Chapter 1182: The King’s Battle
Yuxuan: "The activation of Bomb Defense is negated, and Hyper Librarian continues to destroy!"
Just as the newly constructed Bomb Defense array was being crushed and dissipated, even the golden fragments were swallowed into the Trap Interference Array below. The land mines, now unimpeded, continued to detonate, rushing toward the Librarian.
"Besides the Trap to counter my Attack, there’s even a Trap to protect other Traps", Antinomy murmured. "Is this the King’s strategy?
However, my tactics don’t end there!"
Antinomy raised his arm, and a card shot out from the Graveyard of his D-Wheel. A skeletal figure, seemingly made of crystal, materialized on his field, its body transforming into energy and being absorbed into the Librarian.
Instantly, a transparent layer, like a crystal energy armor, enveloped the Librarian, forming a sturdy shell around his body. The surrounding land mines exploded continuously, their fiery blasts battering against the armor, which shattered and peeled off, but the Librarian remained unscathed.
Yuxuan had already seen through it: "The monster discarded to the Graveyard by the effect of Angel Baton, right?"
"Exactly!"
Antinomy confirmed.
"The monster discarded to the Graveyard by the effect of Angel Baton is Transparent Metal Skeleton!
When this monster is on the field or in the Graveyard, if a Tech-Genus monster on my field is destroyed by battle or an effect, I can substitute it by banishing Transparent Metal Skeleton from the Graveyard!"
A black vortex opened above the Tricarrier, and the Transparent Metal Skeleton card was sucked into the vortex, vanishing into another dimension.
"Thus, Hyper Librarian is protected from the destruction by the Omni-Mine!"
Antinomy pointed at Yuxuan.
"Since I couldn’t destroy Hyper Librarian, the battle continues. Hyper Librarian, direct Attack!"
Antinomy instinctively held his breath.
The opponent’s dual defenses had been shattered!
He believed that even by his own standards, this performance was nearly perfect. The opponent’s Trap to counter his Attack and the Trap to protect other Traps were both beautifully neutralized. With this, if the next Attacks by Hyper Librarian and the Rhino Assault managed to get through, the combined damage of over four thousand would finish him off in one turn!
"Truly impressive, the King of Duels in the Future Ride World!"
Yuxuan praised.
"But if I were to be defeated so easily, it would be a disgrace to our dimension."
He laughed and drew another card from the hand zone of his D-Wheel, swiftly placing it on his Duel Disk.
Data transmitted, and a burst of colored light accompanied by electrical currents erupted from the Duel Disk on the D-Wheel. Just as the Librarian’s strike was about to reach his face, a massive wave of Darkness was released, rapidly taking shape in front of his D-Wheel.
Dark purple mist exploded, tearing a chasm in the void. Pitch-black storm clouds roiled with blood-red lightning, and countless azure soul fires rose from the crack, swirling and wailing like tormented spirits.
A dragon over twenty meters long, with scales as black as the abyss, emerged. Jagged bone spines, like the blades of a guillotine, protruded from its back, and its head, adorned with a demonic mask, bared fangs dripping with purple-black infernal flames that seemed to devour light, as if time itself froze with each breath.
The Librarian, mid-charge, halted abruptly, gazing up at the colossal dragon, hesitant to advance.
Antinomy: "What?"
Yuxuan: "Dark End Dragon, when a card controlled by my opponent is negated by my Counter Trap, this card can be Special Summoned directly from my hand!"
Dark End Dragon, Attack Power 2800
"Your Trap 'Bomb Defense' was negated by my Counter Trap 'Trap Interference Array,' which allowed me to Special Summon Dark End Dragon", Yuxuan explained.
Antinomy gritted his teeth. "You set up a double Trap, and then another layer of defense. Was the second Trap just a setup for Dark End Dragon?"
He clenched his jaw, realizing that this opponent's Duel strategy might indeed be superior to his own.
"However, because your field's monster count changed during the Attack phase due to the Special Summon, the battle was automatically called off", Antinomy countered.
"I will end my Attack command. Return, Hyper Librarian!"
The librarian promptly retreated, no longer attacking but instead standing guard beside Antinomy.
"But even if you abandon the Attack, you can't completely avoid the backlash", Yuxuan smiled.
Antinomy's eyes widened. "What?"
Yuxuan continued, "Dark End Dragon's effect: When this card is Special Summoned successfully, it gains different effects based on the type of card I negated with my Counter Trap. I negated a Trap Card, so I can choose and destroy one card on your field."
Antinomy's face darkened. "This is bad."
Beyond the triple defense, there was an offensive move hidden!
This guy...
"Although I'm sorry, it seems you won't be able to protect your librarian", Yuxuan chuckled. "Dark End Dragon, destroy 'Tech-Genus Hyper Librarian'!"
Dark End Dragon let out a roar, and a jet of dark energy burst from its mouth, relentlessly pursuing the librarian who had just retreated. The dark energy was relentless, and the librarian couldn't escape.
Antinomy frowned but continued to defend. "Then I will activate a Set Card, the Continuous Trap 'Metal Armor'!
This card equips a monster on my field as an Equip Card, and the equipped monster cannot be destroyed by card effects."
Antinomy indicated his librarian. "Equip 'Metal Armor' to 'Tech-Genus Hyper Librarian' to protect it from card effects!"
A layer of metallic armor appeared on the librarian's body, gleaming with a metallic sheen. Dark End Dragon's powerful attack struck the librarian, and a transparent shockwave spread out, but it was seemingly neutralized by the armor.
"Wow, you really are something to handle that."
Yuxuan showed genuine admiration. The librarian was like a cockroach that couldn't be killed, with layers of defenses that kept coming. Even he was surprised that such a combination hadn't been enough to take it down.
Antinomy, however, was inwardly shaken. He was now breathing slightly harder from the intense exchange.
The precautions he had set up were intended for a long-term strategy, ideally to protect his ultimate monster after an Acceleration Synchro. But within this single turn, he had been forced to use all of them.
Is this what it means to fight at the level of a champion?
He realized that in a Duel with this opponent, he couldn't afford the slightest lapse in attention.
Regardless of the other guy's other abilities, he was definitely a master of setting traps, and Antinomy needed to be cautious.
"Place a card face down, my Turn ends!"
