Chapter 860: The Battle of the Minotaur
Chapter 860: The Battle of the Minotaur
As soon as the Sacrificial Fiend devoured the Love-struck Maiden, it immediately transformed once more. The thickening darkness enveloped its hideous form, and within the black mist, it seemed to evolve rapidly, its size expanding at an astonishing rate, transforming into a being that appeared even more terrifying than before.
"Thousand-eyed Sacrificial Fiend, Summon!"
【Thousand-eyed Sacrificial Fiend, ATK 0】
After all, this was an animation, and the Thousand-eyed Sacrificial Fiend in the real world was undoubtedly a formidable boss monster capable of dominating an entire horror movie. Moreover, it was summoned through a holographic projection, making it even more menacing.
The maiden took a few steps back, startled, unable to look directly at the monster.
"The effect of the Thousand-eyed Sacrificial Fiend allows it to absorb one of the opponent's monsters once per turn, gaining its ATK and DEF values."
You Xuan calmly explained.
"Let's take back the 'Black Magic Artisan' first."
The multitude of terrifying eyes opened simultaneously, like a thousand eyes releasing a flash of light. The terrifying magic, accompanied by the darkness, engulfed the Black Magic Artisan without hesitation.
【Thousand-eyed Sacrificial Fiend, ATK 0 → ATK 1200】
It is said that a minotaur is a minotaur, and indeed, although Li was playing a minotaur deck, within a single turn, the monsters on her field were completely overwhelmed by her opponent's minotaur strategy. Li's emotions were now in turmoil.
"Battle," said You Xuan, "Direct attack with the 'Thousand-eyed Sacrificial Fiend'."
Despite the immense pressure and tension, Li managed to steady her nerves and said, "I activate a Set card!
Trap Card, 'Enemy Alert'! When your opponent declares an attack, Special Summon a monster from your hand, and force your opponent to attack that monster!" (Original effect)
Li revealed the monster card in her hand.
"Special Summon the other 'Love-struck Maiden' in my hand!"
【Love-struck Maiden, ATK 400】
"And at this moment, I also activate another face-down card! Quick-Play Spell, 'Hell Rampage Summon'! When Special Summoning a monster with 1500 or less ATK, Special Summon as many copies of the same monster as possible from your Deck, hand, and GY in Attack Position."
"Therefore, I Special Summon all three of my 'Love-struck Maidens'!"
【Love-struck Maiden, ATK 400】 x2
The spectators gasped in surprise.
Impressive, three maidens, all as resilient as cockroaches, each with an attack that could potentially cripple her opponent's monsters.
What kind of minotaur defense was this?
The Pure Love Warrior was on the verge of tears.
"However, the Earthbound has a side effect," said You Xuan, "Since you summoned three Love-struck Maidens, I can also Special Summon as many copies of any one of my monsters as possible."
"Yes."
Li held her breath.
Her heart was pounding, and she thought to herself, 'I hope your Sacrificial Minotaur doesn't have three copies either.' If You Xuan were to reveal three Thousand-eyed Sacrificial Fiends at this moment, it would be a decisive blow.
"Hahaha, how could such a rare card have three copies?"
You Xuan laughed.
"But I do have three copies of another monster card on my field. I Special Summon these two 'Mana Guides'."
【Mana Guide, ATK 1700】 x3
You Xuan continued, "The additional effect of 'Enemy Alert' forces the attacking monster to target the summoned monster.
So, the Thousand-eyed Sacrificial Fiend attacks the 'Love-struck Maiden'."
The Thousand-eyed Sacrificial Fiend's attack abruptly shifted, and the Black Magic Artisan, controlled from afar, struck the maiden once again.
The audience quickly understood the situation.
Although Li had summoned three Love-struck Maidens, their low ATK of 400 was their weakness.
"Earthquake also gave You Xuan three Magic Guides with 1700 ATK each. With so many monsters taking turns to pin down the Love-struck Maiden, even if they can't destroy her in battle, her frail body can't withstand this."
"I activate the Continuous Trap, Soul Barrier!" Reiko declared, setting it in her Spell & Trap Zone, "As long as I have a monster on my field, all battle damage I take becomes 0!"
Soul Barrier unleashed, forming a barrier to shield her from harm.
"Oh, that makes up for the Love-struck Maiden's weakness in attack power." You Xuan smiled, "This way, neither side can destroy each other's monsters in battle or inflict damage. Only my monsters will be affected by the Maiden Token, and control will slowly be taken away from you."
"Exactly!"
Reiko beamed with pride.
"I said it before, Love's Maiden is incredibly strong!"
Shoutarou Marutou, watching from the stands, pondered for a few seconds.
"In terms of formation, it's like a sideways attack lock. It's a bit like You Xuan's style, with monsters unable to be destroyed and constantly being taken from the opponent."
Mitate frowned, "It's a bit like that, I suppose. After all, he's a fan of that guy, so it's not that strange."
Mitate's expression turned peculiar as he spoke.
Hmm, even the new students who just arrived at the Academy are already playing like this.
It seems that ever since that guy became King, the entire Dueling world's atmosphere has gradually been influenced by his strangeness.
"The effect of Love's Maiden places a Maiden Token on Thousand-eyed Sacrificial Fiend!" Reiko announced, making it clear to the spectators that she was preparing to take control of the Thousand-eyed Sacrificial Fiend.
"This is a battle for monster control!" Shoutarou adjusted his glasses.
In other words, it's like a minotaur battle. Both sides have minotaur decks, competing to see who can be more minotaur-like.
"But the Hell Rampage Summon just activated also placed a new Magic Token on the Magic Guide." You Xuan explained, "Additionally, the monster summoned by the effect of Enemy Alert Trap must return to the hand at the end of the Battle Phase."
One of the three Maidens on Reiko's field returned to her hand.
"My turn is over."
Reiko exhaled, as if the tension in her nerves eased slightly when she heard her opponent declare the end of their turn.
"I made it through... The pressure from You Xuan-sama is immense." Reiko wiped her sweat, "Really, even though the opponent is a Lady, they summoned such an outrageous monster, not giving any chance to breathe."
You Xuan smiled, "That's why you have to be harsher, isn't it?"
Spectators: "..."
Is that even human speech?
It's like saying, 'Since you're so cute, a punch will definitely make you cry for a long time.'
You Xuan's smile faded, and he spoke seriously.
"You mentioned that you came to Duel Academy with all your might because you wanted a chance to get close to me, right?"
"Yes, yes!"
Asked directly, Reiko's face turned slightly red, but she nodded in agreement.
"No, it's not like that."
You Xuan shook his head.
"Huh?" Reiko was taken aback.
"I appreciate your high opinion of me, but as a senior from the same Academy, I have to say this responsibly."
You Xuan paused, looking at her calmly.
"We Duelists stand on this field, and we Duel, not for anyone else, but for ourselves."
