This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

[Attack/Defense: 1200/900]

After summoning the monster, You Shuo immediately launched an attack.

"Armed Dragon Lv3 attacks Harpie Girl".

"At that moment, I activated the equipment card - Sudden Wind Fan!"

"Increases the attack power of Armored Dragon Lv3 by 400 and decreases its defense power by 200!"

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Gorgeous Harpy

Under the current rules, any spell card can be activated at any time.

Even equipped magic cards can be used during the battle phase.

Armed Dragon Lv3's attack power is only 1200, which is 100 points less than Harpie. However, with the appearance of the equipment card - Sudden Wind Fan, Armed Dragon Lv3's attack power instantly increased to 1600, successfully surpassing it!

Seeing this, Peacock Dance smiled with a hint of disdain. Without even glancing at the card, she flipped over one of the face-down cards on the table:

"Use equipment cards in battle?"

"Unfortunately, I'm more familiar with this tactic than you are."

"The instant you attacked, I activated the Equipment Magic Card—Electronic Bodysuit!"

"The Harpy will gain a 500-point attack power bonus!"

"Furthermore, attacks during combat will be additionally imbued with lightning attributes!"

"Beep beep beep beep————"

[Harpie Girl, Attack Power: 1300 → 1800]

The Peacock Dance deck is a completely single-core strategy.

As a wind-attribute bird-beast monster, Harpie possesses the ability to fly, which allows her to counter non-flying monsters in battle, granting her a 30% bonus to attack power.

The equipment cards prepared by the Peacock Dancer can not only directly increase the Harpie Girl's attack power, but also add various additional attributes to her.

The electronic bodysuit is imbued with lightning properties.

Rose Whip has an additional earth attribute.

With the support of various equipment cards, Harpie Girl will have a very wide range of weaknesses and be able to suppress the vast majority of monsters!

"Lightning attribute?" You Shuo said. "According to the rules, wind attribute monsters are at a disadvantage when fighting against lightning attribute monsters."

"However, Armed Dragon Lv3 is a dragon monster."

"In any battle, dragons are never at a disadvantage."

Peacock Mai's lips curled up slightly: "You're right, but without relying on the restraint relationship, just relying on pure attack power, Harpie Lady is enough to defeat your Armored Dragon Lv3."

"Is that so?" You Shuo smiled as well.

Kong Quewu was stunned for a moment.

Yu Shuo then revealed a magic card, which was the rare magic card he had just obtained from Yugi Muto on the deck—Upgrade Transformation.

"Spell Card - Upgrade Transformation," You Shuo said. "Evolve Armed Dragon Lv3 into Armed Dragon Lv5!"

Under the current rules, a monster remains the same monster after it evolves. This means that even if it evolves into Armed Dragon Lv5, the equipment cards on Armed Dragon Lv3 will not be sent to the graveyard as they would be under the OCG rules.

You Shuo opened the Duel Monsters app that he had downloaded on his phone beforehand and displayed the information about Armed Dragon Lv5.

Unfortunately, duel disks are not yet widely available, so without duel platforms, this is the only way he can use it.

【Armed Dragon Lv5】

【Five stars】

[Wind Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2400/1700]

Seeing that exaggerated attack power, Kong Que Wu's eyes trembled.

"What?!"

"There are even magic cards that can directly evolve monsters?!"

"Tsk..."

Armed Dragon Lv5 already has more attack power than Harpie Girl, not to mention it also has the added benefit of an equipment card.

But Mai Kongque merely raised an eyebrow and deftly flipped over another face-down card: "Hmph, if that's the case, then I'll activate the second face-down card—"

"Perpetual Trap Card! Mirror Screen!"

"As long as this card is on the field, when your opponent's monster attacks, negate that attack and halve its ATK!"

The Mirror Wall of the Silver Screen: An extremely powerful and rare card from an old-fashioned environment!

The effects of the screen mirrors in this era are vastly different from those in the OCG environment.

Not to mention the ability to launch an invalid attack, it doesn't even require paying LP at the start of each round to maintain.

With the Peacock Dance Continuous Trap Card revealed, Armed Dragon Lv5's attack was completely neutralized, and its attack power dropped from 2800 to 1400.

"Heh heh, didn't expect that, did you~"

The peacock danced, her red lips curving into a seductive smile.

"Soon, your dragon will suffer!"

Currently, Armed Dragon Lv5's combat power is not as good as Harpie Girl's.

But You Shuo wasn't worried at all. He put down two face-down cards and calmly ended his turn.

Peacock Dance drew a card, a sharp smile on her face: "Hmph, then it's my turn. Draw a card!"

"Equip the Harpy with the magic card - Rose Whip!"

"Increases the Harpie's attack power by 300, and adds an additional earth attribute to her attacks!"

