Chapter 1141: Trap Jinchuriki

Traphole of Piercing, Traphole of Piercing...

Go-sh's mouth twitched slightly.

Damn it, it's never-ending. This broken Traphole looked like it didn't intend to stay in the Graveyard obediently for the whole duel.

Fujiki You Xuan: "Set two cards, turn end."

Go-sh narrowed his eyes.

Didn't attack, even if performing an Xyz Summon, it was a defense monster. Then recovering the Trap again, Setting the back row...

Sure enough, his deduction was correct. The other party's deck's strength was to constantly obstruct his summon of monsters, but now that he had a powerful monster on the field, it was not easy to attack.

Traphole of Piercing could only counter-attack when a monster summoned within the turn attacked, but Kusanagi was a monster that had appeared long ago, so it should be able to ignore that bluffing Traphole and attack directly.

Nothing to be afraid of.

Go-sh: "My turn, draw card!"

He drew the card vigorously, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth turned up.

He had already grasped the initiative of the duel, this wave is doable!

"Activate Magic card 'Xyz Treasure'!" Go-sh said. "This card allows me to draw cards from the deck equal to the number of Xyz monsters on the field." (Original card)

Now there were two Xyz monsters, Kusanagi and Rafflesia, on the field, so he drew two cards from the deck!

Go-sh drew two cards.

"Then the second 'Xyz Treasure', draw two more cards from the deck!"

He narrowed his eyes and glanced at the Traptrix Rafflesia on the opposite side.

He didn't know what ability this monster had, but based on his experience with the Traptrix deck so far, it was mostly hiding some insidious means.

Since that's the case...

"Activate Magic card 'Overlay Break'!" Go-sh said. "This card sends all Xyz materials of all Xyz monsters on the field to the Graveyard, and negates all effects of the 'cannot be destroyed by battle' type!" (Anime card)

This was an original Magic card from the ZEXAL anime. It was clear that the purpose of the Faker faction developing this card was to counter "No.". Sending all materials to the Graveyard, Xyz monsters basically became blank slates. Plus the negation of "cannot be destroyed by battle" type effects, it was basically like printing "target No." on the card face.

Thus, both of Rafflesia's materials were sent to the Graveyard.

"Although I don't know the effect of my monster, taking away the Xyz materials is equivalent to turning the monster into a blank slate... smart." Fujiki You Xuan nodded and expressed affirmation of the opponent's response. "And the premonition of crisis avoidance is also quite good."

"Then direct attack!" Go-sh said. "Heroic Champion - Kusanagi, attack 'Traptrix Rafflesia'!"

Without any intention of pitying the fragrance and cherishing the jade, the Heroic Champion drew his sword and sharpened his knife for the colorful lolis. The moment the blade completely left the sheath, the entire Kusanagi was suddenly wrapped in boiling red flames. He swung his sword backhand, and the trajectory drawn by the tip of the sword actually condensed into substance in the air. That crescent-shaped sword energy was composed of compressed flames, with golden-red fire snakes swimming inside. Where the sword energy passed, the air was steamed by high temperature into water-like ripples.

Fujiki You Xuan: "Activate Set card..."

"Traphole of Piercing can only be activated when a monster summoned within this turn attacks, it's ineffective against Kusanagi!" Go-sh hurriedly interrupted the casting to prevent the other party from having any intention of bluffing.

"I never said I was going to activate Traphole of Piercing." Fujiki You Xuan smiled mysteriously. "What I want to activate is the Set card, Trap card 'D2 Shield'!

D2 Shield doubles the original DEF of a face-up Defense Position monster on my field! I double the DEF of 'Traptrix Rafflesia'!"

【Traptrix Rafflesia, DEF 2500 -> DEF 5000】

"5000 DEF!?" Go-sh was shocked.

"Not over yet." Fujiki You Xuan snapped his fingers again. "Activate Set card, Trap card 'Cross Counter'!

When the DEF of the Defense Position monster being attacked is higher than the ATK of the attacking monster, you can double the battle damage reflected to the opponent!"

Go-sh: "What did you say!?"

