NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1278: Paradox Dragon
The Malefic World was in turmoil, and ripples appeared in the deep darkness. What appeared in the Malefic World was a giant body that stood tall and straight, dragging golden lightning all over its body. It was like a moving black mountain, with the domineering power of a king.
[Lord of the Heavenly Prison, ATK 3000]
"The follow-up effect of Lord of the Heavenly Prison," said Paradox, "If this card is Special Summoned from the hand by its own effect while it was revealed, I can reveal and Set 1 Spell/Trap directly from my Deck."
Paradox drew a card that popped out of the deck.
"I'll set the trap card ‘Multiple Destruction' from the deck."
"Lord of the Heavenly Prison… you really got some trouble things."
Yuei Vu glanced at the dark king standing tall on Paradox's field and shrugged.
After all, even in the real card environment many years later, this was still a very powerful monster, and it could completely serve as the big brother of any heavy trap deck.
The effect of Royal Straight Slasher was only once per turn, and his attack power was obviously not as good as that of Lord of the Heavenly Prison. So Yuei Vu simply gave up the battle of this turn: "Then my turn is over."
After a pause, he added: "However, at the end of the turn, the effect of ‘Joker's Knight' in the graveyard is activated. During the End Phase, if this card is in my GY: I can target 1 other LIGHT Warrior monster in your GY; shuffle it into the Deck, then add this card to my hand."Yuei Vu drew out two cards that had been withdrawn from the graveyard, put one back into the deck shuffled it, and added the other to his hand.
"I return the ‘Jack's Knight' from the graveyard to the deck and add the ‘Joker's Knight' to my hand."
"Then it's my turn."
Entering the Draw Phase, Paradox did not rush to draw a card, but raised his arm.
"At this moment, the effect of the Field Spell ‘Malefic World' is activated." He said, "Instead of conducting a normal draw during my Draw Phase, I can randomly add 1 ‘Malefic' monster from my Deck to my hand." (anime effect)
The deck was automatically shuffled "swish swish", and after the shuffle was completed, a card was automatically adjusted to the top of the deck and popped out.
Paradox drew the card into his hand, took a look, and then showed it at the same time as another card in his hand.
"Activate the Spell Card ‘Trade-In'," he said, "Discard 1 Level 8 monster; draw 2 cards.
I discard the ‘Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in my hand to the graveyard, and draw two cards."
Paradox drew two cards, and then showed another card in his hand: "The effect of the ‘Malefic Cyber End Dragon'! Send the ‘Cyber End Dragon' from the Extra Deck to the graveyard, and this card can be special summoned directly.
Show up ——
—— Malefic Cyber End Dragon!!!"
The steel behemoth appeared with a roar, and the friction of parts made a pleasant metallic sound. Endless electric currents burst out, wrapping around the steel body of the three-headed dragon!
[Malefic Cyber End Dragon, ATK 4000]
Yusei: "Summoning such a powerful monster in an instant…"
Although Brother Crabhead, who was born in the 5DS era, had definitely never seen a Cyber End Dragon, he could feel this dragon was extraordinary from its momentum. Even if he didn't know its effects and characteristics, he could recognize it as a particularly cool ace monster at a glance.
This person in front of him could summon ace-level monsters as easily as eating and drinking water.
And it's not just that.
"Next is the effect of ‘Malefic Paradigm Dragon' in the hand." Paradox continued, "‘Malefic Paradigm Dragon' can be Special Summoned by banishing a ‘Malefic' monster from the Extra Deck.
I banish ‘Malefic Paradox Dragon' from the Extra Deck! Show up here –
—— Malefic Paradigm Dragon!!!"
Another big brother of the Malefic series appeared. The huge dragon's body seemed to be covered in silver-white armor, the whole body was pulsating with electricity, and the mouth spews out blue flames!
[Malefic Paradigm Dragon, ATK 4000]
"Then activate the Set card retrieved from the deck last turn: Trap Card ‘Multiple Destruction'!" Paradox said, "Both players put all the cards in their hands in the Graveyard, then I lose LP equal to the total number of cards discarded by this effect x 100. After that, each player draws 5 cards!" (anime effect)
Paradox discarded all the remaining cards in his hand and drew five cards from his deck: "I discarded three cards."
"I discard four cards." Yuei Vu said and also drew five cards from his deck.
"A total of seven cards were discarded, so I lost 700 LP."
[Paradox, LP 4000 → LP 3300]
"Due to the effect of ‘Malefic World', when there is a ‘Malefic' monster on my field, monsters other than ‘Malefic' monsters cannot attack." (Animation effect)
Paradox chuckled.
"Although it's a pity, since the Lord of the Heavenly Prison can't attack, it has completed his mission.
I activate the Spell Card ‘Advance Draw'! Tribute 1 face-up Level 8 or higher monster I control; draw 2 cards. Therefore, I release the level 10 ‘Lord of the Heavenly Prison' and draw two cards.
Then I Normal Summon ‘Malefic Paradox Gear'!"
[Malefic Paradox Gear, ATK 0]
"The effect of Malefic Paradox Gear! If a face-up Field Spell is on the field, I can Tribute this card and Special Summon a ‘Malefic Parallel Gear' from the deck.
I release ‘Malefic Paradox Gear'! Come out, Tuner monster ‘Malefic Parallel Gear'!"
Yusei's eyes moved slightly: "Tuner monster?"
[Malefic Parallel Gear, ATK 0]
"The subsequent effect of ‘Malefic Paradox Gear'! After activating this effect, I can add another ‘Malefic' monster from my deck to my hand.
Therefore, I add ‘Malefic Stardust Dragon' from the deck to my hand!"
Brother Crabhead's pupils shrank again.
Stardust?
Who is this guy? How come he even has Stardust in his hand?
"The effect of ‘Malefic Parallel Gear'! When using this card as a Synchro Material Monster, the other Synchro Material Monster is 1 "Malefic" monster in my hand!
So I'm going to use the Level 2 ‘Malefic Parallel Gear' on the field and the Level 8 ‘Malefic Stardust Dragon' in my hand to Synchro Summon!"
[2+8=10]
"Born from threshold of the dimension of Darkness, time to lower the curtain of destruction on the stage that surpasses time and space! Synchro Summon —
— Level 10, Malefic Paradox Dragon!!!"
The Synchro exclusive to the Malefic series, the dragon that echoed Paradox's own name, was here!
[Malefic Paradox Dragon, ATK 4000]
"Monsters with 4,000 ATK… Three of them were summoned in an instant?" Yusei frowned slightly.
This opponent is really scary!
Such deployment ability and suppression power are second to none even among all the opponents he had encountered.
But then he glanced at Senior Yuei Vu, who seemed to be very calm.
It should be… no problem, right?
