Chapter 383: I'll Come Personally
Rei: "My turn, draw!"
She glanced at the card she drew and quickly shifted her gaze back to "Tethys, the Luminescent Divine Lord" on the opposing field, scoffing.
"Tsk, daring to take my angel from me. Remember this, you won't get away with it."
You Xuan merely smiled silently.
The faint darkness once again gathered around Rei, and a distant, eerie voice echoed in her ear.
"Don't panic. Although Tethys has been taken from us, it's due to the continuous effect of 'Lina the Luminescent Envoy'.
While these elemental envoys are troublesome when facing monsters of their respective attributes, this ability requires continuous spellcasting to maintain."
Rei's eyes narrowed. "You mean...?"
"Indeed."
The eyes within the dark mist narrowed, coldly staring at You Xuan.
"This kid is quite cunning. He only emphasized that the Luminescent Envoy 'can gain control of the opponent's monster' and deliberately obscured the mechanism of this ability.
Hmph, but he can't fool me."
"I see," Rei said, understanding. "'Lina the Luminescent Envoy' requires a continuous effect. Once Lina is defeated or removed from the field in any way, control of Tethys, the Luminescent Divine Lord, will return."
"[Lina the Luminescent Envoy: ATK 500]"
An envoy with only 500 attack points...
Enlightenment flashed in Rei's eyes. This envoy herself was a weakness that could be exploited! She quickly scanned the cards in her hand, and her eyes landed on one particular card as an idea formed in her mind.
"Continuous Spell: 'Heavenly Court'!" Rei declared. "The effect of Heavenly Court can only be activated when there is a Level 1 Angel-Type monster on my field.
Since I have the Level 1 Angel, 'Saint Divine Palmal', on my field, the effect activates!
Once per turn, I can Special Summon an Angel-Type monster from my hand!
A golden ring blossomed with dazzling light, as if an unknown yet powerful angel was about to descend.
As long as the Level 1 Angel remains on the field, she can easily summon her highest-level Angels from her hand each turn. This is the main offensive strategy of Rei's deck—to quickly summon various powerful angels and dominate the field.
"This older sister seems pretty amazing too," Judai couldn't help but comment. "With a Level 1 Angel, no matter how powerful the higher-level Angel is, it can instantly descend?"
Marufuji Ryou, standing beside him, crossed his arms and furrowed his brows, though he remained silent.
"Something's not right. It's not that simple."
At first glance, it seemed like "Lina the Luminescent Envoy" herself was the weak point to exploit, but this was the King of Yellow—how could he be satisfied with just taking control of an opponent's angel?
He must have an even more vicious trick up his sleeve.
Sure enough, You Xuan continued, "Oh, I almost forgot about Heavenly Court. With that continuous spell on the field, you can instantly summon a high-level Angel. Once Lina is defeated and control of Tethys returns to me, I'll be in for a fierce counterattack. My bad."
"Hey, you're catching on pretty quickly," Rei sneered. "Indeed, a duelist who resorts to underhanded tactics is only this capable. This turn, I'll send you on your way."
"Indeed, if I let you pass here, it'll be troublesome. In that case..."
You Xuan smiled strangely and snapped his fingers.
"I activate the Set card, the Quick-Play Spell: 'Quick Summon'!
He pointed at Rei. "That includes your Continuous Spell, 'Heavenly Court'."
"Invalidated!" Judai exclaimed from the side. "As expected of You Xuan, he's truly formidable!"
Marufuji Ryou remained silent but harbored no surprise within. "Figures. I knew it wouldn't be that simple."
"Not only Heavenly Court, but Rei Mackenzie's deck relies heavily on the usage of Spell Cards." Kaiba Seto chimed in with a calm tone. "Her other core card, the Continuous Spell 'Divine Castle of God - Valhalla', also possesses the ability to Special Summon any level of Angel-Type monster once per turn. If that card is also sealed, then half of her usual tactics are crippled."
"As expected of You Xuan," Koyo commented. "His duels always give the impression of striking his opponent's soft underbelly."
"He's a dangerous kid," the cold voice echoed in Rei's ear once more.
"Step aside. I'll deal with him myself."
At these words, Rei's face paled in shock. "Wait, wait a moment!" She sounded flustered. "I can still do this; please, don't... Don't enter my body!"
However, her pleas fell on deaf ears as the black mist surged forward, forcefully entering her body. She opened her mouth, letting out an unintelligible "Ughhh," as she knelt down in pain, clutching her chest.
But soon, the overwhelming darkness propped her body back up, and when she lifted her head again, her eyes reflected only cruelty and malice, as if she had become an entirely different person.
"Let me guess, Tragodia?" You Xuan asked. "Long time no see."
"Hmm, to sense my presence even through this woman's body... You're indeed a dangerous one," Tragodia acknowledged, his entire body erupting with black energy.
". . . Must not be allowed to live."
Manipulating Rei's body, he waved his hand forcefully.
"I activate the Trap, 'Sixth Sense'!" the manipulated Rei declared in a gloomy tone.
"Declare two numbers between one and six. Your opponent rolls a die. If the declared number is rolled, draw that many cards from your Deck. If not, discard the same number of cards from the top of your Deck.
Of course, I declare the numbers five and six."
The die rolled in the air and landed on the ground, spinning for a moment. Rei's hand slowly rose, her eyes glowing with a dangerous crimson light, and a surging darkness erupted from within her.
"Of course, fate has long been predetermined, just like this die roll. Stop!"
The die settled on the number five.
"Draw five cards from your Deck!"
