NOVEL NEXT Chapter 6: Do You Have Any Opinion?
"…Activate Spell Card – Last Day of Witch!"
Yuei Vu pressed the button on the Duel Disk, and the set card on the field was turned over immediately.
That was also a normal spell card, the card art was a wooden cross, a weeping woman bound by ropes and kneeling on the ground, and an executioner wearing a golden helmet and holding a long knife. (1)
Last Day of Witch was not a rare card. In World Link Online, the rarity of cards was divided into (from low to high): N (Normal), NR (Normal Rare), R (Rare), SR (Super Rare), UR (Ultra Rare), and USR (Ultra Secret Rare).
The rarity of the Last Day of Witch spell card was only N. It belonged to the most common and low-end flat card among all cards and was extremely easy to get. World Link Online players who have played this game for a long time could have 70-80 copies of this card.
Although Yuei Vu didn't have it in his initial card set, he exchanged it in advance with the coupons that were given by the system when he created the account. The purpose was to specifically deal with this hidden mission. (Anyway, the card coupons given by the system did not seem to be redeemable for other useful things)
However, this ordinary N card that players would despise even if it was given away for free, was indeed a deadly trump card for countering Pandora's deck.
"Last Day of Witch is a card that can destroy all face-up Spellcaster-Type monsters on the field.." Yuei Vu chuckled, "Even your so-called most advanced Dark magician is no exception!"
"Wait… what!?" Pandora's expression changed suddenly, and the white mask on his face almost fell off.
How can there be such a card?
I don't believe you if you told me that this thing wasn't printed by you on the spot! ??
No one except Duel King dares to blatantly print a card like this, okay?
However, it was useless for Pandora to refuse to accept it. He could only watch his two ace monsters entangled with powerful magic power and turned into ashes under the suppression of the absolute power of the spell card.
"…Impossible, how can there be such a card?" Pandora's face twisted, and he began to doubt life, "No, before that, why did you have it in your deck? Did you already know that I would meet you and I would use a Dark Magician deck!?"
Facing Pandora's shocked questioning, Yuei Vu shrugged indifferently.
He really was right about this. Yuei Vu had been waiting for him for most of the night, and he had long known that he would use a Dark Magician deck.
Sure enough, Pandora didn't seem to feel anything wrong with Yuei Vu's practice of "activating normal spell cards in the opponent's turn", he only seemed to think that the effect of this Last Day of Witch was like a fake card…
... Having said that, as a member of Ghouls, the biggest fake card group in the Yu-Gi-Oh! world, he didn't seem to have the position to accuse people of using fake cards. (Not to mention that his opponent didn't do that)
"Then it's my turn!"
The duel continued.
At this time, Pandora was regretful.
Although the spell card "Dark Magic Curtain" has the powerful effect of unconditionally summoning a Dark magician out of the deck, it was not without side effects.
Not only did the user need to pay half of their LP to use this spell card, but they couldn't summon other monsters the turn this card was activated.
In fact, if Pandora directly attacked the Dark magician on the field, it was enough to establish victory. But before the final blow, he became arrogant and wanted to show off. The result was that now not only his field was empty, but 1900 LP were also paid in vain.
If he didn't play Dark Magic Curtain so recklessly, then even if the Dark Magician on the field was destroyed by Last Day of Witch, he could still use the Dark Magic Curtain to summon another one, and the situation would be different.
But it doesn't matter, I still have 1900 LP left.
The boy just now said that the Normie (referring to Sparkman) with an attack power of 1600 is already his trump card. Now his field is also empty, and he may not be able to summon monsters in the next round to destroy my last 1900 LP.
Pandora began to console himself.
As long as I can make it to the next turn, I still have a chance!
"My turn. Draw!"
Yuei Vu glanced at the card he drew: "Summon Elemental HERO Sparkman!"
The blue electric current throbbed around, and the slender blue warrior flew out with the help of a three-dimensional projection.
Elemental HERO Sparkman No. 2!
[Elemental HERO Sparkman, Attack Power 1600]
Pandora breathed a sigh of relief.
So far so good. It seemed that the monster really has the highest attack power in the opponent's deck. Even if he bore this direct attack, he still had the last 300 LP left…
However, Yuei Vu took out another card from his hand and inserted it into the slot of the duel disk.
"Activate the Equip Spell card… Legendary Sword! Equip the Legendary Sword to the Elemental HERO Sparkman!"
A blade of the golden hilt appeared out of thin air in front of Sparkman, who grabbed it, and the blue electric snake instantly wrapped around the sword body exuding cold light.
[Legendary Sword: Equip only to a Warrior monster. It gains 300 ATK/DEF.]
[Elemental HERO Sparkman, ATK 1600 → ATK 1900]
[Pandora, LP 1900]
Pandora: The smile gradually faded. JPG
This?… It's definitely a printed card, right?
Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen? ? ?
"Sparkman!" Yuei Vu pointed forward, "Direct attack!"
Sparkman rushed forward with his sword in his hand, and the electric current was suddenly entangled, and the afterimage was as fast as a flash of lightning.
The blade wrapped in Sparkman instantly occupied his entire field of vision. Pandora screamed in horror and hurriedly covered her head with her arms.
""
The sword of thunder and lightning slashed down, and it brought a real sense of impact. Pandora let out a miserable cry, rolled his eyes exaggeratedly, and lay on his back on the ground.
[Pandora, LP 1900 → LP 0]
I won.
At the same time, Yuei Vu system also popped up a prompt.
[Hidden quest "The Challenge From Ghouls!" completed!]
[Receive a reward [Dark Magician], please check it in the system card library. "
So comfortable.
Yuei Vu immediately opened the system card library, and gleefully checked the newly acquired Dark Magician.
It's a pity that his Dark Magician was the black-skinned and red-armored version in Pandora's hand, was not as fashionable as the one in the game.
But he was already content.
Years after World Link Online was launched, there were only a few players who got the Dark Magician, and it was very good to be able to get such a card.
In addition, his system card pool finally expanded. Now he had a chance to acquire the powerful support card of the Dark Magician!
In the age of DMs when dueling cards were not so fancy, the strength of the entire Dark Magician set was quite impressive.
Yuei Vu put away the Duel Disk with satisfaction and turned around to leave. Suddenly he stopped, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Pandora, who was paralyzed on the ground, and rolled his eyes.
In fact, when he watched the DM animation, he wanted to complain. It was clearly just playing a card game, why did all the Ghouls fall to the ground after losing? It looked like they were about to die from exhaustion…
Though an ordinary duel would have a certain amount of impact damage but wasn't this reaction too exaggerated?
Could it be that their master Marik planted a curse on each of them that would trigger when they lost?
That's pretty cruel…
Yuei Vu wanted to leave at first, but suddenly thought of something, turned around, and walked back to the collapsed Pandora, leaning over and pulling out his entire deck from the Duel Disk in his left hand.
"According to the rules of ante, I will accept your rare cards." Yuei Vu took the opponent's card deck for a while, "but because I haven't figured out which one to take, I will take them all to carefully choose. Do you have any opinion? Well, I take your silence as a yes, that's it…"
So without waiting for Pandora to reply, he grabbed the deck and swaggered away.
Pandora: "@#!%&*"
