Chapter 24: Punishment of Teaching

After being used as a springboard for the appearance of the "Saint of Teaching", the "Holy Demon Girl" has lost her usefulness.

"Liberate the Holy Demon Girl and Special Summon the Silent Magician."

Seeing the harmless girl in white dress slowly disappearing, Xia Qing inexplicably felt a sense of guilt.

But as the graceful pure white witch approached him, his previous guilty feelings were immediately forgotten.

The characteristic of Xia Qing's deck is that it consumes little hand resources.

Even if he used Double Tornado at the cost of discarding his hand cards, the Silent Magician still had an attack power of up to 3000 points.

For some unknown reason, Xia Ze never activated the effect of "Holy Birth".

Even if the "Silent Magician" appeared, Xia Qing declared that the battle phase had begun.

"Silent Magician, attack 'Holy Night Knights Riel'."

The white-haired witch slowly raised the staff in her hand, and the magic power in the air seemed to be drawn and gathered from all directions.

It turned into a white energy ball and condensed at the top of the staff.

Then, this ball of white energy grew larger and larger, gradually becoming violent and dangerous.

When it was on the verge of losing control, the witch waved her staff with her slender arm, and suddenly a dazzling white beam of light burst out.

The "Night Knights Riel", with only 1800 HP, was unable to withstand this attack with 3000 HP.

The Angel Knight defeated it easily, and it turned into white wings that floated in the air.

The remaining 1200 points of damage also fell on the duelist in the form of aftermath.

Xia Ze snorted coldly without saying a word and silently endured the blow.

"Be careful, the next attack will be from the Saint." Xia Qing warned.

"Come on," Xia Ze smiled generously, "After three days of absence, you should look at me with new eyes. You can hurt me with your strength now."

"It's all thanks to my cousin who deliberately gave me the opportunity." Xia Qing shook his head modestly.

"That has to be grasped," Xia Ze raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a playful smile, "Besides, this might be my strategy."

After he raised his right arm and took the saint's powerful hammer.

Xia Ze's health finally fell into disadvantage.

Wang Lin and Xia Qing LP: 5500.

Xia Ze LP: 5300.

The combat phase ends.

Xia Qing covered two cards and was about to end his turn.

Xia Ze finally couldn't hold back any longer and waved his hand to open the last covered card.

"Activate the perpetual trap, the holy night is coming."

Xia Ze looked up and explained to the two of them.

"This card can only be used during both players' main phases. It can be recycled or Special Summoned."

Wang Lin was a little confused: "It's not a special summon using the effect of continuous magic."

In his opinion, Xia Ze had clearly had many opportunities to summon the Holy Night Dragon.

However, he would rather take more than 2,000 damage and wait until Xia Qing announced the end of the turn before using the effect of another trap card to special summon it.

"He's probably waiting for me to summon the Silent Magician."

However, Xia Qing understood the motive behind Xia Ze's actions.

The Silent Magician stands on the field and performs a magic counter once every turn, which is quite troublesome for decks that need to use magic cards.

Xia Ze has a very important magic card in his hand.

When Xia Qing discarded the "Silent Demon Blast", he had already made his choice.

We need to keep the effect of Holy Night Brilliant Dragon and use it to destroy his "Silent Magician".

Seeing Xia Ze nodding in agreement, Wang Lin asked again: "Then why not activate the effect before the battle?"

However, the Silent Magician activated the Last Words effect.

The new character that appears is the "Silent Magician LV3500" with 8 attack points and a queen-like image.

Wang Lin figured it out himself.

This is to ensure the survival of the "Holy Night Dragon".

The most useless resource in Yu-Gi-Oh is life points.

In order to save the Holy Night Dragon and ensure that his magic can be cast in the next round, Xia Ze would rather take more than 2,000 damage.

Perhaps there was indeed suspicion of deliberate release at the beginning.

But as Xia Qing successively summoned powerful monsters such as "The Saint of Teaching" and "The Silent Magician".

Xia Ze's eyes gradually became sharper, and he put away his playful mentality and regarded him as an evenly matched opponent. Now on Xia Qing's field, there was a "Silent Magician LV8" who had grown in size and looked like a mature queen.

