“What?”
Dark Masked, still reveling in the joy of summoning his powerful monster, was completely unprepared for Yu Xuan's dangerous trap card. He was stunned.
The unbreakable shield enveloped Yu Xuan. The Ghostly Face Monk charged forward, but before he could bring his staff down, he was consumed by the white light and exploded in an instant.
“What a dangerous card.”
Yu Xuan chuckled.
Sacred Protection Shield – Reflecting Mirror Force, in this era, was indeed formidable, known as the undisputed king of over-defense.
If you could consider Exploding Armor and Dimensional Confinement as self-defense, destroying the opponent for attacking, then Sacred Protection Shield was pure over-defense. When the opponent attacked, it would simply wipe out the opponent's entire family!
It was incredibly cruel and merciless.
“Damn it! But now you have no means of defense. I activate the magic card, Call of the Haunted, reviving the Ghostly Face Monk from my graveyard!”
Dark Masked, using the omnipotent revival magic card, resurrected his graveyard monster.
The Ghostly Face Monk had been properly Ritual Summoned and didn't have any specific restrictions, so it could be revived using this method.
Climbing out of the graveyard, the Ghostly Face Monk once again swung its staff towards the card that Yu Xuan was hiding under.
Gem Knight Jade seeing the enemy's ferocious attack, with a look of "who can withstand this," bravely sacrificed itself and was destroyed.
Activating a normal magic card during the battle phase, that's just too unsportsmanlike.
Yu Xuan had a look of disbelief on his face. He turned to Kaiba, and the CEO was calm, completely unfazed by the maneuver.
“Cherish the few turns you have left.”
Dark Masked glared at Yu Xuan with malice, covering two cards and ending his turn.
He considered Yu Xuan to be completely empty. Even if his Life Points were high, they wouldn't last long before he was defeated.
“Draw!”
Yu Xuan looked at the card he drew, Bright Fusion.
Seeing this card, Yu Xuan sighed in relief. He finally had the card he needed. Now he could fuse.
However, before he could start, he had something else to do.
“I activate Black Hole, destroy all monsters on the field.”
A black vortex spun rapidly in the center of the field. Its irresistible gravity obliterated everything in its path. It was like an endless abyss, swallowing everything whole.
“Why do you have Black Hole?”
Light Masked and Dark Masked were both shocked.
They had their back row wiped out last turn, and now their monsters were going to be blown up this turn, the powerful monsters they had carefully Ritual Summoned.
All this was thanks to Yu Xuan. Why did he have these cards?
The organization's intel didn't mention anything about this!
“*Game King profanity*”
“Yu Xuan, what are you doing?!”
Even Kaiba couldn't hold back. Black Hole, like a big storm, was a magic card that affected both sides, indiscriminately.
He had three monsters on his field, including Blue-Eyes White Dragon!
Kaiba wanted to take back his words about everyone fighting solo.
Please, show some teamwork spirit! Consider your teammate!
“What's wrong with what I'm doing? You have three monsters on the field, but they're either weak or their attacks have been sealed by magic cards. In this situation, can you destroy the Ghostly Face Monk?”
Yu Xuan shrugged innocently, claiming he was doing it for their victory, and tried to persuade Kaiba: "Kaiba, if the cards you covered can be used now, use them now, otherwise, you probably won't be able to use them later."
“Hmph, I hope you have a reasonable explanation!”
Kaiba understood the implication of Yu Xuan's words, his anger subsided, and he revealed his two face-down cards.
“I activate Break Through and Defense Wheel.”
Break Through has the effect of destroying a face-up monster on the field, and both players receive damage equal to the destroyed monster’s attack power.
Under Kaiba's command, Break Through was attached to Ghostly Face Monk's neck. Once it exploded, everyone would receive 3200 effect damage.
Of course, Kaiba didn't care. He had Defense Wheel to protect him, making him immune to the effects of trap cards.
As for his teammate, Yu Xuan, he didn't want to protect the guy who had blown up his Blue-Eyes.
“Partner!”
Seeing Break Through about to explode, Light Masked panicked. He only had 2800 Life Points left, and if he took this damage, he would be eliminated.
“Don't worry, I got this!”
In a moment of desperation, Dark Masked flipped his face-down magic card: Magic Transfer, moving Kaiba's Defense Wheel in front of Light Masked.
“Boom!”
Break Through exploded, and the powerful impact inflicted effect damage on everyone who didn't have Defense Wheel protection.
【Dark Masked LP 4000 → LP 800】
【Kaiba Seto LP 3500 → LP 300】
【Yu Xuan LP 4000 → LP 800】
“You think you're smart? Look at what happened to you now.”
Light Masked was still shaken by his near-elimination, but he couldn't resist taking a jab at Yu Xuan and the others.
Yu Xuan was unfazed by his significantly reduced Life Points.
In a duel, Life Points were meant to be spent. As long as they didn't hit zero, it didn't matter how much was left.
100 Life Points could be impenetrable, while 20,000 could be wiped out in one turn.
“Don't get too cocky. My turn isn't over yet. I'm going to destroy your face-down cards, too!”
A second round of Big Storm.
Seeing the howling wind approaching their face-down spells and traps, the Masked Duo felt like they were going to die.
Can we even duel properly?
Why does your field always end up empty whenever your turn comes?
“Surprise, surprise. The real surprise is yet to come. I activate Bright Fusion.”
With his field completely cleared, Yu Xuan made his move.
This turn, he had to finish off all his opponents, or else, when his turn ended, Kaiba, with nothing on his field, would probably die instantly.
He still needed the CEO to change the game rules. He couldn't just let him die there.
Yu Xuan sent two Xiao Li and one Xiao Liu from his deck to the graveyard, fusing them into Gem Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond.
“By Xiao Li's effect, I return Xiao Liu and Jade from my graveyard to my hand. Then I activate Brilliant Diamond's ability to release herself, come forth, Gem Knight King Brilliant Diamond.”
The Gem Knight King with an attack power over 3000 appeared on the field, its bright, dazzling light causing the Masked Duo's faces to turn pale.
With everything cleared, both their spells and traps and their monsters, they had no defense.
Yu Xuan could choose whoever he wanted to attack, and they would die.
“Are you two wondering who I'm going to attack? Don't worry, I'm not targeting anyone.”
A benevolent smile spread across Yu Xuan's face.
