【Lightsworn Beast Wolf, Attack Power 2100】

Kyle glanced at the graveyard and sneered, "Trying to hold back your card? I won't give you that chance. The card sent to the graveyard by 'Minerva' is 'Lightsworn Archer Felis'!"

If "Felice" is sent from the Deck to the Graveyard by a monster effect, Special Summon her from the Graveyard!

"What a joke!" Arthur, watching the game, gritted his teeth in anger. With just one "Light's Reinforcements," Kyle summoned two "Lightsworn" monsters. "Lightsworn Archer Felis" jumped out and could destroy Oros's front row, which is equivalent to trading Oros for a counter without any cost to his hand.

Upon seeing the archer girl enter the graveyard, Oros's expression changed slightly. He immediately said, "Chain activate the effect of 'Vimana,' take 2 XYZ Materials, and negate the activation of the opponent's monster effects. I want to negate the revival of 'Felice.'"

Two XYZ materials exploded, transforming into the energy source for the massive Sky Fortress. A hidden door beside it opened, and a menacing war cannon barrel extended, unleashing a devastating attack on the ground. The archers in the graveyard, who were about to leap, were suppressed by this terrifying force and forced to return to the graveyard.

"Did Kang destroy the resurrection of 'Felice'?"

Arthur, who was watching the game, murmured to himself. Even he took a few seconds to realize the deeper meaning behind Oros's move.

The second effect of "Lightsworn Archer Felis" is "Tribute yourself to destroy 1 monster on your opponent's field and send the top 3 of your cards to the Graveyard". This monster will definitely consume one of Oroth's Impediments.

Oroth can choose to counter the ① effect of "Felice" being resurrected from the graveyard, or he can choose to counter it when "Felice" activates the ② effect.

The two options seem to be the same, but in reality they are different, because Kyle may not necessarily trigger the "Felis" effect ②.

"Felice" is a 4-star Tuner. If it is successfully Special Summoned, Kael will have a key unit on the field that can be used for Synchro Summoning.

The Lightsworn deck has many monsters whose effects are triggered after being sent to the Graveyard. Whether it's "Stop Crusader", "Knight of Dawn" or "Entertainment Wizard - Trickster", Kael can Normal Summon them and then Synchro Summon "Chaos Dragon - Chaos Ruler" with "Felice".

In this way, "Chaos Dragon" forms chain 1, and the monster sent to the graveyard forms chain 2, which will also avoid the counters of "Infinite" and "Vimana". The passage of "Chaos Dragon" will cause "Lightsworn" to experience an explosive increase in resources, and it is very likely that it will not be able to be stopped by three resistances.

Some might argue that Oros has "Cyber ​​Overflow" in the back row, and if Kayle operates in the aforementioned way, "Cyber ​​Overflow" could be activated after Kayle uses her Normal Summon to destroy "Felice," preventing him from Synchro Summoning. After Kayle uses her Normal Summon, the 4-star Tuner "Rayden" in Kayle's hand also cannot be summoned.

However, "Cyber ​​Overflow" can only destroy a card by banishing a "Cyber ​​Dragon" from the hand or graveyard. This trap is intended to destroy at least two of the opponent's resources in Oroth's plan.

If "Cyber ​​Overflow" is activated under the aforementioned hypothetical scenario, before the materials for "Vimona" and "Infinite" have entered the graveyard, Oroth can only banish the graveyard as "Cyber ​​Dragon Core" for "Cyber ​​Dragon" to destroy one card, thus wasting the "Cyber ​​Dragon Core" as a sustain point, which is quite a loss. If Kael still has Special Summon points in hand, then using "Cyber ​​Overflow" as an impedance is a considerable waste.

Taking these factors into account, Oroth chose to eliminate "Felice" before she appeared.

Perhaps no matter what choice you make, it won't affect the overall situation. Perhaps Kael doesn't even have a monster that can trigger an effect by sending it to the graveyard. But Oroth won't have that kind of wishful thinking. Many games collapse because duelists don't pay attention to the details of interlocking resistances.

