Chapter 146: Last Words
"Beast God Machine King, Barbaros Ur, attack the 'Nephthys, Phoenix God'!"
The Beast God Machine King let out a thunderous roar, like thunder reverberating at the heart of the battle. The red armor flashed with a cold light, and its massive body rode the thunderous waves!
"Activate my face-down card," You Xuan said calmly. "Continuous Trap: Soul Barrier! As long as I have a monster on my field, any battle damage I take becomes 0."
The Phoenix God was pierced by the thunderous assault, exploding into a fireball. But the flames formed a burning barrier, blocking the aftershocks of the Beast God Machine King's charge.
"The damage was blocked," Tianma Night Walker said with a smile. "But we're far from finished. Barbaros Ur, the Beast God Machine King, has a special ability that allows it to select a number of attack targets equal to its own rank during one turn." (Original effect)
This manga-style description is not very standard, but if we compare it to an actual card, it's similar to the effect of "Xyz Superload Dragon." "Additional attack targets" probably refer to the opponent's monsters on the field, in other words, the number of attacks on the opponent's monsters in one turn is equal to its own rank.
"The Beast God Machine King is a Level 8 monster, so it can choose eight attack targets in one turn!"
Gui Ping's face twitched as he heard this; "A monster that can attack eight times in one turn!?
But You Xuan remained unperturbed.
This was a minor display.
If you've seen the Xyz Superload Dragon with an attack power of over 10,000 attacking a dozen times in one turn, this is nothing surprising.
Night Walker shouted, "Beast God Machine King's second attack! Destroy 'Killer Tomato'!"
The tiny tomato was utterly powerless to resist and was instantly crushed under the unmatched divine might.
"However, due to 'Soul Barrier,' I take no damage," You Xuan stated. "And I activate the effect of 'Killer Tomato.' When it is destroyed in battle, I can Special Summon a DARK attribute monster with 1500 or less ATK from my deck.
I Special Summon a second 'Killer Tomato'!"
[Killer Tomato: ATK 1400]
"Go for it! The Beast God Machine King's third attack!"
The second tomato was instantly crushed, but You Xuan continued, "Since the effect of 'Soul Barrier' is still active, I take no battle damage.
And I Special Summon the third 'Killer Tomato' from my deck!"
[Killer Tomato: ATK 1400]
"Pointless. The Beast God Machine King's fourth attack!"
The entire army of little tomatoes was annihilated, but You Xuan remained unfazed. "Then, according to the effect of Killer Tomato, I Special Summon a DARK attribute monster with an ATK of 1400 or less.
I Special Summon 'Trainee Magician' in attack position!"
[Trainee Magician: ATK 400]
"In that case, the fifth attack will destroy the 'Trainee Magician'!" Night Walker declared.
The Trainee Magician also immediately left the field, but the damage was once again blocked by the "Soul Barrier." You Xuan immediately drew another automatically searched card from his deck.
"When the Trainee Magician is destroyed in battle, I can add a Level 2 or lower Magician monster from my deck to my hand. I add another 'Trainee Magician' to my hand."
Audience: "."
Is this guy for real?
Night Walker's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Then, the Beast God Machine King's sixth attack."
The second Trainee Magician also left the field, but as expected, You Xuan summoned the third one.
"The seventh attack," Night Walker ordered.
The third Trainee Magician also left the field, but its last words activated once more. You Xuan drew another card from his deck, "I add a Level 1 'Holy Magician' from my deck to my hand.
"When the Holy Magician is flipped, return a Magic Card from your graveyard to your hand. I recover the Magic Card 'Black Hole'."
The crowd of Card Professors tensed up again: "Now that he's recovered Black Hole, will he use it next turn to clear the field and counterattack?"
With the reveal of the Black Hole card, the pressure shifted back to Night Walker.
Night Walker frowned slightly but continued, "However, my assault is not over yet. This leaves your field wide open. I'll attack directly with 'Two-Headed Beast'!"
The Two-Headed Beast charged towards You Xuan's now-vacant field.
Just as it was about to connect, a golden light flashed from You Xuan's hand, and the fluffy Little Chestnut scampered onto the field, willingly blocking the attack! It was truly a magical game where a Chestnut Pokemon would jump out to take a hit.
"By discarding 'Chestnut,' he reduced the battle damage to zero?" Night Walker asked in a deep voice.
"To be able to defend to this extent... However, the 'Two-Headed Beast' has a special effect that allows it to attack twice in one turn."
The Two-Headed Beast unleashed its second strike!
This time, the attack broke through the layers of defense and hit You Xuan, causing him to stagger back two steps.
[You Xuan: LP 4000 → LP 2300]
The Card Professors breathed a collective sigh.
Finally, some life points were deducted. Even from a spectator's perspective, they could sense how hard-fought that hit was. Ten consecutive attacks in one turn, and they were all parried!
"I'll set one more card and end my turn." You Xuan declared.
"My turn, draw." Night Walker immediately took action. "I activate my set Trap Card—The Overlord's Monopoly! This card can only be activated during your opponent's standby phase, and it prevents them from entering the battle phase for this turn!"
Tiramisu, who was watching from the sidelines, commented, "Indeed, this is a way to maximize the blockade against an opponent's offense. But it seems Lord Night Walker is being forced to use such tactics to stall for time."
"Indeed," another Card Professor nodded. "It shows that the pressure You Xuan is exerting is indeed that formidable."
This duel had already surpassed the level of their underling-tier duels.
"I activate the Magic Card 'Greed Jar' and draw two cards." You Xuan accelerated his card drawing, adding to his hand the card he had recovered last turn. "Magic Card 'Black Hole'! Destroy all monsters on both players' fields!"
Through the Holy Magician's magic ability to recover cards, the mightiest field-clearing magic was unleashed once more. Night Walker's powerful Beast God Machine King and Two-Headed Beast were powerless as they disappeared into the celestial vortex, instantly ground to dust.
Instant field clearance!
You Xuan: "I'll set a monster in face-down defense and end my turn."
"That was close," one of the Card Professors blurted out. "If not for The Overlord's Monopoly for defense, that Black Hole could've ended the duel this turn."
The others remained silent but were deep in thought.
If any one of them were in this duel instead, they would probably owe several lives by now.
