Right now, the fact that he has a Deck hasn't spread, and he hasn't officially gone out to duel yet. Once he does, the Runick engine will definitely be targeted and studied by others.
After all, he's different from Munin. As a Spirit of the Runick Archetype, Munin isn't missing any cards. In contrast, with only one Field card, any opponent with a normal brain would definitely include cards like Cosmic Cyclone to counter him. If the Field is banished, the Runick engine collapses immediately.
Having two copies of Fountain is different. It's both a safeguard and allows for another combo, since the Field's Effect doesn't have a "once per turn per card name" restriction!
"That's what I was thinking too, but Kitkallos, since you've helped me so much, I'll show you the strongest form of Tearlaments." Youye naturally wasn't heartless. Since Kitkallos had helped him so much, not using Tearlaments at this moment would be a bit unreasonable.
"Strongest form?" Kitkallos was full of confusion. Her Tearlaments were already this strong, were there other forms?
"Watch closely. The cards I've decided on are [Herald of Orange Light] and [Kelbek the Ancient Vanguard]!" Youye didn't explain further, preparing to prove everything with action.
"Huh?" Kitkallos looked even more bewildered. One card from the Herald Archetype, and one from an unknown Archetype. Did these two cards have anything to do with her Tearlaments? They were completely unrelated, right?
Just as Kitkallos was looking bewildered, the Puzzle Duel began, asking Youye if he wanted to chain Maxx "C". Of course, Youye immediately chained!
"Of course I'll chain! I chain Herald of Orange Light's Effect as Chain Link 2. When the opponent activates a monster effect, I can send one Fairy monster from my hand and itself to the Graveyard to negate and destroy the activation. I activate this by sending [Kelbek the Ancient Vanguard] from my hand and itself to the Graveyard!"
Effect resolution: Herald of Orange Light's Effect as Chain Link 2 successfully activates;
Maxx "C"'s Effect as Chain Link 1 is negated;
"Youye, I'm really touched, but doing this... huh?" After the effects resolved, seeing Youye discard his entire hand to stop Maxx "C", Kitkallos was about to advise him. Just as she said half her sentence, she suddenly froze.
"If Kelbek is sent to the Graveyard from the hand or Deck, you can activate its effect: each player sends the top 5 cards of their Deck to the Graveyard."
After Keldo the Sacred Protector's Effect activated, Youye looked at Kitkallos with a mischievous smile and asked, "What were you just saying?"
"You're mean!" The moment he used the mill five, Kitkallos said with a blush and a pout.
As a Spirit of the Tearlaments Archetype, in a duel with a randomly set Deck order like this, the meaning of milling five was self-evident.
This time, Youye's mill five resulted in four cards with Graveyard effects, including a Keldo the Sacred Protector. The card without an effect was King of the Swamp.
This couldn't help but remind Youye of a line from a song from before: Ishizu Tearlaments, Herald mills Kelbek, Kelbek mills Keldo the Sacred Protector, and then beats you into a pulp~
"The cards I milled to the Graveyard have multiple effects, so they'll start self-chaining!"
"I choose Shaddoll Beast's Effect as Chain Link 1 to draw one, Merrli's Effect as Chain Link 2 to Fusion Summon with a monster in the Graveyard/Field/hand, Haval's Effect as Chain Link 3 to search for an Archetype Trap card from the Deck and add it to my hand, and Keldo the Sacred Protector as Chain Link 4 for both of us to mill five again!"
Just as Youye was about to continue his plays after the effects resolved, he found that this Puzzle Duel was stuck, preventing him from operating. Of course, it didn't skip ahead either, it was like a replay had been paused.
Then, after about ten seconds, the dueling platform directly disappeared. The Dueling Rules acknowledged Youye's victory in this manner.
Youye: ?
My chain was just starting, and you ran away?
"So amazing! Even the Dueling Rules are scared, they don't even want to continue dueling with you. When I go back, I'm going to add Herald and the two soldiers to my Deck Build too, and see if Kashtira from Visas Starfrost still dares to banish my family!" Kitkallos looked at Youye with sparkling eyes. She had originally thought her Tearlaments were at their limit, but now it seemed she could become even stronger.
"Normal play." Youye waved his hand, not bothered. This was just a basic play for Ishizu Tearlaments.
As Youye's words fell, the originally blank space began to glow with a soft light blue radiance. Under this white light, four cards appeared in Kitkallos's hand.
And under this light blue radiance, a light blue 'Yellow' character slowly appeared on Youye's arm. This was the start of his Rank, and it represented Youye becoming a true Duelist.
As the light blue radiance dissipated, Kitkallos immediately hugged Youye, handing him the four cards in her hand, and spoke with great excitement.
"Youye, I can give you new cards now! And they're our Tearlaments Boss Monsters, [Tearlaments Rulkallos] and [Tearlaments Kaleido-Heart], as well as our Tearlaments Archetype Counter Trap [Primeval Planet Perlereino] and Continuous Trap [Tearlaments Sulliek]!"
"The pure Archetype, everything is here except for one useless Field card. As long as we get multiple copies of the same card, Youye, you can use me!"
"Use you?" Youye took the cards, a hint of a mischievous smile on his face, looking at the bold Kitkallos.
"No, no, it's use our Tearlaments!" Kitkallos blushed and quickly let go of Youye.
"Don't run. I'll just collect some interest this time. See you next time!" Youye pulled back the fleeing Kitkallos, kissed her forehead, and then slowly said.
The moment he finished speaking, the surrounding scenery instantly changed. Kitkallos next to him had a red face filled with reluctance, and before he could speak, he was back on the stone platform. At this moment, other than the four extra cards in his hand, nothing else had changed.
"Congratulations, senior, on completing the certification and obtaining new cards!"
Chang Xingge watched Youye open his eyes, her gaze sweeping over the four cards in Youye's hand. With a smile, she immediately walked over to offer her congratulations.
"Yes, this certification is indeed worth congratulating. Not only was it satisfying, but the harvest was also pretty good."
Youye smiled and nodded. The wheelchair Tearlaments Archetype was now complete. Adding the generic cards he had exchanged before, what he lacked were about ten main Deck cards with Graveyard effects and some Extra Deck monsters. Once he got them, he could start.
"Satisfying?" Chang Xingge and Munin had varying degrees of curiosity on their faces.
"Yeah, it's a shame I only got halfway through the satisfaction before the Dueling Rules ran away." Youye nodded, his eyes full of regret.
He had waited so long to collect his Deck, and this rare opportunity to get back at the rules was only half-realized. It was just a pity that the Dueling Rules really ran away too quickly. He felt good, but not completely satisfied.
Hiss~
Upon hearing this, both girls simultaneously took a sharp breath, and at the same time, their curiosity grew. What exactly did Youye do to make the Dueling Rules run away?
Yes, both girls chose to believe him, mainly because there was no reason not to. Munin knew Youye's strength, and Chang Xingge had never seen a Duelist obtain four cards during Yellow-tier certification. A King Level Duelist recorded by the Duel Association only got two during their certification!
Directly obtaining four cards, the significance was self-evident!
Please collect, please follow, begging for everything. Continuing to duel myself for material~
