$329 "Anti-Armor" In Yu-Gi-Oh!

The smoke of the battle cleared, revealing the true situation, but this true situation was not what Tamura wished for in his heart-

The attacked Shield Guardian did not switch from defense to attack at the end of the damage step according to its own effect;

The expected 4400 points of counter-damage did not clear the life value of the junior Jianshan, and he and his monster projection were still standing on the opposite side.

"200 points of counter-damage... It's the card of the Taboo series of fast-attack magic-'Forbidden Holy Scripture'."

As expected of a senior, seeing the changes in the life value of the junior Jianshan shown in the projection, plus the fact that the Shield Guardian still maintained a defensive posture, and the fact that the junior Jianshan's hand card that was originally left disappeared at this moment, a search in the memory of the mind made it clear what the junior Jianshan did a second before the attack of the Dark Triceratops completely hit the Shield Guardian.

"As expected of you, Senior! At the moment of damage calculation, I activated the fast-play magic "Forbidden Scripture" in my hand, which was brought by the effect of the Pot of Greed this round, in addition to the Stegosaurus."

After the senior activated "Unity-UNITY" and calculated the new defense of the Shield Guardian, before the attack of the Dark Triceratops completely came, Jianshan quietly activated the fast-play magic "Forbidden Scripture" in his hand.

The fast-play magic of the "Forbidden" series all involves the change of the monster's combat power value, so they can be activated at the time of battle damage calculation.

The effect of the scripture is that after it is successfully activated, it can make all the card effects on the field except for itself invalid! And the monsters in battle will also be calculated with their original attack and defense values! This time lasts until the damage step of the two monsters on both sides of the battle ends.

Therefore, the effect of the Shield Guardian that switches from defense to offense at the end of the attack's damage step is not activated, and it still maintains a crouching defensive posture.

"Although you survived the effect of 'Unity' with the power of the Holy Scripture, it also helped my Shield Guardian not to be turned into attack mode during the attack of the Dark Triceratops. The Stegoceratops, which only has 1900 attack points, can't be broken by either the Shield Guardian or the Aztec Statue."

The Aztec Statue, which has the lowest defense, also has 2000 points, and the Stegoceratops is 101 points behind it. Unless Jianshan's remaining two face-up cards can amplify the attack of the Stegoceratops, he will not be able to destroy a single monster this turn.

Just as Tamura was thinking about whether his words could make Jianshan reveal the remaining two face-up cards in advance, Jianshan launched a new round of attacks, allowing the Stegoceratops, which still had an attack opportunity, to charge forward, and the target of this collision was——

The Shield Guardian with 2600 defense points that had just been attacked!

"The difference between 1900 and 2600 is 701 points. If we take into account the effect of the equipment trap 'Shield with Chains', it is a full 1301 points! Could it be that one of the junior brother's cards is 'Strength Up'? But that's not right..."

The minimum increase of a single backfield card that can make the strength of the Stegoceras surpass the defense of the Shield Guardian is 1400 points, and there is no quick attack magic that meets this minimum requirement. There is a card in the trap that meets this requirement, and even exceeds 100 points -

Strength Up!

It can increase the attack power of a monster by 1500 points until the end of the turn! The premise is that you can discard one of your hand cards, otherwise this card cannot be activated.

The only card in the junior brother Jianshan's hand, "Forbidden Holy Scripture", has been used before. Without a hand card, he can't meet the activation requirements of "Strength Up", so where does he get the confidence to attack? The target is still the Shield Guardian who just fought.

"It is also possible that both of the two covered cards can increase the attack power or reduce the defense power."

The previous speculation is that only one covered card involves the change of the monster's combat power value, but what if both covered cards are?

When the two covered cards are the same, the quick attack magic "rush" can increase the monster's attack power by 700 points with a single card, and 1400 with two cards, which just meets the minimum requirement of breaking the giant shield guardian.

In the category of trap cards, the same single card can increase the attack power of a monster by 700, and two cards can increase the attack power of a monster by 1400, which is the "encouragement" of the usual trap.

As for the situation of different cards, there are many combinations.

Increasing attack power is one method, and reducing defense power is also a countermeasure. Unfortunately, this method can meet the requirement of reducing 1400 cards, whether it is quick attack magic or trap, and even if two cards are used together, they cannot meet this requirement.

What is the confidence of Jianshan's attack?

In Tamura's deep curiosity, watching the attack of the Stegoceradon about to hit the Shield Guardian, and then being counter-damaged by 2600 points in the combination of "DNA Transformation Surgery" and "Fault Zone", Jianshan finally waved his hand to activate the second of the three cards he had covered in the first round:

"Trap Card 'Half Damage Unbreakable'! Until the end of the round, the effect target 'Stegoceradon' will not be destroyed by battle, and the battle damage it causes to me will be halved."

It is not a card that increases the attack value of battle monsters, but a card that reduces battle damage.

Without the double damage counter effect, the 1900 Stegocera and the 3200 Giant Shield Guardian (including the effect of the chained spike shield) can produce 1300 damage counter between them. At this moment, as the effect of "half damage is not broken" begins to take effect, this damage counter value will be reduced to half and fall on Jianshan, but because of the influence of the ground magic of "fault zone", this half reduction effect is offset, but it is not as exaggerated as at the beginning to empty the remaining health of Jianshan.

(Jianshan: 2400LP→2200LP→900LP)

"Reduce combat damage... I forgot this method."

Time is short, Tamura only thought of two ways to increase attack power and reduce defense power, and forgot that there is also a method of reducing combat damage to deal with defensive counterattack tactics.

With the normal counter-damage of 1300, the Shield Guardian that was attacked this time once again turned to attack mode under the influence of its own effect. However, now that the two monsters on Jianshan's field have already attacked, if you want to make the battle of the Sword Ceratops not in vain, you have to special summon another monster.

"Activate the trap card 'Survival Realm'! Destroy the Sword Ceratops of the normal monster type, and special summon the three-star effect monster 'Dark Pterosaur' from our deck instead."

The powerful Axe King-level Sword Ceratops is gone, replaced by a flying pterosaur monster with a weaker power and an overall image of black skin.

(Dark Pterosaur, 3 stars, attack power: 1000, defense power: 500)

"Dark Pterosaur, attack the Shield Guardian!"

The attack power is lower than that of the Sword Ceratops, but it is more than enough to deal with the Shield Guardian with the chained spike shield.
