Chapter 453: Amazonian Combo
Chapter 453: Amazonian Combo
"Alright, let's rewind the duel and begin again. Now..."
You Xuan turned his head slightly, a playful smile on his face.
"Wouldn't it be better for Kurosaki-senpai to concede now?"
Concede?
Kurosaki hesitated. While he had considered this option, You Xuan's tone, laced with contempt, seemed to belittle him, and his blood began to boil.
"You want me to back down in front of a rookie like you?" he thought angrily.
Even if he conceded now, his opponent could still trigger that annoying trap card's effect by using Amazoness Scouts' self-destruct ability next turn. Additionally, the monsters in the field could be used as tributes to summon more powerful monsters, which would put him at a disadvantage.
"Screw it," he thought. "I'm going all in."
"Concede? Who said anything about conceding?" Kurosaki shouted. "Continue the attack, Blaze Tiger! Target the Amazoness Scout!"
The Blaze Tiger charged forward and lunged at the Scout. Although the Amazoness Warrior had been defeated, the trap card's effect empowered her to counter-attack. Despite the tiger's advantage, it ultimately vanished from the field, disappearing into another dimension, powerless against the trap.
This left Kurosaki with an empty field.
Kurosaki's face turned grim.
However, with his opponent's monster also gone, the field was now clear on both sides.
"Scout's effect activates," You Xuan explained. "When an Amazoness Scout is destroyed in battle and sent to the graveyard, return another 'Amazoness' monster from the graveyard to the hand."
He revealed another Amazoness card from his graveyard.
"I return Amazoness Swords Woman from my graveyard to my hand," You Xuan declared.
Kurosaki: "..."
He felt the urge to spit blood.
Even his underling, witnessing this scene, froze, cautiously looking at Kurosaki. "Big Brother, that unlucky Swords Woman is back in his hand again."
Kurosaki kicked his underling to the ground.
"I saw that coming!" he exclaimed.
Kurosaki gritted his teeth. The Gravekeeper's Spy could counter his attacks with her own effect, causing him damage instead. The reckless attack had cost him a significant portion of his Life Points. On top of that, his attack monster would be banished due to "Amazoness Ambush." He had faced countless powerful enemies and endured numerous challenges on his path, but this was the first time he encountered such a lineup that made him want to spit blood.
Kurosaki waved his hand coldly. "I activate the Magic Card, 'Magical Planters.' I send the Continuous Magic Card, 'United We Stand,' from the field to the graveyard and draw two cards from my deck!" (Original effect)
He drew two cards and quickly drew three more from his hand.
"I set three cards. End of turn."
"My turn, draw," You Xuan said calmly, revealing the card he had just recovered.
"I summon Amazoness Swords Woman," he announced.
[Amazoness Swords Woman: ATK 1500]
"I direct attack Kurosaki-san."
The Swords Woman stepped forward, her sword slicing down. Kurosaki, facing the blade, didn't dare to be careless and immediately responded: "I activate the Set Card, the Quick-Play Spell Card, 'End of the World Flame'! Special Summon two 'Blackfire Tokens' in Defense Position!"
Two flames took on a humanoid form and appeared in front of Kurosaki, blocking the Swords Woman's attack. Her sword slashed down, destroying only one of the black flames.
"During the Battle Phase, I activate the effect of the Continuous Trap Card, 'Amazoness Ambush,' once per turn. Special Summon an Amazoness monster from my hand," You Xuan explained.
He played another card from his hand.
"Special Summon Amazoness Archer."
This time, a pair of young children appeared, their faces innocent yet their hands holding swords and bows, exuding the same valiant spirit as their adult tribal companions.
"The monster Special Summoned by the effect of Amazoness Ambush gains 500 ATK until the end of the turn," You Xuan stated.
[Amazoness Archer: ATK 500 -> ATK 1000]
"Target the other Blackfire Token for an attack."
With a defense score of 0, the Blackfire Token couldn't withstand the assault of the two children. The black flame was pierced like a phantom and vanished from the field.
Yu Xuan: "I set a card. End of turn."
"My turn, draw!"
Kurosaki drew a card, his expression grave and focused, now fully acknowledging the gravity of the opponent before him. He realized that despite his mysterious background, You Xuan could be an unprecedented formidable foe. Furthermore, with his underlings spectating, he couldn't afford to be humiliated under their watchful eyes, even if his opponent spared his soul.
"Magic Card, 'Reversal of Fate'! When your opponent has a Special Summoned monster on their field, and you have no monsters on your field, draw 2 cards from your deck!" (Original Effect) Kurosaki drew two cards, immediately playing one of them.
"Magic Card, 'Angel's Charity,' draw three cards from your deck, then discard two cards from your hand."
After discarding, he immediately revealed a set card.
"Trap Card, 'Fallen Angel's Charity!' Return all cards sent to the Graveyard by magic effects to the hand!" (Original Effect)
You Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Judging from its name, it was clear that this trap card was designed as a counterpart to the famous "Angel's Charity," with its card art featuring a corresponding fallen angel. However, while "Angel's Charity" had been physically released, this card had been forgotten in the corners of the game's history.
He narrowed his eyes, studying Kurosaki.
Initially, he had only intended to gather some information, but now it seemed like this card and I were destined to meet.
"Return the two cards discarded by Angel's Charity back to your hand."
Kurosaki retrieved the two cards sent to the graveyard, quickly replenishing his hand. And after drawing, his eyes lit up.
"Hahaha, here it is! With this card, your pathetic Swordsman is history! I activate the Magic Card, 'Earth Crush'!"
Kurosaki declared.
"Destroy the opponent's monster with the highest Defense!"
The Amazoness Scout only had a Defense of 1100, while the Swordsman boasted 1600. Naturally, the Amazoness Swordsman had the highest Defense.
But You Xuan remained unperturbed, "In that case, I activate Amazoness Scout's effect. By tributing this card, all Amazoness monsters on my field cannot be targeted or destroyed by monster effects, magic, or trap cards during this turn.
Furthermore, this effect can also be activated during your turn."
The Scout sacrificed itself, enveloping the Swordsman in a golden light. The Swordsman roared, seemingly empowered, and with a single slash of her sword, she cleaved the crack spreading towards her in two.
"Tch, so it has that ability," Kurosaki clicked his tongue, his expression growing grimmer as he glared at the Amazoness Swordsman.
Counter armor, Holy destruction, and now it even has a damn resistance aura?
However, he didn't dwell on his missed attack and quickly regrouped to strike again.
"Summon 'Mosa Attacker'!"
[Mosa Attacker: ATK 1850]
"By discarding a card from my hand, Mosa Attacker can Special Summon 'Mosa' from my deck!"
Kurosaki discarded a card to the graveyard and shouted,
"Special Summon the second 'Mosa' from my deck!"
[Mosa: ATK 100]
His underling was taken aback, "But Big Brother, your Mosa King has been removed from play. Even if you summon Mosa again..."
At this moment, Kurosaki smiled triumphantly.
"Heh, I've prepared for this. During my first turn, when I discarded 'Hand Destruction,' the other card I sent to the graveyard was also 'Mosa King'!"
"Two Mosa Kings!"
His underling immediately showed a respectful expression.
"Only one 'Mosa King' can be face-up on the field. But Big Brother already prepared two in the graveyard, meaning you anticipated the possibility of the first one being removed?"
"Big Brother is brilliant!"
The surrounding underlings showered him with more flattery. Kurosaki relished their praise, momentarily forgetting the frustration caused by You Xuan's Amazoness combo.
"Tribute the 'Mosa' on my field to resurrect the fallen Mosa King from the graveyard!"
