"Are you just planning to win using this method?"
The Demon Bishop was getting agitated.
"Not at all," Yugen smiled, gesturing to the Duel Disc on his hand, "I have plenty of other interesting tricks. But the fun of a duel is for you to discover them slowly."
Demon Bishop: "..."
He paused for a moment, pulled another card from his hand with a cold face.
"Continuous Magic 'Nightmare Mirage Tower'. During the opponent's preparation phase, draw cards from the deck until having four cards in hand. But during the next turn, you must discard the number of cards drawn."
Yugen was not surprised. This was a common combo during the GX era, similar to how Pot of Greed was ubiquitous in the competitive scene.
The only difference from the competitive environment is that in the animation, whenever this item is drawn, it's always followed by an Emergency Food.
"Set one card, turn end."
"Then it's my turn, draw." Yugen drew a card.
"At the moment of the preparation phase, according to the effect of 'Nightmare Mirage Tower,' I also draw a card," said the Demon Bishop seriously.
Yugen said, "Then according to the effect of 'Free Ride,' when you draw a card outside the draw phase, I draw two cards as well."
Drawing cards along with the opponent, Yugen then scanned the opponent's backfield lineup, which also had three Cover Cards.
At this point, the opponent now had three cards in the backfield. Yugen already knew that at least one of them was Blast Armor...
The Demon Bishop narrowed his eyes.
Come on, go ahead and summon the monster to attack.
Ha, you're not the only one who digs holes...
"Activate Magic Card 'Angel's Charity'," Yugen said, "draw three cards, then discard two cards from your hand to the graveyard."
Yugen drew cards, then selected hand cards to discard into the graveyard. But immediately, a golden light burst from his graveyard, and a Monster Card that had just entered popped out again.
"One of the cards I just sent to the graveyard is this, 'Artificial Human - Telekinesis Returner,'" Yugen said, "Then at this moment, the effect of Telekinesis Returner also activates.
This card can be Special Summoned from the graveyard when sent there..."
Yugen raised his hand.
"Trap lock's Telekinesis King, Artificial Human - Telekinesis Intimidator, summon!"
Electric light burst from the vortex of the graveyard, Soga was entwined with electric light all over, arms folded, and dangerous red light flashing in mechanical eyes.
[Artificial Human - Telekinesis Intimidator, Attack Power 2400]
Finally, making a formal appearance!
Soga was spirited.
The last opportunity to appear granted by the new master ended up in transforming into Ice Blade Hand before standing stably, which frustrated the Soga Elf for a while.
Now finally getting a chance to appear, how could he not perform well?
"Artificial Human...!?"
The Demon Bishop and the Count of the Undead were shocked.
Because they could see at a glance, that this was not just an ordinary Upper-Level Monster Card, but a card hosting a true Soga Elf, a higher-ranking strong elf than both of them.
A duelist who can handle this level of elf...
Both began looking at Yugen with doubt and uncertainty.
Is this guy really a prisoner from the bunker?
Where did a small place like this get such a level of duelist?
"Bishop, be careful," the Count of the Undead said gravely, "There's definitely something wrong with this kid!"
"Tch, I know..."
The Demon Bishop was already sweating, but caught in a difficult situation on the field, he didn't dare slack: "Then activate Cover Card, Trap Card 'Bottomless Pit'! Flip the monster to face-down defense mode when successfully summoned..."
"Hmph, you don't even recognize Soga... in my world, no one would make such a stupid mistake," Yugen shrugged.
The Demon Bishop exclaimed: "Why!? Why didn't my trap activate?"
"When Artificial Human is on the field, no trap can be activated, and the effect of face-up traps becomes invalid," Yugen explained.
As he spoke, the Artificial Human Soga was executing a tactical backhand arm fold.
What does it mean to be a Trap Breaker?
The Demon Bishop was greatly startled.
What? Does that mean all of my Bottomless Pit, Blast Armor are dead?
No way... you're playing a trap card deck that questions life's existence with three initial traps, why would you carry such a card?
Aren't you afraid it will kill your traps too?
The Demon Bishop increasingly found the opponent unreasonable, and more and more realized what the Count of the Undead said was not wrong, this duelist definitely had issues.
"Then I cover one card to the backfield."
Another Covering Card appeared in front of Yugen, and then he played another card from his hand.
"Then activate Magic Card 'Burial Spell Treasure Scroll'. Banish from the game three Magic Cards from the graveyard: 'Handwriting Destruction,' 'Angel's Charity,' and the other Magic Card 'Stupid Burial' just discarded, to draw two cards." (Original Card)
The Treasure Scroll's Magic Card floated in front of him, but before the effect resolved, he revealed another card in his hand.
"Speed Attack Magic 'Continuous Magic'! This card can only be activated in a chain to one's Normal Magic activation, by discarding all hand cards, this card's effect is the same as that Normal Magic's effect."
Yugen sent the remaining hand cards to the grave, smiling gently.
"Since only the effect is copied, I don't need to repay the cost of 'banishing three Magic Cards from the graveyard', thus I can draw two cards again.
Thus, I draw a total of four cards."
Yugen drew four cards in one go.
"Then Normal Summon 'Jetman'. "
[Jetman, Attack Power 1200]
"Battle, Artificial Human - Telekinesis Intimidator, direct attack!" Yugen ordered.
Soga was elated. This being the first opportunity to attack in the master's hand, he was determined to conjure up the grandest gesture to not disgrace his team reputation.
Electric light tumbled in his hand, transforming into a spherical Telekinesis Shock Wave, which he launched directly towards the Demon Bishop's face as he extended his palms.
The Demon Bishop gritted his teeth: "Then activate Speed Attack Magic - Emergency Food! Send the Continuous Magic 'Nightmare Mirage Tower' and the other two Cover Cards in the backfield to the graveyard.
Each card can recover 1000 Life Points!"
Three cards dissipated in succession, turning into golden particles melding into his body, he took a massive swig of blood.
Boom!
[Demon Bishop, LP 2150→ LP 5150→ LP 2750]
The Demon Bishop was blasted and rolled twice on the ground, emitting black smoke all over, displaying a miserable state.
"Then, 'Jetman' continues to attack," Yugen said.
The anthropomorphic jet took off as well, a string of missiles slashing through the air bombarding at an angle. Amidst a series of blast sounds, the Demon Bishop was once again blown backward, leaving him charred on the ground.
[Demon Bishop, LP 2750→LP 1550]
Screams so loud, it made the demons in the surrounding cells shiver in fear.
It really looks painful...
Yet he still tremblingly stood up again, though looking at Yugen with more fear in his eyes.
Now he vaguely realized, it seemed like he inadvertently provoked a terrifying presence...
But there's still a chance.
The Demon Bishop calmed his emotions.
At least he endured this turn. Even though sacrificing two powerful traps hurt, with the Artificial Human present, both parties cannot use traps under equal conditions.
If the opponent equally can't use traps, he can bounce back next turn...
"Activate Equipment Magic 'Computer Amplifier,' equip it to the 'Artificial Human - Telekinesis Intimidator' on the field."
Yugen inserted a card into the Duel Disc, a device similar to a helmet floated in front of Soga. He obediently reached out to grab it, placing it on his head.
"Computer Amplifier is a special equipment for 'Artificial Human - Telekinesis Intimidator'. After Soga equips it, his effect is enhanced from 'neither party can activate traps' to 'only the opponent cannot activate traps'.
And as the holder of Soga, my side will not be affected by Soga's trap lock effect as long as this equipment is present on the field."
Demon Bishop: "..."
Huh?
What did you say?