This kind of delicate micro-management is precisely what many electronic players who prefer a brutal, aggressive style lack, and it was also a major reason why that boss valued Oros back then.

"The 'Electronic Loongson' removed as material has entered the graveyard; its effect activates!"

Oros points to the graveyard: "If 'Cyber ​​Dragon' is sent to the graveyard, add 1 'Cyber ​​Dragon' from my deck or graveyard to my hand, other than it."

The "Electronic Dragon Core" in the cemetery was treated as an "Electronic Dragon" and recycled.

He picked up the cards from the graveyard, showed them, and then shuffled them into his hand.

Seeing this, Kyle snorted coldly and drew a card from his hand: "That's not enough. After your effect resolves, I'll Normal Summon this monster from my hand—'The Witch of Paradise Lost'!"

A witch exuding an eerie aura slowly approached. She had demonic horns on her head, bloodshot, lifeless eyes, and a pair of bone wings slowly unfurled behind her.

[The Witch of Lost Paradise, Attack Power 100]

"It's actually this monster?" Oros pursed his lips.

When "The Witch of Lost Paradise" is successfully summoned, add 1 "Forbidden" Quick-Play Spell Card from your Deck to your hand!

Kyle sneered, "Now you can't leave behind any resistance of 'infinity' even if you want to. Whether I take 'The Forbidden Drop' or 'The Forbidden Holy Grail,' it's not what you want, is it?"

Oros makes a move: "Activate the effect of 'Cyber ​​Dragon Infinite' in Chain 2. Once per turn, take 1 Xyz Material, negate the effect of another card, and destroy it!"

Infinitely crushed an XYZ material orb of light, its blood-red electronic eyes fixed on the witch opposite it, its entire body crackling with electricity to seal off her effects.

"That's what I've been waiting for!" Kyle shouted, playing his second card from his hand: "Chain 3, Quick-Play Spell 'Two-in-One'—"

Tribute 1 LIGHT/DARK monster you control, then Special Summon 1 LIGHT/DARK monster from your hand or Extra Deck with the same Type and Level as that monster but a different Attribute! I Tribute "Witch of Paradise" as my cost!

“‘Inside and out,’ huh!” Oros pressed his finger on the duel disk.

"Witch of Pain" is a Level 4 Fairy-Type DARK. If Kael Tributes it, he should be able to pull out "Rainbow Declarer", a Level 4 Fairy-Type LIGHT-Type card, from the Extra Deck.

Should we trigger "Electron Overflow" at this point? If "Rainbow Proclaimer" appears, it can nullify our own effects.

But as his mind raced, Oros made a decision in less than a second: no chaining.

Why rush to chain? While "Rainbow Declarator" can negate the effect of any card once, as long as it is on the field, monsters sent to the graveyard from both players' hands and decks will be banished, which is equivalent to a monster version of "Dimensional Rift". Kael'thas did indeed prevent "Cyber ​​Overflow" by playing "Rainbow Declarator", but if "Lightsworn" wants to continue its combo, it will have to find a way to deal with "Rainbow Declarator".

Chapter 532, Chapter 199: Falling into the Trap

Kyle scoffed, "Giving up on following the chain? Then I'll continue!"

He placed his third card on the Duel Disk: "Chain 4, Quick-Play Spell 'Summon Chain', can only be activated after Chain 3. This turn allows me to Normal Summon 3 times!"

The chain is processed in sequence. First, the "Summon Chain" grants Kayle the right to summon 3 times this turn.

Then, in the "two sides working together" of Chain 3, Kael flew out a card from his Extra Deck: "Because the liberated 'Witch of Paradise' is a DARK Level 4 Fairy, I can Special Summon a LIGHT Level 4 Fairy from my Extra Deck."

"Come forth, 'Announcer of the Rainbow'!"

[Announcer of Rainbow Light, Defense 1000]

Finally, Chain 2's "Infinite" negates the search for Chain 1's "Witch of Pain" and sends it to the graveyard, leaving Kael with only "Lightsworn Wolf" on the field.

