[Muto Game: 4000LP, 1 card in hand]
【Yellow Gadget】【ATK1200】
【Gate Card】X5
Looking at the cards on the game field, especially the five cover cards in the back field, Lan Shen's eyelids jumped.
I don't have much fun dueling monsters, so don't fool me. How can this be easy? Even if it's not activated and just covered, it's very stressful, okay? They also say that "Dueling Monsters can bring smiles to people's faces", isn't it because you are the only one smiling?
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but Lan Shen remained calm. No, you can’t think like that. Maybe Muto Yugi just placed some cards with unknown meanings in the backcourt. Look, he just summoned a card with an attack power of only 1200 in the frontcourt. The fish monster you ordered.
However, it is still too early to start a duel in the dimensional realm. It is not too late to test out the cards in the back field one by one and then kill them in one go.
Thinking like this, Lan Shen put his finger on the top of the deck, pulled out a card and said: "Then it's my turn, Muto-san. Draw a card!"
"Normally summon this [Magic Armor-Executor] in my hand in face-side attack position." Put down a card, and a magic armor without a wearer appeared on the front field of Blue God, even if it was not used. The player also floats on the field by himself, and the cloak automatically floats in the wind.
[Magic Armor-Executor] [4☆/Light]
[Magician Family/Effect]
【2400/1400】
"It's this card, hmm. Among the monsters that can be summoned directly without sacrifice, [Magic Armor-Executor] does have a very good attack power, even comparable to Jonouchi's [True Red Eyes] Black Dragon]."
Seeing Blue God summon the card, the game commented, but changed the subject: "But, Blue God, you should have also seen that [Magic Armor-Executor] is an effect monster. Although it is definitely The effects of most monsters are positive, but unfortunately the effect of [Magic Armor-Executor] happens to be negative."
"After all, his attack power and defense power exceed those of ordinary cards, and there is a saying, 'Powerful cards often come with huge risks.' [Magic Armor-Executor] is in summoning, reverse summoning, and special summoning. It cannot attack during its turn, and not only that, if you cannot remove a magic counter on your field during the preparation phase of both sides, it will also self-destruct."
"Although it is a powerful armor, it is difficult to exert its power without a wearer."
When Yugi said this, Lan Shen couldn't help but show a surprised expression: "Huh? Why is this? I was still thinking that this card has the highest attack power in my hand. Can't it attack?"
"Oops, Oops, if he can't stay until Muto-kun's turn, won't I be attacked directly?" Looking down at his hand, Lan Shen showed the look of a novice who was panicking because of a bad move. It was so vivid, and after seeing a card, his eyes lit up again, "Ah, yes, this card should be able to help me."
"Activate the equipment magic card [Axe of Dullness] and equip [Magic Armor-Executor] on my field. This equipment card will affect the controller of the equipped monster during the preparation phase of each of my turns - also It causes 500 points of effect damage to myself, but at the same time, it can also increase the equipped monster’s attack power by 1,000 points, and invalidate the effect of the equipped monster!”
[Magic Armor-Executor] (Axe of Dullness) [ATK2400→3400]
When Yugi saw Blue God's operation, his eyes lit up: "It's really amazing, Blue God-san, he actually increased the monster's attack power to a level beyond [Blue Eyes White Dragon], and at the same time effectively removed [Magic Armor- Executor] own troublesome negative effects. You are very talented in dueling monsters, you give me the feeling that you are not a novice at all."
The smile on Lan Shen's face froze, but then returned to normal: "No, I just accidentally thought that the cards can be used together. This is really my first duel, Muto-san. Then, I want to attack Come over here and get into my fighting phase.”
Looking at the lonely [Yellow Gadget] on the game field, Lan Shen waved his hand and said, "[Magic Armor-Executor] attacks [Yellow Gadget], Brilliant Sword and Axe!"
The magical power residing on the armor was directed towards the [Axe of Dullness], and was solidified into a transparent crystal-like substance by the power above it. The originally invulnerable [Magic Armor-Executor] was neutralized after its effect. Instead, it was strengthened and wielded a crystal ax that was magnified several times and struck at the [yellow gadget] on the game field!
This hit can easily cause a full 2,200 points of damage, cutting the game's base points by more than half!
However, looking at the oncoming giant axe, Yugi smiled quite relaxedly and pressed the button to activate Gaika: "Although you are a novice, Aishen-kun, your strength is really, really strong. I chain the attack declaration of [Magic Armor - Executor] and open this cover card in the backfield, the permanent trap card [Mobile Cannon Fortress - Powerful Fortress]!"