"It's about to start."

"Harpie Girl! Attack Armored Dragon Lv5!"

If this attack succeeds, You Shuo will suffer 700 points of combat damage.

In an era when LP was only 2000, this was a devastating blow.

At that moment, Yu Shuo revealed his face card, and he used the Armed Dragon as a ritual offering to summon a new monster.

"Ritual Spell Card activated—The Treant's Ritual!"

"Sacrifice the Armored Dragon Lv5".

"Ritual Summoning—"

"Elven Sorcerer - Treant!!"

"According to the current duel rules, this attack is invalid because your target has disappeared."

【Elven Sorcerer - Treant】

【Samsung】

[Light Attribute/Mage Race]

Attack/Defense: 1200/1400

Peacock Dance was completely unconcerned; with an air of utter detachment, she arrogantly declared:

"Then I activate the Spell Card—Kaleidoscope: Magnificent Clone!"

"Turn the Harpy into three!"

"The Harpie Sisters!!"

Kaleidoscope: Magnificent Clone is the core card in the Harpie deck.

Not only will the two newly summoned Harpy be perfectly replicate all the states of the first one, but they are not even derivatives; they are true monsters!

In other words, with just one card, Mai Peacock created two Harpy Girls on the field with 2100 attack power and additional Lightning and Earth attributes on their attacks.

Even if you can't win by emptying your LP right away, you can quickly gather five attack position monsters on the field and launch a final attack to win!

"Right now, I have two monsters on my field that haven't attacked yet!" Mai Kongque declared loudly. "Yu Shuo, your method of dodging attacks is pointless!"

"How dare they allow a monster with an attack power of only 1200 to exist under the guise of attack?"

"Then you'd better take this hit!"

"The Harpie Girl attacks that ritual monster!"

Kong Quewu thought she had the duel in the bag, but when she looked up and looked closely, she found You Shuo still calmly smiling.

"Peacock Dance, you're oversimplifying things."

You Shuo calmly played the second face-down card.

"Your Harpy cannot defeat my elven sorcerer, Treant."

"Because the Elemental Mage Treant's attributes can be simultaneously applied to all five elements: Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Light!"

"As long as it's paired with this card."

"This will allow you to increase your attack power while simultaneously countering your monsters!"

"Ultimately, the elven mage, Treant, who has gained the advantage of being countered, will surpass the harpy in attack power!"

Chapter Forty: The Apricots That Came Up Secretly

"What?!"

Five attributes?!

Kong Quewu's expression changed drastically.

As a seasoned Duel Monsters player, this was the first time she had ever heard of a monster card with such a special ability.

Earth, fire, wind, water, light...

Having five attributes means that this monster can gain an advantage in most battles.

Although relying solely on elemental attributes to counter Harpie is insufficient, since Harpie is a wind-attribute bird-beast monster, she is essentially only countered by lightning-attribute attacks.

but……

You Shuo activated an Equipment Spell Card!

Peacock Dance's gaze fell on the card that You Shuo had flipped over from the back row.

That's a special equipment card for the Mage race - the Magic Wand!

In the current era, powerful spell cards are few and far between, and even players who don't specialize in using Spellcaster monsters know the effects of most of them.

In addition to granting 500 ATK to the equipped Spellcaster monster and allowing you to draw a card by sending this card and the equipped monster to the Graveyard, the Magic Wand also allows Spellcaster monsters to launch special attacks based on their Attribute.

For example, light-attribute mages can also choose to unleash lightning-attribute attacks; water-attribute mages can use ice in addition to regular water-attribute attacks; and earth-attribute mages can choose between plant-based and rock-based attacks...

The spirit mage, Treant, summoned by You Shuo possesses five attributes. Combined with the Magic Wand, she can basically possess almost all special attack types in the entire Duel Monsters universe!

Kong Quewu's face immediately turned ugly.

You Shuo said with a faint smile, "After receiving the blessing of the Magic Wand, the attack power of the Elf Sorcerer Treant will be increased to 1700."

"Furthermore, under the effect of the Magic Wand, I can make the Elf Sorcerer Treant unleash a lightning attack of the light attribute."

"Lightning attacks are effective against both wind and bird-beast attacks. In any case, your Harpy will be at a disadvantage!"

"According to the rules, the elven mage Treant, who has the advantage of being countered, will receive a 30% attack power bonus."

"In the end, her attack power was 2210."

"Just over the Harpie's 2100 attack power."

Staring in shock at the cards before her, Peacock Dance's beautiful face flushed red and then turned pale.

She stared wide-eyed, utterly unable to accept this outcome.

As a proud professional gamer, and given the special significance the Harpie held for her, she could not accept that the Harpie was destroyed in battle.

but……
