With the buff of "Unity", "Magic Valkyrie" has a defense of 5300, dealing 3400 damage back to Diabelstar.

This single hit might not seem like much against an 8000 HP opponent, but now it's a deep, bone-chilling wound. A mere glancing blow could instantly kill this so-called legendary thief, the Black Witch.

Yu Xi basically achieved his tactical objective in this round.

To be honest, even Yuki herself didn't expect things to go so smoothly. It just goes to show that once duelists get carried away, the consequences can be unimaginable.

We must learn from this.

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

On the other side, just as Youxi was keeping the Black Witch in mind as a negative example, the latter also slowly got up from the ground, clutching her buttocks.

As expected of an elf, even though it was caught in the crossfire of its own monster and fell from such a height, it was completely unharmed except for getting a little dusty.

If this happened to a human, they would be badly injured, if not killed.

Controlling the crimson magic that swirled around him, removing all the dust that had settled on him, Diabelsta straightened his slightly crooked ghost mask, and then looked with a dangerous gaze at the unharmed Yuki.

"You little rascal, you're pretty capable. I haven't been beaten this badly in a long time."

"I think you could have avoided this situation if you had played more cautiously," Yu Xi said innocently.

Keep in mind that he has 3 face-down cards. Even if he uses one of them to defeat "Serpent Eyes Fire Dragon", he still has 2 more lying dormant.

"I still have one face-down card left. 'Valkyrie' has 5300 DEF until the end of the turn. Even with 'Unity,' your clones' ATK will only be 4100 at most, which isn't enough to break through. Are we going to end the turn like this?"

"The end? How could that be!"

After suffering three defeats in a row, a normal person might be ready to give up at this point. But the Dark Witch showed no intention of learning her lesson, and said swiftly, "You can't get past 'Magic Valkyrie,' but you still have plenty of other monsters on your field."

"Snake-Eyed Flame Dragon is a dragon-type monster and won't be protected by the Magic Valkyrie. I refuse to believe your final face-down card is also protected. I'll attack Snake-Eyed Flame Dragon with my half-body! Great Thief's Secret Technique—Crimson Shadow!"

The clone summoned by Diabelstar leaped into the air, its dagger glowing crimson, and pierced the "Serpent-Eyed Flame Dragon's" skull like a meteor.

— Destroyed by "Snake-Eyed Flame Dragon".

[Yu Xi's LP: 3000 → 1900]

They were willing to give up the possibility of the monster returning after the hypnosis ended, in exchange for a decrease in Yuki's base score and two flames burning in front of the witch.

"If 'Snake-Eyed Flame Dragon' is sent from your hand or field to the Graveyard, Special Summon 2 Level 1 FIRE monsters from your Graveyard. Revive 'Snake-Eyed Flame Rin' and 'Snake-Flame Birch Beast'."

The monster lineup on the field has been restored to a luxurious form of 4 monsters. With the increase in the number of monsters, the attack power of the Black Witch clone has also been increased to 5700.

She can now easily break through the "Magic Valkyrie's" defenses.

"But without special means, a monster can only attack once per turn."

Yu Xi wasn't concerned about the Black Witch's clone's power, since it posed no threat to her this round anyway.

and……

“If Miss Diabelstar has nothing else to do, I will end this duel in the next round.”

"Oh wow, you little brat are really arrogant."

The Dark Witch said unhappily, "But don't get too cocky. As a legendary thief, I won't lose to you so easily. The duel is about to truly begin."

"Entering Main Phase 2, I'll set a link marker with a 1-star 'Snake-Eyed White Oak,' Link Summon! Appear, L-ink1, 'Link Kuriboh'!"

"Connect to chestnut ball, L-ink1/Dark/Electronic World/Connect" "↓, ATK: 300"

"One 1-star monster"

A beam of light shone, and the arrow, illuminated by the soul of a "snake eye," appeared on the field, accompanied by the cry of "Kurikuri," a futuristic, all-blue Kuriboh.

This monster is also in Yuki's deck. Since it is a versatile Link Monster, its effect is also well understood.

"When your opponent's monster declares an attack, you can Tribute 'Cross Kuriboh' to reduce that monster's ATK to 0. Furthermore, 'Cross Kuriboh' can be Special Summoned from your Graveyard by Tributing 1 Level 1 monster you control."

The attack reduction effect of "Link Kuriboh" is not limited to once per turn, and since Dark Witch currently has 2 monsters on the field, it means she can block at least 2 attacks.

"I'll set two more cards down, then my turn is over!"

With her hand completely covered, the Black Witch, now empty-handed, announced the turn change.

"Now it's my turn to set up an impenetrable wall. If you can break through, feel free to try. This legendary thief will make sure you don't leave alive!"

I always get the feeling that this guy is an idiot...

"My turn, draw a card!"

Without uttering his complaints, Yu Xi casually drew cards from his deck.

"That's how I entered the battle phase."

Then, without doing anything, it ended its precious first main phase and went straight into the battle phase.

This miraculous maneuver naturally drew a bewildered exclamation from the Dark Witch.

"Huh? I've already entered the battle stage?"

What kind of tactic is this? Shouldn't you have launched a full-scale attack?

