Chapter 192: Hanging Your Life on a Thread Is the Correct Way to Play Yu-Gi-Oh!
Buzz——
Accompanied by the golden light generated by the summon, a set of worn leather clothes suddenly appeared in front of Lu You, and the inside was also supported by a stream of energy to move. The most conspicuous thing was the pair of brown leather boots.
Hao Yong should have a special summon point in his hand, probably wanting to summon a link monster from his family.
Unfortunately...
"Next, I activate the effect of [Phantom Knights-Stained Greaves] in my hand!"
"When you have a [Phantom Knights] monster special summoned on your field, this card can be special summoned from your hand, and then you can raise the level of this card by one star!"
Following the silent boots, the monster that Hao Yong had just searched also appeared on the field.
That was also an empty shell armor that could move, with blood and stains on the surface, and even the two long swords were rusted and broken, looking extremely fragile.
Very good!
The materials are almost complete!
After two consecutive special summons, Hao Yong gradually regained the feeling of dueling, and the suppressed passion in his heart was gradually released.
Humph, the so-called underworld tactics are not up to standard at all!
Now let him teach this junior that only fair duels can gain a foothold in the duel world and gain a lot of money and honor.
But what Hao Yong didn't know was that Lu You always regarded himself as fair and honest.
"I use the [Phantom Knights-Silent Boots], [Phantom Knights-Hole Scales] and [Phantom Knights-Stained Greaves] on the field to set up a connection circuit!"
"Connection Summon..."
"[Phantom Knights-Rusted Moon Blade Axe]!"
Buzz--
The next moment, the monster declared by Hao Yong suddenly turned into a stream of light, dyeing the arrow red. When the dazzling light flashed, a complete set of armor appeared on the field. The surface of the red armor seemed to be flowing with blood, and at the same time, a moon blade axe was held high.
After successfully summoning the Rusted Moon Blade Axe, Hao Yong smiled and prepared to activate the effect of this card. After stacking the grave, he placed the family magic trap in the back field.
But at this moment, Lu You's voice suddenly sounded, and Hao Yong looked up with surprise.
"At this moment, activate the effect of [Dinomorph-Tyrannosaurus]!"
"During your turn and your opponent's turn, pay half of your life points, and the attack power of all monsters on the opponent's field will become the same as your life points until the end of the turn!"
Ding——
Another prompt sound of life points decreasing rapidly. From the start of the qualifiers to now, all other games combined have not reduced as much life points as Lu You himself.
When the effect of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was activated, Lu You's life points were halved again to 1000 points.
And the attack power of the Rusted Moon Blade Axe also became 1000 points.
Just reduce the attack power?
Hao Yong was a little confused. He thought that the effect of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was quite strong, but he didn't expect that it was just a reduction in attack power. Lu You's end game was nothing. He would soon be able to...
Hmm?
Suddenly, Hao Yong suddenly found that he could not activate the effect of the Rusted Moon Blade Axe. He was a little panicked and subconsciously looked up at Lu You.
"Hehe, according to the effect of [Dinomorph - Tyrannosaurus], monsters on the opponent's field with attack power higher than your own life value cannot activate their effects."
Is there such a thing?
Reduce your own life value to prevent the opponent from activating monster effects?
Hao Yong was shocked and looked down at his hand. If the effect of Rusty Moon Blade Axe could not be activated, then the subsequent deployment would have to be abandoned, and he would have to switch to defense.
Damn...
Gritting his teeth, Hao Yong decisively gave up the deployment and activated the effect of the monster in the graveyard.
Don't be anxious. Now Lu You only has 1,000 life points. As long as there is a slight flaw, he can clear it.
This feeling is really wonderful. The opponent is obviously on the verge of death, but he has no sense of victory. Instead, he is sweating.
It seems that if he is not careful, he will lose.
He had only experienced similar feelings in the finals of large-scale competitions. Who would have thought that he would experience it at the beginning of the internal selection competition...
"I activate the effect of [Phantom Knights-Broken Gloves] in the graveyard!"
"Exclude this card in the graveyard, and send 1 [Phantom Knights] monster or 1 [Phantom] Magic Trap Card from the deck to the graveyard."
"I send [Phantom Knights-Dust Robe] in the deck to the graveyard!"
Hao Yong continued to replenish graveyard resources.
And because a family monster was excluded in the graveyard, the effect of the Hole Scale Armor was also triggered.
"Then, I activate the effect of [Phantom Knights-Broken Scale Armor] in the graveyard!"
"This card exists in the graveyard, and when a [Phantom Knights] monster is excluded in your graveyard, this card can be special summoned!"
Buzz...
The next moment, the broken scale armor returned to the field, and a dark light emerged from the gaps between the scales.
