Chapter 817: The Jewel Beast
"Alright, my turn is over. It's your move, Mr. You Xuan." John's face lit up with excitement.
"I heard the Duel King employs various Deck strategies. I wonder what approach he'll take this time. I can't wait to see it!"
"Be careful not to get instantly defeated, John," reminded the Jewel Beast Emerald Turtle.
"Hahaha, don't worry, it'll be fine," John assured, giving it a thumbs-up.
"It's an honor to face the legendary Jewel Beasts," said You Xuan with a smile, being polite.
Well, the real-life Jewel Beasts are a bit underwhelming, though.
"My turn, draw!" You Xuan declared. "This time, I've also prepared a new Deck I haven't used before. Let's see how it goes.
【Jewel Beast Amber Mammoth, Attack Power: 1700】

A red Jewel Beast appeared in his Spell and Trap Zone, hovering above the field. But as soon as the red jewel was placed, it burst into a radiant red glow.
"Alright, sorry, Emerald Turtle," John said. "I destroy 'Jewel Beast Emerald Turtle' and negate and destroy the activation of 'Hypergravity Net'!"
"Please, Mammoth!" John called out. "Go, Jewel Beast Amber Mammoth, attack the face-down monster!"
The Trap Card shattered, and the gravitational bonds were instantly broken, the gravity waves dissipating without a trace.
As the Trap flipped, the hypergravity waves surged across the field. The mammoth charged forward but only made it halfway before feeling the gravity intensify a thousandfold, its steps sinking into the ground, unable to take another step.
【Jewel Beast Emerald Turtle, Defense Power: 2000】
"When a Jewel Beast is destroyed, it doesn't go to the Graveyard," John explained. "Instead, it turns into a jewel and is placed in your own Spell and Trap Zone!"
A green jewel appeared on the field, and as it shattered, a dazzling green light burst forth. A celestial horse with white jade-like hair flapped its angelic wings, circling in the air before gracefully landing.
"Ah, yes," John chuckled. "After all, today is a rare opportunity; we can't afford to relax. Everyone must bring their A-game!"
The Emerald Turtle's body seemed to burn with green fire, and within the flames, it transformed into a blazing cannonball, smashing head-on into the Hypergravity Net Trap.
"You're going all-out from the start, John," the celestial horse remarked.
Indeed, the next moment, John revealed his countermeasure: "I activate the face-down card, Counter Trap 'Jade Miracle'! When a monster effect, Spell, or Trap Card is activated, I can destroy one 'Jewel Beast' card on my field to negate and destroy that activation!"
"Leave it to us!"
First, a face-down monster is placed in defense position."
"As long as this Trap remains on the field, neither player's monsters with 1800 or more Attack Power can attack!"
【Jewel Beast Jade Pegasus, Attack Power: 1800】
"No problem!"
An extraordinary tree sprouted from the ground, its trunk a deep brown and sturdy. Jewel Beasts hung from its branches, their fruits shimmering and dazzling, reflecting a seven-colored rainbow at the tree's peak.
A radiant piece of amber appeared on John's field, emitting a dazzling light. The tall mammoth emerged from the glow, letting out a deep roar and swinging its long trunk.
"Then, I'll set another face-down card in the back row. My turn is over."
John drew from his Deck and selected a Jewel Beast card.
"I activate the face-down card," You Xuan said, flipping it over. "Continuous Trap: Hypergravity Net. Placing it in the Spell and Trap Zone is a common trait of the Jewel Beasts. When any Jewel Beast is destroyed, instead of being sent to the Graveyard like regular monsters, they turn into jewel crystals and are placed in the Duelist's Spell and Trap Zone."
Yu Xuan placed a face-down monster on the field.

Yu Xuan's tone carried a fearless acceptance of death.
"You really love these tactics that prevent your opponent from attacking, huh?"
The new spirit, whom Yu Xuan called "Eye," floated beside him and chimed in.
"Alright, now it's time to activate the effect of 'Treasure Beast Jade Pegasus'!" John declared, "When Jade Pegasus is successfully Summoned or Special Summoned, you can place any 'Treasure Beast' from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard as a Continuous Spell in your Spell and Trap Zone!"
The mammoth let out a mighty roar and charged towards Yu Xuan's face-down monster at full speed, its massive body stirring up a cloud of yellow dust as it ran. Its footsteps seemed to make the entire ancient ruins tremble.
John's Ruby Beast and Emerald Turtle, which had just returned to the field, suddenly cracked open, and the small and adorable Ruby Beast, along with the recently returned Emerald Turtle, emerged from the Treasure Beasts and transformed back into their original forms, landing on the field side by side.
"But isn't the purpose of this Duel to awaken the potential of our opponent and revive that powerful Plate?" asked John. "Is it really okay to make it so they can't Duel at all?"
[Treasure Beast - Ruby Beast, Defense Power: 300]
"And you're using a new Deck, which makes it even more thrilling!" John clenched his fist. "Alright, it's my turn! Draw!"
"As long as the Jade Tree remains in the Spell and Trap Zone, each time a Treasure Beast monster is placed in the Spell and Trap Zone, place one Jewel Token on this card!"
John searched his Deck and revealed a card.
"And now, it's time to summon my new family member!" John revealed a monster from his hand. "Come forth, Treasure Beast Amber Mammoth!"
The green-shelled turtle on the ground lifted its head and patted its chest with its small arms. "Use my body, John!"
"Here comes Treasure Beast Ruby Beast!"
In the animation, these Treasure Beasts were a testament to the bond between John and the beasts. Even if they were destroyed, they wouldn't leave the field, always by John's side, like a family to him.
Gui Ping: "Oh, there it is! Yu Xuan's Gravity Net!"
"It's fine," Yu Xuan smiled. "I know what I'm doing. If a Duelist can't handle this level of difficulty, how will they ever awaken the Rainbow Dragon?"
"Activate the Continuous Spell, 'Jade Tree'!"
"And at this moment, I also activate the Continuous Trap, 'Treasure Gathering'!" John declared, "Once per turn, if a Treasure Beast on your field is destroyed by battle or card effect, Special Summon one 'Treasure Beast' from your Deck!"
"Treasure Beast Jade Pegasus!"
As he spoke, the turtle transformed into a green emerald, and a beautiful crystal appeared in John's back row, shimmering with a dazzling glow.
"It's your turn to shine!"
John revealed a card from his hand.
The Treasure Beasts responded in unison.
"Leave it to me, John!" The mammoth brandished its sharp tusks and let out a mighty roar.
Yu Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Wait, I don't play Treasure Beasts often, but how did this monster get Summoned? Isn't the effect of Ruby Beast supposed to Special Summon Treasure Beasts from the back row to the front row only when it is successfully Special Summoned itself?
John: "The effect of Ruby Beast allows it to Special Summon as many 'Treasure Beast' monsters from the Spell and Trap Zone as possible when this card is placed in the Spell and Trap Zone!" (Original Effect)
Yu Xuan rested his chin on his hand.
So, there are differences in the animation for Treasure Beasts? I don't remember that at all.
