"The effect of Doble Passe!" Yuei Vu said, "Eat the attack power of Gladiator Beast Andal, which means 1900 points of damage!"
Priest Seto looked at the black bear that crossed layers of defenses and rushed towards him aggressively, and his face couldn't help but change for a moment.
Perfect defense and fatal counterattack… How can it be possible to do this with just one trap?
The activation of monster effects, the switching of offense and defense of spells and traps, these complicated things were not understood by the Egyptian soldiers watching. But what they could see clearly was that the armored black bear was galloping straight toward their priest, intending to smash him flat!
One could also imagine that such a heavy paw falling on the face would definitely not be a good outcome.
"Lord Seto!"
"It's not that easy." Seto raised his Millennium Rod and pointed at the opponent, "At this moment, I want to release this spell immediately – Spell of Pain! Reflect the damage I have received!"
Spell of Pain (Quick-Play Spell): When your opponent activates a card or effect that would inflict effect damage to you: Your opponent takes the effect damage from that card or effect, instead.
Yuei Vu speculated that the performance of this "Quick-Play Spell" may be that it could be released and take effect in time. Since Seto neither recited a spell nor formed a spell, this may be an "instant spell".
The magic power of the stone slab quickly formed a complex defensive circle, and Andal's impact was absorbed by the circle.The corner of Priest Seto's mouth hooked, and the Millennium Rod was held forward: "Eat the rebound of the spell, fall into your own trap and lose!"
A magic circle with the same pattern opened not far in front of Yuei Vu, and the shock wave formed the shape of a fist and exploded toward him!
"Oh, Lord Seto is indeed a priest!" Another Egyptian soldier was excited, "There is no weak spot in his tactics!"
The rebound damage was 1900, and Yuei Vu only had 1400 LP left. This blow might also directly determine the outcome!
Seto narrowed his eyes and glanced at Yuei Vu's field.
There are no spells set, and servants on the field do not have the ability to counter magic damage.
Although he is an admirable strongman, this victory… belongs to me, Priest Seto!
Thinking of this, Seto couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in defeating a powerful enemy, and even wanted to have a series of three-stage laughter in advance…
But Yuei Vu's move was not over yet!
"The effect of the ‘Hanewata' in the hand is activated."
Yuei Vu stuffed a card into the Duel Disk's grave area, and a cute little cotton ball with white wings suddenly appeared in front of him.
"By discarding this card; I take no effect damage this turn. And this effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn."
Andal's rebounded fist hit this little fellow and was completely nullified as if it hit a literally cotton ball.
Seto's eyelids twitched, felt a little startled.
Even my spell rebound has been blocked?
Why is this man's line of defense so strong?
"It's not over yet." Yuei Vu twitched his mouth and smiled, "The trap card ‘Doble Passe' has more follow-up effects. The monster selected as the attack target this turn—that is, ‘Gladiator Beast Andal' – can attack the opponent directly during my next turn!"
Seto: "!!?"
Andal waved his bear paw and let out a growl of "Roar", as if in a demonstration.
[Gladiator Beast Andal, ATK 1900]
【Seto, LP 1600】
If he was attacked directly, the next round would be his defeat!
The situation reversed again!
Sweat began to roll down Seto's forehead.
Is there actually a strong man with such strength in other places?
Seto was born as a commoner, and he climbed to the position of a priest by relying on his own strength and passing through various trials. Even among the seven priests around the Pharaoh, he was the most powerful one.
In his memory, he has never been involved in such a fierce battle since he became a priest. All his offensive methods were easily resolved by the opponent, and at the same time, the opponent could counterattack with various tricky methods…
Yuei Vu's performance was still not over: "Noxious' effect – At the end of the Battle Phase, if this card battled: You can shuffle it into the Deck; Special Summon 1 ‘Gladiator Beast' monster from your Deck, except ‘Gladiator Beast Noxious'.
Come on, Gladiator Beast Murmillo! "
The double-helix water burst out, and the fish gladiator appeared on the field with two water cannons on its back.
[Gladiator Beast Murmillo, ATK 800]
"The effect of Murmillo – When this card is Special Summoned by the effect of a ‘Gladiator Beast' monster: Target 1 face-up monster; destroy that target." Yuei Vu said, "Destroy the ‘Thunder Dragonduo'!"
The two water cannons on Murmillo's back were activated at the same time, like two water dragons twisting and rushing out, blowing Seto's invincible Thunder Dragonduo to pieces with one blow!
Seto raised his arm to block the scattered water in front of him, raised his eyes to look at the fish Gladiator Beast, and suddenly thought of something.
When he attacked Vespasius with Thunder Dragonduo just now, Yuei Vu did not activate the trap but only activated it when he attacked with the Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon.
"Gladiator Beast Noxious" had only one chance to not be destroyed by battle, and the ability of "Special Summon 1 ‘Gladiator Beast' monster from the deck" must be activated after the battle. If he used Doble Passe to save Vespasius, then he would be unable to use the effect of Murmillo to destroy Seto's ace monster "Thunder Dragonduo".
In other words…the opponent even considered the possibility that I'm able to counter "Doble Passe", and even calculated a further offensive strategy?
Seto was even more surprised.
Such a powerful strength, if placed in their country, would be at the level of a priest… No, even most of current priests may not be able to rival this guy!
After a brief silence, Seto waved his hand, and laid down two stone slabs in front of him, ending his round.
He glanced at the two stone slabs set in front of him and narrowed his eyes.
These two traps were the perfect line of defense he set up. The magic recorded in them belonged to the highest-level traps in the palace. He only had the opportunity to learn them after he was promoted to priest and came into contact with the advanced spells in the royal library.
Such a line of defense could be called an impregnable wall, and he still had a relatively powerful "Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon" on the field, so he should be able to deal with the next round no matter what.
The next time you make a move yourself, the winner will be decided!
"It's my turn, draw." Yuei Vu directly revealed the magic card, "Spell Card – Spider Web! Select 1 card in the opponent's Graveyard that was sent there the previous turn, and add it to my hand." (Animation card)
The white silk thread flew into the black vortex that opened on the ground and quickly pulled out a heavy golden stone slab from it.
The moment he saw the stone slab, there was a black line on Yuei Vu's face for a moment – after all, although his future Duel Disk was powerful in technology, it could only read cards after all and cannot use the slab.
Fortunately, this "sacred battle ceremony" was smarter than he thought. The slab flew in front of Yuei Vu, and when he reached out to touch it, it turned into a card and came into his hand.
Huh~ Fortunately, it works. If it really can't be activated with a stone slab here, it will be a bit painful…
But at this time, Seto was even more astonished.
What kind of spell is this?
With just one touch, the slab can be turned into a small piece of paper?!
Yuei Vu didn't know Seto's thoughts, otherwise, maybe he would make some jokes.
According to legend, in ancient times, there was a certain Dou King named Xiao Yan who could turn Dou Qi into a horse. Today, I, the Duel King named Yuei Vu, could turn a stone slab into a card without any problem… (1)
TL's note:
1. This is based on a mocking meme about the live-action adaption of "Battle Through the Heavens".
Originally in the novel, when a cultivator reaches the Dou King realm, they can turn Dou Qi into wings to fly. However, in the live-action, producers changed it into a horse to make it easier to film. This change received many negative reactions from fans of the novel.