"I'll face up a card!"
"End of turn!"
No choice...
The suppression power of that Hurricane Tyrannosaurus was quite strong, which reminded him of the [Skill Drain] he had seen in the game before. However, Skill Drain directly negates the effect, while Hurricane Tyrannosaurus just can't activate the effect, so there is still a gap between the two.
I must find a way to deal with this monster first.
Thinking of this, Hao Yong looked at the face-up card in front of him.
It was a continuous trap [Phantom Mist Sword], which could make a monster on the field unable to attack, the effect was invalidated, and neither side could choose that monster as the target of attack.
This card can directly turn Tyrannosaurus Rex into a blank slate that cannot even attack.
As for the spike-shaped dragon queen...
It seems that it only has the effect of copying trap cards. There should be no trap cards in Lu You's graveyard at present, so don't worry about them for the time being.
only……
Hao Yong looked at the three cover cards in front of Lu You. They seemed to have no intention of using them, but they were always a threat.
Looking at Lu You's unchanging smile, Hao Yong felt a surge of anger in his heart for no reason. He wanted Lu You to never laugh again.
Humph, what I am fighting is the underworld!
But even if Lu You didn't use the effect of Tyrannosaurus Rex, he could still stop Hao Yong from continuing.
After all, except for the [Terrorphin Mad Dragon Sonic], the other two Gaika in front of him are also traps.
One of them is [Infinite Bubble], and the other...
It’s also [Infinite Bubble].
"My turn, draw a card!"
brush--
Lu You suddenly pulled out a card, and everyone in the arena focused their attention on him. After all, the scene of this duel was too weird. He clearly had the advantage, but his health points were at an extreme disadvantage.
1,000 points is obviously not the lower limit for Lu You.
If you continue to activate monster effects, this value will continue to decrease. If you have to pay half of your health every time, then...
The higher-ups of the college couldn't help but become nervous and took out their handkerchiefs to wipe the sweat on their foreheads. They hadn't watched such an exciting duel for a long time.
What's more, this scene was created by Lu You himself.
He actively chose to struggle!
Even Zheng Qiao was surprised. The Lu You he knew would never put himself in danger.
I'm afraid Lu You's health points only looked very low, but it was quite difficult to clear them to zero. He clearly felt that Hao Yong was a little unable to hold back and wanted to end the game immediately.
But the flaws will soon be exposed to Lu You.
"fighting!"
"[The Hormone Dragon-Hurricane Tyrannosaurus Rex] attacks [Phantom Knights-Rusted Moon Blade Axe]!"
After the card drawing was over, Lu You entered the battle stage without hesitation.
So decisive?
Hao Yong looked shocked and quickly opened the cover card. He had to ensure that he had enough resources on the field, at least not to be directly attacked.
"At this moment, activate the trap card [Phantom Mist Sword]!"
"Target 1 effect monster on the field. The target monster cannot attack, the effect is invalidated, and both monsters cannot select the target monster as the target of attack!"
"I choose the [Tyrophine-Tyrannosaurus Rex] on your field!"
The next moment, a long sword appeared in front of Hao Yong, but only the hilt was solid. The sword body was composed of black mist, and there were ghost-like creatures floating around.
This card can indeed destroy the Tyrannosaurus Rex, but Lu You has already prepared a way to deal with it.
"I launch a chain of counterattack traps, [Terrorphin Mad Dragon Sonic]!"
"There is [Derphin Mad Dragon] on your field. When the opponent activates a magic or trap card, you will pay half of your life points!"
"The activation of that one is invalid and destroyed. After that, choose 1 [Pyrophine Dragon] monster on your field and destroy it!"
"I invalidate and destroy your [Phantom Mist Sword]!"
Bang——
A pterosaur-like sonic fighter plane swooped down from the sky and instantly smashed Hao Yong's permanent trap.
At the same time, the Therizinosaurus on the land playground was also destroyed and sent to the cemetery.
And even if Therizinosaurus leaves the field, there will be other dinosaur players to fill the gap.
"Then, I activate the effect of the [Derphin Mad Dragon - Therizinosaurus] in the graveyard!"
"If this card is destroyed by battle or effect, remove 1 Trap Card from the Graveyard, and select 1 Level 4 or lower [Derphin Dragon] monster from the Graveyard to Special Summon!"
"I specially summon the [Diplodocus-Diplodocus] in the cemetery!"
Just a moment...
Lu You defused Hao Yong's offensive.
Without the restrictions of [Phantom Mist Sword], Cyclonus Tyrannosaurus can directly activate its effect, once again reducing Lu You's health and the attack power of the Rusty Moon Blade Axe.
And because Lu You activated the speed of sound just now, his health points are now only 500 points. If it drops further...
