Chapter 348

There is a reason why Silver Yin Liuxing said this.

As a freshman, Silver Yin Liuxing was able to become the second-in-command of the Society of Light in the school, all relying on personal strength.

But beyond this, the most important point is—he is not someone brainwashed by Saiou himself, but a Blue Academy student who joined the Society of Light after the Society of Light began to rise.

"In this world, everyone has things they are good at or not good at, but the future and fate are things everyone has to face." Silver Yin Liuxing said some of his heartfelt words, some heartfelt words that were retained even after brainwashing, "Although everyone can integrate the things they like into the duel, this doesn't represent anything.

I am Silver Yin Liuxing, I am the world shooting game champion! But in the duel, I am just a newcomer; the identity of a champion can't bring me anything at all."

He was talking about his own affairs.

His original purpose for joining the Society of Light was only one, and that was at that time, Instructor Napoleon had told the students of the Blue Academy that Saiou Takuma, as the manager of the world-class professional duelist Edo Phoenix, wanted to discover other excellent students in the Academy to become professional duelists.

At that time, Silver Yin Liuxing felt an impulse; he wanted to find this opportunity and wanted to become a professional duelist.

Clearly already a world-class "player," but no one recognized him; this is very painful.

It's like playing cards in a world of spinning tops, playing RPGs in a world of duels, talking about law in a world where cultivation is supreme; no matter how high your talent is, no matter how excellent your ability is, without the support of the mainstream theory of this world, it is very difficult to get recognition and praise.

It was precisely to get the recognition of the world and to let the monsters he liked appear before the world that he wanted to become a professional duelist.

Therefore...

He envied Serena very much.

Although he didn't like this form of going through the back door, her background and "master's school" had already made Serena stand in front of others by nature.

"You said a lot of nonsense." After listening, Serena understood roughly, but understanding doesn't mean she understood, "But what does this have to do with what you are doing now?"

Serena's question stunned Silver Yin Liuxing.

Is... is that so? Wasn't he the one who wanted to become a professional duelist?

Up to now, what has he been doing?

"Moreover, fate... this is really the word I hate the most." Serena looked at her hand, "I grew up in an alley in the slums, was found by my father, and then locked in a laboratory to learn fusion and use spirits..."

Huh?

Now, even the members of the Society of Light who were being brainwashed, including Silver Yin Liuxing, had a bit of a muddled brain.

How did you turn from "found by father" to "learning in the laboratory"??

What about the process?

Serena had always thought that the reason she didn't see a smile on Declan Akaba's face was because she wasn't working hard enough and she didn't meet her father's expectations.

But after the Fusion Army attacked the Xyz Dimension, she completely woke up.

She had actually always been a "lonely" beast under the moon.

Until she met Tiancheng Guang.

"For me, the duel doesn't have any other impurities, and shouldn't, can't have other impurities—continue the duel!" Serena is not good at words, but better at doing things.

She now thinks that a duel should be a duel; as a duelist, she doesn't need to think so much, just enjoy the duel.

This is also what she learned from Tiancheng Guang; for Tiancheng Guang, the duel is "fusion." And for her, the duel is the purest thing she got from her father and master, so she doesn't want to mix in any other things!

"Activate the effect of Lunalight Yellow Marten in the Graveyard; this card is in the hand/Graveyard, activate by targeting 1 【Lunalight】 card on your field other than 【Lunalight Yellow Marten】. Return that card to the hand, and Special Summon this card in Defense Position.

I return Lunalight Emerald Bird to the hand and Special Summon Lunalight Yellow Marten!"

The Yellow Marten wearing a peculiar pink skirt danced and jumped onto the field.

"Because it leaves the field due to this effect, banish it—then, I activate the Spell Card, Lunalight Fusion."

"Send Lunalight Yellow Marten on the field and Lunalight Red Fox in the hand to the Graveyard, and perform fusion!"

