Chapter 1035: As A Warrior |
There was no way to avoid it. The magic power of the High Priestess of Prophecy rushed straight to Yubel's face!
At the critical moment, Yubel gritted her teeth and opened another set card: "Trap Card ‘Offensive Guard'! When the opponent declares a direct attack, the opponent's monster's attack power is halved only at the moment of damage calculation!" (Animation card)
[High Priestess of Prophecy, ATK 3500 → ATK 1750]
Under the extremely violent magic bombardment, Yubel's wings were intertwined, like a solid shield to protect her body, but she was still suddenly overturned by the burst of airwaves, and the flames of the explosion engulfed her whole body, and black smoke rushed to the sky.
When the smoke dissipated, Yubel half-knelt on the ground with difficulty, looking embarrassed.
That was the mental shock that only the top dark duelists could cause, and it felt like the body was pierced sharply. But after the severe pain, she felt numb instead, and half of her body lost consciousness.
[Yubel, LP 2400 → LP 650]
"Wow? You managed to hold on?"
La Mort shook his head.
You have no chance of winning."
Yubel tried to stand up but seemed a little exhausted. She tried twice and failed.
"……The subsequent effect of ‘Offensive Guard'." She tried to hold her breath, "I draw a card."
The field area on the side of La Mort's duel disk popped up, and the Field Spell that was blown back to the hand last round was included again.
"The Field Spell ‘The Grand Spellbook Tower' is activated again."
He paused for a moment as the scene changed and the building was completed, and then continued to add.
"This is the eighth one."
He then waved his hand gently.
"Set two cards, I end my turn… Then at this moment, the effect of the forbidden spell ‘Spellbook of Judgment' is also activated!"
The holy flash appeared again, and the dazzling light shone across the sky, like a judgment from God!
Yubel had to block the light source with half of his wings: "That light is…"
"This turn, I activated seven Spell Cards… plus your ‘Forbidden Dress', a total of eight cards.
Therefore, I can add up to eight ‘Spellbooks' to my hand."
The deck was shuffled, and cards popped out one after another accurately from the deck. La Mort raised his hand and pulled out all the cards in his hand, showing them to Yubel.
"According to this effect, I put ‘Spellbook of Knowledge', ‘Spellbook of Secrets', ‘Spellbook of the Master', ‘Spellbook of Eternity', ‘Spellbook of Power', ‘Spellbook of Wisdom', ‘Spellbook of Fate', ‘Spellbook of Life'……
…… all into my hand!"
In the raging magic storm, eight spellbooks popped out like flowing water, and the scene was particularly spectacular.
"Of course, at the end of the turn, the part of the hand that exceeds six cards must be discarded." He shrugged indifferently.
Although he could only hold six cards in his hand at the end of turn, he still searched for eight cards according to the maximum value.
Maybe it was to accumulate more spellbook resources in the GY as ammunition for "High Priestess of Prophecy" and "Spellbook of Fate"… or simply because it looked more magnificent and spectacular, and could bring more psychological impact to the opponent.
After a brief pause, La Mort continued in a stern voice, "But ‘Spellbook of Judgment' has a subsequent effect!
Special Summon from my Deck 1 Spellcaster monster whose Level is less than or equal to the number of cards added to my hand by this effect!"
Yubel's face changed again.
There is actually the ability to summon any monster from the deck…
Is this Spell Card really printed by a god?
"This turn, I added eight cards to my hand." La Mort said, "Therefore, I can special summon 1 Spellcaster monster Level 8 or lower.
The one I want to summon based on this effect is myself——
——Reaper of Prophecy!!!"
The magician was summoned, and a beam of black energy shot out from the deck, transforming into a black-robed wizard holding a sickle and landing lightly. His appearance was exactly the same as La Mort except for the part wearing a duel disk.
[Reaper of Prophecy, ATK 2000]
"Reaper of Prophecy's effect – When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: I can activate this effect; apply as many effects as possible, based on the number of ‘Spellbook' Spell Cards with different names in my Graveyard.
When there are three or more types of ‘Spellbooks' in the graveyard, the attack power increases by 600."
[Reaper of Prophecy, ATK 2000 → ATK 2600]
"When there are four or more types of ‘Spellbooks' in the graveyard, add 1 ‘Spellbook' Spell Card from my deck to the hand… Of course, this effect doesn't matter."
Anyway, La Mort now had all the Spellbooks in his hand, so this retrieval effect could be ignored.
"When there are five or more types of ‘Spellbooks' in the graveyard, Special Summon 1 Level 5 or higher DARK Spellcaster-Type monster from my Deck."
La Mort pointed a hand to the sky.
"Come on! Wheel of Prophecy!!!"
The wild magic warrior landed on the field, with a bright red cape fluttering behind him, looking like a golden lion.
[Wheel of Prophecy, ATK 2700]
"Effect of Wheel of Prophecy!" La Mort continued, "When this card is Special Summoned by the effect of a Spellcaster-Type monster: I can target any number of your banished ‘Spellbook' Spell Cards; shuffle them into the Deck.
The remaining ‘Spellbook' Spell Cards in the banished zone are returned to the Graveyard."
La Mort showed three Spellbooks in one go.
"Now the Spellbooks I have removed from the game are ‘Spellbook of the Master', ‘Spellbook of Power', and ‘Spellbook of Knowledge'. I return them all to the deck."
The three cards were inserted back into the deck, and the deck was automatically shuffled in the slots of the Duel Disk.
"Now my turn is completely over." La Mort finally put down the duel disk, "Okay, it's your turn. Of course, I personally suggest that you give up now.
There is actually no point in continuing to fight, it's nothing more than suffering."
"Shut up!" Yubel said impatiently.
At this moment, she was still half-kneeling on the ground, and after failing twice in a row, she staggered and climbed up with difficulty.
La Mort looked at her silently.
"Why?" He was silent for a moment, and said, "We are not enemies. I came here to help the great king, and our mission should be the same."
"I said shut up!"
Yubel scolded angrily.
She finally stood up – her knees weakened during the process, but she finally stood up straight.
"What do you understand?" She said stubbornly, "You don't understand the current king at all!"
La Mort raised his eyebrows: "Do you mean that only you understand?"
"……"
Yubel didn't say anything.
But what's there to say?
Since the time when Judai was still an idiot in duels, she has been watching him.
In this life, she watched Judai grow up little by little. They were inseparable and lived together, and had long become a part of each other.
When she closed her eyes, she could see Judai's appearance. When she was quiet, her ears would always echo with his hearty and happy laughter.
"……No one understands him better than me."
She swore to fight for him.
No matter who the opponent was or how powerful he was.
La Mort said that she had long forgotten what a warrior should be like, and he was wrong.
As a warrior, sometimes even when facing an impossible opponent, you have to go.
Yubel opened her eyes again.
La Mort noticed that the pair of heterochromatic pupils were burning with cold and empty flames.
"It's my turn!"
