Chapter 35: Kill the suspense and the entrusted card
"No need." Just as she was about to go downstairs, a voice from the city stopped her.
"I'm throwing in the towel."
Jonai closed his eyes and said something that surprised everyone.
"Within the city?" Li Bai stopped preparing to go downstairs, turned around and stared at him with wide eyes, a little unable to accept that he would win without a fight.
Didn't he need that bonus to save Shizuka's eyes?
Why give up here......
Even if the other party didn't win against her once, Li Bai never thought that Chengnai would take the initiative to admit defeat here.
"Within the city!" The game looked at him in the same puzzlement, and among the others, only Peacock Dance did not show any surprised expression, and the blonde woman was staring intently at the castle, her eyes full of complexity.
"I was ...... I hate seahorses very much. Chengnei looked at Li Bai levelly, and his eyes flickered.
Even knowing that he had come to the island for his brother, that perception had only improved slightly...... What really makes me admire him is that he would rather give up all his advantages and stun you into the city alone. ”
"It's not like I'm completely ignorant of thinking, Bekas has magical powers, and can even pull out other people's souls and seal them into other objects, I think...... The Seahorse's defeat is not much better. ”
"So I thought about it last night." He reached into his pocket, took out a card and handed it to Li Bai.
"You seem to need it more than I do......"
That is the glory of the king's right hand.
Cards that symbolize huge prizes are one of the essential qualifications to challenge Bekas.
“…… You're wrong, Jonai. The girl interrupted him.
"From the very beginning, it was very incompatible to put me in the semi-finals because I, like my brother, was not a regular player."
As she spoke, Li Bai looked up at Bekas, who also looked at her with a smile on his face, as if he didn't care at all what she said.
As the game said to the castle before, Li Bai and his contest is indeed something to be put on another level, and now that things have come to this point, take 10,000 steps back...... Even if Li Bai loses to the game next, he will have to forcibly leave her to fight again - this is the new requirement of the Big Five, without which he will not be able to obtain the full virtual projection technology.
"We're not here to win this game...... I just want to defeat Becas and take back what is rightfully theirs, so I don't need that kind of qualification. ”
"Leave it, castle...... As a testament to your courage! ”
Li Bai stuffed the card back into the other party's hand, stared into his eyes and said...... I don't know if it's an illusion, but just now she seemed to see the back of a swordsman in blue and white armor.
"Don't forget the jì...... You're going to have to rely on it to get a prize from me. ”
"White?" The castle looked at the girl in disbelief.
Did she mean ......?
“…… So, Katsuya Jonai abstained in the second game of the semifinals? Is that so? Becas rose from his main seat on the high platform and took two steps forward to look down.
"Indeed!"
"Castle ...... You idiot, do you know what you're doing? Honda couldn't help it, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go up and smoke him, but was pulled by Mo Liang behind him.
"Do you forget that you are automatically disqualified by using force in a match! Honda! Apricot whispered a warning in his ear, although she was also anxious, but she had not yet lost her mind.
"Then even if his abstention is not allowed, he will not be able to participate......"
"I can see the light in your heart." Becas put down his hand to pull his hair, and his gaze was no longer as stern and cold as before, but with a tone of approval.
"You're not an escapist...... Sometimes it's harder to choose backwards than forwards, and your courage to make such a choice at such a moment is commendable...... Well, as the organizer of this contest, I pass your request! ”
"The results of the two qualifiers are out, the game boy, and the Flame Girl, you can start."
When the announcement was done, he returned to his seat and sat down, and leisurely crossed Erlang's legs.
"The winner will get the right to challenge me? Keep up the good work! ”
…… It's not very likely, but I'm going to say - don't just lose here, Flame Girl?
Becas watched the two duelists sit down below, Li Bai's mystery he learned from Yuan Du, but Yuan Du didn't know much, except for the vaguely engraved on the baby package at that time to identify the word "light flame", only the other party was from another world.
So he wasn't as surprised as others thought the girl would have a card that he didn't make, and in Bekas's opinion, it might have been something from another dimension at all.
“…… How do you feel about me again? Game. ”
Li Bai held his deck of cards in his hand and handed them to the game, preparing to routinely shuffle the cards with each other.
