"No, my intuition tells me that the S:P Little Knight in front of me isn't that simple. She should have a second Effect, maybe even a third," Wang Cheng said, looking at S:P Little Knight with deep eyes.
Is it strong to make two Monsters and Banish something by targeting it? Yes, it's strong, but definitely not incredibly strong. Maybe Saya has a second or third Effect, and one of those Effects is what makes S:P Little Knight the most versatile Link-2!
Also, S:P Little Knight is currently in the Extra Monster Zone. For most other Decks, this might be fine, but not Runick. Runick's Special Summoned Monsters can only be in the Extra Monster Zone. If there isn't a suitable other Effect, standing in that position, Youye, with his low life points, is very likely to be finished off next turn.
Munin watched quietly, waiting for the rest of the duel.
"I activate the Continuous Spell, [Dimensional Fissure]. Due to the Self-Restriction, I skip the Battle Phase and End Phase." At this point, after activating Dimensional Fissure, Youye chose to end his turn.
With the appearance of Dimensional Fissure, Wang Cheng and Luo Hao couldn't help but shake their heads. Chang Xingge's expression also became more serious, because with it on the field, the Monsters she sent to the Graveyard would be Banished directly and couldn't be recovered, meaning her resources couldn't be reused.
In a sense, it was certain that she had one more chance to finish the duel. If she didn't seize this chance, there would be no hope of winning.
Thinking this, she looked at the Deck on her arm and drew a card!
Seeing the card in her hand, a hint of joy appeared on her face. The chance to win the duel had arrived.
"Do you have any objections to going straight to Main Phase 1?" she asked.
"No," Youye replied with a smile after glancing at his hand.
"I Normal Summon Divine Tree, then Link Summon Magical (Banish Divine Tree) using Divine Tree. Then, I Special Summon Magic Mirror to Magical's Link Point. Magic Mirror and Magical's Effects will Chain themselves."
"Chain 2, Magical adds an Archetype Monster from the Deck to my hand. Chain 1, Magic Mirror targets one Mekk-Knight Archetype card on my field other than itself and one card on your field for Destruction. I choose Magical and the S:P Little Knight on your field as targets!"
After speaking, she looked at Youye. Just as Wang Cheng and Luo Hao had thought, she naturally also thought that S:P Little Knight had other Effects. Now that she had actively targeted her for Destruction, it was up to Youye whether to Chain or not.
"I Chain 3 the Quick-Play Spell [Runick Flurry of Fowling] from my hand, targeting the Magic Mirror on your field. I activate it to negate Magic Mirror's Effect until the End Phase, and then Banish the top three cards of your Deck!" Youye said with a smile, following the Chain.
Seeing Youye's Chain, Chang Xingge instantly understood that Saya didn't have a Monster negate. For a moment, she felt a sense of relief, and the hope in her heart grew stronger. With her current hand, finishing off Youye this turn became increasingly possible.
The Effects began to resolve: Chain 3, Runick Flurry of Fowling successfully activates, Magic Mirror is negated until the End Phase, and the top three cards of Chang Xingge's Deck are Banished; Chain 2, Magical's Effect adds Celestial from the Deck to her hand; Chain 1, Magic Mirror's Effect is negated.
"I set Magic Mirror and Magical's Link Arrows and Link Summon Leo. Then, I Special Summon Stardust to Leo's Link Point. Celestial and Leo will Chain themselves. I choose Chain 1 Stardust and Chain 2 Leo."
After speaking, she was about to resolve the Effects when she noticed the turn had passed to Youye. However, it quickly returned to her. For a moment, she looked at Youye in confusion, wondering what other interruptions he had in his hand.
"You continue. I'll call a stop when I want to make a move," Youye said with an innocent smile.
Is it possible that I don't want you to call a stop? And even more, I don't want you to make a move?
Seeing Youye say this, clearly not hiding the fact that he had interruptions in his hand, although she didn't know if it was a Runick Quick-Play interruption or a S:P Little Knight interruption, Chang Xingge's face darkened. She couldn't help but complain in her heart while thinking of a countermeasure.
"Chain 2, Leo, I add the Quick-Play Spell [Mekk-Knight Contract] to my hand; Chain 1, Stardust's Effect, I add Beast from the Graveyard to my hand!"
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell Mekk-Knight Contract. Until the End Phase, you cannot activate the Effects of Spell, Trap, or Monster Cards against my Mekk-Knight Monsters!"
