Chapter 45: This Is Not a Duel!
The Mask of Light and Darkness brothers found themselves in a dilemma.
Trap Cards were disabled; all the cards they set were rendered useless.
Spell Cards were also disabled, meaning all "Wind"-attribute cards were ineffective.
To defeat the 2800 ATK Silent Swordsman LV7, they would need their ace monster Masked Beast Des Gardius.
"brother, this seems to be a deadlock."
"Indeed. It looks like we must deal with this Silent Swordsman LV7."
Although Odion was defeated by Yu Miao, the situation for the two Mask brothers hadn't changed at all.
Disadvantageous, extremely disadvantageous!!
Lumis wiped the sweat from his face and forcefully drew a card from his deck: "My turn, draw."
[The Mask brothers are in crisis. In this desperate situation, they triggered a god draw...]
Yu Miao looked at this popped-up notification, feeling utterly unperturbed inside.
He had to, and must, get used to people here recalling memories at the drop of a hat, then pulling off a god draw to calm their nerves in the face of a noble sacrifice.
As a duelist, drawing a few key cards isn't too much to ask, right?
"Hahaha, I never expected to draw this card in such a situation." Lumis raised the Monster Card in his hand high, tributing the only monster on his field.
Tribute Summon!!
Click click click...
Several white bone skulls collided, forming a fierce and ugly centipede-like shape.
[Ryu Kokki, 2400 ATK, Zombie]
"So it's this monster." Yu Miao's eyes flickered. He remembered this Ryu Kokki had a mandatory destruction effect targeting Spellcaster or Warrior-type monsters.
Based on Yu Miao's experience...
The effects of anime version Monster Cards often have slight differences from their real card counterparts.
This Ryu Kokki should be no exception.
"When Ryu Kokki targets your monster for an attack, if it is a Spellcaster or Warrior-type, that monster is destroyed instantly!"
"Hahaha, even if Silent Swordsman LV7 has higher ATK, it's powerless before Skull Archfiend of Lightning."
"Because it's a Warrior-type monster." *2
The two Mask brothers were overjoyed. Royal Decree also sealed Yu Miao's Trap Cards, so this attack was bound to succeed.
Silent Swordsman LV7 would inevitably be declared destroyed.
The Mask brothers were about to successfully counterattack. Odion clenched his fist, internally cheering for this pair of brothers.
— Well done, you're doing great. Defeat and humiliate Yu Miao thoroughly!
Marik stared at Yu Miao's face-down card. In theory, with Spells and Traps disabled, this card should definitely have no effect.
But he remembered something.
That night at the coastal warehouse, Yu Miao used a Quick-Play Spell Card called "Silent Sword Slash".
The power of that card was extraordinary. Marik had been pondering it ever since and hadn't found a way to counter it.
Its activation cannot be negated. Its effect cannot be negated.
Isn't that just invincible?
"Ah, so boring." Yu Miao sighed.
Indeed, from the moment "Silent Sword Slash" was set, this duel had lost all suspense.
"Activate my face-down Quick-Play Spell Card, Silent Sword Slash!"
Ding~
The powerful Spell Card was flipped open.
All the duelists present, except Marik, couldn't comprehend it...
Silent Swordsman LV7 indiscriminately restricted Spell Cards, yet Yu Miao was activating a Spell Card.
"Sorry, the activation and effect of Silent Sword cannot be negated. So, in this environment with both Spells and Traps sealed..."
"I have privileges!"
As soon as the words fell, Silent Swordsman LV7 released intense sword energy. The silver longsword in his hand gradually enlarged, turning into a greatsword.
ATK skyrocketed!
[Silent Swordsman LV7: 2800 → 4300 ATK]
"4300 ATK?" the Mask brothers exclaimed in unison.
This attack power... is it trying to reach heaven?
Blue-Eyes White Dragon only has 3000. You actually surpassed the White Dragon by 1300 points!?
"Ah, I forgot to mention. Silent Sword Slash makes my monster unaffected by any card effects this turn."
Therefore, Ryu Kokki's race-specific destruction effect... was nullified.
"Lumis, stop the attack!"
"I can't, I really can't stop it!"
At this moment, Ryu Kokki's attack could not be halted.
Thus, the two monsters clashed!
Boom~
White bones scattered~
Ryu Kokki was cleaved in two!
Lumis screamed: "Ahhhhh..."
[Lumis: 4000 LP → 2100 LP]
"Good brother, I've failed. The task of conquering this monster falls to you." Lumis ended his turn in humiliation.
The Umbra's turn.
But his face was covered in sweat. With Spells and Traps disabled, he simply couldn't figure out how to deal with a 4300 ATK monster.
"Draw... draw card." Umbra drew a card under extreme fear.
Looking at the Umbra's face, which was clearly written with panic, Yu Miao already knew there was no suspense left.
Even drawing a card seemed so feeble. Did he still expect a god draw?
Dream on.
The Umbra looked at the card he drew... Raigeki. His lips trembled.
Under normal circumstances, the Umbra pulling a Raigeki is a god draw would make him grin from ear to ear.
Unfortunately, in this situation, Raigeki was practically a dead card.
"I end my turn." Umbra blurted out this sentence, his face flushed red.
He couldn't do it, he just couldn't!!
Spells/Traps couldn't be used, and he had no low-level monsters in his hand.
Dammit, what else could he do besides ending his turn?
Thud~
The moment his good brother ended his turn, the Lumis fell to his knees, his face etched with pain: "No, this is not a duel."
The other Rare hunters couldn't bear to watch anymore.
It was too tragic...
Was this kind of match really still a duel?
Was this the consequence of opposing Yu Miao?
Instantly, these Rare hunters, including the Pandora, had the thought of refusing to duel Yu Miao.
They had lost their worldly desires.
Outside the underground labyrinth.
"I have Amazoness Swords Woman launch a suicidal charge against your Blue-Eyes White Dragon."
"Koko da, open my face-down Trap Card, Massivemorph!"
[Massivemorph: Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; its ATK and DEF become double its current ATK and DEF, but it cannot attack directly.]
Whoosh~
With the help of Massivemorph, Blue-Eyes White Dragon's ATK increased from 3000 to 6000 points.
"Hmph, I see. Trying to make me lose this duel with massive reflected damage."
"Quite an interesting idea. Your skills aren't bad."
"However..."
"This tactic is too foolish against me!"
Seto Kaiba's slender arm swung forcefully. The Trap Card set on his field flipped open.
Interdimensional Matter Transporter!!
"Target 1 face-up monster you control; banish that target until the End Phase."
Whoosh~
A distorting force instantly sucked the Blue-Eyes White Dragon into it.
"Hmph, ahahahaha! Since the attack target is lost, your monster's attack fails, and you cannot rewind the attack either." Kaiba laughed heartily.
Under normal circumstances, this scenario involves losing the attack target during the Damage Step, resulting in an ineffective attack that cannot be rewound.
In the real card game environment, unless a card's text specifies it can be activated during the Damage Step, generally only Spells/Traps related to ATK can be activated.
But this is Yu-Gi-Oh! DM...
The era of ambiguous timings, the paradise of rule-sharking.
So "Interdimensional Matter Transporter" is just too strong!!
