"You keep calling yourself a 'real duelist.' You don't know what you're talking about!" Snow was getting angrier and angrier. On one hand, it was because his opponent had confidently proclaimed a completely different concept from his. On the other hand, it was because his opponent had seen through his hand. "Since you're so arrogant, I'll show you what I'm made of!" As he spoke, he made two consecutive moves. "I'll first stamp a card, then … I'll activate the rapid attack magic from my hand — [Hand Overdraft]!"
This card could be played at any time. When it was activated, both players would immediately replenish their hands to six cards and discard three cards at the end of the next turn (of either side).
This card … was obtained by Snow through Tamamo-no-Mae's special effect. Based on the number of cards in his hand and the situation on the field at that time (stamped cards, summoned monsters, and four cards left in his hand), there was not much point in activating it. He might even lose. In the subsequent turn with Feng Bujue, he would not activate it. Not only would he lose, but he would also give his opponent a supplementary card.
But at this moment, Snow urgently needed a summoned monster below four-star to determine his victory. The six cards in his hand (one [Hand Overdraft], one Secondary Trap Card, two Superior Monsters, one card that he had drawn this turn, and one Superior Monster that the Evil Kappa had replenished in his hand) just happened to be missing. Therefore, he stamped a Trap Card (there were two empty slots in the Magic Trap area on his field, and the remaining three slots had two stamped cards and a [Grudge] that was out in the open) and cast [Hand Overdraft].
Therefore, under the effect of the rapid attack magic, Snow drew two more cards.
Although his method did not maximize the effect of [Overdraft Hand] and he even lost a card, in this situation where "as long as I draw a monster below four-star, it is very likely that the battle will end", in front of this "opportunity to kill", any degree of loss of cards was acceptable.
Card games were not a "complete information game" like Go or Chinese Chess. Instead, it was an "incomplete information game" with contingencies, uncertainties, and many random factors. In such a game, there were many steps … that could not be distinguished from "right" and "wrong" until the very last moment.
Perhaps a decision that seemed to be a loss might not actually be a loss, and might even prove to be the best strategy in the end. However, a strategy that seemed to be worth it might end up being a foreshadowing of defeat.
The most ridiculous but most interesting part was that under certain circumstances, even if one made hundreds of mistakes, as long as one's deck was strong enough and one's luck was good enough, one could still win.
But no matter what, at this time and place … that was Snow's judgment. And … judging from the results, he had indeed drawn the card that he wanted.
"Heh … He's here!" Now that things had come to this, Snow had nothing to hide. Even if the other party was just trying to trick him, when he activated [Overdraft of Hand Cards], the other party should have confirmed that he was indeed looking for a low-rank monster. Moreover, he was about to draw this card immediately, so he might as well just say that he had drawn it. "No matter how much I shuffle the card deck, I should have drawn so many cards in a row!"
As he spoke, Snow slapped one of the two cards that he had drawn on the monster section of his duel board. "I'll summon from my usual hand — [Hei Zhong]!"
As soon as he made his declaration, an ugly old woman in ragged clothes with unkempt hair and a dirty face appeared in the arena. She stood there with a hideous grin on her face, holding a bloody kitchen knife in one hand and a small cloth bag that was still oozing blood in the other.
[Hei Zhong], also known as the "Corpse Thief Ghost," was a ghost that lived in graveyards. It would steal the corpses of people who had just died and send them to their homes to scare them as a prank. Sometimes, it would only cut off a certain part of the corpse and take it out for a stroll. Hence, some people called it the Corpse Thief Ghost.
"Next is the battle stage …" After Snow had finished summoning the monster, he immediately followed up with a battle declaration. "[Hei Zhong], attack the monster guarding the opponent's field!"
When he launched this attack, Snow was almost certain that he had won.
In his opinion, there were only two possibilities for Brother Jue to survive. One, the monster that he had summoned had more than 2000 defense and was not affected by the [Hypoxic Zone]. Two, his monster was an effect monster and the flip effect could block the attacks of the other two monsters.
Logically speaking … the probability of both was very low. First, you had to have that kind of card, and second, you had to be lucky enough to draw it.
However, the reality was …
"Hmph … good timing." At the same time, Feng Bujue was already laughing. "At this moment, the flip effect of the monster is activated!"
Before he finished speaking, the monster card that represented the inner side of the field was flipped out and materialized on the field.
Squelch —
This was the sound effect of [Hei Zhong]'s attack on the monster.
Because … Brother Jue's guard monster was [Unstable Slime].
