Chapter 291: Guardian Knight

[Card Name: Cursed Giant—Helmers]

[Rank: Golden Legend]

[Type: Extra Monster Card]

[In this duel, if your own HP deducted exceeds 100%, you can be specially summoned to the opponent's field]

[Introduction: The best of the Giant Clan, with a powerful curse ability, if he hadn't rebelled against the Giant King, he wouldn't have ended up like this]

[Effect 1: Betrayer]

[Activated during your own preparation phase, 10% of your HP will be deducted.] (Note: The time has come, start today!) )】

[Effect 2: Cursed Thorn]

[Launched in their own preparation stage, both sides randomly discard a hand card.] (Note: Such a powerful curse ability cannot be resisted even by a powerful giant.) )】

Although there are only two effects, it is extremely tricky.

Deduct 10% of the blood volume per round, this price is undoubtedly very large, the key is that Ye Qiong has not yet found the means to send away this card.

Just look at Sister Hannah's field, it's empty, there's not even a monster to fight, and that's a hammer.

The second effect is also outrageous, it seems to be aimed at both sides, but in fact it is only aimed at Leah, Sister Hannah's posture, it is clear that she will not leave a hand card for herself.

The effect of randomly discarding hand cards will only be activated on them.

After summoning the Cursed Giant, Sister Hannah finally announced the end of the round, and as in the previous round, there was not a single monster on the field to act as a defense.

This posture seems to say:

"Do you dare to attack it?"

It can only be said that the effect of the [Godhead of Pain] is too tricky to handle, which is why she has no fear.

It was Leah's turn, and just before she was in the preparation stage, the cursed giant on the field moved, and the invisible thorn pierced through Riah's handcard, discarding one of them at random to the graveyard.

Ye Qiong looked at it, and he was also a little lucky, fortunately, he didn't throw the [Guardian Knight-Bediwell] that he had just retrieved into the cemetery, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome.

After that, the effect of "Betrayal" is activated, reducing Leah's HP to 145%.

Entering the gacha phase, both of them look at the newly drawn cards at the same time.

【Shining in the Spear of the End】

This is the special victory method that Ye Qiong just said, this card needs to have [Eternal King-Leah Pandragang] on the field to be activated, and according to the number of "knights" surviving on the field, the effect will be activated.

A "knight" who chooses a monster card on the opponent's field to destroy.

Three "Knights", except for one card on the opponent's field.

Five "knights", all the cards on the opponent's field will be sent to the graveyard.

Seven "Knights", the opponent cannot activate the effect of the card this turn, after that, [Eternal King-Leah Pandragang] increases the combat power according to the number of "Knights" on the field, and can launch a direct attack.

Nine "knights", who won the duel directly.

At this time, there may be doubts, there are only five monster areas on the field, how can it be possible for nine "knights" to exist on the field at the same time and win the duel.

This is related to the effect of [Eternal King - Leah Pandragon], she can summon the "knights" in the graveyard to the field as much as possible, even if it is a trap or magic card area, it can also be used as a monster area to summon "knights".

Now what Ye Qiong has to do is very simple, make the graveyard collect nine knights with different card names, summon the [Eternal King-Leah Pandragang], and you can directly win the duel.

Ye Qiong looked at Leah's graveyard, and at this time there were already four knights with different card names, namely:

【Sun Knight—Kademoth】【Mirror Knight—Kai] [Knights of Fire—Argus] [Apocalypse Knight—Garhat]

plus the [Lake Knight - Lancelot] on the field and the [Guardian Knight - Bedwell] in the hand card

There are already six knights with different card names, and the conditions for completing a special victory are not far away.

Ye Qiong looked at Sister Hannah's field, although there was no monster card to act as a defense, but it was extremely tricky.

Two options are placed in front of them, one is passive defense, the conditions for completing a special victory.

The second is to take the initiative and kill the opponent two lives in one round, which is not unrealistic.

If the conditions for activating the effect of the seven knights of [Shining in the Lance of the End] can be met, the combat power of [Knight King—Leah Pandragang] after increasing can at least 70%-75% of the HP.

And the seven knights who were summoned on the field could also attack.

With eight attacks, Ye Qiong conservatively estimated that he could cut 140%-150% of his HP in one round.

The problem is that this is inevitably too gambling, he has not forgotten that the [Undead of the Same Fate] in Sister Hannah's graveyard has not yet activated its effect.

This is also the reason why Ye Qiong is so hesitant.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ye Qiong still chose to defend after all, and now Liya's HP is still 145%, and she will not reach the killing line for a while and a half.

Whisper in Leah's ear, informing her how to unfold.

After listening to it, she immediately took action.

Summoning the [Guardian Knight-Bediwell] in his hand to the field, along with the golden magic array, a man in silver armor walked out of it, his right arm had already been severed due to a battle, and he could only be equipped with an arm made of Mithril.

His long white hair added to his sense of sickness, and with a sword hanging from his waist, like the first two knights, he knelt half-on the ground towards the king to whom he was loyal, put his right hand to his heart, and declared:

"Give everything to my king!"

This crisp young man's voice is like a new knight, not at all like a knight who has experienced a hundred battles.

Leah looked at the half-kneeling young man, and couldn't help but flash a trace of nostalgia, the reason why he looked extremely young was because he was blessed by the elves and gave him an ageless face.

If memory serves, the guardian knight was over fifty years old at the time of following her, and was highly regarded in the Order and respected by the other knights.

As just now, the choice from fate reappeared in front of the two of them.

"You have put the sword in the hands of the guardian knight, and you know that you will die from the wound in your chest after losing the protection of the sword of dawn, but this is a pact with the fairy of the lake, and you must return it.

