Chapter 1069: Darkness Yu-Gi Match
Chapter 1069: Darkness Yu-Gi Match
"The effect of Synchro Soul allows me to Special Summon a set of Tuner monsters from the Graveyard onto the field."
Youxuan snapped his fingers, and the two monsters he had previously used instantly returned to his field.
Ten-Handed Samurai, Attack Power 700
Sun Priest, Attack Power 1000
Yingxi's expression tightened. "This setup... Are you going to Synchro Summon again?"
"Level 2, Tuner monster 'Ten-Handed Samurai.'
Level 5, 'Sun Priest.'
Tune the stars!"
2 + 5 = 7
"Once again, I will cleave through all obstacles. Synchro Summon—
—Seven-Sword Warrior!"
The synchro light descended once more, and the sword's light slashed through the waterfall-like curtain of light. The warrior, clad in shining golden armor, appeared for the second time, holding two swords in his hands.
Seven-Sword Warrior, Attack Power 2300
"Again?" Yingxi was surprised. "Is this card the ace of the commander?"
"Next, I activate the Equip Magic 'Black Necklace' from my hand", Youxuan said. "Equip Black Necklace to Seven-Sword Warrior, raising its Attack Power by 500!"
A dark glow coalesced in the air, forming a necklace that circled twice before gently landing around Seven-Sword Warrior's neck. The black energy was immediately absorbed into the warrior's body, rapidly boosting his strength.
Seven-Sword Warrior, Attack Power 2300 → Attack Power 2800
"Equipped magic", Yingxi's face changed. "Right, this warrior's effect—"
"The effect of Seven-Sword Warrior is now activated!" Youxuan declared. "When Seven-Sword Warrior is equipped with an Equip Card, inflict 800 points of damage to the opponent."
Seven-Sword Warrior swung his sword, and a black blade of energy swept past Yingxi. The Duel Disk's electric shock system activated again, and Yingxi let out a pig-like scream.
Yingxi, LP 2500 → LP 1700
After another series of electric shocks, Yingxi was nearly paralyzed, stumbling and almost falling over.
"Commander? Commander?"
Youxuan called out twice, and Yingxi finally came to his senses.
"Are you alright?"
Yingxi hurriedly replied, "I'm fine, I'm fine! Just this much—"
"Is that so, you're fine? That's great", Youxuan smiled. "Then I can continue.
Next, I activate the second effect of 'Seven-Sword Warrior.'
Once per turn, I can send one Equip Card equipped to this card to the Graveyard. When this card sends an Equip Card to the Graveyard, I can choose and destroy one face-up monster on the opponent's field."
Youxuan pointed to the only mechanic on Yingxi's field.
"I send the Equip Magic 'Black Necklace' to the Graveyard, destroying 'Chain Mechanic.'"
The Black Necklace vanished from Seven-Sword Warrior's neck, and the warrior swung his sword. The necklace seemed to merge with the blade, slicing directly toward the plump mechanic.
Yingxi responded, "I activate the Trap Card 'Metal Shell'!
This card equips to a monster on my field, protecting it from being destroyed by card effects."
A layer of armor appeared on the mechanic's round belly, blocking the warrior's sword.
"Oh, you managed to defend. Not bad", Youxuan said. "But, the effect of 'Black Necklace' activates at this moment."
The Equip Spell 'Black Necklace' inflicts 500 points of damage to the opponent when it is sent from the field to the Graveyard.
"!"
More?
The Black Necklace, which had vanished, reappeared directly above Yingxi. Yingxi looked up, his face pale with terror, his body trembling as he gazed at the necklace that seemed like a harbinger of death.
No, please, no more.
"Aaaahhh—"
The necklace released a black current, striking down like a bolt of lightning. Yingxi convulsed violently from the electric shock, his screams echoing through the spacious atrium.
Most of the prisoners had only ever seen such a scene in their nightmares—this warden, who had tormented them so cruelly, would one day suffer the same fate, right before their eyes. Almost everyone present couldn't help but share a single thought—
—How satisfying!
[Yingxi, LP 1700 → LP 1200]
Yingxi panted, his face pale.
"Damn..."
The damage wasn't high, but the continuous 500 to 800 points of damage were as irritating as being stung by bees one after another. Especially with the electrocution system he had installed himself.
If it were 2000 to 3000 points of damage per hit, the Duel would have ended after just a couple of strikes, and he wouldn't have to endure so much suffering. But now, it felt like a slow, agonizing torture, making him wish he were dead.
This might be why the dark personality of Malik, the Dark Duelist, favored the Life Burn Strategy in the early days. Life Burn and Darkness Duel were indeed a perfect match. Often, you didn't need to deplete the opponent's Life Points completely; just a few burns could destroy their will to fight.
"It's not over yet. Surely the warden can handle more than this?"
Youxuan chuckled.
"Battle Phase.
Attack with 'Seven-Sword Warrior' against 'Chain Mechanic'!"
Of course, with the Black Necklace sent to the Graveyard, the Seven-Sword Warrior's Attack Power had returned to normal.
[Seven-Sword Warrior, Attack Power 2300]
The Seven-Sword Warrior rushed forward, his dual swords slicing through the air, aiming for the Chain Mechanic's head and chest. The Chain Mechanic frantically swung his hammer in defense, but the difference in stats was too great. His sluggish movements couldn't even begin to interfere with the Seven-Sword Warrior. The Seven-Sword Warrior easily deflected the hammer and thrust his sword straight into the Chain Mechanic's chest.
"But the Chain Mechanic is equipped with 'Soul Anchor'!" Yingxi exclaimed. "A monster equipped with Soul Anchor cannot be destroyed by battle!"
Soul Anchor and Metal Shell, two Traps, granted the monster resistance to battle and effect destruction, respectively.
"But still", Youxuan said, "the battle damage must be calculated."
[Yingxi, LP 1200 → LP 500]
The sword's energy surged, followed by another series of agonized screams. Yingxi's muscles began to twitch, and it took him a long time to stand up again.
"Set two cards, my turn ends", Youxuan reminded him calmly. "Your move."
"Uh..."
Yingxi was drenched in sweat, his vision starting to blur.
When he had the electrocution system installed, he specifically requested that the intensity be set to a non-lethal level. He didn't want to cause fatalities in his facility, as that would bring unnecessary trouble.
But he also insisted that the system must be intense enough to ensure that the prisoners felt the full force of the electrocution, otherwise it would lose its purpose.
He probably never imagined that one day, this system would be used against him.
