Chapter 287 Vector's Counterattack and Decisive Strike (Combined Chapter)
Chaos No. 104: Masked Demon Dancer. Shadow, Rank 5, Dark Attribute, Mage Race, Attack Power 3000
Xyz Monster
[Excess Material: 1]
The dancer, who originally possessed an eerie and holy aura, has completely fallen into darkness, exuding an unsettling and eerie presence.
A Varian cross symbol encircled the monster; it was an over-material, and its presence next to [Masked Demon Dancer: Shadow] added an unsettling touch.
This is also the only monster among all the Super 100 numbers whose original form and Chaos form are not of the same attribute, symbolizing Vector's two-faced personality and its dark inner self that tears away its disguise.
Kagura clicked her tongue. This is a bit tricky. If she remembered correctly, Chaos Number 104 also had the ability to nullify monster effects.
When this card has [Number 104: Masked Demon Dancer - Flash] as an Xyz Material, once per turn, when a monster effect your opponent controls is activated, remove 1 Xyz Material and negate that activation.
After that, you can randomly select one card from your opponent's hand and send it to the graveyard, reducing their life points to half.
This means that even if someone wanted to cheat Kang, they would have to pay a considerable price.
Vector raised his head and let out a triumphant laugh. "I've brought out my ace, what can you do to me now!"
He raised his right hand, his five sharp fingers clenched tightly, as if to tear Kagura apart: "[Shadow] effect! When this card is Special Summoned, destroy 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field!"
I choose...
'
Vector looked at Kagura's two face-down cards and instinctively chose one: "I choose the card in the very center of your field!"
【Masked Demon Dancer. Shadow】Twisted her body, swung her strange staff, and smashed it heavily against one of the face-down cards, turning it into powder. The fierce wind generated by her high-speed movement blew up Kagura's trench coat, which slapped heavily against her body.
Although the wind made it hard to open his eyes, and he raised his arm to shield them, a strange smile appeared on his lips.
"You've fallen for their trap!"
Kagura's lips curled into a strange smile, and to Bey's astonished and uncertain gaze, the card that Kagura had just destroyed reappeared on the field.
"The card you just destroyed was a trap card called 'Troublemaker'!"
Vector's expression instantly turned strange. Kagura, understanding, asked with a grin, "Looks like you know about this card."
"That's right. The effect of this card is that if a monster leaves the field while it is Set and is sent to the Graveyard or banished by an opponent's card effect, you can Special Summon 1 monster from your Deck or Extra Deck."
This card is quite famous in the history of Yu-Gi-Oh!, contributing to iconic moments such as "If I don't play Feather Duster, how will I know that my opponent has set three Grass-Beat cards?"
That is, Vector's current mindset: [Damn, I think I blew something dirty].
Kagura slowly selected from her large collection of extra items, and finally had a flash of inspiration, coming up with a rather torturous and strange thing.
"I Special Summon [Marvel Hero: King Arthur] from my Extra Deck!"
A five-meter-tall giant knight appeared, holding a greatsword high in his hand and wearing metal armor.
The hero in the comic wears a golden breastplate and looks quite imposing, but because it's not a regular summon, there aren't any Xyz materials.
[Comic Book Hero. King Arthur, Rank 4, Earth Attribute, Warrior Type, Attack Power 2400, Xyz Monster.]
[Excess Material: 0]
Bekuta was also dumbfounded.
He recognized the monster, of course, because he was the one who gave out the card not long ago.
Isn't this the trashy Xyz Monster he gave to that Fusion Army squad leader, Zal? I remember the effect was something like this: when destroyed in battle, you can use one material to replace it, increasing attack power by 500 and dealing 500 damage to the opponent.
The effect of using Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace platform) is useful but not significant. Even so, without excess materials, this monster is just a blank slate with an attack power of 2400, not much different from the Red-Eyes Black Dragon.
But there are a lot of overpowered items in this Duelist King deck, so why would they choose to use such a worthless card?
But soon, Vector understood Kagura's intention.
Kagura gave a mysterious smile, and another face-down card at her feet opened: "I activate the Trap Card, [Grave Robber] (Original Effect)!"
God of Gamblers, lend me your power!
Kagura casually picked this up from the Doma base. It weighs several kilograms. The main reason is that the card is too cheap. It's the kind of cheap stuff that even a primary school student could buy with their pocket money. It's usually thrown in the trash.
However, although the locals usually just throw it away without even glancing at it, Kagura felt that this card was greatly underestimated.
