Chapter 1176: Protecting the Family
Chapter 1176: Protecting the Family
Yego trembled.
Especially when he saw the other person activate their Duel Disk, his face fell. "Is this the legendary Darkness Duel?"
"Ho, as expected of the Deputy Director, you’re well-informed."
Youxuan chuckled.
"Indeed."
Yego’s expression grew even more grim. "So, are you going to silence me?"
"Well, since you know what you shouldn’t, there’s no other way", Youxuan said with a sigh.
Yego was on the verge of tears. "I swear I won’t say a word. I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything today! You’re still the great Director Goodwin, and I won’t tell anyone."
"Ahaha, that’s very touching. But I’m still more inclined to silence you physically", Youxuan smiled. "After all, why take the risk?"
Yego gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, and then activated his Duel Disk.
"Fine, it seems there’s no other choice. If that’s the case..."
He took a deep breath, put on his Duel Disk, and stepped forward.
"Then let’s go! I will fight too, I have something I must protect!"
Yes, he had a wife and children, a family to take care of. Everything he did was for their sake, whether it was flattering others or doing dirty and exhausting work. It didn’t matter what he did or what he became, as long as he could protect his family.
Yego was resolute.
"I’m the pillar of my family. My wife and son are waiting for me to come back. I can’t fall here!"
Youxuan laughed. "Oh? That’s a very touching resolve."
"Duel!" (x2)
[Youxuan, LP 4000]
[Yego, LP 4000]
"I’ll start, Draw!"
Yego went first.
"I Normal Summon the Jester King!"
In the world of Yu-Gi-Oh, Decks and Duelists often have a close connection. Yego, who looked like a jester, naturally used a Jester Deck.
The Jester King had a classic circus clown appearance, with a pale face, a large, comical nose, and messy green hair. He skillfully juggled circus balls.
[Jester King, Attack Power 0]
Yego: "Then I set four cards and end my turn!"
"Setting four backrow cards right off the bat, not bad at all, promising", Youxuan said with a smile.
5D’s truly lived up to its reputation as the Trap dimension. Even a clown like Yego had such keen insight.
Yego let out his signature eerie laugh. "It’s not just that.
When the Jester King is the only monster on my field, its Attack Power increases by 1000 for each card in either player’s Spell or Trap Card zones.
I have four face-down cards in my backrow, so the Jester King’s Attack Power..."
[Jester King, Attack Power 0 → Attack 4000]
"Four thousand Attack Power, impressive. I’ll have to be careful", Youxuan said. "My turn, Draw."
"I Normal Summon the Scrap Beast."
[Scrap Beast, Attack Power 1600]
Youxuan: "The Jester King’s effect only works when there are no other monsters on the field. Now that another monster has been summoned, the Jester King’s effect is nullified, and its Attack Power returns to normal."
[Jester King, Attack 4000 → Attack Power 0]
"Hehe, I expected this!"
Yego raised his hand.
"I activate my face-down card, the Continuous Trap, Royal Ledger!
When the Attack Power of a monster on my field decreases, until the End Phase, add that decrease to the Attack Power of one of my monsters! (Original card)
Add the 4000 Attack Power that the Jester King just lost back to itself!"
[Jester King, Attack Power 0 → Attack 4000]
"Oh? A combo specifically prepared for the Jester King's effect? Not bad." Youxuan said. "This way, you retain 4,000 Attack Points, making it hard to take you down."
Yego firmly replied, "I've already said it, I can't be easily defeated! I have people to protect, and people waiting for me to return!"
"Tsk tsk, a devoted husband and father, how touching."
Youxuan smiled.
"Men become stronger to protect those they care about. That spirit is commendable. However, it's a shame. You know too much, and I still have to silence you.
I activate the Magic Card 'Foolish Burial' to send a monster from my Deck to the Graveyard.
I send 'Scrap Chimera' from my Deck to the Graveyard."
Youxuan drew the Chimera that automatically popped out, and his Deck shuffled automatically.
"Then, I Special Summon 'Scrap Dog' from my hand!"
[Scrap Dog, Attack Power 1700]
"Scrap Dog can be Special Summoned directly from the hand if there is a 'Scrap' monster on my field.
However, as a cost, I must destroy one 'Scrap' monster on my field after Special Summoning.
I destroy 'Scrap Beast.'"
A loud explosion echoed as the Scrap Beast shattered into countless pieces.
"Scrap Beast's effect: when it is destroyed, I can return a 'Scrap' monster from my Graveyard, other than Scrap Beast, to my hand." Youxuan said, "I return 'Scrap Chimera' from my Graveyard to my hand."
Yego's expression grew grim.
By first sending a monster to the Graveyard and then using the Graveyard to recover it, Youxuan had retrieved the Scrap Chimera.
Now, with Scrap Dog on the field, a Tuner monster, the next move was likely to be a Synchro Summon!
Youxuan: "Next, I activate the Quick-Play Spell 'Quick Summon,' allowing me to Normal Summon a monster from my hand.
I summon 'Scrap Chimera'!"
[Scrap Chimera, Attack Power 1700]
"Scrap Chimera's effect: when this card is successfully summoned, I can Special Summon a 'Scrap' Tuner monster from my Graveyard.
I Special Summon 'Scrap Beast' from my Graveyard!"
The Scrap Beast, which had just been destroyed, returned to the field through the Graveyard's vortex.
[Scrap Beast, Attack Power 1600]
Now, there were two Tuners and one non-Tuner on the field.
"I won't let you Synchro Summon!"
Yego shouted.
"I activate the Cover Card, Continuous Trap 'Dissonance'!
For three turns, neither player can perform a Synchro Summon. This card is sent to the Graveyard at the end of my third End Phase."
The Trap flipped, releasing transparent sound waves that enveloped the entire field, forming an invisible barrier.
"Hmm, you saw through my plan and restricted my Synchro Summon. Not bad."
Youxuan revealed another card from his hand.
"Then, I activate the Continuous Spell 'Virus Mail.'
Once per turn, I can select a Level 4 or lower monster on my field in face-up position, and that monster can directly attack this turn."
Yego: "I see, since you can't break through the Jester King's 4,000 Attack Points, you're trying to decide the match with a direct attack."
His expression turned cold.
"But! It's useless!
I activate the Cover Card, Continuous Trap 'Synchron Barrier'! If either player has a Tuner monster on their field or in their Graveyard, they cannot declare an attack for the next three turns!"
