Chapter 839: Chapter 812: Who Are You Calling a Small Fry?
"What kind of preparation... Just a Miscellaneous Monster with 1400 Attack Power, even that Upper-Level Monster from the Dark Realm is no match for my Ultimate Horror Beast." Ryuzaki frowned, "Are you out of your mind?"
Miscellaneous Monster?
Yugen chuckled.
Calling a legendary Forbidden Card from the DM era that was more vicious than the Bouncing Turtle a Miscellaneous Monster, it’s clear he hasn’t faced the harsh realities of society.
But no worries, soon I’ll help this naive dino dude to realize.
"The effect of Cannon Soldier, by sacrificing one of the Monsters on my field, deals 500 points of damage to the opponent." Yugen said, "I sacrifice ’Dark Realm’s Martial God: Gold’ to deal 500 points of damage."
The Martial God remained silent, obediently turning into a cannonball, ready to fire as black mist surrounded the Cannon Soldier.
"Ha, sacrificing such an Upper-Level Monster just for a mere 500 points of damage?"
Ryuzaki almost burst into laughter.
"Are you really crazy?"
"I also activate the effect of ’General Raiho of the Ice Barrier’ on your field," Yugen said.
Ryuzaki: "?"
What? My field’s Monster?
"While General Raiho of the Ice Barrier is on the field, every time the opponent activates a Monster Effect, they must discard a card from their hand for the effect to go through.
If they don’t discard, the Monster Effect is negated."
Ryuzaki: "???"
What? Such a brutal ability?
It’s basically a disguised one-sided lockdown, silencing all opponent’s Monster Effects. If they don’t want to be locked down, they must pay a heavy price of discarding a card from their hand every time they activate a Monster Effect.
You’re giving me this underworld thing?
Ryuzaki was dumbfounded, even feeling uneasy accepting such a precious gift.
The Elf also seemed confused, after being shocked for a while couldn’t help but say: "Do you have to go to such lengths to self-destruct? Such a strong Monster... you’re just giving it to the opponent?"
"You’re welcome."
Yugen smiled.
Ryuzaki: "..."
Elf: "..."
"Since Laipon is on the field, if I want my Cannon Soldier’s effect to go through, I must discard a card from my hand," Yugen said, "So I discard ’Dark Realm’s Vanguard: Becky’ from my hand to protect the Cannon Soldier’s effect."
[Ryuzaki, LP2400→LP1900]
Ryuzaki took the damage calmly, scoffing: "So what if it hit? Now all your Monster Effects require the price of a hand card, how many cards do you have to discard?"
"No need for your concern."
Yugen smiled.
"The effect of the discarded ’Dark Realm’s Vanguard: Becky’, when discarded by a card effect, it can be Special Summoned.
Return to the field, Becky."
[Dark Realm’s Vanguard: Becky, Attack Power 1600]
Ryuzaki’s eyelid twitched.
Right, this guy’s Dark Realm deck, I think I noticed earlier, triggers effects by discarding from the hand through card effects.
And while the effect of General Raiho of the Ice Barrier seems like a powerful lock on its own, from another angle, it almost becomes "the opponent sets off a Monster Effect every time by discarding another card from their hand."
If that’s the case...
Ryuzaki’s smile faded, as a Legendary Duelist, his instincts began to sense something amiss, an intense sense of something very wrong...
"The effect of ’Dark Realm Dragon God: Grafa’ in the graveyard, by returning ’Dark Realm’s Vanguard: Becky’ from the field to the hand, Grafa can be Special Summoned from the graveyard.
I return the Vanguard to my hand, resurrect, Dragon God!"
The Dragon God descended again with its unparalleled arrogance. It felt like a surging wave of darkness swept from the field, the fierce Demon lurking in the dark abyss, slowly rising.
[Dark Realm Dragon God: Grafa, Attack Power 2700]
"Once again, Cannon Soldier’s effect. This time I sacrifice the freshly resurrected Dragon God to deal you 500 points of damage." Yugen smiled, "Of course, since the Cannon Soldier is activating its effect from the field.
According to Laipon’s effect, to let this effect go through, I must discard a card from my hand.
So I discard the card that just returned to my hand from the field..."
Yugen displayed the Vanguard that was returned to his hand a second ago, still warm from Dragon God’s effect.
"I discard ’Dark Realm’s Vanguard: Becky’."
Yugen squinted, smiling radiantly, but at this moment, no matter in Ryuzaki’s eyes or the Elf’s eye as a teammate, it looked particularly dangerous.
"Because I discarded my hand card, Cannon Soldier’s effect successfully activated," Yugen said, "Once again, 500 points of damage to you."
Dragon God Grafa obediently turned into a black misty cannonball, loaded into the Cannon Soldier. With a bang, it blasted out, crashing into Ryuzaki’s chest, making his face flush red and pale, stumbling backward.
[Ryuzaki, LP1900→LP1400]
"You...you..."
Ryuzaki clutched his heart, whether from fright or dread, but he could hardly speak anymore.
Yugen calmly continued.
"The effect of ’Dark Realm’s Vanguard: Becky’, discarded by a card effect to the graveyard, Special Summons back to the field."
"Effect of the Dragon God in the grave, return Becky to hand, Dragon God Special Summons from the grave."
"Cannon Soldier’s effect, sacrifice the Dragon God, reload, and fire!"
"Of course, to let this cannonball through, I also need to discard a card from my hand. Discarding ’Dark Realm’s Vanguard: Becky’ once again."
"Ugh ah ah——"
[Ryuzaki, LP1400→LP900]
Even the big-eyed Elf in the back had its large eye wide open, although it had only one eye, it was filled with disbelief.
It clearly seemed to say ——
—— Can you really do that?
Because Laipon is on the field, every time Cannon Soldier fires, Becky from the hand must be discarded. Becky jumps back out when discarded, and as long as there’s a Dark Realm Monster on the field, the graveyard’s Dragon God can revive infinite times per turn, an endless supply of ammunition.
Cannon Soldier’s effect isn’t once per turn, as long as there’s a Monster on the field it can shoot as many times.
Becky’s effect isn’t once per turn, anytime discarded by a card effect it activates.
Infinite LOOP, an infinite ammo mode, infinite firepower Cannon!
Yugen’s smile remained unchanged.
Miscellaneous Monster? Who are you calling a Miscellaneous Monster?
A plain Four-Star Mechanical Monster from the DM era, you think it’s locked up for no reason?
Looks like even after joining the dark organization and gaining power, Ryuzaki’s understanding of the duel is still innocently cute.
"As long as these cards exist in the hand, on the field, and in the graveyard, the Cannon Soldier’s ammunition for this turn is infinite."
Yugen said.
"So in the end, the damage you’ll suffer... is also infinite."
Ryuzaki: "Ah ah ah ah——"
[Ryuzaki, LP 0]
