Is This the Poker World? Ada Thief!

"However, if the combat power of a single monster is not enough, let the power of [Fusion] create miracles!"

While speaking, Jouchi inserted the card in his hand into the magic trap area, and a green vortex appeared above his field.

"Huh? Fusion during the combat phase?" In Reiko Kitamori's impression, [Fusion] should be a summoning method that can only be performed during the main phase. How can fusion be performed during the combat phase?

"[Instant Fusion] is a quick-play magic card that can be activated during the battle phase. Its effect is that I can choose the fusion materials needed to fuse monsters from my field, and then perform a fusion call."

"However, as a price, the fusion monster that was fusion summoned with the effect of [Instant Fusion] will be destroyed at the end of this round."

Jouchi also knew that Reiko Kitamori didn't know much about dueling monsters, so she patiently explained.Then, he stretched out his palm and pointed at [True Red-Eyed Black Dragon] and [Magic Knight-Kiltia] standing side by side on the field.

"Although it is a disadvantage to be selected as a fusion material without attacking, but I can't take care of that much. I use [True Red-Eyed Black Dragon] on my field and [Magic Knight-Kiltia] from the warrior family as fusion materials. Perform a Fusion Summon!"

"Come out, [True Red-Eyed Black Blade Dragon]!"

The green fusion vortex sucked [True Red-Eyed Black Dragon] and [Magic Knight-Kiltia] into it, and then the one who returned to the field from the vortex was [True Sword] wearing armor with sharp thorns all over his body. Red-eyed Black Blade Dragon].

【True Red Eye Black Blade Dragon】【ATK2800】

"If the attack power is 2800 points, it is enough to defeat the [Puppet King]!" Jouchi waved his hand and ordered, "Because it is still in the battle stage, let's go [True Red-Eyed Black Blade Dragon] and launch the [Puppet King]!" attack!"

"Then, because of the [True Red-Eyes Black Blade Dragon]'s own effect, when the [True Red-Eyes] monster makes an attack declaration, I can use a warrior-type monster from my graveyard as an equipment card that increases its attack power by 200 points. Equip [True Red-Eyed Black Blade Dragon]!"

[True Red-Eyed Black-Blade Dragon] roared up to the sky, and a phantom appeared beside it, which was the fusion material of [True Red-Eyed Black-Blade Dragon] that had just been sent to the cemetery by [Instant Fusion] —— [Magic Knight - Kirtia].

Seeing that the phantom was about to merge into the body of [True Red-Eyed Black-Blade Dragon], at this moment, Kitamori Reiko finally activated the card that had been under the cover in her backcourt.

"Only this, don't." Although Kitamori Reiko is still so nervous, she still resists the future of facing the monsters on the field in the castle after the [Puppet King] is destroyed, compared to the nervousness when she activated Gaika, " Although, I really don't want to, but if the card is not used at the right time, it is meaningless."

"I activate my Gekka, [Explode Armor]!"

"I, I want to use the effect of this card to chain the attack declaration of [True Red-Eyes Black Blade Dragon], so that the attacking [True Red-Eyes Black Blade Dragon] will be directly destroyed!"

"Nani!?"

Jouchi really didn't expect that the block card on Reiko Kitamori's field would be an attacking hole like [Exploding Armor].

If Jouchi remembers correctly, the [Explosive Armor] card was not set by Reiko Kitamori in the last round, but in the previous round. She had launched so many attacks during the period, but she didn't use it even once. when?

Because Reiko Kitamori has not activated the cover card, Jouchi even thought that the card might be a card like [Heaven's Punishment], [Magic Disruption Array], etc., which can be used to hinder the expansion, but why is it [Explosive Armor], and But now?

Obviously this attack of the [True Red-Eyed Black Blade Dragon] is not much different from the other attacks——no, could it be that one?

Combined with Reiko Kitamori's performance all the time, a conjecture appeared in the mind of the Great Smart City.

From the very beginning of the duel, Kitamori Reiko had a frightened look on her face, and she became more nervous after seeing two [True Red-Eyed Black Dragons] summoned in the castle, until she also summoned the [Puppet Queen] before she was slightly relieved .

At that time, Jouchi thought she was surprised that she could summon two powerful monsters in one go;

Also, from the beginning to the present, Reiko Kitamori also summoned many monsters, but no matter what kind of monsters were summoned, Reiko Kitamori chose to display them on defense.

One time may be due to a tactical choice, but it is the same every time. Could it be that Reiko Kitamori...

For the time being, the guesses in Jouchi's mind will be dealt with later, because Kitamori Reiko's cover card [Explosive Armor] has been fully activated and activated, and a laser shot at the [True Red-Eyed Black Blade Dragon] flying above the city's head. Come and destroy it.

