"Dark Magician, a normal monster with 2500 attack points."
Aisha: "Although it's a normal monster, the attack power of the Proto-Dragon is higher, Mr. Yurei!"
"emmmmm..."
You Ling was also very familiar with Pharaoh's Black Magic.
Although its combat power is only 100 higher than that of True Red and Black Dragon, and is on par with Demon Summoning, it can be used in conjunction with a variety of magic and trap cards to perform miraculously in duels.
The Pharaoh continued to declare the effect, saying: "When using 2 sacrifices for an Upgrade Summon, the Continuous Magic Card [Poza of the Underworld] is activated, and draw 2 more cards from the deck!"
Although it has the same attack power as a single sacrifice demon summon, the 7-star requires 2 sacrifices at this time, which actually becomes an advantage in being able to trigger [Baoza of the Underworld].
The double card draw, which is comparable to [Pot of Greed], replenishes the number of cards in Pharaoh's hand from 3 to 5, and at the same time obtains the key card to break the formation.
"——Equip the magic card [Magic Spell Book] and activate it!"
[Magic Spell Book Equipment Spell Card Effect: Can only be equipped by "Dark Magician" and "Dark Magician Girl". The equipped monster's attack power increases by 700.]
Exclusive equipment, a thick book written with mysterious magical words, unfolded and presented in front of the Black Magician.
After a quick glance, the power of black magic lingering around the slender body of the black magician instantly gained a bit of color.
That is the power that comes from knowledge.
[Dark Magician ATK: 2500 → 3200]
Aisha was surprised and said, "3200 attack points. Hey, hey, hey, isn't that higher than the Blue-Eyes White Dragon?"
I felt like the Blue-Eyes White Dragon had been dragged out for various reasons overnight and compared as a combat unit.
"I will use my strongest servant, the Dark Mage, to destroy the [Ancient Dragon] on your field! ——'Dark Magic'!"
The black magic power condensed at the top of the magic wand formed an exploding black sphere, which contained a powerful destructive force that surpassed the explosive gale bomb, and was projected towards the huge ancestor dragon in the sky.
"Fight back, Proto-Dragon!"
Even though he knew he was outnumbered, You Ling still insisted on fighting back, betting on the last trap card and the key hand card for this counterattack.
"Then activate the covered Trap Card - [Unique Strategy]!"
[Effect of a Trap Card: Discard 1 monster from your hand, and select 1 face-up monster on the field to activate. The selected monster's attack power is reduced by the discarded monster's original attack power.]
Although it was only a D-level trap card, it was a card that You Ling carefully selected from a large number of D-level card pools.
Even if it is a D extreme, it can be called a trap card with a unique strategy at a critical moment.
"We can't lose here yet, Proto-Dragon!"
I drew the monster with the highest attack power from the remaining 2 cards in my hand and sent it to the Graveyard as consumption of [Unique Strategy].
"I discard the [Volcano Rat ATK: 500] card in my hand, weakening the Dark Magician's attack power by 500 points!"
[Dark Magician ATK: 3200 → 2700]
[Ancestor Dragon Ancient Dragon ATK: 2700]
“——『Original Ancient Dragon Shockwave』!”
Using the power of fire to cut down the black magic, this collision was so evenly matched that it shook the heavens and the earth.
The powerful impact wave was felt even by the students of Fu Sheng Academy in the distance, and they could not help but look towards the roaring and fighting dragon in the sky behind the mountain.
"Hey, hey, hey, look, what kind of monster is that?"
"I've never seen such a huge dragon!"
"Who on earth would duel in a place like that?"
"It's the breath of a strong man. Could it be related to the rumors about the three mythical gods?"
"Hey, isn't that a chat log?"
Chapter 4000: My HP is like a candle in the wind
"(||?Д?) The attack power of both sides is equal!"
The Proto-Dragon VS the Black Magician, an ultimate confrontation broke out in the sky behind the mountain. The huge energy exploded by the dragon and the magic almost completely illuminated the night sky.
