Hey! Let's play cards

[Lightning Emperor Zabolg, defense strength 1000]

"Really?" You Xin had expected this in his mind. After all, the combination of 'Nightmare Maze' and the Joker was very suitable for this type of card.

"My turn is over!" You Xin ended his turn. Although he was unable to break through the dark duelist's defense in one breath, this result was enough.

"At the end of your turn, the effect of 'Nightmare Maze' is activated, and all monsters on the field change their positions."

[Lightning Emperor Zabolg, attack power 2400]

[Dream Clown, Attack Power 1200]

"Then it's my turn, draw a card!" The Dark Duelist looked at the card he drew and raised his eyes slightly.

"My clown is not so easily defeated."

"I activate the Spell Card 'Resurrection of the Dead'. I discard 1 card from my hand and can activate this effect by targeting 1 monster in my Graveyard. Add that monster to your hand.

Of course, I chose the 'Killer Clown'." The Dark Duelist sent a card to the Graveyard area of ​​the Duel Disk, and the 'Killer Clown' popped out from the Graveyard area.

"I attack again to summon the 'Killer Clown'" The creepy clown returned to the field. He didn't know if it was You Xin's illusion, but the clown who returned to the field looked at him with a hint of resentment.

"Then I turn 'Dream Clown' to Defense Position and activate his effect."

[Dream Clown, Defense 900]

"When Dreamy Joker changes from Attack Position to Defense Position, select a monster on your opponent's field and destroy it."

"What a pity! Your Thunder Emperor has to leave here!" said the Dark Duelist coldly.

An invisible force swept over the Thunder Emperor, and with a scream, it shattered into specks of lightning.

"Next up is a direct attack from the 'Killer Clown'."

The clown seemed very happy to hear the order. He came to You Xin with a big grin and stabbed out with the long pole in his hand like a lance.

【Youxin, LP1450→100】

You Xin was knocked to the ground by the stick, and several tentacles appeared from the darkness around him and tied up You Xin's neck and waist.

"Wow! That clown really holds a grudge. This hurts much more than before." It took You Xin a long time to struggle to get up. These dark tentacles almost wrapped You Xin into a ball.

"You will die in the next round, so try your best to fight! I will face a card, and the round will end." The dark duelist showed an exaggerated smile. In some film and television works, we usually call it "face art".

The effect of Nightmare Maze is activated again.

[Dream Clown, Attack Power 1200]

[Killer Clown, Defense 1400]

You Xin's situation was already precarious. Not only was his health reduced to only 100 points, but these tentacles also made every move he made so difficult.

But You Xin would never give up, not only because it concerned his life, but also because he longed for victory.

"It's my turn! Draw a card!!!" You Xin shouted and drew a card with all his strength.

After You Xin saw the card he drew clearly, his eyes suddenly lit up and he played it immediately.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Temptation of Darkness' from my hand, draw two cards from my deck, and then banish 1 Dark monster from my hand. If there is no Dark monster in my hand, send all cards in my hand to the Graveyard."

Yushin draws two cards, then sends a Dark Normal Monster from his hand to the Banished Zone.

"Phew - what a troublesome maze and clowns!" You Xin couldn't help but sigh. Such a hellish lineup was really a big challenge for You Xin now.

"But that's it."

"I Special Summon 'Hyotei Retainer Escher'"

On the duel field, a large icicle appeared out of nowhere and then exploded, and a retainer in blue armor shattered into the ice.

[Hyotei retainer Escher, defense strength 1000]

"What's going on? Special summon?" The Dark Duelist was a little surprised.

"By the effect of 'Hyotei Retainer Escher', if there are 2 or more cards in your opponent's Spell and Trap Zone, you can Special Summon this card from your hand." You Xin explained.

"Humph! What a boring trick. What use is there for this monster?"

"Don't be anxious! As a retainer, of course we have to welcome their emperor respectfully." You Xin smiled confidently and drew another card from his hand.

"What...what are you going to do?" This time it was the dark duelist's turn to feel uneasy.

"I will sacrifice 'Hyotei retainer Escher' as a sacrifice, and the superior will summon me.

The emperor who commands thousands of ice is born here, appear! 'Ice Emperor Mebius'!!!"

In the darkness, low temperatures descended.

Chapter 16: Demonic Appearance

The Hyotei retainer who had just appeared half-knelt on the ground respectfully, and then turned into a sacrifice to the sky.

A new force invaded the dark barrier. You Xin and the dark duelist both felt a chill. The temperature dropped suddenly, and all the items in the warehouse were covered with a layer of frost.

