Chapter 383: I'll do it myself

Rei: "My turn, draw!"

She glanced at the card she drew, then her gaze quickly shifted back to the "Thetis, Goddess of Light" on the opponent's field, and she couldn't help but curl her lip.

"Tch, to think you'd steal my angel—you've got some nerve. Just you remember this."

Fujiki You Xuan only smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, a faint, flickering darkness gathered around Rei again, and a voice that sounded distant and sinister echoed in her ear.

"Don't panic. Although Thetis has been taken, that is the continuous effect of 'Light-Witch Lyla'."

"The various elemental witches are indeed tricky when targeting monsters corresponding to their respective attributes, but this ability requires continuous casting to maintain."

Rei's eyes flickered: "You mean..."

"Exactly."

The eyes within the black mist narrowed, looking coldly at Fujiki You Xuan.

"This brat is quite scheming; he only emphasized that the Light-Witch 'can obtain control of the opponent's monster,' seemingly intending to obscure the way this ability operates."

"Heh, but he can't fool me."

"I see." Rei understood, "The 'Light-Witch Lyla' requires a continuously active effect; once Lyla is defeated, or leaves the field in any form, control of Thetis, Goddess of Light will return..."

【Light-Witch Lyla, ATK 500】

A witch with only five hundred attack points.

Guided by this insight, a cold, sharp light flashed in Rei's eyes.

This witch herself was the flaw that could be exploited!

She quickly scanned the cards in her hand, her gaze soon falling on one of them, and she had a plan in mind.

"Continuous Spell 'Court of Heaven'!" Rei shouted, "The effect of Court of Heaven can only be activated when there is a Level 1 Fairy-type monster on your own field."

"Because I have the Level 1 Fairy 'Holy God Palmar' on my field, the effect activates!"

"Once per turn, I can Special Summon a Fairy-type from my hand!"

The golden ring bloomed with dazzling radiance, as if an unknown and powerful angel were about to descend.

As long as a Level 1 Fairy could be maintained on the field, she could easily summon the highest-level Angels from her hand every turn. This was precisely the main offensive method of Rei's deck: rapidly summoning various powerful Angels to achieve field dominance.

"This big sister is also pretty amazing, it feels like." Judai couldn't help but say, "As long as there's a Level 1 Fairy, then no matter how powerful a high-level Angel is, it can descend instantly?"

Meanwhile, Marufuji Ryo, standing to the side with his arms crossed, didn't say a word but frowned.

No, things weren't that simple.

At first glance, it seemed like "Light-Witch Lyla" herself was the weak point to break through, but that was the King in Yellow; how could he be satisfied with just NTR-ing one of the opponent's Angels?

He must still be hiding even more brutal means.

Sure enough, then Fujiki You Xuan was heard saying: "Oh, almost forgot, there's still the Court of Heaven. As long as this Continuous Spell is on the field, a high-level Angel can be summoned immediately. Once Lyla is defeated and control of Thetis, Goddess of Light returns, she'll immediately launch a fierce attack on me. A miscalculation, that."

"Heh, you understand the situation pretty quickly." Rei sneered, "Not bad, a duelist using underhanded methods is only at this level after all. I'll send you on your way this turn."

"Indeed, it would be troublesome if I let you pass here. Since that's the case..."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled somewhat eerily and snapped his fingers.

"Activate face-down card, Quick-Play Spell 'Quick Summon'." Fujiki You Xuan said, "I can perform a Normal Summon for a monster in my hand."

Rei's heart tightened.

To perform a Normal Summon at this critical juncture, what is he trying to summon?

"I offer 'Thetis, Goddess of Light' as an Offering, Tribute Summon!"

Fujiki You Xuan raised his hand, and the whirlwind of sacrifice swallowed Thetis. Rei's Angel dissipated into countless particles within the white whirlwind, and emerging from it was an overbearing white machine; the moment it appeared, an invisible pressure swept across the entire field.

"Magic Canceller, summon!"

【Magic Canceller, ATK 1800】

Rei's expression twisted instantly.

"Nani!?"

What kind of species is Magic Canceller, damn it!?

"Oh, looking at that reaction, it seems you recognize it." Fujiki You Xuan smiled, "As long as Magic Canceller is on the field, neither of us can activate Spell cards, and the effects of Spell cards on the field are all negated."

"Therefore, your Continuous Spell 'Court of Heaven'..."

"Negated!" Judai said from the side, "As expected of Fujiki You Xuan, truly amazing!"

Marufuji Ryo remained silent with a deep expression, but he wasn't surprised at all in his heart.

See, it was just as expected.

How could the King in Yellow be satisfied with just this level? This was only the beginning.

"Not just Court of Heaven, Rei Mackenzie's Angels are a deck that relies heavily on Spell operation." Kaiba Seto also said indifferently, "Her other core card, the Continuous Spell 'Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen', also has the ability to Special Summon an Angel-type of any level every turn."

"If even Valhalla cannot be used, her usual tactics from previous matches have likely been paralyzed by more than half."

Mokuba: "As expected of Fujiki You Xuan..."

His duels always give people the feeling of hitting the opponent's soft underbelly with one punch.

"What a dangerous little brat."

The cold, sinister voice echoed in Rei's ear again.

"Step aside... I'll come and meet him myself."

Upon hearing this, Rei's expression changed drastically.

"No, wait, hold on." She said somewhat frantically, "I can still do it, I beg you, don't... don't enter my body!"

But the other party ignored her completely. Black mist surged over, and without a word, it rudely poured into her body. She opened her mouth, emitting a vague "Ugh, ohh" groan, and knelt to the ground in pain, clutching her heart.

But immediately after, that massive darkness supported her body as she stood up again. When she raised her head again, her eyes were left with only sinister cruelty, as if she were a completely different person.

"Let me guess, Tragoedia?" Fujiki You Xuan said, "Long time no see."

"Hmm, to sense my existence even through this woman, you really are a dangerous guy..."

Tragoedia's entire body erupted with black energy.

"... Must not be left alive."

He controlled Rei to wave her hand violently.

"Activate Trap 'Sixth Sense'!"

The controlled Rei said gloomily.

"Declare two numbers in the range of 1 to 6, and the opponent rolls a die. If the declared number is rolled, draw that many cards from the deck. If not, discard that many cards from the top of the deck."

"Of course, I declare 5 and 6."

The die fell in mid-air, rolling on the ground. Rei's hand slowly raised, her eyes lit up with a dark red, dangerous light, and surging darkness erupted from within her body.

"Of course, fate has already been destined like this die, stop!"

The die stopped on the number 5.

"Draw five cards from the deck!"
