"Human duelist, you really know how to use hand traps!"
Albus frowned. After the brand fusion was successful, one of the two hand pits he least wanted to eat was Sakuya Shigure, which greatly interfered with his performance.
Of course, the only saving grace is that it wasn't the original life form Nibiru; if it were, it would have been even more unbearable.
"It's just common sense," You Ye replied politely.
Effects that occur later but are processed earlier: C2 Sakuya Shigure's effect is successfully activated; C1 Hekken Dragon's Great Puppet Theater Dragon's effect is nullified;
After the effect was finished, Albus took out a card and spoke again.
"You Ye, you can't stop me like this!"
"The effect of my card 【Treasure Guardian Fairy】 is: Once per turn, if there is a Fusion Monster in your field or Graveyard that requires me as Fusion Material, Special Summon this card from your hand."
"The second effect of Treasure Guardian Fairy: If this card is Normal or Special Summoned, add 1 Spell/Trap Card with the [Mark] field from your Deck, Graveyard, and banished cards to your hand. Then, add 1 card from your hand to the bottom of your Deck."
"I choose to add the Quick-Play Spell [Mark of Hell] from my deck to my hand, and then return one card to the bottom of my deck."
"Next, I will move on to my main phase three (end of round phase)."
"So you did this to avoid my trap by not searching for the White Mark but for the Crimson Mark, right?"
Upon hearing his announcement, Youye recalled the jokes about the brand in his previous life. Because the brand often moved more than the second major phase and occasionally the first major phase at the end of the round, it was jokingly called the third major phase of the brand.
Of course, the most important thing is that he grasped this point and did not continue to make moves during the main phase, but instead made moves at the end of the round. This is a good way to prevent being caught off guard and blocked.
The surrounding elves were also amazed by the contest between the two, and it began as soon as the arena was set up.
Those who initially thought that Youye only possessed this power by using extraordinary abilities like the Divine Stele have now changed their minds.
Everyone is looking forward to the outcome of this duel, to see who will see through the illusions to the end and ultimately emerge victorious.
"Since you've seen through it all, I'll continue."
Albus didn't pretend; he knew that Youye was very familiar with the brand and the use of the hand pit, so there was no point in him pretending.
"First, there's the effect of Magma Dragon. I search for [Abyssal Beast Saron Dragon] and add it to my hand."
"Since you're not going to pretend anymore, then I won't either."
You Ye looked at the card in his hand and spoke up.
Upon hearing You Ye's words, Abusi became wary, wondering what You Ye was planning to do.
However, as he followed You Ye's movements, he quickly relaxed and continued moving as well.
"I activate the effect of the card [Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon] in my hand, discard it, and search my Deck for one Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon to add to my hand."
"My C2 Chain Quick-Play Spell [The Mark of Albus] can be activated once per turn by targeting 1 monster in your Graveyard with the 'Death Land' or 'The Mark of Albus' 's Mark' 'spell' field. Add that monster to your hand. Then you can banish the Fusion Material Monsters specified by a Level 8 or higher Fusion Monster Card from your hand or field to Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck."
"I will naturally target Albus in the cemetery!"
Effects that occur later but are dealt with first: c2 The effect of the Mark of the Hercules returns Albus's Fallen from the graveyard to your hand, and then fuses with the Treasure Cannon Fairy on the field to become [Divine Flame Dragon Hercules]; c1 Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon's effect is successfully activated;
"The effect of Divine Flame Dragon: Hellfire Dragon: This card is activated by discarding 1 card after a successful Fusion Summon. Return the Fusion Material Monsters listed on a Level 8 or lower Fusion Monster Card (excluding Divine Flame Dragon: Hellfire Dragon) from your field, Graveyard, and banished monsters to your Deck, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck."
"I discard the Abyssal Beast Saronite Dragon from my hand and fuse myself, which is banished, with the Divine Flame Dragon on the field!"
"The newborn dragon and the ancient chill merge here!"
"Let the fury that has plummeted to freezing point solidify into an extremely cold sword blade, and with that sharpness, freeze and slay all enemies!"
"Fusion Summoning, Sword Slayer for Evil Enemies!"
"【Ice Sword Dragon Illusion Ice Dragon】!"
Albus picked up a card from his Extra Deck and placed it on the Duel Disk. The surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, and a chill made Yuya's expression slightly serious for the first time.
The chill didn't affect his duel yet, but who knows what might happen later.
He is not afraid of duels, but in this world of elves, there are also high-level duelists whose summoned monsters are enough to change the environment.
If too many factors influence his thinking, then the outcome becomes uncertain.
Just then, a low thud came from beneath You Ye.
It was Kit who threw a ball the size of a fist not far from him. The moment the ball appeared, a warm feeling came from around him, and at the same time, the chill and pressure suddenly decreased.
Seeing this, Yu Ye looked at Kit with gratitude and then focused his gaze back on the duel.
The elves, including Baitiandi, frowned upon seeing this; they found it difficult to approve of this approach of helping Youye.
However, seeing that Albus himself hadn't made a statement, they were unhappy but also understood that Albus didn't want to win against the human duelist in front of them through such means, so they didn't say anything and continued to watch the duel.
At this moment, Albus's card had already landed on the Duel Disk, and in an instant, most of the Duel Arena was covered in ice. A giant dragon standing on two legs, its entire body covered in extremely cold ice swords, appeared on the field.
【Ice Sword Dragon Illusion Ice Dragon】
[Phantom Dragon Race/Fusion/Effect/Dark/Level 8]
ATK: 3000; DEF: 2500
"The effect of Saronite Dragon, the Beast of the Graveyard, is activated. I can send 1 Spell/Trap Card with the [Brand] field from my Deck to the Graveyard; I choose to send the Continuous Spell [Brand Re-Brand] from my Deck to the Graveyard!"
