The day before yesterday I was too late to play with my friends and poured 3 days of jet lag, I'm really sorry =-=

Thank you for the eternal sorrow of the true sorrow star, the other side of the passer-by, and the bee eater Misaki for the reward.

――――――――――

"I didn't expect that, you would be willing to add that kind of miscellaneous fish-like low-level monster to the deck......" Brand watched Li Bai insert the little white rabbit turned into a card into the duel plate, slightly surprised.

"With your level, it's impossible not to know what kind of impact it will have." She said, "With only 150 attack points, it has no effect, and its stats are pretty average...... The garrison power of 2050 points is quite rare, but this point has no advantage in front of the soul tiger who is also a monster, it is also a mortal bone of the earth attribute, and the garrison of the soul tiger has reached 2100, and it only has Lv4, which can be summoned directly. ”

“…… You say so, it looks like we have a soul tiger in our deck? Li Bai lifted the dueling disc and looked at the deck that was inserted into it, and his eyelids jumped.

It's not good news that she's completely behind her opponent in terms of deck intelligence - it's not that she's afraid that the other party will cheat, and Nalofa's arrogance, even if the other party is just a wisp of her memory, it's impossible to plot against her in this kind of indiscriminate tactics, but ...... After all, these cards were collected by the other party, and after they passed it once, they already had an unequal information gap when they came up, which was unavoidable, as if they were born.

"Maybe it's me, maybe it's yours." Brand didn't care about this, perhaps in her opinion, being willing to give the other party such an opportunity was already a manifestation of magnanimity, she raised her left arm and raised her eyebrows: "It's the same...... Why should I care about your stubbornness? ”

"If you are not stubborn and do not adhere to any principles, you may not have such an impact on me, so you can add it if you want." She smiled, "But I'll also add one condition - if you lose, don't hide from me anymore and come to me with Molana." ”

"Almost everything I do, whether directly or indirectly, is related to you and almost all of it is for you...... I'm not going to force you anything until I succeed, but, at least......"

"Let's see each other again, shall we."

Li Bai's face darkened.

"No one knows the outcome until the outcome is out." She lowered her head, a little afraid to look at the other party's eyes at this moment, "Let's talk about it after the fight." ”

"Then I'm on!" Seeing Li Bai's dodging gaze, a ray of light flashed under the brand's eyes, "I'll attack first!" ”

did not immediately express his refusal, at least it means that Li Bai still has a trace of attachment to her in his heart, representing her...... In other words, the ontology is not without chance.

Let me prove it to you...... Shiro, I am not the demon who only knows how to be violent in the past, I will defeat you in your strongest field, and then conquer you!

"Knight of the End, attack means usually summoned!"

Drawing out the sixth card, the brand immediately picked out a card from his hand and slapped it on the duel plate, and with a "snap", the black-armored knight that Li Bai had seen several times reappeared, the only difference was that the war horse was missing.

"Knight of the End!?" Li Bai was stunned, she thought that the random selection was only for those wild lifeforms, but she didn't expect that those black knights would also be included.

Trouble, since someone in the final necromancer was immediately extracted, there should be no doubt about the purpose of this monster's coming down......

"Activate the effects of the Knight of the End." Brand draws out the deck and unfolds, picking out a card from it, "This card can only be activated when the summon, reverse summon, and special summon are successful: choose a dark monster from the deck and discard it to the graveyard." ”

"Of course I'm going to choose this guy." She flipped the picked card so that it was facing Li Bai directly, "Necromantic Guardian!" ”

[Necromantic Guardian]: Dark/Warrior, LV3, Attack: 600, Garrison: 1300; Effect: This card that stores your own graveyard is activated from the game. The opponent's monster attack only has 1 ineffective attack.

"It's not like you're always going to be busy building defenses when you come up." Li Bai raised his eyebrows, "Are you afraid, afraid that I am standing in front of you who can be said to be in the worst state than before?" ”

Li Bai attaches great importance to this duel, and attaches great importance to it, although she has never dueled with her opponent, but her sixth sense tells her that if she has the slightest idea of underestimating the enemy in her heart, she will also suffer a fiasco.

Therefore, it is natural to put on an attitude toward opponents at the same level -- psychological warfare and temptation, and we must not be left behind.

But she was destined to be an accident, because her opponent was surprisingly honest.

"yes, I'm scared of you." Brand smiled, "I'm well aware that our identities in this realm need to be reversed, yes...... I'm a challenger with no track record, and you're undefeated in an official competition, shouldn't I be cautious? ”

(Damn it, it seems impossible to expect her to make mistakes by underestimating the enemy, this type of unarrogant, possessed of some strength, and focused on steady play is not easy to deal with, and I must not show her any flaws.) ）

Li Bai bit her lower lip, grabbed the gap between battles and glanced at the cards in her hand, her mind quickly thinking about the method of rotation, in the process, her left hand holding the card kept making contact with her right hand, exchanging card positions in an irregular order.