Although you are ready to come to your senses, the knight in front of you is obviously not, and a trace of unbearability flashed on his face, and it seems that he is unwilling to return the holy sword.

After learning about this, what was your choice? ”

"One, life and death are human nature, patiently enlighten him."

"Second, don't let him get too entangled, snatch the holy sword back, and return it yourself."

"Three, it's just silence, this kind of thing, you can only figure it out by yourself, you believe that Bedwell will make the right choice."

The three options were placed in front of Ye Qiong, he quietly glanced at Liya beside him, and just wanted to ask out loud if this incident had happened, but he didn't expect her to frown, looking very puzzled.

He also asked at the right time:

"What's wrong, is there anything strange?"

"Yes, the Sword of Dawn was indeed given to me by the Fairy of the Lake, and it was agreed that when I sensed that my death was approaching, I would return the Holy Sword."

"So this one thing did happen?"

Leah shook her head and replied:

"Since it is something I agreed, how can I let Beddie Weiqing do it for me, although I was mortally injured at that time, but with the protection of the holy sword, I can still barely move, and I have not yet reached the point where I need others to help me return the holy sword."

This answer made Ye Qiong a little puzzled, Liya in this world should also be protected by the Holy Sword, why would she make a completely different judgment?

Looking at the Eternal King beside her, if nothing else, she was also thinking about this question.

How will the trajectory of history differ between returning the holy sword yourself and letting this guardian knight return it on his behalf?

The answer to this question is probably only known to Sister Hannah, who is on the opposite side of the two, after all, she has personally experienced the battle that took place in Catum Hill, and it can even be said that this is the result of her guidance.

She can roughly deduce one or two of the endings corresponding to the above three options.

The first should correspond to the correct historical trajectory, as long as the king orders, as the most loyal knight under her command, she will naturally choose to obey, and the result will naturally be the death of the knight king, and Bedwell will also choose to retire and no longer become a knight, after all, the king he is loyal to has died.

The second option should be the choice of the opposite king, as a result of which she failed to die when she met the fate of death, and became an undead who wandered back to the world with the holy spear in her hand, assimilated by the divine nature contained in the holy spear in her hand.

As for the third option, when she saw this option, even if she was as calm as her, she couldn't help but be a little frightened, if it was really this option, it would be a little terrifying.

It is not difficult to imagine what would have been done without giving precise orders, with Bedwell's indecisive character.

Naturally, he crossed the holy lake three times without entering, and refused to return the holy sword in his hand.

Then the knight king, who is also protected by the holy sword, will also hold high the holy spear in his hand, completely deified, and become the eternal king.

The difference between the second and the third option is that the second is accidental, and she does not know that it is a predetermined fate.

The third is the result of her deliberate guidance, probably because she is unwilling to accept the demise of the Nebula Empire, so she will be selfish and disobedient to fate.

It's hard to imagine that this is the behavior of the king who believes in the seven virtues of knighthood, being scolded by the people, being stabbed in the back by his subordinates, and the fall of the Nebula Empire, has changed her mentality?

Thinking of this, Sister Hannah also unconsciously showed an interesting smile, she was very curious about the king who made this choice.

looked at the two opponents, and even wanted to choose a third option for them.

At this moment, both Ye Qiong and Liya fell into hesitation, combined with what Liya said, it is safest to choose the second option, in the timeline she experienced, after returning the holy sword, Bedwell chose to retreat, and it did not have too many negative effects.

The reason why we have not made up our minds is because of the third option.

No one knows her twelve Knights of the Round Table better than her, and although the time and space are different, the general personality should be the same.

With what she knew about Bedwell, would this subordinate really be willing to return the sword and watch the king she was loyal to die without saying anything?

The answer is undoubtedly no.

In that case, why is this option still in place? Why let Bedwell do that?

Is this king to whom Bedwell is loyal is dissatisfied with the end of the Nebula Empire, and is not willing to die like this?

Leah knew her knights as well as herself, and she could understand the feeling.

After a long silence, she finally chose the third option, and she wanted to see the outcome behind this option.

In the hand of the [Guardian Knight-Bedwell] on the field, there was an extra holy sword that bloomed with orange light, and after making a choice, the white light shrouded it, and after a long time, it faded.

When he reappeared, his appearance still did not change in the slightest, and the face blessed by the elves was still so young.

Sure enough, as Leah had expected, Bedwell did not return the sword, and it melted into his silver arm and disappeared.

He has also had a lot of changes on the card surface, and there have been a lot of vicissitudes on top of his youthful appearance.

Without exception, all three people present focused on his card introduction.

[Card Name: Guardian Knight - Bedwell]

[Rank: Golden Legend]

[Type: Monster Card]

[Introduction: One of the knights under the command of the knight king Lia Pandragang, and her earliest follower, he witnessed the growth of the king, and the knight king had a deep bond, and after getting the request to return the holy sword, he was reluctant to throw the holy sword in his hand into the holy lake, which also led to the king not being able to die according to the established fate. 】

[Effect 1: Oath of Protection]

[Except for this monster, all of your monsters will not take damage from battle.] (Note: With my sword, protect the person behind you.) )】

[Effect 2: Master of Military Strategy]

[Once per turn, when the opponent's monster, magic, and trap card is activated, it is invalid and destroyed.] (Note: This knight is more skilled in military strategy than in personal prowess.) )】

[Effect 3: Sealed Silver Arm]

[Can be activated when there is a card named "Leah Pandragon" on the field, and "Sword of Dawn" will be added to your hand.] (Note: The true body of his silver arm is the holy sword that has never been returned, and he has always felt deep regret for the king he has been loyal to.) )】

The first two effects are not much different from what you first saw, but the third effect only appears after the choice of fate.

If you want to know what this effect is for, I'm afraid you have to summon "Leah Pandragon" from the extra deck to find out.
