Accurately locking onto the last 100 Life Points.
With the buff of a flickering candle in the wind, undoubtedly, Ling Ling needed one of the most crucial cards from Yilin's HERO deck.
A card that could guide out the true form of a hero, a card that could bring about miracles.
Magic Card [Polymerization] .
Elemental HEROes, almost synonymous with Fusion Summoning, as long as the [Polymerization] card was in hand, could still create hope even in desperate situations.
3000 attack points, Fiend Manifestation at the level of Blue-Eyes White Dragon?
The opponent probably doesn't understand at all; in a HERO deck, there's that monster known for specifically killing 3000 ATK monsters.
"Tch, letting you barely survive. But ah, you've already stepped one foot into hell, little cutie~"
Not noticing that Yilin's soul had been swapped, Megan, the Barrier Master, still maintained her alluring posture during the duel.
Paired with that exquisite figure faintly visible beneath the black robe, Ling Ling only wanted to express:
Woman, get the hell away from me!
"My turn ends."
"It's our turn. Time to hit the opponent with a big one, Lin!"
Controlling Yilin's fingers placed on the deck in the Elven Eye, if this draw was Polymerization, it would undoubtedly be a decisive blow.
"Th-th-this, how can we, hit with a big one?"
But a smart girl like Yilin completely failed to understand what Ling Ling wanted to do at this moment.
"Of course, it's drawing [Polymerization]. You play HEROes, you don't understand this?"
"Polymerization? But my deck doesn't have that card."
"You're kidding me."
"Not kidding."
"..."
How the hell do you play HEROes without [Polymerization]!
Blood pressure rising.
He thought Aisha Carlos with her trash monster deck was already enough to give Ling Ling a headache.
Unexpectedly, Yilin, who usually seemed capable in both literary and martial arts, and quick-witted, had a deck construction that was even more like a ten-year cerebral thrombosis.
Thinking about it carefully, in Fusion Academy's practical combat tests, Yilin indeed hadn't used [Polymerization].
The duels she won were basically through lower-level HEROes, fighting in conjunction with Magic and Trap cards.
Just like that, benefiting from that heaven-defying dice luck, Yilin's win rate was actually not low.
So it was a shady HERO deck?
"What, do you really need Polymerization to play HEROes?"
Yilin didn't forget to humbly seek advice even at such a time.
"Do you use chopsticks when you eat?"
"No."
"Then I have nothing more to say to you."
"But isn't [Polymerization] a B-rank Spell Card? It's very expensive!"
"For HEROes, it's not expensive."
Truly, the well-fed don't know how the starving suffer. Clearly holding a HERO deck, yet still complaining that the B-rank 100 Spell Point Polymerization is expensive.
If it were Ling Ling, even with the fatigue value of doubled crafting points for repeats, he would at least include 2 Polymerizations in his deck.
And it wasn't just Yilin; clearly, it was Fusion Academy, yet most first-year students chose to give up on Polymerization because the Fusion Magic was too expensive.
Even the entry to the summoning method required Spell Points as a threshold; no wonder Fusion Academy's overall combat power couldn't compare to the other two academies in the Elf Sacred Land.
"Since Polymerization is so important." Yilin suggested: "Let's beat the opponent and get [Polymerization] through a Shadow Game!"
"Hm?"
Keyword captured.
Because he only arrived on the scene when Yilin was about to receive a direct attack, Ling Ling and Aisha actually didn't know that the giant [Fiend Manifestation] standing on Megan's field was a Fusion Monster.
"Could it be, the opponent used Polymerization?"
"Of course, otherwise how did that Fusion Monster get there."
"So that's it, waiting for me here!"
Having obtained the most crucial information, Ling Ling glanced at the remaining cards in his hand, and the equation to break the situation instantly unfolded.
"Then next, let me teach you how to play HEROes, Lin! Watch carefully and learn well!"
Drawing a card and slamming it onto the ground, this was the first time Ling Ling used this type of Magic Card in the other world.
"——Activate Field Magic Card [Skyscraper]!"
A C-rank Spell Field Magic exclusive to HEROes; similar to Continuous Magic Cards, it remains on the field after activation.
The difference is that Magic Cards placed in the Field Zone will change the surrounding environment.
High-rise buildings, countless skyscrapers rose from the ground.
The real environment manifestation under the Elven Eye's magic power burst instantly transformed the Shadow Game into a hero city under the night sky.
Ling Ling initially felt that this Field Magic Card, with its distinct modern city art style, was out of place in the other world of sword and magic.
But gradually thinking, Duel Monsters also had Machine-Type, Cyberse-Type, monsters with an almost futuristic art style; this problem seemed less worth tangled up over.
After all, even if the Elf Continent was an other world of sword and magic, its development level was indeed not low, just that the branches of the tech tree had taken different directions.
"HEROes have a stage exclusive to HEROes!"
"Oh?"
Megan, surrounded by towering skyscrapers, was completely unconcerned.
As a Barrier Master, if she was scared by a Field Magic Card, wouldn't that be ridiculous?
"Activating a Field Magic Card without even a monster on the field, hehe, just trying to bluff?"
"As for monsters, I'll use this one!——Activate Magic Card [The Warrior Returning Alive]!"
[The Warrior Returning Alive Magic Card Effect: Target 1 Warrior-Type monster in your Graveyard; add that target to your hand.]
"Return the Warrior-Type monster [Elemental HERO Burstinatrix] from my Graveyard to my hand!"
Yilin: "It's no use, Ling Ling. Even if [Skyscraper] can increase an Elemental HERO's attack power by 1000 points during battle, the opponent's [Fiend Manifestation] has 3000 attack points."
To utilize Skyscraper's boost to destroy [Fiend Manifestation], one would need at least a HERO with 2000 attack points.
"Very sorry, in my deck, there's simply no HERO with such high attack power."
The HERO monster with the highest attack power in Yilin's deck, [Elemental HERO Lady of Fire] with 1900 points, also had to be Special Summoned using the effect of [Blossom].
"A monster with over 2000 attack points, of course, there is. I told you, watch carefully and learn well. Next, I'll teach you the fighting style that truly belongs to HEROes!"
"The fighting style that truly belongs to HEROes?"
Clearly, at this moment, Ling Ling was controlling her body, yet Yilin couldn't help but feel that Ling Ling, paired with this line, was damn cool.
This made Yilin, in her soul state, feel her heart accelerate again, her little deer heart thumping wildly.
"Use this card to complete the final piece of the victory puzzle, activate Magic Card!"
Flinging out the card drawn this turn, under the embrace of the skyscrapers in the night, an extremely special magic power fluctuation spread out in front of Ling Ling.
That fluctuation pointed directly into Megan's Graveyard.
"Activate Double Spell !"
[Double Spell Magic Effect: You can target 1 Magic Card in your opponent's Graveyard; activate it as this card's effect.]
Similar to [Hand Exchange], it belongs to the cheap D-rank Spell Cards, and its effect is also very similar.
One is to take a card from the opponent's hand, the other is to take a card from the opponent's Graveyard.
"Hand it over obediently."
Ling Ling extended his arm, pointing at Megan in front, and revealed the truth with one sentence.
"You have it in your Graveyard, right? Magic Card [Polymerization]!"
