Chapter 13: Sublime Power
"It's my turn, draw a card!"
Asano Yuna drew a card, looked up at You Yong, and then played a card as if nothing had happened:
"Activate the magic card, Pot of Greed, and draw two cards from the deck."
What!? You actually used Ban... Uh, no, I think I have it too, three copies, and I seem to have used Heaven's Gift last round...
Hiss... Sorry to bother you.
Asano Yuna didn't know what You Yong was thinking, and she immediately summoned a new monster after drawing two cards:
"Attack Position Summon, Emerald Dragon!"
A giant western dragon with sapphire-like skin and a brilliant glow all over its body was projected on the duel field. The dragon roared to the sky, as if announcing its arrival to the enemy.
[Emerald Dragon, Attack Power: 2400]
As expected of a rich man, a monster with an attack power of 2400 is summoned as soon as it is said, without blinking an eye. So far, You Yong has not seen a monster with such a high attack power on any passerby.
Then Asano Yuna raised her hand and shouted:
"Activate the effect of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit's spell can transfer its attack power to other monsters on the field."
"I will transfer the attack power of the Holy Spirit to the Emerald Dragon, and the attack power of the Emerald Dragon will be increased!"
What?! ? Really? The Holy Spirit still has an effect? I remember this is a blank board, right?
But then You Yong saw that the Holy Spirit on the field began to emit a white holy light as it chanted a spell, and then the Emerald Dragon next to it also emitted a light.
[Holy Spirit, Attack Power: 800→0]
[Emerald Dragon, Attack Power: 2400→3200]
"What? The attack power actually exceeds the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon with immeasurable destructive power!!"
"What a powerful tactic..."
The people around began to exclaim as usual.
Seeing this, You Yong has recalled the relevant plot in the animation, and it seems to be true.
At that time, when Dark Yugi was fighting the fake Kaiba president sent by Uncle Bei in Duel Kingdom, it seemed that he used the effect of the Holy Spirit to increase the attack power of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon that came over, and then killed the Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the opposite side, and won the duel.
In addition, You Yong also remembered another classic plot about the Holy Spirit.
It was during the semi-finals between Dark Yugi and Peacock Dance in Duel Kingdom, when Peacock Dance used the animated magic card version of "Shadow of Temptation" to try to turn the Holy Spirit into attack mode.
As a result, Dark Yugi said that because his Holy Spirit was a female monster, it would not be tempted by the harpy girl, who was also a female monster, and therefore would not turn into attack mode.
Does this sound like it makes sense?
You Yong felt that this might make some sense, but not much. Putting it in the clear real card rules of later generations is a complete nonsense.
But the rules of the duel in the Duel Kingdom chapter have not been perfected and clarified. Maybe the nonsense in the eyes of the card masters in later generations may not be considered nonsense at that time.
So compared to the other nonsense in the animation, Yu Yong can easily accept a mere attack transfer.
And maybe this card in the animation really has this effect. To be honest, Yu Yong thinks this effect is just average, the Holy Spirit only has 800 attack points.
Besides, it's not like he can't handle it. After thinking about it, Yu Yong regained his composure and continued to watch Asano Yuna's operation.
After using the effect of the Holy Spirit (just treat this card as this effect) to increase the attack power of the Emerald Dragon, Asano Yuna directly entered the battle phase:
"Emerald Dragon, attack the elemental hero Golden Blade! Green Claws!!"
The Emerald Dragon, which was strengthened by the elf girl, was very confident. After receiving the attack command from the master, it roared to the sky again, and its sharp claws glowed with a blue light. It flew up and grabbed the Golden Blade who was bound by the hexagram and was in a weak state.
I vowed to tear this piece of iron that just tried to hurt the elf girl into pieces!
[Emerald Dragon, ATK: 3200]
[Elemental Hero·Golden Blade, ATK: 1900]
Seeing that the hero of justice was about to fall under the claws of the evil dragon, You Yong decisively turned over a face-down card:
"At this moment, I activate the Trap Card, Wall of Severance!"
"This card can only be activated when the opponent's monster declares an attack. The attack power of all attack-position monsters on the opponent's field is reduced by the number of monsters on the opponent's field × 800."
"You have two monsters, Emerald Dragon and Holy Spirit on your field, so your Emerald Dragon will lose 1600 points of attack power!"
The ground of the duel field seemed to crack under the effect of the trap card, and various colors of light poured out of the gap, one of which was between Emerald Dragon and Golden Blade.
Emerald Dragon was not afraid at all, and continued to rush forward, tearing the barrier and coming in front of Golden Blade, but felt a sense of weakness in his body.
[Emerald Dragon, attack power: 3200→1600]
[Elemental Hero·Gold Blade, attack power: 1900]
The situation is reversed!
Feeling weak, the Emerald Dragon wanted to retreat, but the Golden Blade Man naturally could not miss this opportunity. Although he was bound by the hexagram and could not take the initiative to attack others, he could not resist someone, no, a dragon came to his door.
He immediately raised his sword and cut off the Emerald Dragon's head and body.
(Golden Blade Man: I didn't expect that I could take a head like this.)
Thanks to the gift of nature
[Asano Yuna, LP: 2000→1700]
"You Yong is quite capable, I will cover another card, and the turn is over."
Seeing that the enhanced Emerald Dragon was defeated, Asano Yuna was not angry, but praised You Yong.
"My turn, draw a card!"
After glancing at the card he drew and then at his hand, You Yong played the card he had just drawn without hesitation:
"Attack Position Summon, Magic Warrior Destroyer. If this card is successfully summoned, activate this and place 1 magic counter on this card."
A magic warrior wearing a red magic robe and holding a sword and shield appeared on the duel field, and the cloak behind him fluttered without wind under the effect of magic.
"The attack power of this card increases by the number of magic counters on this card × 300. Now this card has 1 magic counter, so the attack power increases by 300."
[Magic Warrior Destroyer, attack power: 1600→1900]
Speaking of this card, we have to talk about a famous scene in Yu-Gi-Oh. When the king whipped the corpse of the moth, it was the magic warrior Destroyer who performed the whipping task.
(After the insect moth's life value was reduced to zero and its soul returned to heaven, the magic warrior continued to combo with the moth under the effect of the berserker soul.)
Of course, Yu Yong summoned this magic warrior here not to recreate the famous scene here. After all, the opponent had no grudges against him, and the conditions did not allow it. What he really wanted to do was:
"I will activate the third effect of the magic warrior destroyer, remove 1 magic counter from this card, and destroy a magic trap on the field!"
"I want to destroy the card you just covered!"
Gathering magic power on the blade, the magic warrior destroyer swung a sword at the card that Asano Yuna had just covered. A sword light rushed towards the covered card and shredded it into pieces.
It was a "Holy Shield - Mirror Power"! !
Yu Yong was shocked. He didn't expect to encounter Hanno's noble power here. Fortunately, I was lucky and eliminated it now.
By the way, Holy Defense is a very rare card in the animation, right? In the anime, You Yong has almost never seen anyone other than Yugi use this card.
(In the anime, Anzi used Holy Defense in Noa's virtual world, not a real card, and the Holy Defense used by Gurus is definitely a fake card.)
In the later Yu-Gi-Oh anime, Holy Defense has become a so-called top-level super rare card.
So it seems that this Asano Yuna is really a rich woman, but this description doesn't seem to be completely correct. After all, she is white and beautiful. Uh, maybe it should be called a white, rich and beautiful woman? You Yong thought to himself.
