Aspiring to become a magnetic field card player!

"Activate the effect of [Ancient Relic: Hundred-Hit Bow], a monster in your Graveyard. When this card is destroyed during your opponent's turn, you can Special Summon it to your side of the field..."

After putting the monster back on the field according to his brilliant plan, Jiragu did not stop, but picked up another relic card in the graveyard: Death Scythe.

"Then there's [Hundred Hit Bow]'s second effect! When this card is successfully Special Summoned during your opponent's turn, you can select a Relic Monster in your Graveyard and revive it as a Spell Card in the Spell or Trap Zone... Of course, I placed [Relic Death Scythe]!"

At this point, after paying the price of three monsters on the field and almost all the cards in the backfield, Jiragul finally achieved his goal with such an exquisite tactic... Not only did he survive successfully, but he also summoned the Ancient Relic Monster Ancient Relic Death Scythe, and at the same time, he almost cleared all the resources on the Youling Field in the safest way by returning to the deck.

Even You Ling couldn't help but be surprised by the opponent's move at this moment, and even sighed in amazement: "All the monsters returned to the deck... It really took a toll on me."

Hearing You Ling's words, Jilagu, who had experienced You Ling's bombardment before and didn't dare to let down his guard at all, just shook his head and looked quite humble: "No, I only fought back a little... It's enough for me to still play."

"If I hadn't successfully cleaned up your situation, and it had continued like that... I'm afraid I'd be as good as dead."

"Indeed..." Upon hearing this, You Ling nodded slightly.

But then, his tone suddenly changed: "But... you don't think that my offensive will stop here after clearing out all my Flame Kings, do you?"

Hearing this, Jilagu suddenly raised his head and looked at You Ling with a somewhat incredulous look - then he saw that You Ling did not show any surprise or discomfort... It was as if he had anticipated this and the situation was still under his control!

"Impossible! Could it be that you still have..."

But having said this, Jiragu had already shut his mouth - because in the next moment, he saw Youling shift his teasing gaze away from him and look at the last remaining monster on his field... the Flame King Divine Beast Roc Phoenix, which was in defense position and had escaped the Water Shield effect and returned to the deck.

At the same time, You Ling stretched out his right hand again, revealed another card in his hand, and slammed it towards the magic trap area: "It's far from over... I'm using a quick attack magic!"

"Flame King...Shentianshao!"

As if he had anticipated this, You Ling's actions remained almost uninterrupted. "According to this card's effect, I target the monster [Flame King·Phoenix] on my field and the face-up card [Ancient Relic·Death Scythe] you just placed... Qi Lingba [Discard]?"

"Destroy them...all!"

Jiragu was completely confused about You Ling's move and even his choice of target - but precisely because he couldn't understand, he felt more and more panicked.

“—Why is it… [Death Scythe]!?”

Volume 1: Chapter 157 Shark Sister is very worried about you, so Shark hates you

Under the effect of the Flame King Divine Heaven Burning in You Ling's hand, the Flame King's flames ignited again on You Ling's field. Using the Dapeng Phoenix on his field as firewood, it pounced fiercely on the target declared by You Ling - the ancient relic Death Scythe in Kiragu's backfield.

Through the raging fire, Jiragu could vaguely see the blurry face of the spirit wandering in the flames, which looked like a terrifying face of a world-destroying demon from a distance.

But compared to You Ling, whose eyes revealed determination, Jiragu on the opposite side had a strange expression - he just stared with his eyes wide open, his thick sausage mouth, and his expression was more of shock than repression. It was obvious that he didn't understand why You Ling chose the ancient relic Death Scythe that he had just put up in the backcourt.

After all, almost all Artifact Monsters have effects that are limited to once per turn. Whether they are special summoned due to being blown up or have abilities that are successfully special summoned, they can be activated multiple times in one turn. It's just that they are difficult to use multiple times due to problems with the deck itself - but if the opposing duelist helps, that's another matter.

For example, even if the Death Scythe that has just been placed on the field is destroyed by the effect of the Wandering Spirit, it can be Special Summoned again... As a card covered by a Magic or Trap Card, there are no restrictions on resurrection.

But by this point in the duel, Jiragul obviously knew that the opponent's Wandering Spirit was no good at all, and almost all of his operations had their reasons behind them... So, even though he couldn't understand, Jiragul's brain engine, which had been playing the Red Pit for a long time, was slowly started up, and began to run and think fiercely, brainstorming non-stop - as the saying goes, even players who have been drooling over the Red Pit decks for a long time will actually start up their brains when they are forced into a corner.

