Chapter 834: Waiting Here
Chapter 834: Waiting Here
Lava Demon Ba Ye's lips curled into a sneer.
In the world, countless Duelists and researchers were studying the decks of the Duel King. Every deck he used, every strategy he employed, would be scrutinized and analyzed by others.
And anyone who has ever tried to understand the Duel King would undoubtedly recognize this monster—
—Lava Demon.
The legendary big treasure that once devoured the invincible Orichalcum Snake God and saved the world from the brink of destruction.
Of course, as a bystander watching that match, it was quite amusing. Especially when the opponent, after exerting all their efforts to summon a powerful monster that embodied their soul, would watch in dismay and anger as the big treasure devoured it whole, bringing genuine joy to countless Duelists.
Well, that is, as long as you weren't on that battlefield.
"You just declared an attack, right?" You Xuan asked.
This % novel's latest chapter (segment) is available at 6>@/9 Book Bar{First; Release,> Please go to Six! Nine: Book< Bar{to: see!
"Huh?" You Xuan tilted his head, "Not choosing?"
"I activate the Magic Card 'Double Door'. By removing the card with the same name from the Graveyard and excluding it from the game, I draw two cards from my deck." You Xuan took the other Double Door card that automatically left the Graveyard.
"Trap Card 'Embracing Sacrifice Bomb'.
An indescribable power awakens from the boiling chaos, as lava converges into a raging torrent. A colossal mass of solidified lava slowly rises amidst the scorching waves. Accompanying it are the red-hot iron railings, forged by the fires of hell, that enclose Ba Ye, trapping him within the cage.
Ba Ye grits his teeth.
Ba Ye's eyes widen in shock.
A sinister glint flashes in Ba Ye's eyes.
"The second card I sent to the Graveyard along with 'Devilhound Octoguard' was this other 'Double Door'. So, I draw two more cards from my deck."
Your Life Points are almost depleted, and enduring another burn effect from Lava Demon would be fatal. The simplest and most direct way to get rid of Lava Demon is to sacrifice it."
Or, you could choose to take 1000 points of damage yourself.
Eye grumbled, but soon after, his wide eyes narrowed into a crescent shape.
"Damn it! This Life Points is enough!" Ba Ye shouted angrily, "I activate the Magic Card 'Demon's Fitting Room'! I pay 800 Life Points to reveal the top four cards of my deck. Among them, 3-star or lower Normal Monsters are Special Summoned to the field, and the rest are returned to the deck!"
What followed was even more infuriating.
"To be lured by such amateurish acting, I'd say you're just a street performer."
"So, the Volcano Queen I just sacrificed is back in my Graveyard." You Xuan said calmly, "Then, I activate the Magic Card 'Resurrection of the Dead', discarding a card from my hand to return a Monster Card from the Graveyard to my hand.
"You've been waiting for me here all along."
Ba Ye's eyes were bloodshot, and he was almost yelling.
Ba Ye hadn't forgotten that Lava Demon would burn itself for 1000 Life Points at the start of each turn.
He felt less like he was dueling and more like a dog chained to a post.
Success or death, but with the opponent's deck type, his Life Points were as good as gone.
Moreover, Sky Knight was already doomed. Even if he didn't sacrifice it to Volcano Queen now, it would still be devoured by Lava Demon next turn.
With only 400 LP left, Ba Ye would be burned to death by Volcano Queen if he didn't feed it a new monster as fodder next turn.
However, it seemed that his troubles didn't end there.
"Sacrifice your 'Volcano Queen' and 'Divine Dominator' once again, and Special Summon this powerful monster to your field.
"Too late!" Eye said triumphantly, "Your attack declaration has already been made, and I heard it! Haha, completely hooked by my exquisite acting."
"Disappear, Lava Demon!"
"Finally, I set a card and end my turn." You Xuan said.
Ba Ye took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said coldly.
"But even so, your troubles aren't over yet." It eyed the newly summoned Thunder Dragon with ill intent, "As long as Forced Termination is in play, no matter how powerful the summoned monster is, it can't attack.
Literally, being locked up.
I discard Scholar Sprite from my hand and return Volcano Queen from the Graveyard to my hand."
"Damn it! He sacrificed the big treasure."
But he should have realized this earlier.
Eye chimed in, "The choice is yours, isn't it? How kind."
The two in front of him stood just outside the range of the trap, humiliating and taunting him mercilessly. He was powerless, and the urge to tear them apart grew stronger, but he was chained to this spot, unable to do anything except bark at them.
"No need for your nonsense!"
Ba Ye opened his mouth but couldn't speak.
"Then, I sacrifice Little Angel and Lava Demon, and perform an Advanced Summon—
He blurted out without thinking, "Wait, let me think."
The trap in the backfield, meant for absolute defense, was blown to bits. The big eyes changed color abruptly, "Ahhh, you! You actually got rid of Forced Termination!"
"Inflict 1000 points of damage to the opponent's Life Points."
