Chapter 191: Perfectly Hand-Shattered
Chapter 191: Perfectly Hand-Shattered
"Not bad."
Da Shan stood up straight and declared in a loud voice.
"But my year of cultivation has not been in vain! My turn! The effect of the continuous magic 'Will of the Common Man' is that during the draw phase, if you draw a normal monster, you can show it to your opponent and draw another card. The card I drew is the Card-drawer!" (Original Card)
It was also a monster used by Da Shan in the anime, a 2-star Common Bone with an attack power of 900.
"Therefore, I accept the effect of 'Will of the Common Man' and draw a card from my deck!"
Da Shan drew another card.
"This time, I drew the normal monster 'Magic Lizard Yihao'!"
As expected, he had drawn it again.
"I'll draw another card!"
Da Shan drew once more.
"This time, I drew the second 'Card-drawer'. Let me draw one more card."
". . ."
Taking advantage of the effect of "Will of the Common Man," Da Shan drew seven cards in one go, all of them Common Bones.
Finally, on the eighth draw, he didn't draw another Common Bone. Instead, he drew the very card that was Da Shan's Soul Card in the anime—a Level 3 effect monster, "Card-drawing Machine," an anime-original card.
"It finally stopped."
Marufuji Sho wiped his sweat.
Too terrifying.
"But even if you drew so many cards, they're all normal monsters, right?" Hayato said, "Having so many normal monsters in your hand isn't that useful."
But his question was soon answered.
"It's the Card-drawing Machine," Asuka said in a low voice, "The last monster he drew is the 'Card-drawing Machine.' When it is successfully summoned, you can shuffle any number of cards from your hand back into your deck, gaining 500 attack points for each card."
An anime-original card, Da Shan's Soul Card, and his trump card.
【Card-drawing Machine, 3 stars, Attack Power?
Effect: When this card is summoned, shuffle any number of cards from your hand back into your deck. This card's attack power becomes that number x 500 points. Additionally, when this card destroys an opponent's monster in battle, that monster does not go to the graveyard but is shuffled back into the bottom of the deck.】
Everyone was astonished.
Who would've thought of such a combination?
At first glance, drawing a bunch of Common Bones with "Will of the Common Man" seemed useless, but when combined with this monster, if he shuffled all seven Common Bones he just drew back into his deck, the attack power of this three-star monster would surge to 3500 all at once!
Even higher than the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon!
"Hahaha, excellent!" Da Shan laughed, "Now witness the power of my Soul Card!
I perform a normal summon."
"Before that, I activate a face-down card, the trap card 'Desert Light'!" You Xuan declared, "All monsters on my field change to face-up Defense Position."
Da Shan frowned, "Are you trying to switch to Defense Position to withstand the attack?"
Or perhaps...
"All the monsters on my field change to face-up Defense Position, and the face-down monster is also flipped face-up." You Xuan continued, "The card I've flipped is... 'Morphing Pot'!"
The Pot with a smug look on its face flipped onto the field, unleashing its divine might.
"The effect of Morphing Pot activates when it is flipped face-up. Both players discard their entire hands and then draw five new cards."
Da Shan understood.
"So that's it. By using the effect of Morphing Pot, you forced me to discard my entire hand, preventing me from using the combination with the Card-drawing Machine."
But a smirk played at the corners of his mouth as he coldly laughed, "What of it? My drawing power is absolute. These five new cards I drew will bring about another unbeatable combination!"
"I'm afraid not."
You Xuan snapped his fingers.
"Chain activation of another face-down card, the trap card 'Return to the Frontlines'! Special Summon any number of monsters from your Graveyard in face-up Defense Position.
The card I'm bringing back from the Graveyard is this one."
A card flew out from his graveyard.
"Temple Guardian!"
【Temple Guardian, Defense Power 1900】
Da Shan: "?"
What is this thing?
You Xuan smiled as he explained, "Temple Guardian. As long as this card remains face-up on the field, your opponent cannot draw cards outside of their Draw Phase."
Da Shan fell into deep thought.
Wait, let me process this.
The effect of Morphing Pot forces both players to discard their entire hands and then draw five new cards.
As long as Temple Guardian remains on the field, my opponent cannot draw any cards.
Da Shan: "..."
What the what?!
The spectators couldn't help but gasp in shock.
This move is...
A complete hand destruction!
"That's right," You Xuan said, "By accepting the effect of 'Morphing Pot,' you must discard all the cards in your hand, but you cannot draw new cards to replace them."
You Xuan, on the other hand, drew from his deck with a cheerful smile.
"And according to the effect of 'Morphing Pot,' I draw five cards."
Da Shan: "..."
Spectators: "..."
After a moment of silence, Hayato said, "Well, I have to say, that's... quite a formidable combo."
"Indeed," Marufuji Sho agreed.
As they looked at You Xuan, their eyes reflected a growing fear.
As expected, You Xuan's dueling style is terrifying.
He always finds new and flashy ways to prevent his opponents from dueling effectively. Da Shan Ping was now in a semi-comatose state, his mind unable to process what had just happened.
He had a handful of cards, and he had just drawn a fresh hand, but before he could even warm up to the new cards, they were all sent to the graveyard in one go. However, the Temple Guardian's aura was like an invisible shackle on his deck, locking each card securely in place.
Every card was firmly bound within the deck.
He could no longer hear the whispers of his deck.
Da Shan opened his mouth, his face bitter with frustration, but he found himself unable to speak.
He desperately wanted to utilize the unbeatable drawing power he had cultivated over the past year and find a solution.
But he couldn't.
Because he wasn't allowed to draw any cards, not even given the chance to showcase his godly drawing skills.
So he racked his brains, searching for any remaining options, thinking of ways to turn the tables, but all he could hear echoing in his mind was a single word—
—Gimmick.
What the hell am I supposed to do now? How am I supposed to duel when I don't have any cards in my hand? Tell me how I'm supposed to duel like this?
"How could this be..."
A savage who had lost his dream murmured to himself.
"I've trained so hard, reaching this dreamlike state. Dueling is about drawing cards, and drawing power should decide everything.
Why... How come...???"
As he thought about the arduous training he had endured over the past year, all the resentment and unwillingness to accept his current situation, coupled with the fact that he was completely unable to play any cards, Da Shan Ping was on the verge of tears, overwhelmed with frustration.
The spectators were momentarily speechless.
Although they were supposed to be on You Xuan's side, they inexplicably began to sympathize with the savage before them.
"If you're not going to do anything, then it's my turn again," You Xuan smiled.
"My turn, draw a card."
Although he now had six cards in his hand and plenty of room to maneuver, he was a kind person, and it was clear that his opponent had run out of options, so he decided to end the duel quickly and spare his opponent further pain.
"Change the battle position of the monsters on the field to attack mode," You Xuan waved his hand, "Then, 'Dragon Bone Ghost,' 'Elemental Hero Bubbleman,' and 'Temple Guardian,' attack Da Shan directly."
【Dragon Bone Ghost, Attack Power 2400】
【Elemental Hero Bubbleman, Attack Power 800】
【Temple Guardian, Attack Power 1100】
Da Shan was flipped over and lay flat on his back, his eyes vacant and unseeing, with no reaction at all.
【Da Shan, LP 3200 → LP 0】