But unfortunately, the projection of the duel disk and the time limit given by the duel did not give him much time to think and activate his brain - in the next moment, the AI projection of the duel disk immediately started up, and the operations that would be carried out by both sides on the duel field were displayed as an animated projection.

Whether it was the special summoning effect of the ancient relic Death Scythe or the battle cry effect after transforming into a monster, Jiragu, as the user, vaguely remembered that they were even guaranteed to be activated, and they would be activated automatically without him, the duelist, having to say anything.

Thus, under the burning effect of Youling's Shentianshao, the Death Scythe, which was a magic trap, was destroyed and sent to the cemetery - but in contrast, the next moment, the Death Scythe, which was a monster, returned from the cemetery. With the rumbling sound of the ancient relic system core, the somewhat emaciated spirit body revived from the cemetery, carrying this huge sickle on its shoulders, and appeared again on the Kira Ancient Field in a rather strange posture.

In the countless duels that Jiragu had experienced before, this gloomy scythe of death had made countless duelists feel a desperate blockade and fear, and the back of the scythe holding the scythe naturally became the nightmare of countless duelists from the Super Academy - but this time, the object of fear was completely reversed... At this point in the duel, looking at the familiar scythe back that appeared on the field, it was Jiragu, the manipulator himself, who felt genuine fear.

Looking at this monster that was completely out of his control and popped out with the necessary effect under the operation of Youling, even though it was special summoned on his own field and the effect that took effect again was also aimed at the opponent's Youling, he still felt a sense of extreme panic as if he was being used by someone.

Thinking of this, Jiragu subconsciously lowered his head and looked at where his good big brother, Ryoga Kamishiro, was standing below the duel arena. Before, Ryoga Kamishiro, as the big brother, had told him many principles of dueling, and one of them was still fresh in Jiragu's memory... Ryoga once said that if you encounter a truly powerful duelist in a duel, his sense of oppression and control will even be so strong that he can use the opponent's monsters and cards to control the opponent's cards in turn.

——Standing against a duelist of this level, one would feel as if everything about oneself was being used by them, and even one’s loyal monsters had betrayed one.

——Now, when Jiragul looked at the Death Scythe on his field, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and completely experienced the feeling that Kamishiro Ryoga had described before.

Even in the next moment, You Ling opened his mouth and began to explain the effect of the monster Death Scythe on Jiragu's side, as if... to further confirm his panic.

"Then, according to the effect of your monster [Ancient Artifact: Death Scythe], after this Special Summon, I will not be able to Special Summon monsters from my Extra Deck..."

As he spoke, You Ling sneered and looked at Jiragu opposite him with indifferent eyes - because everyone present knew that with the Death Scythe already taking effect, You Ling's explanation was no different from a mockery.

——And what’s even more unimportant is that no matter whether the effect of the Death Scythe is activated or not, or how long the blocking effect lasts... You Ling’s turn is about to end anyway!

"——It doesn't matter what the effect of [Death Scythe] is... I hereby declare that my turn is over!"

So, somewhat unexpectedly, under the slightly shocked gaze of Jiraguna, You Ling chose to end the round with almost empty hands and an empty front field, facing two ancient relic monsters with more than 2000 attacks on his field.

Even at this moment, Jiragul realized that even though he'd been hit by his long-planned Ripple Shield, and all the monsters in attack position on the field were bounced back to the deck, Youling's expression didn't panic at all, and he still looked calm and composed... It was as if the expression of surprise he had shown when he saw the Ripple Shield earlier was all an act...

——Yes, it’s like it’s all fake… just acting.

Or perhaps it could be said that You Ling was not particularly surprised by the consequences of the ripple shield and the loss of all monsters on the field... His surprised expression just now was completely due to something else.

Up to now, despite Jiragul's efforts to turn the tide in the backfield, the duel situation has only returned to a state of parity, with both sides having no ammunition and no food... As he stretched out his right hand to his deck, preparing for his turn, a trace of panic inevitably flashed across Jiragul's heavy and solid expression.

——This is also a portrayal of the emotions of most red pit hell-style duelists like him during duels... They laugh and talk when the red pits are full at the beginning, and fall silent when the red pits are cleared in the middle and late stages.

Moreover, by now, the effects of the Flame King card on Youling's side that his good brother Shark had explained to him before the duel had almost been used up - now Jilagu was halfway into the so-called state of information exhaustion... Even leaving aside the intelligence, the fact that the previous Youling had already used it once, but there was actually a third hidden effect of the Flame King Sanctuary, had already made Jilagu fall into deep suspicion.

