How come the Ace of Cups isn't considered the Holy Grail?

Furthermore, the effect of "True Light" that is not sent to the graveyard will not trigger the destruction of monsters on his field, not to mention the protection provided by the effect of "Blue-Eyes Silver Dragon", so even if it is destroyed, he is not afraid.

"The effect of 【Salvation Girl Stella】 activates! I Special Summon 【Salvation Girl Sofia】 from my hand!"

"Wait! At this very moment, I'm going to chain the effect of your [Salvation Girl Stella] and activate the effect of [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon]!"

The Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon on the swimming field then let out a slightly ethereal dragon roar. After that, as if it had heard a call, a large number of dragon souls were summoned in the shrine and attached themselves to the [Exorcism Girl Stella] on the opposite side.

"When a card's effect is activated on the field, negate that activation, and this card's ATK increases by 1000 until the end of the turn!"

However, since the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon on the field is currently in Defense position, the additional 1000 attack power is practically useless.

But he still achieved his goal.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada calmly put the card he had just drawn back into his hand, his face showing an expression of unsurprising satisfaction.

He knew there was a trap.

"Then, I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card 'Peaceful Greeting of the Exorcist Girl' from my hand! Pay 800 Life Points to add 1 'Exorcist Girl Elise' from my Deck to my hand!"

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's LP: 4000→3200

"In that case, I will continue to chain the effects of [Ultimate Dragon Mage]. When the opponent activates an effect, I can negate and destroy that activation!"

Standing atop the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, the Black Chaos Magician raised his staff, and a bolt of dark purple lightning shattered the magic card activated by Amakusa Shiro Tokisada with lightning speed.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who had wasted 800 basic points, remained unmoved, as he had anticipated this situation.

He has already used up the effects of two dragons, and even if we include the unknown face-down card in the back row, there will be at most three more effects that can hinder him.

No problem!

Chapter 170 Assembly!

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada picked out a card, and just as he was about to speak again, Yutari's voice rang out before him.

"Activate the effect of Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon in your Graveyard! If a card on the field is destroyed by battle or card effect, this card can be Special Summoned from your Graveyard!"

A dark purple circular hole opened in the center of the arena, and a white dragon resembling a jet flew out and occupied the last empty monster zone on the arena.

【Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon】

[Attack power: 3000]

Great! Thanks to the effect of Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon, we no longer need to worry about destroying even the Spell/Trap Cards in the back row.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada naturally remembered this monster that would bounce one card back to the hand when it attacked, so he paused for a moment after seeing [Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon] before continuing:

"Another effect of [Saving Girl Stella] activated!"

"When a card in either your or your opponent's Graveyard leaves the Graveyard because of your opponent, you can Special Summon 1 'Salvation Maiden' Xyz Monster by overlaying it onto this card!"

"I will use the 4-star monster [Salvation Girl Stella] on the field as material to build a stacking network with 1 monster!"

A dark vortex slowly rotated above the arena, with colorful particles swirling around it like stars. The [Saving Girl Stella] on the field transformed into a golden ball of light and flew into it.

At that moment, as expected, he saw Yuuto speak up after him: "The effect of [Ultimate Dragon Mage] is activated!"

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada: "Hmm...hmm???"

Wait, didn't this monster's effect already activate just now?

Does that mean it doesn't have a limit of once per round?

There's none?

Of course there are, but...

"Within one turn, this effect of this card name can be activated once against each of the monster, spell, and trap cards!" Yuu Watari explained, pointing to Amakusa Shiro Tokisada opposite him.

"Therefore, the effect of [Salvation Girl Stella] on your field will be negated and destroyed!"

Another bolt of lightning struck, this time heading straight for the black hole in the sky. Amakusa Shiro Tokisada frowned and quickly took a card from his hand and inserted it into the Duel Disk.

"In that case, I will unleash a chain attack spell: [Saving Girl Amen Armament]!"