This style of constantly handing hands in duels is something she's only picked up in recent years - she feels that if she can keep doing so while still looking at her opponent in a comprehensive way, calculating hand combo combinations and instantly substituting the number of opponents' moves into her mind to continue the calculation, she will definitely be able to train herself more effectively. The ability to react, calculate, and predict the situation in a short period of time can be improved. In addition, if the enemy activates the card with the effect of the opponent's card removal, this can also play a role in confusing the enemy for a certain period of time, and if the opponent's willpower is insufficient, then maintaining this behavior may also cause great pressure on the opponent.

When your opponent is always shuffling his hand very frequently, can make the most correct response in the fastest time for each of your moves, and at the same time can play cards at an unthinking speed during his turn, and you find that the cards played are the most reasonable in terms of order and timing - at such a time, can you still calmly stick to your habit of thinking about each move for a few seconds or a dozen seconds and trying to be cautious to fight? Is it really possible not to be affected by some kind of pressure?

The answer is no, at least for most people.

Faced with this situation, a small number of gifted people and those with enough experience can calm down and maintain their rhythm, but a larger number of people will be disrupted. They may feel ...... His slower thinking and playing of cards reflects the disparity in computing power between the two sides, which will lead to an unequal battle between them...... Then, because of such thoughts, I put more and more psychological pressure on myself, and subconsciously forced myself to speed up the pace, completely ignoring the fact that such a rash acceleration would significantly increase my error rate.

(Actually, it's just a kind of psychological warfare, a trick to scare people, ah...... This guy wasn't fooled, he just glanced at it, and it was really a cold reaction. ）

After finding that he did not cause any pressure on the other party, Li Bai pursed his lips and slowed down the frequency of cutting and washing, and the opponent was indifferent, so there was little need to continue.

This duel was important, and she didn't want to be the first to make a mistake because she stubbornly maintained this kind of behavior - that would be ridiculous, and she could do it with another session to deepen her practice, and there was no need to risk it now.

Li Bai's gaze focused on the groove of the cemetery where the dueling disc was imprinted.

She understands that her dominance of the duel is gradually being lost.

The summoning of the Knight of the End involves many, many things, and it is far more than just a pile of graves at once. Its controller can unfold his deck to view it while exercising its effects, which is nothing originally, but don't forget, this is a special duel.

These cards are collected randomly, and the brand has an understanding of the 80 cards in the process of collecting cards, but when they are cut and divided into two parts, it is impossible for her to know what the 40 cards that belong to her are included, which is the same as Li Bai.

But the effect of the Knight of the End completely destroys this "sameness".

As she unfolds her deck's search for effect targets, she can browse through the contents and calculate the tactical ideas of the entire deck in combination with her hand - and because she has an impression of all 80 cards, she will be able to see through the contents of the Li Bai deck.

It's like two slices of bread stacked on top of each other, one is taro and the other is whole wheat.

…… Elementary school students can complete this kind of calculation.

In the eyes of Lilith and the wide-eyed onlookers, the brand was nothing more than a wave of his hand, creating a black knight...... Lilith looked more, and she knew it was a normal summoning, a precise grave of direction.

But none of them could detect the sinister undercurrent that lurked behind this simple operation.

The intelligence information in the hands of both sides is no longer equal.

"I can see that you can't be called lucky during the time I've been away from you." Brand felt Li Bai's gaze, and smiled, "But this time is an exception, the most practical card is in your hand." ”

"No matter how powerful something is, if it can only sleep in the deck, there is no difference between having it and not having it." Li Bai's heartstrings moved slightly, and he couldn't help but look at the hand he had memorized by heart again.

Which card is the most useful in my deck? What could it be? Can I draw it?

Although she knew that this was just the other party's psychological disturbance battle, she also wanted to be indifferent, but the weakened soul's control of the mind could no longer be perfect, and inevitably, she moved a trace of undeserved thoughts.

“…… Well!? As soon as this thought was provoked, a pinprick stinging pain quickly came from Li Bai's mind, and his thoughts instantly returned to coldness, and the absolute reason that should have dominated her body appeared at this time, soothing her slightly chaotic feelings.

(It's the crown that helps me.) ）

She knows it.

After several years of cultivation, Li Bai knew about the existence of the crown, and she also knew that it was not the first time that similar help had appeared. Victories in several key battles are closely related to this help.

After Li Bai came to her senses, she felt incredible for the first time, because her own psychological offensive had no effect, but she was almost put on a swing by her opponent?

"Your soul is too weak compared to mine, and it is better for you to refrain from thinking like that again, so far apart." Brand looked at her with a look of pity and shook his head slowly, "It won't have any effect, I promise." ”

"You damn it-" Teeth clenched unconsciously, and Li Bai was almost aroused by this sentence again, but the stinging pain in her mind stopped her again.