Attack power 3500 points, not affected by opponent's magic cards.

The Maiden of Dogmatika cannot be destroyed by battles with Extra Monsters, but the Knights of the Night revolve around the Night Dragon and rarely use Extra Monsters.

Although the two sister cards standing on the field attract attention, they have no disruptive effect.

They can only hope that the two traps they put down can help them survive the next round.

"From now on, I will not show mercy."

Xia Ze lowered his voice, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his palm was placed on the deck: "It's my turn, draw a card."

The serious tone made Xia Qing nervous, and she immediately activated the trap she had set in the previous round.

"At this moment, I activate the Trap Card, Teaching's Punishment."

"Punishment for teaching" is a powerful trap with both risks and benefits.

The illustration on the card records the moment when the invincible knight sister knocked down the unfortunate Albus with one blow.

When activated, you can send an extra monster to the Graveyard, destroying a card on the field with a lower ATK than the Graveyard Monster.

"I send the 'Old God Nutz' from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard and destroy the Holy Night Brilliant Dragon on the field."

Xia Qing picked a monster from his extra deck.

"Old God Nutts" has the same 2500 attack power as "Night Dragon", and can destroy another card on the field when sent to the graveyard.

It is equivalent to using only one card, "Punishment of Teaching", to destroy two cards of the opponent, which is simply a huge profit.

But powerful cards often come with risks.

After activating "Punishment of Dogma", we cannot summon additional monsters until the end of the next turn.

This was also the reason why he had asked Wang Lin before whether he needed to use additional monsters.

After all, in doubles, this negative effect is borne by teammates.

Only Wang Lin is a generous person and doesn't need to use extra money.

If he were playing doubles with humans on Earth, who knows how he would be greeted warmly by his teammates for opening the double penalty.

The reason why Xia Qing was in a hurry to set the trap during the opponent's preparation phase.

This is because the continuous trap "Night's Advent" has the effect of returning the Brilliant Dragon during the "Main Phase" of both parties.

Once the main phase begins, the opponent can use the return card effect at any time to avoid the "Penalty of Dogmatika", making the effect in vain.

It will then become difficult to find a good time to use it.

The knight sister's heroic figure flashed across the field.

As a bolt of lightning suddenly struck, the Holy Night Dragon was struck hard.

The white body was bathed in thunder, and Huanglong let out a shrill wail, then fell like a meteor.

It fell on the ancient land of the Jurassic period, stirred up a circle of dust, and then unwillingly turned into starlight and dissipated.

She is worthy of being the invincible knight sister. I guess this was the treatment Albus received when he first appeared.

Xia Qing couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

In every main story of Yu-Gi-Oh card, there seems to be an invincible brother/sister who protects the protagonist couple.

He then turned his attention back to the duel itself.

"Activate the effect of 'Old God Nutz' sent to the Graveyard, destroying a card on the field."

"The card I want to destroy is the Continuous Trap, Advent of Holy Night."

Compared to Holy Nativity which requires the opponent to trigger it, it is more flexible, and the continuous trap that can be both specially summoned and recycled is more threatening.

The Holy Night Brilliant Dragon's back and forth jumping and exploding cards made Xia Qing think of "Destiny Hero: Destruction Phoenix Man", which was very annoying.

The effect passed smoothly, and the two most threatening cards went into the graveyard, and Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Xia Ze showed no panic on his face when his trump card monster was destroyed.

He even had the energy to praise Xia Qing: "The timing of the trap was very accurate. I didn't expect that you would find the flaw of this card when I just mentioned the main stage."

Xia Qing listened to her cousin's praise and scratched her itchy cheek shyly.

He knew the actual situation himself, thanks to his past encounters with the Night Knight deck.

And for a moment, I almost forgot the effect of the card.

It was only because Xia Ze took the initiative to mention it that he suddenly recalled the detailed effects of the card.

In a formal duel, unless the effect is required, you are not obliged to explain the card effects to your opponent.

Therefore, understanding other cards is also one of the basic skills of a duelist.

However, Xia Ze has his own pride and feels that this kind of informal duel, relying on information asymmetry to win, is ultimately a bit of bullying the weak.