As the cover card at the end of the game was opened, a giant turret rose up behind him and transformed into a giant robot holding a cannon barrel, guarding behind him like a guard.
[Mobile Fortress-Powerful Fortress] [4☆/Land]
[Machine family/trap/effect]
【0/2000】
"The Continuous Trap Card [Mobile Cannon - Powerful Fortress] will turn into an effect monster and be specially summoned in my monster area after activation. This card can also be used as a trap card. After that, you can choose my hand Equip a Level 4☆ Machine-type [Gadget] monster in the card deck as an equipment card."
Drawing a card from the deck and filling the vacant position in the back field, Yugi continued, "I will equip it with [Golden Gadget], and then the attack power of [Mobile Cannon Fortress-Powerful Fortress] will increase." The equipped monster’s attack power is twice the value, and the attack power of [Golden Gadget] is 1700 points.”
"That is to say, the attack power of [Mobile Cannon Fortress - Powerful Fortress] is," Lan Shen looked at the trap monster on the back field of the game with a golden sphere embedded in the circular opening on its chest as the power core, " The same 3400 points!?”
[Mobile Fortress-Powerful Fortress] [ATK0→3400]
"Because there are monsters on my field that have been specially summoned, triggering the rules of battle rollback. Blue God-san, you can now choose whether to continue the unfinished attack just now, and which one on my field to choose. Monsters are targets of attack.”
Hearing Yugi's words, Lan Shen said without hesitation: "Although it has an attack power comparable to my [Magic Armor-Executor], that trap monster doesn't have the ability to force me to attack it, right? In that case, does it? Of course I chose to continue attacking the [yellow gadget] on your field, Muto-kun."
The crystal ax that had stopped for a moment in the magic armor fell again, but at this moment, Lan Shen saw that the [Mobile Cannon Fortress - Powerful Fortress] that was not selected as the target of attack actually moved on its own. It was thick and long. The barrel of the gun locked onto Lan Shen's [Magic Armor-Executor].
Just when the [Yellow Gadget] was about to be smashed to pieces by an axe, the cannon opened fire violently, and a shell hit the unsuspecting [Magic Armor-Executor]!
"No, Blue God-san, you are a little impatient. I have already summoned the monster as a warning, but I still launched the attack. You are not careful enough." Looking at Blue God, Yugi shook his head with regret, " Duel Monsters is just a game, but it’s no joke.”
"Trap Card [Support Shot] is activated. When an opponent's monster attacks a monster on my field, this card can only be activated during the damage step to increase the attack power of my monster that is being attacked on the face side of my field. Indicates the attack power value of another existing monster."
I saw that the originally weak [Yellow Gadget] on the game field, with the support of [Mobile Cannon Fortress - Powerful Fortress], actually withstood the axe, which had lost all its power after being bombarded with one shot. He punched lightly with his arm, but it created a storm!
【Yellow Gadget】【ATK1200→4600】
His attack power increased sharply, wildly, and sharply! What else can stop him on the court now? What else can stop me!
The powerful force contained in the weak body burst out in an instant, easily shattering the [Magic Armor-Executor] sent by Blue God. The overflowing power even rushed back to Blue God, and the virtual projection system simulated it in time. There was a weak sense of impact!
[Blue God: 4000→2800LP]
However, after the counterattack was successful, the power of [Yellow Gadget] began to fall again, returning to its original level of 1,200 points. Although it is not stated clearly on the card, the effect of [Supporting Shot] to increase the attack power will only take effect during the damage step. Otherwise, if the increase is permanent, wouldn't cards like [Inherited Power] look stupid? ?
【Yellow Gadget】【ATK4600→1200】
As for Blue God, who saw the monster being destroyed, Yugi comforted him: "Well, although it sounds a little cruel, Blue God, the destruction of monsters is also an important part of the Duel Monsters experience. But it may be my illusion." , I always feel that when you are in a duel, you have a particularly urgent feeling, as if you are being chased by something or carrying something on your back."
"That is indeed your illusion, Muto-san."
It is impossible for the Blue God to tell Yugi, you are right, I bear the entrustment of Lord Xia Di when he died, the prayers of other companions who are Prana, and at the same time I must avenge Sir Xia Di. Because of your persistence, do you want to kill you? He just said in a perfunctory manner.
