Chapter 859: Battle Unsuitable for Minors
Chapter 859: Battle Unsuitable for Minors
"My turn, draw!"
Reiko Ayegumo braced herself, determined to put up her best performance against her dream idol.
She needed to act like a love-struck maiden!
"I activate the Equip Spell Card, 'Kiss of Cupid'!"
It was a magical card with a heart-shaped background, featuring a cute, blonde Cupid holding a heart-tipped arrow.
"By equipping 'Kiss of Cupid' to 'Love's Maiden,' I attack 'Black Magic Artisan' with her!" Reiko declared.
A long-skirted beauty, holding a large bouquet, rushed forward in a dreamy, pink background, "Master Magician~"
Black Magic Artisan was taken aback, and the beauty suddenly tripped him, causing him to fall flat on the ground.
[Black Magic Artisan, Defense Power: 1800]
[Love's Maiden, Attack Power: 400]
[Reiko, LP: 3200 → 1800]
The long-skirted beauty stood up, tears in her eyes, "How cruel. Are you rejecting my feelings, Master Magician?"
The magician was deeply moved and quickly helped her up. The girl immediately smiled and, leaning on him, they walked back to the other side of the field, chatting and laughing.
Spectators: ". . ."
Is this even allowed?
Reiko smiled, explaining, "When a monster equipped with 'Kiss of Cupid' battles an opponent's monster with a 'Maiden Token' and takes damage, it gains control of that monster."
"That's a clever move," Torikage Yuxuan commented, "But Black Magic Artisan is in Defense Mode, and its form cannot be changed during the Battle Phase. Even if you gain control, you can't make it attack me."
Reiko pouted.
Indeed, she had lost more than half her Life Points to gain control of the opponent's monster, but couldn't attack due to Black Magic Artisan's rare special effect, allowing it to switch to Defense Mode once per turn.
Otherwise, using this combination, she could have dealt significant damage to the opponent after gaining control.
Reiko's heart sank.
Could this have been part of the opponent's strategy?
"My Battle Phase ends," Reiko said, "I'll set two cards face-down in the back row, and my turn is over."
"My turn, draw."
Torikage drew a card, glanced at it, added it to his hand, and then played another card.
"I Normal Summon 'Mana Guide'!"
A green-robed female magician appeared on the field, her sacred robe adorned with ancient inscriptions, and her beauty exuded a divine aura.
[Mana Guide, Attack Power: 1700]
Although it was unusual for a female monster to be charmed by Love's Maiden, this was not the era of the Kingdom of Bluffs, and such occurrences were still possible according to the Battle rules.
One could say that Love's Maiden was indiscriminate, captivating both genders and even different races. Even dragons or demons would fall under her spell.
The only question was how Love's Maiden's small frame could withstand such a charm.
"I activate the Spell Card, 'Angel's Benevolence'!" Torikage declared, "Draw three cards, then discard two cards from your hand."
Torikage discarded two cards from his hand into the Graveyard.
"At this moment, Mana Guide's effect activates.
When Mana Guide is on the field, each time a Spell Card is activated, it gains two Magic Tokens."
[Mana Guide, Magic Tokens: 2]
"Then, I activate the Spell Card 'Magic Control' again. Place another Magic Token on the Continuous Spell 'Magic Tribe Barrier' on the field, and add the last 'Magic Control' from my deck to my hand.
"I activate the Ritual Spell, Advanced Ritual!" Yu Xuan declared, "I'll send a Normal Monster from my Deck to the Graveyard as a Tribute for the Ritual, until the total Levels match the Ritual Monster in my hand. Then, I'll Ritual Summon that Ritual Monster!"
Yu Xuan's Deck automatically searched, and he drew a card.
"I send the 1-Star Normal Monster, Skeleton, from my Deck to the Graveyard as a Tribute for the Ritual Summon! Behold, the Sacrificial Fiend emerges—
—Sacrificial Fiend!"
A massive darkness rose, and within it, a colossal and hideous monster took form. A single eye suddenly opened, and even the surrounding darkness seemed to spread outward in that moment of unleashed power.
[Sacrificial Fiend, ATK 0]
The appearance of this monster caused a stir on the field.
"Sacrificial Fiend!"
"Mr. Bekkas' signature monster, the father of Duel Monsters, even gave Mr. Yuugi Mutou a tough battle!"
Well, as a Duelist, seeing a monster exuding such an evil aura that it could drive one insane might cause physical discomfort.
Especially when the opponent is an immature loli.
Reiko Ayegumo took a step back in fear, "Sacrificial Fiend..."
"Don't worry, it might look scary, but..." Yu Xuan reassured her with a gentle smile.
Reiko blinked and cautiously asked, "Really?"
"Read the original at 9@book/bar!"
Yu Xuan smiled, "Actually, it's quite scary."
Reiko: "..."
Yu Xuan continued without hesitation, "I activate the effect of Sacrificial Fiend. Once per turn, I can absorb an opponent's monster on the field as an Equip Card for this card."
He mercilessly curled his finger.
"Absorb Love-struck Maiden."
Reiko: "!"
And so, everyone witnessed a scene that could almost be described as R-18.
The Sacrificial Fiend opened its body, releasing a vast darkness. The darkness, like tentacles, captured the beautiful maiden, who struggled helplessly, letting out a pitiful scream. But she was bound by the tentacles, forcibly pulled into the darkness, and her body merged with the Sacrificial Fiend.
The maiden stopped struggling, her pretty face streaked with tears as she accepted this tragic fate.
Spectators: "..."
Shoutarou Marutou blushed, "No wonder you're the Master of the Yellow Dormitory, with such a cruel move..."
"Well, it's a Duel after all," Mitate coughed, "In a Duel, you must do your best. If you go soft just because your opponent is pretty, you're not a qualified Duelist."
Though he said this, Mitate couldn't help but take another glance at the field.
While it's true, only the Master of the Yellow Dormitory could execute such a brutal move without batting an eye.
Mr. Bekkas really went all out with his monster's design, creating such a disturbing effect for children.
But you know, Mitate found himself a bit excited by this scene.
He shook his head, quickly dismissing this somewhat perverted thought and refocusing on the Duel.
This scene delivered a devastating blow to Reiko, a psychologically immature maiden. She looked like she was about to cry, as if she had just been punched.
"Master Yu Xuan!"
"Don't worry, it's not over yet."
Yu Xuan smiled, offering comfort.
"I activate the Spell Card, Sudden Mutation, sacrificing the monster on the field to Special Summon a Fusion Monster with the same Level.
I sacrifice the Level 1 Sacrificial Fiend to evolve into the Demon of Fantasia—
—Thousand-eyed Sacrificial Fiend, Summon!!!"
