Chapter 883: Abducted Elf
Chapter 883: Abducted Elf
An ultra-rare elf?
As a professional elf hunter, Keith's professional instincts immediately piqued his interest.
The rumors were indeed true! It was said that the Duel King had countless elves at his disposal, and there were even whispers that he was on good terms with Seto Kaiba, the president of Kaiba Corporation, which made his connection to the International Fantasy Society extraordinary.
Any elf from the Duel King's collection, no matter how random, would undoubtedly be priceless.
Keith couldn't help but show a mixture of anticipation and an evil smile at the thought.
Come on, show me your elf!
Your elf is impressive, but soon it will be mine!
"Activating the effect of Nai Futisi's Enlightened One."
You Xuan had already started his next move.
"The effect of the Enlightened One, from your own graveyard, a four-star or lower 'Nai Futisi' monster." You Xuan explained, "Destroy one of your hand cards, and then you can Special Summon that selected monster in Defense Mode from the graveyard!"
You Xuan drew a hand card. The Enlightened One chanted an incantation, and a flame ignited in You Xuan's hand, quickly enveloping the card he held and turning it into ashes.
Raising his Duel Disk, a golden light burst forth from the graveyard. A rocket shot out from within, and the burning arrow landed on the ground, blossoming into a huge fireball. Amidst the rolling fireball, flames transformed into a human-like entity.
"Resurrecting Nai Futisi's Guardian from the graveyard!"
A girl with long silver hair held a fiery sword. She wore the golden armor representing the Nai Futisi faction and had a large red cape draped over her shoulders, her figure resembling a fiery goddess.
[Nai Futisi's Guardian, DEF 200]
"However, the effect of the monster summoned through the Enlightened One's effect is negated." You Xuan added.
Keith studied the newly appeared girl for a moment, lifting his chin.
It was clear that this wasn't the elf he was after. In other words, this was just a preliminary step for the elf's summoning.
The Nai Futisi deck, could it be...? Keith's eyes lit up. "The Phoenix God!?"
"Huh?" You Xuan was taken aback. "What?"
"Nai Futisi's Phoenix God, is that your rare elf?"
Keith's eyes shone with uncontrollable joy.
The Phoenix God was already a rare card, and an elf version would be invaluable. This could even be considered the ultimate pursuit of an elf hunter's life.
But You Xuan laughed.
Keith frowned. "What's so funny?"
"Sorry, but I have to disappoint you. The elf I'm referring to isn't the Phoenix God."
You Xuan smiled.
"I Tribute 'Nai Futisi's Enlightened One' and 'Nai Futisi's Guardian' for an Advanced Summon!
Planet Series, the Mechanical Destroyer of Worlds—
—Great Saturn, Summon!!!"
Planet Series!
These words exploded in Keith's ears like thunder, as he was an elf hunter obsessed with his pursuit.
The legendary series based on the nine planets, each card unique in the world, was an ultra-rare collection!
And at that moment, one of the nine planets descended with unparalleled might, a colossal machine covered in white heavy armor, appearing like a mountain of steel!
[Great Saturn, ATK 2800]
Keith's eyes shone with longing.
It was as if he was saying, Coach! This is the one I want!
You Xuan, being very cooperative, immediately fulfilled his wish: "Battle. Great Saturn, attack 'Vengeful Doll'!"
As Saturn began to charge, Keith burst into laughter.
"You've fallen for it again, Duel King!"
The Black Scorpion gang, who were anxiously watching, exclaimed, "What?"
"You thought that without summoning a Bait Phantom, the attack would be safe? You underestimate us hunters!"
Keith laughed and waved his hand.
"Activating Trap, 'Capturing Trap'!
When there is a card on your field with a bait marker, you can negate the attack of one of your opponent's Attack Position monsters. Then, that attacking monster is also captured in our backfield, and a bait marker is placed on that card as well!"
The Black Scorpion gang suddenly realized what was happening.
"Damn, the Storm Summoner captured last turn has a bait marker on it."
"That's right! There is a card on my field with a bait marker, using the Storm Summoner as bait to lure Saturn into the trap!"
Keith burst into laughter.
"Take it!"
And so, Saturn was also captured, its massive body sealed within the giant net and suspended in Keith's backfield.
"Damn you!" Zarug roared, "I knew you'd steal someone else's monster!"
Keith laughed heartily.
He had succeeded again. Moreover, this time, it wasn't just an Advanced Monster, but an elf, a heavyweight, one-of-a-kind planetary elf that was unique in the entire world!