Above the new swimming area, a floating ice crystal formed. The ice crystal grew bigger and bigger, gradually turning into an icicle as tall as a person.

And within that icicle, a line of sight fixed its gaze firmly on the Dark Duelist, causing him to tremble all over.

Finally, the ice broke, and an emperor dressed in exquisite blue and white armor was born here with a biting cold wind.

[Hyotei Mebius, attack power 2400]

"Ice Emperor!" The Dark Duelist stared at the Emperor in front of him in a daze. "I didn't expect you to have such an Emperor. What an unexpected gain."

There was a greedy gleam in the dark duelist's eyes.

"Activate the effect of Hyotei Mobius: When this card is successfully Advanced Summoned, you can activate this effect by targeting up to 2 Spell or Trap Cards on the field. Destroy those cards.

I choose to destroy the two magic and trap cards in your backfield, Emperor Frost! "

The freezing air turned into substance and attacked the Dark Duelist's backcourt, freezing both the 'Nightmare Labyrinth' and Gaifuka into slag.

When that Gefu Card was destroyed, You Xin saw that it was a "Guillotine Tragedy", the effect of which was to destroy all Defense Position monsters on the opponent's field when the monsters on the opponent's field were changed to Defense Position.

This card is a perfect match with "Nightmare Labyrinth", and if you are not careful, it will sweep away all the monsters on the field.

Fortunately, it was destroyed along with the "Nightmare Maze".

"Entering the battle phase, Hyotei Mebius attacks Dream Clown"

Inside the dark barrier, the temperature dropped several degrees, and endless chill gathered on the Ice Emperor's body.

Ice Emperor took one step forward, and several icicles rose from the ground, spreading towards the Dream Clown's location.

The group of icicles soon arrived at the feet of the Dream Clown, and several icicles protruded from the ground and pierced him.

Dream clown, smashed.

The remaining ice, with great kinetic energy, hit the dark duelist.

[Dark Duelist, LP4000→2800]

You Xin finally caused damage to the dark duelist, and the dark tentacles around him also tied up the dark duelist at this moment.

But he seemed to have gotten used to it, and even the reduction in health points did not make him frown.

"Are you surprised?" The dark duelist shook off the ice chips on his body, not caring at all that several tentacles had already grabbed him.

"Doesn't that guy feel any pain?" You Xin was surprised at the dark duelist's reaction, but when he looked down, he immediately laughed.

"I am a person who returned from darkness. This little bit of pain is nothing to me..." The Dark Duelist was about to continue.

You Xin interrupted him and said, "So can you please stop shaking your legs?"

The Dark Duelist looked down and saw that his legs were shaking.

Dark Duelist: “…”

You Xin: “…”

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Is your turn over like this?" The Dark Duelist spoke first.

"Your change of subject is too abrupt!" You Xin thought to himself.

"I have two cards hidden, and my turn is over!" You Xin was too lazy to expose him, and after hiding two cards, he ended his turn.

"It's my turn, draw a card!" It's the Dark Duelist's turn.

"First, I activate the effect of Killer Clown in Attack Position. When this card in Defense Position is changed to Attack Position, select 1 monster on your opponent's field and return it to its owner's hand. I choose Hyotei Mobius on your field."

[Killer Clown, Attack Power 1350]

"What a pity! Frozen emperor, go back!"

A beam of dark energy shot out from the killer clown's pole and hit the Ice Emperor. As the king of ice, he had no resistance to monsters and could only helplessly return to You Xin's hands.

"I can defeat you like this, but before you are swallowed by darkness, I will let you see my trump card born from darkness again."

A strong dark power emanated from the dark duelist, and the darkness around him was also mobilized, as if a black storm was set off within the barrier.

"Oh my god! What kind of monster are they going to summon?" You Xin stretched out his hand as hard as he could to block the storm. Since the tentacles bound You Xin tightly, You Xin's body was still very stable.

"I activate the magic card 'Fusion' from my hand!!!" A huge vortex gradually formed above the black storm, and a strong suction force came from it. The killer clown on the field was sucked into the vortex under the influence of this force.

This was the first time You Xin saw fusion. Although the wind was strong, You Xin still tried his best to look up to see the scene clearly.

"I will fuse the 'Devil's Summons' in my hand with the 'Killer Clown' on the field. The fusion condition is 'Devil's Summons' + a dark attribute monster."

"This fusion condition?" After hearing this fusion condition, You Xin immediately guessed the monster that the Dark Duelist was going to summon.

"The demon from darkness that bewitches people's hearts, gain stronger power and dominate everything! Fusion summon, the demon appears!"

The white skeleton demon flew into the vortex of fusion, and an even more evil force was born.
