Chapter 894: Heraklinos
Okay, this was a bit unexpected.
Although according to the normal process, the LV series monsters needed to gradually upgrade and become stronger as the number of battles and turns increased, as mentioned before, this is too inefficient and slow, making it difficult for the LV series to cope with the fast pace of the current duel environment.
But if you wanted to reach the full level in one step, it was not completely impossible.
The LV series had some support cards that could subvert this situation. But generally speaking, these cards could only speed up the evolution of LV monsters to the next stage. Directly breaking through two realms and summoning the ultimate form of the Black Flame Dragon like this was really unexpected.
[Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8, ATK 3000]
"As long as the Black Flame Dragon LV8 exists on the field, I can negate the activation and effects of any Spell Card and destroy it!" Alice said, "In other words, your Spell Card has been sealed!
Battle! I use Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 to attack the Gladiator Beast Secutor'! "
The metal dragon opened its mouth, black flames penetrated the space, and the air was filled with a pungent burnt smell.
"Open the set card!" Yuei Vu flipped the cover card in the backfield, "Trap Card Magic Cylinder! When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Target the attacking monster; negate the attack, and if inflict damage to the opponent equal to its ATK!"
A pair of exquisite magic barrels appeared on the field. One of them completely absorbed the black flames, while the other quickly flipped over, like a cannon ready to go, with the muzzle locked straight on Alice's position.
"Oh, is there really a trap? But that's also included in my calculation."
Alice quickly drew two more cards from her hand.
"Quick-Play Spell Trap Booster'! Discard 1 card. This turn, I can activate 1 Trap Card from my hand! What I want to activate is
Continuous Trap Royal Decree! "
The red trap card flipped over under the influence of magic, and an invisible but majestic force spread out.
That was an absolutely forbidden command, a forbidden area where all trap powers were bound. The powerful Magic Cylinder was eclipsed the moment it was activated, gradually becoming blurred and transparent until it completely disappeared.
"Royal Decree prohibits all traps." Alice snorted, "As long as this card is face-up on the field, all trap card effects on the field will be invalid except for this card!"
"Eh? Trap cards can't be used either?" The Dark Magician Girl on the side widened her eyes.
"That's right!" Alice laughed, "As long as the Black Flame Dragon is on the field, all Spell cards will be negated! And while the Royal Decree' is in effect, any trap cards will be negated!
In other words, everything is negated! This is my real power, absolute blockade! The moment this lineup is formed, you have already lost, Duel King! "
The Black Flame Dragon's attack continued, and the churning black flames hit Secutor as if a jet of black water completely enveloped him.
Black flames penetrated the body of Secutor, and a ball of pitch-black flame exploded with him as the center, and the dark pillar of fire shot straight into the sky.
However, when the black flames dissipated, Alice was surprised to find that the gladiator beast still seemed to be safe and sound.
[Gladiator Beast Secutor, DEF 300]
"What?"
"The effect of Shield Warrior' in the GY." Yuei Vu showed a monster card, "During damage calculation, in either player's turn: I can banish this card from my Graveyard; monsters I control cannot be destroyed by this battle.
Alice frowned slightly: "Using the effect of monsters in the Graveyard?"
"Furthermore, the moment the battle phase ends, the effect of Gladiator Beast Secutor' is also activated!"
When he finished speaking, two cards had been popped out of the thick deck.
"The effect of Secutor At the end of any Battle Phase in which this card attacked or was attacked: Special Summon 2 Gladiator Beast' monsters from my Deck!"
He drew two cards in one go.
Special summons Gladiator Beast Bestiari and Gladiator Beast Laquari!
[Gladiator Beast Bestiari, ATK 1600]
[Gladiator Beast Laquari, ATK 1800]
"The effect of Laquari If this card was Special Summoned by the effect of a Gladiator Beast' monster, its original ATK becomes 2100."
[Gladiator Beast Laquari, ATK 1800 ATK 2100]
"The effect of Bestiari If this card was Special Summoned by the effect of a Gladiator Beast' monster, target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field; destroy that target." Yuei Vu waved his hand, "The Continuous Trap Royal Decree' is destroyed!"
The bird-headed Gladiator Beast flew into the air, and the green whirlwind hit the trap card, turning it into golden light points and smashing it to pieces.
"Oh, master, you are amazing!" the Dark Magician Girl admired, "You broke through the double blockade so easily."
