Chapter 330: The Evil King
Chapter 330: The Evil King
As the Fiend King let out a furious "Wryyyyyy!", it was once again banished from the field of play. Excluded again! How could this be happening?!
The rift in dimensions reopened, and the invisible force of gravity pulled the Minotaur Demon back. Even the protective shield of the Guardian's power was unable to withstand it, shattering into pieces as the demon was pulled into the void.
"Ahhh! Then I'll use the Nine-Tailed Fox's attack! Attack and destroy that damn thing!"
On You Xuan's field, the "Survivor of Another Dimension" remained. The Nine-Tailed Fox lashed out with all nine of its tails, channeling energy into its mouth and unleashing a fiery blast.
This time, nothing stood in the way. The Survivor of Another Dimension was engulfed by the fireball and quickly burned to ashes.
[You Xuan, LP: 4000 → 3600]
"Impressive! You managed to chip away at my life points," You Xuan commended his opponent's relentless efforts. "Keep it up."
Fiend King: "..."
Why was it that despite the successful attack, the sense of powerlessness only grew stronger? The Fiend King remained silent, his face darkening as he silently drew another card and placed it in his backrow to end his turn, his teeth gritting audibly.
"Don't get so worked up; it's not good for your health or your dueling," You Xuan advised, his tone carrying a hint of concern.
Fiend King: "..."
"During your End Phase, the 'Survivor of Another Dimension' will return once more. This card returns to the field during the End Phase of the turn it was banished from the game."
[Survivor of Another Dimension: ATK 1800]
"The card I discarded when I activated 'Karma Cut' earlier was 'Dimensional Scout,'" You Xuan explained. "Due to the effect of 'Macro Cosmos,' the Scout isn't sent to the Graveyard but is banished from the game instead. And the effect of the Scout is that when it is banished from the game, it can be Special Summoned back to the field in Attack Position during the End Phase."
[Dimensional Scout: ATK 800]
"My turn, draw," You Xuan paused briefly.
"Alright, I think it's about time to bring this to a close."
The Fiend King's heart sank.
You Xuan's tone was flat, devoid of the triumph of victory or the mockery of a gloating winner. Instead, it carried the calm narration of one foretelling an inevitable outcome.
You Xuan glanced at his hand and smiled gently.
"Ah, I understand. Don't worry; I'll give you a chance to make your move soon."
Only then did the Fiend King sense the ominous presence in You Xuan's hand.
Something that made him uneasy even before it was summoned to the field.
"First, I'll offer the 'Dimensional Scout' as a Tribute for an Advanced Summon. Let all things freeze under the rule of the Ice Emperor—
—Come forth, Mobius the Frost Monarch!"
Snowflakes began to fall, and a domain of ice crystals emerged as the towering figure of the Ice Emperor descended amidst the swirling snow.
The space seemed enveloped by a frigid, purifying force, freezing even the air into translucent ice crystals, like a static painting.
With a single palm strike from the Ice Emperor, the domain of ice crystals expanded. A thin layer of frost formed on the ground and quickly spread as the Ice Emperor unleashed its power, transforming the surroundings into a silver-clad icy realm. It was as if everything had been cloaked in a shimmering armor of ice.
A howling blizzard swept through, carrying countless ice crystals and snowflakes. The Fiend King's Set cards were instantly frozen and then shattered like glass into icy fragments.
Trap Card: Kamikaze Blast Shield - Atmospheric Power.
When the opponent declares an attack, return all Attack Position monsters on their field to the hand. A lifesaver, a last resort for a comeback.
But against the might of the Ice Emperor, it was futile. With the successful Advanced Summon of the Ice Emperor, up to two Magic or Trap cards on the field could be destroyed.
But no, it wasn't that monster.
That ominous aura, that dark power, still lurked in his opponent's hand.
"I activate the Continuous Trap, 'Blood Sacrifice,' paying 500 Life Points to perform an Advanced Summon." You Xuan said calmly.
[You Xuan, LP: 3600 → 3100]
"I offer 'Survivor from Another Dimension' as a Tribute for an Advanced Summon."
He slowly drew a card from his hand.
As the card was slammed onto the Dueling Disk, it was as if a dark entity had broken free from its shackles.
Darkness surged and exploded, causing even the starlit sky of Macro Cosmos to dim. It was as if dark clouds had veiled the stars, but this wasn't an ordinary blackness; it was a void so profound it could devour all.
Crimson beams of light descended from above, like demonic tentacles reaching for the ground. As the earth trembled, an indescribable presence seemed to awaken. A massive shadow rose slowly from the abyss, its outline gradually sharpening into focus. Its deep purple hue seemed to be composed of countless tiny dark particles, and its eyes, a burning red, shone with an evil, enticing gleam.
The invisible pressure reached its peak.
The Fiend King's eyes widened, and his body trembled.
He sensed it—this was the source of that terrifying pressure, the origin of that evil power.
He steeled himself against the oppressive force and looked at You Xuan with a mixture of shock and dread.
He started to regret not investigating his opponent's background beforehand. Now it made sense—if someone had caught the attention of New Domino and prompted them to enlist his help, they couldn't be a pushover.
But it was too late for regrets now.
"The effect of Evil King Geius activates when an Advanced Summon is successful, excluding any card on the field from play."
You Xuan glanced at Geius.
"Show me what you've got."
The Evil King nodded and extended his hand, his five fingers spreading wide. His pitch-black palm seemed to lead straight into the abyss.
Space warped under the influence of his dimensional power, locking onto the Nine-Tailed Fox's location. The mystical fox was utterly helpless to resist, its immortality ability rendered meaningless before the Evil King, and it vanished powerlessly as space twisted around it.
"When the Nine-Tailed Fox is destroyed, I can Special Summon a token in its place, but that won't activate if it's excluded from play."
You Xuan explained nonchalantly.
The Nine-Tailed Fox's effect had been changed to require it to be "destroyed and sent to the Graveyard" for its token to remain, but the original version had no such restriction; as long as the Nine-Tailed Fox was destroyed, its effect would trigger. In other words, even with Macro Cosmos in play, its last words would still take effect.
But if the Evil King's power directly excluded it from play, there wouldn't be any complications.
"Of course, if it's directly excluded, the Nine-Tailed Fox's resurrection effect becomes useless as well. It can only infinitely revive itself if it's in the Graveyard."
You Xuan paused briefly, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Well, of course, you wouldn't have had the chance to use that effect anyway."
The Ice and Evil Emperors, one shrouded in ice and the other in darkness, stood tall before the Fiend King, their arms crossed, like two majestic mountains.
Fear had overtaken the Fiend King's expression.
"Y-You can't be a student of the Duel Academy!"
He managed to say, his eyes darting anxiously toward the formidable Evil King.
"W-What are you?"
"Believe it or not, I'm just an ordinary student. Look, I'm even wearing the school uniform."
You Xuan smiled and shrugged.
"Frost Monarch Mobius, Evil King Geius, attack directly."
The dual strike of ice and darkness, the intertwined power of the emperors, became a vortex leading straight to hell. The Fiend King covered his head and screamed as he was engulfed by the vortex, bringing the duel to its conclusion.