His own monster was about to be wiped out, but at the end, Jouchi showed a smile: "Miss Reiko, I think you don't understand at all?"

"Understand, understand what?"

Jouchi stretched out his hand very confidently, pointing to the opened cover card on the back court of Kitamori Reiko: "Let me tell you one thing, Miss Reiko. That is, although there is no specific basis, but [Explosive Armor] this piece There is a curse on the card!"

"If it can't be activated successfully, or if it is activated, it will be nullified. It's such a curse!" Noticing the panic on Kitamori Reiko's face after hearing the "curse", Jouchi, who didn't mean to be scary, quickly added.

"There is indeed some truth in what you said. If the card is not used at the right time, it is meaningless. However, now is not the right time after [True Red-Eyes Black Blade Dragon] came out!"

As the voice in the city fell, the laser from [Exploding Armor] was about to hit the [True Red-Eyes Black Blade Dragon]. Claw] suddenly broke away from its claws and flew into the air, just before the laser hit it, it blocked in front of the [True Red-Eyed Black Blade Dragon]!

"Crack!"

[Dark Dragon Claw] shattered, but [True Red-Eyed Black Blade Dragon] successfully resisted the effect of [Exploding Armor], and the phantom of [Magic Knight-Kiltia] also successfully integrated into its body .

【True Red-Eyes Black Dragon】【ATK3000→2400】

[True Red-Eyed Black Blade Dragon] (Magic Knight-Kiltia) [ATK2800→3000]

"W-how could it be!?" Kitamori Reiko couldn't understand what just happened.

I only heard Jouchi proudly saying: "Hey, the second effect of [True Red-Eyed Black Blade Dragon] is that when a card effect targeting a card on my field is activated, I can send an equipment card on my field to into the graveyard to negate that effect and destroy it."

"Although the effect of [True Red-Eyes Black Blade Dragon] has not equipped [Magic Knight-Kiltia] as an equipment card, fortunately I did not choose to use [True Red-Eyes Black Dragon] equipped with [Dark Dragon Claw] just now. 】As the fusion material, I chose to send [Dark Dragon's Claw] to the cemetery."

"The mere [Explosive Armor], [True Red-Eyed Black Blade Dragon] is not just good-looking, watch me push it back!"

He spoke confidently, but Jouchi couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief seeing that [True Red-Eyed Black Blade Dragon] survived.

If [Instant Fusion] chooses the [True Red-Eyed Black Dragon] that has already been attacked, the benefits can be maximized. If the [Puppet King] is destroyed without hindrance, there will be another [True Red-Eyed Black Dragon] that has not been attacked in the city. Red-Eyed Black Dragon] launched a direct attack on Kitamori Reiko.

However, fortunately, the city wanted to guard against Kitamori Reiko's cover card, and kept the [True Red-Eyed Black Dragon] with the equipment card [Dark Dragon Claw], and it is now in handy.

"Then, [True Red-Eyed Black Blade Dragon]'s attack continues!" Jouchi waved his hand forward, "Attack on [Puppet King]!"

"Black Flame Charge!"

Wrapped in black flames, [True Red-Eyed Black Blade Dragon] launched an attack on [Puppet King], instantly destroying it and sending it to the cemetery.

Although no damage was caused because of the defensive display, the last monster on the field was also destroyed and sent to the graveyard. Kitamori Reiko couldn't help showing a frightened expression on her face.

At this moment, with trembling hands, she suddenly heard a voice from within the opposite city:

Chapter 69 Thank you Taylor

"Well, although it's a bit abrupt, Miss Reiko, can I ask you a question?"

Reiko heard Jouchi's words.

"Ugh?"

"Miss Reiko, do you think duel monsters are happy?"

After Jouchi asked this question, it seemed that Reiko, who had always had an inexplicable fear of herself, would not be able to answer the question, so she said to herself: "I am very happy to enjoy all the time. Oh dueling."

"Although every time I attack, I will feel ups and downs because of the block card activated by the opponent. Although I will be afraid when I see a powerful monster that cannot be defeated, although I will be uneasy because of uncertainty when drawing cards,"

"But Duel Monsters is such a game that brings smiles to people. This unexpectedness and uncertainty are also part of the charm of Duel Monsters."

Reiko Kitamori showed a rather surprised expression when she heard Jouchi's words.

Kitamori Reiko didn't lie to Jouchi, she has only been in contact with duel monsters for only one month, but even so, she still showed quite amazing talent in duel monsters, and her means and strength have surpassed many duel monsters for many years The duelists are coming stronger.

