Chapter 1087: Phoenix Lycoris
Chapter 1087: Phoenix Lycoris
"The effect of Rainbow of Life means my Life Points are at 4100 even after taking damage."
Youxuan spoke slowly, then revealed the card he had just discarded to the Graveyard.
"Furthermore, the card I discarded from my hand was the Magic Card, 'Compensatory Treasure Card.'
When this card is discarded from the hand, I can draw two cards from my Deck."
Autumn bit her lip, her body trembling slightly, though it was hard to tell whether from anger or frustration.
"What's wrong? Is Witch's Wrath only this strong?"
Youxuan tilted his head.
"It seems your determination to seek revenge isn't very strong. Dewain would be very angry about this."
"Shut up! Shut up!"
Shizukana's anger flared, her disheveled hair fluttering in the wind from the burst of energy.
Despite her rage, Youxuan could sense that her aura and power level had not significantly increased.
"Have you reached your limit?"
Youxuan observed her for a moment before continuing slowly.
"I understand. You despise yourself and deny your own power. If you continue with this hateful mindset, you've probably reached your limit."
He paused, his gaze lingering on the glowing Dragon Mark on Shizukana's body.
"But your potential should be much greater. I think Dewain must have told you that the Red Dragon is an embodiment of evil, a tool the Law Enforcement Bureau uses to dominate the world, and that your Utopian Movement is the savior who will save the world from the Red Dragon, right?"
This was also recorded in Dewain's secret room.
Autumn continued to look at him coldly, remaining silent.
"You deny your power and even fight against it, which is why you're only this strong. You want revenge, you want to defeat me, but you won't achieve that with this level of strength.
Deep down, you crave acceptance, but Dewain has buried that desire, making you respond to others' hatred with violence and hatred. The result is that you are increasingly isolated, even to the point of hating yourself.
If you can't accept yourself, how can you expect others to accept you?"
"Shut up! Shut up! What do you know?" Autumn shouted, her voice filled with anger. "You judge so easily from your high position.
If I could accept myself, would I be in so much pain!?"
"Of course you can", Youxuan replied calmly. "Because Dewain has been lying from the start. The power of the Red Dragon has been passed down since ancient times, always as a force for protection.
Throughout history, people have revered it as a guardian deity, and those chosen by the Red Dragon have always been beloved heroes."
"Dewain doesn't lie", Autumn gritted her teeth. "It's your Law Enforcement Bureau that deceives and manipulates. Isn't that your specialty?"
Youxuan shrugged. He couldn't really argue with that; it was indeed part of Chief Godwin's persona.
"Well, I know you won't believe me right now, but I don't expect you to. Just keep it in mind. You'll understand in the future.
As for now..."
Youxuan smiled.
"Do you want to defeat me? Want revenge? Then work hard to become stronger and show me your limits.
My turn, draw!"
Autumn didn't respond, focusing intently.
She was beginning to realize that this person might indeed be a formidable opponent. However, she still had the Phoenix Lycoris on the field, and whether through battle or effect destruction, if the Lycoris is destroyed, it will deal 800 points of damage.
Come on, destroy my lycoris and keep taking damage.
“I sacrifice your ‘Rose Token’ and ‘Phoenix Lycoris’ on the field,” Youxuan said with a grin, “and gift you this powerful monster.”
Autumn: “?”
Sacrifice my lycoris?
In the next moment, she saw rolling lava rising beneath both the Rose Token and Phoenix Lycoris on her field. The lycoris's cries were drowned out by the volcanic rumble, and its body disintegrated into golden particles that fell into the boiling lava.
“From the depths of the molten lava, the power of destruction and rebirth—
—Level 8, Lava God!”
In the churning lava, a giant made of flames rose slowly. Its chained fists swung, and a dark cage emerged from the lava, trapping the helpless Young Girl inside.
Lava God, Attack Power: 3000
Autumn: “?”
No battle, no effect destruction—just eating my lycoris?
Autumn was stunned for a few seconds but continued, “But the effect of ‘Black Garden’ still activates.
A new monster is Special Summoned to my field, so Black Garden will Special Summon a new ‘Rose Token’ to your field!”
Another resilient rose bloomed on Youxuan's field.
Rose Token, Attack Power: 800
“The effect of the Continuous Trap ‘Rose Fire’!” Autumn shouted, “With a new Plant-Type monster Summoned to your field, take 500 points of damage!”
Youxuan, LP: 4100 → 3600
But for his now substantially recovered Life Points, this damage seemed insignificant.
Youxuan said, “Tithania the Cherry Blossom Maiden, Attack the remaining Defense Position ‘Rose Token’ on your field.”
Tithania swirled a storm of petals, forming a blood-red vortex that sucked the last rose on Autumn's field into it, shattering it into pieces.
Of course, there was no battle damage due to the Defense Position.
“Battle Phase ends. But while I gifted you my Tamahime, it wouldn't be wise to have my ace Attack you with it.”
Youxuan continued, “Now, I activate the Magic Card ‘Sword of Light Restraining’!”
Swords of holy light descended from the sky, landing with a swoosh around Autumn's field, forming an additional cage around the Lava God's prison, trapping her even further.
“The effect of ‘Sword of Light Restraining’ prevents your monsters from Attacking for three Turns, starting from this Turn,” Youxuan said. “My Turn ends.”
Autumn frowned.
Attack lock, what's he planning?
Autumn: “My Turn, Draw.”
Youxuan said, “At this moment, the monster effect of ‘Lava God’.
While this card is on the field, during the controller's Standby Phase, the controller takes 1000 points of damage.”
Lava cascaded over Autumn's head, the scorching heat seeming to dampen even her fierce aura.
“Gah!”
Autumn, LP: 3750 → 2750
Now she seemed to understand.
Could this guy be trying to lock down her Attacks and burn her with this ugly monster?
