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

Seeing the Black Witch's clone jump out, Youxi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

It can be played at almost zero cost during your turn, and can also be resurrected during your opponent's turn, plus it has the effect of searching for cards. In every sense, it is indeed much more useful than his ace, "The Dark Magician".

However, whether something is easy to use or not is a different matter from whether it can lead to victory.

"Activate once more! 'Dimensional Magic'! Release 'Dimensional Spellcaster' to Special Summon 'Crimson Mage' from your hand and destroy 'Black Witch - Diabelstar'."

"Crimson Archmage, Level 6/Dark/Mage" "ATK: 1700/DEF: 2200"

The magic activated a second time took effect, and a dark red-robed mage with the potential to reach infinity descended.

The Dark Witch's clone, which had just been resurrected, was blasted back into the graveyard.

But with the appearance of the "Crimson Archmage", the temple suddenly trembled, and raging flames erupted from the stone statues that stood quietly on the battlefield.

The serpent spread its wings and cast a fierce gaze toward You Xi.

"Field Spell Card: 'Serpent's Temple' effect activated! When your opponent Normal or Special Summons a monster, once per turn, Special Summon 1 monster card treated as a Continuous Spell Card to my field. Special Summon 'Serpent's Flame Dragon'!"

"Snake-Eyed Flame Dragon, ATK: 3000"

"The effect of 'Snake-Eyed Flame Dragon' allows you to Special Summon 1 monster card treated as a Continuous Spell Card to your field during your opponent's turn. Special Summon 'Snake-Eyed White Oak' in Defense Position, then use its effect to revive 'Snake-Eyed Flame Rin' in Defense Position."

The departure of the Dark Witch's avatar triggered a series of chain reactions, ultimately awakening the Trisolarans' "Snake Eyes".

Despite being hit by "Dimensional Magic" twice, Diabelstar's monster horde on the field did not seem to decrease much.

"The effect of 'Serpent's Eye Flame': Search your Deck for 1 'Serpent's Eye' Spellbinder and bring it into your hand."

By using the monster search effect to replenish her hand to 7 cards, the Black Witch, who had an overwhelming advantage in card advantage over Yuki, said smugly, "See that, human! I have so many monsters on my field again. All your hard work was for nothing."

"So give up. No matter what you do, it's all in vain. Treasures belong to the virtuous, but that virtuous person is clearly not you."

Seeing the area that had been painstakingly cleared almost completely restored by the opponent in an instant is very demoralizing and demoralizing, and the Black Witch's trash talk only amplifies the effect.

However, Youxi's expression and fighting spirit remained unshaken.

"No, it's too early to give up now. 'Dimensional Spellcaster' effect activated!"

"You can activate this effect if this card is sent from the Monster Zone to the Graveyard. Draw the number of Spellcaster monsters you control from your Deck. Then, return the cards in your hand that you drew to the top of your Deck in any order you like."

"I currently have two Spellcaster monsters on my field: 'Silent Magician Lv8' and 'Crimson Magician,' so I draw 2 cards and get 2 chances to win! Draw!"

The final filtration was exchanged for a last hope of attack.

Yuki saw in the new cards the possibility of achieving true victory.

"Here we go, Miss Diabelstar! Quick-attack spell: 'Inner and Outer Unity' activated!"

With swift movements, Yuki inserted the card into the Duel Disk's slot, and black and white light flashed and burst forth from the "Silent Magician".

The light echoed the emerald green card that appeared in Yuki's back row, outlining the form of a brand new monster.

"Tribute 1 LIGHT/DARK monster you control. Special Summon 1 LIGHT/DARK monster from your hand or Extra Deck that has the same Type and Level as that monster but a different Attribute."

Although Yuki's deck has a variety of monster cards, it is mostly composed of LIGHT and DARK attribute monsters. This magic card, which she specially selected from the card shop, can play a very good role in it.

"Silent Magician Lv8" is a Level 8 LIGHT Spellcaster-Type monster, therefore you can Special Summon a Level 8 DARK Spellcaster-Type monster from your Extra Deck.

Here, one could summon the "Chaos Black Magician" to reclaim the "Dimensional Magic" once more, but Yuki has a better option.

"—Come forth! 'Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Rider'!"

"Super Magic Knight - Black Magician Rider, Level 8/Dark/Mage/Fusion" "ATK: 2800/DEF: 2300"

"[Dark Magician] + Warrior Monster"

Players swapped!

Replacing the departing "Silent Magician" as the Dark Magician charged into the battlefield, riding a divine steed.

The wand in his hand has been replaced with a spiral lance, which can be seen to incorporate many elements of "Gaia".

The Black Witch exclaimed in surprise, "They actually skipped the fusion summoning step and summoned a fusion monster directly!"

Fusion Summoning is a special skill that requires gathering fusion materials and a "Fusion" Spell Card to perform, making it only slightly better than the less efficient Ritual Summoning in terms of trouble and card disadvantage. However, "Two-in-One" completely ignores all of these issues.

In theory, Yuki could even use this card to summon the legendary Red Daddy. Unfortunately, he hasn't printed that forbidden card yet.

But "Dark Magician Rider" is enough for him.

"Because a Spell Card was activated, 'Crimson Magician' gains 1 Spell Counter and its ATK increases by 300. 'Super Magician Knight - Dark Magician Rider' gains ATK equal to 100 times the number of Spell/Trap Cards on both players' fields and graveyards."

Yu Xijun said, "There are now 11 Spell/Trap cards in both players' graveyards and 3 on the field, therefore 'Dark Magician Rider's' attack power increases by 1400."

"Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Rider, ATK: 2800→4200"

Its attack power has broken through the 4000 mark in the blink of an eye, approaching that of the Dark Witch who previously had the "Unity Power" buff. But more important than its attack power is another effect it possesses.

"When 'Dark Magician Rider' attacks a defense monster, if its ATK exceeds its DEF, it will inflict damage exceeding the value."

Yu Xi's gaze swept over the horde of monsters in the enemy ranks. He spoke a lot of harsh words, but the Black Witch herself was still very cautious.

Those "snake-eyed" monsters were all in a defensive stance, which should have been an impenetrable iron shield, but they were meaningless in front of the "Dark Magician Riders".

Although the Dark Witch can revive "Link Kuriboh" from the graveyard, Yuki also has "Crimson Magician" on the field, which cannot stop "Dark Magician Rider".

"Checkmate! It's still my battle phase. Go! 'Super Magic Knight - Black Magic Rider', attack 'Serpent-Eyed Flame Dragon'!"

As the final attack command was given, the "Black Magic Riders" in front of Yuki instantly shifted from stillness to motion, unleashing a whirlwind of dark magic as they charged straight toward the enormous serpent dragon.

Since it doesn't matter which monster we fight, we should naturally target the strongest monster.

"You've been tricked, Youxi!"

Upon seeing this, the Black Witch curled up her lips into a smug smile, revealing the triumph of her scheme, and then flipped the card over.

"The 'Link Kuriboh' is just a decoy; the real trap is here! Activate the Trap Card 'Snake-Eyed Dragon of Domination' the moment you declare your attack!"

"Snake Eyes Dragon of Domination (Continuous Trap) ①: If the total Levels of the "Snake Eyes" monsters you control are 2 or higher, you can activate 1 of the following effects.

● You can target 1 monster your opponent controls (face-up) or Graveyard; treat that monster as a Continuous Spell Card and place it face-up in its original owner's Spell & Trap Zone.

● You can target 1 monster card that you or your opponent controls that is treated as a Continuous Spell Card; Special Summon that card to your field.

As a legendary master thief, one must not only be skilled at breaking traps and mechanisms, but also be proficient in setting them up; one must be a top-level trap master.

Having endured this long, the Black Witch was certain that once the trap was activated, it would absolutely crush Yuki.

"I currently have an 8-star 'Serpent-Eyed Flame Dragon' on my field. I'll choose the first effect!"

The immense pressure of the "Serpent-Eyed Flame Dragon" spread throughout the entire area, and its scarlet curse rays bombarded the charging "Black Magician Cavalry," attempting to turn them into stone statues.

Without the "Dark Magician Riders", Yuki only had a lone "Crimson Magician" on the field, which was completely vulnerable.

The Black Witch thought to herself that she had already secured victory.

But the next moment, the "Dark Magician Cavalry" raised its spiral lance high, and the sudden burst of dark magic power clashed head-on with the scarlet light of the curse.

"What!? This is...!"

This sudden turn of events made the Dark Witch's eyes widen. For some reason, she suddenly remembered the scene from a dozen minutes ago when "Silent Magician Lv8" broke free from the petrification curse.

Hey, really?

Could it be——

"The effect of 'Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Rider' is activated!"

The Black Witch's premonition, which she absolutely did not want to come true, was immediately fulfilled by Yuki.

"When a Spell, Trap, or Monster effect that targets a card on the field is activated, you can discard 1 card from your hand to negate and destroy that activation."

Damn it! So there really is resistance to it!

"This kind of trap can't stop the 'Dark Magician Cavalry,' Miss Diabelstar. This is truly the end. Continue the charge, 'Dark Magician Cavalry!'"

Bearing the fighting spirit of the monster, Yuki shouted, and the "Dark Magician Rider" pierced through the cursed red light, heading straight for its original target with undiminished momentum.

The lance, wreathed in dark magic, was like a drill piercing the sky, and this time it completely pierced through the Stone Flame Dragon.

"—Black Spiral Thrust!!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"

[Mary Sorceress LP: 600 → 0]

Chapter 90 I got a new game card!

A spiral drill bit pierced the sky, and in Youxi's eyes, it pierced the shell of the huge Stone Flame Dragon with unstoppable force.

"Snake-Eyed Flame Dragon" is a defensive formation, which should be foolproof, but the "Dark Magician Rider" summoned by Yuki is even better.

The roar of dark magic, accompanied by the screams of the Black Witch, echoed throughout the vast, empty temple.

Just like the scene in "Valkyrie Profile," she was once again blasted away.

The fact that a legendary thief suffered two major setbacks is a pitiful sight that would break anyone's heart, and it made You Xi feel a little sorry for him.

Did I go too far?

However, the performance difference between the two decks is obvious. In a prolonged battle, he is no match for the Dark Witch. It is better to win in one go if possible.

Even if she could do it all over again, Yu Xi felt she would make the same choice.

As the outcome of the duel became clear, the magic knight who had brought victory to Yuki disappeared from the field.

Not only did the "Dark Magician Rider" and the "Crimson Magician" disappear at the same time, but the "Snake-Eyed Flame Dragon" with a hole in its body and two other "Snake-Eyed" monsters also turned into a scarlet light and returned to the red orb hanging high in the sky.

Looking at the red bead with a vertical crack in the middle, You Xi had a premonition that he had passed his trial.

Although this may be different from the trial level prepared at the beginning, the result is that the trial mechanism of this temple recognizes the legitimacy of this trial duel and includes the uninvited black witch in the trial level.

"Damn it, I never thought I would actually lose, lose to a mere human."

Miss Dark Witch seemed unable to accept this outcome; the mental blow she suffered was greater than the physical pain.

A legendary thief, actually lost to a human...
