Chapter 1369: Chain After Chain
"Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, attack ‘Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode'!"
As soon as Kagemaru finished speaking, Lord of Searing Flames opened his mouth, and the flames from purgatory gathered in the devil's mouth and locked onto the Stardust Dragon not far away!
"Although the ‘Hyper Blaze' failed to activate the last turn and be destroyed by your Stardust Dragon, it is also a trap card." Kagemaru sneered, "In addition, as the cost of activating the ‘Hyper Blaze' effect, I also discarded an extra trap card from the deck to the graveyard last turn.
Now, the number of trap cards in my graveyard is five! Therefore, the attack power of Lord of Searing Flames is…"
[Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, ATK 5000]
Attack power 5,000!
Yusei frowned slightly: "It's actually 5,000 attack power…"
"Hahahaha, any tactics and strategies are meaningless in the face of absolute power!" Kagemaru shouted, "Go, Lord of Searing Flames! Smash that abominable dragon!"
The flames burst out, and the Stardust Dragon tried its best to resist, but the starlight it spewed was quickly disintegrated by the hellfire. The impact of the flames was like an overwhelming blanket that enveloped it, and the Stardust Dragon wailed helplessly, its silver-white and dazzling body was quickly melted under the burning of the flames.
"Uh ah!"The domineering flames blasted through Yusei, and the D-Wheel was like rushing into a flame storm. The impact and burning sensation from the Sacred Beast stimulated his nerves violently, making it almost impossible for him to maintain his balance.
【Yusei, LP 4000 → LP 2000】
“Yusei lost half of his life in one go!” The commentator with the airplane head seemed to be nervous for Brother Crabhead, “After a series of attacks and defenses, finally it was Kagemaru who took the lead.
Yusei is in danger!”
“Hahahaha, see? This is the absolute power of the Sacred Beast!” Kagemaru laughed, “Your monsters may have some extraordinary features, but they are not enough in front of the Sacred Beast!”
And in this way, the biggest threat to Kagemaru is eliminated. Next, as long as he enters Main Phase 2, he can use the effect of “Fallen Paradise” to draw cards again and arrange for further development!
Fallen Paradise was a typical card that earned more the more turns you had it. If the effect of Fallen Paradise was used again this turn, Kagemaru would draw four cards with this field in just two turns, which was a literal profit.
The only obstacle in front of this effect is Yusei’s Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode.
Yusei stopped his D-Wheel from running off the track, and regained his balance to catch up.
Then he smiled.
"That's not necessarily true."
"Huh?"
"Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode has the ability to negate spell, trap, and monster effects, so as long as it is there, no matter what you do, it will be negated.
So I had already expected that you would defeat Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode through battle." Yusei said.
"So what?" Kagemaru frowned.
"Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode's effect is activated!" Yusei said, "When this card on the field is destroyed, I can Special Summon ‘Stardust Dragon' from my Graveyard!"
"Summon Stardust Dragon again?" Kagemaru chuckled, "Hmph, with an attack power of 2500, the effect is far inferior to the Assault Mode. At this point, even if you summon this monster, it will be useless in front of the Sacred Beast…"
"At this moment, open the set card!" Yusei waved and turned over another backfield, "Trap Card ‘Wave Rebound'!" (Animation Card)
"Wave… Rebound?" Kagemaru had a bad feeling.
"This card can only be activated when an effect that Special Summons Synchro Monster(s) from the Graveyard is activated!" Yusei said, "Negate the activation of the card effect and inflict damage to the opponent equal to the ATK of the Synchro Monster(s)!"
Kagemaru: "!?"
In other words, he intends to negate his Stardust Dragon Special Summon and use this to rebound the damage to me?!
There is such an operation!?
The shadow of the Stardust Dragon briefly appeared in midair, and then quickly turned into a starlight and flew straight towards Kagemaru!
"Yusei Fudo has done something unexpected again!" The commentator shouted excitedly, "He predicted that the opponent would defeat his ‘Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode' through battle, and in turn used the effect of reviving the Stardust Dragon, then negating his own summon and causing damage!"
"Oh! Yusei is so imaginative in combining cards!" Judai couldn't help but say, "It's amazing that he can come up with such a combo…"
This evaluation was indeed correct. The combination of different card effects was indeed Yusei's personal characteristic among the protagonists of all generations. There was no other protagonist in the seven generations of Yu-Gi-Oh who could play with the unknown-meaning effects like Yusei.
"Hmph, it's pretty good for a counterattack. I can see that you really tried your best." Kagemaru snorted arrogantly, "But! I am far ahead of you in duels!
Open the set card: Counter Trap – Barrel Behind the Door!'"
"It's Barrel Behind the Door!!!" The commentator was not calm again, "When the opponent activates an effect that inflicts damage, this Counter Trap can be activated, and the damage you receive can be reflected back to the opponent!
And because this card is a Counter Trap, it has Spell Speed 3, the fastest speed among all effects, so no matter whether it is a regular Trap, Quick-Play Spell, or monster effect, it cannot be activated in response to the activation of this card!"
Judai's face in the audience also changed slightly: "Eh? If the damage of ‘Wave Rebound' is reflected, doesn't it mean…"
"Stardust Dragon's attack power value, that is, 2500 points of damage will be directly reflected back to Yusei Fudo himself!" The commentator has already kicked over his table, "How can this happen? In this case, does it mean that Yusei Fudo will lose because of his own combo!?"
The answer was… Of course not!
Yusei curled his lips and revealed his signature confident smile.
He had expected the possibility of such a counterattack… He had already anticipated it!
"Open the set card!" Yusei flipped another backfield card, "Counter Trap——
——'Shining Silver Force'!"
A variant of Hanoi's Holy Power!
"Shining Silver Force can only be activated when the opponent activates a trap card that inflicts effect damage." Yusei shouted, "Negate the activation of that card and destroy it and all face-up Spell and Trap Cards the opponent controls!"
Kagemaru: "!!"
What! ?
Not only is the activation negated, but all face-up Spell and Trap Cards must also be destroyed…
Kagemaru looked at his own field in shock.
There was another face-up Spell on his field…
…Fallen Paradise!
So the target is Fallen Paradise!?
No, not only is Fallen Paradise destroyed, but if "Barrel Behind the Door" was negated, it means there is also effect damage from "Wave Rebound"!
"By the way, ‘Shining Silver Force' is also a Counter Trap." Yusei said, "It is the only card that can be activated in response to a Counter Trap!
Therefore, the activation of ‘Barrel Behind the Door' is invalid, you have to bear 2500 damage from ‘Wave Rebound', and all the face-up Spell and Trap Cards on your field must be destroyed!"
The light of stardust poured down, sweeping across Kagemaru's D-Wheel with a devastating momentum! At the same time, the huge dark field also collapsed under the reflected power, and the towering dark giant tree was broken in half, and the Fallen Paradise fell apart!
Kagemaru: "Uh ah ah!!!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
