Chapter 28: Best Partner
"Heh, Draw." An immensely satisfied Yu Miao drew a card from his deck and immediately activated the one he drew: "Pot of Greed!"
The power of a forbidden card is beyond your imagination.
Pot of Greed, which replaces itself with two new cards for no cost, represents the terrifying power of "creating something from nothing."
Gaining card advantage + deck thinning for no cost is also the reason Pot of Greed is permanently locked away.
Activating it means profit!
His fingers swiftly moved across the deck.
Yu Miao drew wildly!
At this moment, the number of cards in his hand reached 3.
"Activating Call of the Mummy's effect, I Special Summon a Zombie-Type monster from my hand!" Yu Miao declared loudly.
"You're actually using my Continuous Spell Card?" Muzan felt a sickening sense of being cucked.
"Call of the Mummy allows a player to Special Summon a Zombie-Type monster from their hand. It doesn't say I can't use it..." Yu Miao's mouth slowly curved into a smile.
Yeah right...
In the real card game, the opponent cannot borrow the effect of "Call of the Mummy."
But this version Muzan used was the anime version, and this is Yu-Gi-Oh! DM, where imperfect rules easily lead to rule breaking!
This move was equivalent to when Yami Yugi used Pandora's "Dark Magic Curtain" in their duel to summon a Dark Magician from his deck.
That's right, Yu Miao learned from Yami Yugi and cheated this time.
The feeling of successfully breaking rules is so satisfying!
"..."
Ding~
[Bacon Saver, 600 DEF, Zombie-Type]
"By banishing Silent Sword from the Graveyard, I add 1 "Silent Swordsman" monster from my Deck to my hand."
Yu Miao took the Quick-Play Spell Card "Silent Sword Slash" from his Graveyard and placed it in the banished zone.
Then, he searched his deck and added a Silent Swordsman LV5 to his hand.
"He actually has a search effect like that too?" Muzan's breathing became rapid, his feeling of unease growing larger and larger.
Yu Miao tributed the "Bacon Saver" on his field, explaining: "I Tribute Summon Silent Swordsman LV5."
Ding~
A tall, more mature-looking Silent Swordsman appeared.
[Silent Swordsman LV5, 2300 ATK, Warrior-Type]
"It's not over yet. Activate the Spell Card in my hand."
"Level Up!!"
This "Level Up" allows you to send a LV monster to the Graveyard, then Special Summon 1 monster listed in that sent LV monster's text from your hand or Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions.
Dazzling light erupted.
When the silver light dissipated,
The complete form, Silent Swordsman LV5, had already evolved into its ultimate form.
[Silent Swordsman LV7, 2800 ATK, Warrior-Type]
2800 Attack Points?
So high!
Just as Muzan thought Yu Miao had more moves...
Yu Miao ended his turn very decisively: "Set 1 card. I end my turn."
Muzan's expression first changed from nervous to disbelief, and finally to arrogance!!
Hahaha, is that it?
Damn it, Lord Muzan was almost intimidated by you.
This extreme sense of contrast made Muzan's hatred for Yu Miao skyrocket.
To avoid complications, Muzan wanted to defeat his opponent this very turn:
"Watch me finish you, Draw!"
"I Normal Summon this monster."
"Appear, Pyramid Turtle."
Ding~
A turtle monster carrying a giant golden triangular pyramid entered the field.
[Pyramid Turtle, 1200 ATK, Zombie-Type]
Muzan entered the Battle Phase. At this time, he activated a card from his hand, Seal of the Forbidden Spell!!
"You cannot activate Magic, Trap, or Monster effects in response to the activation of this Anti-Magic Arrows."
"After Anti-Magic Arrows resolves, neither player can activate Magic or Trap Card effects for the rest of this Battle Phase."
That's right, once this Quick-Play Spell Card is successfully activated, Yu Miao would inevitably lose this turn.
However!
Under Muzan's incredulous gaze, the Anti-Magic Arrows card... crumbled on its own.
This was the first time Muzan saw Anti-Magic Arrows fail. He shook his head and muttered:
"Impossible, why is this happening?"
To make Muzan concede defeat willingly, Yu Miao explained:
"Silent Swordsman LV7 is the highest-level Warrior-Type monster. Any Spell Card loses its effect in his presence, including Anti-Magic Arrows."
This was the rule-sharking version explanation.
The official explanation would be: While Silent Swordsman LV7 is on the field, the effects of all Magic Cards on the field are negated.
This Magic-negating effect is a Continuous Effect, so it does not start a chain.
"Damn it, so what?"
"A mere 2800 Attack Points? Vampire's Curse has 3000."
The attack continued. The Vampire's Curse opened its bloody maw and fiercely flew towards Silent Swordsman LV7.
"You fell for it! Activate Trap Card, Sakuretsu Armor." Yu Miao activated the Trap Card without hesitation.
Whoosh~
Explosive flames began to coil around the Vampire's Curse.
A vampire destroyed by a card effect cannot revive.
"Foolish guy, I already knew you had a Trap Card like that." Muzan said with a fanatical expression, because he had prepared for it.
Ding~
A Counter Trap Card set last turn was flipped face-up.
「Trap Stun」
Trap Stun negates the activation of an opponent's Trap Card and destroys it.
Under the chaotic disrupting power, Sakuretsu Armor was negated.
However.
Yu Miao instead showed a smile, saying excitedly:
"Just as I expected, I knew this card would definitely fail to resolve."
"After Sakuretsu Armor is negated, this Trap Card will bury everything you have!"
Thump~
The Trap Card that Yu Miao had set from the beginning and hadn't activated until now, was flipped face-up.
Witch's Strike!
Sakuretsu Armor combined with Witch's Strike truly has a 100% success rate. So awesome!
Dark purple arcs of electricity released violence, blooming with a dazzling, blinding light within the internal environment of this Shadow Game.
BOOOOOOM!
It happened in an instant.
Vampire's Curse, Pyramid Turtle, and all the cards in Muzan's hand were utterly destroyed.
"What kind of power is this?" Muzan knelt on the spot.
What a terrifying card, instantly destroying all the cards on his field and in his hand.
This...
Is just unplayable.
Keith (Marik) also gasped sharply, equally shocked by this "Witch's Strike."
At this moment.
Despair caused Muzan's reason to collapse. A pungent liquid seeped out from under his trouser legs.
"I end your turn. It's my turn now." Yu Miao looked at the lifeless Muzan and said: "Draw!"
Entering the Battle Phase!
Silent Swordsman LV7 launches a direct attack on Muzan.
Muzan, having lost all his cards, couldn't resist this attack at all.
"Don't come any closer, please, I beg you." Muzan cried and started pleading for mercy.
Yu Miao remained unmoved.
He wasn't a gentle person like the original Yugi.
SLASH!!
Muzan was struck by the blade. The attack connected.
"Yame– (Stop...)"
Muzan spat blood from his mouth.
[Muzan: 2500 LP → 0 LP]
In the end, Muzan met the same fate as Dio.
Transformed into bloody water by the Shadow Game, until completely devoured.
Now, only one opponent remained.
Sukuna would take Muzan's place in the duel.
Yu Miao looked coldly at the complex-faced Sukuna, gesturing with his hand: "Now, it's your turn."
Hearing these words.
Sukuna's breathing became rapid, his expression twisted, seeming to deeply regret everything that happened tonight.
They were wrong.
The most egregious mistake they made was misjudging the strength of this Yu Miao before them.
