Chapter 821: The Final Draw
Chapter 821: The Final Draw
"Ahh!"
John raised his arm to block, gritting his teeth as he watched the Mammoth Elephant shatter into pieces on his field.
"Mammoth! Damn it, you destroyed my most important family member."
"I'm fine, John," the Mammoth Elephant replied. But as it spoke, it had already transformed back into Amber and returned to John's back row.
"Fortunately," Jade Pegasus comforted his teammate, "with the power of Jewel Liberation, even that Advanced Summon Ritual Power isn't my match."
Just then, as if to prove him wrong, Yu Xuan smiled and said, "The effect of the Hanged Man in reverse position is that at the end of each of your turns, it destroys one of your opponent's monsters."
"Then, your opponent must take damage equal to the attack power of the destroyed monster."
This was just too much.

"I'll set one last card. My turn is over," Yu Xuan said calmly. "At the end of the turn, the effect of the Hanged Man activates.
Wait, it's not like that," Yu Xuan smiled slyly, "With the Fool on the field, I can freely choose its position, whether upright or reverse."
"Impressive, keep it up."

From start to finish, it seemed like they hadn't even touched their opponent's field—and this wasn't referring to Life Points, but their opponent's monsters. In a Duel, can you believe it if they couldn't even touch a monster? Oh, and they did summon the Fool, but now it's on their side. So, it probably doesn't count.
Yu Xuan activated a set card, the Continuous Trap 'Death's March'.
This turn, his attack was sealed. In the next turn, Yu Xuan's Hanged Man could destroy any monster on their field, and John would be finished.
All the Jewel Beasts, including the Pegasus, instantly turned to stone.
During the opponent's Standby Phase, spin the card to gain its upright or reverse position effect.
"Oh?"
"In Level Restriction B Zone, all Four-Star and above monsters must be in Defense Position," Yu Xuan smiled, "Sorry, but it seems like you can't attack again."
"Damn."
It seemed like they were suggesting, "Why don't we just stop playing this nonsense and beat this guy up instead?"
"Is that so?"
It seemed this was the first time they had ever seen such a punchable human. Even Baker's mouth twitched involuntarily.
The Jewel Beasts were speechless.
When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, add 1 'Jewel Beast' card from your Deck to your back row.
Then he looked up and said firmly, "I don't know."
"Come, Jewel Beast Amethyst Cat!"
Destroy 'Jewel Beast Jade Pegasus' on your field and inflict damage equal to its attack power—which is now 2600!"
John took a deep breath, and then another, and another.
Then, in the next turn, the effect of the Hanged Man activated again, destroying any monster on their field and dealing damage, ending the game.
The entire family exchanged glances, their eyes filled with helplessness and despair.
No one spoke.
Yu Xuan smiled slightly and said no more.
John looked down at his deck, then at the Jewel Beasts who shared his despair. The Jewel Beasts nodded back, indicating their willingness to fight alongside him to the very end.
"How about it? Even with all this, do you still want to summon that Rainbow Dragon you're so obsessed with?"
"So, the effect of the Equip Spell 'Jewel Liberation' equipped to the Pegasus."
Emerald Turtle: "John's Life Points are only at 900."
John's expression also tensed up.
You Xuan narrowed his eyes, observing the boy.
Whether it's a positive or negative effect, it's deadly. At first glance, it seems like the probability of this effect affecting either side is the same. However, at this moment, all eyes in the arena fell upon a certain monster on John's field.
"Huh?"
"It might fail, but no matter if we win or lose, as long as we're together as a family..."
As if calming himself down.
The Pegasus let out an unwilling whinny but still exploded under the relentless power of the Hanged Man.
This might very well be John's last turn.
If it's in the upright position, the opponent cannot perform any monster summons, special summons, or flip summons this turn.
Is this the Duel King's idea of a duel?
Then, he clenched his fist.
"But before that, I activate the Continuous Spell 'Level Restriction B Zone'."
Could it be that You Xuan Boy is deliberately trying to ruin the duel? Can this situation really awaken the Jewel Beast God? John took a deep breath.
John: "..."
"This is bad, John," said the Jade Pegasus in its Jewel state, "With the Hanged Man on the field, at the end of each of his turns, one of us will be destroyed, and John will be forced to take damage equal to our attack points."
John couldn't help but grit his teeth.
So, of course, I have to choose...
"The effect of the upright position." You Xuan laughed, "Now, not only must all your monsters be in defense position and unable to switch to attack mode, but you also cannot perform any summons, special summons, or flip summons this turn."
John: "Ugh!"
A beautiful amethyst appeared in John's back row, the last of the Jewel Beasts yet to make its appearance.
If it's in the reversed position, next turn, you cannot perform any summons, special summons, or flip summons.
[John, LP 3500 → LP 900]
He snapped his fingers. The Trap Card floating in the air didn't even try to rotate; it stayed firmly in the upright position.
However, before John could make any move, You Xuan casually waved his hand.
"My turn, draw!"
As this card was played, everyone in the arena gasped.
Even the hot-tempered Mammoth was already gesturing towards John.
[Ritual Power 0 - Fool, Defense Power 0]
"I don't know. Because Mr. You Xuan's... strength far exceeds my expectations. But..." John clenched his fist, "...I and my Jewels will fight until the very end. We will never give up."
"What do you think?" You Xuan smiled, surveying John, "Can your obsession with the Rainbow Dragon and the burning passion you share with the Jewels break through these heavy barriers?"
Of course, the explosion didn't stop the Pegasus from transforming into a Jade Crystal and appearing in John's back row, continuing to speak.
You Xuan, as if it were the most natural thing, revealed the Continuous Spell once again, the same one John had bounced back to his hand last turn. All the monsters on the field were forced to switch to defense mode, unwillingly.
John: "..."
"I said, I will always trust my deck and my Jewels, no matter what. Even if we lose, we will lose together."
John declared.
"I activate the Magic Card 'Flowing Treasure Scroll'! Draw two cards from the deck, and at the end of the turn, you must send one card to the graveyard. If you don't send a card, during the End Phase, you take 3000 points of damage!" (Original Card) He reached out and placed his hand on the deck.
The last card was drawn.