"This card's effect!" Kagura held out her palm: "Select one Spell or Trap Card from your opponent's Graveyard and activate its effect immediately!"
"What I've chosen is the [Advanced Magic - Balian Power] from the graveyard!"
"What?!"
Before Vector could react, a grinning, sly little man emerged from the unfolded card, chuckled, and pulled a card from his graveyard, taking it back with him.
"Then I'll activate this card's effect immediately!"
Kagura raised a finger: "Raise one of my Xyz Monsters to Rank 1 and change it to Chaos Xyz state. I choose [Marvel Hero: King Arthur] from my field!"
Vector's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "It actually leveled up during my turn!?"
"I'll use Monster-in-One as Xyz Material!"
The giant knight on the Kagura stage transformed into a brownish-brown ball of light and plunged into a dazzling network of superimposed light.
"A monster reconstructs the superimposed light network! Chaos transforms!"
"Descend, Rank 5! Wield your blade to avenge your former master! [Chaos Xyz: Marvel Comics Heroes - Legendary Arthur]!"
A majestic dark knight, carrying two castles on his back, standing twenty meters tall, and wielding a chillingly sharp longsword, descended from the superimposed network of light.
[Chaos Xyz: Marvel's Legendary Arthur, Rank 5, Earth, Warrior, ATK 3000, Xyz Monster.]
[Excess Material: 1]
"Attack power 3000 —————— Wait ——————"
Vector's expression changed drastically: "Could it be that your goal is the aftereffects of [Varia Power]!?"
"That's it, could it be!"
Kagura shouted, "The follow-up effect of [Rank-Up Spell - Valiant Power]! Special Summon this card!"
After successfully casting "Chaos Number" or "Chaos Xyz", steal all Xyz Materials from one Xyz Monster on your opponent's field! (Original effect)
Kagura pointed at the [Shadow] on Vector's field: "I've taken all of your [Chaos No. 104: Masked Demon Dancer.Shadow]'s Xyz Material!"
A Variant-level Overcharge Material next to the magic dancer who had completely fallen into darkness immediately shifted its position and slowly floated to [Arthur]'s front.
[Chaos Xyz: Comic Book Heroes Legendary Arthur, Xyz Material: 1 → 2]
[Chaos No. 104: Masked Demon Dancer. Shadow, Xyz Material: 1→0]
"It's not over yet!"
Kagura bravely and righteously shouted: "Monsters whose Xyz Material has been stolen, their attack power decreases by the amount of Xyz Material stolen x300! (Original effect)"
【Chaos No. 104: Masked Demon Dancer. Shadow, Attack Power 3000 → Attack Power 2700】
Vector scratched his face violently, experiencing such a mental breakdown for the first time in his life.
No, even with his upgrade magic and his super-abundance of materials, the monsters whose attack power is reduced are still his!?
What the hell is this ultimate minotaur?!
At that moment, Vector felt a pang of sorrow and grief, as if the child belonged to his wife and the neighbor, and that he had raised it for many years.
And Kagura is that damned old Wang!
Did he steal an overload material? That was his trump card, his Chaos 104's original form!
As is well known, most Xyz Monsters in a Chaos state require the main body to be placed underneath them to activate their effects.
In other words, if there is only one copy of the main body, even if he puts two Xyz Materials under [Shadow] now, he will not be able to activate the effect.
Vector couldn't hold back and punched.
Damn it, now he only has a blank board with 3000 attack power left on the field.
No, not even 3000, because the attack power has been reduced.
"Alright, continue your turn."
Kagura smiled politely and gestured for them to proceed.
Bekuta: ————
He glanced at his hand, his expression shifting for a moment, then suddenly held up a card: "Spell Card, [Pot of Greed], draw two cards from your deck!"
Kagura: !?
Why didn't you open the pot earlier? Tell me, did you reprint it on the spot?
Holding the two newly acquired cards, he continued, "Next, activate the spell card, Angel's Charity. Draw three cards from your deck, then discard two!"
As he changed his hand, Vector suddenly had an idea: "I activate my Spell Card, [Shadow Refresh] (original card)!"
"Target 1 monster on the field with an ATK that is different from its original ATK! That monster's ATK is restored to its original value! You also gain Life Points equal to the change in ATK!"
"I choose my [Shadow] on the field: Attack power restored to normal, 300 health restored!"
