Die, all of you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"World End!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Xie Er, LP 6000 → LP 4000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His life force was drained once more; Xie Er's face turned deathly pale, and he stumbled, struggling to stand firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The life force served as fodder was once again absorbed into Demise's great axe, and the strike of World End fell once more. Jaden's Bubbleman and Plasma Vice on the field were both swept up in it, turning to dust under the scorching blue flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But before Bubbleman is destroyed,\" Jaden chained in, \"I activate the Quick-Play Spell 'Bubble Illusion'!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This card can only be activated while 'Elemental HERO Bubbleman' is on the field. This turn, I have one chance to activate a Trap Card from my hand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, the flames of destruction swept across everything, and Jaden's two Elemental HEROs both left the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another trap from the hand?\" Xie Er frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why were these endless chain traps happening every time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, because I watched quite a few of You Xuan's duels recently and found his various uses of traps quite interesting.\" Jaden looked at You Xuan, scratched his head, and chuckled. \"I suddenly thought dueling like this would be fun too, so I decided to give it a try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait a minute, isn't 'Bubble Illusion' a card you originally had in your series anyway? I'm not taking the blame for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, so you learned this from that sinister brat as well,\" Xie Er said in a deep voice. \"So the set card on your field is merely bait; the real trap is hidden in your hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, do you think I am powerless against a trap held in your hand? You know nothing of the duels of true Qiangzhe !\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first drew two cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I set two cards from my hand onto the field. Then, I activate this card from my hand—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"—the Spell Card 'Card Destruction'! Both players discard their entire hands, then draw the same number of cards!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jaden was startled: \"The same spell as You Xuan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hands were discarded to the graveyard, and Xie Er drew cards from his deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There, discard your hand. With this, whatever traps you held are buried along with them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jaden helplessly glanced at the second copy of \"Mirror Force\" in his hand, had no choice but to place it on his Duel Disk, and watched it slide into the graveyard zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after drawing new cards, he caught a glimpse of his new draw and felt a stir in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Er narrowed his eyes, barely managing to catch a glimpse of the trap card Jaden had sent to the graveyard on his Duel Disk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this distance, obscure or unfamiliar cards would naturally be indistinguishable, but Mirror Force, with its extremely high popularity and having already appeared twice in this duel, he could barely identify by the silhouette of its artwork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, it's actually your second 'Mirror Force'. How dangerous. If I had attacked directly just now, I would have taken the full backlash of that Mirror Force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Er sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regrettably, my duel still surpasses yours. Furthermore, one of the cards I discarded via 'Card Destruction' was the Spell Card 'Pot of Greed'. When this card is discarded from the hand to the graveyard, I draw two more cards from my deck.\" (Original anime card)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Er drew cards again, then waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, entering the Battle Phase. 'King of Demise, Demise' attacks directly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King of Demise raised his battle axe once more, his target still Jaden. But Jaden showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he calmly revealed another card from his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Due to the effect of 'Bubble Illusion', I can activate one Trap Card from my hand this turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, I activate this card from my hand—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"—the Trap Card 'Mirror Force'!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Er nearly spat blood from sheer shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A third Mirror Force, can you believe it!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even You Xuan, standing aside, couldn't help but glance over in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good heavens, I thought pulling two Mirror Forces at once in the anime was unprecedented and never to be repeated, but it turns out one can actually pull three?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Er was even more thrown into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four Mirror Forces in a single duel, can you believe it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Discarded a Mirror Force with Card Destruction, only to draw another Mirror Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly realized that when he said that person knew nothing of the duels of the strong, he was the one who was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was he himself who knew nothing of the duels of a card-drawing dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The effect of Mirror Force: when the opponent declares an attack, destroy all Attack Position monsters on the field!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demise's battle axe struck the transparent reflective shield; dazzling light rebounded, and a wave of energy pushed flat across Xie Er's side of the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hexagram magic circle on Xie Er's forehead rotated, and blue fire burned in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the opponent's draw was unexpected, if it came to drawing cards, he was no worse off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick-Play Spell 'My Body as a Shield'!

The barrier of Mirror Force shattered like glass under Demise's axe strike, and the axe along with the flames swept across You Xuan and Jaden's side of the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Jaden, LP 4000 → LP 1100]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intense pain as if scorching the soul surged through him; black smoke rose from Jaden's body as he clutched his chest and half-knelt on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the pain of a Shadow Duel...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct,\" Xie Er said. \"This is the true form of a duel, a ritual where both parties wager their lives and souls to decide victory. If you cannot bear it, it is not too late to surrender now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't joke around; this is the first time I've had such an exciting duel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Jaden rose again, ignoring the black smoke covering his body, patted off the dust, and stood up straight with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could I possibly give up halfway? A duel is about persisting until the last card and the last breath; it's only interesting if you don't give up until the very end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Er frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To actually find such a life-wagering duel interesting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are actually people like this in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, then slowly enjoy yourself until the end of your life,\" he said coldly, drawing two more cards. \"I set two more cards on the field.
