“Brother, all of Yuei Vu’s attacks were blocked by that person!” Mokuba looked at his brother.
Kaiba folded his arms and snorted softly, “It’s just luck.”
Even though he said so, at this time Kaiba had indeed taken a new look at the two people from Department D. The strength of the deck and the duelist’s personal qualities seemed to be impeccable.
These two people were indeed strong in the true sense.
…Of course, even so, he didn’t think Yuei ↑ Vu ↓ would lose in this kind of place!
“My turn, draw.” Ueno said, “At this moment, the side effect of ‘Firewall’ is activated. I have to pay 500 LP in each Standby Phase to maintain its existence.”
The perpetual defense did not come without cost. A looming flame enveloped Ueno’s body, and another 500 points were deducted from his health. The enhanced touch undoubtedly brought him a burning pain, but he endured it with his eyes closed, without even moving his eyebrows.
【Ueno, LP 3000 → LP 2500】
“Next, I activate the effect of ‘Volcanic Wall’ again!” Ueno said, “Send the top 3 cards of my Deck to the Graveyard to inflict 500 damage to the opponent for each Pyro-Type monster sent to the Graveyard this way!”
Ueno pulled out three cards in one breath, glanced at them, and turned them over immediately.“Among the three cards I sent to GY, there are a ‘Volcanic Blaster’ and a ‘Volcanic Rocket’.” He said, “The total damage is 1,000 points!”
Flames erupted on the Spell Card, and the phantoms of two Volcanic monsters appeared, one in front and the other in the back turned into two shells and blasted towards Yuei Vu.
If Yuei Vu, who only had 1500 HP left, ate this shot, his HP would be reduced to only 500 in an instant. One more hit and he would lose directly!
However, Yuei Vu had a countermeasure: “Open the set card: Trap Card – Energy-Absorbing Monolith! When an opponent’s card effect that would inflict damage to me, that damage is negated and I gain Life Points equal to the amount I would have taken!”
Basically, it was an effect damage version of “Draining Shield”.
A black stone slab stood up and lay in front of Yuei Vu. The flames roared and bombarded the stone slab, violently impacted away, and burst out from the other side into rainbow-colored brilliance, shining on Yuei Vu’s body and absorbing it as nutrients.
【Yuei Vu, LP 1500→LP 2500】
“Beautiful!” Mokuba shouted from the side, “Not only did he avoid the damage, but he also regained his LP!”
LP was still very valuable against effect damage decks. Yuei Vu’s recovery here was also quite uncomfortable for the opponent.
Even Ueno frowned slightly. But he didn’t say much, just continued: “Spell Card – Card of Sanctity. Each player draws until they have 6 cards in their hand.”
Yuei Vu didn’t say a word and followed him to draw cards.
“Activate Continuous Spell – Blaze Accelerator!”
Flames swept across the ground, and a pillar of fire erupted, and what emerged from it was a cannon with a full sense of technology, fixed on the ground with a black metal tripod.
“Then I send the ‘Blaze Accelerator’ to the GY!” Ueno continued, “Activate Continuous Spell – Tri-Blaze Accelerator!”
Another ball of flames swept across, and the black cannon disappeared from the field, replaced by a silver-white three-barreled heavy cannon domineeringly, and the barrels shone brightly under the lights on the ceiling.
Yuei Vu frowned.
Here comes another troublesome thing…
“The effect of the Tri-Blaze Accelerator is activated!” Ueno said, “Send 1 Pyro monster from my hand to the GY, destroy a monster on the opponent’s field, and deal 500 points of damage to the opponent!
I sent ‘Volcanic Shell’ to the GY and reloaded the ammunition! The target is the ‘Elemental HERO Gaia’, launch! ”
A tiny monster with a burning body emerged, and consciously got into the cannon’s magazine. Flames erupted from the barrel of the Blaze Accelerator, firing three salvos, roaring through the air, and hitting the “Elemental HERO Gaia” head-on.
The scorching high temperature melted the armor, piercing the huge body through it. The hero let out a miserable snort, his body was torn apart, engulfed by the erupting fireball, and blown to pieces.
【Yuei Vu, LP 2500 → LP 2000】
“The effect of ‘Volcanic Shell’ is activated!” Ueno continued, “When this card is in the GY, once per turn, I can pay 500 LP; add 1 ‘Volcanic Shell’ from my Deck to my hand!”
【Ueno, LP 2500 → LP 2000】
A mass of flames enveloped his body again and burned him violently. At the same time, he pulled out the deck and found the second Volcanic Shell.
The effect of the Tri-Blaze Accelerator was not limited to once per turn, so he would naturally continue to fire as long as he has ammunition in his hand.
"
"
“Tri-Blaze Accelerator’s effect!” Ueno said, “I send the second ‘Volcanic Shell’ in the hand to the graveyard, and reloaded the ammunition! The target is ‘Elemental HERO Stratos’, launch!”
The second shell left a dazzling burning trail in the air, blasting straight forward with an indomitable momentum.
Despite having a powerful effect, Stratos was not a hero who was good at combat after all, and with only 300 DEF, defense was not his strong point for him.
With just one shot, Stratos exploded and disappeared as an afterimage in the flames.
【Yuei Vu, LP 2000 → LP 1500】
Fortunately, he used the “Energy-Absorbing Monolith” to recover LP before. In this round, Ueno blasted him with 2000 points of effect damage. If he hadn’t recovered his LP, he would be belching right now.
…Having said that, the impact of the image with the enhancing sense of touch did hurt a bit. Continuously bombarded by the effects of fire attributes, Yuei Vu felt his whole body was burning right now, and there was a lingering burning sensation on his skin.
But in this way, Ueno’s attack in this round seemed to be temporarily over.
When the smoke dissipated, Ueno couldn’t help but frown slightly when he saw Yuei Vu who was still standing opposite him. After thinking about something, he continued to take out two cards.
“Set two cards, I end my turn.”
Volcanic Wall, Firewall, Tri-Blaze Accelerator, plus two set cards have completely filled Ueno’s back row.
In contrast, his front field was empty without even a single monster.
In the turn that the effect of the Volcanic Wall was activated, the player could not declare an attack. The turn that the Tri-Blaze Accelerator effect was applied also has the side effect of being unable to attack.
So he didn’t even summon monsters at all and concentrated all his resources on burning LP by using effect damage.
Yuei Vu’s LP value returned to 1500 again. In normal times, it’s even a bit far from blood lock. But facing the Volcanic deck, it was not so abundant.
Yuei Vu had no doubts that it only took one more turn at most, and the opponent would be able to wipe out his remaining 1500 LP.
This meant that he had to figure out a way to win in this turn.
“My turn… draw!”