With two additional Normal Summons, Kayle no longer needs to regret the loss of "Witch of Ecstasy," and with the protection of "Announcer of the Rainbow," he no longer needs to fear "Electron Overflow."

"Oros, try moving again! You can't move anymore, right? Well, now it's my turn to perform!"

Kyle revealed a look of satisfaction and played the face-up card he had retrieved.

"Use your second summoning power to summon 'Lightsworn Assassin Raiden'."

[Lightsworn Assassin Raiden, Attack Power 1800]

"Oros, do you think having 'Rainbow Light' on the field will hinder my strategy? It is true, its banishment effect is troublesome, but don't forget, my top three cards were arranged using 'Absolute King' before. After sending 'Felice' to the graveyard, the remaining top two cards are also my cards, so of course I won't let 'Rainbow Light' block them!"

After saying that, Kael waved his hand: "The effect of 'Rayden' is activated. Once per turn, send the top 2 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard."

The two cards thrown into the graveyard are "Fusion Fusion" and "Magician's Replay," both of which are Spell Cards, so they cannot be banished by the "Rainbow Light" effect.

If "The Magician's Reenactment" is sent to the Graveyard, search your Deck for 1 "Magician" Continuous Spell other than the same card, and add "The Magician's Left Hand" to your hand.

"At the same time, the Spell Card 'Fusion' in the Graveyard can return itself to the Deck and shuffle it, then I draw 1 card."

Kael used the "Rayden" card to fill the graveyard, returned it to the deck, shuffled it, and then drew another card from his hand. He then played both cards from his hand in turn.

"Activate the Continuous Spell 'Magician's Left Hand,' then use my third Normal Summon to summon 'Lightsworn Summoner Luminas.'"

The effect of "The Magician's Left Hand" is: Once per turn, if you control a Spellcaster monster, negate and destroy any Trap effects activated by your opponent. "Luminas" is a Spellcaster monster.

In this way, Kyle wouldn't need to fear Oros's "electron overflow" even if he got rid of "Rainbow Light".

"Use a 4-star tuner 'Rayden' and a 4-star 'Rainbow Herald' to Synchro Summon 'Chaos Dragon - Chaos Ruler'!"

Synchronous light shone across the sky, and a jet-black dragon born from chaos strode forward, its long, spiky tail swaying behind it, and its broad bat wings blotting out the sun.

【Chaos Dragon - Chaos Ruler, Attack Power 3000】

If "Rainbow Light" is sent to the Graveyard, search for 1 Ritual Monster or 1 Ritual Spell in your Deck and add the Ritual Monster "Dragon Princess Saphira" to your hand.

Furthermore, if "Chaos Dragon" is successfully Synchro Summoned, reveal the top 5 cards of your deck, and add one LIGHT/DARK monster from them to your hand, sending the rest to the Graveyard.

Kyle flipped over five cards and tossed four of them into the graveyard: "I'm adding the LIGHT 'Judgment Dragon' to my hand, and sending the rest to the graveyard."

He then pointed to the graveyard: "Ban me from the graveyard with the Quick-Play Spell 'Two Sides of the Same Path', shuffle one LIGHT and one DARK monster from my graveyard back into my deck, and draw 1 card."

I'm adding the LIGHT "Lightsworn: Char" and the DARK "Witch of Paradise Lost" to my deck. Draw 1.

After glancing at the card he had drawn, Kyle played it without hesitation.

"Spell Card 'Discount Shopping': Discard 1 Level 8 Monster from your hand and draw 2 cards. I discard 'Judgment Dragon'."

Afterwards, if "Radiant Dragon Seifert Dragon" is placed in my Graveyard and is added to my Graveyard, I can add 1 LIGHT/DARK Level 8 Dragon-Type monster from my Graveyard to my hand and recycle the discarded "Judgment Dragon".

In this way, Kyle directly gained two free cards using "Discount Shopping" and "Radiant Dragon".

After obtaining the monster card featuring the snow-white dragon, Kyle smiled coldly: "Watch closely, Oros, I will blast your prized monster to smithereens!"

If you have 4 or more "Lightsworn" monsters in your Graveyard, you can Special Summon "Judgment Dragon" from your hand!

