Chapter 7: The Failed Summon of the Dark Magician Girl
"Hmph, so you have a 4-star monster with 1700 ATK. It seems you're not entirely useless."
"What a pity, the one you've encountered is a Rare Hunter."
"Draw!"
Qiang drew a card from his deck.
A golden-orange bolt of lightning suddenly struck the Monster Zone.
BOOM~
Thunder roared.
The intense flash of light made Yu Miao instinctively close his eyes.
When he opened them again, his field zone was scorched black.
As for Axe Raider?
Utterly destroyed, leaving only a broken axe on the field as the sole evidence that Axe Raider ever existed.
Yes, Qiang activated the Spell Card, Raigeki!!
[Raigeki: Destroy all monsters your opponent controls.]
In the physical card game environment, Raigeki is a Limited Card.
Although many mainstream decks don't run it, judging by its individual power, this card's "power" is not low.
First, it's non-targeting mass destruction, affecting Attack Position, Defense Position, and face-down monsters.
As everyone knows, targeting vs. non-targeting is an indispensable aspect of Yu-Gi-Oh!.
Non-targeting is superior.
During the DM era, Raigeki could potentially destroy up to 5 cards for 1.
Even if Seto Kaiba himself came and summoned 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons, they would still all be wiped out by a single Raigeki.
The question is, did he just use Raigeki to destroy a single Axe Raider?
Is... is that reasonable?
Unless he can OTK me this very turn!
"Hahaha, consider yourself lucky to die by my Raigeki."
"Let me show you what a real duel is."
"Normal Summon, Mataza the Zapper!"
Light flickered~
A samurai wielding a sharp blade appeared, his face full of malice – a real sneaky fighter.
[Mataza the Zapper, 1300 ATK, Warrior]
"Not done yet, activate the Spell Card, Lightning Blade!"
[Lightning Blade: For Warrior-Type monsters. The equipped monster gains 800 ATK. All WATER Attribute monsters on the field lose 500 ATK.]
Bzzt bzzt~
The sharp katana emitted lightning, its Attack Power soaring.
[Mataza the Zapper: 1300 → 2100 ATK]
"This monster can attack twice in one turn. Wasting a Raigeki on Axe Raider... this guy really plans to OTK me!" Yu Miao's expression turned grave. He hadn't Set any backrow.
His opponent had noticed this too, hence the recklessness.
"It's over, you ridiculous brat. Rare Hunter... forever!" Qiang entered the Battle Phase.
The lightning-emitting Mataza slashed at Yu Miao.
"Urgh, aahh!" Yu Miao endured the impact from the projection system.
[Yu Miao: 4000 LP → 1900 LP]
Mataza leaped into the air, launching a second attack, swinging the lightning-wrapped blade, slashing!!
BOOM!
Terrifying arcs of electricity instantly enveloped Yu Miao, kicking up clouds of dust.
"Ahahahaha, stupid trash, this is the fate of those who mock and oppose Rare Hunters." Qiang was extremely satisfied with this outcome.
However!
When the smoke cleared...
Qiang's pupils instinctively dilated, his lips trembled, and he took a step back, saying, "Impossible, how are you not defeated yet?"
[Yu Miao: 1900 LP]
His Life Points had not dropped to 0!
"Whew, that was really close. Luckily, I activated this card." Yu Miao revealed a card from his hand – the Kuriboh from his initial deck!
Kuriboh, originally "Kuriboh"!
Yugi Muto's favorite hand trap, bar none.
In moments of crisis, it always saves you.
A life without Kuriboh is an incomplete life.
With it, you are a true protagonist.
"Damn it, such a trash monster." Superhuman Qiang's face turned liver-colored again with rage, he shouted: "Despicable, shameless!"
"Hand traps are a necessary part of Yu-Gi-Oh!." Yu Miao explained dismissively.
Then, Yu Miao forcefully ended his opponent's turn.
"I drew it." Yu Miao activated a Spell Card: "Activate Spell Card, Mystical Space Typhoon."
——Abian, thank you!
Whoosh~
The Lightning Blade Spell Card was destroyed, Mataza's ATK returned to 1300.
"I Normal Summon, Gemini Elf."
The two alluring sisters entered the field, standing on Yu Miao's left and right.
[Gemini Elf, 1900 ATK, Spellcaster]
Qiang gritted his teeth in frustration.
"Entering the Battle Phase." Yu Miao issued the command.
The Gemini Elf attacked from left and right, their long legs delivering a fierce kick to Mataza's waist!
A critical kidney strike.
Mataza's eyes rolled back, instantly shattered into pieces.
"Arghhh!" Qiang was blown back by the battle impact, his Life Points decreasing.
[Qiang: 4000 LP → 3400 LP]
"Damn it, how can a Rare Card Hunter lose to a basketball kid?"
Qiang stood up, drew a card from his deck, and entered his Main Phase.
Looking at the Spell Card he had drawn, Qiang's face immediately lit up with joy!
He was still the winner of this duel.
"Activate Monster Reborn!" Superhuman Qiang raised high this glowing Spell Card.
[Monster Reborn: Target 1 monster in either GY; Special Summon it.]
This is the versatile Spell Card of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime!
Ding~
[Mataza the Zapper, 1300 ATK, Warrior]
Qiang revived the monster from his GY, then drew a Monster Card from his hand, looking at Yu Miao gloomily, saying, "Let me show you the inventory of us Rare Hunters."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Miao couldn't help but frown.
Ghouls are a professional counterfeiting group!
"I offer Mataza as Tribute to Summon this ace monster among Spellcasters!"
"Come forth, Dark Magician Girl."
Qiang raised the Dark Magician Girl in his hand.
It's said there's only one Dark Magician Girl in the entire world, and it's only in Yugi Muto's possession.
So this Dark Magician Girl must be a counterfeit created by Rare Hunters using their "advanced" technology!
They even dared to counterfeit the 5-piece Exodia, so a Dark Magician Girl is nothing.
Whoosh~
A current of air swirled around Mataza's feet, the prelude to being "sacrificed".
However!
The next moment, Qiang was completely dumbfounded.
This Dark Magician Girl card, placed on the Duel Disk, could not project a hologram.
"Bwahahaha!" Yu Miao couldn't help but burst out laughing. Sorry, he just couldn't hold it in!
Yu Miao had undergone professional dueling training; he normally wouldn't laugh unless it was just too funny.
In his past life duels, Yu Miao had seen misplays, seen players forget their restrictions and end their turn...
But the scene before him was just too hilarious!
"Damn it, it's f*cking unusable." Qiang was so angry his hands shook.
Rare Hunter' counterfeiting technology isn't omnipotent; among the fake cards, there are good and bad quality ones.
Even the good quality fakes have a certain probability of failing to work in a normal duel.
Let alone the bad quality fakes...
Simply put, it depends on luck!
Another point is that fake cards are more prone to wear and tear and destruction during duels.
This supernatural phenomenon is difficult to explain!
"Useless!" Qiang angrily threw the card in his hand to the ground, even stomping on it a few times.
Seeing this scene, Yu Miao frowned deeply, angrily rebuking the other's behavior:
"Enough! Even fake cards shouldn't be trampled like that."
"No wonder even the fake card rejects you, when you show so little respect for cards!"