"I Chain 2 S:P Little Knight's second Effect. When your opponent activates an Effect, I can target two Monsters, including a Monster on my field, and Banish them until the End Phase. The targets I Banish are Saya herself and the Leo on your field," Youye immediately said with a smile when he saw this.
Chang Xingge had no further Chains. The Effects resolved: Chain 2, S:P Little Knight's Effect, Saya and Leo are Banished; Chain 1, Mekk-Knight Contract successfully activates.
Seeing the Effects resolve, Chang Xingge was a little surprised. This Effect was far from as strong as she had imagined. It only caused her to temporarily lose two field presence points, which was a bit painful, but not very painful.
Just as she was thinking this, Wang Cheng and Luo Hao on the field couldn't sit still. Luo Hao immediately blurted out, "Holy cow!!! What kind of ridiculous Effect is this?"
"It is ridiculous! This Effect is too flexible. If there are no surprises, it can also dodge Effect Veiler and targeting cards, right?" Wang Cheng nodded silently, showing a hint of fear towards Youye.
Yes, it was fear!
Having Baronne, Effect Veiler, and Infinite Impermanence, three versatile cards, and adjusting the Deck Build was already ridiculous. He had notified Luo Hao about this yesterday evening, and Luo Hao naturally reported it to the Provincial Supervision Bureau. After work today, some higher-ups in the bureau were already preparing to take Youye as a disciple or use some other method to get Youye to join the Supervision Bureau. At the very least, they wanted to offer incentives to win him over.
However, before the three plans had yielded any results, another heavyweight had arrived, one even more ridiculous than Baronne. He was even wondering if Youye was the incarnation of a high-level Spirit, otherwise how could he be so ridiculous? How could he so easily and casually pull out such ridiculous cards?
Munin's mouth curved upwards. She felt that she had to contact Hugin and the others in the Spirit World, whom she hadn't contacted in a long time, to give Youye's Runick Archetype greater authority and try their best to befriend Youye. Otherwise, when Youye completely went out into the world, he might not even think highly of their Runick Archetype.
Making Youye stronger was one aspect. Another aspect was that giving Youye cards would definitely gradually increase the bond between him and their Runick Spirits. When it reached a certain limit, she could use his cards with Youye's permission.
This was also why she wasn't as anxious as Bai Yun'er and the others when she saw Baronne and these cards yesterday. As long as she didn't do things Youye disliked, she would eventually obtain them. What was there to be anxious about?
After all, their Spirits were not like humans; there was no such thing as betrayal. Even some Spirits who were one-to-many were like this; they would treat everyone equally during infighting.
Chang Xingge frowned tightly, then her brows relaxed. Dodging Effect Veiler, dodging targeting? Is it important now? No, it's not important!
Now Youye was wide open, with only two cards in his hand. If he didn't have a Runick Quick-Play Spell, she still had a chance to finish him off. So, she continued to build her board.
"I Link Summon the third Magical using Stardust, then Special Summon Beast to Magical's Link Point. Beast and Magical Link Summon the third Leo, and Leo's Link Point Special Summons Celestial. Celestial and Leo Link Summon the second Hieratic!" (Note: Magical and Leo's Effects are once per turn per card name)
"I use Hieratic to declare an Attack!"
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell [Runick Flurry of Fowling]. I choose to Special Summon a Runick Archetype Monster, so I Special Summon Geri in Defense Position."
"Come out, Hugin!"
After Youye spoke, a purple dog wearing a scarf appeared on the field.
"Chain 1, Fountain's Effect, targeting Runick Flurry of Fowling and Freezing Curses in the Graveyard; Chain 2, Geri's Effect from being Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, I can add a non-Runick Quick-Play Spell Card from the Graveyard to my hand."
"Following the principle of resolving from the end of the Chain, Chain 2, Geri's Effect, I add the Continuous Spell [Runick Allure] to my hand. Chain 1, Fountain's Effect, I draw two cards!"
After doing all this, Youye glanced at his hand and looked at Chang Xingge with a smile, "Are you still attacking?"
"Attack!"
Seeing that all her resources were Banished in one turn, not only did Youye not lose a single Monster, but he also gained more and more cards. If she didn't attack, the duel would completely lose hope!
"It's over," After she declared another attack, Wang Cheng and Luo Hao exchanged glances, and Luo Hao sighed softly.
The moment his voice came out, Chang Xingge suddenly realized another problem. Munin had two Effects, so how could Geri only have a Graveyard recovery Effect?
But... now... it had already entered the Damage Step, and there was no way to stop it. Wang Cheng and Luo Hao had clearly spoken because they knew it couldn't be stopped.
