Chapter 1013: King of Poisonous Snakes |
"Activate the Spell Card ‘Monster Reborn'!" Professor Cobra said, "I resurrect the ‘Double Coston' in my GY!"
[Double Coston, ATK 1700]
"When Double Coston is used for the Tribute Summon of a DARK monster, it can be treated as 2 Tributes."
Yuei Vu's thoughts moved slightly.
Reptile, DARK monster, must be Tribute Summoned by two sacrifices… Is that card coming?
"I used Double Coston as two sacrifices! Tribute Summon!
Show up, Level 8…
Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes! ! ! "
The monster on the field was split in two from the middle, resulting in the two sacrifices which turned into particles of light and dissipated. A pillar of chaos erupted from the center of the duel arena, and a venomous snake hidden in a wide robe, standing like a human, appeared in the field.
If you encountered this kind of monster in a dark place at night, you would probably pee on the spot.
[Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes, ATK 0]
Sure enough, the Venom Snake King showed up.
Professor Cobra only had a short scene in the whole story and only one card game. The reason why he was remembered by the audience was not only because of his characteristics but also because of the ace monster in his deck.
Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes, the evolved form of the "Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes" that appeared now.
The reason why it was impressive was that Vennominaga had the "absolute resistance", which was unique in the GX era, and even extremely rare in the entire Yu-Gi-Oh card pool.
It was not affected by any card effects and could be continuously resurrected even if it was defeated in battle.
What's more distinctive was that it had a Duel Winner effect similar to the "Exodia".
A monster with absolute resistance and Duel Winner effects like this would be a super BOSS not only in the GX era but in the Yu-Gi-Oh history. Naturally, they could not be ignored by players.
That was to say, the conditions for the appearance of this thing were too complicated, otherwise it would still be quite terrible in terms of its performance strength.
"Interesting." Yuei Vu smiled.
He really wanted to see this kind of super-BOSS monster. If Professor Cobra couldn't summon this thing, Yuei Vu would feel it was a pity.
There were many monsters in animation who liked to put the title of "God", "Divine", "Deity", etc.. on their heads, but most of them were small fish and shrimps and were not worthy of this title.
But the Venom Snake God was different. This thing was one of the few monsters that truly deserved the word "Deity" in its name.
Of course, what the professor has summoned was not the great snake god yet, but still just the "Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes".
"The attack power of Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes increased by 500 points for each Reptile monster in my graveyard." Professor Cobra said, "Now, there are a total of eleven Reptile monsters in my graveyard, so it gains 5500 ATK! "
[Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes, ATK 0 → ATK 5500]
The surrounding audience was all shocked.
"Suddenly appeared a monster with an attack power of 5,500!?"
"Oh my God, is this foreign school professor too powerful?"
"Battle!" Professor Cobra waved his hand, "Use ‘Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes' to attack the ‘Magician of Chaos'!"
The Venom Snake King let out a cold and sharp laugh, shook his sleeves, and a dangerous red light flashed in his eyes!
"Open the set card!" Yuei Vu snapped his fingers, "Trap Card ‘Magician Navigation'! Special Summon 1 ‘Dark Magician' from my hand, then Special Summon 1 Level 7 or lower DARK Spellcaster monster from my Deck!”
A card popped out from the deck and was taken out by Yuei Vu along with another card in his hand.
"‘Dark Magician' and ‘Magician of Dark Illusion' are summoned at the same time!"
The two black magic arrays were rotated separately, and the black-robed mages flew out, one on the left and the other on the right squatting down in front of Yuei Vu.
[Dark Magician, DEF 2100]
[Magician of Dark Illusion, DEF 2500]
"It's useless." Professor Cobra said coldly, "It's just two more walls. It's nothing more than delay."
"That's not necessarily true." Yuei Vu smiled, "You haven't forgotten the effect of the ‘Magician of Chaos', have you?"
Professor Cobra: "!"
By the way, the effect of this guy is…
"Once per turn, when a Spell/Trap Card or effect is activated, a card on the field is destroyed." Yuei Vu said, "Because the ‘Magician Navigation' is activated, the ‘Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes' is destroyed!”
Professor Cobra's expression suddenly darkened.
Not only Vennominon had an attack power of up to 5500, but also had the effect of infinitely resurrecting when it was destroyed by battle by banishing a Reptile monster from the graveyard.
There were eleven Reptile monsters sleeping in his graveyard. In other words, Vennominon had eleven lives.
Of course, you could also blow up Vennominon directly through card effects, but this would play into Professor Cobra's hands.
When "Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes" was destroyed by means other than battle, through the effect of the trap card "Rise of the Snake Deity", he could Special Summon the invincible "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes" from his hand or deck!
The Snake God was an invincible monster. As long as it was successfully summoned, any enemy, even the Duel King, would be swept away!
But now the problem was…
The trap card "Rise of the Snake Deity" he used to summon the Snake God still hasn't been Set yet!
Yuei Vu aimed at this gap.
The summoning of the Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes must be through the effect of that trap.
But Cobra's backfield was empty right now. If the Snake King was blown up now, Professor Cobra would obviously have no chance to complete the summoning of Vennominaga.
However, Professor Cobra seemed to be prepared for this. Seeing that the impact of chaos magic was approaching his ace monster, he drew a card from his hand without thinking.
"Quick-Play Spell ‘Forbidden Dress'! Target 1 face-up monster on the field; until the end of this turn, that target loses 600 ATK, but cannot be targeted or destroyed by other card effects!"
At this time, the Snake King has been selected as the target of the Magician of Chaos' effect, thus the targeting resistance already became meaningless, but the destruction resistance was still effective.
[Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes, ATK 5500 → ATK 4900]
The temporary drop in attack power was replaced by strong damage resistance, and the impact of the chaos magic was immediately deflected by the energy barrier.
Magician of Chaos was not so lucky here. The attack failed, so the Snake King's counterattack came immediately. The viper's fangs bit his arm and thigh without any explanation. The magician groaned and his body exploded into golden powder.
[Yuei Vu, LP 4000→ LP 1600]
Professor Cobra then waved his hand.
"Set three cards, I end my turn."
