Chapter 118 The Battle of the Weak
"My turn, draw a card." The witch calmly drew a card from the deck and put it into the duel disk, "I'll cover a magic card first."
Kaiba said: "Do you really know how to duel? Why do you have to reveal the type of covering card? This will make it very convenient for the opponent! Or, are you looking at me?" When Kaiba said this, he was already a little angry. He was seriously dueling with his opponent, but the opponent didn't seem to care much, which made him feel a little despised.
"You will use it soon, so don't worry about it. If this hurts your self-esteem, I'm very sorry." The witch smiled. Although her expression was gentle, she was very serious. This expression made Kaiba feel like he had punched a sponge. "Then, I activate the magic card, 'Holy Grail A'."
[Holy Grail A: Normal magic, effect: The card rotates when activated. When it is upright, you draw two cards from the deck; when it is reversed, the opponent draws two cards from the deck. 】
Below the witch's head, a magic card began to spin slowly, and finally, it stopped in the reverse position.
"What a pity, it's not in the upright position. Then I can draw two cards from the deck." After Kaiba drew two cards from the deck, he said to the witch: "Your luck doesn't seem to be very good today, but fortunately, you still have 'Benri' on the field, which can avoid the risk of this card. "
[Seto Kaiba: Hand 5→7, Deck: →0]
The witch smiled and drew two cards from the deck.
[Witch: Hand 1→, Deck: →1]
"Now, I'll activate the second 'Holy Grail A'." Behind the witch's head, the Holy Grail magic card started spinning again, and the result this time was still reversed!
"Send a card?" Kaiba was a little surprised that the opponent missed the Holy Grail A twice, but Kaiba still drew these two cards without hesitation, "It seems that your luck is very bad today."
[Seto Kaiba: Hand 7→9, Deck: 0→8]
"You will know whether I am lucky or not soon." The witch still activated "Benri" calmly and drew two cards from the deck.
['↓'↓'↓'↓,
"Then I use the quick attack magic, 'Very Food', to send the 'Benri' on the field to the graveyard and restore 1000lp." The witch's fingers did not stop operating, and she sent the trap card on her field to avoid the risk of "Holy Grail A" to the graveyard without hesitation.
[Miko: LP: 4000→5000, Hand: 5→4]
[Is there any purpose for restoring LP at this time?] Kaiba looked at his large hand of cards, ["Fusion", "Giant", two "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" and many powerful dragon monsters... With such a strong hand, as long as it is my turn, she has no chance of winning, but she... is it really just bad luck?]
Kaiba suddenly couldn't figure it out, but now he had nothing to do, so he had to watch the Miko operate alone.
"Now, I cover two cards and activate the magic card that was just covered." The witch lightly tapped the button on the duel disk and activated the magic card: "I activate 'Handbook Erase'."
"I see!" Kaiba sent all the cards in his hand to the graveyard unwillingly, and seemed to have discovered the witch's tactics, "You let me draw a lot of cards first, and then use 'Handbook Erase' to deal with the powerful monsters in my hand! But this is useless, my 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' will be so strong that you can't imagine even in the graveyard!"
Kaiba looked at the "Dragon Mirror", "Swing of Memories" and "Orthodox Bloodline" he had just drawn, and didn't feel panicked.
[Seto Kaiba: Hand 9, Deck: 8→19]
[Miko: Hand 4→, Deck: 9→7]
"You guessed half right." Miko narrowed her eyes and smiled at Kaiba: "Mr. Kaiba, I am very fragile, so I never like to fight directly. So, I built this deck suitable for weaklings like me."
"'Weakling'?" Kaiba looked at Miko with some surprise and laughed: "Weakling, why should we fight? And I find it very funny that you call yourself a 'weakling'."
"..." Miko was stunned for a moment Speechless, but still smiling at Kaiba, "Mr. Kaiba, what do you think the battle of the weak should be like? Are the cards suitable for the weak the same as those for the strong?"
