Swordsoul Grandmaster - Chengying!

Chapter 3: Swordsoul Grandmaster - Chengying!

"I have a question. Why don't you use other summoning methods? Like Synchro Summon or Link Summon? Haven't you tried?"

After a while, he glanced at Blue-Eyes White Dragon before looking at Bai Yun'er in front of him.

The appearance of a noble Tribute Summon in a Swordsoul Deck was simply too shocking!

"Because of Synchro Self-Restriction and not having suitable monsters."

Bai Yun'er answered without any hesitation, as if it were the correct answer.

"What about the Archetype? Is it possible the Swordsoul Archetype has Extra Deck Boss Monsters? Look, the Token your monster just summoned is a Tuner Monster. You can totally use it for Synchro Summon."

Youye's mouth twitched slightly as he pressed on.

It was the first time he'd heard that Swordsoul didn't have suitable Extra Deck monsters?

Chixiao, Chengying, Konami, have you guys been removed from the Swordsoul Archetype in this world?

"Looks like you don't understand Swordsoul at all. The Thirteen Swords you just mentioned was probably made up too."

"My Swordsoul Archetype comes with one Level 8 [Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous] and one Level 9 [Swordsoul Supreme Sovereign - Chengying] as boss monsters. Plus, there are two Level 6 mid-level monsters, one of which is the Longyuan you just saw, and another named Pure Iron!"

Seeing Youye not speaking, Bai Yun'er started introducing things to him on her own.

"...Alright. Tell me when you're finished."

Youye didn't know where to even begin complaining.

It was the first time he'd heard that Swordsoul Strategist and Swordsoul Dragon were the boss monsters of the Swordsoul Archetype, and that Swordsoul didn't need Extra Deck boss monsters. If someone said that in front of Card Players in his previous life, he didn't know how long they'd laugh.

"I set one card and end my turn!"

Seeing Youye say that, Bai Yun'er felt a bit disappointed and helpless.

She understood that this senior Earth-level Duelist in front of her couldn't help her solve the issues with the Swordsoul Archetype, otherwise he wouldn't have that hesitant expression.

"My turn. Anything during the Draw Phase or Standby Phase?"

After glancing at the card he drew and quickly planning his strategy, Youye asked Bai Yun'er.

"No, my backrow is an Attack Declaration Trap, [Magic Cylinder]. Senior, feel free to make your moves."

Bai Yun'er quickly shook her head, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked at Youye. Youye was clearly an average Earth-level Duelist, so why did he seem so professional?

"Okay, sounds good!"

He didn't know what to say about her voluntarily revealing her backrow.

What's the most important thing for a Duelist? Information advantage!

The more information advantage you have, the better you know how to respond and how to win against your opponent. If all your information is known, it means your actions can be predicted by the opponent, allowing them to make the most suitable interruptions.

Considering she was about to become his client, Youye decided to remind her after the duel. Otherwise, this little girl was so bad it was a little heartbreaking.

"I activate the Spell Card [Chaos Zone]! By its effect, I send [Bystial Magnamhut], a DARK Attribute monster in my hand, to the Graveyard, then add [Bystial Druiswurm], a LIGHT Attribute Level 8 card, to my hand!"

"The Bystial Archetype? Senior, why have I never heard of this Archetype?"

Bai Yun'er looked at the two monsters in the operation log with curiosity. However, due to the rules of the duel, she couldn't see their effects unless the opponent used them. She could only see the ATK and Level of the two Bystial monsters.

Even so, it greatly surprised her!

First, she ignored Bystial Druiswurm. A Level 8 monster with 2500 ATK was too weak, not even as good as a scale from Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

In comparison, Bystial Magnamhut, at Level 6, had a full 2500 ATK, which was 100 ATK higher than her Archetype's Pure Iron, comparable to Dark Magician and Elemental HERO Neos!

The key point was that it was only Level 6, and only required one Tribute to summon such a strong monster!

"It's fine, you'll know after today's duel."

Youye smiled and didn't explain.

The strength of the Bystial Archetype was perfectly demonstrated by Konami's Forbidden & Limited List in his previous life: Bystial Magnamhut limited to 1, Bystial Druiswurm limited to 1, Bystial Baldrake limited to 1, Bystial Lubellion limited to 1. How tragic!

"Bystial Magnamhut's effect when sent to the Graveyard sends [Branded Retribution], a Continuous Spell in my Deck, to the Graveyard. Bystial Druiswurm's effect from the hand sends this card to the Graveyard to search for a Bystial Archetype monster other than Bystial Druiswurm from my Deck and add it to my hand. I choose to add [Bystial Magnamhut] to my hand!"

