Chapter 49: Isn’t This a Meme from Our Dark-Attribute Deck?!

The vortex of fusion reopened, absorbing the minions that were about to become fusion material in a spiraling diffusion.

This time, however, Yide had become its master.

The heavily wounded [Giant Armadillo] already on the battlefield and the [Vulgar Imp] just added to Yide’s hand flew up, spinning and fusing in mid-air.

The next moment, a brand-new minion appeared on the field.

[Phantasm King Chimera ★★★★★★ (Six Star) Class C]

[Nature]

[Beast 5/3]

The two-headed monster with white wings slowly descended, flapping them.

Its lion-like head was held high, refusing to bow, and its large, pristine white wings continuously flapped behind it. Its tail, now a living venomous snake, flicked its forked tongue at the enemy.

Seeing this minion, Tivia couldn’t help but be lost in thought.

[Phantasm King Chimera]…

Was this the new fusion minion summoned from her deck?

“Heh, I thought he was going to summon something, but it’s just this garbage.”

Andral let out a cold laugh: “Are there no other fusion minions you can summon? A six-star with only 5/4 stats, such power won’t allow you to survive in a Dark Duel.”

“Is that so? What about this then?”

Yide extended his hand, and Chimera, as if sensing something, stood up and roared towards the sky.

Watching this scene, Andral was a bit confused.

What was he doing?

Activated an effect?

But why did nothing happen?

Soon, the confusion was resolved.

But this answer, he wished he had never heard.

“During the Battle Phase, [Phantasm King Chimera] has the Charge keyword, so it can attack directly.”

The giant beast flapped its wings, bursting forth with swift speed, and swept past Andral with its claws, leaving behind the sound of shattering glass.

Ping!

Andral HP: 15 → 10

“Tch, it’s nothing.”

Andral gritted his teeth, trying hard to hold on.

This level was nothing; this Chimera wouldn’t survive until the next attack…

“End of turn.”

Yide declared: “When [Phantasm King Chimera] is Fusion Summoned, its effect activates: During the End Phase of this turn, randomly send one card from your opponent’s hand to the Graveyard.”

“What?!”

Andral’s eyes immediately widened.

Discard one of my hand cards?

Isn’t this a trope for our Dark-type decks!

We Dark-types are the specialists at discarding the opponent’s hand! What right does your green deck have to discard my cards!

Andral cursed inwardly, but the activated effect could not be changed.

The next second, one of his two hand cards flew from his hand to the Graveyard.

Seeing that card, Andral almost blacked out.

The card discarded was the only removal card in his hand.

If he had that card, he could have removed this Chimera on the field without losing a single minion.

But now, Chimera was still alive, and that card had gone to the Graveyard first.

Never mind, calm down.

It’s just one card. That girl also used a minion card from her hand when fusing, so it’s a net neutral in the end.

Since things have come to this, he could only use minions to remove it.

Andral, who was somewhat agitated, gradually calmed down, drew a card, and after a glance, directly placed the drawn card into the Sacrifice Zone.

Then, he looked at the Chimera on Tivia’s field, his tone still subconsciously fierce: “[Gluttonous Wolf], get rid of this damn Chimera for me!”

Receiving the command, the horrifying, miserable-looking beasts successively pounced towards Chimera.

Yide watched the minion and his Chimera perish together, saying nothing.

At this moment, he was dueling for Tivia, and being able to summon Chimera was already taking advantage of the fact that this world had no extra deck.

Tivia’s deck did not contain cards with the Flash keyword, so it was impossible to keep Phantasm King Chimera safe during Andral’s turn.

Though, he never intended to protect Chimera in the first place.

On the other side, Andral breathed a sigh of relief, watching the minion that had discarded one of his cards finally die.

With this, that girl’s last reliance had also been broken.

Thinking this, Andral grinned again, revealing a twisted, exaggerated expression.

“Oh, what a shame.”

“Your minion doesn’t seem to be able to stay on the field very well.”

He drew a card: “Discarding one of my cards, that little trick did cause me a bit of trouble.”

“But if you think that can save you from your desperate situation, then you’re wrong!”

“I summon Demon Berserker!”

[Demon Berserker ★★★★★ (Five Star) Class D]

[Dark]

[Demon 6/5]

A demon with its face covered by a ram’s skull, dual-wielding broad greatswords, entered the battlefield.

“The effect of Demon Berserker: when it enters the field, it deals one damage to the opponent, and this action is repeated three times!”

Andral’s cold, piercing laughter, along with the sound of greatswords cleaving flesh, rang out.

Demon Berserker swung its blades, continuously hacking at Tivia’s life barrier, leaving three red marks.

Tivia HP: 11 → 10 → 9 → 8

Three consecutive pains inflicted upon Yide, making him frown.

“Heh heh, how does it feel, this continuous torment?”

Seeing the red-haired girl forcefully endure the pain while standing still, Andral’s smile on his face grew wider.

It was almost the sixth turn!

This woman should be unable to bear the mental pressure from the Dark Duel by now!

“—So that’s it. You feel like you can’t win anymore, so you’re resorting to these dirty tricks off the board?”

Andral’s face instantly turned cold.

Yide wiped away the illusory bloodstains on the life barrier: “Before, you were advising not to suffer too much, to surrender early for early relief. But now you’re hoping that the pain from the Dark Duel can directly defeat your opponent.”

“I have to say, as a duelist, you’re absolutely rotten.”

Even Gris El was far inferior.

“Hmph, anyone can say pretty words.”

Andral no longer maintained that feigned smile, his face turning cold: “Let’s see if you can get through the current predicament first.”

“Your life points are only eight, and the combined damage that my Demon Berserker plus Shadow Beast can inflict has already reached ten!”

“Most of the Natural-type deck’s board clears rely on minions. If you can’t summon a decent minion next turn, I’ll win!”

“I need to correct a misconception you have.”

Yide shook his head: “Why do you think that the quality of individual Natural-type cards can’t compete with Dark-type cards?”

“My turn, draw card.”

Yide controlled Tivia’s body, drew a card from the top of the deck, and without even looking, directly placed it into the Mana Zone.

“I sacrifice the card I just drew, and summon, Wildwood Stomper!”

[Wildwood Stomper ★★★★★★ (Six Star) Class C]

[Nature]

[Beast 5/4]

A flicker of excitement passed through Tivia’s eyes in her spirit form.

This was her power!

“The effect of Wildwood Stomper: when it enters the field, it deals damage to a target minion equal to its attack!”

“Additionally, Wildwood Stomper also has the Charge keyword!”

“What?!”