"[Unstable Slime]'s special effect has been activated!" In the next second, Feng Bujue shouted with vigor. "When this monster is attacked and destroyed, it will split into two [Slime Tokens] and place it on the field as a guard." He spread his hands and laughed. "Although [Slime Tokens] have zero attack and zero defense and can't be used as a sacrifice, they can be used as a wall to block your remaining two monsters."
"Tsk …" When Snow saw the Slime split into two like jelly, he knew that his plan to kill his opponent in this round was not going to work. "It just has to have such a disgusting effect …"
[Slime Tokens] did not have gender differences. Even if there were, it had zero attack and zero defense, it would not be able to provide a boost to Tamamo-no-Mae in the next round. Moreover, these two things were obviously not affected by the [Hypoxic Zone], so they could block attacks for the players.
"Noderafu, Tamamo-no-Mae, kill those two small fries!" Snow gave the order to attack in exasperation. His two powerful monsters on the field easily swatted away the two [Slime Tokens] as if they were flies. However … in this round, Feng Bujue did not lose any LP.
According to the rules of [Crazy Thoughts], when the monster represented by the guard was destroyed in battle, the player did not have to take any damage from the battle (unless the attacker had some card effect that could be calculated). Therefore, after this seemingly disadvantageous battle, Feng Bujue survived.
"I … I'll put another card on it …" After all the monsters attacked, Snow put a card on the last empty space in his Magic Trap area and said, "… end this round."
"Ha!" Feng Bujue was waiting for this moment. "Rapid Attack Magic — [Magic Deathmatch], activate!"
Under the effect of [Overdraft of Cards in Hand] just now, Brother Jue now had a total of six cards in his hand.
Logically speaking, at the moment when Snow said the "end declaration," both he and Snow should have discarded three cards from their hands.
However, Brother Jue took the opportunity to activate the rapid attack magic before the effect of "discarding cards" took effect …
"What!" Snow heard and his expression changed abruptly. "It's actually [Magic Deathmatch]!" He obviously knew the effect of this card, which was why he had such a reaction.
"When the [Magic Deathmatch] is activated …" Feng Bujue began to explain with a hot-blooded face. "Both players have to place all the magic and Trap Cards in their hands into the field one by one and immediately activate them. In the case of 'unable to activate,' the cards will be shown to the opponent and then placed." As he spoke, he waved his arm and pointed, continuing in a sarcastic tone, "Given that your Excellency's Magic Trap area is now completely full, there is no place to place cards at all, so … this has nothing to do with you, just watch my performance."
"This guy …" Snow was so angry that he was grinding his teeth, but he could not do anything about it.
"The first card!" Soon, Feng Bujue played a card from his hand. "Trap Card — [Friendly Damage]. The effect of this card is, during the enemy's battle phase, and when the enemy has more than two monsters on the field, choose one of the monsters to battle with the other."
"Hmph … [Nine-Tailed Fox Tamamo-no-Mae] is not affected by this kind of thing!" Snow said coldly.
"Don't worry, I know her special effects." Feng Bujue said, "The effect of this card is not to 'control one of the monsters to attack the other,' but to 'use it on both monsters at the same time.' Therefore, Tamamo-no-Mae, a monster that is immune to traps, cannot be chosen as one of the targets. Luckily … you have two other monsters on the field, don't you? "At this point, he raised his voice," Nodera Square, Kurozuka, let's fight! "
As soon as he said that, the two monsters turned around and attacked each other ferociously. In the end, Nodera Square, which had higher attack power, won. Kurozuka's attack power was 1,500, which was definitely higher than Brother Jue's [Unstable Slime]. But now, he was defeated in the battle and caused 500 LP damage to his master, Snow.
"At this moment, Kurozuka's special effect is activated!" After Snow's LP was reduced to 5500, he said in a displeased tone, "When he dies, summon a [Broken Corpse Monster] that has 500 attack and 500 defense."
Before he could finish his sentence, the cloth bag that Kurozuka dropped on the ground opened by itself. Then, a small monster made of broken body parts crawled out from the bag.
"The second card!" Feng Bujue ignored his opponent and slapped down the second card. "Normal Spell — [Pot of Abstinence]! When this card is activated, both players will choose a card from their hand and show it to their opponent before shuffling it back into the deck. In the following duel, whoever draws the card first will immediately lose 1,000 LP. "
Both he and Snow were very efficient people. By the time they finished speaking, the two of them had already picked out a card from their hands.
