"I don't want to be a 'hero' who can only obey the orders of the glorious organization!" Starr yelled, the same reply he gave Endikor 45 minutes ago.

"..." Kaidin looked at Starr in front of him, "I don't know you, but if you want to stop me, then use your strength to prove your determination!"

"Come on! Even if you are a demigod, I will overcome it!"

"..." Del hesitated for a few seconds, temporarily gave up the verbal persuasion, and activated the duel disk, "I'm here to help you! It can be regarded as repaying the favor we owed you when we first came to Yaori Kingdom!"

Kaidin: "2 versus 1? Then I'll draw 2 cards in one turn!"

"Duel!" Starr & Dale LP800VS Kaidin LP8000.

"I attack first! Respond to me, the glorious dragon of the Holy Night!" Starr drew out his 5 starting cards, "...finally, did you respond to me?"

Starr looked at his hand with a complicated expression. He didn't know whether it was the joy of meeting again after a long separation, or the regret for his past life as a "hero". In short...

"Fight with me again, Brilliant Dragon! Activate the magic card, Pot of Desire and Gold! Exclude 6 extra cards from the deck face-down, and draw 2 cards! Activate the field magic card, Brilliant Holy Night! According to the effect, I

You can perform an additional normal summon of a [Knights of the Night] monster or a dragon-type, light attribute, and level 7 monster! Come out, Knights of the Holy Night·Aster (4 stars, ATK500), Knights of the Holy Night·Rei

Er (4 stars, ATK1800)! Riel's ① effect is activated, and I add Holy Night Flame to my hand from the deck! Cover 2 cards, and the round ends!" [Hand card - Starr 2 Del

5, Kaiding 5】

"Is that it? My turn, draw cards!" Kaidin drew 2 cards, "I activate the field magic card, Gear Street!"

"Qian, don't destroy the Gear Street." The captain who was calming down quickly reminded him, "Then, if that card is destroyed, he can special summon [Ancient Machinery] from his hand, deck, or graveyard.

Monster…”

The captain sighed in his heart: "Aren't they afraid? That is, aren't newborn calves afraid of tigers?"

"I activate a magic card, an ancient mechanical ejector! The ① and ② effects of this card name can only be used once per turn. Any one of them can be used once per turn. For the ① effect, if there are no monsters on my field, put 1 on my field.

Destroy the face-up card and Special Summon 1 [Ancient Machinery] monster from the deck regardless of the summoning conditions!"

"I destroyed the Gear Street and specially summoned the ancient mechanical giant - Ultimate Heavy Strike (8 stars, ATK3000) from the deck, ignoring the summoning conditions! Since the Gear Street was destroyed, I specially summoned the ancient mechanical body from the deck.

(4 stars, ATK1600)! Discard 1 card in your hand." Kaidin sent the ancient mechanical box in his hand to the graveyard, "Put 1 [Ancient Mechanical Giant] or 1 card with [Ancient Mechanical Giant] in it.

The magic and trap card described in the name is added to the hand from the deck. I add the ancient machine fusion from the deck to the hand."

(Hey, are you using the mechanical box again?)

"Don't let him activate that!"

"Can't he activate it? Then..." Hearing the captain's cry, Starr immediately acted, "I activate the ① effect of Knights of the Holy Night: Astor, I liberate this card itself, and remove it from my hand.

Special Summon 1 Dragon-type, Light attribute, Level 7 monster!"

"Come on!" Starr brought that long-lost excitement, and the duel elf who had been reluctant to show up for a long time also flew onto the field. "The brightest star in the dark night sky turned into the holy Holy Dragon of Light.

, comes to the world! Shine, the glorious dragon of the Holy Night (7 stars, ATK2500)!"

"The effect of Holy Night's Brilliant Dragon! If summoned from hand or special summoned successfully, target 1 card on the field, and destroy that card! I destroy the ancient mechanical giant - the ultimate punch! Shining Meteor!"

The glorious dragon of Holy Night was like a meteor, crushing the ultimate heavy blow.

Kaidin said calmly: "The destroyed ancient mechanical giant - the ③ effect of Ultimate Blow. If this card on the field is destroyed by battle or effect, add 1 [Fusion] from the deck to your hand.

Select 1 [Ancient Machine] monster other than this card from my graveyard and add it to my hand. I return the Ancient Machine Box I just discarded to my hand. Due to the effect of the Machine Box, I add the second Ancient Machine Box from my deck.

The mechanical body is added to the hand."

"Activate the magic card and fuse! I will fuse the ancient mechanical body on the field with the ancient mechanical box in my hand! The killing demon lurking in the mechanical god, use your deadly guns to snipe everything.

! Fusion summon, come out, the ancient mechanical demon (8-star fusion, DEF1800)!"

"Activate the demon's effect only once per round, giving you 1000 points of damage! Death sniper!"

"Uh-huh..." Starr and Dale's LP dropped to 7,000.

"Cover 4 cards, the round ends." [Hand cards - Starr 1, Del 5, Kaidin 2]

"Is this the end?"

"Let me do it." It was Del's turn, "My turn, draw a card! Activate the magic card and fuse the Gem Knights! I let the Gem Knight, Crimson, and the light attribute Holy Night Knight, Rui, in my hand

Let me fuse! The radiance shines brightly, let the green crystal gem experience and evolve! Fusion summon, shine, Gem Knight·Oblique Green (5-star fusion, ATK2300)!"

