Chapter 306: The Revenge of the Ordinary
Chapter 306: The Revenge of the Ordinary
"Assault the Headquarters and destroy 'Warm Bug'!" You Xuan declared. "Send five cards to the Graveyard, and take the damage from Deathly Enticement!"
The entire audience stared with widened eyes, eagerly anticipating the outcome.
Would You Xuan truly burn a professional player alive like this?
"That's a good idea, kid. But it won't be that easy," Somelie shouted. "Activate my Trap Card, 'Destruct Potion'! Destroy a monster on your field and regain life points equal to its original ATK!"
At the last moment, the Giant Sheep on his field exploded with a loud bang, shattering the wine bottles on its body into pieces. However, the splashing wine quickly transformed into nutrients that were absorbed into Somelie's body, restoring a significant amount of his life points.
[Somelie: LP 1000 → LP 3500]
"Then, your Warm Bug is destroyed by the effect of 'Assault the Headquarters.' I'll send the top five cards of my Deck to the Graveyard," Somelie explained.
He sent five cards to the Graveyard one after the other, and with each card, a wave of yin energy emerged from the Graveyard, swirling around him.
"I take 1500 damage."
[Somelie: LP 3500 → LP 2000]
"Hmm, you managed to survive that," You Xuan remarked. "In that case, 'Giant Barrel-Ovis' and 'Destruct Potion' are sent to the Graveyard, making it two more cards. Deathly Enticement inflicts an additional 600 points of damage."
[Somelie: LP 2000 → LP 1400]
"But your 'Warm Bug' and Trap Card 'Assault the Headquarters' will also be sent to the Graveyard. And when a monster is destroyed, 'Call of the Living Dead' must also be destroyed, making it a total of three cards," Somelie countered.
"You'll take damage from your own Trap Card's effect as well."
[You Xuan: LP 3400 → LP 2500]
"Then I activate my Trap Card, 'Revival Assembly'!" Somelie took a step forward and declared, "Revival Assembly! When one of your monsters is destroyed by an effect, that monster is Special Summoned back to your field!"
A vortex opened in the Graveyard, and a pillar of red liquid resembling wine erupted, bringing back the massive sheep carrying a giant wine bottle to the field.
"Return, my ace! Giant Barrel-Ovis, Revival!"
[Giant Barrel-Ovis: ATK 2500]
"With a new Trap Card sent to the Graveyard, that's another 300 points of damage," You Xuan said.
[Somelie: LP 1400 → LP 1100]
Somelie scoffed.
Bring it on, let's hurt each other.
After all, we're both being lured by the Underworld, let's see who burns first.
"As expected of a professional, it's not that easy to take me down," You Xuan smiled. "Very well, I haven't made my Normal Summon this turn yet.
I Normal Summon 'Disruptive Yellow' in face-down defense mode."
[Disruptive Yellow: DEF 1000]
The Disruptive Yellow spirit next to Manjimuto suddenly jumped out: "Big brother, look! It's my fellow spirit! It's me—"
Manjimuto: "Shut up."
"Big brother is so mean."
"I'll also Set two cards and end my turn."
A weak monster and Set cards. Somelie took a deep breath.
As expected, he never intended to face this opponent head-on from the start.
The Duel Academy has produced quite an eccentric student.
"My turn, draw!" Somelie said in a deep voice. "During the Standby Phase, the effect of 'Giant Barrel-Ovis' also activates.
This card gains 1000 ATK during each of my Standby Phases."
[Giant Barrel-Ovis: ATK 2500 → ATK 3500]
Then he glanced at the card he had just drawn, narrowing his eyes as the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Heh, this is the perfect card for this situation.
"Deathly Enticement, it seems that Trap Card is the core of your strategy," Somelie declared. "Then it ends here!
I activate the Magic Card, 'Trap Demolition'! Destroy a face-up Trap Card on the field.
Destroy 'Deathly Enticement'!"
The Trap Card exploded, and the eerie Grim Reaper vanished without a trace. In that instant, it felt as though the temperature of the entire field rose by several degrees.
"Now that annoying Trap Card won't interfere anymore," Somelie said. "Next, I Normal Summon 'Bubbly Belle-Champagne'!" (Original Card)
[Bubbly Belle-Champagne: ATK 1200]
This man is a well-known wine enthusiast in the professional circuit, and his Deck is essentially a winery, filled with monsters related to various wines.
"Let's start the battle! Bubbly Belle-Champagne attacks Disruptive Yellow!"
Bubbly Belle raised her palms, and golden wine shot towards You Xuan's Disruptive Yellow, destroying it instantly. You Xuan remained calm and collected, standing in place as the explosion's blast washed over him.
"Now, I activate the Trap Card 'Disruptive Sale' from the Graveyard," (Original Card) You Xuan said.
"A Trap Card from the Graveyard?" Somelie furrowed his brows.
"Disruptive Sale can only be activated when a 'Disruptive' monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard," You Xuan explained as he revealed the Trap Card that had been banished from the Graveyard.