"Bystial Magnamhut's effect activates targeting Bystial Magnamhut in my Graveyard. I Banish it, then Special Summon Bystial Magnamhut. Immediately after, I activate Bystial Magnamhut's summon effect: during the End Phase, add one Dragon-Type monster other than Bystial Magnamhut from my Deck to my hand!"

After saying that, a dark red giant dragon with two legs and hands and arms covered in metal appeared on Youye's field.

"So strong! It Special Summoned a Level monster with 2500 ATK so easily, only 500 ATK less than Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon!"

Bai Yun'er's eyes were filled with undisguised surprise at the scene before her.

In her mind, the strongest monster that could Special Summon itself from the hand using its own effect was [Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon], with 3000 ATK and an effect to destroy a monster once per turn. It was simply invincible!

It was just a shame she didn't pursue the Blue-Eyes Archetype. Getting Blue-Eyes White Dragon was already the limit, and she hadn't obtained Alternative White Dragon.

"Senior, can all Bystial monsters Special Summon like this... Sorry, Senior, I spoke out of turn!"

Just now, she realized another problem. Besides the Special Summoned Bystial Magnamhut, there were also Bystial Magnamhut and Bystial Lubellion. If they all had such Special Summon effects, then Blue-Eyes White Dragon or other stronger Level monsters could be summoned whenever desired. That was truly terrifying!

So she subconsciously asked, but before she finished, she remembered that most Duelists, especially high-level ones, wouldn't reveal card information, because sometimes an information advantage could decide the outcome of a duel. So she immediately changed her words and apologized.

"It's fine, consider this part of your tuition. The four Level 6 Bystial monsters each have an effect that allows them to Banish a LIGHT or DARK Attribute monster from either player's field or Graveyard once per turn to Special Summon themselves. If the opponent has a monster on their field, they can also Special Summon during the opponent's turn."

Youye answered with a smile.

As for the Bystials, never mind just telling her their Special Summon information, he could tell her all their effects. It didn't matter since he didn't have the physical cards anyway, so revealing the information wouldn't affect him. The main thing was that, as far as he knew, no one in the real world had obtained this Archetype yet.

What? Affecting him in Master Duel?

His deck was Bystial Dragon Link, even if it was modified into a beginner-friendly version. Even if she knew the effects of the entire deck, he'd still dominate.

This wasn't something that could be made up for by information difference. The overall strength of the deck wasn't comparable to this primitive world. Not to mention, in Master Duel, he had never used his main Archetype, Tearlaments.

If someone really angered him in Master Duel, he wouldn't mind letting the people of this world know what true power, true beauty, and true immortality were!

Hearing Youye's words, Bai Yun'er looked completely incredulous.

With 2500 ATK, and the ability to Special Summon during the opponent's turn, meaning it could block attacks during the Battle Phase, its strength was absolutely maxed out, right?

"Senior, if the Bystial Archetype is so strong, is it because you don't have powerful Extra Deck Boss Monsters, which is why you can't reach a higher rank?"

Bai Yun'er looked at Youye curiously.

If the Bystials were this strong, why was Youye's rank only Platinum III? It seemed a bit mismatched with the strength of the Bystial Archetype.

"Bystial Extra Deck Boss Monsters? There are two! One is rarely used, and the other often goes out to 'work'. The main thing is, no one uses the Bystial engine as the main focus of a deck. Generally, it's used as a small engine."

Youye answered without hesitation.

Youye's words made Bai Yun'er stand up in shock.

"Such a strong Archetype as a small engine? How strong must the main engine be?"

"Calm down, sit down first, I'm not finished."

Youye extended his hand, motioning for her to calm down, and continued operating the device.

"I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card from my hand, [Quick Launch]! This allows me to Special Summon 1 'Rokket' monster from my deck. However, monsters Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack and are destroyed during the End Phase."

"The monster I choose to Special Summon is the Level 4 'Rokket' Tuner Monster, [Rokket Tracer]! Then I will Tune it with the Level 6 Magna Dracon on the field. Six plus four, therefore I can Synchro Summon a Level 10 Synchro Monster that meets the conditions!"

"Ancient sword energy gathers here! With a desperate stand, suppress the enemy's wild roar! With extreme cold, open the path before me!"

"Synchro Summon! Level 10!"

"[Swordsoul Grandmaster - Chengying] (ATK position)!"