What kind of bizarre combination is this!?

Luring the opponent to attack a defense monster, doubling the DEF, and then reflecting the damage. Rafflesia's DEF increased to 5000 in one breath, while Kusanagi's ATK was only 3500. The battle damage was 1500, and doubling it meant 3000 points. 【Go-sh, LP2850】

Go-sh's face instantly looked as ugly as if he had swallowed shit.

I'm actually going to crash and die on this thing?

The sweet smiles of the Traptrix girls were still frozen on their lips, and their pink, tender ankles were suddenly entangled by the fleshy stems of the Rafflesia. Those translucent petals squirmed like living things, first with ominous purple-black edges, then curling inward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the five figures were compressed into the depths of the flower heart, with only the fluorescent color of their hair tips flickering in the gaps of the petals. Vein-like patterns appeared on the surface of the closed flower bud, and the whole flower suddenly doubled in size, with corrosive mucus seeping from the bottom. The fluff extending from the outer edge of the flower calyx, these thorn-like protrusions were opening and closing with the rhythm of breathing, and the tips were still hanging with undried girl hair.

Very fitting for the image of Traptrix—usually appearing to be delicate and easy to push over, but once you are deceived by that appearance and really attack, what greets you is the most dangerous predator in the jungle.

As a hot-blooded man who pursued the ultimate mutual-clashing, Go-sh couldn't accept failure—even after passionately clashing with Yuma, he enjoyed the fun of the duel even if he lost, very happy, and not stuck on winning or losing.

But this way of dying—crashing and dying on a pile of cute lolis who had never confronted him head-on from beginning to end, this he absolutely could not accept.

"Quick-Play Magic 'Pyramid Energy'!" Go-sh shouted. "This card can choose one of two options to activate!

Can increase the ATK of all monsters on my field by 200 points! Or can increase the DEF of all by 500 points.

What I want to choose is, of course, increasing ATK!"

【Heroic Champion - Kusanagi, ATK 3500 -> ATK 3700】

An increase of only 200 ATK, but for Go-sh, it was enough to let him brush past the Grim Reaper. Increasing 200 ATK meant the original 1500 battle damage was reduced to 1300, and doubling it with the 'Cross Counter' effect was only 2600, just enough for him to save his life.

Go-sh: "Ugh, ahhh!"

【Go-sh, LP2850 -> LP250】

250 life points, barely considered saving his life. But even so, the impact of the reflection still shook him enough; his body seemed to be ignited by the sword energy reflected back by Kusanagi.

And this life point total always made people feel like they were being mocked by the other side...

Someone in the crowd sighed: "Pity, almost taken down by the King..."

Although they were in an opposing position, Go-sh's performance by this time had already won the respect of the duelists present. This person's strength was truly extraordinary, and everyone had to admit that this person's combat power was probably indeed above their own. The reason he looked so embarrassed was nothing more than bad luck, running into the King.

It was not easy to be able to tenaciously hold on to this step with the King as an opponent.

"Held on to the damage, worthy of praise." Fujiki You Xuan nodded. "However, the effect of 'Cross Counter' is more than that.

After battle damage calculation, if the DEF of the attacked defense monster is higher than the ATK of the attacking monster, the attacking monster is destroyed."

Boom!

Another explosion sound, and the spreading flames quickly swallowed Kusanagi, as if the energy erupted from the sword in the swordsman's hand had backfired on himself, and the swordsman turned to ashes in a moment.

Go-sh couldn't help but curse again in his heart.

Careless.

His deduction was indeed correct. The Traptrix deck mainly operated by scheduling and recovering various Trapholes, mainly to interrupt the opponent's monster summon and start a battle. But Fujiki You Xuan never said that the traps in his deck were only the Traptrix system.

If you thought that everything would be fine once a big monster successfully stood on the field and avoided the threat of Trapholes, then you were too naive.

Looking at Kusanagi, who was being burned to ashes and still smoking on the field, a "well" symbol couldn't help but appear on Go-sh's forehead.

The guy in front of him... is simply a Trap Jinchuriki. ===== CHAPTER 1142 =====