(She uses both words and eyes as a distraction...... I can't be influenced by her anymore. ）

(My soul is weaker than hers, even if she is not the essence of Nelofa...... If I make a mistake, I can't imagine that there will be such a hidden danger in the weakening of the soul, and it is not a wise move to fight her to the death, so I had better ignore her "nonsense" as much as possible and only focus on the information about the battle situation. ）

"The love xù calmed down so quickly, and that crown is helping you?" Brand frowned, obviously thinking of the troublesome feeling the crown had left her with the last time they met.

"But it doesn't matter...... This way of fighting is protected by the law, and you can only rely on it to adjust your emotional state and make every move the best. Now, knowing what you know about your deck and your opponent's deck is enough for you, and I can use this time to build an unshakable hard advantage. Speaking of this, a hazy overlap suddenly appeared on the face that originally belonged to the female knight, and a face that was unusually similar to Li Bai was torn out with excitement and a half-blurred attitude.

"You !?" Li Bai looked at the distorted face in shock, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

It was her own face—the face of Nelofa that had awakened her so many times in nightmares!

The world seemed to turn into an inverted color in an instant, Li Bai's mind was blank, she slowly stretched out her right hand towards that face, and her reflection appeared in her two bright red eyes.

“Fire……”

"When the gap is so big that any struggle of the other party is in vain - you also taught me this sentence! White! The torn face lasted only a few seconds before disappearing, and the brand laughed and played another card from his hand.

"Magic card activation, bitter choice!"

【Bitter Choice】Usual Magic: The deck selects 5 cards to show the opponent. The other party chooses 1 of these cards. The cards chosen by the other party are added to their own cards, and the other cards are discarded and sent to the graveyard.

This is a god card with a pile of tombs, if you follow the environment that Li Bai experienced before coming to this world, it is undoubtedly a forbidden card, but in this era of the pot of strong desire and the alms of angels, the appearance of this card seems to be a matter of course.

"Bitter choice...... "Silly withdrew the hand stretched out before, Li Bai used his hand to cover the lower half of his face, his eyes were still staring at the branded face, "Indeed...... Bitter enough. ”

She actually hallucinated at that moment just now, thinking that the enemy standing on the opposite side was still just the person who could make her feel at ease and entrust Yiqiē.

"The biggest role of this card is naturally to pile up tombs on a large scale, as well as to control zhì card decks and tandem hands." Brand took out the deck again and unfolded it, his eyes slowly moving on each card, "But now, because the hard conditions of the deck are insufficient, I can only use it to compress the deck." ”

"The five cards I chose are these!" She took back the card deck, and the five cards she picked out separately turned into magnified phantoms and appeared above her head, so that Li Bai could see clearly even if he was far away.

[Dark Demon]: Dark/Demon, LV2, Attack: 500, Garrison: 500; Effect: Reversal: When this card is sent to the graveyard, you and the opponent each choose 1 monster in their own graveyard, and the attack on the side of the table or the guard on the inside indicates a special summon to play.

[Sandstone Monster]: Earth/Rock, LV5, Attack Power: 1300, Garrison Power: 1600; History: Monsters made of sand and gravel are adept at popping up from below and attacking with rough tentacles.

[Samsara Tengu]: Wind/Beast Warrior, LV4, Attack: 1700, Garrison: 600; Effect: When this card leaves the field, it summons 1 "Samsara Tengu" from the deck.

[Desert Guardian]: Earth/Insect, LV4, Attack: 800, Garrison: 1000; Effect: The number of Magic and Trap Cards stored in this card is × 300. When the insect clan monster that you have stored on your own field is destroyed, you can use it as a substitute to destroy this card.

[Desert Tornado]: Wind/Demon, LV6, Attack: 2400, Garrison: 2000; Effect: This card cannot be summoned normally. You can only summon 2 wind type monsters and 1 ground type monster from the game except for your own graveyard. You can discard 1 Hand Card to destroy 1 Magic Trap Card on the field. This effect can only be used once per turn.

"Come, choose." Brand stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture, "The card you picked out will become my hand, and the rest will be sent to the cemetery, don't get confused." ”

“…… I don't need you to explain it to me. Knowing that it was just a provocation, Li Bai restrained her feelings, she narrowed her eyes and carefully analyzed the five cards in the void.

If she wants to close the gap between each other's previous intelligence, this large-scale grave pile is a rare opportunity for her, and by analyzing these five cards, she can more or less come up with some imprints' next plans.

But it's not easy.

Of the five cards, four are effect monsters and one is a normal monster.

There are two earth attributes, two wind attributes, and one dark attribute.

There are two demon clans, a rock clan, an insect clan, and an orc warrior clan.

It looks messy and unrelated.
