Chapter 928: The Unknown Yeshen
Chapter 928: The Unknown Yeshen
Well, this was quite unexpected for You Xuan.
He initially intended to make a grand entrance, with flashy special effects, a stunning arrival, and a superhero-like landing pose.
However, he hadn't anticipated that his landing spot would be right on top of someone else's sacrificial altar.
And so, it seemed only natural for those present to assume he was an incarnation of the Yeshen, or at least a messenger.
You Xuan pondered for a couple of seconds.
His original plan was simple: a swift infiltration, followed by a chaotic killing spree. He would question those who cooperated and beat up those who didn't until they agreed to talk.
A typical Knight of Hanuo-style infiltration.
But now that they mistook him for a messenger of the Yeshen, he might be able to take advantage of the situation.
Unfortunately, before he could put this idea into action, an unexpected development interrupted him.
A pitch-black bolt of lightning descended from the sky, roaring towards You Xuan's location.
You Xuan stood firmly in place, motionless, as a transparent white magical array barrier instantly appeared above his head. The mighty lightning bolt struck the barrier, sending shockwaves in all directions, but the barrier held firm.
The missed attack seemed to provoke an angry roar from within the thundercloud, and a second bolt of lightning descended. This time, it wasn't aimed at You Xuan but instead struck the bishop standing outside the altar.
The bishop's eyes widened in shock, and he let out a string of "Ahhhh!" as the lightning hit him.
In the next moment, a powerful force erupted from the bishop's body, and a faint, ghostly figure seemed to materialize above his head.
You Xuan was all too familiar with this state.
Something had possessed him.
"Dare to intrude upon the altar and disrupt the ritual!" the bishop's eyes turned pitch-black as he spoke slowly.
"Unforgivable sin."
The sudden change caught everyone off guard, leaving the congregation below confused and unsure of what was happening.
The overwhelming pressure that seemed to suppress everyone's spirits, preventing them from raising their heads or even breathing freely, was undoubtedly the same oppressive aura they had experienced before from the Yeshen.
The bishop's state was identical to when the Yeshen had possessed him previously, indicating that the Yeshen had apparently manifested itself in the bishop once again.
Given this turn of events, it seemed that the handsome young man who had descended from the sky was not just a messenger of the Yeshen.
"So, you're the Yeshen?" You Xuan asked.
The bishop glared at him without replying.
"If the master himself has arrived, then all the better," You Xuan nodded. "I had planned to start with your underlings and work my way up to find out who you are.
But since you're here, it saves me the trouble."
He activated his Duel Disk.
The bishop, or rather, the entity possessing him, stared at You Xuan for a moment.
Then, in a hoarse voice, he said, "The strong of the mortal realm believe they have achieved greatness in their own little world. How very amusing."
The bishop extended his hand, and the swirling darkness behind him coalesced around his arm, transforming into the shape of a Duel Disk. The black mist also gathered in the slots, materializing into a deck.
"Duel!" x2
[You Xuan, LP: 4000]
[Bishop, LP: 4000]
"I'll go first and draw a card," You Xuan said.
You Xuan quickly glanced at his hand.
"Set one monster in Defense Position."
A monster card appeared face-down in the back row.
"Then, I activate the Spell Card 'Hand Erasure.' Both players discard all cards in their hands and then draw the same number of cards from their decks.
Both players discard their hands and then draw new cards.
"Finally, I'll set a card face-down and end my turn." You Xuan stated.
Unexpectedly, the duel unfolded on the sacrificial altar, leaving the congregation bewildered and momentarily speechless, unsure of what was happening.
"A defensive formation and building up resources in the graveyard, I presume." The priest commented, "But the inherent risk of 'Hand Wipe' is that while you accumulate resources in your graveyard, you also give your opponent the same opportunity."
"Indeed."
You Xuan smiled.
"Then, Yeshen-sama must seize this opportunity."
Priest: "My turn, I draw a card."
He, too, quickly glanced at his hand and then drew two cards without much hesitation.
"I'll set a monster in Defense Position," the priest said, "and then set another face-down card. End of my turn."
"Oh, so you're not attacking?" You Xuan smiled, "Then aren't you wasting a rare opportunity?"
The priest remained unbothered and calmly responded.
"Your turn."
"How cold. It seems Yeshen-sama isn't the chatty type." You Xuan smiled.
The priest replied, "If you're trying to probe me, don't bother."
"No, you're overthinking it. Let's just chat casually. My turn, I draw a card."
As You Xuan spoke, he casually flipped over a monster card on his Duel Disk.
"Since you're not attacking, I'll take the initiative and flip this card.
Flip Summon 'Black Forest Witch'."
The monster card flipped, and a witch in a black robe flew out of the card illustration, standing silently in the center of the field.
"Then, I'll flip a face-down card," You Xuan said, "Trap Card, 'Weapon Call'."
The trap card activated, and a transparent green whirlpool opened in the air above You Xuan's field, resembling a teleportation portal.
"The effect of Weapon Call allows me to add an Equip Spell Card from my deck to my hand. If I have a monster on my field that meets the equipment conditions, I can equip this card to that monster."
A monster card automatically popped out from You Xuan's deck, which he drew and waved in his hand.
"I add the Equip Spell Card 'Magic Wand' from my deck to my hand."
The deck automatically shuffled in the Duel Disk's slot.
"The Magic Wand can be equipped to a Spellcaster-Type monster, and the Black Forest Witch meets the equipment conditions," You Xuan explained, "I'll equip the Magic Wand to the Black Forest Witch, increasing its Attack Points by 500."
Magical power converged on the field, taking the form of a staff that gathered in the witch's hand.
[Black Forest Witch: ATK 1100 → ATK 1600]
"The effect of the Magic Wand sends both the wand and the equipped monster to the graveyard, and I draw two cards from my deck."
The witch waved her wand, releasing its final magic, and then she and the wand vanished together.
"The effect of the wand allows me to draw cards," the priest said, "and it seems to trigger the witch's search ability as well."
"Wow, you seem to know a lot."
You Xuan drew two cards and smiled.
"Not bad. Now, the effect of the Black Forest Witch itself.
By sending this card to the graveyard, I can add a monster with 1500 or less DEF from my deck to my hand.
The card I want to add from my deck to my hand is this one."
The deck performed another automatic search, and the popped-up monster card was drawn into his hand.
"From my deck, I add this card with 0 DEF, 'Chaos Summoner', to my hand."