It is precisely because of this that she participated in the KC Cup and defeated many opponents for the purpose of "self-protection" without any ambition to win until now.

However, the more she wins, the more unwilling and distorted the face of the defeated opponents after being knocked down from the peak of victory, and the dueling monsters attacking one after another under the command of them who are full of greed for victory, the more Reiko Kitamori becomes. It is difficult to understand the fun of fighting monsters.

Kitamori Reiko, who was not used to fighting instincts, even began to feel that those duelists who could give ruthless orders were not the same existence as herself, just like vegetarian rabbits and felines who liked to kill.

She thought that the duelists in the city were the same as the duelists she met before, but she didn't expect that he was fighting with the mood of "fear" and "uneasy" during the duel?

In the city, he seems to be different from the duelists he met before?

Kitamori Reiko couldn't help feeling curious.

He was obviously afraid, but why in the castle could he fight so bravely, and even show such a smile?

Kitamori Reiko doesn't know what kind of changes such curiosity will bring about, and Jouchi also doesn't know Kitamori Reiko's thoughts, but just uses his words to convey his thoughts as much as possible.

"Miss Reiko, although I have been unilaterally initiating the attack from just now until now, I can feel the agitation from the collision of duelist souls. You are actually disgusted and trembling with fear. A duel?"

"Your deck adopts a strategy of using monsters with high defense to protect yourself, and then discarding the deck to win without bloodshed." Jouchi pointed to Reiko's empty field, "I'm not Accusing your deck of using tactics is despicable or something, but, "

"Isn't it too boring without the anxiety and excitement in my heart, just winning in a smooth manner until the end?"

Jouchi, who has always been the target of preaching, looked at Reiko Kitamori with a surprised expression on his face, and showed a soft smile: "Come on, Miss Reiko, let me also feel the shout and excitement of your duelist soul." Roar!"

"My turn is over, and at the end of the turn, because of the effect of Reiko's [Tragedy on the Battlefield], I sent five cards in my deck to the graveyard, and they have just been fused by the effect of [Instant Fusion] The summoned【True Red-Eyes Black Blade Dragon】will also be destroyed."

Inside the city: 24→19

[Instant Fusion] is a powerful card that can be fused during the battle phase, and powerful cards are often accompanied by risks.The risk of [Instant Fusion] is that its effect can only last for one round.

The body of the [Red-Eyes Black-Blade Dragon] who defeated the [Doll King] fell apart as the round ended, but when it was destroyed, the [Magic Knight-Knight] attached to the [True Red-Eyes Black-Blade Dragon] The phantom of [Altia] evacuated from it in time, and even stepped on [True Red-Eyes Black Blade Dragon] to speed up and leave. It's like a pilot who keeps himself away from the airframe.

【Magic Knight-Kiltia】【ATK1850】

"The third effect of [True Red-Eyes Black-Blade Dragon] is that when [True Red-Eyes Black-Blade Dragon] equipped with an equipment card is destroyed by an effect or battle, it can be removed from the graveyard when [True Red-Eyes Black-Blade Dragon] is destroyed. Special Summon the equipped monsters as much as possible."

After placing the [Magic Knight - Kirtia] card in the front field, Jouchi lowered his hands casually and looked at Reiko Kitamori with expectant eyes.

At this moment, rather than winning, Jouchi is looking forward to Kitamori Reiko's growth in this duel.

[Within the city: 4000LP, hand card 0]

【Red-Eyes Black Dragon】【ATK2400】

【Magic Knight-Kiltia】【ATK1850】

【Dangerous Machine Type 6】【Gekka (Forbidden Cloth)】

"My, my turn," she put her finger on the deck, and it was Reiko Kitamori's turn to draw, but at this moment, she hesitated.

Are you afraid of dueling monsters and those duelists who are bloodthirsty and thirsty for victory?

Yes, that's right.It is precisely because of this that I chose the safest and least injurious defensive tactics, and used this way of evasion to win.

So, is it true that, as Jouchi said, in the depths of my heart, I also loathe the self who is trembling and drawing cards?

......Yes.

That's right, I also want to fight bravely.

Looking at the gentle smile on Jouchi's face, Kitamori Reiko's heart began to burst out with some kind of strength.

I want to be brave enough to order the monsters to attack, and win in a fair manner.

I want to command monsters to fight against opponents, not for the sake of victory, but for the joy of duel itself.

I want, I want to smile bravely like Jouchi!

On Kitamori Reiko's face, for the first time since the beginning of the duel, there was a confident smile that was not flattering or modest.

"My turn, draw a card!"

"The usual magic card, [Pot of Greed], draw two more cards from my deck!"

"Then I activate [Resurrection of the Dead]!"
