Chapter 867: The Boss's Cards are Misused

Sato's lips twitched.

Indeed, Yu Xuan had just used Attack Seal to force Wound Knight into Defense Mode, indicating his awareness of the knight's effect, which prevented him from attacking other monsters while it was in Attack Position. This meant that the opponent should have known all along that any monster that attacked Wound Knight would be redirected to the opponent's side.

Given that they were already aware of this, their seemingly reckless decision to attack with the Black Scorpion Bandits could only mean one thing.

These five were traitors from the start.

Sato's face turned cold. "You knew about Wound Knight's effect from the beginning, and you used it to force the Black Scorpion Bandits onto my field, setting up this deadly combination?"

"Who knows?" Yu Xuan chuckled, wiggling his fingers. "All I can say is that it's better to be cautious when using someone else's monsters. Since you took my monster, you should be prepared for the consequences of using my cards."

With a wave of his hand, Yu Xuan continued, "Next, I'll use Sheep Token to attack the Black Scorpion Bandits!"

And so, the final sacrificial lamb, Sheep Token, charged head-on into the Black Scorpions, colliding with them. The Black Scorpions' effect activated, triggering an automatic search in Yu Xuan's deck, and the second Prize Pot was sent to the graveyard.

"The effect of reducing damage in a closed area still applies, so the damage I receive is halved."

[Yu Xuan, LP 3500 → LP 3000]

Now, Yu Xuan had only one monster left on his field—the Sacrificial Chestnut Ball, ready for its final attack.

This attack, if successful, would seal the deal.

"Sacrificial Chestnut Ball, attack the Black Scorpion Bandits!"

The Chestnut Ball charged forward, and the Black Scorpions cheered in unison, seemingly ready to celebrate another victory. However, it was clear that the champagne had been popped too early.

Sato suddenly let out a cold laugh. "Do you think you have the victory in your grasp now?"

Taking a deep breath, he declared, "I've said it before—I've experienced all kinds of battles. Having my monster taken away and manipulated is something I've encountered numerous times in professional tournaments.

If you want to outsmart me, you'll have to try harder!"

With a wave of his hand, he activated a card from his backfield. "I activate my Set Trap Card, 'Sacrificial Barrier'! During the opponent's Battle Phase, you can force them to change their attack target!" (Original Card Effect)

The Black Scorpions paled.

"What? Change the attack target?" Mina exclaimed.

Zarug turned to the Wound Knight beside him. "Oh no, it's attacking..."

"Indeed," Sato said, "let the Sacrificial Chestnut Ball attack the Wound Knight!"

The Chestnut Ball collided with the Wound Knight. Although the knight's Defense Points were zero, it possessed an indestructible resilience, and the attack seemed to have no effect.

But something was amiss. As the Chestnut Ball rebounded, it quickly became covered in shattered armor, as if it had been possessed.

Zarug was taken aback. "Wait, isn't this knight supposed to activate its effect only when it battles in Attack Position?"

"That's correct," Sato said with a cold smile, "but it's the subsequent effect of the Trap Card, Sacrificial Barrier. If the opponent's original attack target had a Scab Marker, then after this battle, a Scab Marker is also placed on the attacking monster."

"I see," Yu Xuan nodded. "The Black Scorpion Bandits have a Scab Marker, so now the Chestnut Ball has one too.

And at the end of the Battle Phase, if the Wound Knight is still on the field, control of all monsters without Scab Markers will be transferred."

Pausing for a moment, he sighed, "You're even taking my Chestnut Ball away from me?"

Sato remained silent, his smile cold.

"Alright then," Yu Xuan said, "but my Battle Phase isn't over yet.

I activate the Quick-Play Spell, 'Quick Summon,' sacrificing a monster on the field to Normal Summon a monster from my hand.

I sacrifice the Sacrificial Chestnut Ball to Tribute Summon! Appear—

—Storm Summoner!"

[Storm Summoner, Attack Points 2300]

"You didn't want to hand over your monster to me, so you sacrificed it beforehand?" Sato asked.

"Furthermore," Yu Xuan said, "the effect of Sacrificial Chestnut Ball. When this card is sacrificed, I draw one card from my deck."

Yu Xuan drew a card.

"Then, Storm Summoner attacks Demander!"

[Demander, Attack Points 800]

Sato adjusted his glasses. "Demander's Attack Points are only 800. Without the protection of the Wound Knight, it becomes an easy target."

His voice turned cold. "Do you think that after so many years of battling in professional tournaments, I wouldn't have anticipated such a simple situation?"