"According to the effect of Oblique Green, I can perform an additional normal summon! I summon Gem Knight Xiao Liu (3-star normal, ATK1200) and Gem Knight Huang Bi (4-star normal, ATK1600)!"

"[Gem Knight] deck?" Kaidin looked at the gem knights summoned by Del, and probably guessed Del's tactics, "Do you want to use effect damage to clear my health in one round?"

"...Yes, you are really well-informed."

"It comes naturally if you live a long time."

"That's right, fighting has never been my favorite thing! Ending everything before the battle is my style." Del raised his hand, Xiao Liu and Huang Bi turned into gems and flew into the connecting circuit, "I will give the Gem Knight Xiao Liu

Set it with Huang Bi to the connection mark (lower left, lower right)! Link summon, Link2, beautiful white crystal core, Gem Knight · Nether Crystal Core (ATK1450)!"

"The effect of the Nether Crystal Core, I added Gem Knight Quartz from the deck to my hand. I activated the effect of Quartz, sent this card to the graveyard, and brightly fused the Continuous Magic Card from the deck. Open the cover.

Card, bright fusion! I will fuse the 3 Gem Knight Xiao Li in the deck!"

"The shining diamonds are combined into one in the gorgeous and wonderful whirlpool, tempering the hardest and most gorgeous gems in the world! Fusion summon, shine, Gem Knight Girl·Brilliant Diamond (10-star fusion, ATK3400)! Sent into

Due to the effect of the 3 Xiaoli cards in the graveyard, I return the normal monsters Gem Knight Xiaoliu, Huang Bi, and Hongliu in the graveyard to my hand!"

"Exclude 1 Gem Knight Xiaoli from the graveyard, and fuse the Gem Knights in my graveyard back to my hand! Activate the magic card, Gem Knight Fusion! Let the Gem Knight Xiaoliu and Gemstone in my hand be fused!

The shining glass gems, merge into one in the fusion whirlpool, show a new gorgeous light! Fusion summon, shine, Gem Knight Girl Glass (5-star fusion, ATK2400)!"

"Remove 1 Gem Knight, Xiaoli, and fuse the Gem Knights in the graveyard to return to the hand. Activate the magic card, Gem Knight Fusion! I let the Gem Knights in my hand, Huang Bi, Zi Cui, and Red Onyx, fuse.

!Fearless, invincible and unstoppable, the most powerful platinum captain integrates the gem core that shines like stars into his body and becomes

Become the true leader of the Gem Knights! Fusion Summon, Shine, Gem Knight King Brilliant Diamond (9-star fusion, ATK2900→0→600)! The monsters summoned by fusion fusion with Bright Fusion have their attack and defense powers reduced to 0. Exclude from the Graveyard

Hit the third Gem Knight, Xiaoli, and fuse the Gem Knights in the graveyard and return them to your hand!"

"Activating the effect of Gem Knight Girl Ruri, I send the second Gem Knight Ryu in the deck to the graveyard, giving you damage equal to the number of monsters specially summoned on the field x 500! Starr and I have 6 on the field

Only, you have one on the field! Take these 3500 points of damage! Glazed Gem Water Splash!"

Kaidin looked at the glass gems that surrounded him like water splashes, and opened a cover card: "Open the cover card, a permanent trap card, and the doppelganger fights back! When you are damaged by the effects of monsters on the opponent's field,

, give the other party the same damage as the damage I received! Come on! Let’s see if your willpower can surpass mine!”

"No!" Starr quickly opened a cover card he left, "Activate the trap card, Holy Night Flame! When the opponent activates the effect of magic, trap, and monster, let me have 1 dragon and light on the field.

It can only be activated when the attribute/level 7 monster is returned to the owner's hand, and the effect is invalid and destroyed!"

"Do you think I don't know the effect of that card?!" Kaidin opened another cover card, "Open the cover card, counterattack the trap card, countercheck! It can only be activated when the trap card is activated. The activation of that one is invalid, and the activation of that card is invalid.

The card returns to the owner's deck!"

"What?!" Starr's remaining set card is not a counterattack trap card. They have no means of chaining and can only let the effect continue to process.

Due to the effect of counter-checking, Holy Night's Radiant Flame was washed back into Del's deck, and the doppelgänger's counterattack was successfully launched.

And because Holy Night's Huanglong returned to Del's hand, the number of specially summoned monsters on the field was reduced by one, and the damage was reduced to 3000.

"Uh-huh..." Del was hit hard by his own glazed gem splash, and his LP dropped to 4,000.

"Drink!" Kaidin did not release his demigod armor. He stood and resisted the impact, and his LP dropped to 5,000.

"Come on, keep going!" Kaidin deliberately said in a slightly provocative tone, "Let's see who of us falls first!"

"..."

"Dale, are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Dale stood up holding on to the wall, "But, with that doppelganger fighting back, I can't use the effect to hurt anymore..."

Starr: "The ② effect of the field magic Glorious Holy Night. During your turn, if the face-up Dragon-Type, Light attribute, Level 7 monster on your field returns to your hand, you can draw 1 card."

Del draws 1 card.
