Chapter 897: The Power of the Winner Bug
Chapter 897: The Power of the Winner Bug
Despite being called a "bug," the massive creature that appeared on Yuuugen's field was far from insect-like. Its enormous body evoked images of a miniature monster from a Japanese tokusatsu show, albeit with a more menacing art style. It had a crimson-hued exoskeleton as if drenched in blood, standing upright in a humanoid form, with a gaping maw filled with sharp white teeth and viscous fluids.
"Summon, Winner Bug Victoria!"
[Winner Bug Victoria, ATK 0]
Napoleon Coach anxiously exclaimed, "It seems like a rather formidable bug has emerged, Aruru."
Kouronosu added, "Monsters with an attack power of 0 are usually quite dangerous, None."
Indeed, the professor's experience proved to be accurate.
"The effect of Winner Bug Victoria," Yuuugen explained, "This card's attack power increases by 500 points for each Reptile-Type monster with the name 'Winner Bug' in my graveyard."
Both professors stiffened.
Yuuugen's graveyard contained Winner Bugs, which meant...
Manjome clarified, "The effect of Future Fusion, stacking 25 Winner Bugs directly from the deck into the graveyard."
"Currently, I have 25 Winner Bugs in my graveyard," Yuuugen stated, "Consequently, Winner Bug Victoria's attack power becomes..."
[Winner Bug Victoria, ATK 0 → 12,500]
"Mama Mia!"
The two professors cried out in unison.
"An attack power of 12,500!" Kouronosu exclaimed, "What kind of monster is this, None!"
Napoleon slumped in despair, "Can we truly defeat an opponent like this? Kouronosu, you're the acting principal now."
Previously, when Kouronosu was acting as the temporary principal, Napoleon would address him this way. Although the principal had returned, and Kouronosu was no longer acting in that role, Napoleon had grown accustomed to calling him by this title.
Kouronosu shook his head, regaining his composure, "Don't speak such discouraging words! There's definitely still a chance! We can't give up, None!"
Touka, with his arms crossed, chuckled, "Yuuugen sure isn't making it easy for you two."
Marudome Shou sighed, "Suddenly, I feel a bit sorry for the professors."
Napoleon, on the other hand, was ready to bounce back.
"It seems Kouronosu isn't much help. I'll have to rely on myself," Napoleon Coach said, "My turn, draw!"
As he spoke, the adorable toy soldiers on his field began to glow.
"The effect of Toy Soldiers! During my Standby Phase, while this card is on the field, I can Special Summon any number of 'Toy Soldiers' from my deck!"
Napoleon Coach retrieved two cards he had searched for in his deck.
"I Special Summon the other two 'Toy Soldiers' to the field!"
[Toy Soldiers, ATK 800] x2
In one breath, he summoned three toy soldiers!
"Then, I activate the Spell Card, 'Law of Desire,' and draw two cards from my deck."
"Watch closely, this is my ultimate combo!" Napoleon declared, "I activate the Spell Card, 'Flute and Drum Corps'!
During this turn, the ATK of all monsters on my field with 1000 or less ATK becomes doubled!" (Original Card)
This was an original card used by Professor Napoleon in the anime.
[Toy Soldiers, ATK 800 → 1600] x3
"Additionally, I activate the Spell Card, 'Forced March'!" Napoleon continued, "Halve the ATK of all monsters I control, and this turn, they can all attack your Life Points directly!" (Original Card)
"Nice!" Kouronosu exclaimed, "This way, we can bypass the front line's blockade and deal a massive blow in one go!"
Napoleon announced, "Battle!
The ATK of the three Toy Soldiers is halved, and they attack Yuuugen directly, Aruru!"
[Toy Soldiers, ATK 1600 → 800]
Three toy soldiers raised their trumpet-like spears in unison, and three gunshots rang out. The bullets flew towards Yuuugen, completely disregarding the towering Yichong in front of him.
However, Yuuugen remained calm, "I activate my Set card, Continuous Trap 'Soul Barrier'!"
As the trap took effect, a faint transparent energy was released from the three Yichong on his field, combining to form a pale golden defensive barrier between Yuuugen and the monsters.
The bombardment from the Toy Soldiers all landed on the golden barrier, creating ripples that washed over it, but failed to inflict any damage.
"Not bad," Yuuugen chuckled, "But as long as Soul Barrier remains on the field and I have monsters on my field, I won't take any battle damage."
"What?"
Napoleon's face stiffened, and he looked at Yuuugen's field with a grim expression.
"Does that mean I have to face those bugs?"
There was a tricky Yichong that returned a monster to the hand when flipped, and a super giant with 12,000 ATK.
The coach's scalp was already tingling, and he couldn't help but question himself again.
Did we really win against this opponent?
The coach clenched his teeth.
No, I can't think like that. This duel is a must-win, no matter what. There's no turning back.
"I Set a card, and it's the end of my turn," Napoleon said.
"Finally, it's my turn again. I draw a card."
Yuuugen drew a card and then revealed a hand card.
"I activate the spell card 'Angel's Charity'. I draw three cards from my deck and then discard two cards to the graveyard."
He discarded two cards and then flipped the face-down monster on his field.
"I Flip Summon 'Aganamamax'!"
[Aganamamax, ATK 1000]
The Yichong flipped over, revealing its hideous and terrifying appearance once again. Simultaneously, an ominous power burst forth from it, heading straight for Kouronosu's field.
"When Aganamamax is flipped, return one monster on the opponent's field to their hand."
Yuuugen snapped his fingers.
"Return 'Antique Gear Soldier' from Kouronosu's field to his hand!"
The defensive Antique Gear Soldier was enveloped in an unseen force and flew back to Kouronosu's hand as a beam of light.
Kouronosu's field suddenly became empty, and his face paled.
"Also, change the face-down 'Zexer' to Attack Position."
[Zexer, ATK 1800]
"Battle!" Yuuugen declared, "Victory Winner Bug, direct attack Kouronosu!"
The crimson giant-like Yichong let out a mighty roar, and a powerful punch flew towards Kouronosu's head!
A direct attack with 12,500 ATK! Despair filled Kouronosu's eyes.
"That's it, Kouronosu!"
They were too strong; they had no chance at all.
Being expelled from the academy, begging students for interviews, and now facing such a failed interview. Perhaps, Kouronosu de Medici's life was destined to be a failure.
But at that moment, a loud shout came from the side.
"I activate my Set card, Trap Card 'Toy Cannon'!" Napoleon shouted.
"Change the opponent's monster to Defense Position and inflict 400 damage to them!" (Original Card Effect)
Kouronosu: "!"