Yugi also vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but out of his trust in others, he still did not take it to heart. Instead, he looked at Lan Shen and said, "Really? Then Lan Shen, you have no one to fight on the field." Now that the monster is gone, you can end the combat phase and enter the main phase two.”
"In the main phase two, you can cover the cards in your hand such as quick-attack magic cards and trap cards on the backfield, so that they can be activated during my turn."
The Blue God didn't say anything. Instead of following the game's instructions, he played a card first and said: "In my main stage two, I activated the magic card [Stupid Sub-Burial] and put a card from the deck. Send the magic and trap cards to the graveyard. Then activate the effect of the [Fang Realm] I just sent to the graveyard, and add a [Fang Realm] monster from the deck to your hand."
"[Fang Jie]?" Yugi tilted his head and looked at Lan Shen with some strangeness as he retrieved a card from the deck and added it to his hand, "Among the cards you drew before, Lan Shen, there was a card with that name. Is that so? There is also [Stupid Sub-Burial], I remember that it should be the 'SR' card..."
"You remember it wrong, Muto-san." Blue God just said this, and put down all three cards in his hand except the monster card he just retrieved on the back field, and said to Yugi, "Then I set three cards and end my turn."
[Blue God: 2800LP, 1 card in hand]
【Gate Card】X3
Lan Shen couldn't control his heart and desperately wanted to summon the [Fang Realm] monster to start a duel in the dimensional realm, but he still held back. I have only cracked two of the game's cover cards, and I am still a little short of a complete victory, so I must continue to endure. But even so, he still impatiently tried to retrieve the [Square World] monster he wanted to summon in the next turn into his hand.
But Yugi didn't notice anything, enjoying the joy of dueling monsters easily, drew a card and said: "My turn, draw a card."
"Then Normal Summon [Green Gadget] from my hand, and add [Red Gadget] to my hand with its effect."
"When the opponent has no monsters on the field, I can reduce your basic points by attacking directly, Aigami-san. Then I will directly enter the battle phase and use [Mobile Cannon - Powerful Fortress] to directly attack the opponent's duelist, Dirk. Sass cannon!”
Shouting a name that sounds like it will crash, the game commander [Mobile Cannon Fortress-Powerful Fortress] attacks Blue God. Its 3400-point attack power will instantly clear Blue God's remaining basic points once it hits.
However, Lan Shen's Gaika is not a decoration. He also pressed a button and said: "Although I am a novice, I will not be defeated so easily. I want to chain the attack declaration of [Mobile Cannon Fortress-Powerful Fortress]." Come and activate Gaika, [Explode Armor]!"
The corners of Lan Shen's mouth curled up with a proud expression as he watched the [Mobile Cannon Fortress - Powerful Fortress] that was trying to attack him suddenly self-destruct. But he also noticed that Yugi was shaking his head as he watched his monster being destroyed.
"Really, I was too careless and forgot to tell you such an important thing, Mr. Lan Shen." Yugi looked at Lan Shen with apologetic eyes, "Although it sounds like superstition and metaphysics, too many examples have proved it. This point is that among the many cards in Duel Monsters, the [Explosive Armor] card has an extremely dangerous curse."
"If it is destroyed before activation, is invalidated during activation, or the effect does not work on the target, in short, if [Explosive Armor] is possible, it is best not to put it in the deck. At most, it can be used to deceive the opponent's [Whirlwind]." card."
Hearing Yugi's words, Lan Shen frowned and said, "But, haven't I already destroyed Muto-san's [Mobile Cannon Battery - Powerful Fortress] and successfully activated it?"
"That's the most dangerous thing, because [Explosive Armor] destroys monsters and seems to achieve your goal, but it often brings greater danger." Yugi said, pointing to his backcourt, letting Lan God then noticed that at some point a card on his backfield had been opened, revealing a green border.
"Quick attack magic card [Tornado], you can choose a magic trap card on the field to destroy. It is usually used to deal with the opponent's continuous magic and trap cards, but I chained your [Explosive Armor], Aigami-san, to activate it. .”
"What I want to destroy is the [Golden Gadget] on my back field, which is regarded as an equipment card. If it is destroyed by battle or effect, I special summon one other than [Golden Gadget] from the deck. The [Gadget] monster with level 4☆, I Special Summoned [Red Gadget], and added [Yellow Gadget] from the deck to my hand with its effect!"
