On the other side, Shen Sui's turn proceeded without any hindrance.

He normally summoned the from his hand.

Then he activated the effect of the Golden Ship, specially summoning .

After paying the cost, Alice transformed into a 5-star Red Lotus Fire form, then he activated the effect of the Golden Ship to specially summon a 5-star follower from the deck.

Ada filled all the follower slots with derivatives.

Shen Sui directly activated the effect of from his hand, sacrificed the five followers on the field, and normally summoned Qishala.

Everything went very smoothly.

When Shen Sui searched Qishala from the deck, everyone present knew what Shen Sui intended to do.

Wang Ming watched as Shen Sui effortlessly summoned such a game-ending massive weapon and finally understood why was placed on the Forbidden Card List.

Actually, Qishala was the card that truly deserved to be banned.

Unfortunately, it was a Soul Card, and Soul Cards couldn't be placed on the Forbidden Card List.

The only way to limit Qishala was to weaken Shen Sui's method of summoning Qishala in one turn as much as possible.

But...is that really possible?

Wang Ming was highly skeptical.

However, this time around, Chen Weiming didn't have a follower that couldn't be destroyed by battle on his field, and Shen Sui's deck wasn't manipulated by him.

If Chen Weiming had slightly better luck, he might be able to hold on until the next round.

By the next round, Qishala could be dealt with by normal means.

Qishala launched the first attack.

She directly battled and destroyed the newcomer maid with the lowest Spirit Value.

At the moment of damage calculation, Qishala's effect activated.

"Activating Qishala's effect," Shen Sui began the effect adjudication. As long as the card drawn was a Follower Card, this duel would conclude.

If the adjudication result wasn't a Follower Card, this attack would be deemed as if nothing happened.

Chen Weiming's gaze tightly focused on Shen Sui's hand.

The Life Card was slowly flipped open.

.

Follower Card.

Qishala gained an additional attack.

"Sorry about that," Shen Sui said to Chen Weiming, "It seems this duel is mine."

Qishala launched an attack on the Witch with a Pointed Hat.

The attack landed successfully.

However, the victory scene Shen Sui imagined did not appear.

Timing?

After a brief silence, Chen Weiming slowly opened his graveyard and said, "Activating the effect of the Soul Card form , which can be activated when I receive fatal battle damage, nullifying the damage and specially summoning my Soul Card in that form onto the field."

The heavily scarred little girl, holding a long sword with many nicks, appeared bravely on Chen Weiming's field.

"In the turn Heroic Girl in Dire Straits appears, the battle damage I receive is reduced to 0."

Huh?

Shen Sui looked at the little heroic girl on the opponent's field, who seemed like she might collapse at any moment.

Unexpectedly, this little girl restrained Qishala so effectively.

Shen Sui conducted more adjudication.

However, this time his luck wasn't great, revealing an Event Card .

"My turn ends," Shen Sui ended his turn decisively.

A slight pity.

But this was already the best move he could think of with such a starting hand.

Due to lack of cost, he did not set any cards.

After the summoning turn, Qishala is actually easy to counter, being a follower that has lost its resistance.

This is the downside of summoning Qishala; after a five-for-one exchange, if there's no way to defeat the opponent, it enters a period of void.

Due to activating , Shen Sui's Life Value had already dropped to 3000.

"My turn, draw card."

Chen Weiming drew a card from the top of his deck.

This card had no surprises because it was based on the result of him manipulating the top with the Witch with a Pointed Hat.

.

, , .

A sense of despair surged through Chen Weiming's heart.

No. Absolutely not.

It turned out he didn't even have a way to counter a follower without any resistance.

A 6000 Spirit Value Follower Card wasn't something his deck, with a maximum attack of 3000, could overcome.

As expected...a deck birthed from beautiful fairy tales was too weak?

Chen Weiming's gaze fell on the card that man had gifted him.

Shen Sui squinted, suddenly sensing a power that did not belong to this world emanating from that man.

An extremely evil force.

Like a pervert spying on others' privacy, frantically licking others' secrets.

"My turn..." Chen Weiming raised his hand, pointing at the Soul Card on his field, "Pay 3 Soul Points, transform the form of the Heroic Girl on my field to [Fantasy Fairy Tale: Heroic Girl]."

Immediately, Chen Weiming activated her effect, revealing the King in his hand, and from the deck, brought out [Fantasy Fairy Tale: Kingdom's Adorable Princess] and [Fantasy Fairy Tale: Gate Guard].

He activated the Princess's effect, returning a Follower Card from the graveyard to the deck.

And on his turn, when a Life Card returns to the deck, the Guard's effect is activated, randomly sending one of the opponent's hand cards to the graveyard.

Chen Weiming discarded a card from Shen Sui's hand.

