Chapter 745: Malevolent Claw
Chapter 745: Malevolent Claw
"I heard that the Tyrant is the ruler of a foreign world and the sovereign of twelve dimensions."
You Xuan spoke.
"He must be far stronger than that, right?"
You Xuan knew that the Tyrant was not at his peak. He had not truly consumed Jito's heart, and his current state was incomplete, lacking even his signature Super Fusion. Furthermore, the power he could exert in reality through Jito as a medium was likely limited, and it was uncertain how much of his prime strength he could manifest.
However, the darkness felt in the Red Dormitory just now was indeed formidable. After all, he was the Tyrant, and even without being at his peak, he was not to be underestimated.
The Tyrant turned to You Xuan, and a hint of vigilance crept into his eyes.
He had dominated twelve dimensions, rarely encountering any formidable opponents along the way. Yet, the power emanating from this person was subtly enough to rival his own.
He instantly recognized this as a once-in-a-lifetime opponent, and even if he were to defeat him, it would not be without considerable effort.
Could there be such a powerful individual in this foreign world? No wonder he had the audacity to seek out Tyrant's Castle; he indeed had some capability.
Over the years, the Tyrant had effortlessly crushed all opponents, but the constant bullying of weaker foes had grown tedious. Now, encountering a worthy adversary, his interest was piqued.
"My turn, draw!" The Tyrant declared, "I activate the Spell Card 'Angel's Alms' and draw three cards from my deck. Then, I discard two cards from my hand."
A Spell Card immediately appeared floating in mid-air.
"Since I discarded the Spell Card 'Compensation Scroll', I draw two cards from my deck." The Tyrant continued, "Then, I offer the 'Demon Club' as a Tribute and perform an Advanced Summon!
Piercing Devil, crush your enemies with your unbreakable claws!
Corrupted Hero Malicious Blade Demon, appear!"
The Demon Club transformed into a black mud pit, and from within, a blue-clad demon emerged, arms crossed, his body covered in dangerous spikes, half his face hidden. His hands bore sharp claws like those of a wolverine, and his exposed mouth held a mocking smile, taunting his prey.
[Corrupted Hero Malicious Blade Demon, ATK 2600]
Although his appearance had changed significantly, based on his ATK and monster effect, this card was likely a blackened version of Golden Blade.
"Corrupted Hero Malicious Blade Demon is an Eight-Star Monster, but in the presence of an opponent's monster, it only requires one Tribute for an Advanced Summon."
The Tyrant played another Spell Card from his hand.
"I activate the Equip Spell 'Malevolent Claw' to increase the equipped monster's ATK by 300 points."
"You're boosting Malicious Blade Demon's power?" You Xuan asked.
"No, not Malicious Blade Demon," the Tyrant said calmly, "Even with an increased ATK, Malicious Blade Demon is far inferior to Silent Magician.
I equip the Malevolent Claw to Magus Warrior Destroyer."
Suddenly, sharp claws appeared on the red-armored warrior's hands, resembling dragon claws forged from adamantium. The Magus Warrior brandished his sword, and a dark force was unleashed from his claws, enveloping him in a dark aura, even his face turning dark.
[Magus Warrior Destroyer, ATK 1600 → ATK 1900]
You Xuan asked, "You're equipping my monster?"
"Indeed," the Tyrant replied coldly, "Now, let's battle. I attack Magus Warrior Destroyer with Corrupted Hero Malicious Blade Demon!"
Malicious Blade Demon's claws struck out, aiming for the Magus Warrior's neck.
The Magus Warrior parried with his sword, but the blade was instantly sliced into pieces by the sharp claws. He tried to block with his shield, but his opponent was too fast, kicking the arm holding the shield, causing the Magus Shield to fly into the air.
Duel King You Xuan discarded the Magic Warrior's sword and shield, leaving him no choice but to counter with the newly acquired Malevolent Claw. But Malicious Blade Demon sneered, laughing as he grabbed his arm with a backhand, and his claws slashed through.
However, with a loud "clang," the two claws clashed, and despite the vast power difference, the Magic Warrior somehow withstood the attack, staggering back two steps without being destroyed. The impact damage still passed through the Magic Warrior and reached You Xuan.
[You Xuan, LP 4000 → 3300]
Strangely, the equipped Malevolent Claw flew off and shot into the air, then, like a hidden weapon, it spun coldly in two circles and shot towards the Silent Magician.
"The additional effect of Malevolent Claw. When the equipped monster is destroyed in battle, return 'Malevolent Claw' to the controller's hand. Then, in addition to the monster engaged in battle, destroy another monster and inflict 600 points of damage to the opposing Duelist."
"I see," You Xuan found this rather interesting, "That's quite creative."
Obviously, this equipment card was meant to enhance the attack power of the user's monster. When the equipped monster is destroyed, it returns to the hand instead of being destroyed, and can also destroy an opponent's monster, making it a pretty good equipment card.
But Tyrant equipped this card to the opponent's monster, although the opponent controlled the equipped monster, the activation of this equipment spell card remained with Tyrant, and the activation was still in Tyrant's Magic Trap Zone. So from the perspective of the equipped monster, the "opponent's" field monster that was destroyed was still referring to You Xuan's field.
As a result, not only did You Xuan have to endure the battle damage, but he would also be destroyed by the monster and take an additional 600 points of effect damage.
Well, that's if this combination is passed.

The Silent Magician remained expressionless, unperturbed by the flying claws heading towards him. He casually waved his staff, and a white magical impact struck the flying claws, sending them flying to the side.
"A beautiful combination, but it's a pity," You Xuan said, "Silent Magician LV8 is unaffected by the opponent's Spell Card effects."
"Tsk."
Tyrant grunted, increasingly feeling the thorniness of his opponent.
"I activate the Spell Card 'Burial Incantation Scroll.' I remove the Spell Cards 'Hero's Legacy,' 'Angel's Alms,' and 'Compensation Scroll' from the Graveyard, and then draw two cards from the deck."
Tyrant drew two cards.
"Then I activate 'Heaven and Earth Scroll.' During the turn an Advanced Summon is performed, draw two cards. But the drawn cards cannot be used this turn, and at least one must be Set if possible."
He drew two more cards, then drew three cards in one breath.
"Set three cards to the back row, my turn is over."
"My turn, draw."
You Xuan said.
"I activate the Spell Card 'Magic Mastery.' I place a Magic Counter on a card on my field that can have Magic Counters placed on it, then add a 'Magic Mastery' from my deck to my hand.
I place a Magic Counter on 'Magus Warrior Destroyer.'"
[Magus Warrior Destroyer, ATK 1600 → 1800]
"Then I activate the effect of Magus Warrior Destroyer. I remove the Magic Counter from it and destroy one of your opponent's back row Spell or Trap Cards!"
