Chapter 382 Duel Full of Surprises
"Duel!" x2
In the first round of the Duel City quarterfinals, You Xuan faced Crayfish Tragodia's top general Riki Mackenzie, and the battle began here.

The rest of the players temporarily gathered on the sidelines to watch the game.

"I attack first, draw a card!" Rikki attacks first.

She had just drawn a card and before she had time to look at the cards clearly, she felt a cold wind blowing on the back of her neck and a gloomy voice whispered in her ear.

"Take him down, Rikke. He has something important on him. Win it in a dark duel."

Rikki paused.

Dark Duel?
The girl frowned slightly, and a hint of disgust appeared on her frosty face.

"Haha, don't forget who gave you your power and who holds your fate."

The voice sneered.

"This is an order, not a suggestion for you to do."

Rikki: “.”

She took a deep breath, and when she looked at You Xuan again, there was a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.

I'm sorry. We have no grudges against each other, but I just want to survive, that's all.

Thinking of this, darkness suddenly appeared in her eyes, and even black fog began to gather around the venue.

"Brother!" Guiping was surprised, "There's something wrong with this woman too."

"Yes."

The seahorse reacted calmly.

"As expected, it's not easy to make it to the final stage. But don't worry."

Kaiba turned his gaze to Youxuan and snorted a laugh.

"This guy is not that easy to deal with."

As he spoke, he glanced at the judge on the other side of the duel arena. The latter had his hands behind his back and also had a relaxed expression, as if he was watching a play.

Loren murmured: "This power, this woman is..."

"It's Tragodia's puppet." The Judge said, "It's a pity that Luca couldn't bring that thing back. If we can obtain its power, things will be much simpler. Well, it doesn't matter.

Through its puppet, perhaps we can see how much of its strength has been restored."

"Activate the continuous magic 'Heavenly Court'!" Rikke shouted.

A golden ring appeared in the air, and two little angels with halos on their heads flew around it, with holy light projected down from the halos.

"Then summon 'Holy God Palmer' from your hand in Defense Position!"

[Holy Spirit Palmar, Defense 300]

This is also the monster used by Riki in the original work. It is a 1-star angel type with an attack power of 200 and a defense power of 300.

"Effect of the Heavenly Court: If you have a 1-star Angel-Type monster on your field, Special Summon an Angel-Type monster from your hand once per turn."

Rikki drew a card.

"Special Summon 'Light Goddess Taissis'!"

The holy white angel slowly descended from the halo, with pure white wings spread out behind it and feathers falling all over the sky.

[Light God Taissis, attack power 2400]

As expected, just like in the original game, Rikke uses a deck composed almost entirely of Angels. The Celestial Court is also a card she used in the original game. After the card was realized, except for the restriction that "the effect of this card name can only be used once per turn", it basically restored the original game.

"Then activate the magic card 'Handbook Erasure'!" Rikki said, "Both parties discard all cards in their hands, and then draw the same number of cards."

You Xuan glanced at the cards in his hand, discarded them all, and drew new cards.

Rikki also drew a card, but at the same time, the God of Light on the field spread his wings and suddenly emitted a dazzling white light.

"At this moment, the effect of 'Light Goddess' is also activated." Rikke said, "When you draw a card, if you draw an Angel monster, show that card to your opponent, and then you can draw a card from your deck."

The Goddess of Light spread her wings and held her hands in front of her chest. A card emerged from the light in her palms, revealing its appearance.

"I drew 'Angel O1' from the Angel family." Rikke said, "So, draw a card from your deck."

After drawing the card, she quickly selected two more cards in her hand.

"Cover a card, and the round is over." "The formation at the beginning is quite fierce." You Xuan smiled.

Rikki snorted but said nothing.

But this was natural. Although it was not her will, this was a life-or-death duel. Either she defeated her opponent or she died.

"It's my turn, draw a card." You Xuan looked at the card he drew, "Oh, this is really a good card. It is the most suitable card for an angel user as the opponent."

Rikki: “?”

The most suitable card for Angels?
Although she didn't know what he was talking about, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
You Xuan swept his arm and an inside cover card appeared on the field.

"I put a card side defensive indication on the field."

Then the vortex in the graveyard opened up, and the image of a monster card emerged from it.

"The effect of AD Changer in the Graveyard. Remove this card from the Graveyard from play, and you can change the position of a monster on the field."

You Xuan pulled out the "AD Changer" that had exited the graveyard, and then pointed it at the monster in front of him.

"I flip this covered card on the field to attack.

Light Spirit Envoy Lena!"

The covered monster card was turned over, and a white-haired loli wizard holding a staff appeared on the field.

[Light Spirit·Lena, attack power 500]

"When this card is flipped, you can select a Light monster on your opponent's field."

You Xuan smiled.

".Gain control of that monster."

Rikki: “!!!”

Gaining control of light attributes is terrible!

"Lena's effect, gain control of 'Light Goddess Taissis'!" You Xuan smiled, "It's amazing that you summoned such a high-level angel in the first round. Thank you, but I won't be polite.

Tessius, the Goddess of Light, come here."

Lena waved her staff and released light magic. The light god Taissis then jumped up and flew to Youxuan's half of the field.

"You bastard." Rikki gritted her teeth.

I was so unlucky to run into a Light Spirit. Her deck was specialized for Angels, and more than 90% of them were Light attributes.
Of course at this time, Ruiji just thought that she was unlucky and did not realize that this was not a coincidence.

Although You Xuan's deck now has a lot of components of unknown meaning, she usually doesn't have a Light Spirit. This is a special surprise gift package prepared for her.

This is the benefit of dueling with the original characters. You don't need to deliberately collect intelligence, and you don't need to watch the opponent's duel in advance. You can already know the characteristics of their decks and countermeasures.

"Light Spirit Envoy Lena, attack 'Holy God Palma'."

The Light Spirit's attack power was only 500, but the opponent was even worse, with the Holy Spirit Palma's defense power only 300. Lena smashed the little angel into pieces with one staff.

And now the only barrier she has on the field is this "Holy God Palmar". Once it is broken, it can be foreseen that the next thing will be a direct attack from her own "Goddess of Light Tessis".

Rikki gritted her teeth.

It would be really funny if this got done.

She opened the dark game herself and summoned the monsters herself. It felt like she was committing self-harm.
That's not okay.

"Counter Trap 'Nullify Attack'!" Rikke shouted, "Nullify the opponent's monster's attack, and force the battle phase to end!"

Transparent energy was released from the trap, forming a cyclonic vortex-like shield. The Light God's attack was completely absorbed by the vortex and failed to cause any damage.

"Let's just defend it for now."

You Xuan didn't take it seriously.

This is just the beginning.

"Cover three cards, the turn is over."

You Xuan smiled and made a "please" gesture.

There are many more surprises in this duel waiting for the young lady to discover slowly.
