Chapter 871: Blue-Eyes Level Power
Chapter 871: Blue-Eyes Level Power
Killer Tomato, defeated!
Rattlesnake coiled around Tomato, its sharp fangs piercing through and causing the Killer Tomato to explode. However, a golden light immediately shot out from You Xuan's deck.
"Special Summon 'Black Forest Witch' with an ATK of 1500 or less from your deck in Attack Position."
A cloaked witch appeared on the field, her eyes closed and her purple hair gently cascading down.
[Black Forest Witch, ATK 1100]
Cobra declared, "I set a card, and my turn ends."
"Then it's my turn. I draw a card," You Xuan said, "and summon 'Leader Zalug'."
The one-eyed bandit leader's card appeared, and the monster emerged from the golden light released by the card. He squatted, twirling a revolver like a cowboy, and struck a cool pose.
[Leader Zalug, ATK 1400]
"Zalug, attack 'Rattlesnake'!"
"Hey, leave it to me!"
Zalug stood tall and proud, taking a step forward. He fired two shots from his revolver. The bullets pierced through Rattlesnake's thick scales, causing it to explode.
[Cobra, LP 4000 → LP 3800]
"That's nothing," Cobra shouted, "Now, I activate my Set card, Trap Card 'Snake Whistle'!
This card can only be activated when a Reptile-Type monster you control is destroyed. Special Summon 1 Reptile-Type monster with 4 or less stars from your deck."
Cobra drew a card from his deck and searched through it, pulling out a specific card.
"I Special Summon 'Venomous Cobra'!"
The monster was placed on the Duel Disk, and a massive cobra covered in hard scales appeared on his field, coiled up like a fortress.
[Venomous Cobra, DEF 2000]
Amen, standing nearby, adjusted his glasses, "Professor Cobra's Duel Disk is an older model that requires manual searching and shuffling."
Cobra glanced at him with a hint of curiosity, "So what?"
"Nothing," Amen smiled, "The new models are better."
Indeed, it was a hard lesson. Amen had made up his mind; on this trip back, he would use all the connections of the financial group to buy a new Duel Disk from the Kaiba Corporation that could shuffle cards automatically.
Otherwise, it was too disadvantageous when encountering certain individuals with twisted and dark minds.
"Nonsense," Cobra muttered.
"A DEF of 2000, impressive. With this, the remaining Black Forest Witch on my field can't compete," You Xuan said, "But the effect of 'Leader Zalug'...
When this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent, you can choose to either send the top card of their deck to the graveyard or discard a random card from their hand."
You Xuan hooked his finger.
"I choose the latter. Go ahead, Professor, and destroy your hand."
Zalug couldn't contain his excitement and laughed, "I can't wait!"
His revolver was already drawn, and he fired another shot. The bullet left a transparent hole in one of Cobra's cards, and the card exploded into golden fragments under the projection effect.
"Tsk, just as rumored, a despicable tactic."
Cobra scoffed.
"Then it's my turn. I draw a card."
He glanced at the card he drew but didn't add it to his hand. Instead, he looked up at You Xuan before activating it.
"This turn, I'll show you the terror of my Venomous Snake Deck!
First, I activate the Spell Card 'Snake Rain'!
By discarding one card, send four Reptile-Type monsters from your deck to the graveyard!"
Another card with incredible power, rarely seen in the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! card pool.
With a single card, he could freely send four Reptiles from his deck to the graveyard, an ability that would be game-breaking for any Warrior or Dragon-Type. Yet, despite its terrifying power, this magic card had never been restricted, revealing the pitiful state of Reptile-Type monsters in the Yu-Gi-Oh! world, where even a nuclear-level trump card like this could be ignored by Konami.
Cobra selected four Reptiles from his deck and sent them to the graveyard, then continued, "Furthermore, the card I discarded just now was the magic card, 'Treasure Scroll of Compensation.' When this card is sent from the hand to the graveyard, I draw two cards from my deck." (Original Card) Cobra drew two cards.
Zarug gritted his teeth, "Damn, I finally got rid of one of his hand cards."
"This is how drawing cards work in this world," said You Xuan, indicating that he was not only accustomed to it but had also perfectly integrated into this system.
"Next, I activate the Equip Spell, 'Sacrifice of the Grave Goods'!" Cobra declared, "Equipping this card to Venomous Cobra!"
A single card, a single activation, a single containment, a single look, a single 6, a single 9, a single book, and a single glance!
"When this card is equipped to a monster, and that monster is used as a Tribute for a Tribute Summon, the equipped Equip Spell can also be Tributed as a Tribute Monster!" (Original Card) Cobra drew another card from his hand.
"Then, I activate the Continuous Spell, 'Treasure Scroll of the Underworld'!
Each time I Tribute two or more monsters for a Tribute Summon, I can draw two cards from my deck."
With the preparations complete, Cobra clenched his right fist.
"So, I Tribute Venomous Cobra, along with the equipped Sacrifice of the Grave Goods, as two Tribute Monsters!
From the dark, venomous swamp, the embodiment of despair and poison, the Toxic Snake King appears. Reveal yourself—
—Level 8, Toxic Snake King Vinomirion!!!"
A muddy swamp-like pit opened, and the constantly emerging green bubbles looked like deadly poison. A chilling darkness rose, and within the swirling toxic fumes, a physical form slowly materialized.
A cobra-like head with a smaller snake head on top. Its eerie eyes emitted a red glow, and it wore a cloak. The upper body resembled a human, but the lower half remained a coiled snake, and the large red cloak looked as if it had been dyed in blood.
【Toxic Snake King Vinomirion, 0 ATK】
"Vinomirion has appeared," said You Xuan, "Cobra's ace monster."
Cobra, who had only one battle record in the entire animated series, caused quite a stir with his deck, or rather, his ace monster. It even inspired a large group of real-life card players to imitate him and attempt to build decks capable of summoning his ace monster using real-life card mechanics.
Setting aside the reasons for the popularity of Cobra's deck, just look at Toxic Snake King Vinomirion, an eight-star monster with 0 ATK and 0 DEF, and you can imagine its power.
"Since I Tributed two monsters for a Tribute Summon, I activate the effect of Treasure Scroll of the Underworld and draw two cards from my deck."
Cobra drew two cards.
"Although Toxic Snake King Vinomirion's ATK is 0, its ATK increases by 500 points for each Reptile-Type monster in my graveyard!
Currently, I have Venomous Rattlesnake, Venomous Cobra, and four Reptiles sent to the graveyard by 'Snake Rain,' so Toxic Snake King Vinomirion's ATK becomes..."
【Toxic Snake King Vinomirion, 0 ATK → 3000 ATK】
Its power skyrocketed to the level of Blue-Eyes White Dragon!
