Chapter 175: The Arrival of the Artificial Angel
"My turn, draw!"
As the turn returned to Yuexing, he took a moment to adjust his breath.
The Magic Canceler was indeed an unexpected card, and it effectively countered his Armed Tactics. It was a tricky monster for Yuexing.
If one's deck relied solely on 'Armed Transmigration,' encountering such a card could lead to an immediate downfall.
Of course, a skilled duelist would never stake everything on a single tactic.
There were certainly other possibilities lurking within Tianma Yuexing's deck.
"No wonder Kaiba Seto and Ye Xing immediately noticed your uniqueness. It's been a long time since I've encountered such a worthy opponent," Yuexing said solemnly.
"But I'm far from my limit yet! I activate my face-down Trap Card, 'Goblin's Business Tactics'!"
One of the Trap Cards in his backrow lit up.
"Add to your hand the number of 'Goblin's Business Tactics' in your Graveyard, plus 1 card, then select 1 card from your hand and return it to the bottom of your Deck."
Currently, Yuexing had zero 'Goblin's Business Tactics' in his Graveyard, so if the effect was resolved now, he would draw one card and then select one card from his hand to return to the bottom of his Deck.
"Then I chain the second one!" Yuexing declared, "Another Trap Card, 'Goblin's Business Tactics'! But that's not all, I also chain this card."
Yuexing swiftly waved his hand, revealing another card in his hand.
"Quick-Play Spell Card—Emergency Provisions! Send any number of Spell and Trap Cards you control to the Graveyard, and gain 1000 Life Points for each!"
He pointed to the two Trap Cards already activated on the field.
"By sending these two 'Goblin's Business Tactics' to the Graveyard, I gain 2000 Life Points!"
[Tianma Yuexing: LP 1000 → LP 3000]
The ace commentator, Mizawa, immediately recognized the essence of this combination due to his excellent professional qualities: "Amazing! The effect of the Trap Card still resolves even if it's no longer on the field! The 'Emergency Provisions' was activated before the effect of 'Goblin's Business Tactics' resolved, sending it to the Graveyard. Thus, when the effect of the two 'Goblin's Business Tactics' resolves, there are already two of them in the Graveyard."
Tianma Yuexing: "Therefore, according to the effect of each 'Goblin's Business Tactics,' I draw a number of cards from my Deck equal to the number of 'Goblin's Business Tactics' in my Graveyard plus one, which is three cards! In total, I draw six cards and then select two cards from my hand to return to the bottom of my Deck!"
Yuexing dramatically waved his arm, drawing six cards at once.
"He's replenished his hand while also recovering his Life Points," Asuka couldn't help but admire, "to be able to utilize Duel rules so skillfully..."
Mizawa remained silent, but he stole another glance at You Xuan.
He recalled You Xuan mentioning that he had defeated Yuexing's younger brother, Tianma Ye Xing.
The more he recognized the terror of his opponent, the more it chilled him to the bone—could this guy have defeated even such an opponent?
"I activate the Magic Card, 'Angel's Charity,' allowing me to draw three cards, and then discard two cards from my hand."
Yuexing picked out two cards from his hand and discarded them, but one of them soon reappeared in his hand with a golden glow.
"One of the discarded cards was another 'Scholarship Elf'!" Yuexing explained, "When this card is sent to the Graveyard, I get to draw another card!" (Original Card)
Tianma Yuexing drew another card.
Mizawa and Asuka exchanged a silent glance, both seemingly understanding what Yuexing was feeling. Indeed, having dueled You Xuan themselves, they shared a similar sentiment.
When dueling this guy, it wouldn't take more than a few turns before they felt like they were banging their heads against a wall, only to look up and be astonished by the towering peak before them.
Unconsciously, they would give it their all, racking their brains to find a way to overcome this peak.
Of course, they would ultimately lose.
Initially, they thought they were the only ones who felt this way.
Could it be that even legendary duelists like Yuexing experienced the same?
"You flatter me, I'm not that special," You Xuan replied politely with a smile. "I'm just giving it my all in each duel and learning from duelists like you."
"Giving it your all, huh?" Yuexing said with a mysterious smile. "But let's move on to confirming the effect of 'Angel 01' in my hand."
Yuexing revealed a card in his hand. "Angel 01' can be Special Summoned from the hand by showing a Level 7 or higher monster in your hand to your opponent."
He slowly drew another card and displayed it. "I show you 'Angel 07,' a Level 7 monster in my hand, and Special Summon 'Angel 01'!"
[Angel 01, ATK: 200]
You Xuan's gaze shifted to the angel card Yuexing had revealed.
Angel 07—Yuexing's signature card in the original story.
This card was also familiar to You Xuan. Although it wasn't widely used in the real card environment, it had still made appearances in various lockdown decks.
When Angel 07 was on the field after an Advanced Summon, no monsters could activate their effects—an extremely powerful full-field silence ability even by modern standards.
You Xuan frowned slightly.
It seemed something troublesome was about to make an appearance.
"Then I usually Summon the second 'Angel 01'!"
[Angel 01, ATK: 200]
"The second effect of 'Angel 01.' While this Special Summoned card is on the field, in addition to my Normal Summon, I can also perform an additional Advanced Summon of a Level 7 or higher monster once.
So, I'll offer up these two 'Angel 01' as Tributes!
Awaken now, the guardian with steel wings—Angel 07!"
The two little angels vanished in the storm of Tribute, their pure white armor reflecting a dazzling light. The white halo and armor complemented each other, and the white-hot light formed a sacred sanctum.
[Angel 07, ATK: 2500]
The artificial angel descended, the white light sanctum spreading rapidly until it enveloped the entire field, like a forbidden land sealing away demons!
