"It's my turn, I draw a card."
Yugen draws a card, glances at it briefly, and casually switches the Monster Card on his Duel Disc from attack to defense.
"I switch 'Aztec Stone Statue' from Attack Position to Defense Position."
[Aztec Stone Statue, Attack Power 300→Defense Power 2000]
"Next, I'll cover a monster in Face-down Defense Position on the field," Yugen said, "and finally add a Covering Card, ending my turn."
Seeing his maneuvers, Guardian Bao couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh.
"Resorting merely to defense, you've become utterly helpless... Well, facing Lord Bao, one of the Five People, you really have no other choice."
Yugen watched him without any expression, letting him laugh.
"Alright." Guardian Bao smirked and said boastfully, "This turn, let me help you end this torment.
It's my turn, I draw a card!"
He glanced at his Continuous Trap in the backfield and said.
"In the preparation phase, the Continuous Trap 'Level Surround Net - Gravity Doubling' still requires sacrificing a monster to remain. But at this point, it's no longer needed.
I choose not to pay the cost and let this card be destroyed."
The Level Surround Net exploded with a bang into pieces, and the black energy ball in mid-air vanished.
"Now the attack restriction for Level Four is lifted, but it doesn't matter anymore. This turn, I'll end this duel!" Guardian Bao declared, "I summon 'Genetic Werewolf' in Attack Position!"
The genetically modified white werewolf, born for combat, with a powerful physique and a fierce face, has four arms full of destructive power, claimed to be the strongest without side effects among Four-Star Monsters.
[Genetic Werewolf, Attack Power 2000]
"Go ahead, with 'Demon Giant God', attack 'Aztec Stone Statue'!"
The gigantic Demon God swung its heavy arm once more, like an overwhelming force, directly towards the statue on Yugen's field.
But Yugen was waiting for this moment.
"Activate Cover Card." Yugen snapped his fingers, "Trap Card 'Wall of Division'."
The trap activated, and the cracks that appeared instantly divided the field, like a sliced cake. Several sections of the land sank, and invisible forces pressed down with unseen gravity towards Bao's field.
"Wall of Division, activated when an opponent's monster declares an attack. Decreases the attack power of all Attack Position monsters on the opponent's field by the number of opponent's monsters x800 points."
"Number of monsters x800... I have three monsters on the field." Bao frowned, "So, Demon Giant God, Two-headed Beast, and Genetic Werewolf all must decrease by 2400 attack power?"
His Demon Giant God, with the highest attack power on the field, was just 2400; taking this Wall of Division hit would drop all three big monsters' attack power to zero!
"That's right. And the 'Aztec Stone Statue' you chose as your attack target has another effect," Yugen chuckled, "Aztec Stone Statue, when attacked by the opponent, the battle damage inflicted on the opponent's player from that battle becomes double the original!"
Guardian Bao: "!"
Double the original, doesn't that mean...!?
[Aztec Stone Statue, Defense Power 2000]
If Wall of Division drops his three monsters' attack power to 0, any monster that attacks will instantly rebound 2000 times two, which is 4000 points in battle damage.
OTK in the opponent's turn!
"You brat... Was this your strategy from the start!?" Guardian Bao shouted.
In this dimension led by their Overlord, where strength is revered, this was almost an unimagined path.
In fact, Guardian Bao's duel clearly shows it. His Continuous Trap "Level Surround Net - Gravity Doubling" is a card filled with contempt for Subordinate Monsters, under this trap, only Upper-Level Monsters have the right to appear in battle.
But now it seems, his blockade has no meaning against this person.
Because he never intended to attack from the start!
No need to attack for victory, something unimaginable for local people. This person neither plans to attack nor summon big monsters, nor intends to break through Bao's blockade or defeat his field setup.
He actually only planned to wipe out his opponent with an OTK-level trick shot!
This bold strategy shocked Bao, but...
"Counterattack Trap!" Guardian Bao yelled, activating his backfield, "'Thief's Seven Tools'!
When a Trap Card is activated, pay 1000 Life Points to negate and destroy that activation!"
[Guardian Bao, LP3000→ LP2000]
"Pay 1000 Life Points, negate 'Wall of Division's activation and destroy it!"
The Trap Card was destroyed, and the crisscross cracks on the ground immediately restored as before. The field returned to normal, and the Demon Giant God's heavy step continued, the attack proceeded.
Counterattack Trap cannot be chained by other cards, Demon Giant God's attack smoothly connected, smashing the Aztec Stone Statue into powder.
"What a sneaky outsider, is your world all about dueling with such underhanded tricks?" Guardian Bao muttered, wiping his sweat, "So close, if not for Thief's Seven Tools, I almost fell for your trap."
But after that close call, Bao became wary of Yugen.
This guy is dangerous, better deal with him quickly to avoid complications.
"But this time it's really over!" Guardian Bao shouted, "Next is Genetic Werewolf's attack on the face-down covered monster!"
[Genetic Werewolf, Attack Power 2000]
Taking out the covered monster leaves him with Two-headed Beast still to attack. Two-headed Beast can attack twice per turn, and the opponent's life points are at 2400.
Guardian Bao squinted his eyes, with a victorious smirk.
Got it.
"Activate Cover Card." Yugen nonchalantly waved his hand, opening another backfield card, "Trap Card 'Terror Strike'."
"Another trap?" Bao frowned.
"Terror Strike's effect, remove two monsters from your graveyard from the game, select any face-up Attack Position monster on the field."
Yugen revealed two "Giant Rats" from the graveyard and explained.
"I banish two 'Giant Rats' from the graveyard and activate targeting your face-up Attack Position 'Genetic Werewolf.'
The monster selected by 'Terror Strike's' effect, until the end of the turn... its attack power becomes 0."
Guardian Bao: "..."
"......"
"........."
[Genetic Werewolf, Attack Power 2000→Attack Power 0]
Genetic Werewolf, the so-called strongest Four-Star, was weakened by a trap and instantly deflated like a balloon.
"Of course, your attack declaration has been made, the number of monsters on the field hasn't changed, can't roll back attack instructions, so the attack command can't be revoked."
Yugen squinted his eyes, smiling.
"Aztec Stone Statue's effect, when the battle is established, inflict double... that is 4000 battle damage to the opponent's player."
He paused, kindly reminding.
"If you have any last words, now might be your last chance."
Guardian Bao: "Damn you..."
Genetic Werewolf's claw landed on the statue, getting tossed up by the enormous rebound. The counterforce turned into a transparent vortex, like an air cannon directly hitting Bao's face, blasting the unfinished words back into his stomach.
[Guardian Bao, LP2000→ LP0]
