combined in a certain number, and after falling to the ground, they turned into monsters.

"Spore, Level 1/Adjustment, DEF: 800"

"Crimson Wolf, Level 6, DEF: 2200"

"Vision Resonator, Level 2/Adjustment, DEF: 400"

"Growing Bulb, Level 1/Adjustment, DEF: 100"

Four monsters lined up horizontally in front of the white-haired, red-eyed girl, and then a white, synchronized light shone forth.

"Adjust the star rating of the 2-star 'Vision Resonator' and the 6-star 'Crimson Wolf'."

"The roar of the king now shakes the earth, etching the unparalleled power of a conqueror upon your being! Synchro Summon, Ferocious Soul! 'Crimson Dragon - Right Crimson Mark'!"

The fierce flames tinged the synchronized white light with crimson, and the battle-damaged "Crimson Dragon" roared as it descended upon the battlefield.

“Right red mark?”

Upon seeing the monster's appearance, Narukami immediately understood: "So, the 'Black Rose Dragon' didn't work, and you're trying to come back to this kind of monster? You've really forgotten how badly you've been beaten up, you idiot! Have you forgotten how I thrashed your 'Crimson Demon' before? 'Right Crimson Mark' is quite effective, but it's not enough to reach 'Crystal Wings'."

"Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon" has an attack power of 6200 at this moment. "Right Red Mark"'s "Absolute Authority Flame" can only destroy monsters with an attack power lower than "Right Red Mark", so it is indeed no match for him.

but……

“I never expected ‘Right Crimson Mark’ to defeat you from the start; it’s just a stepping stone for the next step. Before that, I activate the effect of ‘Vision Resonator’: If a card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, add 1 ‘Crimson Dragon’ related Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand. I choose ‘Crimson Hell Defense’.”

"Crimson Hell Land" had already been destroyed in the previous duel, so Izayoi Yuki opted for this card and added it to her Duel Disk: "While 'Right Crimson Mark' is on the field or in the Graveyard, its card name is treated as 'Crimson Dragon,' thus fulfilling its activation conditions. Destroy all Spell/Trap Cards in your backrow."

"Tsk."

Watching his traps blasted away by the flames, Narukami-sensei couldn't help but click his tongue slightly. At the same time, Izayoi Yuki opened her eyes, which she had just closed, and deep within her crimson pupils, flames burned quietly.

That was the source of motivation generated by a new goal after the desire for revenge had ended.

She wanted to help Shang Youxi instead of always having him save her.

Therefore, I will never lose to Naruto no Mikoto here.

"Besides 'Crimson Rose Dragon,' this is the new power I've gleaned from 'Crimson Demon Dragon.' I'm using two Level 1 monsters, 'Growing Bulb' and 'Spore,' to double-level 'Crimson Demon Dragon - Right Crimson Mark'!"

"What? You mean double-tuning!?"

Narukami-sensei's previously leisurely expression froze for a moment, and then he saw two rings of flame on the Izayoi Snowfield enveloping "Crimson Dragon - Right Crimson Mark".

1★ + 1★ + 8★ = 10★!

"King and demon, now meet here. Touch the soul of the Crimson Dragon, let out a roar that creates heaven and earth! Synchro Summon! Appear! Rank 10, 'Crimson Dragon Tyrant'!"

"Crimson Dragon Tyrant, Level 10/Dark/Dragon/Synchro" "ATK: 3500/DEF: 3000"

"Two Tuner monsters + one or more non-Tuner monsters"

Not a top-tier 12-star, yet it exuded a powerful aura that was in no way inferior to those of monsters. As if the sky itself were being scorched red by flames, the majestic and tyrannical dragon, accompanied by a monstrous heatwave, crashed down behind the girl.

Izayoi Yuki's hair flew in the air, with sparks adorning the ends.

—This is the answer she submitted.

Now that she has finally mastered dual star manipulation, she has the potential to confront the evil god within her inner world.

"The effect of 'Tyrant' is activated, destroying all cards on the field. This turn, you can only attack with 'Tyrant'."

"Damn it! Not again...!"

At this moment, Narukami-sensei's expression finally twisted.

He glared fiercely at Izayoi Yuki, never expecting to be caught off guard and suffer such a setback.
