Chapter 5: First Victory, Mysterious Card!
"Draw." The Abing summoned his second monster: "Come forth, Kojikocy!"
Ding~
A second monster appeared.
[Kojikocy, 1500 ATK, Warrior]
"Entering the Battle Phase." The Abing's expression was fierce.
The Hunter of Monsters, armed with its weapon, attacked Yu Miao's face-down monster.
It was flipped over, revealing the cute Petit Angel...
[Petit Angel, 100 DEF, Fairy]
Boom~
"Hahaha, such a weak monster, are you kidding me?"
"Take this hit, Yugi Muto!"
The Axe Raider, wielding its dual weapons, struck directly at Yu Miao.
"Urgh..." Yu Miao staggered back a few steps.
The KC projection technology's realism was incredibly high, even simulating a certain degree of pain sensation.
These days, if you aren't in good physical shape, you can't even duel properly.
[Yu Miao: 4000 LP → 1800 LP]
"My turn, draw." Yu Miao drew a card from his deck, seemingly having figured out a technique instinctively.
Sneakily ending the opponent's turn!
The Abing didn't express any dissatisfaction because he had intended to end his turn anyway. With a flying dragon riding on his face, how could he lose?
Although Yu Miao was at a disadvantage, there was no panic on his face.
His deck's strength didn't allow for recklessness, but an opportunity wasn't impossible.
"Setting another monster card."
"Setting one backrow, I end my turn."
Yu Miao focused solely on defense for now, with no immediate plans to attack.
"Yugi Muto, so it was just luck that you managed to defeat the Father of Duel Monsters." The Abing drew a card from his deck. Upon seeing it, he burst into arrogant laughter: "Don't think that just because you set two cards, you can scare me."
Ding~
A Quick-Play Spell Card lit up.
It was the Spell Card, Mystical Space Typhoon!!
[Mystical Space Typhoon: Target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field; destroy that target.]
Seeing this "Mystical Space Typhoon" Spell Card evoked some memories from Yousei's past.
Back then, most of his childhood friends in the park didn't understand the principle that destruction doesn't equal negation.
At that time, they believed Mystical Space Typhoon could destroy the opponent's Spell and Trap Cards, and also negate their effects.
Under the distortion of these "village rules," Mystical Space Typhoon was extremely popular in their small town.
Its price once soared to several dollars per card.
Back then, Yu Miao managed to get 3 copies of Mystical Space Typhoon for free by helping others with homework, becoming the little dueling overlord of the park!
This was the powerful confidence that Mystical Space Typhoon (incorrect usage) brought to Yu Miao.
"Damn it, how dare you space out?"
The Abing was furious seeing Yu Miao's distracted, faraway look. He pointed at one of Yu Miao's two set cards to destroy it!
The Trap Card Yu Miao initially set hadn't been activated, so the Abing judged it to be a bluff.
--Hahaha, Yugi Muto must have set Polymerization on his field, trying to trick me,
Therefore, Abing decided to destroy the most recently set card.
Whoosh~
A tornado approached.
Boom!
The set card on Yu Miao's backrow was destroyed.
It was a... Statue of the Wicked!
[Statue of the Wicked: If this Set card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon 1 "Wicked Token" (DARK) on your side of the field.]
Thud~
A Token monster appeared.
[Wicked Token, 1000 DEF, Fiend]
"What!?" Abing's expression turned ugly. The opponent actually used his Mystical Space Typhoon to summon a monster on their own field for defense.
--Damn, as expected of Yugi Muto. It seems I was too careless.
"Heh, although that move was clever, the advantage is still mine." Abing drew the third monster from his hand, shouting: "Sorry, but now I'm summoning my third monster. How will you deal with this, sir?"
Ding~
A third monster appeared on Abing's field.
[Kojikocy, 1500 ATK, Warrior]
"You only have two defense position monsters on your field. This duel is mine, Yugi Muto!"
I, Abing, am the future king of games!
Abing, lost in joy and fantasy, entered the Battle Phase.
However.
Yu Miao couldn't help but laugh: "Sore wa dou kana?" (Is that so?)
Hearing this, the Abing's expression turned to shock, and his unease began to grow.
"I used your Mystical Space Typhoon to Special Summon a Token, so you had to summon a third monster."
"Only by maintaining three monsters could you deliver a finishing blow."
"Only when you have 3 monsters can a certain effect be maximized."
Yu Miao began his move, activating his set Trap Card, Wall of Disruption!!
Ding~
The red Trap Card lit up, game over.
"Through this Trap Card's power, when you declare an attack, the ATK of all monsters you control is permanently reduced by 800 times the number of monsters on your field."
"At this time, you have three monsters."
"Therefore, all lose 2400 ATK!"
Yu Miao explained with full force, as a wave of red Trap power surged towards the opponent.
[Axe Raider: 2200 → 0 ATK]
[Kojikocy: 1500 → 0 ATK] *2
"No, impossible, how can this be." Abing panicked. That set card actually wasn't a bluff!
How despicable of Yugi Muto!
Not activating this Trap earlier, waiting until he had gathered 3 monsters on the field to use it!
Now, the 0 ATK Axe Raider struck the 1000 DEF Wicked Token.
The 1000 points of battle damage from the recoil had to be borne by the young soldier.
"Urgh ahhhh."
[Abing: 4000 LP → 3000 LP]
At this point, Abing looked at the cards in his hand and realized with horror that there was no way to reverse the situation.
Don't panic, he still had 3000 Life Points, and the opponent's Token only had 1000 ATK. That face-down monster probably wasn't much higher either.
"Heh, my turn, draw." Yu Miao drew a card, using the anime's signature technique,
Forcibly ending the opponent's turn.
Yu Miao glanced lightly and drew the card from the far right, saying: "Sorry, but I'm summoning this powerful monster."
Ding~
It was the "Spellcaster" type Monster Gemini Elf.
They shared a common trait: beautiful appearance, graceful figures, and enchanting charm!
[Gemini Elf, 1900 ATK, Spellcaster]
Right now, Gemini Elf was invincible!
"Flip the face-down monster, Petit Angel!"
Ding~
[Petit Angel, 300 ATK, Fairy]
The Wicked Token was switched to Attack Position.
"300 + 1000 + 1900, that's a total of 3200 battle damage. You lose." Yu Miao showed a sunny smile as he entered the Battle Phase.
Three seconds later!
[Abing: 3000 LP → 0 LP]
Thud... Bang, Abing fell to the ground.
"Waaaah, I, Abing, actually lost?" Abing wailed loudly.
Yu Miao felt excellent, because he had achieved his first victory in this Yu-Gi-Oh! world!
