"In my eyes, there is only the bond between a Duelist and their deck. Nothing is impossible!" You Feng said calmly. "Next, from my hand, I activate a Continuous Spell Card: Hysteric Sign! Through its effect, I add one Elegant Egotist from my deck to my hand!"
"Then, I activate another Continuous Spell from my hand: Alluring Mirror Split!" You Feng slotted the card into his Duel Disk.
"Finally, I Set one card and end my turn!" You Feng's expression darkened. The Darklord deck was undeniably powerful. Fast-paced Winged Beast decks generally lacked high raw attack power. Facing a Darklord deck, which boasted both high ATK and high LP, was a grueling uphill battle.
"Both sides are playing it very safe, not yet committing to a first strike," Han Wu couldn't help but remark. "I have to say, even though the fighting hasn't started, my palms are already sweating."
"But facing a Darklord deck is just too difficult," Lin Xian added, looking on without much hope.
"Wait! During your End Phase, I pay 1000 LP to activate the effect of Darklord Ixchel!" Ma Qingxue interrupted. "Once per turn, by paying 1000 LP, I can activate the effect of a 'Darklord' Spell or Trap Card in my Graveyard!"
"I pay 1000 LP and activate the effect of Darklord Contact in my Graveyard! Revive, Darklord Tezcatlipoca! Awaken and return to the field!"
With a sweep of Ma Qingxue's slender hand, a male angel shrouded in pitch-black plumage dived onto the field. He unfurled a pair of obsidian wings and clenched his fists, exuding an overbearing aura.
After paying 1000 LP, Ma Qingxue's health dropped to 9,900 LP. Had it not been for the restriction that Darklord Contact could only be used once per turn, she would have used Ixchel's effect to revive him during the first turn without waiting until now.
Darklord Tezcatlipoca
DARK Attribute / Level 9 / Fairy-Type
ATK: 2800 / DEF: 2100
"Darklord Contact now returns to the deck!" Ma Qingxue said with a light laugh. Since the cards in her Graveyard were limited to once-per-turn uses, she could no longer activate any more effects from the Graveyard for now.
The bullet chat stream began refreshing rapidly.
"Here it is! The infinite Darklord loophealing, reviving, negating, all while maintaining high ATK presence on the board! Who can stand against that?"
"Even if You Feng loses, it's just because of the deck gap. This Darklord deck is simply too strong."
"How do you even fight this? This trash-tier luck is limiting my imagination."
"..."
"My turn! Draw!" Ma Qingxue drew a card, and after a single glance, a smirk curled onto her lips.
"You Feng! It's time to say goodbye!" Ma Qingxue flipped a card from her hand. "Harpie's Feather Duster!"
"I activate it from my hand! Harpie's Feather Duster destroys every Spell and Trap Card you control! Once your backrow is breached, I'll finish you this turn! I really didn't expect you to be an even easier opponent than that mysterious man!" Ma Qingxue said with a beaming smile.
"What?! If that goes through, You Feng is going to lose!" Han Wu shouted, his voice cracking.
"I have to say, this is too much. Ma Qingxue's draws are despairingly perfect. Now she has a Harpie's Feather Duster... how is he supposed to play?" Lin Xian shook his head.
"In a situation like this, even a god would find it hard to manage," Liu Mu agreed, his eyes fixed on the field.
"Actually, I had a premonition. I've been waiting for this exact moment!" You Feng suddenly let out a faint laugh, slowly raising his gaze to meet hers with eyes that shone with intensity.
"What did you say?" Ma Qingxue blinked in confusion.
Just as the feathers of the Duster were about to sweep across the field, You Feng closed his eyes and smirked.
He flung his arm wide, shouting, "I open my Trap Card! Magic Jammer! When a Spell Card is activated, I can discard one card from my hand to negate its activation and destroy it!"
You Feng discarded a card, pointing directly at the spectral feathers of the Duster. This was a card he had swapped into his deck from the rewards he just received. Knowing that many powerful Spell Cards were rampant in current decks, he felt this card was absolutely necessary.
"You Feng... you actually blocked it! As I thought, you aren't as simple as you look. However, if this is the extent of your strength, you still won't be able to defeat me!"
"I pay another 1000 LP to activate Darklord Ixchel's effect! I activate the effect of Darklord Rebellion in my Graveyard and then return it to the deck! According to Rebellion's effect, I discard one 'Darklord' monster from my hand to destroy your other Set card on the field!!"
Ma Qingxue didn't care about the negation. Her offensive was fierce enough to compensate!
"This way, you're still left with no backrow! You still can't stop my storm-like assault!!" Ma Qingxue spread her arms and let out a fierce cry.
