Ma Qingxue had managed to recover 10,800 LP in the nick of time, but she was immediately met with the combined damage of three monsters: 8,300 LP!!
After the Phoenix Soul annihilated the three Darklord monsters, it lingered in the sky for a moment before diving straight toward Ma Qingxue's head, its light expanding outward.
"Ah!!" Ma Qingxue let out a tragic scream. Even for someone of her caliber, taking 8,300 damage in one go was almost unbearable.
With the deduction of 8,300 LP, her health plummeted to 2,500 LP.
It was a literal fall from heaven to hell. More importantly, because of the chain of effects he had unleashed, You Feng's hand was now overflowing with cards.
"Since I activated Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation, I cannot enter my Battle Phase. Therefore, I activate the spell card Swords of Revealing Light from my hand, sealing your ability to attack for three turns. Furthermore, I set four cards and end my turn!" You Feng set the four cards in one breath, leaving the spectators clicking their tongues in disbelief.
It was a grand display. In the span of a single turn, he had not only completely reversed the situation but also replenished his hand so extensively. The sight left an indelible impression on everyone's hearts.
Instructor Du had forgotten everything else, his entire being absorbed in the duel between the two.
Ma Qingxue finally recovered from the massive shock of the damage. When she looked back at You Feng, her gaze was incredibly solemn.
"During the End Phase, the effect of Harpie Oracle triggers, allowing me to add one Harpie Lady card from my Graveyard to my hand!" You Feng added yet another card to his resources.
At this point, the crowd truly realized the defining characteristic of You Feng's deck. It wasn't just a rush deck; it was a recycling engine. In a way, it shared a similar underlying logic with Ma Qingxue's Darklord deck. However, they couldn't help but wonder why Harpies, which were traditionally considered unable to produce such power, were performing like this now.
Was it because a different user had breathed new life into the deck?
Such thoughts occupied the minds of almost everyone watching.
"My turn! Draw!" Ma Qingxue's eyes remained determined; she had not chosen to give up.
"You Feng! It's not over until the very end. We'll see who has the last laugh." Ma Qingxue's pupils contracted as she allowed a faint smile to play on her lips.
You Feng frowned. Had she drawn something good?
"First, I activate the spell card Darklord Contact from my hand! This allows me to revive one Fairy-Type monster from my Graveyard. I choose to revive Darklord Ukobach! I Special Summon it to my field in defense position." Ma Qingxue shouted.
"Reviving Darklord Ukobach?" You Feng was momentarily stunned. Why? With so many high-ATK Darklords in the Graveyard, why bring back that one?
Was it for its effect? That was the only possibility You Feng could think of.
Sure enough, the moment Ukobach hit the field, Ma Qingxue made her move.
"When Darklord Ukobach is successfully Special Summoned, I can send one Darklord card from my deck to the Graveyard. I choose Darklord Amdusc!"
"I'm not done yet! I did all of this for this card's special condition. When there are four different DARK monsters in the Graveyard, I can Tribute one DARK monster on my field to Tribute Summon Darklord Zerato from my hand! I tribute Darklord Ukobach to summon Darklord Zerato!"
Ma Qingxue waved her slender hand as her eyes blazed with light once more.
Darklord Zerato
Attribute: DARK / Level: 8 / Type: Fairy
ATK: 2800 / DEF: 2300
You Feng finally understood why she had specifically summoned Ukobach. If she had summoned anything else, she wouldn't have had enough unique DARK monster names in the Graveyard to meet Zerato's requirement.
"You Feng, you wiped out all my Darklords. This time, I'm paying you back twofold! By discarding one DARK monster, Darklord Zerato can destroy every monster on your field!" Ma Qingxue's eyes flashed like beams of light.
"Don't even think about it! From the moment my grand chain was completed, every one of your paths of attack and retreat was seen through by me," You Feng said with a faint smile.
"What?" Ma Qingxue gasped.
"Flip Set Card! Icarus Attack!! The Winged Beast-Type has its own ultimate finisher. Phoenix Formation was just the opening act; the real peak is Icarus Attack!" You Feng swept his hand upward. A violent gale surged as a divine bird soared into the sky.
"By Tributing one Winged Beast monster on my field, I can choose two cards on the field and destroy them! I Tribute Harpie Oracle to destroy your Darklord Zerato and one of my own set cards!"
As You Feng's voice fell, Harpie Oracle transformed into a blazing firebird that streaked across the sky, incinerating Darklord Zerato along with You Feng's own face-down card.
