$271 Shadow Guardian

"Liang, I know for sure that your 'Electronic Terminator Dragon' will be summoned by the 'Future Fusion' effect activated in the second round during the preparation phase of this round. If it weren't for the counter-card in your hand, Master You wouldn't choose to show these two electronic dark monsters in attack mode, right?"

While speaking, the cover card in the direction of Uncle Samejima's left foot was flipped over and activated. It was the cover card he cast before the end of his last turn, and he could perform the cover card now that Caesar's counterattack trap "Paradox Fusion" was activated. If activated, it must be the same 3-speed counterattack trap.

"Counter Trap 'Counter Check'! The trap card activated by the opponent is invalid, and the trap card is bounced back to the opponent's deck."

Under reverse chain processing, Caesar's "Paradox Fusion" was invalidated by Master Samejima's "Reverse Check" and bounced back to the deck, which also means that the cost paid for the successful activation of the card - that is, the fusion monster " "Electronic Eternal Dragon" will not return to the battlefield at the end of the second excluded turn according to the effect description on the Paradox Fusion card.

After the effects of the two counterattack traps were processed, the first permanent trap monster, "Electronic Shadow Guardian", also formed a slender mechanical leg standing upright on the field, with a blade-like horned monster adorning the back of its body.

(Electronic Shadow Guardian, race: Mechanical, attribute: Earth, star rating: 4 stars, attack power:?, defense power:?)

‘A trap monster with no specific value? ’

Generally, trap monsters have specific combat power after being transformed into monsters that can be used in the monster zone. There are effect-type trap monsters that have 0 attack and 0 defense completely relying on their effects. There are also effect-type trap monsters that have average or even no effect. However, the combat data of trap monsters are comparable to those of ordinary monsters, and this is the first time that the "Electronic Shadow Guardian" in front of me has both values ​​"?" in the category of trap monsters.

‘? It has a double value, and it is in attack mode. If compared to ordinary monsters, it is a special type that relies on its own unique effects to fight. ’

In other words, as long as he, Caesar, does not change the attack target of the Electronic Terminator Dragon and attacks the Electronic Shadow Guardian, a completely unknown monster, he can avoid triggering the same unknown strange effect.

It's a pity that the idea is good, but the reality is cruel!

Uncle Samejima, who saw his beloved disciple's thoughts, immediately raised the corner of his mouth, smiled and waved his hand to activate his final Gaika:

"Trap card 'Strong Enemy Blocking the Road'! This round, reveal the Electronic Terminator Dragon on your field that can fight, and it must attack my trap monster!"

Want to avoid attacking the Shadow Guardian to avoid triggering its unknown effects? Sorry, Master just wants you to attack it and let you experience its magical power!

As the powerful enemy blocking the road took effect, all three heads of the Electronic Terminator Dragon shifted slightly, aiming at the trap monster Electronic Shadow Guardian. Just when the energy in the Electronic Terminator Dragon's mouth was about to condense to its peak, Uncle Samejima spoke again, explaining the effect of his trap monster with a double value of "?":

"The trap monster 'Electronic Shadow Guardian' can only be specially summoned during the main phase of the opponent's turn, and it is used as a monster card. Once it becomes the target of the opponent's monster's attack, then its two '?' values, It will also have the same combat power as the opponent monster that attacked it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a thick black fog spewing out from the Shadow Guardian, shrouding his whole body in it. Under Caesar's curious eyes, a black and gray electronic Terminator Dragon appeared in the thick fog, and it Its combat power has also become exactly the same as that of the real Electronic Terminator Dragon.

(Electronic Shadow Guardian → Electronic Terminator Dragon, attack power: ? → 4000, defense power: ? → 2800)

The same combat power means that if Caesar has no magic trap that can change the combat power of the real Electronic Terminator Dragon before the damage is calculated, then its attack cannot be stopped and it will be the same combat power as the one transformed from the Shadow Guardian. The imitation version of the Electronic Terminator Dragon dies together!

Of course, in addition to changing the attack power values ​​​​of monsters, changing the representation of monsters between battles is also a useful method. However, in this method, unless you have the ability to penetrate defense, it will not It destroys monsters like increasing or decreasing its attack power and also inflicts battle damage.

"Quick attack magic 'Enemy Manipulator'! Change the representation of the attacked monster Shadow Guardian!"

The "enemy manipulator", which has the ntr ability and the ability to change the monster's combat status in real time, can be said to be a commonly used method in quick-attack magic.

With the input of the control command "↑←↓→c", the black and gray data cable is inserted into the body of the Shadow Guardian, using powerful force to drive it from attack to defense. In the defensive state, its combat power is only the Electronic Terminator Dragon of 2800 points.

As the Electronic Terminator Dragon's attack fell, the battle that consumed a lot of resources from both sides finally came to an end.

After covering up the cards in his hand during the card drawing phase in this round, Caesar ended the round.

It was Master Samejima's turn for a new turn. He activated the card directly. It was the second Pot of Desire in his deck. After drawing two more cards, he covered them all. In the backcourt, the Dark Wing Blade caused another 900 points of direct damage to Caesar at the cost of halving its attack power.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Pulling out the card, Caesar looked at the two Cyber ​​Dark Monsters on the Master's field, both of which continued to stand in attack mode, and couldn't help but think about it.

'Master's two backfield cover cards and the Cyber ​​Dark Monster in the frontfield, what tactics will there be between them? '

Cyber ​​End Dragon, while being equal in strength to the Earth Destroyer, also has a defense penetration ability that is extremely unfriendly to weak monsters.

Although Cyber ​​Dark Monsters can pull out Dragon monsters from the graveyard as equipment cards when they are successfully summoned to increase their combat power, the improvement is limited to attack power. The defense of the two Cyber ​​Dark Monsters still maintains the original 800 points, so it is understandable that the Master did not switch the two monsters to defense.

However, it does not mean that you can rest easy in the attack state. The 1800-point Dark Wing Blade meets the 4000-point Cyber ​​End Dragon. If one of them is gone, it will be 2200 damage, the same as the remaining life value of the Master, and the battle can still be ended without defense penetration.

Therefore, all possibilities depend on the two magic traps that Master used with the second card, at least one of which can definitely protect his 2200 health points in the battle.

In this case, should I attack? After all, as long as the Dark Wing Blade is dealt, 2200 damage will be dealt, and everything will be over.
