Chapter 862: The Endless Sacrifice Hell
Chapter 862: The Endless Sacrifice Hell
What's next?
What do you mean, what?
Li started to feel nervous.
The Thousand-Eyed Sacrificial Fiend should have been destroyed.
"The effect of Mana Guide," You Xuan said leisurely, "once per turn, remove the Mana Counters on this card, and Special Summon a Mage-Type monster from your hand or GY with the same Level as the number of counters removed."
He pointed to the first Mana Guide.
"Mana Guide Number One, since you activated 'Lustful Flask' and 'Kiss of Cupid' last turn, there are four counters on this card.
I'll remove one counter and Special Summon a Level 1 Mage-Type monster from the GY."
Rise again—
—Thousand-Eyed Sacrificial Fiend!
The green-robed female magician closed her eyes and began chanting an incantation. Ancient words floated onto the field with her chanting, as if they were undulating in mid-air.
The words gathered, forming a ring and emitting a mysterious green light. In the center of the formation, darkness surged, quickly filling the entire array, as if even the sacred magic was polluted, turning into a deep abyss like a muddy swamp.
Then, from within the abyss, countless eyes opened in unison! A massive creature shrouded in darkness slowly rose, its thousand eyes spinning, and a chilling aura dominated the entire field.
The Thousand-Eyed Sacrificial Fiend had resurrected!
[Thousand-Eyed Sacrificial Fiend, ATK 0]
Li: "???"
Her mind was filled with shock and fear from this eerie performance, leaving only questions.
Huh?
Why is this thing a Mage-Type monster?
"The effect of Thousand-Eyed Sacrificial Fiend," You Xuan snapped his fingers and smiled, "once per turn, absorb an opponent's monster on the field as equipment."
This is where the power of effects without card name restrictions lies.
Although the effect of Thousand-Eyed Sacrificial Fiend can only be activated once per turn, if you Special Summon a monster with the same name or send it to the GY and then revive it, the usage count resets.
In other words, as long as you can make it revive infinitely within a turn, you can ignore the usage restriction. You can absorb as many monsters as you want in a turn.
This is why in modern Yu-Gi-Oh!, cards without card name restrictions are considered monsters. If a card states, "You can only activate this card's effect once per turn," even if you send it to the GY and revive it, its effect cannot be used again.
Love-struck Maiden struggled, but she couldn't escape the darkness's tentacles and was absorbed, crying out as she became part of the darkness once more.
Li bit her lip.
Even so, it could only absorb one monster. She still had two Love-struck Maidens, and as long as she had one, she remained invincible.
"The effect of Mana Guide Number Two," You Xuan said calmly, "remove a Mana Counter, and Special Summon a Level 1 Mage-Type monster from the GY to the field."
I'll remove a counter and Special Summon this Level 1 Mage-Type monster from the GY. Come back to the field—
—Offering Demon!
The dark swamp erupted again, and the single eye in the abyss opened. An indescribably terrifying figure slowly rose, its spinning eyeball seemingly cursing the entire world.
Li almost burst into tears.
No,
Why is this thing also a Mage-Type monster?
She began to doubt the creator of these Duel Monsters from the underworld.
"The effect of Offering Demon, once per turn, absorb an opponent's monster on the field as equipment," You Xuan smiled.
Hand over your Love-struck Maiden.
"Absorb the second Love-struck Maiden."
The Offering Demon's single eye widened in shock, and the chilling darkness was released again, turning into countless tentacles that wrapped around the maiden. The beautiful girl struggled, but eventually, she was helplessly consumed by the darkness and absorbed by the Offering Demon.
Li turned her head away, unable to watch this cruel holographic performance, while also patting her chest to calm her breathing.
Calm down, there's nothing to be afraid of.
With both the Offering Demon and Thousand-Eyed Sacrificial Fiend absorbed, she still had one Love-struck Maiden left, her last hope.
As long as she had one, the absolute defense was still in place. Love-struck Maiden couldn't be destroyed in battle, and Soul Barrier ensured she wouldn't take any damage.
"Activate the Equip Spell, 'Magic Wand of Wonder,'" You Xuan said calmly, "equip this card to a Mage-Type monster you control, and the equipped monster gains 500 ATK."
I'll equip 'Magic Wand of Wonder' to 'Offering Demon,' increasing its ATK by 500 points.
Li's pupils constricted, and many spectators in the audience gasped in unison.
