Chapter 1164

Fujiwara Yusuke cleared his mind—especially focusing on blocking out that endless, cheap mouth across from him—and concentrated on this draw.

Don't underestimate that mouth; its influence is actually quite significant. It is well known that duelists play cards based on "momentum," and momentum is something that can change in real-time according to the atmosphere on the dueling field.

For example, those colorful-haired seafood-heads usually, when satisfied with the situation of being like a candle in the wind and on the verge of a desperate situation, can have their fate power skyrocket in minutes just by shouting about friendship or bonds, and top-decking or cheating is basically a sure thing.

Even more outrageous was when Vector set a trap for Yuma back in the day, designing a situation where Yuma was almost certain to die—not to mention his life points being like a candle in the wind, his deck only had one card left, and it was one he had tricked Yuma into putting in through an off-board move.

The card was even face-up, and Vector probably thought his car was steady and couldn't be overturned. However, he never expected that after the opponent delivered a touching speech about friendship and bonds, the fate power was pulled to the level of cheating, and without even acting, he openly changed the last card in his hand, including the card art and effect text. Vector was so shocked at the time he almost cursed out loud.

So, if a positive speech can increase fate power and set the atmosphere to facilitate cheating, then by the same logic, delivering an interfering speech also has side effects, just like what Fujiki You Xuan is doing now. Fujiwara Yusuke had to muster twelve times the spirit to tell himself to stay focused, because if he didn't, his faith in Darkness might really waver, and at such a time, if faith wavers, a ghost draw would be the end of it.

"—Draw!"

Fujiwara Yusuke drew a card, and then his eyes lit up.

The omnipotent Darkness had not abandoned him yet.

"Activate the Quick-Play Spell 'Evil Spirit Dispersal'!" Fujiwara Yusuke said, "Discard one card from your hand to destroy all face-up Continuous Trap cards on the field!"

A card was discarded to the graveyard, and a murderous aura suddenly erupted. A transparent shockwave surged over, instantly crushing Fujiki You Xuan's back-row DNA Surgery into fragments.

The trap card disappeared, and the power of attribute modification was immediately wiped from the field. The layer of black mist shrouding the Pure Phantom on Fujiwara Yusuke's field also instantly dissipated into gray ash.

The noble Pure monster finally regained its "no attribute" characteristic.

"And at this moment, I activate the Quick-Play Spell 'Very Food'." Fujiwara Yusuke said, "Send the activating 'Evil Spirit Dispersal' to the graveyard to recover 1000 life points."

【Fujiwara Yusuke, LP2600→LP3600】

This Very Food was also just drawn with 'Seven Stars Treasure Sword', which is a bit of a pity. If he had drawn it earlier, he could have used Very Food to eat his own field directly without wasting a Harpie's Feather Duster.

"Heh, with this, my attack lock is also lifted." Fujiwara Yusuke said, "But in the Pure World, your monsters still cannot attack.

My turn ends."

"Then in the End Phase, I activate a set card." Fujiki You Xuan opened his back row again, "Continuous Trap 'Mimic Elephant'!

After this card is activated, it can be Special Summoned as a monster card on my field. I Special Summon 'Mimic Elephant'!"

The blue energy condensing in the air was like metal shavings attracted by a magnet, rushing wildly toward the center. A pair of serrated fangs emerged, and the energy body, compressed to the limit, plowed a harsh, explosive sound through the air. Next were the scarlet eyes; this giant elephant, composed of pure magic, roared, emitting transparent sound waves, and its long trunk, like an energy light whip, lashed out, creating cracks on the ground.

【Mimic Elephant, DEF 2000】

Fujiwara Yusuke was puzzled: "Trap monster?"

Trying to consolidate defense? Or as ammunition for Dark Dive Bomber? But this monster is only Level 2; even if used as ammunition, it only deals 400 points of damage.

