[Vampire Princess, Defense Power 2000]
Mr. T frowned slightly: "Another miscellaneous monster acting as a wall... Weak. Such a thing can be crushed by King Kong's punch.
Break that Vampire for me!"
The Princess glanced in Yugen's direction, and Yugen just chuckled lightly, "It's fine, I won't let you exit that easily."
Saying this, he slowly raised his right arm.
The Princess could hardly contain her excitement, immediately floated over cheerfully, and bit Yugen's arm with her little fangs.
Mr. T's face showed a strange expression, "What?"
"The effect of Vampire Princess, when your own Undead Race fights with the opponent's monster, you can pay Life Points in multiples of 100 to increase the attacking monster's Attack Power and Defense Power."
Yugen chuckled.
"With the master's blood, she can become stronger. I pay 1000 Life Points to increase the Princess's Defense Power by 1000."
[Yugen, LP3200→ LP2200]
[Vampire Princess, Defense Power 2000→Defense Power 3000]
Nourished by fresh blood, the Princess's aura immediately soared. Her parasol spun open, and King Kong's heavy fist, carrying countless gravel, slammed onto it. Yet the small black umbrella steadied itself, not even shaking a bit.
The Princess was in Defense Position, so no matter how high she increased, she couldn't rebound to destroy King Kong. Thus, raising it to three thousand Defense Power was enough to keep the Princess safe, with no need to waste more blood.
However, this enhancement only lasted until the end of damage calculation; after blocking this strike, the Princess's Defense Power would immediately return to normal.
Mr. T said deeply, "There's still the second strike.
The effect of Double Attack, Gravel Rock King Kong can attack twice this turn.
Go, second attack!"
The massive black King Kong swung his fist a second time, once again aiming at the petite figure of the Princess on the field.
Yugen generously raised his arm again: "Pay another 1000 Life Points to increase the Princess's Defense Power by 1000."
[Yugen, LP2200→ LP1200]
[Vampire Princess, Defense Power 2000→Defense Power 3000]
The Princess beamed with joy, so she happily took a sip. The blood aura clung to her black parasol like a mist, and when King Kong's fist landed on the umbrella, there was still no movement.
After one strike, the Princess was fully satisfied, her eyes smiling into crescent moons, and she said with a smile, "Thanks for the treat."
"Tsk, fine then, I'll set one card, and end my turn."
Mr. T snorted.
The Princess's Monster Effect couldn't be sealed even with Sealing Arrow. Moreover, it seemed that this Monster's nature allowed her to remain as a solid shield on the field, enduring two or three punches as long as blood was consumed.
But in this way, Yugen's Life Points were only 1200 left.
"With your Life Points, you can only afford to pay for this Vampire one more time at most." Mr. T said indifferently, "How long can a Blood Race sustained by trading blood last?"
"Well, it does sound a bit troublesome when you put it that way." Yugen said, "At this rate, I'll run out of blood level... This is bad."
Mr. T showed a smug expression.
But he was only smug for two seconds before he heard Yugen say, "No choice, I'll have to take you out this turn."
Mr. T's smile disappeared.
"What did you say?"
Mr. T looked at him with a frown, somewhat disbelieving.
"My Life Points are still at the untouched four thousand, and you haven't even touched a single finger of mine yet." Mr. T said, "Do you think you could knock me out this turn?"
"That's why your style is lacking, life points and such are just trivial matters, whether it's a bit more or a bit less makes no difference... This turn I'll let you understand the simplest principle."
Yugen said.
"My turn, draw card.
Activate Field Spell 'Black Garden'."
The exclusive field for the Plant Race, the surroundings became instantly entangled with pitch-black vines, transforming into a dark garden wrapped in unknown flora.
"In the Black Garden, every time a monster is summoned by either of us, the attack power of that monster is halved.
And, a 'Rose Derivative' must be Special Summoned onto the opponent's field."
As Yugen said this, he summoned a monster from his hand.
"I summon 'King Tiger' in Attack Position."
[King Tiger, Attack Power 1700→Attack Power 850] (Black Garden effect halves it)
"As I summoned a monster, due to Black Garden's effect, I'll Special Summon a Rose Derivative onto your field."
[Rose Derivative, Attack Power 800]
Mr. T glanced disdainfully at the derivative that appeared on his field.
"What is this supposed to be?"
"King Tiger's effect, while King Tiger is on the field, any monster with an attack power of 1400 or less summoned is destroyed."
Yugen snapped his fingers.
"Rose Derivative's Attack Power is below 1400, so it is destroyed."
Mr. T looked puzzled at the Rose Flower that had just appeared on his field and exploded before it could even stabilize.
"What's the point of this?"
"Because a Plant Race was destroyed, my Continuous Magic 'World Tree' gains a Flower Counter."
Mr. T suddenly realized, "Going through all this trouble just for one counter?"
"One?"
Yugen smiled.
"That's not right.
Next, I activate the Cover Card, Continuous Trap 'Restricted Revival', Special Summon a monster with Attack Power 1000 or less from the Graveyard.
I Special Summon 'Dandelion Lion' from the Graveyard!"
[Dandelion Lion, Attack Power 300→Attack Power 150]
Judai's exclusive card design. However, this monster itself is weak, the duplication difficulty is not high, but its ability is very useful, so Yugen copied one early on.
"Due to Black Garden's effect, a Rose Derivative is Special Summoned onto your field."
[Rose Derivative, Attack Power 800]
Mr. T said, "But both these monsters have an Attack Power below 1500, and due to 'King Tiger's' effect, they have to be destroyed."
Yugen smiled, "Correct, they must be destroyed. But Dandelion Lion is also a Plant Race. Therefore, two Plant Races are destroyed, World Tree gains two more Flower Counters."
[World Tree, Flower Counters 4]
"Then there's Dandelion Lion's effect, when this card is sent to the graveyard, two 'Wooly Derivatives' are Special Summoned onto your field." Yugen said.
[Wooly Derivative, Defense Power 0] x2
Yugen said, "Black Garden's effect, whenever a monster is summoned, a 'Rose Derivative' is Special Summoned to the opponent's field.
However, even though I summoned two Wooly Derivatives, since the two monsters were summoned simultaneously, it's regarded as a single summoning action. So only one 'Rose Derivative' is Special Summoned on your field."
[Rose Derivative, Attack Power 800]
"Of course, all three monsters have an Attack Power below 1400." Yugen snapped his fingers, "King Tiger's effect, all destroyed."
Mr. T's expression changed, "All three monsters are Plant Race..."
"Correct. However, similarly, the two Wooly Derivatives are summoned simultaneously, so they are destroyed by King Tiger simultaneously, and when the World Tree processes the effect, it can only count as a single Plant Race monster being destroyed.
Therefore, although three monsters were destroyed, World Tree only respectively gains one counter from both Wooly Derivatives and Rose Derivatives, totaling two Flower Counters."
[World Tree, Flower Counters 6]
At this point, all preparations were completely finished, the formula for victory quietly assembled.
Some were already corpses, only they themselves hadn't realized it yet.
