Same black cloak, same counterfeit Millennium Ring, same Shadow Game. The only difference was that the Dark Duelist currently dueling Yilin was a female. Even the loose black cloak couldn't hide her exquisitely curvy and well-proportioned figure. Her face, hidden by the hood, half-concealed like a lute player, exuded the charm of a mature woman.
"Hehehehe." The black-robed woman covered her mouth and smiled, exceedingly seductive. "My little red-haired cutie, I didn't expect you to last this long in a Shadow Game. It truly makes *qieshen* ( archaic 'I' used by women) both distressed and intrigued. I think the other little white-haired cutie has probably fallen by now~" Panting heavily, Yilin's rather well-endowed chest rose and fell continuously due to her rapid breathing. Ordinary people existing in a Shadow Game are constantly, every minute, every second, being deprived of their physical and mental strength; Yilin Austin was no exception. "You, where did you take Xiao Ai?" The suddenly disappeared Aisha, the suddenly appearing black-robed woman, the suddenly initiated Shadow Game. Yilin completely couldn't understand the situation. "I used a barrier to separate the two of you, then sent that little white-haired cutie to my companion. After all, *qieshen* is not only a Duelist, but also a Barrier Master ." 「Barrier Master」Megan, was this female Dark Duelist's title. And barrier techniques, unrelated to Duel Monsters, were a branch of magic that already existed on this continent. Only those with special bloodlines could master barrier techniques. Being both a Duelist and a Barrier Master, she could be considered a talent with upper-tier gifts even across the Elf Continent. That such a talent would willingly degenerate into a Dark Duelist made Yilin feel greatly astonished.
"Separated me and Xiao Ai with a barrier..." If it were in the past, Yilin would definitely be very worried about Aisha's safety. But now, thinking that You Ling was still by Aisha's side, Yilin actually felt relieved. "Although he's very annoying sticking to Aisha usually, he's quite reliable at critical moments, You Ling." Yilin secretly rejoiced, muttering softly before lightly raising her eyes to look at Barrier Master Megan opposite her.
"Don't be so optimistic, old woman. Maybe the one who loses the Shadow Game will be your companion." "Old, old woman!?" As everyone knows, cultivating magic can maintain one's youthful appearance, so most female mages look like their most beautiful selves from their youth. But this doesn't mean they don't care about their age. On the contrary, the topic of age is the most sensitive and dangerous among female mages. "Your mouth is as fiery as your hair color, little cutie.
But I suggest, instead of worrying about others, you should worry about your own safety first." Shadow Game, current duel situation—— Megan LP: 4000 [Axe Raider ★★★★ DARK][Warrior-Type ATK: 1700 DEF: 1150] (Note: DEF 1150, not 1200 as in typical card) On Megan's field, a Warrior-Type monster with 1700 attack points, a 4-star that can be Normal Summoned directly, wielding a giant battle axe. Yilin LP: 2600 [Elemental HERO Burstinatrix ★★★ FIRE][Warrior-Type ATK: 1200 DEF: 800] On Yilin's field, there was a female Elemental HERO monster. However, Burstinatrix's attack power couldn't match [Axe Raider].
It was currently Yilin's turn. "Hah... hah..." Fingertip pressed on the deck in the Elven Eye, Yilin felt for the first time how strenuous it was to even draw a card in a duel. "Is this the Shadow Game Brother Edy experienced back then? To be able to persist until the end of the duel, Brother Edy is truly remarkable." Can't back down yet! Until now, constantly working hard, constantly getting stronger, all for the sake of being able to protect the people around her with dueling when encountering a Shadow Game again.
If she didn't face it head-on at this moment, what right did she have to be called a hero? "Don't underestimate my HEROes! My turn, draw!" Regaining her momentum and drawing the starting card of the turn, a hint of joy flashed through Yilin's tired eyes. "Here it comes! I summon [Elemental HERO Knospe] in Attack Position, then activate Magic Card [Petal]!" [Elemental HERO Knospe ★★★ EARTH][Plant-Type/Effect ATK: 600 DEF: 1000] [Petal Magic Card Effect: Tribute 1 "Elemental HERO Knospe" you control; Special Summon 1 "Elemental HERO Poison Rose" from your hand or Deck.] (Note: Flower Lady/Maiden, not Poison Rose directly, but effect is for Poison Rose) "Bloom fully, Elemental HERO Knospe! Show your most beautiful form!" Petals bloomed unyieldingly in the darkness; the fully evolved form of Knospe, whose combat power wasn't particularly strong, allowed a brand new Elemental HERO monster to bloom on Yilin's field. "Special Summon——[Elemental HERO Poison Rose]!" [Elemental HERO Poison Rose ★★★★★★ (6-Star) EARTH][Plant-Type/Special Summon/Effect ATK: 1900 DEF: 2000] [This card cannot be Normal Summoned. This card can only be Special Summoned by the effect of "Petal".] A female hero clad in a long, emerald green plant dress, with 1900 attack points, successfully surpassed the 1700 points of [Axe Raider].
"Battle, Poison Rose!——Petal Cyclone!" A magnificent sea of flowers rolled up in the dark environment, and the petals from the sea of flowers formed a tornado, pulverizing the monster wielding a giant battle axe on the opponent's field. [Axe Raider] destroyed Megan LP: 4000→3800 Although it was damage like scraping, Yilin at least successfully broke through the opponent's field. "When battle damage is inflicted, the effect of [Elemental HERO Poison Rose] activates, this card's attack power can increase by 200 points."
[Elemental HERO Poison Rose ATK: 1900→2100] The growth element drawn from life force made Poison Rose's sexy figure seem even taller. "Next is a direct attack from [Elemental HERO Burstinatrix]. Let the darkness feel the hero's flames!——Burst Fire!" Following up with a direct attack, the scorching flames tightly grasped in Burstinatrix's hand forcefully slapped onto Megan's black robe. Megan LP: 3800→2600 "Success!" Even though her body was almost in a state of overdraft, the damage inflicted on Megan this turn still made Yilin feel slightly invigorated. "Just hold on a little longer, just a little longer and I can win..." Faith in hope allowed the weakened Yilin to continue fighting.
"I set one card, turn end." Flinging a card onto the ground, Yilin, ending her turn, let out a long sigh, finding a brief moment to catch her breath. "Little cutie, you told me not to underestimate you, but have you not also underestimated this darkness? My turn, draw!" Drawing the starting card of the turn, Megan's long fingers picked up a Magic Card and slowly raised it. Immediately following, an indescribably vast magic power, like a supermassive object condensed in the boundless darkness, converged towards a single point on the field. "Activate A-rank Magic Card [Dark Hole]!" ---