"Following the effect of the Continuous Trap Card [Branded Beast] on the field, once per turn, during your or your opponent's End Phase, target 1 [Branded] Continuous Spell/Continuous Trap Card in your Graveyard, and place that card face-up on your field. I target the Branded Beast that I just sent to the Graveyard, and place it face-up on the field."
"Ice Sword Dragon's effect: Once per turn for either player, send 1 Fusion Monster made using me as Fusion Material from your Extra Deck to the Graveyard, or banish 1 monster on the field without targeting. Then, next turn, this card cannot use this effect. I send Brand Dragon White World Dragon from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard to activate this effect!"
"Just then, when my C2 Chain Iron Dragon Blue Flood Dragon effect is activated, it is activated when the effect of a Fusion/Synchro/Xyz/Link Monster is activated. That effect is negated. After that, you can select 1 monster on the field and return it to its owner's hand."
"After negating the effect of C2 Iron Dragon Blue Flood Dragon, I don't choose to discard cards; after C1 Ice Sword Dragon's effect sends the Graveyard Brand Dragon White World Dragon to the Graveyard, its effect is then negated!"
"Interesting, that's a good understanding of branding."
Looking at the scene before him, You Ye sighed.
This was one of the few times in this world that he had seen a usage that was used correctly.
As You Ye spoke, Abusi looked thoughtful and said nothing more.
The expressions of all the terminals imprinted on the world present changed.
If the situation just now was a change, this is truly shocking.
When the elves present first met Albus, they all thought he had made a mistake and that this was their chance.
But they were the ones in the wrong!
Because this issue arises from the fact that the Ice Sword Dragon's banishment effect is within the same rule as its activation, simply put, if its banishment effect is invalidated, the self-restraint that prevents the activation of its effect in the next turn is gone.
I didn't even get a free extra monster sent to the graveyard, I made a killing!
They failed to realize this and suffered a great loss as a result.
But You Ye could tell at a glance, without the slightest surprise, that this understanding of the rules of effect was far beyond what they had imagined.
Gradually, they began to understand why the sword spirits had chosen Youye as their master.
"I'm starting to look forward to your breakthrough." Albus looked at You Ye and smiled.
"Then hurry up and finish, there are only two more steps." You Ye also smiled.
“Alright!” Albus nodded, then pointed to the statue of the Holy Maiden of He, Caltesia, in the cemetery and made a declaration.
"Caltisia, the Saintess of the Graveyard, effect: Card name once per turn. If a Fusion Monster is sent to your Graveyard this turn, you can activate this effect during the End Phase. Add this card from your Graveyard to your hand."
"The second effect of the Branded Dragon White World Dragon that Ice Sword Dragon just sent to the Graveyard: Once per turn, during the End Phase of the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard, you can add 1 [Branded] Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand or Set it on your field."
"I choose to place the counter trap [Branded Judgment] on the field."
"Okay, it's your turn."
After doing all this, Albus looked at You Yedao.
You Ye nodded as he looked at the scene.
The back row's Judgment can Special Summon a three-color card to counterattack; the Branded Beast can destroy a card; the Branded Beast can pull a monster and recycle a card to draw a card; the front row's Ice Sword Dragon can banish a monster without targeting; the Iron Dragon can negate an Extra Monster and bounce a card; the Hell Dragon can transform into a Demon Knight to counter a monster effect or transform a monster with 0 ATK into a monster like the Fiend Knight.
After drawing the cards, looking at the cards in his hand, Youye felt a bit pressured and wasn't as casual as before.
For a moment, he began to think about how to break through the current situation.
At this moment, all the terminals in the world of Branding breathed a sigh of relief.
Are you kidding me? Albus's place is practically a dragon charging in, how could he possibly lose? It would be pure nonsense if he lost, okay?
So for a while, their mood improved considerably.
Compared to them, after some thought, Youye found the most suitable way to break through and started.
"I activate my Normal Spell [Temptation of Darkness], draw 2 cards from my Deck, and then banish 1 DARK monster from my hand. If I have no DARK monsters in my hand, I send all my cards to the Graveyard, draw 2, and banish 'Thunder Beast Dragon - Thunder Dragon' from my hand."
"Thunder Beast Dragon - Thunder Dragon's effect activates if a card is banished. Special Summon 1 [Thunder Dragon] monster from your Deck in Defense Position. The monster Special Summoned by this effect returns to its owner's hand during the End Phase."
"My C2 Chain Continuous Spell Rebrand effect can be activated once per turn by targeting 1 LIGHT/DARK monster if it is banished. Return that monster to the bottom of its owner's Deck, and draw 1 card. I will then target Thunder Beast Dragon that you banished!"
Upon seeing this, Albus immediately continued the chain without hesitation.
Yu Ye's side has no chain, and the effect comes first after the effect comes later, so let's start dealing with it: c2's effect of Rebranding Thunder Beast Dragon - Thunder Dragon returns to the bottom of the deck, Albus draws 1; c1's effect of Thunder Beast Dragon Special Summoning Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon from the deck.
After processing the effects, Youye looked at Albus and knew that he would definitely activate two effects.
He used one of the effects to figure out how to create the scene.
Albus noticed Youye's gaze, and without saying a word, started eating.
"If your opponent Special Summons a monster due to its effect, banish this card from the field or Graveyard to activate this effect. Special Summon 1 'Teach' monster from your Deck or 1 'Deathbound' monster from your Extra Deck."
