Yu-Gi-Oh!: Madoka, start!

"I still have a chance," said Bauman.

"If you choose not to use the effect of Wonderful Crystal Heart when attacking, your field attack will end up being 400 points short."

"But if you choose to use the effect of Wonderful Crystal Heart to special summon a Sea Crystal Girl monster, then the attack power of Wonderful Crystal Heart after the attack power is reduced will be lower than that of the Double Sword Driven Snake Knight after the Arrow of Judgment is doubled." Bowman said with a happy look on his face.

"I will continue to use the Wonderful Crystal Heart to attack the double-sword driven snake knight." Blue Maiden seemed not to have heard Bowman's analysis and commanded the Wonderful Crystal Heart to launch the attack.

Under the command of Blue Maiden, Miao Jingxin held the sword and flew towards the double sword-driven Snake Knight.

"The third effect of Wonderful Crystal Heart. This card can only be activated at the beginning of the Damage Step when it battles an opponent's monster. Until the end of the Damage Step, that opponent's monster cannot be affected by the effects of other cards."

Bauman really didn't expect that Blue Maiden had such a trick up his sleeve.

"The first effect of Wonderful Crystal Heart: When calculating damage from a battle between this card and your opponent's monster, activate this effect targeting the equipped Anemone. Wonderful Crystal Heart cannot be destroyed by this battle, and the battle damage to yourself in this battle becomes 0. After that battle, the Anemone that was the target of the effect is Special Summoned with the effect negated."

Sea Crystal Girl Miao Jingxin Attack 3800→3200

Sea Crystal Girl Pacifier Anemone Attack 2000→2200

Since the Arrow of Judgment had no effect on the Dual Sword Driven Snake Knight at all, the Dual Sword Driven Snake Knight with only 1800 attack power was instantly defeated.

"It's time to end, Bowman." Blue Maiden said confidently.

"I'm going to use the Aquamarine Argonaut to attack you directly!"

As Blue Maiden began his attack declaration, Bauman suddenly lowered his head and laughed.

"This idiot, in the end I still have to rely on you to save the situation." Bauman said in Lightning's voice.

"Lightning..." Aqua frowned as she looked at the strangeness in front of her, and felt a sudden chill in her heart for no reason.

......

"This is that guy Lightning!" Ai exclaimed immediately.

"Are you finally unable to sit still?" Revolver looked at Lightning with a mocking expression.

Mathmech and Playmaker stared at Bauman's blocked card, and their intuition told them that this duel could not be over yet.

And in Mathmech's heart, he also felt a little uneasy.

"I hope it's my illusion." mathmech thought to himself.

Worried, Mathmech looked at the progress bar again, and the cracking program was finally about to be completed.

......

The moment Lightning took full control, he immediately opened the cover card: "The moment you declare your attack, I will open the cover trap card - drive the snake tolerance!"

"When your opponent's monster declares an attack, you can activate this effect by targeting an Awakened-Drive Orochi that was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard this turn. The Battle Damage incurred to you during that battle is reduced by 300 Link Markers on the targeted monster. After activating this effect, all Battle Effect Damage you receive becomes 0 until the End Phase."

"The number of connection marks for Awakening Drive Great Snake Emperor is 4, so the damage of this battle is reduced by 1200 points."

Bowman LP 2900→1600

Blue Maiden let out a long sigh, this time she had lost her best chance to win.

The surprise effect was originally achieved by relying on the two trap cards, but now Lightning has successfully overcome it.

"No, it should be said that this was one of the backup plans prepared by Bauman." Blue Maiden murmured.

"Entering main phase two." Blue Maiden announced.

"I Special Summon Kaiba from my hand to the connected area of ​​the Wonderful Crystal Heart."

Sea Crystal Girl Seahorse Guard 1000

"Shine! The circuit of love and bond!"

"The summoning condition is that there are two or more Sea Crystal Girl monsters."

"I set the connection mark between the seahorse and the pacifier anemone of Link2."

"Link Summon, link3 Sea Crystal Girl, Coral Triangle."

Sea Crystal Girl Coral Triangle Attack 1500→1700 Connection mark: ↙↑↘

"Effect of Pacifier Anemone. When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, activate this effect by targeting Seahorse in the Graveyard. Return Seahorse to your hand."

"The effect of the Coral Triangle. Activate by sending Seahorse from your hand to the Graveyard. Add a Prisma Trap Card from your Deck to your hand."

"I add Prismatic Maiden Wave to my hand."

"There are no other driven giant snake monsters on the field, which gives you an opportunity to take advantage of it?" Lightning frowned.

"I activate Prismatic Maiden's Lurking Encounter from my hand and Special Summon Prismatic Maiden - Sleeping Maiden - Mimic Leatherfish from my Deck in Defense Position."

Sea Crystal Girl Sleeping Maiden Mimic Leatherfish Guard 2500

"Shine! The circuit of love and bond!"

"The summoning conditions are two or more water attribute monsters."

"I set a connection mark between the Sleeping Virgin Mimic Leatherfish and Link3's Coral Triangle."

"O deep blue of Mother Ocean. Gather it in my hands now and grant me the power of love and purification!"

"Link Summon! Link4 Sea Crystal Girl Bubble Reef!"

Sea Crystal Girl Bubble Reef Attack 2600→2800 Connection mark: ←↙↓→

"You actually summoned three Sea Crystal Girls' Link4 monsters to the field. You are really dangerous. Now I have some understanding of why he trusts you so much." Lightning said quietly.

......

"So powerful! All three Link4s in Aqua's deck appeared!" Ai excitedly set off fireworks, his joy evident on his face.

"Wonderful Crystal Heart, Water Wave Sunflower Leaf Argonaut and finally the Big Bubble Reef, it seems that Blue Maiden has the strength that I should take seriously." Revolver said to himself.

"It's almost done..." Mathmech looked at the progress that was about to be completed, but the uneasiness in his heart did not diminish at all.

......

"Effect of Purple Shrimp in the Graveyard. Banish this card in my Graveyard, and activate it targeting the Crystal Maiden Waterfall in my Graveyard. Return Crystal Maiden Waterfall to your hand." Blue Maiden showed the recovered waterfall to Lightning and added it to his hand.

"The second effect of Bubble Reef. Every time a monster is banished, this card gains 600 points of attack power equal to the number of banned cards until the end of the turn."

Sea Crystal Girl Bubble Reef Attack 2800→3400

"The third effect of Bubble Reef. Activate by discarding a Water-attribute Purple Squid from your hand (the one you flipped over with Blue Upside Down this turn, see the previous chapter for details). Select one of your Sea Crystal Girl monsters that you banished and Special Summon it."

"I will Special Summon the excluded Anemone Nappi."

Sea Crystal Girl Pacifier Anemone Attack 2000→2200

"The effect of the Pacifier Anemone. Activate by targeting the Coral Triangle in the Graveyard. Special Summon it."

Sea Crystal Girl Coral Triangle Attack 1500→1700

"Isn't this your limit?" Lightning, your opponent, was shocked when he saw this scene.

"It's a pity that this is all the power I have. I don't have any other Link4 monsters." Aqua sighed in self-blame.

"Aqua has done a good job." Blue Maiden comforted Aqua with a smile.