Due to their clear understanding, everyone knew that the crucial effect of the Magic Wand of Wonder was in the latter part, not in adding those insignificant 500 points to its attack.
All eyes were on the Yellow Lord's next cruel move.
"The other effect of Magic Wand of Wonder is to send this card and the equipped monster to the graveyard, allowing you to draw two cards from your deck."
Yuxuan casually pointed to the Sacrificial Fiend on the field.
"Send this card and Sacrificial Fiend to the graveyard. Draw two cards."
Li Hua: "!"
She immediately realized what this meant.
There were three Mana Guides on Yuxuan's field. Mana Guide could resurrect a Mage Tribe monster from the graveyard by removing its Mana Counter.
As Sacrificial Fiend was only Level 1, it only required one Mana Counter to be resurrected.
And the Mana Counters on these three Mana Guides were practically inexhaustible.
In essence, Sacrificial Fiend had three extra lives each turn!
Moreover, Sacrificial Fiend could absorb one monster per turn, but if it went to the graveyard and returned to the field, this state would reset, allowing it to absorb another monster.
In other words, by sending Sacrificial Fiend to the graveyard with Magic Wand of Wonder, and then using Mana Guide No. 3 to revive it, it could eat the last Love-struck Maiden.
No, this couldn't be allowed to happen!
"Activating a Set card, Trap Card 'Dust Cyclone'! Destroy one Spell or Trap Card on the field!"
Li Hua declared.
"Before the effect of 'Magic Wand of Wonder' resolves, destroy this Equip Spell!"
Magic Wand of Wonder was caught in the storm, blown into the sky, and shredded to pieces.
"Impressive countermeasure," Mitate nodded, "Although Sacrificial Fiend can be infinitely revived, if it can't be sent to the graveyard, its state won't reset, and it won't be able to absorb the last Love-struck Maiden."
Mitate paused and then showed a hint of regret.
"Well, it's a shame, but this is as far as we can go."
It seemed the newcomer had done their best.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Unfortunately, the opponent didn't care at all.
"Impressive, impressive," Yuxuan applauded, smiling at Li Hua's strategy.
Then, with a mischievous smile, he continued.
"But did you forget that I still have this card on the field?"
He pointed to the backfield Spell.
"Continuous Spell 'Magic Tribe Barrier'. Earlier, this card already had three Mana Counters, and each time a Mage Tribe monster is destroyed, it gains one Mana Counter.
When 'Sacrificial Fiend' was destroyed this turn, its counters reached four, which is the maximum number of counters this card can hold."
Li Hua was stunned.
She activated the effect of Magic Tribe Barrier, sending this card and a Mage Tribe monster from the field to the graveyard, and drawing a number of cards equal to the number of Mana Counters—drawing four cards."
Li Hua instantly froze.
Send a Mage Tribe monster to the graveyard?
Ah?
"I send 'Offering Demon' and 'Magic Tribe Barrier' to the graveyard, drawing four cards."
Yuxuan drew four cards in one breath and then spoke calmly.
"The effect of Mana Guide No. 3, remove one Mana Counter, and revive a Level 1 Mage Tribe monster from the graveyard. Return to the field once more—
—Offering Demon!"
In the very spot where Sacrificial Fiend had just left the field, a formidable darkness was unleashed, and within the darkness, a massive single eye suddenly opened, its eyeball spinning wildly.
As if saying, hey, you didn't see that coming, did you? I left, but I'm back.
【Offering Demon, ATK 0】
Li Hua: ". "
She had no more cards to play.
And no more words to say.
"As I said, I won't hold back or go easy. So, my condolences, Reiko Ayegumo."
Yuxuan smiled.
"The effect of Offering Demon, once per turn, absorb a monster on the opponent's field. Absorb the last 'Love-struck Maiden'."
Once per turn, this restriction condition now seemed like a mockery.
The single eye suddenly opened, and the darkness once again transformed into countless tentacles, releasing an abundance of arms that dragged countless maidens into the depths of darkness.
The entire arena fell silent, except for the helpless cries of the maidens echoing across the field.
Even Jiao Island couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
Hmm, I'll have to give feedback to Bekkas-sama about this.
Ask him to change the holographic show effect animation of Sacrificial Fiend; it's too scary.
"The battle begins," Yuxuan said, "Direct attack with two 'Mana Guides'."