Hao Yong was breathing heavily and his heartbeat was racing. With only 250 health points, he was completely vulnerable!
even……
He only needs to fight and destroy the monster with the lowest attack power on the land game field!
And that monster was the Diplodocus that Lu You had just summoned.
The attack power is only 1000 points!
if only……
Attack established...
Hao Yong's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. If he couldn't even do such a simple operation, then he would withdraw from the internal selection competition!
At this moment, everyone in the entire arena was nervous about Lu You's initiative to hang his life on the line. He clearly had the advantage, but was only one step away from failure.
It's like walking on a tightrope, if you don't pay attention you will fall.
The senior officials of the college stood up subconsciously, and some even turned to look at Zheng Qiao.
"This is the student you recommended? Does he usually duel like this?"
"It's crazy. It's only been a few rounds and there are only a few hundred health points left. If we go out, isn't that all a risk?"
Zheng Qiao smiled, and he expected the reaction from the senior management.
"Leaders, don't worry. Although Lu You's health looks like a candle in the wind, it is still very difficult to clear it to zero."
"Aren't those two cover cards never activated?"
Indeed...
But this reason is too far-fetched, and several college executives did not continue to ask, but continued to watch the game.
"I activate the effect of [Dinomorph Mad Dragon-Diplodocus]!"
"When this card is successfully summoned or special summoned, send 1 [Dinomorph Mad Dragon] card from the deck to the graveyard."
"When your life value is below 2000 points, inflict 500 damage to the opponent!"
"I send [Dinomorph Mad Dragon Cruelty] in the deck to the graveyard!"
Ding——
From the beginning of the game to now, Ao Yong has finally suffered life value damage, but compared with Lu You, this damage is really insignificant.
Compared with this, Hao Yong is more concerned about the trap that Lu You sent to the graveyard.
After all, the Spike Dragon Queen can copy the effects of trap cards in the graveyard, and sending it to the graveyard means that Lu You has another trump card that can be used.
"Then, activate the effect of [Dinomorph Crazy Dragon-Hurricane Tyrannosaurus] again!"
"The HP is halved, and the attack power of all monsters on the opponent's field becomes the same as your HP!"
Buzz——
Lu You's HP is reduced to 250 points, and the attack power of the Modified Moon Blade Axe is also the same.
The battle phase is not over yet.
The attack continues!
Boom——
Under the impact of the huge body of the Hurricane Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Rusted Moon Blade Axe was crushed into pieces, and with the familiar sound of monster explosions, Hao Yong's HP dropped rapidly.
It finally stopped at 4750 points.
"[Dinomorph Crazy Dragon-Nailed Dragon Queen] attacks [Phantom Knights-Broken Scales]!"
Boom——
The attack power of the Nailed Dragon Queen increased as Lu You's HP decreased, and now it far exceeded the defense power of the broken armor.
The familiar sound of monster explosions came again, and the thermal energy knife on the forearm of the Nailed Dragon Queen instantly cut through the fragile armor and shredded the energy filled in it.
At this moment, Hao Yong's field was empty, and Lu You could attack directly.
"The battle continues!"
"[Dinomorph Dragon-Diplodocus] attacks the opponent's player directly!"
Hao Yong naturally couldn't bear the 1,000 points of life damage. Even if there were no resources on the field, he still had usable cards in his graveyard.
"At this moment, I activate the effect of [Phantom Mist Sword] in the graveyard!"
"Exclude this card in the graveyard, and target 1 [Phantom Knights] monster in the graveyard, and special summon that monster!"
"I want to revive [Phantom Knights-Rusted Moon Blade Axe]!"
Humph, my Phantom Knight is indestructible!
When Hao Yong finished speaking, the blood-stained armor returned to the field.
And Lu You chose to give up this attack.
"My turn is over."
The card he just drew was [Gray Flowing Beauty], which basically had no ability to be deployed in this turn, and there was no need to do so. Going directly into the battle phase was the most appropriate way to deal with it.
Of course, the attack means that the Diplodocus on the field is indeed a hidden danger.
But...
If the opponent does not deal with the Tyrannosaurus Rex first, it is impossible to destroy the Diplodocus in battle.
Hao Yong is naturally aware of this. Although his hand is not rich, the Dust Robe and Silent Boots in the graveyard can both activate the search effect.
Since it is difficult to cause combat damage, he will switch to effect damage.
It just so happens that there is a suitable continuous magic in his deck that can cause 500 points of damage. As long as it succeeds once, it will be enough to clear Lu You's life value.
Like to play extreme?
The next round will be your defeat!
Hao Yong snorted coldly, suddenly drew a card, and immediately started his turn.
"My turn, draw a card!"
