Yu-Gi-Oh!: Madoka, start!

Hal suppressed the inexplicable fear that welled up in his heart, and placed his fingers on the deck with trembling hands: "I can't just back down like this! Don't underestimate my fighting spirit!"

"It's my turn, draw a card!" Hal shouted loudly.

By shouting, Hal's fear dissipated a little. And after taking a look at the cards he drew, he suddenly felt more confident.

Mathmech saw what Hal was going to do and suddenly stretched out his right hand. "Wait a moment. During your preparation phase, I will remove Beatrice's last Xyz Material and activate Beatrice's effect. Send the Extraterrestrial Life from your deck to the Graveyard. This effect of Beatrice can also be activated during your opponent's turn."

"No, your effect is still at two speeds?" Hal said speechlessly to Mathmech.

The moment Blue Maiden heard about Beatrice's effect, she mourned for Hal in her heart: "I hope he won't have any problems with his mentality by then."

Aqua looked at the sympathetic look that Blue Maiden gave Hal and was a little confused, so she gently poked Blue Maiden's arm: "Aoi, what's with that sympathetic look of yours?"

"You'll know if you keep reading." Blue Maiden seemed to have recalled some psychological trauma and didn't want to say more.

Mathmech ignored Hal's resentful look and said, "The effect of Extraterrestrial Life. I banish the other Extraterrestrial Life and Skanda in the Graveyard to activate the effect of this card. Add the second Vermillion Herald and the third Herald's Divine Sorcerer from the deck to your hand."

"At least four bullets..." Blue Maiden bit her lip and murmured with a pale face.

Seeing Blue Maiden's stressed look, Aqua felt even more confused.

"Is this really the end?" Hal asked, staring at Mathmech suspiciously.

"It's really gone for now." Mathmech nodded.

Hal suspiciously pulled out a card and placed it on the duel disk: "I summon the element-driven snake from my hand."

Elemental Driven Snake Attack 0

"The moment you successfully summon a monster, I activate the effect of Destroying Phoenix. This effect can be activated during your or your opponent's turn."

As Mathmech finished his words, orange flames began to cover the body of the Phoenix Destroyer.

Hal swallowed and looked at the Phoenix Destroyer. This monster gave him a very dangerous feeling.

"Destroy a card on your field and a card on the field." Mathmech said, pointing a finger at the Elemental Driven Serpent.

"I will destroy the Blue Lock Dragon Anaconda and the Elemental Driven Serpent."

Hal looked at Mathmech in confusion. Judging from the power displayed by the Phoenix of Destruction, there was no problem in destroying the monsters he normally summoned, but the price was a bit too high.

Hal quietly labeled the Phoenix Destroyer as a mere show-off in his mind, and felt relieved. "That ridiculous-looking Herald of the Light next to him is probably just a small fry."

Hal pulled out a card from his hand with a relaxed look and said, "It doesn't matter. Just one destruction won't do me any good."

Blue Maiden looked at the Phoenix Destroyer suspiciously, her intuition telling her that this monster was definitely not as simple as Hal said.

"I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card Power Serpent Scabbard from my hand. I place a Power Serpent on my side of the field..."

Before Hal finished speaking, Mathmech also drew a card from his hand and threw it into the graveyard: "Send the Angel-Type monster Herald's Divine Wizard in your hand to the graveyard, and activate the following effect of Herald of the Soaring Light."

"You can only activate this card when your opponent activates a monster's effect, spell, or trap card. The activation is negated and the card is destroyed."

After the small wings on the head of the Proclaimer of the Light flapped a few times, a ray of colorful light shone on the driving serpent sheath on Hal's field and pierced it.

Hal stared in amazement at the monster in front of him that looked like a small fish. He never expected that its effect would be so perverted.

"I still have a chance..." Hal said, forcing himself to calm down.

"Such a powerful effect will always have its limitations. After all, powerful cards often come with a huge price." Hal comforted himself.

"I activate the second Driven Serpent Sheath in my hand. You wouldn't have thought that this card can only be used once per turn." Hal said with a smile.

"I send the Vermilion Herald in my hand to the graveyard and activate the effect of the Solemn Herald again. The effect of the Driving Serpent Scabbard is negated and destroyed. You didn't expect that this effect of my card can only be used once per turn." Mathmech said with a kind smile.

As Mathmech finished speaking, the rays of light emitted by the Herald of the Sublime Light once again pierced through the sheath of the driving serpent.

"No, don't powerful cards come with a huge price?" Hal said somewhat collapsed.

"The huge price only proves that this card is not strong enough." Mathmech said dimly.

Hal suddenly realized that he felt a little desperate. The weapon in his hand was not as powerful as Mathech's Condor. It was the first time for him to experience this feeling of being helpless even if he struggled desperately in a duel.

Hal was silent for a moment, then placed his right hand over the deck, indicating his surrender.

"No, why don't you keep struggling? What if? I only have three angel monsters left in my hand." Mathmech quickly advised.

It would have been better if Mathmech didn't say anything. As soon as he said this, Hal pressed the surrender button without hesitation.

"I only have three cards left in my hand, there's no point in struggling!" Hal said humiliatedly.

After the Herald of the Light turned around and gave Mathmech a "yeah" sign, the monsters on the field gradually disappeared without a trace.

Blue Maiden looked at Hal who was in a state of confusion with sympathy and sighed: "This child is just like me back then..."

"No...this monster..." Aqua said a little at a loss.

"That monster hasn't even used its full strength yet..." Blue Maiden said dimly.

"......" Aqua fell silent upon hearing this.

"I will never duel with Mathmech again..." Aqua made up her mind secretly.