"What else can we do? The weak must use everything they have to find a way to become stronger. If they don't become strong, they can't fight the strong! Because, weakness itself is a kind of original sin." Kaiba said firmly, "Except becoming strong, the weak have no other way to fight."
"But what if they are asked to fight the strong before they become strong?" The witch continued to ask.
"Become strong, or die." Kaiba said firmly.
"But these are just weaklings with the potential to become stronger, in other words, the 'protagonists' in the storybook." The witch shook her head and said to Kaiba: "The battle of the real weak is to step on the corpses of their companions, use their own injuries to exchange for the temporary fatigue of the strong, use their own heads to resist the fists of the strong, and then bite off a piece of the opponent's flesh. This battle cannot hurt the strong fundamentally. Just like my deck. I can tell you clearly, Mr. Kaiba, my entire deck does not have a card that can cause your LP to suffer the slightest damage."
"... Then how do you want to win?" Kaiba looked at the other party's expression. If what she said was true, then what threat does this deck... have?
"Use my own way, use the card that suits me best..." The witch opened the monster that covered the field in the first round, "Turn over the covered monster, 'Transformation Pot'!"
[Transformation Pot: Effect Monster, 2-star, Rock-type, Earth Attribute, Attack Power: 700, Defense Power: 600, Effect: Reverse: All cards in both hands are discarded. After that, both sides draw 5 cards from their decks. 】
A funny-looking pot appears on the field of both sides of the duel. Once it is turned over, its effect is activated. Kaiba has to give up all his cards and draw five cards from the deck.
[Seto Kaiba: 9 cards in hand → 5 cards, deck: 19 → 14]
[Miko: Hand → 5 cards, deck: 7 →]
"You... want to cut my deck clean?!" Kaiba said in surprise. Looking at the deck that has obviously become thinner, he finally realized what his opponent is going to do now, but he has no way to solve the continued deterioration of this situation! "No wonder you have to deal with 'Benri' first, otherwise your deck will be drawn first..."
If the duelist cannot draw a card because there is no card in the deck when he is about to draw a card, he will automatically lose!
"It's not over yet." The witch continued: "I use the 'Book of the Moon' in my hand to change the 'Transformation Pot' on the field to covered again. Then, I banish the 'AD Changer' in the graveyard, turn the Transformation Pot over again, and switch it to attack position."
[AD Changer: Effect Monster, 1-star, Warrior-type, Light attribute, Attack Power: 100, Defense Power: 100, Effect: Banish this card in the graveyard from the game, and select 1 monster on the field to activate. The selected monster's position changes. ]
[Seto Kaiba: 5 cards in hand, deck: 14→9]
[Miko: 5 cards in hand, deck: →17]
"Then, the second one, the Book of Total Eclipse." The witch used another card in her hand again, which was the magic card used in the previous round, and covered the "Transformation Pot" on her field and the three monsters on Kaiba's field again.
"Then, it's the second 'AD Changer' in the graveyard." The "Transformation Pot" on the Miko's field began to spin again, and Kaiba and Miko's decks were reduced again!
[Seto Kaiba: 5 cards in hand, deck: 9→4]
[Miko: 5 cards in hand, deck: 17→1]
"Cover up a card, and the turn ends." Miko finally ended her turn, but Kaiba had to draw three cards from the deck in this turn.
[Seto Kaiba: 5 cards in hand→8 cards, deck: 4→1]
"Although I only have two cards left in my deck, I have eight cards in hand. After the next round of card drawing, the cards in my hand will reach 9. Your tactics are still one short." Kaiba said to Miko. Although this tactic made him sweat, it didn't end him.
"Is that so? I still have a card on my field that you have been ignoring, the 'Gravekeeper'." The miko narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Your deck is not in a good condition to support your attack."
Kaiba looked at the familiar that seemed to have been a supporting role for a lifetime. Will this inconspicuous monster really be the last straw that breaks the camel's back?
"Whether we win or lose... Last round, draw a card!" At this time, Kaiba finally regarded the miko as a real opponent. With the mentality of fighting Yugi and Bekas, he drew the last card in his deck!
[Seto Kaiba: Deck: 1→0]
