Hey! Let's play cards

The attack power of the elven swordsman was higher than the defense power of the glorious angel. This sword directly cut off the angel's wings, and then turned the blade upward, and the angel turned into countless particles of light.

Haoge smiled slightly. Everything was going on in an orderly manner as he expected.

"When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon a LIGHT monster with an ATK of 1500 or less from your Deck."

"I'm going to summon 'Silent Swordsman Lv3'" As Haoge's commentary continued, light particles gathered into the deck, and a card was ejected from the deck.

Haoge pulled it out and slammed it roughly on the duel disk.

The light particles gathered and finally turned into a human form. It was a little child with blue hair, wearing a blue battle robe and holding a big sword that was almost as tall as him.

[Silent Swordsman Lv3, Attack Power 1000]

"Get ready to feel what real power is." Haoge opened his arms and laughed out loud.

In the corner of the park, the disappeared woman was watching the duel quietly.

"Goodbye, young man from nowhere. You will be buried by the darkness here." The woman's cold voice echoed in a corner of the park.

Chapter 34 Silent Swordsman

"I don't know what you're laughing at, but my attack isn't over yet. 'Iron Knight - Kia Freed' 'Power Strike' Silent Swordsman Lv3'"

Li Ming could feel that the monster had amazing potential.

The Iron Knight raised the blade on his right arm. The heavy armor on his body did not affect the Iron Knight's flexibility. He made an extremely tricky attack, stabbing at the Silent Swordsman Lv3 quickly and fiercely.

"It's not that simple. I'll use Gefuka's Counter Trap, 'Attack Nullification'. When the opponent's monster declares an attack, I'll target that attacking monster and nullify its attack. After that, the Battle Phase ends."

An invisible vortex blocked the Iron Knight's offensive momentum. The Iron Knight, who had returned empty-handed, sighed and had to retreat.

"'Attack Nullification', why wasn't this used earlier? That way, 'Glorious Angel' wouldn't be destroyed." Li Ming didn't quite understand Haoge's operation.

"Confused?" Haoge seemed to see through Li Ming's thoughts and spoke out.

"You'll find out soon enough."

"I cover a card and the turn ends." Li Ming ended his turn. No matter what, the current situation is in his advantage.

"My turn, draw a card!"

"And, at this moment, I activate the effect of Silent Swordsman Lv3, and during my Standby Phase, I send this card on the field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 'Silent Swordsman LV5' from my hand or deck."

The Silent Swordsman starts to grow at Lv3, from a child to a young man. The style of his attire remains the same, but the sword in his hand becomes a little longer. After growing up, the Silent Swordsman no longer has the innocent look of a child, but has a cool and indifferent demeanor.

What a handsome warrior! I didn’t expect that little boy would change so much. This was Li Ming’s inner feeling after seeing the swordsman for the first time.

Of course, the bigger change is——

[Silent Swordsman Lv5, Attack Power 2300]

"Attack power 2300? So this is why it's for this?" Li Ming realized it belatedly.

The monsters in the LV series all have the power to evolve and grow after meeting certain conditions.

"'Silent Swordsman lv5' skill attack 'Iron Knight-Kia Fried', Sword of Silence!" Haoge immediately gave the order to attack.

The Silent Swordsman held the sword in both hands and rushed towards the Iron Knight. He would not forget that it was the Iron Knight - Kia Fried who almost killed him in the previous round.

So he was serious about this sword.

"It's my turn. I open Gefuka and activate the quick-attack spell 'Blunt Heavy', targeting 1 face-up monster on the field. That monster's attack power decreases until the end of the turn. Of course, I choose 'Silent Swordsman Lv5'."

This is a very powerful card in Li Ming's deck, and even You Xin wants it.

For Li Ming's current deck, You Xin commented that this is a card that can turn the tide of the battle.

The defense power of Silent Swordsman Lv5 is 1000. As long as the attack power of Silent Swordsman Lv5 drops by 1000 points, he will be overtaken by the Iron Knight - Kia Fried and defeated. Li Ming will be able to continue to maintain his advantage.

But is it really that simple?

"Hmph! Boring little trick!" Haoge shook his shoulders and smiled casually.

The swordsman felt his body becoming heavy, but he calmly raised the sword in his hand and swung it lightly, and the weight immediately disappeared.

"What's going on? Why didn't 'Blunt Weight' work?" Li Ming asked in confusion, and could only watch the Iron Knight being chopped to the ground.

【Li Ming, LP4000→3500】

"'Silent Swordsman Lv5' is not affected by the opponent's magic card effects." After seeing Li Ming's surprised expression, Haoge explained slowly.

"Is this the effect? ​​That's really troublesome." Li Ming scratched his head and laughed twice in distress.

"You can still laugh out loud? That's coming." Haoge said gloatingly.

"That?" Before Li Ming opened his mouth to ask, an indescribable pain erupted in Li Ming's body.

"Ah——" Li Ming screamed, his legs went weak and he fell down.

"Hmm! What a wonderful sound." Haoge closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed Li Ming's screams.

It was a piercing pain, as if every muscle in my internal organs was being torn apart.

