Chapter 74: Joey?
Fusion?
Joey realized Yu Miao actually wanted to Fusion Summon at this moment!?
Thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem impossible.
After all, Yu Miao had been hit by "Threatening Roar" this turn, absolutely forbidding him from declaring an attack.
This was an effect on the player themselves, noble and beautiful.
Since he couldn't attack, summoning a new Fusion Monster was an option. Anyway, Fusion Monsters couldn't attack on the turn they're summoned.
"Joey, watch closely, this is invincible power!"
"Even if I can't attack, this duel has already reached its conclusion."
Under the power of the Spell Card - Polymerization, Yu Miao directly revealed the "Dark Magician" from his hand and the "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" he had... taken over.
"O crimson-black knight, shatter the chains that bind you to the rift of this world, and bring endless destruction to my enemy!"
"Come forth, the king born from super magic..."
"Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon!!"
Whoosh~~
Black and red flames spread out behind Yu Miao, followed by a massive pillar of light crashing down, breaking through the distortion of the fusion.
A rumbling sound erupted, pointing straight at the heavens, as if to pierce through the entire sky and earth, illuminating the entire battlefield.
Within that black and red, an armored super magic knight slowly appeared, circling and flying in the sky, with dragon roars echoing...
Finally, it landed behind Yu Miao, quietly awaiting orders.
[Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, 3000 ATK, Spellcaster]
Joey was horrified by the earth-shattering scene before him. What kind of powerful and mysterious existence was this?
Dark Magician + Red-Eyes Black Dragon?
They could actually be used like this?
Joey realized his thinking was too narrow. He thought the Red-Eyes Black Dragon could at most play around with "Summoned Skull," never imagining it could collude with the Dark Magician.
It was truly amazing.
"Don't forget, you still can't attack this turn," Joey loudly reminded Yu Miao, hoping the other wouldn't be ungrateful.
However.
Yu Miao retorted to Joey:
"What if I can't attack?"
"Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon is the most excellent power; even without attacking, it can destroy the opponent."
"[This effect can be activated during your Main Phase. Destroy 1 monster on your opponent's field, and inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's original ATK.]"
What!?
Such a powerful destruction effect and it inflicts effect damage?
Joey was instantly dumbfounded.
Yu Miao continued adding salt to the wound, saying:
"I forgot to mention, this effect can be used a number of times per turn up to the number of Normal Monsters used as this card's Fusion Material."
"Dark Magician + Red-Eyes Black Dragon are 2 Normal Monsters, so this effect can be used twice."
"Blue Flame Swordsman and Axe Raider, struggle for me!"
"In the abyss of blood and darkness!"
As soon as the words fell, the Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon began to emit a red light.
In the sky, two intense masses of black and red flame descended.
What terrifying and dreadful power this was.
Joey hadn't yet witnessed the horror of the God Cards, but in his eyes, the Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon at this moment might be the power of a deity.
Under the burning effect of Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, the two monsters on Joey's field were utterly destroyed.
Simultaneously, the flames spread to Joey himself, forcing him to pay a painful price.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!" Joey's entire body was burning with black and red flames!
[Joey: 2700 LP → 0 LP]
Thud~
Joey knelt on the ground with a stunned expression.
"I lost... I lost." Joey repeated these words.
This was an ordinary duel, not a Shadow Game, so Joey merely lost.
Yu Miao walked up to Joey, raised the prime example of a vanilla, the "Red-Eyes Black Dragon," and explained:
"I'll be waiting for you in Duel City."
"Go and get stronger. Until the day you can stand on your own without relying on this card, come challenge me again."
"Make me acknowledge you..."
After speaking, Joey watched Yu Miao's retreating back, clenching his fists, unable to utter a single word.
Because the defeat was too painful, Joey shut down...
Yu Miao prepared to report his mission progress to Yami Marik. He had defeated Joey and taken the Red-Eyes Black Dragon.
Incidentally, due to the special quest "Path of the Duelist," he also obtained several "Joey- Exclusive Card Packs."
Having nothing better to do, Yu Miao opened Joey's exclusive card packs...
[Congratulations on obtaining Quick-Play Spell Card "Scapegoat" (UR)*1]
[Congratulations on obtaining Effect Monster Card "Gearfried the Iron Knight" (SR)*1]
[Congratulations on obtaining Effect Monster Card "Battlin' Boxer Veil" (R)*1]
"..."
Wow. The first two cards were somewhat related to Joey. "Gearfried the Iron Knight" could combo with some cards for interesting plays, and "Scapegoat" was also very practical.
As for the last card, "Battlin' Boxer Veil"... was this meant to set him on an irreversible path of "Kuriboh-ing"?
"Battlin' Boxer Veil" was a Warrior-type monster. Yu Miao didn't expect Joey's exclusive packs to yield this kind of hand trap.
"Kuriboh" + "Sphere Kuriboh" + "Veil" + "Swift Scarecrow"...
Yu Miao scratched the back of his head, pondering a question: who could actually defeat him now?
While Yu Miao was captivated by the charm of hand traps, a suspicious-looking Ghouls hunter happened to appear before him.
"Heh, Lord Yu Miao, I didn't expect you to beat me to dealing with that loser," said the Rare hunter, feeling deeply pained. Unlike Yu Miao's interception, he had had his eyes on Joey, whose duelist rank was designated as "Loser" by KaibaCorp, for a while.
After observing for some time, he had planned to find an opportunity to challenge Joey today and take his Red-Eyes Black Dragon.
Only then would he live up to the glorious name of a Rare hunter.
Yu Miao examined this unfamiliar Rare hunter before him. He probably knew exactly who this person was.
Yes, it should be that bastard who swapped out all the fake "Exodia" cards in the warehouse.
In the original story, the Rare hunter who got screwed over by Yami Yugi's single "Lightforce Sword."
"I've finally run into you." Yu Miao was excited. He hadn't caught this bastard at the last underground meeting, and now he had an unexpected harvest today.
With that, Yu Miao took out the Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Dark Magician, asking Jack: "Do you want them?"
Looking at the two Rare Cards, he nodded frantically.
Yu Miao then activated his Duel Disk. Then let's duel! Show me your Exodia technique!
Under the immense temptation, he couldn't help but agree to this duel.
Damn it, don't let him open with a full Exodia set, otherwise even Lord Marik would eat shit.
His's expression twisted viciously. He wouldn't miss this chance. Today, the Dark Magician and Red-Eyes Black Dragon must bear his surname.
This was the confidence Exodia gave him!!
And so, an unexpected duel began.
Yu Miao narrowed his eyes at him, feeling his own deck tremble.
The true Exodia seemed to be angry.
Because none of the Exodia pieces in his's deck were real; they were all counterfeits.
Perhaps because the true Exodia was angry, a special quest appeared before Yu Miao...