"Hey." Alice muttered unhappily, "But even so, as long as the Black Flame Dragon is around, you still can't use Spell Cards."
She took out two more cards.
"Set two cards, I end my turn!"
Although she was still arrogant, she was beginning to feel upset at this time. Not only did her attack fail to achieve any results, but it seemed to make the opponent's monsters attack more and more. At this moment, Yuei Vu had four " Gladiator Beasts" on the field, which made her very uneasy.
She really should be uneasy.
"Draw!"
Yuei Vu directly picked up three cards from the monster area of the Duel Disk.
"I return the three monsters Gladiator Beast Laquari', Gladiator Beast Secutor', and Gladiator Beast Hoplomus' to the deck!"
Alice's eyelids twitched.
The fusion of three Gladiator Beasts!?
"The fusion condition is Gladiator Beast Laquari' + 2 Gladiator Beast' monsters! Contact Fusion!
Gladiator Beast Heraklinos! ! ! "
With the triple fusion, the three Gladiator Beasts turned into golden light and disappeared, and powerful energy seemed to burst out from the other side of time and space!
A high-concentration energy storm swept across, and a golden shining battle ax emerged from the energy storm. The Gladiator Beast king holds a battle ax and a golden shield. The moment his footsteps hit the ground, it was like a mountain falling apart.
[Gladiator Beast Heraklinos, ATK 3000]
Alice gritted her teeth: "The same attack power as the Black Flame Dragon"
"Then I normal summon Gladiator Beast Darius'."
[Gladiator Beast Darius, ATK 1700]
"I return Gladiator Beast Bestiari' and Gladiator Beast Darius' from the field to the deck!
The fusion condition is Gladiator Beast Bestiari + 1 Gladiator Beast' monster! Contact Fusion!
The howling wind, the ruler of ancient Rome, comes again
Gladiator Beast Gyzarus! ! ! "
[Gladiator Beast Gyzarus, ATK 2400]
"Gyzarus's effect!" Yuei Vu waved his hand, "When this card is Special Summoned, up to two cards on the field will be destroyed! I will destroy Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8' and the set card on the right side of your back row! "
Gyzarus spread out his thin metal wings, and the sharp red spikes were like pouring rain!
"Open the set card: Trap Card Memory Loss!" Alice flipped over the set card in the back row, "When an effect of an Attack Position monster the opponent controls is activated: Negate that effect, and if change that monster to face-up Defense Position!
I negate the activation of Gyzarus's effect and turn it into Defense Position! "
Facing Gyzarus's attack, Alice immediately launched a tit-for-tat counterattack with traps!
But it's useless!
"The effect of Gladiator Beast Heraklinos!" Yuei Vu said, "Discard a card to negate the activation of a Spell/Trap Card and destroy it!
Negate and destroy Memory Loss'! "
The king's battle ax fell from the air, and the golden ax light smashed the force field of the trap effect into pieces, and the trap card was also split in two simultaneously.
Alice's face turned a little pale: "It actually has such an effect"
The trap failed, and Gyzarus's shot passed without any hindrance. The powerful Black Flame Dragon was unable to fight back against this force and was instantly blown to pieces.
Alice realized that she had underestimated her opponent. She had too much confidence in her duel, and she took the duel itself too much for granted.
What she thought was the absolute blockade of the iron wall was as fragile as a paper window in front of the Duel King.
"Battle!" Yuei Vu said without thinking, "Gladiator Beast Heraklinos, attack directly!"
The Gladiator Beast launched a charge with fierce momentum, and the battle ax in his hand drew a long golden arc, like a meteor falling from the sky.
Alice's pupils shrank.
It's not over yet, she still has one last resort, the last move.
"Open the set card: Trap Card Dimension Wall!" Alice shouted, "This card can only be activated when the opponent declares an attack! The opponent player will bear the battle damage caused in this battle!"
This was her trump card, a decisive move.
Yuei Vu's remaining LP was 2000, and Heraklinos's attack power was 3000. As long as the damage reflection passed, she would directly complete the counterattack and get the victory.
"The effect of Gladiator Beast Heraklinos." Yuei Vu said expressionlessly, "Discard a card to negate the activation of a Spell/Trap Card and destroy it!"
Alice: "!!??"
Nani!?
Doesn't the effect of this Gladiator Beast have a "once per turn" limit?
The last trap was also shattered, the Gladiator Beast's battle ax suddenly fell down, and Alice let out a shrill scream.
[Alice, LP 1600 LP 0]