Yes, this was the unique trait of the elf hunters' cards. In a duel, when a monster was captured by their cards, it wasn't just the holographic image that was bound, but the elf itself would be temporarily trapped within the trap.
"You stole my monster again," You Xuan sighed, feigning helplessness.
"Alright. In that case, being attacked next turn would be dangerous. So, I activate the Spell Card 'Temporary Truce.' Both players draw one card, and until the end of the next opponent's turn, all damage we receive becomes 0.
"To stall for a turn like that? That's not something a Duel King would do."
Keith hummed with satisfaction.
"My turn, draw!"
He glanced at the card he drew and hummed again.
"I can't attack this turn, but it's only for this turn."
He revealed another Monster Card in his hand.
"Summon, Minotaur Warrior!"
[Minotaur Warrior, ATK 1700]
A minotaur warrior wielding a battle axe—nothing too special, but a fitting monster for an Elf Hunter like Keith.
"Set a card, and my turn ends."
Keith's face beamed with confidence.
No mistakes, no omissions, comprehensive content Chapter 6-9, please view and read!
The set card was Capture Trap II. In other words, if Keith attacked again, he would fall into the same trap, and more monsters would be captured by his opponent.
Come on, Duel King! Let me see more of your rare and precious spirits!
"My turn, draw!"
You Xuan drew a card but didn't even glance at it, as if he didn't care what he had drawn. He looked up and said, "Some people are already dead; they just don't realize it yet."
Keith was taken aback.
"What?"
"Last turn, you seemed eager to see the Phoenix God," You Xuan said slowly, lifting his Duel Disk, "So, here it is."
As he spoke, his Duel Disk erupted with blazing flames that soared into the sky and gradually solidified into a physical form.
Keith's eyes lit up with anticipation. "Oh, that's..."
"When I activated the effect of the Sage of Nephthys last turn, I discarded a card from my hand. And that card was this one."
You Xuan explained calmly.
"Nephthys Phoenix God, when this card is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon it from the Graveyard during your next Standby Phase.
Rise from the ashes of Nirvana and soar once more—
—Nephthys Phoenix God, Summon!"
The burning flames transformed into outstretched wings, a proud head, and a golden body radiating endless brilliance, shining like the sun.
[Nephthys Phoenix God, ATK 2400]
"It's indeed the Phoenix God. It's a shame it's not an Elf, but it's still a powerful and rare Monster."
Keith revealed a dangerous grin.
"Then, after the Duel, this card will be mine."
"I said, some people are already dead; they just don't realize it yet."
You Xuan spoke calmly.
"When Nephthys Phoenix God is Special Summoned to the field by its own effect, all Spell and Trap Cards on both sides of the field are destroyed."
Keith: "!"
Oh no! If his backfield is destroyed, the Capture Trap won't activate, and he won't be able to withstand the Phoenix God.
"Tsk."
Keith clicked his tongue.
Even so, he still had two monsters on the field, and his Life Points remained untouched at 4000. It wouldn't be easy to defeat him this turn, even with the backfield cleared.
"The Storm Summoner and Great Saturn that you took from me are currently in your Spell and Trap Zone, so they are also destroyed by the Phoenix God.
And both of these cards have their own effects."
You Xuan paused and explained slowly.
"When Storm Summoner is destroyed by a card effect, its controller takes damage equal to its ATK, which is 2300 points."
"Great Saturn's effect: When this card is destroyed by an opponent's card effect and sent to the Graveyard, both players take damage equal to its ATK, which is 2800 points.
Of course, since you took Great Saturn, the 'opponent' for you is me."
Keith: "..."
Things happened too fast, and the Hunter's mind froze, unable to process what was happening.
You Xuan paused and smiled gently at Keith, explaining patiently.
"Therefore, if both cards are destroyed together, I will take 2800 points of damage according to Great Saturn's effect.
And you will take the combined damage from both attacks, which is 5100 points."
Keith opened his mouth, as if something was stuck in his throat, leaving him speechless. He could only stare at his backfield, at the two large monsters that seemed to have been captured by him.
He looked at the Storm Summoner and then at Great Saturn.
His expression twitched.
What the...
So, he caught two traitors?
The Phoenix God's flames had already been released, engulfing the entire field in a vast sea of fire. The Storm Summoner and Great Saturn instantly became two huge barrels of gunpowder, igniting with a loud boom and exploding into the most dazzling fireworks in the night sky.
"Waaaahhhh—"
