Chapter 866: Who Told You to Take Advantage?
Chapter 866: Who Told You to Take Advantage?
The Black Scorpions surrounded the Wound Knight, pummeling him with punches and kicks, their assault lacking any discipline or strategy, only the overwhelming numbers against a single opponent.
Observing their chaotic offense, it became clear why, despite each individual's Attack Points exceeding 1000, their collective strength had dwindled to a mere 1000 when they attacked together.
This was the essence of a mob.
[Sato, LP 4000 → LP 3000]
However, as the beating continued, the Black Scorpions began to sense something amiss.
"Hold on, boss! Something's off!"
Mina suddenly looked at her hands in horror, realizing they were covered in green fragments, seemingly chipped off the knight's armor.
"What is this?!"
Zarug: "Why are you making a fuss over nothing?"
Only then did he notice that his body was also covered in these fragments, like broken pieces of armor, but they couldn't be scraped off.
Sato smirked.
"The battles I've endured with the Wound Knight are beyond your imagination," he said calmly. "The Wound Knight cannot be destroyed in battle."
"Furthermore, any monster that battles the Wound Knight must have a Scab Marker placed on it."
Zeek desperately tried to scrape off the fragments from his body. "Scab Marker? This feels so uncomfortable!"
"The effect of Black Scorpion Bandits allows you to send a Magic Card from your opponent's Deck to the Graveyard when you inflict battle damage," You Xuan explained.
"A Magic Card?" Sato frowned, then thought for a moment before sending a Magic Card from his Deck to the Graveyard.
"At the end of the Battle Phase, if there are any monsters with Scab Markers on your opponent's field," he said coldly, "you gain control of those monsters."
The Black Scorpions froze for a moment, then looked at each other in confusion.
Realization dawned on them.
"What?!"
Instantly, the fragments on their bodies seemed to have a gravitational pull, drawing them together and, without a word, pulling them into the Monster Zone on Sato's side of the field.
"Boss~"
Mina, feeling increasingly distant from her boss, waved desperately and put on a hopeless expression, seemingly reluctant to part.
Unbeknownst to her, You Xuan merely smiled at her and waved back.
"Even on the other side, you must perform well."
Mina: "..."
Was this the kind of thing a Duelist would say right after one of his subordinates had been NTR'd?
You Xuan's unusual reaction made Sato feel like he had disappointed the boss. Normally, when a Duelist's monsters—especially those with spirits—are taken away, shouldn't they be furious, even to the point of wanting to engage in a physical duel?
However, considering that the opponent was the Duel King, it wasn't surprising that he was the one who usually made others want to engage in physical duels, and his mental fortitude was indeed remarkable.
"With my monsters taken away, I'm left with an empty field, which is quite dangerous," You Xuan said.
"So, I'll Set a card and end my turn."
"My turn, Draw Card!"
Sato declared.
"I'll summon 'Demander'!"
[Demander, Attack 800]
Demander was another of Sato's original cards. Its effect allowed him to change an opponent's Defense Position monster to Attack Position during their Main Phase, once per turn.
The Wound Knight also had a hidden effect: any Attack Position monster on the opponent's field must attack the Wound Knight each turn.
When combined, these two cards could block the opponent's defensive options, forcing them to attack the Wound Knight every turn, resulting in their monsters being continuously exploited.
"Battle! Black Scorpion Bandits, attack!"
The controlled Black Scorpions reluctantly approached, with Mina still shouting, "Boss, be careful!"
"I activate my Set card," You Xuan said. "Quick-Play Spell, 'Sheep Token', Special Summon four Sheep Tokens on my field."
Action:
Sheep Tokens (ATK 0) x4
Although there were five Black Scorpion Bandits, they were currently in the form of a single Monster, and could only attack one of the Sheep Tokens. Thus, three Sheep Tokens remained after one was destroyed.
Sato: "Demander's attack!"
Despite its low Attack, Demander was more than enough to handle the Sheep Tokens. Another Sheep Token was swiftly destroyed, leaving two.
Sato had only Wound Knight left to attack, but its Attack was 0, rendering any attack meaningless.
"I Set a card, and end my turn," Sato said coldly. "It seems that even though King looks down on my lessons, he's helpless against my strategy of stealing Spirit Monsters."
"What's the matter? Can't handle this outdated and boring old man?"
"How should I put it?" Yu Xuan shrugged.
"My turn, Draw Phase."
He revealed the card he drew.
"Spell Card, 'Lust of the Pot,' draw 2 cards from the Deck."
Yu Xuan drew two cards, and then placed one directly on the Duel Disk.
"I Normal Summon 'Sacrificial Chestnut.'"
Sacrificial Chestnut (ATK 300)
Sato frowned. "Such a weak Monster..."
"Then, I activate the Spell Card, 'Attack Ban.' Change 1 face-up Attack Position Monster on the field to Defense Position." Yu Xuan declared. "I change 'Wound Scab Knight' to Defense Position."
Wound Scab Knight (ATK 0 → DEF 0)
Sato's expression changed slightly.
"Do you know the weakness of Wound Knight?"
Yu Xuan smiled. "As I said, I'm a diligent student. When Wound Knight is in Attack Position, each turn, all Monsters on my field must attack it, right? But if it's in Defense Position, that effect is useless."
Sato hummed. "Indeed."
"Next, I activate the Continuous Spell, 'Damage Reduction Field.' While this card is on the field, all Battle Damage we take is halved."
Sato frowned. "What are you up to?"
Yu Xuan smiled without answering, and continued, "Then, I change both Sheep Tokens to Attack Position."
Sato: "???"
What? Do you think you can attack with these Sheep Tokens?
As expected, Yu Xuan declared, "Battle Phase, Sheep Token attacks 'Black Scorpion Bandit'!"
The Sheep Token fearlessly launched a suicidal attack, but was immediately destroyed by the Black Scorpion Bandits.
"The effect of 'Damage Reduction Field' halves the Battle Damage I take," Yu Xuan stated.
Yu Xuan: LP 4000 → LP 3500
"The effect of 'Black Scorpion Bandit' activates when it inflicts Battle Damage to the opponent. The opponent must send 1 Spell Card from their Deck to the Graveyard."
Yu Xuan slowly revealed a Spell Card.
"I send 'Grand Prize Flask 7' to the Graveyard."
"The effect of 'Grand Prize Flask 7' activates when it is sent to the Graveyard by an opponent's card effect. It is removed from play, and if three copies are removed this way, I win the Duel!"
Sato: "!"
His pupils constricted as he looked at the remaining Sheep Token on Yu Xuan's field, and then at the Sacrificial Chestnut. Suddenly, he seemed to understand.
If these two weak Monsters attacked the Black Scorpion Bandits and self-destructed, the ownership of the Bandits would transfer to Yu Xuan, making him the "opponent" in this case. Yu Xuan could then use the effect of the Black Scorpion Bandits to send the remaining two copies of 'Grand Prize Flask 7' from his Deck to the Graveyard.
Sato's pupils constricted as he glared at the Black Scorpion Bandits beside him, which were now under Yu Xuan's control. The Bandits were sticking out their tongues and making faces at him, as if saying, "Gotcha! I'm a mole."
Who told you to mess with anything?