Such a huge and conspicuous wave impact naturally attracted the attention of students from all over the college.
Even though it is now curfew time at the Fu Sheng College dormitory, it does not prevent students who have noticed unusual changes in the outside world from curiously popping their heads out of the dormitory windows.
"What is that? It's such a huge dragon!"
"It's a dragon I've never seen before."
The first thing that caught the eye was the [Ancient Dragon] flying in the sky, its body as huge as a mountain.
"What kind of monster can fight such a huge dragon?"
Due to the great distance and the size of the Black Magician being the same as that of a normal human, all the people in the academy could see was the roar of the Proto-Dragon with its powerful dragon might and the collision with the black magic energy exploding in the sky.
"Could it be Xiao Ai and You Ling who are engaging in this duel?"
While the dormitory teacher wasn't paying attention, Yilin had quietly slipped back to the dormitory and looked at the battle in the distance with concern.
Yilin must have never seen the [Ancient Dragon]. She didn't know whether this monster came from Aisha or from a mysterious opponent.
But no matter which side uses the ancient dragon, the fact that they can drive such a huge and mysterious monster, or be able to compete with it, is enough to show that the strength of both sides is extremely terrifying.
This duel was more intense than the previous dark game.
"Ah, look, the dragon has disappeared."
"Is the duel over?"
Just as everyone in the academy was looking forward to what kind of exaggerated and gorgeous battle scene would appear after the huge ancient dragon.
The collision confrontation ends, and the two monsters with the same attack power kill each other and disappear.
The restless sky returned to calm after the terrifying collision energy disappeared.
[Ancient Dragon] Destruction
【Dark Magician】Destruction
Pharaoh's trump card monster and the strongest monster that You Ling could currently use were both destroyed after just one confrontation, and the monster areas of both sides once again returned to a completely empty state.
The Ancestral Dragon Ancient Dragon, if it were a first-year student at Fusheng Academy, it would definitely be a monster that could kill people at will, but it couldn't even last a single round in front of the Pharaoh.
"The effect of the equipped magic card [Magic Spell Book] is activated. When this card is sent to the Graveyard, restore 1000 life points to me."
Pharaoh LP: 2800 → 3800
"Even with an incomplete deck, you were able to perish together with my strongest servant, the Dark Mage. You have fully proved your power to me, Yu Ling."
You Ling used D-level trap cards and small monsters to forcibly replace the Dark Magician's counterattack, and also received high recognition from the Pharaoh.
"Under the constraints of this world's rules, you used limited resources to fully consider ways to strengthen your deck, and then won victory after victory that you could not have grasped otherwise... Pursuing victory in a rational way is your talent, You Ling."
Aixia: "Mr. You Ling, it seems that you have received praise from the most powerful Pharaoh."
"But in this situation, I am not very happy."
She forced herself to smile. Aisha had an extremely cute face, but with You Ling's stiff smile twitching at the corners of his mouth, she looked a little funny.
Even if he got the Pharaoh's approval, You Ling couldn't laugh in this situation.
“I didn’t expect the gap to be so big.”
It seemed like a fight to the death, but Pharaoh recovered his life to almost full. Not to mention that when the Advanced Summoning triggered [Treasure of the Underworld], he also added 2 extra cards to his hand.
In comparison, You Ling only had the last monster card left in his hand, [White Dust Monster]. 0 attack and 1000 defense, without other matching cards, it could not provide any combat power.
My own 4000 health points are like a candle in the wind.
From Aisha's funny expression, Pharaoh read You Ling's thoughts at the moment.
"An overly powerful talent, with its power, will make you confused in an unfamiliar world. Confusion will make you pay more attention to victory in duels and power itself. Even I couldn't avoid this."
Pharaoh recalled the past. As the spirit behind Yugi Muto in the past, he almost ignored Seto Kaiba's threat of death in order to win the duel.
"The power of the soul is a blade that can cut through everything. The scabbard suppresses the danger of the blade and makes the powerful force more stable. The existence of the host's companion is also very important."
