Chapter 797: The Sacrifice of the Prism

Chapter 797: The Sacrifice of the Prism

"Beast Swordsman Lasso, direct attack!" The ferocious Beast Swordsman warrior roared, his body engulfed in flames as he leaped towards You Xuan's empty field like a starving tiger.

But You Xuan remained calm. "I activate the Set card, Continuous Trap 'Flame Wall'. When your opponent declares a direct attack, you can activate its effect by removing a Flame Beast monster from your Graveyard from play, thus negating the attack of your opponent's monster."

You Xuan took a Flame Beast monster card from his Graveyard. "Last turn, one of the two Flame Beasts sent to the Graveyard by the effect of the Continuous Spell 'Volcano Wall' is removed from play. This negates the attack of 'Beast Swordsman Lasso'."

Flames erupted from the ground, forming a burning barrier in front of You Xuan. The Beast Swordsman's powerful attack collided with the fiery wall, causing it to let out a miserable howl and stagger backward.

Melo's expression grew even gloomier. Although You Xuan didn't mention it, he boldly guessed that this Continuous Trap also had no "once per turn" restriction. As long as there were Flame Beast resources in the Graveyard, no matter how many times he attacked, this flame barrier would block his attacks.

The Continuous Spell "Volcano Wall" sent Flame Beast resources to the Graveyard each turn, while also dealing burn damage to Melo. While the Volcano Flame Cannon bombarded his monsters, the ammunition it consumed was also converted into energy for the "Flame Wall".

The Beast Swordsman also had a way to deal with backrow cards. The ace of his deck, "Beast Swordsman Caesar", could destroy two cards upon its Summon, and its key material, "Beast Swordsman Gun Fighter", had an effect that allowed it to destroy a backrow card when Summoned.

However, the problem was that these cards needed to be Summoned first.

Without a successful battle, all his Beast Swordsman cards were useless, and he couldn't deploy "Gun Fighter" or Summon "Caesar". Even if "Gun Fighter" was drawn, it wouldn't help, as it could only destroy backrow cards through the effect of a Beast Swordsman, and a Normal Summon wouldn't work.

Without a way to destroy backrow cards, Melo's lineup was a real headache.

Melo scoffed. "Well, I guess that's that for now. I'll Set a card and end my turn."

"My turn. The Continuous Trap requires a cost to maintain. Each turn, during the Standby Phase, if I don't pay 500 Life Points, this card is destroyed. I'll pay the cost to keep the Flame Wall alive." You Xuan activated the trap, and a burst of fiery energy enveloped him, taking away some of his Life Points.

[You Xuan, LP 3500 → LP 3000]

"Be careful when playing with fire," Melo said meaningfully. "While it can ravage your opponent's field, it can also affect you."

You Xuan smiled. "Thanks for the reminder. I'll be careful. But now, it's your turn to worry."

He waved his hand, activating the effect of the Continuous Spell 'Volcano Wall'. "Once per turn, send the top three cards of your deck to the Graveyard. Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the number of Flame Beast monsters x500 points."

You Xuan drew three more cards and whistled lightly. "Haha, not bad. Two more Flame Beasts, for a total of 1000 points of damage."

Melo hummed. Normally, Life Points were of little concern when facing a Volcano deck, but now, every drop of Life Points was a precious resource that couldn't be allowed to be burned away.

"I activate a Trap Card!" Melo declared. "Trap Card 'Damage Conversion'! During the turn this card is activated, the effect damage you take is halved! Additionally, at the end of this turn, Special Summon 'Phantom Tokens' in Defense Position on your field, equal to the number of times you took effect damage this turn!"

Two Flame Beast shadows appeared on the field, transforming into fiery snakes and slithering into You Xuan's backrow Spell Cards.

Continuous Magic unleashed a torrent of flames, sweeping forward like a whirlwind, and blasting through Melo's field.

"Damage Conversion effect, halving the damage!"

Melo shouted, and as he spoke, a fire snake coiled around him.

【Melo, LP 3000 → LP 2500】

"Hmm, all burn effects this turn will be halved, and you'll also get a free Token. Not a very cost-effective move, so I'll hold off for now."

You Xuan shrugged nonchalantly and smiled.

"Next, the effect of the Continuous Magic 'Flame Cannon'.

Discard a Flame Beast with an Attack of 500 or less from your hand to destroy your opponent's monster."

He revealed the Volcano Shell he had searched for last turn.

"Discard the 'Volcano Shell' from your hand to load the Flame Cannon with ammunition.

Fire!"

The burning flames were infused into the cannon once more, and with the energy charged, the fiery artillery blasted out. Sword Beast Lasso had no chance to defend and was pierced through the chest, exploding into fragments.

"And once more, the effect of 'Volcano Shell' from the graveyard," You Xuan said calmly, "Once per turn, while in the graveyard, pay 500 Life Points. Add one 'Volcano Shell' from your Deck to your hand."

【You Xuan, LP 3000 → LP 2500】

You Xuan revealed the last Volcano Shell he had searched for from his Deck and added it to his hand.

Melo watched, his face expressionless, but his mind was racing.

Although the opponent's strategy of sealing attacks and staying inside their formation like a turtle shell was a headache, it seemed that maintaining this strategy also required a cost in Life Points. If he could gain an advantage in the LP battle, there might still be a chance.

"I'll Set a card and end my turn," You Xuan said.

"In the End Phase, the effect of Damage Conversion!" Melo declared, "Since I took effect damage this turn, I Special Summon one Phantom Token!"

【Phantom Token, 0 DEF】

"My turn, draw!"

Melo exclaimed.

"It seems you've studied the power of Beast Swordsman, and you might think that by sealing my attacks, I'd be helpless. I must admit, you have an interesting strategy, Duel King.

This tactic has indeed caused me trouble, but it's not insurmountable. I'll show you now that even without battle, the true power of Beast Swordsman can be unleashed!

I'll use the Phantom Token on the field as a Tribute and perform an Advanced Summon! Appear—

—Level 5, Elemental Hero Prism Knight!"

You Xuan: "?"

The sudden appearance of an Elemental Hero card in the opponent's hand was a bit jarring, but what surprised You Xuan was not this, but the fact that Prism Knight required a Tribute.

Isn't Prism Knight a Level 4 monster?

【Elemental Hero Prism Knight, ATK 1700】

Seeing the dazzling crystal-like Elemental Hero, You Xuan suddenly remembered.

Oh, right, Prism Knight did appear in the anime, in Decade's hand. And in the anime, it was indeed a Level 5 monster that required a Tribute, but its Attack and effect were the same as the real card.

As he thought of this, You Xuan looked at the Prism Knight and couldn't help but show a disgusted expression.

This was the weakest monster he had ever seen in two lifetimes.

But this look of disgust, when seen by Melo, felt like an insult.