He suddenly had a strange feeling.
Ba Ye: "."
You Xuan glanced at the floating eye beside him and smiled.
You Xuan drew two cards, paused, and then slowly raised his head, revealing a smile with a hint of danger to Ba Ye.
The Volcano Queen, well-fed and content, let out a satisfied burp. Baiye couldn't shake the feeling that the creature even smiled at him.
As he watched his opponent leisurely add the big treasure to their hand, Baiye felt his frustration reach new heights.
He knew what was coming, but he was powerless to stop it, powerless to protect his angels.
He paused, his words carrying a deep meaning.
[Little Angel, Defense Power 900]
[Baiye Masumi, Life Points 2200 → 1200]
"Damn it!" Baiye exclaimed.
You Xuan drew a card and immediately revealed one from his hand.
"My turn, draw!" he declared. "At this moment, the effect of the Lava Demon activates."
The Lava Demon's effect dealt 1000 points of damage.
You Xuan casually activated his last Set card.
"The Lava Demon is my ace, capable of effortlessly devouring the most powerful monsters through sacrifice and inflicting continuous damage on the opponent's field."
"However, I can't attack due to the Continuous Trap 'Forced Termination'."
But he immediately sensed something amiss.
He knew he had made the right decision.
"Your spirit is so annoying!"
The Volcano Queen, granted permission by him, grinned widely and devoured the Holy Sky Knight with her gaping maw.
The superheated flames instantly melted the Sky Knight, reducing it to a fireball that vanished within the Volcano Queen's belly.
Lava poured down, scalding Baiye.
Baiye, already on edge, became increasingly agitated.
"Hey! Who are you calling a bad actor?"
[Divine Machine Thunder Dragon, Attack Power 2900]
The Lava Demon let out a low hum, and the energy it released transformed into a white light, gathering to summon the white Thunder Dragon!
"I choose to send 'Sky Knight Pegasus' to the Graveyard."
Lava churned, flames erupted, and the surging inferno blazed. In the depths of the lava, an endless fury raged, and the scorching magma flowed freely.
"I'm done here."
But all he could do was watch.
He knew he had to find a way to make Baiye draw four cards.
"Hahaha, I told you, I'm not like those street duelists. Underestimating me will have consequences."
"When an opponent's monster is Xyz Summoned, all monsters on the opponent's field in Attack Position are destroyed. Furthermore..."
[Divine Machine Thunder Dragon!!]
"You think I didn't consider this?"
"The Lava Demon is my Summon!"
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell 'Trap Removal'! It can destroy a Trap Card on the field! I destroy the Continuous Trap 'Forced Termination'!"
Baiye scolded, his voice filled with frustration.
Baiye: "..."
My soul, my ace! The power of annihilation and rebirth!
He knew what was coming.
The Volcano Queen grunted and transformed into a ball of molten lava, dragging the innocent Divine Dominator alongside her into the flames, turning them both to ashes.
Baiye's mouth twitched.
"Destroy him, destroy him!"
The Xyz Summoned monster declared its attack, and Baiye watched helplessly as the Thunder Dragon prepared to strike. He looked at You Xuan and finally spoke dryly.
Baiye subconsciously swallowed, and the smile on his opponent's face seemed increasingly sinister.
A smile with a playful undertone, a deadly threat.
The intention was clear. No matter what you Summon next, my Volcano Queen will devour it. It's like a well-planned scheme.
With the Volcano Queen in hand, either don't Summon and give up the struggle, or Summon and let the Lava Couple feast on it.
"Direct attack from the Divine Machine Thunder Dragon!"
The logic was sound, but when he saw his Sky Knight being devoured, he couldn't help but feel...
The eyes continued to mock: "It's your turn, the end of life. Enjoy your last turn."
Baiye's heart skipped a beat at the question.
"My turn, draw a card."
You Xuan ignored it and smiled.
[Baiye Masumi, Life Points 1200 → 400]
You Xuan made a 'come on' gesture: "Here, choose."
However, just as the massive Volcano Queen rose, gathering strength for a full-power strike, You Xuan's mouth suddenly curved upwards.
The Lava Couple tag-teaming again? It's not over yet?
Facing this purely self-isolating opponent, the value of Life Points was more precious than ever.
1000 points of damage was no small matter, and he couldn't afford to take it lightly.
Baiye took deep breaths.
It was like thanking them for the hospitality.
If there was anything more frustrating, it was: "At the End Phase, the 'Volcano Queen' on your field also activates its effect." You Xuan explained, "At the End Phase of your turn, you must Tribute one monster on your field as a Tribute to the 'Volcano Queen'.
This Thunder Dragon looks quite tasty, hehe. Next turn, let the Volcano Queen devour it immediately!"
You Xuan laughed but said nothing.
The Divine Machine Thunder Dragon exploded, and the fireball released swallowed Baiye Masumi.
[Baiye Masumi, Life Points 400 → 0]