Aixia: "As the host's companion, do you mean me? I am very important to Mr. You Ling... very important!"
The Pharaoh's words touched Aisha's heart directly, and probably made Aisha Carlos happier than any words of praise.
"?*.?(ˊ?ˋ*)??*. Hehe, hehehe, it turns out that I am so important to Mr. You Ling. Thank you for the compliment~"
The Pharaoh smiled gently, as if he could hear the echo of Aisha's soul voice inside the Millennium Block.
"Yuuna, the radiance of humanity you possess is very similar to my aibo. By exerting that power, you can change the direction of your deck's summons, and even repair the balance of light and darkness that has been disturbed in this world."
"Can I change my deck? Meaning... no longer be able to only summon low-star normal monsters?"
"You and You Ling need to discover this together. Now, you need to fight together, not just rely on You Ling to fight."
After saying that, the Pharaoh uncovered the cards that had been covered in the first round.
"——Activate the Continuous Trap Card [Bonus of Eiza]!"
[Effect of the Tie Continuous Trap Card of Ezaka: Once per turn, you can activate this card if you have no monsters other than "Queen Knight", "Guard Knight" or "King Knight" on your field. Special Summon 1 of "Queen Knight", "Guard Knight" or "King Knight" from your hand or graveyard.]
"Resurrect on my field, Guard Knight!"
[Guard Knight ATK: 1900]
The trap special summon is still in the battle phase, and the Pharaoh is in an empty field, allowing the Jack Guard Knight, who has the highest attack power among the three knights of JQK, to be resurrected here.
"Direct attack! --Knight Sword Slash!"
Yu Ling & Ai Xia LP: 4000 → 2100
The silver-white sword blade drew a cold knife light in the night, cutting across Aisha's barren chest, causing You Ling to feel a startling pain.
Just like the Pharaoh's words just now, it woke him up.
"The scabbard that holds the blade back...do you need me and Aisha to fight together?"
When he came back to his senses from the pain of the cold sword, You Ling found that he had returned to the Millennium Brick in the form of a soul.
But the person standing on the duel field at this moment was Aisha Yuna Carlos herself.
Chapter 52: The Weakest VS the Strongest
"Hey, this, this, what's going on?"
Even more confused than You Ling who returned to the Millennium Brick was Aisha Youna Carlos who was suddenly swapped to the duel arena.
Aisha, who was originally staying in the building blocks and watching You Ling's duel, and counting 666 on the side, felt safe and comfortable.
He never expected that he would be directly attacked by Pharaoh's sword and forced to be replaced on the field.
Pharaoh said seriously: "The players have changed. Youna, you will take over the next duel."
"I can't take over the duel from Mr. Yu Ling... I definitely can't do it! I've never won a duel before..."
The more he talked, the more guilty he felt. What's more, his opponent was the strongest Pharaoh who even You Ling couldn't beat, and he was currently in a desperate situation with only one small card left in his hand.
At this time, Aisha Carlos, who was given the task in this critical moment, was so panicked that the silver-white hair on his head was shaking.
"Aisha Yuuna Carlos, believe in yourself. You have qualities that Yu Ling doesn't have. I hope that in future duels, the two of you can complement each other instead of relying solely on Yu Ling to fight."
Putting down the duel disk, Pharaoh declared the round over.
"Aixia and I, should we make up for each other..."
Combined with the previous words, the Pharaoh’s warning went straight to the heart.
You Ling then realized that in all the recent duels, he had simply been playing cards on behalf of Aisha.
It seemed that all he needed to do was help Aisha win all the duels, and everything would be resolved satisfactorily.
However, is this approach really correct?
Let Aixia admire me, depend on me, and be unable to leave me.
Is this really the best way to get along with the host after traveling through time?
Indeed, since You Ling traveled through time, Aisha has jumped from being the last one in the duel with zero win rate to becoming an undefeated elite powerhouse like Kevin Set.
But is this really what it means to become stronger?