"Banish 'Disruptive Sale' from the Graveyard, then target a 'Disruptive' monster in the Graveyard and Special Summon it.
Return, Disruptive Yellow."
[Disruptive Yellow: DEF 1000]
He retrieved Disruptive Yellow from the Graveyard.
The newly returned Disruptive Yellow didn't even have time to steady itself before it was once again drowned in wine and exploded into nothingness.
Manjimuto's companion Disruptive Yellow spirit covered its face, whimpering, "I died twice in one turn... How tragic!"
"Quiet," Manjimuto ordered.
You Xuan nonchalantly watched as his Disruptive Yellow was obliterated for the second time, then waved his hand to reveal his back row, "I activate the Continuous Trap, 'Human Wave Tactics'!
During each End Phase, if a Level 2 or lower Normal Monster(s) I controlled was destroyed by battle this turn: Special Summon from my Deck, in face-up Defense Position, the same number of Level 2 or lower Normal Monsters that were destroyed."
Somelie spoke in a deep voice, "This turn, your 'Disruptive Yellow' was destroyed twice."
"Indeed. So, by the effect of 'Human Wave Tactics', I Special Summon two Level 2 or lower Normal Monsters from my Deck."
You Xuan revealed the two cards he had searched from his Deck.
"Special Summon 'Disruptive Black' and 'Disruptive Green'!"
[Disruptive Black: DEF 1000]
[Disruptive Green: DEF 1000]
"Then, I activate the Trap, 'Disruptive Briefs'!" You Xuan continued, activating his final backrow card.
"This turn, if 'Disruptive Green', 'Disruptive Black', or 'Disruptive Yellow' are destroyed by battle: Special Summon them again!"
[Disruptive Yellow: DEF 1000]
"Ugh, these weaklings just keep popping up," Somelie grit his teeth.
After attacking twice, these nuisances were multiplying like cockroaches instead of dwindling in numbers.
"Pfft, end of turn."
Calm.
Although he hadn't managed to push through with his attacks, the crucial 'Deathly Enticement' had been dealt with, and he still had his ace, "Grand Cru-Ovis" on the field, which would boast a formidable 4500 ATK by his next turn.
The situation was still overwhelmingly in his favor, so there was no need to panic.
That's what he told himself, but why did his heart keep pounding with unease when facing this student?
"My turn, draw!"
Here it comes.
You Xuan smiled, and Somelie's heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly, he had a bad feeling about this.
No, don't panic.
Somelie shook his head to clear his thoughts.
"Even if they keep coming, they're still just weaklings," he muttered to himself, "They pose no threat."
"That's not very professional of you, Senior," You Xuan chided with a smile, "Even the weakest monsters have potential, and we should never underestimate any monster's hidden capabilities. That's the basic mindset of a professional, isn't it?"
Somelie: "..."
"Since you look down on them so much, Senior, let me show you the potential of these so-called weaklings."
Somelie's spirits lifted at the mention of potential.
The potential of the disruptive monsters... Fusion?
While they were the epitome of common and mediocre monsters, Somelie was aware that the disruptive monsters possessed the potential for fusion. However, even if they fused, they would still be weaklings with zero ATK and an ability that sealed the monster zones. Despite having a defensive prowess comparable to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, they were still considered lackluster in the Dueling World.
Even if he summoned the Disruptive King, it would easily be overwhelmed by his ace, "Grand Cru-Ovis".
"I Set a monster in face-down Defense Position," Somelie declared.
A face-down monster appeared on You Xuan's field.
Somelie: "?"
Not going for a fusion?
Then what other potential could these disruptive monsters have?
"Then, I activate the effect of 'AD Changer' from the Graveyard," You Xuan explained, "By banishing 'AD Changer' from the Graveyard, I can change the battle position of a monster on the field. I change the battle position of my face-down monster to face-up Attack Position. And that monster is..."
The face-down monster was flipped into Attack Position, revealing a bunny with long, white ears, holding a carrot in its mouth, which it continuously munched on.
[Death Rabbit: ATK 1000]
"Death Rabbit is a Flip monster, and its Flip Effect..."
You Xuan chuckled.
"...inflicts 1000 damage to my opponent for each Normal Monster I control, except Tokens."
". . ."
How... much?
Somelie stared at You Xuan's field in disbelief.
Normal Monsters, excluding Tokens:
[Disruptive Yellow: DEF 1000]
[Disruptive Black: DEF 1000]
[Disruptive Green: DEF 1000]
Somelie's face twisted in agony.
Wryyyyyyy...
The elegant professional duelist let out an unintelligible cry, unclear if it was one of pleasure or pain.
"Death Rabbit, this is the potential of my disruptive monsters? This is the vengeance of the common folk, isn't it?"
"Even the common folk have their uses. Looking down on weaklings comes at a cost," You Xuan waved his hand, "I have three Disruptive monsters on my field, so that's a total of 3000 damage!"
Empowered by Death Rabbit's presence, the trio of disruptive monsters leaped into the air, their backsides pressed together in an extremely undignified pose, as they flew towards Somelie's face.
[Somelie: LP 1100 → LP 0]