She leaned back gently, reached out to the sky, and danced gently:

"Form a vortex under the moon's gravity, and be reborn with brand-new power!

Fusion Summon!

Appear, beautiful beast dancing under the moonlight.

Defeating Plasma with his own hands certainly made him feel great because of the successful revenge, but what about after that?

Swish~

Swish swish~

Accompanied by the rustling sound of bells, an exotic woman wearing a mask with red hair reaching her waist danced gently and appeared on Serena's field.

Lunalight Cat Dancer, Level 7, DARK, Beast-Warrior-type, ATK 2400.

Serena looked at the Graveyard.

It's a pity that because of the effect of the Field Spell Giant Fortress Zeradias, she couldn't select Giant Fortress Core as a target, so the effect of Lunalight Red Fox couldn't be activated. Otherwise, she only needed to activate the effect of Lunalight Red Fox, select an opponent's monster as a target, and change that monster's ATK to 0 until the end of the turn.

But there is Plan B.

"Send Lunalight Purple Butterfly in the hand to the Graveyard, activate its effect, and target 1 【Lunalight】 monster on your field. That monster increases its ATK by 1000 until the end of the turn."

Lunalight Cat Dancer, ATK: 2400→3400.

"Oh? Exceeded the ATK of Core?" Silver Yin Liuxing was touched, but quickly focused his attention on the duel.

His brainwashing state had been maintained for too long; even if he could react, his body would still obey Saiou's orders.

"Not over yet. Activate the effect of Lunalight Purple Butterfly, banish this card from the Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 【Lunalight】 monster from your hand. Special Summon, Lunalight Emerald Bird—"

"Activate the monster effect of Lunalight Cat Dancer, once per turn, release 1 Lunalight monster on your field other than this card and activate! This turn, the opponent's monsters will not be destroyed by battle once, and this card can attack all opponent's monsters twice each!"

"Uh..." Silver Yin Liuxing couldn't help but curse in a low voice after hearing this effect.

It just happened to miss the effect on his side!

The Giant Fortress series possesses the overall resistance of "not being destroyed by battle."

But beyond that, its biggest feature is that after the battle damage step ends, a counter must be removed; if it fights in a state without counters, it will be destroyed after the battle ends.

This is also one of the reasons why he is more afraid of Tiancheng Guang.

Because his deck relies on this kind of tactic, but facing Tiancheng Guang, it is very likely to be directly swallowed and fused by Cyber Dragon, and he would lose the duel directly without being able to exert his advantage.

Similarly, fighting this Lunalight Cat Dancer, the feature couldn't be exerted at all!

"Battle, Lunalight Cat Dancer attacks Giant Fortress Core! When Lunalight Cat Dancer declares an attack, inflict 100 damage to the opponent."

The cat-girl dancer waved the dagger in her hand, flew over, and flew toward the core of the warship, evidently wanting to perform a dagger-cutting-warship show.

The dagger poked on the warship's shield, making a sizzling sound; even if the dagger rolled its edge, it didn't break through.

But—

The damage still had to be borne!

Silver Yin Liuxing, LP: 4000→3500.

"At this moment, Core's effect activates!"

"When fighting, flip a coin at the end of the damage step to guess heads or tails. If you guess wrong, remove 1 counter from the card."

What an effect with unclear meaning.

Serena frowned suspiciously.

In front of Silver Yin Liuxing, the card of Giant Fortress suddenly appeared, and the card slowly began to rotate, seeming to determine the position: "I choose tails."

Core rotated for a while, slowly stopped, maintaining its normal appearance, not upside down.

"Guessed wrong?"

"Ha—how is that possible, this is exactly the fate I need!" Silver Yin Liuxing laughed.

"Remove one counter from Core!"

Giant Fortress Core, counter: 1→0.

Serena didn't know why, frowned and said: "Continue the attack!"

Lunalight Cat Dancer saw the protective shield in front of her disappear, flew forward for a while, came to the front of the silver-white core, and slashed at the core.