"Insist on what I said...... That is, the promise that you don't need the blue-eyed white dragon is actually not good news. The game smiled wryly, took the girl's deck, and handed his card in the other hand.
For the Light Path Dragon, he still doesn't have a clue, his deck is balanced and adaptable, there is no means to suppress the opponent all the time, it is simply unrealistic to completely stop the tomb pile effect of the Light Path Monster, and once he can't effectively control that effect, the situation will inevitably be pulled back by the opponent little by little - he doesn't even know when he will lose in an instant!
What a terrible tactic that turns the garbage time of the end phase into an art ...... Thinking about the game as he shuffled the deck, he was a little depressed to find that he might lose faster after leaving the dueling board mode.
“…… Duel!! ”
"I'll attack first!" The girl drew a card and glanced at the cards she had added to her hand.
"Summons Janice, the priestess of the path of light, and puts her on guard."
【Priest of Light - Janice】Attribute/Light,Race/Magician,Level/4,Attack/300,Garrison/2100;The effect of a card with the name of the Light Path will send the card from the deck to the graveyard at the end of the round, giving the opponent 500 damage and recovering 500 base points for yourself.
A purple-blue diamond-shaped rune appeared, and the priestess appeared on the table with a half-length vermilion scroll, similar to Lila's outfit, but the style was changed to a priest's robe, and the position of the pattern and gold rim was more solemn.
"Then stamp the next card, and the round is over."
This monster was read by name the last time it increased the power of the Light Path Dragon...... Now it doesn't seem to be a monster with a discarding effect, so why summon her on the first turn?
The game drew his own cards, and after thinking about it, he decided to send the monster down first.
"Summon the Dark Knight Gaia!"
【Dark Knight Gaia】Attribute/Land,Race/Warrior,Level/7,Attack/2300,Garrison/2100;Elite knights riding a swift steed like a wind, be especially careful of his quick assault.
The Dark Knight reappeared with the neighing of his horse under his hips, and he looked at the half-crouching priestess opposite, and defiantly waved the two small riding spears in his hand at her.
"Dark Knight Gaia is on attack! Let's fight! I use Gaia to attack the Priest of Light! ”
"Open the card that covers the field." Li Bai uncovered the fold, "Gravity lifted!" ”
[Gravity Lifting] Usual Trap: Change the representation of all the monsters on the side of the table on the field between yourself and the opponent.
"Because of how effective it is...... At this moment, the representations of all the monsters on the field must be changed! ”
The Dark Knight, who was about to start the charge, suddenly changed, and helplessly leaned down on his horse, and he himself crossed his two spears in front of his chest; The priestess, on the other hand, stood up from a half-crouched position, and Janice shook her emerald staff at the opposite side, and now it was her turn to provoke the other party.
“…… End of round. "In this situation, there is no good way for the game to end its own round.
There is no folding...... Be cautious if you can't see the hidden chain reaction after this move, Li Bai hooked the corners of her mouth, she could already foresee how victory was getting closer and closer to her step by step.
"Draw cards...... At the cost of sending 3 cards from the top of the cover to the graveyard, I unleashed the Magic Card Light Reinforcements: Irene, the Monk of Light Path, from the deck, to my hand. And then summon Erin like that! ”
A dark-haired girl with slightly dark skin appeared on the table wearing a bold martial arts uniform that had been changed, with bright red runes under her feet, a bright red hem hanging from her waist, the shoulder pads and sleeves of the samurai suit were changed by herself, and the biggest color block on her body was to take a few bright red hems, which made her main color not look like white.
[Light Path Warrior Monk - Erin] Attack Power: 1600
"I use Erin to attack the Dark Knight." Li Bai gave the order to attack.
“…… With a monster with an attack power of 1600, it actively attacks Gaia, which has a defense of 2100, and it also has a special ability, right? ”
The game is starting to feel something isn't quite right now, this time the situation is completely different from the last time, like Zhang's cobwebs that are slowly tightening, and he is breathless.
"That's right, Erin when she attacked the monster that the guard was indicating...... Returns the monster to its owner's deck before damage is determined! ”
As soon as the words fell, the black-haired and dark-skinned girl quickly ran to the Dark Knight, stared at the other party for a moment, and then saw her left leg step forward with a standard roundhouse kick under Gaia's crotch, and the Dark Knight, who had eaten the blow, flew up with the horse and fell into the game's deck and disappeared.