Then, Chen Weiming paid 3 Soul Points to normal summon the King to the field as well.

With the Knight retained from the previous turn, his field once again had four Followers.

After finishing all this, Chen Weiming hesitated.

"Do you know?" Chen Weiming suddenly smiled, "I've never used her final form. Though this form is powerful, the previous me didn't agree with this approach..."

"To shatter a child's beautiful illusions just for the immediate gain."

"How cruel that is for a child." Chen Weiming's voice had a hoarseness to it.

"But unfortunately, my sympathy doesn't count for much in reality." Bloodshot appeared in Chen Weiming's eyes, "It's nothing but self-indulgence. No one knows what I'm holding on to. To outsiders, I'm just a repeatedly failing weakling."

Determination flashed in Chen Weiming's eyes.

He made up his mind.

This duel, he must win!

"Activate the effect of my Soul Card form [Abandoned Heroic Girl]! Pay half of my Life Value to transform the Soul Card on my field into this form!"

The effect transformation in the form's effect does not count towards the transformation limit.

Thus, the little girl on the field transformed her form once more.

"This is her final form." Chen Weiming said slowly, "It represents the end of a girl's childhood. Her fantasies and childhood have been ruthlessly confiscated by reality, and awaiting her is an ordinary future."

"There are no more heroes in that fairy tale world."

"My deck has reached its end." Chen Weiming said unwillingly, "Why? Why do this to me?!"

"Activate [Abandoned Heroic Girl]'s effect, refill my hand to five cards, send all [Fairy Tale] Followers from my deck to the graveyard." (Followers sent to the graveyard by this method lose their effects.)

As Chen Weiming's deck rapidly dwindled, the smile on the little girl's face gradually disappeared, that cheerful lively look was gone, leaving only the helpless appearance of the tearful little girl.

Shen Sui slightly frowned.

The tranquil beauty filled with childlike innocence was swiftly slipping away before his eyes.

"If done so, exempt me from the cost of the next Life Card I use."

Chen Weiming drew [Swiftly Passing Childhood].

"Activate from my hand, the Spell Card [Swiftly Passing Childhood]! Send all Follower Cards in my hand to the graveyard, special summon from my deck! The Great Demon King of Destruction of Fantasies!"

"The End Demon King of the Fairy Tale World!"

"Descend!"

"Make this world weep!"

Along with Chen Weiming's call, a demon king burning with flames appeared on his field.

"Activate the Great Demon King's effect, upon his successful Special Summon, destroy all Followers on my field except him! And deal damage to you equal to the number of destroyed Followers multiplied by 500!"

The four Followers on his field were destroyed instantly.

Then, Shen Sui took 2000 points of damage, his Life Value instantly dropping to 1000.

"Then! According to [Swiftly Passing Childhood]'s effect, I discarded two Follower Cards, so both of our next two turns, skip the draw phase."

"Next, I activate the Great Demon King's effect! Send the top five cards of my deck to the graveyard! And deal damage to you equal to the number of Life Cards sent to the graveyard by this method multiplied by 100!"

Shen Sui suffered another 500 points of damage.

Chen Weiming paused only slightly, immediately drawing [The Shattering of Beautiful Illusions] from his hand.

"Sacrifice the Great Demon King on my field." He exchanged the Great Demon King for 13 points of cost, so he had enough to activate this card, "I pay 14 Soul Points, activate from my hand, the Event Card [The Shattering of Beautiful Illusions]!"

"When there are ten or more Follower Cards in my graveyard, destroy all Life Cards on both fields to activate, after activation, for the next three turns or until another Event Card is activated, at the end of each turn, deal damage to the opponent of the turn's owner equal to the number of Follower Cards in the turn's owner's graveyard multiplied by 200!"

With the activation of the shattering, Qishala on Shen Sui's field was also destroyed.

"This duel is over!" A broken smile appeared on Chen Weiming's face.

He felt his brain was entering a whirlpool.

At the center of the whirlpool was an eye silently watching him.

"My turn ends! I have 18 Followers in my graveyard... so... I deal you 3600 points of damage...."

Chen Weiming's head grew dizzier, his whole body gradually leaning backward.

Shen Sui sensed the feeling of being spied on becoming more rampant, as if licking him nearby.

The passive ability of the Twilight Bishop triggered, repelling this eerie force.

At this moment, the Holy Spring Fish King leapt out from Shen Sui's graveyard.

Exile it from the graveyard to negate one instance of damage.

Then, as long as it exists in the exile zone, all effect damage Shen Sui receives is converted into Life Value.

"He fainted!" someone shouted nervously.

Everyone rushed up.

Shen Sui stood there, watching the [The Shattering of Beautiful Illusions] card slowly fall to the ground.

On the card face, a single eye was staring at Shen Sui.