Snow chose a seven-star monster that required two sacrifices to summon. He had two of these cards in his hand. Simply put … he would be stuck if he kept them.
Feng Bujue, on the other hand, chose a six-star monster that required a single sacrifice to summon. Since he only had three cards left in his hand (Magic Deathmatch, [Friendly Damage], and [Pot of Abstinence] were among the six cards he had), even if he did not put the card back into the deck, he would have to discard it in the graveyard later.
After the two of them finished displaying their cards, they each put the cards back into the deck. The duel disk automatically completed the shuffling.
"Then … the third card!" A second later, Feng Bujue slapped down another card.
"This guy … How many cards does he have that are Magic Traps?" Snow was starting to panic because, at this point, Feng Bujue only had one card left in his hand. In other words … after this' chain 'of his was over, at most, he would have to discard one card due to the effect of' Overdraft in Hand '.
"Normal Spell — [Programmer's Negligence] … Activate!" Feng Bujue continued with his actions. "The special effect of this card is … to declare a card. No matter if this card is on the field, in the graveyard, in the hand, in the deck, or even if it has been 'excluded,' no matter what the original special effect of this card is, as long as this card actually exists in this duel, then at this current 'stage,' this card will lose all its special effects."
"Ha!" Hearing this, Snow laughed. "Hahaha … A layman will always be a layman! This [Programmer's Negligence] card is your only chance to kill Tamamo-no-Mae! Just now, you just had to bear with it and discard three cards … Then during your own battle phase, you used this spell on Tamamo-no-Mae. You would have been able to kill her without 'triggering Tamamo-no-Mae's death effect' (Yes, Tamamo-no-Mae still has a special effect). " He looked at Brother Jue with disdain. "But you … Because you felt that it was a loss to discard three cards, you forcefully activated [Magic Deathmatch] during my 'end phase.' Therefore, this' in a stage ',' even a God can be suppressed 'spell was wasted by you just like that."
He was right. This card … was indeed an excellent way to get rid of a God card. If it was activated during the battle phase, it could reduce Tamamo-no-Mae's attack and defense back to zero, and it could also restrict her death effect. At this time … If Brother Jue used Sakamoto's 4000 attack on her, then not only would the battle stage … even her LP would be equal.
However, forcefully activating it during the 'end phase of the opponent's turn' was indeed useless.
However …
These were just the thoughts of ordinary people.
After a while, Feng Bujue also smiled. It was an evil smile, a smile that made people shudder. "Hmph … When did I say that I was going to use this card on Tamamo-no-Mae?"
In this duel, this was the first time that Feng Bujue showed such an expression …
Those who were familiar with Brother Jue knew that when he showed such an expression, the person who stood opposite him would be in big trouble …
"What … did you say?" Snow did not understand what the other party wanted to do. Of course, he would understand soon …
"The card that I announced is …" Feng Bujue said. He slowly raised his right arm and pointed at his card graveyard. "The [Nameless King] that is currently sleeping in my graveyard."
Snow could not believe his ears. He almost blurted out, "What did you say! This is impossible! How could the [Nameless King] be in your graveyard … "
Before he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly …
Because at this moment, a set of memories flashed in front of his eyes.
"It's … at that time …" A few seconds later, Snow's face was full of shock and he muttered in a daze.
"That's right, it's' at that time '," Feng Bujue said.
In this duel, Feng Bujue only had one "opportunity" to throw the [Nameless King] into the graveyard, and that was …
"I used the cost of 'throwing a card into the graveyard' to special summon … [Sword-Wielding Deceiver]." Feng Bujue repeated the sentence that he said in the first round. "Do you still remember?"
"You actually …" Snow was completely speechless. "At the beginning of the game, you threw the [Nameless King] card into the graveyard …"
He did not understand, he really did not understand … He could not figure it out and could not understand it.
"What logic? What intention? What the hell! "Snow used a parallel sentence to fully express his current feelings.
"Haha … That's why I said that you still have a long way to go." Feng Bujue said, "Fools who look down on duels … Take a good look and see how a real duelist wins this battle!"
After saying that, he used a move that was so cool that it was embarrassing. He slapped the last card in his hand … onto the duel plate.
"This is the fourth card that I'm going to activate, and it's also the last one …" Feng Bujue said in a low voice. "Normal Magic — [Resurrection of the Dead]!" He paused for half a second, stood upright, and waved his arm again. "The target of this card is, at this stage, regarded as a normal card and can temporarily be affected by magic cards … The strongest god — [Nameless King]!"