Yu Xuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"I activate the Continuous Trap Card, 'Final Charge Order'!" Sato declared, "All monsters on the field become Attack Position and cannot change their Battle Positions!"

[Wound Knight with Scab Marker, Defense Points 0 → Attack Points 2300]

Zarug exclaimed, "That damned knight has returned to Attack Position! How is this possible?"

"Indeed!" Sato clenched his fist and shouted, "When the Wound Knight is in Attack Position, all attackable monsters on the opponent's field must attack the Wound Knight!"

"The heavy shackles of a veteran warrior, the scars and pain of countless battles—taste them well!"

The Wound Knight bears the brunt of the Storm Summoner's attack!"

The Storm Summoner's strike descends with force, and the raging wind nearly topples Mr. Sato.

Mr. Sato grits his teeth, "Within your reduction field, the battle damage I receive is also halved."

[Mr. Sato, LP 3000 → LP 1850]

"Then, place a scab marker on the Storm Summoner!"

Mr. Sato smirks.

"The Battle Phase ends, and I gain control of the Storm Summoner!"

The countless shattered armor fragments attach themselves to the Storm Summoner. The powerful monster, unable to resist, is drawn to Mr. Sato's field.

"How does it feel to have your trusted monster betray you again and again?"

Mr. Sato smirks.

"And you still have the audacity to say that my dueling style is outdated, and I am unworthy of being a 'King'?"

You Xuan pauses for a moment, then remains silent.

He slowly draws a card from his hand.

It's a 6, a 1, a book, and a bar—an unmistakable card!

"I Set a card. My turn is over."

Mr. Sato bursts into laughter.

"Is that so? Is this your response?"

"You're helpless and speechless? How amusing."

"My turn, I draw!"

Mr. Sato speaks with a chilling tone.

"You don't understand, You Xuan. You may have talent and strength, but as a duelist, you lack conviction and belief. You're just an arrogant boy."

"And now, I, the outdated old man you look down upon, will show you the truth!"

He raises his arm high.

"Use your own monster to seal your fate! Battle! Direct attack with the Storm Summoner!"

As the Storm Summoner gathers power, a swirling vortex of emerald storm forms, like the eye of a deadly reaper. You Xuan's field is empty, and he faces the devastating attack without expression.

After a moment, he speaks calmly.

"As I said, your lessons are rigid and outdated, offering me no value. And through this duel, I haven't seen anything that would change my mind."

Mr. Sato's eyes widen in anger.

"At this point, you're about to lose, and you're still talking like that."

"You're the one who doesn't understand the situation, teacher." You Xuan sighs, "I mentioned last turn that using an opponent's cards without restraint requires mental preparation. I do this often, so I don't have the right to say such things.

But what I want to say is..."

He looks at Mr. Sato with a calm gaze.

"I said no one attends your classes not because I deny you, but because you haven't proven yourself.

Similarly, you couldn't continue in the professional arena due to health reasons, which I find regrettable. But even without that factor, you couldn't reach the top or become a champion because your strength is only so much."

"You... you..."

Mr. Sato points at him, trembling with rage.

"Still not convinced?"

You Xuan smiles.

"But that's the truth, teacher. You're too weak. That's why you always fail, just as you can't change the outcome of this duel."

He snaps his fingers, and a card from the back row flips over.

As the card is revealed, a sacred blue light emanates from the card, as if tearing apart the darkness! Mr. Sato's pupils contract in shock.

"That's..."

"Trap Card, 'Holy Shield - Mirror Force'!" You Xuan declares, "When an opponent's attack is declared, destroy all Attack Position monsters they control!"

Mr. Sato grunts, "Still hiding behind your strongest shield..."

"It's not just that."

You Xuan chuckles.

"The effect of the Storm Summoner you took from me. When this card is destroyed by a card effect, its controller takes damage equal to its Attack Points."

Mr. Sato's expression freezes.

"What did you say?"

Under the sacred glow, he slowly looks at his field, where the Summoner is being engulfed by the light.

Following his gaze, they see the Black Scorpion Bandits, each showcasing their unique skills, some making faces, others sticking out their tongues.

Zarug: "Haha, you never learn."

Mina: "He dares to use the boss's cards recklessly."

Zeek: "The inside job was a success!"

The bandits high-five each other and give a thumbs-up.

Mr. Sato spits out blood.

"You... you bastards..."

Boom—

[Mr. Sato, LP 1850 → LP 0]