"Pay 800 Life Points, target 1 'Salvation Maiden' monster I control, and Special Summon 1 'Salvation Maiden' Xyz Monster with the same name that is not on my field from my Extra Deck as an Xyz Summon!"

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's LP: 3200→2400

This time, not hearing a voice interrupting him from Yudo, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada was immediately invigorated. Knowing that Yudo probably had no way to stop him, his voice even rose a few decibels.

"O girl who fights against demons, receive the Lord's blessing here and become the guardian of the sun! XYZ Summon!"

"Rank 4! [Saving Girl: Mikaelaris]!"

A dazzling golden light burst forth from the black hole, accompanied by the faint sound of hymns. The golden light transformed into flame-like wings, and a golden-haired girl, clad in battle robes and clutching a sword wrapped in holy water, flew out from within.

Mikaelaris, the Girl Who Saved the World

【Level 4】

[Warrior/Xyz/Light]

[Attack power: 2500]

"The monster effect of 【Mikaelis the Exorcist】 activates! Deliver 1 Xyz Material and add 【Mikaelis the Exorcist】 to your hand from your Deck!"

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada put the retrieved cards into his hand and carefully checked them one last time before he could finally relax.

Knowing that Yuuto no longer had any cards that could negate the effects of his monsters, he boldly sounded the horn of counterattack.

"I activate another effect of Mikaelis! The turn I successfully Xyz Summon this card using 'Salvation Girl' monster materials, you can banish 1 card from your opponent's field or Graveyard!"

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's gaze swept over the monsters on Yuto's field. Due to the effect of Blue-Eyes Silver Dragon, he could only choose between Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon and the two cards in Yuto's back row.

Is there even a need to consider this?

"I'll remove that face-down card from your backcourt!"

The blonde girl swung her longsword at the wandering Geka.

Upon seeing this, Yuto immediately flipped the cover card in the backcourt.

"Then I'll chain Mikaelis's effect to activate my face-down card! Target my Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon and activate the Trap Card 'Tough! Invincible! Strongest!'!"

"This turn, the targeted face-up monster cannot be destroyed by battle, is unaffected by the effects of other cards, and the monster that battles that monster is destroyed at the end of the Damage Step!"

It's a real shame. Yuto originally planned to activate this card after the effect of Blue-Eyes Silver Dragon wore off in the next turn, to give Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon on the field a resistance bonus just in case. Now he has to use it ahead of time.

"Then I activate the monster effect of [Salvation Girl Malfa] in my hand!"

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, however, did not seem to feel much regret at this moment.

"If I have no monsters on my field or only Xyz Monsters, I can Special Summon this card from my hand and Special Summon 1 'Salvation Girl Elise' from my Deck!"

Black boots touched the ground as a pink-haired woman in purple, with mature makeup, strode out. A gold metal badge hung from the end of a leather belt dangling from her thigh.

The blonde girl following behind looked cheerful and optimistic. The hem of her military green uniform fluttered behind her, and her over-the-knee boots under her short skirt made a slightly hurried sound, different from the former.

【Saving Girl Malfa】

【4 stars】

[Mage/Light]

[Attack power: 1600]

【The Exorcist Girl, Elise】

【4 stars】

[Mage/Light]

[Attack power: 500]

"I will stack two Level 4 monsters on the field! Create a stacking network with these two monsters! XYZ Summon!"

The familiar black vortex reappeared, and Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's two monsters on the field transformed into balls of light and flew into it. When the vortex erupted again, a pure white light, like moonlight, poured down from it.

"Appear! Rank 4! [Saving Girl. Caspitel]"

Stella, now transformed, landed on the field. Her short brown hair had been dyed pink, and her thick reddish-brown dress had been replaced with a short skirt and a white robe.

A pure white ring floated behind her, holy water swirled around her hands and feet, and she brandished a white spear that was taller than herself.

