"Mr. You Ling , you intend to..."
Aisha's girlish brow twitched slightly; she knew better than anyone what doing this represented.
"This is the only way to save Yilin now, hurry up, Aisha!"
"Mm, I understand."
Nodding heavily, although her mood was exceptionally complicated, Aisha didn't even leave herself time to hesitate.
Right now, the most important and top priority was to rescue Yilin from the danger of the Shadow Game.
Any remaining complex problems could be considered after Yilin was saved.
Aisha, having made up her mind, took off the Millennium Puzzle chain hanging from her snow-white neck and held it tightly, aiming it at Yilin through the barrier of the Shadow Game.
"Please, you must save Lin-chan, Mr. You Ling, she's my best friend."
First, she muttered softly, then the decibels of her voice gradually increased.
"Lin-chan! Catch Mr. You Ling!"
"What, catch You Ling?"
Yilin, whose consciousness was already blurry, was slightly awakened again by Aisha's inexplicable request.
What did it mean to catch You Ling?
Was that thing something that could be caught?
Yilin, struggling to lift her head, suddenly noticed the Millennium Puzzle that had passed through the Shadow Game barrier, tracing an elegant parabolic arc in the sky.
Subconsciously triggering her reflexes, Yilin used the last of her strength to accurately catch the Millennium Puzzle at the end of its parabola, embracing it in her arms.
At that instant, it was as if different souls had blended together.
Yilin's fragile mental strength no longer needed to deliberately empty her mind like when establishing a soul connection with Aisha initially.
It was completely in a state of open doors.
At the same time, Aisha felt the connection between herself and You Ling being severed.
Although she was mentally prepared, when this moment truly arrived, it still made Aisha inevitably feel a sense of loss.
This was also something that couldn't be helped.
"Go for it, Mr. You Ling. Become Lin-chan's hero."
When You Ling opened his eyes again, he had already been transferred into a brand new body.
Similar to the first soul exchange, You Ling subconsciously reached out and clenched his hand.
The same slender, fair girlish fingers, yet he could feel a distinct difference from Aisha's.
He could vaguely glimpse the red tips of Yilin's hair at the edge of his vision, and her chest also seemed slightly heavier.
Of course, the most direct sensation was the pain from the Shadow Game.
The pain of her body feeling like it was about to fall apart after being baptized by the Black Hole, Yilin had actually been enduring it since just now.
"Th-th-th, what is this situation!"
Yilin's reaction was also exactly the same as when she exchanged bodies with Aisha.
After all, most people facing this situation, their first reaction would definitely be confusion and disbelief.
"This was done out of necessity, Lin. With your soul and mental state just now, you couldn't continue the Shadow Game anymore. So next, I will take your place."
"Let you, You Ling, take my place in the duel... You mean, like with Aisha?"
If Aisha accepted You Ling's existence quickly because of her good-natured, foolish personality and strong acceptance ability.
Then Yilin, because her mind was very sharp, had to accept You Ling's existence after judging the crisis and pros and cons of the current situation.
"Can such a duel also be taken over, You Ling?"
However, because he joined the duel midway, the field left for You Ling was something Yilin herself couldn't bear to look at.
Her own field was first completely cleared by [Dark Hole] , and the opponent had also Fusion Summoned the 3000 attack point [Fiend Manifestation] ; no matter how you thought about it, it was already a complete rout.
But You Ling didn't think so.
After scanning Yilin's remaining hand cards, You Ling judged that this duel could still be fought.
Probably because the deck construction was very simple, and the hand card utilization rate was very low. Most Duelists in this world, even after several turns of a duel, could still maintain a very large number of hand cards.
However, it wasn't without benefits; for example, the hand cards Yilin currently had left already allowed You Ling to recall that classic famous scene of a hero in his mind.
"Leave it to me, Lin!"
"!!!!"
("Leave it to me, Lin!")
The same words, the same tone, the same sense of security.
At this instant, Yilin's perception of You Ling seemed to overlap with her brother Edy, who had sacrificed his Elven Eye to protect her in the Shadow Game back then.
Even now in her soul state, Yilin could clearly feel her heartbeat accelerating.
"You Ling, you won't lose, right?"
"Of course not."
Maintaining unparalleled confidence at all times, this was You Ling's attitude and pride when playing cards.
"You won't lose to a Shadow Game again?"
"Again? Hehe, don't worry, I'll crush the darkness!"
"Then I'm counting on you, You Ling. Please, defeat the darkness for me this once."
This was Yilin's most sincere hope and request, resonating from the depths of her soul.
At this moment, Megan, the Barrier Master standing opposite Yilin, also noticed that Yilin's mental state was beginning to recover, and of course, couldn't have missed the Millennium Puzzle Aisha threw over.
"That's a Millennium Item? Didn't expect such an ordinary academy girl to actually possess a Millennium Item. No wonder Dekuer lost."
After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Megan decided to go for a quick victory and not delay any longer.
Anyway, she was only one final blow away from victory.
"It's already too late to recover your mental strength now, little cutie. 3000 attack points, receive the direct attack of [Fiend Manifestation]!——Heavenly Demon Lightning Strike!"
"But to win the duel, you have to survive this strike first. Activate set card."
Facing the terrifying thunder falling from the sky, You Ling raised his hand and flipped over the card Yilin had set last turn.
"——Activate Trap Card [Skull Dice]!"
[Skull Dice Trap Card Effect: Roll 1 die. The ATK and DEF of all monsters your opponent controls decrease by the result x 100 until the end of this turn.]
The opposite version of the Quick-Play Magic Card [Graceful Dice], reducing the opponent's monsters' attack power by the number rolled on the die.
Yilin's current Life Points are 2600, Fiend Manifestation's attack power is 3000.
She must roll a 4 or higher; the probability of survival is 1/3, seemingly not high.
"High enough!" You Ling asserted.
Don't even think about the current situation.
You Ling, possessing 「Heaven's Luck」, and Yilin, possessing 「Strong Luck」, fighting hand in hand.
A mere die, it would definitely roll the best number.
The opponent should be most thankful that this isn't a 36-sided die.
A demon, very fitting the style of a Shadow Game, appeared above, spinning and throwing out a crimson die.
Roll result: 5
"It's actually not a 6?" Yilin exclaimed in shock.
"Because 5 is the best number." You Ling smiled mysteriously.
[Fiend Manifestation ATK: 3000→2500]
The next second, the weakened lightning brushed past her body.
Unsure if it was because Yilin's physical constitution was superior to Aisha's, or if You Ling, having been electrocuted three times tonight, was gradually getting used to it.
This time, there wasn't much unbearable pain, only the number representing Life Points plummeting crazily.
Yilin LP: 2600→100
"As for why 5 is the best number. Then I can only say, I'll lock it in first out of respect!"
