Chapter 889: The Sacred Sanctuary's Barrier

Chapter 889: The Sacred Sanctuary's Barrier

"With my right hand holding the shield and my left hand the sword, I swap the attack power of all monsters on the field!"

【Maze Wall: ATK 0 → ATK 3000】

【Leidi Zaborge: ATK 2400 → ATK 1000】

It was common knowledge that the low defense of the Imperial Family Bucket was their shared weakness. The Emperors, without exception, had 2400 ATK and 1000 DEF. With the attack and defense swapped, they instantly plummeted from being formidable Red-Eyes Black Dragon-level fighters to mere Winged Dragon of Ra-level cannon fodder.

However, Jim's Maze Wall was the exact opposite; with the attack and defense swap, it instantly became a powerful Blue-Eyes White Dragon-level boss.

At this moment, You Xuan had 1800 Life Points remaining, and this battle would directly seal Jim's victory!

"Maze Wall, attack Leidi Zaborge!"

Jim shouted the command while holding his breath.

This seemed like the perfect opportunity, a chance for a one-hit kill.

But was it really that easy? Of course, Jim himself probably guessed that too, and the answer was, of course not.

Boom!

The moving Maze Wall roared as it crushed the White Emperor on You Xuan's field, causing the Emperor to explode. The electrical discharge from the explosion showed no signs of diminishing as it rushed towards You Xuan, but it all collided with a transparent barrier, isolating the shockwave outside.

Jim sighed, "As expected, it's not that easy."

"Damage calculation step, I discard this card from my hand and activate its effect."

You Xuan revealed a card from his hand.

"Big Racket. Discarding it from my hand can reduce battle damage to 0 for once."

You Xuan pointed to a trap card beside him that was slowly disappearing.

"And at the moment of the attack declaration, I also activated this card.

Trap Card 'Selfless Treasure.' When the total ATK of monsters on your field is lower than the ATK of the opponent's monster with the lowest ATK, draw 2 cards from your deck.

But as a cost, I cannot summon monsters in any form during this turn." (Original Effect)

Jim understood, "When the trap was activated, due to the effect of attack and defense swap, I only have Maze Wall on my field with 3000 ATK. And on your field, you only have Leidi with 1000 ATK."

Jim picked another card from his hand.

"I set a card face-down, and my turn is over."

"My turn, I draw a card."

You Xuan waved his hand.

"I activate the Set card, Trap Card 'Descending Ritual.'

Choose a monster with 'Gravekeeper's' in its name from your graveyard and Special Summon it to your field."

"Wait a moment," Jim raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't you say that in this eternal slumber valley of the Wang family, any desecration of the dead is forbidden?"

Wasn't it agreed that effects that affect the graveyard would be invalidated?

"Oh, that," You Xuan smiled, "That's for outsiders. Only when outsiders dare to offend the sacred slumbering land will they be punished.

But the Gravekeeper's clan is the chosen guardians of the Wang family, bestowed with sacred authority. They have special privileges and are not bound by the rules of the eternal slumbering land."

Jim: ". . ."

Blackout, this was pure favoritism.

So, my grave robbing is considered offensive and desecration, while your zombie summoning is a privileged act of justice?

However, You Xuan wasn't bluffing; this was clearly stated in the card's description. The effect of 'Descending Ritual' would not be negated by 'Eternal Slumber Valley of the Wang Family.'

"I resurrect 'Gravekeeper's Commander' from the graveyard."

【Gravekeeper's Commander: ATK 1600】

"Then, I sacrifice 'Gravekeeper's Commander' for an Upgrading Summon."

You Xuan raised his hand. The Commander was enveloped in a sacrificial whirlwind, which turned pitch black, and within the darkness, a pair of dark red eyes lit up.

"The ruler of darkness and evil, awakening from the depths of the Netherworld—

—Evil Emperor · Gaews, Summon!"

A dark storm swept across the entire field, and the black cloak billowed. The evil emperor rose slowly from the abyss, exuding an overwhelming aura of malevolence.

The Evil Emperor spread his arms, and a dark energy soared towards the sky, as if laughing silently—

—It's finally my turn to make an entrance!

【Evil Emperor · Gaews, ATK 2400】

When the Evil Emperor's summoning was successful, any card on the field was removed from the game. The pitch-black storm swept across, and the cyclone gathered towards Jim's field, concentrating towards his back row, picking up the face-down card.

Trap Card - Explosive Armor!

You Xuan: "."

He seemed to remember that in the anime, Jim had also used this card when facing the Overlord. At that time, Jim tried to use Explosive Armor to counter the Overlord's Evil Hero, but unfortunately, the Evil Hero had destruction resistance, so the Explosive Armor continued its tragic fate throughout the history of the game.

Jim clenched his teeth, "My Explosive Armor..."

No mistakes, no omissions, comprehensive content for Chapter 6-9, please view and read!

"Explosive Armor is a powerful trap that can destroy attacking monsters during a monster's attack. What a pity."

You Xuan smiled and waved his hand.

"Then, it's 'Evil Emperor · Gaews' attacking 'Maze Wall'."

Having finally gotten a chance to appear, the Evil Emperor stood tall and proud, determined to not let Sogana underestimate him this time.

He gathered his power in his palm, and a swirling energy ball appeared. As the energy converged, the light ball grew larger and larger until it became a pitch-black energy ball. The walls of the Maze Wall were easily pierced and shattered. In the moment Jim was hit by that darkness, he felt as if he had fallen into hell, and even though it was just a 3D image, he felt a chill in his hands and feet.

【Jim, LP4000 → LP1600】

Jim staggered back two steps, wiped his mouth, and laughed embarrassedly.

"There's really no room to breathe."

The effect of switching attack and defense with a shield in the right hand and a sword in the left hand could only last for one turn. By the end of the turn, the attack power of the Maze Wall would return to its original 0 points.

Jim had originally planned to switch the attack and defense of the Maze Wall to deal some damage, then reduce the attack power to 0 and expose a weakness, luring the opponent to step on his Explosive Armor trap. The idea was good, but he had overlooked the curse placed on Explosive Armor by the will of the Great Universe. If it had been a Holy Barrier or something similar, it might have worked.

"Setting two cards, end turn."

Jim took a deep breath.

With Fossil Fusion sealed, this Valley of Eternal Slumber sealed most of the power of his deck. In this duel, he hadn't even brought out a tenth of his usual strength.

He never expected that he had no grudge against the Duel King, yet this person would use such a thing against him.

Jim looked at his deck.

He had to come up with something with this turn's draw, or this would likely be his last turn.

"My turn, draw!"

Jim's heart stirred, and he inserted the drawn card directly into the Duel Disk.

"Magic Card 'Pot of Magical Book'! Both players draw three cards from their decks!"

After drawing another card from his deck, he couldn't help but brighten up.

"Thank you, my deck!"

Jim smiled and muttered, then waved his hand to play the crucial card he had drawn, the Life Shaver.

"Field Spell—

—Guardian Barrier of the Shrine!!!"