Enormous white wings blotted out the sky, even obscuring the brilliance of Vimana, the aerial fortress. Behind Kael appeared an incomparably holy and radiant dragon, with feathers more beautiful than those of angels, crimson claws, and flowing whiskers. Tidal waves of light radiated from its body, as if gilding everything.

[Judgment Dragon, Attack Power 3000]

Even upon seeing the Judgment Dragon appear, Oros maintained his poker face. Because of his cold personality and his past involvement in dangerous underground duels as a child, he preferred to present a cold facade, which made him appear unapproachable and also concealed his inner thoughts.

Kyle saw this image as a pretentious act. He felt that Oros was a hypocrite, pretending not to show his nervousness despite being very nervous inside.

"Ha, Oros, keep pretending. Let's see if you can still maintain this cold demeanor when your life is about to end!"

Kyle clenched his fist and roared, "The effect of 'Judgment Dragon' activates! Pay 1000 Life Points to destroy all other cards on the field! Get rid of those annoying monsters!"

[Kyle, Health 4000 → 3000]

Amidst the roar of the Judgment Dragon, light erupted like a stellar explosion, sweeping across the entire arena. Both the electronic dragon and the Vimana in the air slowly melted under the light, and the mechanical parts crackled and sparked.

Kael pointed to the spell beside him: "The Continuous Spell 'Lightsworn Realm' will place one Light Counter whenever a card from my Deck is sent to the Graveyard while it is on the field. And if a Lightsworn card on my field is destroyed by an effect, I can replace the destruction of one Lightsworn card by taking two Light Counters."

Previously, I sent cards from my deck to the graveyard four times. "Lightsworn Realm" placed four counters, which I removed and used to replace the effects of "Lightsworn Summoner Luminas" and "Lightsworn Beast Wolf," preventing "Judgment Dragon" from destroying them.

Oros glanced at the perpetual magic in one corner of the arena: "But the 'Magician's Left Hand' will also be destroyed."

"Whatever," Kyle scoffed. "Once the 'Judgment Dragon's' effect kicks in, you won't have any more resistance in your backcourt. It's practically useless!"

The light washed over the field like a tsunami, and the mechanical monsters on Oroth's field were finally destroyed with a loud "bang." Continuous Spells and Chaos Dragon followed suit. Only two "Lightsworn" cards were enveloped by a light golden barrier and remained unscathed from this divine attack.

At this moment, Oros raised his hand: "Then activate the effect of the Trap Card 'Cyber ​​Overflow'. If this card on the field is destroyed by a card effect, add 1 'Cyber' or 'Cyber ​​Tech' Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand."

“Meaningless!” Kyle scoffed. “Even if you search for a card, you can only use it next turn. Your field is completely empty. My ‘Judgment Dragon’ and ‘Lightsworn Beast’ can deal a total of 5100 battle damage, which is enough to finish you off… What!?”

With a sudden exclamation, Kyle was surprised to discover that the cards activated by the Oros Graveyard were not limited to "Cyber ​​Overflow".

"Kyle, I have three cards set in my back row, one of which is 'Cyber ​​Overflow,' but there's another card whose effect can be triggered even when destroyed by an effect. I'll activate its effect in Chain 2!"

Oros calmly explained, "If the Trap Card 'Easy Mode' is destroyed by an opponent's card effect and sent to the Graveyard, you can set up to two other Normal Trap Cards in your Graveyard, and these Set Cards can be activated this turn!"

The chain is processed in reverse order. First, chain 2 is processed, and the two cards are "swished" out of the graveyard and then set face-down by Oroth.

"I'm setting the Graveyard Trap Cards 'Cyber ​​Overflow' and 'Adventure of Draco' face-down!"

"Oh no!" Kyle's expression changed.

He realized he had fallen into a trap. The "Judgment Dragon's" field destruction was indiscriminate. Oros boldly and cleverly took advantage of this, allowing himself to destroy the "Magician's Left Hand" that could protect him, and then using the "Easy Mode" to recover the trap, which meant he lost no resistance at all.