He was filled with doubt, even beginning to hesitate. He wondered if the opponent had some hidden effect yet to activate. Ryoga Kamishiro hadn't mentioned any effects on the previous image of Hanuman, the Flame King Beast. And then there was the confident expression on the opponent's face... All of this coalesced into a single thought, gradually forming in Jiragu's mind.

——"In this kind of duel, under the current circumstances, do I really still have a chance, a possibility of winning?"

In a panic, before drawing the cards, Kiragu looked at his good brother, the Shark Kamishiro Ryoga in the audience with a somewhat helpless look.

Then, the moment his eyes met with those of his good brother, who was also the de facto leader of the Seven Kings of Barian, Jiragu saw Shark's resolute and powerful eyes... and his slight nod towards him, which made him feel very reassured.

But at the same time, Jiragu clearly saw a flash of purple light in the eyes of Ryoga Kamishiro in the audience - and then he seemed to hear Ryoga Kamishiro's voice in the audience transcending the distance of space and ringing directly in his ears.

Those were mysterious words that inspired and gave his men strength—and Jiragu also saw Ryouga Kamishiro slowly raise his hand below the stage, and then the same purple light flashed in his eyes again.

By now, Shark could actually vaguely foresee the outcome of this duel - but even if he foresaw failure, as a duelist, he would not believe that his friend Kiragu would choose to fall here... and as the leader of the Seven Emperors and Kiragu's good brother, all he could do now was to give more power to his brother.

Then, the same words that had been spoken by Vector during the duel rang in Jiragu's ears. He heard the leader of the Seven Emperors, Nash, giving him power... the language between the Seven Emperors of Barian!

At the same moment, Jiragul suddenly noticed that the card at the top of his deck, right in his right hand, began to glow with an intense purple light... It was as if the card and the deck were calling out, telling him to draw it out and help him, the duelist, to win. Jiragul's mind instantly struck a powerful pose, almost instinctively—and with unwavering determination, he drew the top card from his deck!

——This move even has a name in the Yu-Gi-Oh anime that You Ling watched in his previous life...It's called "Barian Chaos Card Drawing"!

When You Ling on the opposite side saw this and saw this extremely familiar scene, he already felt something... He narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, as expected.

He was neither blind nor stupid. He had seen such a scene once before during his duel with Vector, and now it happened again on the same day. In any case, as someone who had watched anime, he could fully predict what was going to happen.

——But even so, You Ling's expression and mentality did not change at all... He simply looked at the other side coldly, and even wanted to laugh: "...Huh, that's it?"

You Ling narrowed his eyes, but he didn't look at Jiragu across from him. Instead, he looked at Ryoga Kamishiro below the duel arena: "Inka again... Humph, Ryoga Kamishiro, do you really think you can win like this?"

In the next second, Jiragu decisively pulled out the card filled with purple energy and slowly flipped it over, displaying it between heaven and earth. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be quite unfamiliar with this card, but when using it, his movements were as skillful as Vector before him.

As for this card, still warm from its fresh printing, brimming with violent purple energy, its name was naturally identical to the one Vector had used earlier...

"...Upgraded magic—【Sword of the Seven Emperors】!"

"According to this card's effect, after adding this card to my hand during the Draw Phase, I can choose to reveal it publicly from this moment on..."

"So, at the start of my Main Phase, I can directly Special Summon a monster numbered 101 to 107 from my Extra Deck to my side of the field, and directly Upgrade it..."

But just like Vector before him, at this moment, Jiragu seemed to feel the reassuring figure of a friend standing behind him, and at the same time, his friend's voice seemed to ring in his ears.

At this moment, Jiragu seemed to be bewitched by this voice and inspired by its full momentum. He almost saw the dawn of victory in this duel.

He looked at the Seven Emperors' Sword, brimming with dueling energy, and the Relic Monsters on his field. That's right, if I coordinated this way, once I summoned "that monster," its attack power alone would far exceed the opponent's acceptable range. I could...

At the same time, Jiragu suddenly felt the gaze and voice of his friend, Ryouga Kamishiro, behind him - for some reason, he became a little hesitant.

Then, he heard a disdainful snort coming from somewhere... probably from the wandering spirit on the opposite side.

Chapter 158: Friend's Card!

Feeling the hesitation of "that man" behind him, Jiragu subconsciously looked towards the source of power, that is, his elder brother, Ryoga Kamishiro... wondering if there was something wrong with his boss.

Then he happened to see that his boss Ryouga Kamishiro's younger sister, Shark Sister Ryouga Kamishiro, one of the Seven Emperors whom he also knew, was limping over and glaring at Ryouga Kamishiro. As for Shark Sister, as she walked into the duel arena, she also saw everything that was happening on the duel arena... She saw You Ling's empty-handed and empty-field empty defense state, and she also saw the card that Jiragul was showing in his hand - Upgraded Magic: Sword of the Seven Emperors.

