Chapter 437: The Descending Demon God
Chapter 437: The Descending Demon God
"Attack of the Mirror Knight Token."
The Judge's voice was calm yet chilling.
"Continue the attack on 'Cyber Twin Dragon'."
The second Mirror Knight, its longsword reflecting a cold light like a mirror, fearlessly charged at the Twin Dragons.
"But the Cyber Twin Dragons are protected by the effect of 'Dimension Guardian' and shouldn't be destroyed," Keihei said, perplexed.
Even if the Mirror Knight could also use its shield to block the attack, both sides had their own means of preservation, so wouldn't this attack be meaningless and completely futile?
"No," Kaiba said in a low voice, "it's coming."
Keihei still didn't understand, but the battle on the field had already begun. The Cyber Twin Dragons breathed out a dazzling flame as a counterattack, the bright light surging towards the knights. The knights raised their shields to block the attack.
The shields firmly withstood the dragons' light beam, shattering into pieces under the powerful strike. At the same time, the overwhelming impact ran across the knights' armor and headed straight for the Judge.
However, at that moment, the eye in the Judge's back field suddenly opened. In an instant, it was like a black hole had appeared, its infinite gravitational pull drawing in the aftermath of the impact and the blazing fire, absorbing them into the eye.
Keihei suddenly realized, "He didn't activate the effect of the Mirror Knight when he attacked."
The Judge also spoke, "I didn't activate the effect of the Mirror Knight and didn't copy the attack power of the Cyber Twin Dragon. Therefore, in this round of attacks, the Mirror Knight itself only has an attack power of 500 points from the Orichalcum Barrier.
After the damage calculation, I used the shield in the Mirror Knight's hand as a substitute for destruction, so the Mirror Knight will not be destroyed in battle.
However, this battle itself will inflict 2300 points of battle damage on me."
As he spoke, he pointed to the back field where the single eye was currently absorbing and digesting the energy. The energy and flames had completely disappeared into the opened eye, and the Orichalcum eye closed again, seemingly digesting the energy.
Last round, when Killer Tomato self-destructed, although Chidora absorbed some of the damage, it was then removed from the field by the effect of "Absolute Zero," so the absorbed damage should have been nullified.
Now it had just absorbed 2300 points of damage anew.
"And I still have six 'Mirror Knight Tokens' on the field that haven't attacked this turn."
The Judge raised his hand.
"All Mirror Knight Tokens, attack 'Cyber Twin Dragon'."
The knights launched a fierce assault, six Mirror Knights in a row, drawing their swords one after another.
With their attack power being zero, they could be considered powerless in the world of Duel Monsters, and they were basically cannon fodder in front of the Cyber Twin Dragons. But the knights fearlessly charged forward, undaunted by the shining dragons. Their shields clearly reflected the image of the twin dragons.
Like moths drawn to a flame, the six knights rushed forward. Each attack was accompanied by a crisp sound as a shield shattered in a knight's hand.
This continued until all the shields of the Mirror Knights on the field had been blasted to pieces by the evolution flame.
"Finally, 'Ritual Mirror Knight's Call'." The Judge waved his hand, ordering the Ritual Monster to join the self-destruct sequence as well. "Attack 'Cyber Twin Dragon'."
【Ritual Mirror Knight's Call, ATK: 500】
This Ritual Monster also had a zero attack stat, clearly not suited for direct combat. But upon receiving its master's command to charge forward, it rushed out, the entire flying prism looking like someone was throwing a refrigerator forward with all their might.
The Cyber Twin Dragons opened their mouths to counterattack. Unlike the tokens it had summoned, Ritual Mirror Knight's Call didn't have a shield to use as a substitute for destruction, and the fiery beam of light shattered the prism in midair.
"When Ritual Mirror Knight's Call is destroyed, all Mirror Knight Tokens are also destroyed.
Undoubtedly, the Judge was accumulating damage for Chidora.
In the end, Chidora would crash into the Cyber Twin Dragons, triggering its final ability. Chidora's exit from the field would then activate its last will, special summoning Silonnos from the deck—an invincible puppet capable of absorbing all damage.
"As expected," You Xuan muttered, seeing the Judge's final command unfold.
"Battle!" the Judge declared. "Orichalcum-Chidora, attack the 'Cyber Twin Dragons'!"
"Indeed," Kaiba acknowledged, having also seen through the opponent's strategy.
"It's coming," he said gravely.
Yugi, Joey, and Tea all tensed, finally understanding the impending catastrophe.
It was the same devastating attack that had taken out Tea; the ultimate strike of the Orichalcum's most powerful demon god!
Chidora's suicidal charge would serve as the final trigger, and when it was destroyed by the counterattack of the Twin Dragons, that thing would arrive. With all the damage it had accumulated thus far...
"You Xuan!" Yugi exclaimed, unable to contain his worry as he recalled Tea's valiant stand against the formidable demon.
However, You Xuan remained composed, his expression resolute as he continued to counter each move.
"I activate a face-down Trap Card—"
"It's useless, no matter what you do," the Judge interrupted. "The third barrier has already been activated, rendering all magic and trap effects ineffective against my monsters.
Your traps cannot stop Chidora's attack."
"I know," You Xuan replied. "But what I'm targeting is not your monster, but my own. Trap Card: 'Subspace Matter Transporter,' remove one of my monsters from play until the end of this turn.
I remove the 'Cyber Twin Dragons' from the game!"
A ripple of otherworldly energy washed over the field as a complex mechanical transporter appeared on You Xuan's side. With a warping of air, akin to the opening of a black hole, the twin-headed mechanical dragon was sucked into the transporter and vanished from sight.
"Oh, that's right!" Yugi exclaimed. "Even if he can't affect the opponent's monsters, he can remove his own. This way, Chidora can't self-destruct, and the summoning of Silonnos fails!"
Although You Xuan could have activated the trap earlier to avoid the mirror knights' suicidal attacks, doing so would have left him vulnerable to their assaults.
While the mirror knights themselves had zero attack power, the barrier enhanced each of them with 500 attack points. With eight knights, the Ritual Mirror Knight's Call, and Chidora, they could easily deplete You Xuan's life points in one fell swoop.
However, by activating the trap at the moment Chidora initiated its attack, You Xuan only had to endure the negligible 1000 points of damage from Chidora's assault. If the self-destruct failed, all the accumulated damage would be rendered meaningless.
Chidora lunged at You Xuan, who raised his Duel Disk to block the impact, staggering back slightly.
[You Xuan: 3800 LP → 2800 LP]
"You little—" The Judge scowled, his expression darkening. "You've seen through my tactics once again."
"Indeed," You Xuan acknowledged. "With Chidora losing its target and unable to self-destruct, Silonnos cannot be summoned, and your subsequent offense will be disrupted."
He paused, his expression turning grim.
"But I am the God of Ending, the bringer of judgment upon this world, and such tactics are well within my calculations.
I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card, 'Mysterious Chinese Pot' from my hand!
By sacrificing my own monsters, I absorb their attack strength as life points!"
