Chapter 976: The Duelist
Chapter 976: The Duelist
A deep, thunderous roar reverberated through the air, like the howl of an ancient beast shaking the very fabric of space. From the depths of hell, darkness surged, and a rugged demonic armor slowly emerged, its towering form resembling a black mountain in the distance.
"So, this monster is the embodiment of the Emperor's power?" Yubel asked.
The Emperor's power, which once stood alongside her, sweeping through thousands of troops, now found itself on the opposing side.
"But even if the Emperor wants me to give up, hehe, it won't be that easy."
Yubel's tone turned sharp as she played another card from her hand.
"Activate a face-down card, Continuous Trap - Limit Revival, revive a monster with an attack power of 1000 or less from the Graveyard!"
Jou was startled, "At this moment?"
"Could it be the God-Eater of the Left?" Jou asked with a heavy tone.
"No, the attack power of the Eraser is '?'." The Emperor replied coldly, "It doesn't meet the revival conditions of 'Limit Revival'."
Jou realized, "So that's how it is!"
The K language is profound and extensive, and the path to mastery is endless. However, this kind of theoretical knowledge isn't Jou's forte, so he often struggles with the finer details.
Of course, this doesn't hinder his divine card choices. Jou has always relied more on intuition than brainpower in his duels, and the results often prove that his instincts are more reliable than overthinking.
Since it wasn't the Eraser, the only monster the opponent could revive at this point was...
"Even with countless scars, I will rise again from the deepest depths of hell!
Revive 'Yubel' from the Graveyard!"
A dark vortex opened in the underworld, and the black whirlpool condensed into a demonic humanoid. With two bodies, emotionless heterochromia, and thorny vines like snakes coiling around it.
【Yubel, Attack Power 0】
Come, Emperor. Use your absolute power to trample me mercilessly."
Demon Zoja let out a cry and quickly vanished.
Yubel was also engulfed by the darkness, but instead of disappearing, a powerful force rebounded, causing her body to rapidly grow into a mountain-like dragon form with two ferocious heads and a blood-red single eye on its chest.
【Yubel - The Abhorred Knight, Attack Power 0】
Yubel spoke, "When 'Yubel' is destroyed by a card effect, Special Summon the second stage from the Hand, Deck, or Graveyard..."
"To gain power, I transformed into an ugly form, becoming a pitiful knight despised by all. This is my second form, The Abhorred Knight."
【Yubel - The Abhorred Knight, Attack Power 0】
Jou was slightly dazed by Yubel's words.
"Having just destroyed two monsters, its Attack Power rises to 3400!"
Emperor glanced at Jou and said in a chilling tone, "The Duel Arena is a battlefield. Is this the time for you to be daydreaming?"
Jou was taken aback.
"When you step into the Duel Arena, the only thing you need to think about is victory, nothing more. No matter who the opponent is, no matter what entanglements there are, it's always the same." Emperor spoke calmly, "Even if the opponent is Yubel."
"If you lose here, what will Yubel and that Demonic Deity do next to this school and the people you care about? Do you want to hide behind that Duel King for your entire life, letting him handle everything for you?"
Jou: "..."
The newest and smallest voice spoke up, "69th book, let's start the first chapter!"
Jou lowered his head and remained silent for a few seconds.
Then, with a smile, he said, "It's true, to be lectured by someone like you... I really don't want to." He chuckled, "I was just catching my breath. Of course, I understand what you're saying.
Even without your words, I'm always fully committed in Duels, with no foreplay or build-up needed!"
However, with Yubel's resummoning of The Abhorred Knight, it's as if an invincible shield has reappeared. Only self-inflicted damage would result from a direct attack.
Emperor stated, "Let's observe for now."
Jou nodded, "I understand. I'll set two cards in the backrow and end my turn."
Yubel declared, "It's pointless to do anything now!
My turn, draw!"
Yubel took a step forward and shouted with her hoarse voice.
Emperor: "Trap!"
Jou: "I know! Activating a Set card, Trap Card 'Entry Forbidden - No Entry'!
All Attack Position monsters on the field change to Defense Position!"
【Yubel - The Abhorred Knight, Attack Power 0 → Defense Power 0】