Although logically speaking, Shark Sister had just come in and had not heard the explanation of the effects, so she should not have known what the Sword of the Seven Emperors was, but perhaps because she was also the reincarnation of the Seven Emperors, she understood what it was in an instant... At the same time, she immediately realized that the information she had seen on her mobile phone before that "You Ling was at a disadvantage" was not false, and the current situation seemed to be somewhat unfavorable to You Ling's side.

On one side, the arena was empty and looked like they were waiting to die, while on the other side, even something as shameless as the Sword of the Seven Emperors was printed out. Judging from the scene alone, without considering other factors, the situation on the duel field was even very obvious to others - so, Shark Sister, who had just arrived at the duel field and had no special understanding of the situation, really misunderstood it.

So, after frowning and glaring at Kamiyo Ryoga fiercely, she immediately turned her gaze and looked at the wandering spirit on the field with some worry.

However, as a result, Shark's expression became even more unpredictable - when Shark Girl rushed in, he was still having trouble breaking his passive, and he glared back with a very unhappy expression... But he was already unhappy about being glared at, and when he saw that Shark Girl didn't glare at him and turned to look at You Ling - he was even more unhappy.

Although Shark's expression was still good at this moment and looked not much different from before, his micro-expressions still revealed a lot - especially after seeing Shark Girl's worried look towards You Ling, he was visibly furious and his whole face was flushed.

But maybe because the shark had already divided its power with Jiragu and was unable to move, or because it had no way to deal with his sister, Jinshiro Rio - the only thing he could do was to stare at You Ling fiercely in impotent rage, and then looked angrily in Jiragu's direction... The meaning couldn't be more obvious, it was to tell Jiragu to hurry up! Kill You Ling!

Fortunately, no matter what, he had already conveyed what he should have conveyed to Jilagu. As a friend who had known Shark and the others for a long time and knew clearly what kind of people they were, Jilagu just shook his head and said in his heart, "What a great place to be appointed prime minister of the six countries." Then he put other people's family affairs aside and immersed himself in his beloved duel.

Then, he opened his mouth and almost roared, reaching for the Extra Deck: "Therefore, according to the effect of [Seven Emperors' Sword], after we enter the Main Phase 1, I can use the Extra Deck..."

Unexpectedly, even during the duel, all plans did not go as smoothly as he imagined... but were interrupted by the cold voice from the opposite side again.

"Hmph... Who told you that you can just enter the main stage one like this?"

The voice of You Ling coming from the opposite side was cold, ruthless and domineering, as if an emperor was sentencing Jilagu to death... Even from his tone, it sounded as if it was not Jilagu's turn at the moment, but You Ling's own turn.

At this moment, not only Jiragu was stunned, but even Shark Girl, who walked in from the audience with a worried look on her face, was also stunned.

It was also because the two of them were close to each other that they could clearly hear the confidence and straightforwardness in You Ling's voice... It was as if all the actions on Jiragu's side had no effect on him, and would only make him say "Clown, what are you doing?"

"When faced with adversity, they try to use the Seven Emperors' Sword to draw out Chaos Super Hundred NO monsters to turn the tables... I've seen enough of this kind of thing."

Facing the Balian symbol hanging above Jiragul's head—the card logo of the Seven Emperors' Sword—You Ling stood proudly, echoing, "Will you succeed so easily?... It's simple, I'll just blow them all up!"

——According to the card effect description of Sword of the Seven Emperors, although this card is revealed and activated the moment it is drawn, that is, during the Draw Phase...but its specific time of taking effect must wait until the beginning of the Main Phase, and the target monster will not be Special Summoned.

According to the rules of Yu-Gi-Oh, there is also the critical time point of the preparation stage - so, You Ling raised his right hand at this moment, not only interrupting the smooth series of effects of the Seven Emperors' Sword... but also seemed to interrupt Jiragul's road to victory!

"During your Standby Phase, first, the effect of the monster [Holy Flame King·Phoenix Phoenix] in my Graveyard... During the next Standby Phase after it is destroyed, return this card in the Graveyard to your hand!"

After the chicken's familiar chirp, an even louder phoenix cry rang out, seemingly resounding throughout the heavens and earth. "Then, at the same time, during the same preparation phase!"

"Activate the effect of [Flame King Divine Beast: Roc Phoenix]... During the next Standby Phase after it is destroyed, Special Summon this card from the Graveyard to your side of the field!"

