Chapter 882: Hunting the Spirit
Chapter 882: Hunting the Spirit
"The effect of Double Gate, draw two cards."
You Xuan drew his cards and immediately played one of them.
"Magic Card, Hells' Domain, Special Summon a Metal Devil Token to my field."
A magical barrier appeared, and a small Metal Devil Token made up of countless tiny spheres materialized on You Xuan's field.
[Metal Devil Token, 0 ATK]
"Then, I'll use the Metal Devil Token as a Tribute for an Upgrade Summon! Level six—
—Feng Bao Jiao Huan Shi!"
The six-star psychokinetic powerhouse unleashed a green storm of psychokinetic energy. A majestic figure emerged from the tempest, landing on the field with a thunderous impact.
[Feng Bao Jiao Huan Shi, 2300 ATK]
"Wow, you're immediately summoning an advanced monster to launch an attack?"
Keith chuckled softly, his mind secretly thinking.
Excellent, the stronger the monster, the better. Attack now, with more ferocity!
Then they'll understand the treacherous nature of our Elf Hunter duels.
You Xuan seemed unaware of his opponent's thoughts and waved his hand, shouting.
"Battle!
Use Feng Bao Jiao Huan Shi to attack Bait Phantom!"
The Summoner spread his arms, unleashing a psychokinetic storm. Green psychokinetic winds, laced with electricity, swept towards the transparent phantom.
At this moment, Keith could no longer hold back the smile tugging at his lips.
Here it comes.
"Hahaha, well played! This instant, the effect of Bait Phantom activates!
When an opponent's monster declares an attack, by returning Bait Phantom on the field to the hand, one of the opponent's attacking monsters is also returned to the hand!"
Mina scoffed, "I knew it, this thing is indeed problematic."
"It's not over yet!" Keith laughed, "I also activate my face-down card, the Counter Trap, Bu Huo Zhi Wang!
When an opponent's monster returns to the hand due to an effect, this card can be activated to capture their monster in my Spell and Trap Zone instead, placing a Lie Wu Zhi Shi Wu on it!"
The trap was activated, and the Feng Bao Jiao Huan Shi, which had been disoriented by the Bait Phantom, suddenly halted. A large capture net was released from the trap card, enveloping the Summoner entirely. Like a fisherman's net, it tightened and pulled the Summoner back, landing in one of Keith's Spell and Trap Zones.
Zarug roared in anger, "You dare steal my opponent's monster! Such a despicable tactic!"
However, as soon as he spoke, Mina elbowed him from the side, causing him to cough twice.
Zarug then remembered that, by that logic, no one could be more despicable than their own boss.
The Elf Hunter laughed, "They say the King's duels are extraordinary, but it seems they struggle to showcase their prowess before us Elf Hunters. The advanced monster you summoned was so easily captured by me."
He let out two sinister laughs.
"Well, non-Elf monsters are boring. The Legendary King can command numerous powerful spirits, so why not show them all?"
"Hmm, you're indeed an unyielding hunter, taking my monster right from the start."
You Xuan replied calmly.
"Then I'll set a card in my back row and end my turn."
Keith became even more arrogant.
"If that's all, the situation will become even more dangerous for you.
My turn, draw!"
Keith drew a card.
"Normal Summon, Yuan Nian Zhi Sha Ren Ren Ou!"
A small doll resembling a cursed figurine from a horror movie appeared, holding an axe larger than its entire body.
【Yuan Nian Zhi Sha Ren Ren Ou, Attack 1600】
"Well, although I'd love to use your monster to attack itself, unfortunately, captured monsters must be confined to the Capture Net and cannot attack."
Although the animation showed the monster trapped in the net, the rule is that captured monsters are treated as Magic/Trap Cards placed in the backrow, similar to the nature of Jewel Beasts.
Keith said, "In that case, I'll have 'Yuan Nian Zhi Sha Ren Ren Ou' attack directly."
The little doll's eyes spun wildly, and its seemingly dislocated jaw opened and closed as it swung its axe at You Xuan.
"Activating a trap," said You Xuan, "Trap Card 'Zhan Xian Fu Gui,' special summon a monster from the graveyard in defense position."
I revive this card from the graveyard."
You Xuan revealed the monster card that had returned from the graveyard.
"Special summon 'Qing Ting' in defense position."
A bright green dragonfly with large eyes landed on You Xuan's field, its wings flapping rapidly, leaving afterimages.

【Qing Ting, DEF 900】
"Using a weak monster as a wall, huh." Keith scoffed, "Then, Sha Ren Ren Ou, crush Qing Ting."
The axe fell, splitting the dragonfly in two, and both halves scattered into golden powder.
"Qing Ting's monster effect," explained You Xuan, "When destroyed by battle and sent to the graveyard, special summon a Wind-Attribute monster with 1500 or less attack from the deck in attack position."
You Xuan drew a card that popped out of his deck.
"Special summon 'Nai Fu Ti Si De Wu Dao Zhe' from the deck."
A green whirlwind rose, but halfway through, it suddenly ignited, transforming into a burning storm. The storm dissipated, and a slender, flame-clad magician appeared on the field.
【Nai Fu Ti Si De Wu Dao Zhe, Attack 600】
"Nephthys?"
Keith frowned.
He had heard of the Nephthys Phoenix God, a powerful and rare monster. However, he was unfamiliar with the Nephthys field deck.
Well, it's just a 600-attack lower-level magician.
Keith: "I set a card, and my turn ends."
This turn, Keith did not summon Bait Phantom from his hand again. Firstly, he wanted to take the initiative and deal damage, and secondly, the phantom had already been used once, and its effect was now known to his opponent, reducing its impact.
Bait Phantom is a dark-attribute monster that requires the opponent to initiate an attack to trigger its effect. It is more effective when the opponent has less information, as they are less likely to attack once they know the card's function, diminishing its value.
However, that was not an issue.
He glanced at the set card in the backrow with a sidelong glance, continuing to smirk inwardly.
Our Elf Hunter's tricks aren't limited to what you just saw. He had already dug a new pit, waiting for his opponent to fall into it.
The hunter's duel is not just about winning; it's also about plunder. They are the hunters, and the spirits are their targets. During the duel, they aim to take away the opponent's spirits, infuriate them, and disrupt the bond between the duelist and the spirit, sometimes even achieving a victory without a fight.
"My turn, draw."
You Xuan drew a card, paused briefly, and slowly raised his head.
"Since you're so obsessed with spirits, then fine, let's do this."
He narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"So, on my side, I'll summon a super-rare spirit that is one of a kind in the world, and show you something truly unique."
Keith: "!"