"Because this is to fulfill the conditions for activating this card."

Yuki lightly touched the Duel Disk with her finger, opening her last face-down card.

"Quick-attack spell activated—'Silence Magic Blast'!"

Chapter 89 Raging Waves! A Drill Piercing the Sky!!

"Quick-attack spell—'Silence Magic Blast'!"

The card is activated face down, and from the flipped-up magic card, "Silent Magician" is radiating a dazzling light, shining brightly and captivatingly.

"This card can only be activated during the Battle Phase if there is a 'Silence Magician' monster on the field and I have more cards in my hand than my opponent. Both players draw six cards into their hands, and this card's activation and effect cannot be negated."

Yuki held the only card in her hand, while the Black Witch Diabelstar had no cards in her hand, which perfectly met the activation conditions for this card.

"So, I can draw 6 cards? That's great!"

The Dark Witch unceremoniously drew cards from her deck; drawing six cards out of thin air undoubtedly brings immense pleasure. Both sides had a great time drawing cards.

Diabelstar's pale gold eyes, not hidden by the Red Oni mask, swept over the cards he had drawn, and he excitedly licked his lips: "I drew some good cards. With these cards, I'll definitely be able to take you down next turn. Speaking of which, so this is what your 'Mega Card' is, Yuki. So, what you said before was just to fool me."

Yuki said in the last round that he would end the duel in this round, but looking back now, Yuki simply couldn't have done that.

After all, it would be fine if "Silence Magic Blast" could be activated during the main phase, but at this point, even if you draw six, you can't immediately convert them into usable resources.

It seems that You Xi's words were more about scaring himself.

"not necessarily."

As the Black Witch finished looking at her hand, Yu Xi also finished looking at his hand.

His face didn't show any shock at being exposed; perhaps he was just bluffing before, but things were different now.

“Miss Diabelstar, the battle is only just beginning this round. I'll attack ‘Link Kuriboh’ with ‘Silence Magician Lv8’!”

"How naive, humans! This attack won't work—Activate the effect of 'Link Kuriboh'! Free yourself, reducing 'Silence Magician Lv8's' ATK to 0 until the end of this turn."

With a cry of "Krikri," the adorable creature from the electronic world resolutely crashed into the mature woman, shattering the magical light she had gathered.

"Silent Magician Lv8, ATK: 3500→0"

The incapacitation of "Silent Magician Lv8" was to be expected, and Yuki's offensive will not end because of this setback.

"Then let's activate 'Dimensional Magic'!"

As the attack subsided, Yu Xi unleashed her quick-attack magic, officially initiating her rapid-attack tactics.

"Release 'Magic Valkyrie', Special Summon 1 Spellcaster monster from your hand, then you can destroy 1 monster on the field."

"I see, so this is what they meant by 'not necessarily'."

The Dark Witch, with an expression of complete understanding, waved her slender arm.

"But as I've already said, this kind of attack won't work! Activate the Trap Card in a chain: 'Betrayal of Sin - Forest Wolf'!"

"Send 1 'Diabelstar' monster on the field—that is, myself—to the Graveyard, and negate the effect of 1 card on the field."

The crimson trap card was flipped over, and the power of the "Sin Treasure," different from that of "Sin Treasure - Snake Eyes," was released.

This power is not only effective against monsters, but also against demonic traps.

As long as we stop the "dimensional magic" here...

"C3, quick attack magic: "Extraordinary Food"! "

The "Dimensional Magic" card shattered first, thwarting the Dark Witch's plans.

"Send any Spell/Trap Card on your field to the Graveyard and recover LP equal to the number of cards sent to the Graveyard x 1000".

Yu Xi said, "'Rebellious Sin Treasure - Forest Wolf' is a target-based effect; if the target disappears first, the effect will fail. Therefore, let's continue with the effect of 'Dimensional Magic' and Special Summon 'Dimensional Caster' from our hand!"

"Dimensional Spellcaster, Level 1/Dark/Mage" "ATK: 500/DEF: 500"

[Yu Xi's LP: 1900 → 2900]

The magician, whose limbs were bound by metal, descended, and then the exploding flames engulfed the "Snake-Eyed Birch Beast" on the Black Witch's field.

"Then, after a Spellcaster monster is Special Summoned, 'Dimensional Spell' can destroy 1 monster your opponent controls. And if 'Dimensional Caster' is Special Summoned, its effect activates! I can add 1 'Dimensional Spell' from my Deck or Graveyard to my hand."

"You're still planning to come? Fine! I'll keep you company to the very end!"

Crimson magical light flew out from the dagger's duel disk, transforming back into the form of the Dark Witch's clone.

"This is my third effect as a legendary thief!"

"This card can be activated during your opponent's turn if it is sent from your hand or field to the Graveyard. Send 1 card from your hand or field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon this card."

"Send 'Serpent Eyes Flame Rin' to the Graveyard, and my clone will be resurrected from there. If it is successfully Special Summoned, set the new 'Sinful Treasure' from your Deck to your back row. If 'Serpent Eyes Flame Rin' is sent to the Graveyard, stone it up and place it there."

You're back again.