【Saving Girl Caspitell】

【Level 4】

[Warrior/Xyz/Light]

[Attack power: 2300]

"Caspitel's effect activates!" Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's Duel Disk began shuffling his deck. "Remove one Xyz Material and add [Salvation Girl Elise] from your deck to your hand!"

But that wasn't all. Just after Amakusa Shiro Tokisada added the retrieved card to his hand, he raised his hand and, to everyone's astonishment, summoned that deep vortex once again.

"I'm going to stack my Rank 4 Xyz Monsters, [Exorcist Girl Michaelis] and [Exorcist Girl Kaspitel], on the field! I'll create a stacking network with these two monsters! Xyz Summon!"

"When miracles combine, they will bring the light of hope; let that light save all souls!"

"Assemble! [Hymn of the Virgin Mary to Save the Maidens]!"

Chapter 171 This will be the last monster you see!

As Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's voice seemed to be chanting something, the [Exorcism Girl Michaelis] and [Exorcism Girl Caspitel] on the field transformed into orbs of light and flew into the vortex in the sky.

However, after the vortex dissipated, everyone saw that the two girls had returned to Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's field intact, except that there were now two Xyz Material surrounding them, and they were even closer than before, almost back to back, facing Yuwatari sideways.

A Hymn to the Virgin Mary to Save the Maidens

【Level 8】

[Warrior/Xyz/Light]

[Attack power: 2800]

This means... the Xyz Summon failed?

Leticia was stunned when she saw this, then quickly shook her head.

Wait, how could something like this possibly fail?

Furthermore, since the attack power has increased from 2500 and 2300 points to 2800 points for a single summon, it seems the summoning was successful...

Perhaps this is what the Overload Monster looks like?

She felt somewhat unable to convince herself.

Where would you find such a random Xyz Monster?

Is it really true that simply having two monsters used as Xyz Material standing together constitutes a new monster?

But no matter how outrageous she thought it was, it was no use. After all, the facts were already in front of her. Whether it was the supermaterial that had become two or the attack power that had become 2800 points, they were all proving to her.

This is a new Xyz Monster.

"The effect of 【Hymn of the Holy Mother Who Saves the Maidens】 activates! Once per turn, detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and banish 1 card your opponent controls!"

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada pointed to the [Ultimate Dragon Mage] on the field, whom he considered the greatest threat to him.

It has an attack power of 5000 and an effect that negates the effects of monsters, magic, and traps once per turn.

He was absolutely certain that this card was Yudo's ace monster!

"I am banishing your [Ultimate Dragon Mage] from the game!"

After exchanging a glance with Caspitel, Mikaelis launched attacks on the Ultimate Dragon Mage from both the air and the ground.

The first to arrive was Caspitel, who possessed incredible speed. He aimed his spear at the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, unleashing the power contained within the holy water that swirled around it. At the same time, the Black Chaos Magician above was met with the blade of Mikaelis.

The two holy artifacts, one above and one below, sliced ​​through space around the Ultimate Dragon Mage, and the resulting cracks connected, completely cutting away the space where the Ultimate Dragon Mage was located.

Because this effect is an exception that does not target any specific individual, the Blue-Eyed Silver Dragon's effect cannot be applied, and it can only watch helplessly as the Ultimate Dragon Mage disappears into this underground space.

Only when he saw that a huge creature was indeed missing from the ferry crossing did Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's solemn expression ease a little.

A major problem has been solved!

And as long as it can be solved, that's good. As long as one problem can be solved, it proves that his idea is correct, and that Yudo is not invincible in this 'game'!

Just as Amakusa Shiro Tokisada breathed a sigh of relief, Yutari's voice rang out from the other side.

"At this very moment! The effect of [Ultimate Dragon Mage] activates!"

"If this face-up card leaves the field due to your opponent, I can Special Summon 1 'Blue-Eyes' monster or 'Chaos' Ritual Monster from my Extra Deck or Graveyard!"

Thump thump thump thump!
