Using the “Fake Trap” to confuse opponents was impossible in Yuei Vu’s previous life when he did not have stereoscopic projection technology in real card games.
The effect of Fake Trap was that when the trap card on the field was destroyed, it could be destroyed instead, but the trap that would originally be destroyed on that occasion must be opened for confirmation.
If two players were sitting at the table playing cards in a serious manner, it was certainly impossible that “the destroyed trap is replaced” happened and the opponent did not notice.
But in World Link Online, all effect processing was done by the Duel Disk’s system, including “open and confirm the trap that was to be destroyed”, and the stereoscopic image system would show that this “Fake Trap” would change to match the appearance of the “Mirror Force” that was supposed to be destroyed.
In fact, compared to playing cards in reality, this was closer to the meaning of the name “Fake Trap”.
There were actually many similar differences in the anime. After all, both sides dueled through stereo images, and all effect processing was handed over to the Duel Disk’s system, which was quite different from playing cards in reality.
Sometimes the duelist even lost his mind, moved a little slower, or was disturbed by the projection effect of the stereoscopic image, and may miss the timing of a certain card activation, which could even directly lead to the defeat of a duel.
It was also because of this that duelists in this world need to have the courage to make decisions in a short moment, and the ability to think quickly. The difficulty factor of duels was actually higher.
But no matter what, now the Mirror Force has been successfully activated!
“This card can be activated only when the opponent declares an attack. Destroy all attack position monsters on the opponent’s field!”Eatos’ sword provoked a violent counterattack! The trap containing supreme power released its divine power, and the boundless blue glow seemed to erupt from the deepest part of the abyss!
The “Guardian Grarl” next to her was instantly crushed to powder by the power of the trap. Although Eatos hadn’t fallen down yet, she could not hold on any longer.
Rafael gritted his teeth: “Then the effect of ‘Guardian Shield’ is activated! When a ‘Guardian’ monster I control would be destroyed, the ‘Guardian Shield’ can be destroyed instead.
I let ‘Guardian’s Shield’ be destroyed in place of ‘Guardian Eatos’! ”
The shield immediately flew out of the Backup Gardna’s hand and moved automatically to block in front of Eatos. All the backlash from the Mirror Force fell on the shield, and the shield replaced the goddess and was blown to pieces.
“The battle continues!” Rafael said, “Guardian Eatos, continue to attack Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman!”
“Then open the set card: Trap Card – Intrigue Shield!” Yuei Vu shouted, “Target 1 face-up monster I control; equip this card to that target.
Once per turn, while the equipped monster is in Attack Position, it cannot be destroyed by battle. I take no battle damage from attacks involving it!
I equip the ‘Intrigue Shield’ to Shining Flare Wingman! ”
Countless golden light spots condensed into a shield and blocked the shining hero. The coercion of the holy sword fell on the shield, and it firmly withstood the blow of the female holy sword.
The majestic impact spread from the shield, causing dust to fly in space, and the gorgeous impact effects made it almost blinding.
“Even this has been prevented?” Rafael was a little surprised.
In this round, he eliminated the “Necro Gardna” in Yuei Vu’s GY, blew off the “Mirror Force” once (although it was prevented by “Fake Trap”), and stepped on the “Mirror Force” again. “…
…Yet the killing blow that was launched after that was still resolved by Yuei Vu without any risk.
It’s flawless.
Rafael was silent for a moment, and then drew another card from his hand: “In Main Phase 2, I activate the Spell Card ‘Monster Reborn’ to revive the ‘Guardian Grarl’ who was just destroyed and went to the GY.”
Sure enough, it should be said that he was worthy of being a tough guy who carried out his belief to the end. At this point, he still insisted on emptying the GY of monsters.
The lizard man Grarl, who was blown down by Mirror Force, quickly returned to the field, but he was out of breath, and it seemed that he was struggling to go back and forth between the underworld and the world of the living.
[Guardian Grarl, ATK 2500]
The real-life version of “Guardian Grarl” required “Gravity Axe – Grarl” on the field before it could be summoned, but this restriction obviously did not exist in the animation.
Otherwise, in the final battle between Rafael and Yugi, he would not be able to use the Spell card “Soul Charge” to Special Summon all the guardians in the graveyard back to the field.
“Set a card, I end my turn.” Rafael said, “At this moment, the effect of Guardian Eatos ends, and the attack power returns to its original state.”
[Guardian Eatos, ATK 10700 → ATK 2500]
It’s Yuei Vu’s turn again: “My turn, draw!”
All the heroes in the GY were removed from the game, so Shining Flare Wingman lost the support of his companions, and the powerful effect was useless.
Both Eatos and Grarl currently on the field had 2500 ATK, which was the same as that of Shining Flare Wingman.
But Yuei Vu’s advantage was that the Shining Flare Wingman was equipped with an “Intrigue Shield”, which could protect him from being destroyed by battle once per turn.
Moreover, Shining Flare Wingman could also inflict damage equal to the attack power of the destroying monster on the opponent. That is to say, no matter whether Eatos or Grarl was defeated, it could cause huge damage of 2500 points.
“Battle!” Yuei Vu directly declared to fight.
The first thing to defeat was naturally Eatos, who had a relatively more troublesome effect and was also Rafael’s ace monster.
“Shining Flare Wingman, attack Guardian Eatos!”
The flashing hero spread his high-tech wings and launched a dive from mid-air! The metal armor drew a brilliant trajectory in mid-air, as if an invisible engine spewed out from behind, like a cannonball shooting straight at Eatos on the opposite side!
“It’s not that easy! Quick-Play Spell – Self Tribute!” Rafael yelled, “This card can be activated only if 1 or more of my monsters would be destroyed. Pay 1000 Life Points, and monsters I control cannot be destroyed this turn!” (animation card)
【Rafael, LP 4000 → LP 3000】
The Shining Flare Wingman’s charge hit a wall again, but this defense was not without cost. While the power of the magic card protected the monster, it also brought a huge burden to the duelist, deducting 1000 LP as a fee.
“Sure enough, it’s a very Rafael-style approach.” Yami Yugi nodded, “To protect the monsters at the expense of himself, this is the duelist path he chose.”
It could be seen that the Pharaoh was quite optimistic about Rafael.
After all, it was the man who once beat him.
If he bragged about the other party, he would have more face (especially in front of AIBO)……
“Then set another card, and I end my turn.” Yuei Vu said.
