Chapter 2: First Battle of the Crossing
"I summon Nightmare Scorpion in Attack Position! My turn ends."
[Nightmare Scorpion, ATK: 900]
The opponent played an Attack Position monster out of six cards in his hand, and announced the end of his turn.
Seeing that the opponent only had a Nightmare Scorpion with an ATK of 900 left in the first attack, and even ended his turn without covering a backfield, You Yong couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Compared to the later generations of big monsters jumping around and storytellers filling the field in one turn, this was really a simple and unpretentious era.
After sighing for a while, You Yong also started his turn.
"My turn, draw a card!" You Yong drew a card from the deck and added it to his hand.
He quickly scanned his hand and found that there were quite a few useless pieces, such as the magic card "Hot Return" that he had just drawn.
You Yong didn't expect that he could get a card so quickly to block him after kicking it.
With the cards in hand now, there was no need to think too much. You Yong quickly drew a monster card and slapped it on the table: "I summon Elemental Hero Explosive Girl in attack position."
[Elemental Hero Explosive Girl, attack power: 1200]
"What? This monster's attack power is 300 points higher than my Nightmare Scorpion!" the opponent was shocked.
You Yong: "..."
"Fight! Elemental Hero Explosive Girl attacks Nightmare Scorpion!" You Yong issued an attack declaration.
Of course, this is not a three-dimensional projection, and they can only handle the battle damage record themselves.
I saw the opponent took the Nightmare Scorpion card into the area representing the graveyard on the table, and subtracted 300 from the LP recorder next to it, and the LP became 1700.
Yes, that's right, the initial life value here is 2000.
In Yu-Gi-Oh DM, before the Duel City Competition held by President Kaiba, the initial life value of the duel was 2000.
"Face three cards, my turn ends." You Yong placed three cards on the magic trap area, and then ended his turn.
"My turn, draw a card!"
The opponent drew a card from the deck, took a look, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"It seems that my luck is not bad. Summon Rock Warrior in attack position." The opponent directly played the card just drawn.
[Rock Warrior, attack power: 1300]
"Fight, I will use Rock Warrior to attack your Explosive Girl! Explosive Girl is no match for Rock Warrior, so Explosive Girl will be destroyed."
The opponent said loudly, ignoring You Yong's backfield three cover direct attack declaration.
According to the rules, the elemental hero Explosive Girl with an attack power of only 1200 is certainly not a match for the Rock Warrior with an attack power of 1300.
You Yong had no intention of talking nonsense, and consciously sent Explosive Girl to the graveyard and subtracted 100 from his LP recorder, which became 1900.
"Then my turn is over, it's your turn." The opponent ended his turn triumphantly.
"My turn, draw a card!" You Yong looked at the card he drew and slapped it on the table.
"Summon Elemental Hero Bubble Man in Attack Position!"
[Elemental Hero Bubble Man, Attack Power: 800]
"Flip the cover card, equip the magic card - Bubble Launcher, equip Elemental Hero Bubble Man, Bubble Man's attack power increases by 800!" You Yong opened one of the three cover cards before.
I had covered this card before, originally intending to use it to scare the opponent, but I didn't expect the opponent to ignore it and attack directly.
[Elemental Hero Bubble Man, Attack Power: 800 → Attack Power: 1600]
"What? The attack power is actually 1600!" The opponent was shocked again.
"Fight! Elemental Hero Bubble Man attacks Rock Warrior!" Seeing that the opponent's backcourt was still empty, You Yong did not hesitate and directly declared an attack.
[Rock Warrior, Attack Power: 1300]
The opponent could only send Rock Warrior to the graveyard and subtract 300 from the LP recorder.
[Opposite, LP: 1700 → LP: 1400]
"Add another card, and my turn is over."
Although he found that the opponent basically ignored his backfield, You Yong still added a new magic card, at least it looked more powerful.
"My turn, draw a card!" The opponent drew a card, frowned after looking at it, and it seemed that he didn't draw the card he wanted.
Then the opponent slapped the card he just drew on the magic trap area and said:
"I activate the magic card - Pot of Greed. According to the effect of this card, I can draw two more cards from the deck."
You Yong: "..."
So why did you frown just now? You Yong was speechless.
The opponent drew two cards and quickly played another card:
"Then I activated the magic card - Angel's Charity, which allows me to draw three cards, but then I have to discard two cards."
You Yong: "..."
Calm down, calm down, they will be named You soon.
After suppressing the discomfort and restlessness in his heart and hinting to himself, You Yong watched the other party continue to operate expressionlessly.
The other party drew three cards in a row and then sent two cards to the graveyard.
"Yoshi, I finally drew a monster that can defeat your Bubble Man. I summon the Brutal Emperor in attack position!"
[Brutal Emperor, level 5, attack power: 1800]
The other party directly summoned a higher-level monster, but You Yong did not find it strange.
Because he knew that before the Duel City plot, the summoning of higher-level monsters did not require sacrifices.
Although it is quite unreasonable, it is the fact. After all, the rules of Duel Monsters are still in the process of exploration and improvement at this time.
Everything must have a process of development and improvement, and we cannot blame it too much.
"Fight! I use the Brutal Emperor to attack your Bubble Man!"
"Your Bubble Man's attack power is only 1600, so your Bubble Man will be destroyed and you will receive 200 points of damage." The other party shouted.
"But the Bubble Launcher can replace Bubble Man when he is destroyed in battle, and the battle damage I receive is 0!"
Yu Yong added as he sent the Bubble Launcher to the graveyard.
"Tsk, it actually has this kind of protection effect, what a troublesome card." The opponent ended his turn unhappily.
He seemed to be completely unaware of how much advantage he had taken with the Pot of Greed and Angel's Charity.
"My turn, draw a card!" Yu Yong took a look at the card he drew and then directly covered it.
Four covers in the backfield.
"Face-down Defense Summon a monster, and change Elemental Hero Bubble Man to Defense Position, and my turn ends."
Yu Yong covered another monster card, and after changing the Elemental Hero Bubble Man card on the table from Hard to Horizontal to Defense Position, his turn ended.
[Bubble Man, Defense: 1200]
"My turn, draw a card!" The opponent drew a card from the deck and added it to his hand.
Then, the opponent played a new monster, "Summon Magic Ghost in Attack Position."
[Magic Ghost, ATK: 1300]
"Bubble Man's DEF is only 1200, I will use the Magic Ghost I just summoned to attack Bubble Man."
You Yong sent Bubble Man to the Graveyard. Because Bubble Man was in Defense Position just now, You Yong would not receive battle damage.
"Next, use Brutal Emperor to attack your Faced Monster."
[Brutal Emperor, ATK: 1800]
You Yong nodded slightly. It was indeed the best choice to keep Brutal Emperor with higher attack power to attack the Faced Monster with unknown defense power, although the result was not much different.
You Yong flipped the Faced Monster and sent it to the Graveyard.
It was an Elemental Hero, Wingman, with a DEF of only 1000, which would be the same no matter which monster the opponent used to attack.
"Then, when Wingman is destroyed by Brutal Emperor, I will activate the Trap Card - Hero Marker." You Yong said.
