Chapter 1070: Ring Dragon
"My turn."
Ying Qi rose, his body trembling as he slowly reached for his Deck on the Duel Disk.
But before he drew, he hesitated.
Should I surrender?
Though he often tormented the criminals in the facility, deriving pleasure from their screams, he had never endured such treatment himself. After all this, he was reaching his limits, his mind on the brink of collapse.
More than once, he had considered giving up.
Surrender. If he quit, he wouldn’t have to suffer anymore, wouldn’t have to endure this torment.
But then he thought again.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. No, it must be the only chance I’ll ever get.
Besides, he was down to just 500 Life Points. Even if he lost, the opponent could probably only zap him one more time. With such a sliver of life left, one more hit would likely finish him off.
On the other hand, if he gave up now, wouldn’t all the suffering be for nothing?
Moreover, the opponent still had 3900 Life Points, barely scratched.
Ying Qi gritted his teeth.
If he surrendered today, given the vast difference in their positions, he would never dare to seek revenge for the electrocution. This Duel was his only chance.
"Draw!"
With this thought, Ying Qi’s fighting spirit was rekindled.
"Normal Summon the Tuner monster, Chain Coilman!"
[Chain Coilman, Attack: 1100]
"Tuner monster", You Xuan said. "Oh? Are you going all out now?"
"Exactly, I’m going to show you my full strength this turn!"
Ying Qi declared.
"Next, I activate the effect of Chain Mechanic!
Once per turn, I can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower Chain monster from my Graveyard, except Chain Mechanic!
Revive Chain Bindersnake from the Graveyard!"
The mechanic swung the chain in his hand, which disappeared into the ground and soon dragged the previously defeated Bindersnake back to the field.
[Chain Bindersnake, Attack: 800]
"Since Chain Mechanic has used this effect, it cannot attack this turn", Ying Qi said. "So, I’ll place Chain Mechanic in Defense Position."
[Chain Mechanic, Attack: 1600 → Defense: 1200]
The mechanic was protected by both "Soul Anchor" and "Metal Shell", making him immune to both battle damage and card effects. In Defense Position, he was a formidable barrier.
"Then, Level 3 Tuner monster, Chain Coilman!
Level 3 Chain Bindersnake!
Tuning!"
[3 + 3 = 6]
"Synchro Summon—
—Chain Ring Dragon!"
A halo of light enveloped the field, and from the burst of light emerged a heavy, metallic chain. The chain slammed onto the ground, sparks flying, and a massive dragon wrapped in chains emerged from the light!
[Chain Ring Dragon, Attack: 2500]
"Wow", You Xuan said. "So this is the ace of the Chain deck?"
"Exactly, and Chain Ring Dragon’s Attack Power increases by 200 points for each Chain monster in my Graveyard!" (Original effect)
In the real card, the effect requires excluding all Chain monsters from the Graveyard, increasing Attack Power by 200 points per monster, but only until the end of the turn, significantly weakening it.
Ying Qi said, "Now that I have two Chain Bindersnakes and a Chain Coilman in my Graveyard, my Attack Power increases by 400!"
[Chain Ring Dragon, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 2900]
Ying Qi continued, "Next, I activate the Continuous Magic, Paralyzing Chain!
As long as this card is on the field, every time a card effect sends a card from your Deck to the Graveyard, you take 300 points of damage!"
Then, it's time for battle! "Chain Ring Dragon, attack the Seven Sword Warrior!"
The Ring Dragon's breath shattered the warrior's armor. The Seven Sword Warrior struggled to resist for a moment, but ultimately, its strength was not enough. It quickly burst into pieces under the Ring Dragon's breath.
[You Xuan, LP 3900 → LP 3300]
Ying Qi looked at the commander with anticipation, eager to see the commander's composure shatter. However, the commander only smiled and gently closed his eyes, allowing the current to pass through him with little reaction.
Ying Qi was taken aback.
Is the commander impervious to pain? Is he some kind of monster?
No, the damage must not be enough.
"At this moment, the effect of Chain Ring Dragon!" Ying Qi continued, "When this monster destroys an opponent's monster in battle, based on the level of the destroyed monster, send a number of cards from the top of your opponent's Deck to the Graveyard equal to that level!
The Seven Sword Warrior is Level 7, so I'll send seven more cards to the Graveyard!"
Seven more cards flew from the top of You Xuan's Deck, cascading into the Graveyard.
"At this moment, the effect of the Continuous Magic, Paralyzing Chain!" Ying Qi said, "Since cards were sent from the Deck to the Graveyard, you take 300 points of damage!"
[You Xuan, LP 3300 → LP 3000]
You Xuan gently closed his eyes, still showing no reaction.
"This guy..." Ying Qi swallowed hard.
Does he really feel nothing?
"Is that all?"
You Xuan opened his eyes and smiled.
"End Phase."
"Alright, then it's my turn."
You Xuan said.
"My turn, Draw."
During the Preparation Phase, the effect of the Magic Card, Take Over 5, in my Graveyard. I banish this card and a card with the same name from my Deck, and I draw one card.
You Xuan drew another card.
"Next, I Normal Summon Leaf Sprite."
A small green sprite appeared on the field, hands on its hips. Its entire body seemed to be made of leaves, even its head was a large leaf, swaying as if in a gentle breeze, looking as if it could be blown away at any moment.
[Leaf Sprite, Attack Power 900]
"Then, I activate the Continuous Trap, Dna Transformation, to change the race of all monsters on the field to the race I declare."
You Xuan snapped his fingers, and the back row flipped.
"I declare the Warrior race.
All monsters on the field will become Warriors."
Ying Qi was puzzled. "All become Warriors?"
"Yes", You Xuan smiled. "Next, I activate this card—
—Equip Magic, Divine Blade Phoenix Sword!
This card can only be equipped to a Warrior, increasing the equipped monster's Attack Power by 300. I'll equip this card to the Leaf Sprite, now a Warrior."
[Leaf Sprite, Attack Power 900 → Attack Power 1200]
Ying Qi was thoroughly confused.
Why go through all this trouble just to change the race? A mere 300 points of Attack Power—what's the point?