Silver Yin Liuxing, LP: 3600→3000.

However... Core actually still stayed on the field.

"Giant Fortress will not be destroyed by battle." Silver Yin Liuxing explained helplessly, "Only in the damage step end phase when there are no counters on it, will it be destroyed."

As his voice fell, the huge mechanical warship slowly exploded in the universe.

However, Silver Yin Liuxing didn't care about the explosion of the warship at all, but instead raised the corners of his mouth.

"End turn." Serena frowned, and after Lunalight Cat Dancer returned to her field, she ended her turn.

Lunalight Cat Dancer, ATK: 3400→2400.

"At this time, the effect of Boss Rush activates! When a 【Giant Fortress】 monster face-up on your field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, during the End Phase of that turn, Special Summon 1 【Giant Fortress】 from the deck!"

"Special Summon, Giant Fortress Core MK-3!"

Rumble, above Core, a star-class warship filled with laser cannons slowly flew out.

Giant Fortress Core MK-3, Level 8, LIGHT, Machine-type, ATK 2700.

Because of the Field Spell, the ATK will become 3200 points!

"When MK-3 is Special Summoned, place 3 counters, plus the effect of the environment Giant Fortress, place another 1 counter, which is 4!"

Core MK-3, counter: 0→4.

"My turn, draw card, the effect of Giant Fortress Zeradias, once per turn, Special Summon 1 Giant Fortress monster!"

"I want to Special Summon, Giant Fortress Blast Core!"

Giant Fortress Blast Core, Level 9, EARTH, Machine-type, ATK 2500→3000.

"Blast Core is the same as MK-3, gaining 3 counters when Special Summoned! Plus Zeradias's effect, it is also 4 counters!"

Blast Core, counter: 0→4.

"Hmm..." Serena finally understood the use of that Continuous Spell Card that sealed her Normal Summon.

So that's how it is!

Cooperating with the field and the Continuous Spell Card, his field can permanently maintain high-level Machine-type monsters, which can not only cause damage by virtue of high ATK, but also act as a city wall, blocking in front, reducing losses!

And because it can be Special Summoned every turn, if it can't be solved quickly, it will soon be beaten back by countless mechanical bosses.

"That's the end of it! Bow down to Lord Saiou's fate!"

"MK-3 attacks Lunalight Cat Dancer!"

Countless cannons aimed at Lunalight Cat Dancer, and in the expectation of the members of the Society of Light, the cannons erupted with terrifying light.

Gunsmoke filled the entire scene.

Serena, LP: 4000→3200

Silver Yin Liuxing was full of confidence, preparing to use Blast Core to attack directly, but was surprised to find...

Lunalight Cat Dancer was still on the field!

"Sorry... Lunalight Cat Dancer has an effect similar to Giant Fortress; it will not be destroyed by battle!"

"... Tsk." Silver Yin Liuxing couldn't help but say in a low voice, "Actually hidden such an effect."

"I don't understand games." Serena said calmly, "But, Master told me that as a duelist, as a person pursuing fusion, you must understand everything about the duel in the duel.

And you drew a conclusion without even experimenting."

Experiment?

Of course she knows this kind of thing; try attacking first, then guess the weakness, attack path, and moves; of course she understands—

It's just that when he thought this way, Silver Yin Liuxing felt a headache.

"Continue the battle, use Blast Core to attack Lunalight Cat Dancer!"

Another huge warship's cannon accumulated energy and erupted with a red torrent like magma, hitting the cat-girl dancer.

Only this time, he no longer expected anything.

Serena, LP: 3200→2500.

"They both lost a counter after the battle."

The counters of the two Giant Fortresses became 3 at the same time.

"End turn."

"End?" Serena heard, like a beast that found prey, took half a step back suddenly, arched her waist, assumed a fighting posture, and said like Master:

"Then—"

"The last turn!"