Li Ming rolled on the ground, unconsciously hitting the ground with his head, hoping to relieve the pain in this way.

Two minutes later, the pain gradually faded away. Li Ming half-knelt on the ground, his face pale and he kept retching.

"My dark game doesn't have those fancy things. It's just pain, extreme pain. The pain brought by the real impact of the dark game will be ten times greater for me." Haoge said to Li Ming condescendingly.

"Many duelists can't even withstand the first wave of impact. I didn't expect you to be able to stand up." Just as Haoge was explaining, Li Ming had already stood up tremblingly.

"Wow! I didn't expect this to be a dark duel. It's much more dangerous than You Xin said." Li Ming said so, but still kept a smile on his face.

"You can still laugh?" Haoge seemed a little unhappy. The man in front of him seemed a little different from the previous duelists who were killed by the darkness.

"Someone once told me that a true hero is one who always keeps smiling and brings smiles to others! And I have always wanted to be such a hero." Li Ming said and laughed twice.

"Hero? Then I want to see how long you, a guy who wants to be a hero, can last?" Haoge clenched his fists, and for some reason, a feeling of disgust surged in his heart.

"I face down a card, and the turn ends."

It's Li Ming's turn again. The Silent Swordsman Lv5 in front of him is indeed a tricky monster. If it were Li Ming a week ago, would he really have no way to deal with him?

But today, there is a possibility that Li Ming can defeat him.

"My turn, draw a card!"

"I activate the quick-play spell 'Load' from my hand, and add all the cards in my hand to the deck and shuffle them. After that, I draw the same number of cards as I added to the deck."

Based on the results, Li Ming changed his cards again.

"I changed 'Turning the Enemy's Elf Swordsman' to defense position."

[The Elf Swordsman who flips the enemy, defense 1200]

"Then I'll cover a card, and the turn ends!" There was still no chance to counterattack, so Li Ming had to consolidate his defense and wait for the opportunity.

"That's all. It's my turn. Draw a card!" Haoge said disdainfully. He thought Li Ming would have some way to fight back, but it seems he was overthinking it.

"I attack to summon the Goblin Assault Troops."

Several green goblins holding sticks appeared on Haoge's field.

[Goblin Assault Force, Attack Power 2300]

"A four-star monster actually has an attack power of 2300? So powerful!" Li Ming praised.

Haoge ignored it and directly issued a battle order: "Enter the battle phase, 'Silent Swordsman Lv5' skill attack 'flip the enemy's Elf Swordsman'."

"'Elf Swordsman who flips the enemy' cannot be destroyed by a battle with a monster with an attack power of 1900 or more." Li Ming immediately reminded him.

"Of course I know this. I activate Gaifuka 'Meteor Shower'. This turn, if your monster attacks a monster in defense position with an attack power greater than that monster's defense power, you inflict that amount of battle damage to your opponent."

In the previous round, the card that Haoge had covered was opened.

The silent swordsman slashed at the elven swordsman with his sword. The elven swordsman drew his sword to meet the blow. Although it was a bit strenuous, he still managed to take it. However, an invisible sword energy passed through the elven swordsman and rushed towards Li Ming.

【Li Ming, LP3500→2400】

"Ah!!!" Li Ming screamed again as the pain penetrated deep into his bones.

"Don't shout so early, it's not over yet. The Goblin Assault Force's attack is coming."

Several goblins rushed forward and hit the elven swordsman with their sticks. Due to the effect of the "meteor shower", Li Ming's health points were deducted again.

【Li Ming, LP2400→1300】

Another sharp pain came, and the two pains superimposed on each other. Li Ming's fingers had already been deeply embedded in the flesh. There were no wounds on his body, but it seemed as if his whole body was covered with wounds.

The woman standing in the corner of the park looked at Li Ming's painful expression, and for some reason, she felt a little touched.

Two minutes later, Li Ming felt groaning from every part of his body, and his head began to become foggy.

The scene in front of his eyes began to blur gradually, and finally Li Ming's eyes went dark and he fell down.

Chapter 35: The Time Magician

"Is it over? I haven't had enough fun yet." Haoge said unhappily as he looked at Li Ming lying motionless on the ground.

In the shadow of the park, countless darkness spread towards Li Ming.

"Forget it, let's just be swallowed by the darkness!" Haoge waved his hand casually, ready to pull out his deck and end the duel.

When the darkness was about to touch Li Ming's body, Li Ming's fingers moved.

Haoge noticed this and stopped what he was doing. "Is that guy still conscious?"

The encroaching darkness finally stopped, and after hesitating for a moment, it slowly retreated into the shadows.

Li Ming, who had fallen down, suddenly jumped up from the ground.

"It really hurts! I almost fainted." Li Ming said jokingly.

"How is it possible? How could you get up?" Haoge asked hysterically, unable to believe it.

"Isn't it all okay if we just grit our teeth and bear it?" Li Ming gave an expected yet incredible answer.

"Impossible! A low-star duelist like you can't withstand an impact of that magnitude." Haoge retorted subconsciously.

"But I made it through, that's the fact!" Li Ming shrugged and said helplessly.