…… Because of this set of cobom, did you send the Priest of Light who had 2100 defense but didn't lose the card effect before? She knew that I was going to try to clean up the light path monsters as much as possible to prevent her from losing cards quickly...... That's why I used the Light Path Priest to force out the monster with an attack power of more than 2100 in my hand...... What a calculation!
The game watched Erin run back to his place without saying a word, the scene seemed to have lost control from the beginning, and he now felt that victory was getting farther and farther away from him.
"Then change Janice back to the guard sign, and the round is over."
"At this point, Erin's effect is activated, and at the end of each turn, Erin's controller must send 3 cards from the top of the deck to the graveyard." The girl unveils 3 cards from the top of the deck.
"At the same time, Janice's effect activated."
"Every time a card with a card with a light path in its name is effected, at the end of the round when the card is sent from the deck to the graveyard, Janice can deal 500 LP damage to the opponent and restore 500 LP to her side."
The priestess raised the emerald scepter in her hand, and two distinct green rays flashed, the sharp one hitting the game, and the gentle one running towards the girl.
Muto Game LP-500 - 1500
Li Bai LP+500-2500
Such an addition and subtraction is a 1000-point LP gap!
"And then it's not over yet......," Li Bai took out the Light Path Rapier from the card he had just sent to the cemetery, "This card can be directly equipped on Erin because it was sent to the graveyard." ”
"This will increase Erin's attack power to 2300 points!"
"To me...... Is that what you're ultimately aiming for......" The game draws a card, and he seems to be a little more conservative in his previous opinion.
If you allow the Lightway Priest and other Lightpath cards to be saved, you don't need the Lightway Dragon to appear, and the LP difference between him and the opponent will continue to widen...... until they lose.
You have to find a way...... However, he currently doesn't have any cards in his hand that can completely defeat this combination - the Priestess's defense and the Monk's attack power are both above 2000 points, and he can only knock out one of them with the Demon Summoning in his hand.
That's exactly what Li Bai meant.
Using this combination to set up obstacles, Janice's effect does not need to be much, and she can open up the LP gap of 1000 points in just one time, and because of this, the priestess will definitely become the primary target, so that Erin can be left at least two rounds to pile up the grave safely, and when the other party tries to solve them, she will suddenly find out that this is actually an act of digging her own grave...... Yes, Gragunis is already in her hands.
The game was not unjustly lost, there were reasons for the deck, there were tactical reasons, and even more intelligence reasons - he didn't fully know all the tactics of the girl, and Li Bai knew almost everything about his deck.
"Actually, I took advantage of a lot?" Li Bai clapped his hands and began to clean up the cards on the table.
The whole game was uneventful, compared to the first encounter before, this battle game completely fell into the upper hand, and there was no profit at all, and the only opportunity to reduce LP...... That is, the demon's summoning attack was given to the priest of the path of light, which no one could have predicted except for Bekas and the maiden herself.
“…… I'm not going to say those sensual things anymore. "The game picks up the rest of the deck, unfolds it and picks out one of them," Grandpa once said...... If you advance to the finals, this card will be handed to you. ”
“!?” Li Bai was shocked by his actions.
What kind of plane does that old man do on Double Six...... Continue to send cards after the incident of the blue-eyed white dragon?
There is no system to arrange any tasks this time......
Puzzled, she reached out and took the card, and the girl took it closer to look closer.
"It's ...... Ritual of Chaos? ”
"Don't look at me like that...... I don't quite understand what that means. The game waved his hand, then looked straight and said, "Although I had a hunch, since this is really the result, then ......"
"White ...... Defeat Bekas! ”
"Of course...... If you don't say that, I'll do it too," Li Bai looked into the game's eyes and made a guarantee.
It's just that now it's not just for Keihei and Seahorse, but also for you and Jonai's trust, and I'm going to fight together with your faith!
The girl nodded at the second floor looking at her castle, and then looked up again at the host, who had once again risen from his seat.
She stretched out her right index finger and hooked it at the other party, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Come down, Bekas." ”
“…… It's our turn. ”