【Chaos No. 104: Masked Demon Dancer. Shadow, Attack Power 2700 → Attack Power 3000】
[Vecuta, LP3100→LP3400]
Kagura raised an eyebrow. What a coincidence! Are you sure you didn't print the card on the spot?
Vector was caught in a dilemma. He began to recall, and finally remembered the monster effect of [Chaos Xyz: Marvel's Legendary Arthur].
It seems that one of the rules is that it can only be used once per round and cannot be interrupted by battle.
Although the numbered cards will not be destroyed by non-numbered battles, there is no difference in combat strength between the two sides, so there is no point in fighting.
After thinking it through, he immediately gave the order: "Enter battle phase!"
"【Masked Dancer: Shadow】! Attack 【Summoned Beast: Merkaba】!"
The swirling, fallen dancer raised her eerie wand, unleashing a bolt of purple lightning.
But unexpectedly, Kagura had a backup plan: "I activate the effect of [Aleister] in my hand! Send this card to the Graveyard, and increase the ATK of one Fusion Monster on the field by 1000!"
[Summoned Beast. Merkaba, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 3500]
The mechanical angels simultaneously raised their staffs to exchange beams, ultimately prevailing over the lightning bolts with superior skill.
[Vecuta, LP3400→LP2900]
He raised his hand to block the impact, gritting his teeth as he said, "However, numbered monsters cannot be destroyed by non-numbered monsters!"
Although combat resistance is the worst resistance, it is still very necessary.
Vector held up four cards in his hand: "I face down four cards, end of turn!"
Four cards appeared in Vector's back row, leaving Vector with an empty hand. Kagura raised an eyebrow.
It's quite troublesome; I don't even know what exactly was placed on the lid.
"My turn, draw a card!"
Kagura pulled out a card and glanced at it.
Great, another lucky draw.
Kagura inserts one of her two cards into the Duel Disk: "I set a card face down."
"Then activate the Spell Card, 'Life-Slaying Treasure Card' (original card), and draw cards from your deck until your hand is replenished to five cards!"
As Kagura drew her cards, she solemnly declared, "However, after five turns, I must bear the enormous cost of sending all my cards to the graveyard!"
Bekuta: ?
You're even more fake than him, and yet you're paying a huge price for it?
Kagura filled her hand with five cards, feeling relieved. She examined each card in her hand and confirmed her strategy.
"I activate my Spell Card! [Ground Shatter] Destroy 1 of your opponent's monsters with the highest DEF!"
High-end ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods, just like some monsters can be cleaned up with just one [Ground Shatter].
Vector: ——————
The legendary number 100 exploded with a bang, just like an ordinary roadside stall.
"Entering battle phase!"
Kagura immediately commanded: "[Summoned Beast. Merkaba], attack Bepik's Underpants directly!"
Vector's forehead bulged with gray veins in anger: "Call me Vector, not Vector Underpants!"
With a wave of his hand, a Trap Card at his feet opened: "Open a face-down card, a Trap Card! [Trick Destroyer] (Original Card), you can activate this when your opponent declares an attack if you have no monsters on your field!"
"Destroy all face-up attacking monsters on your opponent's field, and inflict damage to your opponent's LP equal to 300 times the number of monsters destroyed by this effect!"
It's only half a Holy Defense?
Kagura immediately drew a card from her hand and sent it to the graveyard: "Then I activate the effect of [Summoned Beast. Merkaba]: Once per turn, send any card of the same type activated by your opponent to the graveyard, negate that card, and banish it!"
"I send a Trap Card to the Graveyard, negate its effect, and banish it!"
The card was immediately banished to another world by the mechanical angel, but Vector's expression became even more ferocious: "Open the second face-down card, a Continuous Trap! [Pot of Damage] (Original Card)!"
"This can be activated when combat damage occurs. That combat damage becomes 0!"
The mechanical angel swung its longsword, but the damage was absorbed into the pot.
Vector continued loudly, "After that, when this card leaves the field, both players take the battle damage that was reduced to 0 when this card was activated!"
"That's 2500 points!"
Vector continued sternly, "Now activate the third face-down card! Quick-Play Spell Card [Extravagant]! Send any Spell/Trap Cards you control to the Graveyard, restoring 1000 Life Points equal to the number of Spell/Trap Cards you control!"
"I've sent [Jug of Damage] to the graveyard! Restores 1000 health!"
[Vecuta, LP2900→LP3900]
"Hahaha! Therefore! Both sides will suffer 2500 combat damage!"
【Kagura Kiryu, LP2400】
Lore!
