Chapter 18 The Valley Where Loved Ones Rest Forever
After summoning [Ra's Winged Dragon], Hayato continued: "Cover the two cards in my hand, and then I activate the continuous magic card [Nightmare Mirage]."
"Because it's the first round, I can't enter the combat phase, so let's let the round end for now."
[Hayato: 4000LP, 0 cards in hand]
【Disruption King】【DEF3000】
【La's Winged Dragon】【ATK4800】
[Gaika] X2 [Nightmare Mirage Tower]
"[Nightmare Mirage Tower], so Hayato-kun, your Gaikari should have been prepared [Extraordinary Food], right?" Isis said with a smile.
Hayato's face showed a look of helpless intelligence: "Oh, I suddenly feel that Maoqimai is right. It's not good to duel with familiar people. The Combo you are used to using and the cards that may be in the deck, Everything will be guessed."
"After all, Hayato-kun, you are the king of duels. It's not just me. There are many duelists who have specially studied your and Yugi-kun's decks." With a smile, Isis seemed to ignore Hayato's field. Winged Dragon] calmly drew the card, "My turn, draw the card."
And in fact, it is indeed the case. Although Isis is Malik's sister, Hayato's attitude towards the two of them is different. If it were Malik, the [Wing Shenlong] would have been full of pressure at this moment, but facing Isis, Hayato had already asked [Wing Shenlong] and his other monsters, don't use force when attacking.
"Then, during your preparation phase, I activate the effect of [Nightmare Mirage Tower]." Hayato also drew four cards, "I draw cards from the deck until I have four cards in my hand. "
"However, powerful cards often come with risks. As a price for drawing cards, I need to discard the number of cards drawn during the preparation phase of my next turn."
"It's said to be a risk, but a real duelist can take advantage of risks, right?" Isis said with a smile, activating a card from her hand, "Then, I'll activate a magic card from my hand [ Bitter Choice], pick five cards from my deck, and then Hayato you choose one of them to add to my hand, and the other cards will be sent to the graveyard."
As if she had already thought about what kind of cards to choose, Isis directly displayed the five cards in the deck——
Bald Wu Ke, a wretched short man, an arrogant blond man, a masked man in black robes, and a Chinese-character face carrying a cannon?
Their card names are:
[Summoner who guards the tomb], [Servant who guards the tomb], [Descendant who guards the tomb], [Assassin who guards the tomb], [Heavy Gunner who guards the tomb]
Um?
Hayato looked at the five cards displayed by Isis in surprise. Originally, he had already prepared to "bitterly" choose cards like [Executioner - Demon Shura], but what he didn't expect was that Isis actually took out the invincible [Tomb Guard] deck?
"Just like what you often do, Hayato-kun, I also have more than one deck." Isis explained, "The deck built around [Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld] is capable of defeating the opponents we first met. It’s quite a powerful OTK ability, but since you already know its existence, Hayato-kun, you will definitely take precautions against it, so naturally I won’t continue to use it.”
"The [Tomb Keeper] deck is another deck I use. This deck is the incarnation of the past patriarchs of our Tomb Keeper clan. To a certain extent, the [Tomb Keeper] deck is my real trump card. ." Mentioning the tomb-guarding clan, Isis' expression was somewhat serious. "Hayato-kun, I want to defeat Malik with my own hands and defeat his dark personality that has escaped from trouble. Therefore, I don't want to lose."
"I'm going to defeat you with this [Gravekeeper] deck!"
Hayato looked at Isis who was full of fighting spirit with some surprise, and a smile slowly appeared on his face: "Is this so? It's rare to see such an expression on your face. But, I don't want to lose either. I want to become a duelist. The king, the best in the world, the Q duelist."
"Since we don't want to lose, let's duel with all our strength, Isis!" Hayato said, pointing to one of the five cards shown by Isis, "The card I chose is [Summoner of the Grave Guard]. Add him to your hand."
"Then, the other cards will be sent to the graveyard." Isis added the bald Wu Ke - I mean the [Grave Guard Summoner] to her hand, and then added the other four [Tomb Guard] monsters Consigned to the cemetery.
Among the duel monsters, although most duelists are still stuck in the "you shoot one and I shoot one" stage (Jouchi: ah sneeze!), the most commonly used ones are superior summons, rituals and fusions are rare, magic cards and Trap cards are mostly used as additions, and their utilization rate of the graveyard is quite low.
However, in the environment of Hayato's previous life, the graveyard was much more important than the hand of cards, and piling graves was a very important matter. Cards such as [Angel's Alms] and [Stupid Burial] all have very powerful effects on designated graves, but they are younger than the [Bitter Choice] Isis just used.
There is no cost and no limit to specifying four cards for the graveyard. Regardless of magic, traps or monsters, it can also compress the card library. It is no wonder that in another world, [Bitter Choice] will become a banned card for ten thousand years.
"Activate the effect of the [Commander of the Tomb Guard] in my hand, discard him from my hand to the graveyard, and then add a [Valley of the Royal Rest] from my deck to my hand. ." Isis sent a monster wearing a jackal mask to the graveyard. After retrieving the card from the deck, she activated it directly on the field, "Then, I activate the field magic card, [Valley of the King's Sleep]! "
Just like in the previous duel, Peacock Dance activated [Harpy's Hunting Ground] to replace the sky duel field with an endless desert, and as Isis placed [Valley of the Royal Resting Room] on the field magic card of the duel disk The area, surrounding the duel field, was surrounded by several mountains that completely surrounded the site, turning it into a completely enclosed hidden valley.
Although Hayato has never played the [Tomb Guard] deck in the past, he was quite impressed by the card activated by Isis. Because as mentioned before, in the card environment of his previous life, the cemetery was a very important resource storage point, and many card groups were even built around the cemetery. However, the effect of [The Valley of the Royal Family's Sleep] is specifically designed to target the "graveyard"——
"[The Valley of the Royal Family's Sleep] is the place where the Pharaoh sleeps. No one can disturb this place." Isis said, "As long as this card exists in the field area, neither party can exclude the cards in the cemetery, and no one can disturb it." All effects involving cards in the graveyard will be invalidated and will not apply."
With the appearance of [The Valley of the Royal Family's Rest], Hayato clearly felt that his connection with [X] [Y] [Z] in the cemetery was separated, as if a wall had been established between reality and the cemetery. Like the impassable Berlin Wall.
As long as [Mother-in-Chief—I mean, the Valley where the Royal Family sleeps] exists on the field, the existence of the cemetery will always be blocked, and you can only enter but not exit.