The Nirvana flame representing resurrection once again ignited on the Youling field, announcing that the Flame King's sacred beast, the Phoenix, had returned to the field again - and Youling's gaze had now locked firmly on the two ancient relic monsters on the Kiragu field through the raging flames... the Death Scythe and the Hundred-Hit Bow!

As the flames of Nirvana gathered and formed on the Spirit Field, transforming into the form of the Great Phoenix, his effect announcement echoed across the Duel Field: "And at the moment of successful Special Summoning, the effect of [Great Phoenix] is activated... When this card is successfully Special Summoned by its own effect!"

"Destroy all monsters on the field except this card!"

As soon as You Ling finished speaking, blazing flames engulfed the entire place. Amid the resounding cries of the Peng Phoenix, the two ancient relic monsters, which had already transformed into spirits and had no physical bodies, could only be completely burned and destroyed by the flames of the Flame King - all the ancient relics were destroyed!

As the instigator of all this, You Ling still stood in the flames with a calm expression - in comparison, Jiragul opposite and Shark Sister who was worried about him just now seemed a little embarrassed.

Then, after this effect was processed, the Duel Disk AI had already advanced the duel to the next stage according to the rules - and at this moment, that is, the stage of the main stage one, the magic card Seven Emperors Sword that had just been activated burst out with a fierce purple light in the hands of Jiragul, and the Super Hundred NO monster... will break out of its shell at this moment and descend on the field!

Facing the dazzling purple light, You Ling's expression remained calm, as if everything was within his expectations. Judging from the situation and the expression of the opposing Jiragu, it was easy to judge his opponent's intention. He simply wanted to take advantage of the fact that both sides were exhausted and had few resources, and use the ancient relic monsters and the Super Hundred NO brought out by the Seven Emperors Sword to deplete his own health in one fell swoop.

But under the defense of the Phoenix on his field, all the ancient relic monsters have been cleared out - at the same time, relying on You Ling's understanding of the opposite Kiragu, he will use the Seven Emperors Sword to take out the Super 106 NO monster. If it is his NO. Giant Rock Palm and its upgraded monster, it will definitely not pose much threat to himself.

After all, that card was exactly like the deck that Jiragul was currently using. It was a pure suppression card, capable of negating all board effects—but quite weak in terms of kills and clearing the board...

——But based on the experience of the previous duels with the Seven Emperors, even You Ling could not predict 100% what these anime-style duelists on the opposite side would come up with.

So, the next moment, the monster that gathered and formed on the Jiragu field was indeed the same as the No. 106 Giant Rock Palm, with four levels before the upgrade and five levels after the upgrade... But it was not at all the Giant Rock Palm that You Ling had expected!

The Super Hundred No. 1, formed by the power of the Seven Emperors' Swords on the field of Kiragu, was the so-called "power of friends" used by his good brother, Youling, the first of the Seven Emperors, Alito...

——Its name is, [NO.105-Meteor Knuckle Boxer]!

And when the otherworldly characters representing 105 appeared and the Meteor Knuckle Fist descended upon the duel arena, under the influence of the Seven Emperors' Sword, the Chaos Vortex representing the Ultra Summoning and Leveling Up appeared once again—

"Descend, the power of my friend Harriet, who is temporarily unable to join this duel..."

As Jiragul shouted this, perhaps because his boss, Shark, had been distracted by Shark Girl, the Barian figure that appeared behind him was no longer the Barian leader, Nash, who had previously stood behind Vector. Instead, it was the Barian Seventh Emperor named Arit whom Youling had met earlier.

"CNO.105-Comet Knuckle Boxing Champion!"

CNO.105 - Comet Knuckle Boxing Champion Rank-5 Fire Attribute/Warrior ATK/2800

——That’s right, just as You Ling imagined, since the trump card used by Jiragul, the No. 106 Rock Palm and its upgraded version, is a monster that mainly suppresses and does not have much breakthrough ability... then in this situation, we have to use the friend card!

And at the moment after appearing on the field, before Kiragudu gave any orders, the monster CNO.105 on his field had already stretched out its blazing fist according to his eyes, aiming at the only monster on the Youling field... that is, the [Flame King Divine Beast·Roc Phoenix]!

It is said that when a duel reaches a certain level, the monsters in the deck will be able to communicate with the duelists, and the monsters will be able to understand the duelists' intentions without the duelists giving any orders first. Today, Jiragul has fully experienced this wonderful feeling.

Almost as soon as he opened his mouth to declare, the monster CNO.105 on his field had already moved: "According to the effect of [CNO.105 - Comet Knuckle Boxer], when this card has [NO.105 - Meteor Knuckle Player] as a Gyz Material, once per turn, you can remove one Gyz Material..."

"—Destroy a monster on the opponent's field!"