Fujiki You Xuan said: "The effect of Mimic Elephant: once per turn, you can declare one race and one attribute, and make one face-up monster on the field become the declared race and attribute only for this turn!"

Fujiwara Yusuke: "!"

It really is attribute change again, damn it!

He had vaguely guessed before that the opponent's set card might still hide a means of attribute change, but even so, he didn't expect that this time it was actually a once-per-turn type.

What does this mean?

It means that as long as Fujiki You Xuan likes, he can make Fujiwara Yusuke's monsters change between Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Light, Dark, and other attributes every turn. Attack lock this turn, spell lock next turn, blow up a monster the turn after, and burn some life points the turn after that.

"Let me see, it's already the end of the turn, so let's try this one this time." Fujiki You Xuan snapped his fingers, "Let's change to Fire attribute first."

Consequently, flames suddenly ignited on the Pure Phantom on Fujiwara Yusuke's field. The flames swept toward Fujiwara Yusuke, scorching him until he groaned in pain.

【Fujiwara Yusuke, LP3600→LP2600】

"It seems the Fire attribute has a burn effect." Fujiki You Xuan narrowed his eyes.

Fujiwara Yusuke gritted his teeth. The effect of Pure World: a duelist who controls a Fire attribute monster must take 1000 points of damage at the end of their turn. The life points he had just recovered were immediately returned to his own field.

This is too outrageous; it's as if he's going to eat all the side effects of his own Pure World for every attribute.

"My turn, draw."

Fujiki You Xuan drew a card and revealed his hand.

"Activate the Spell card 'Magical Book of the Pot', both players draw three cards from their decks."

Fujiwara Yusuke narrowed his eyes.

Drawing three cards at once...

The bomber can sacrifice a monster to deal damage equal to its level x 200 directly to him, and the bomber itself is a Level 7 monster. That is to say, as long as he sacrifices the bomber itself, it's 1400 points of damage directly. Plus the Level 2 Mimic Elephant that can be used as a monster, he can deal 1800 output.

Now Fujiwara Yusuke's life points are 2600; in other words, as long as the opponent happens to draw another Level 4 monster and adds 800 points of output, he is finished.

However...

Fujiki You Xuan drew three cards and raised his eyebrows.

"Well, since you are a boss-level opponent, your luck is not bad." Fujiki You Xuan said, "Set three cards in the back row, turn ends."

Fujiwara Yusuke felt slightly relieved.

No monsters; it seems he survived for now.

Even if he sacrifices Dark Dive Bomber itself, the damage isn't enough. Clearly, the opponent intends to let the bomber stay for one turn.

Next turn, use Mimic Elephant to change the Pure Phantom to Fire attribute again, the field effect of Pure World will burn Fujiwara Yusuke for 1000 life points, and then activate the effect of Dark Dive Bomber, and Fujiwara Yusuke will be finished too.

Fujiwara Yusuke gritted his teeth and slowly reached for his deck.

It's time for a destiny draw again.

It's miserable to think about it; he, a dignified Darkness agent, should have been a behind-the-scenes boss, calmly playing with his opponents, but it ended up as if every draw was a destiny draw, relying entirely on god-tier draws to sustain his life.

"Draw!"

"Activate the Spell card 'Graceful Charity', draw three cards from the deck, then discard two cards from your hand."

Fujiwara Yusuke drew the card vigorously.

But no matter what, he cannot lose; even if he has to rely on a god-tier draw, he must continue.

Otherwise, if he couldn't win even after turning evil and becoming Darkness, wouldn't his turning evil be in vain?

Facts proved that his turning evil was mostly not in vain; the power of Darkness was still effective, and the deck gave the answer once again.

Fujiwara Yusuke's eyes lit up.

"Activate the Continuous Spell 'Burning Land'!" Fujiwara Yusuke shouted, "When this card is activated, destroy the Field Spell card on the field!

Destroy the Field Spell 'Pure World' that you stole from the past!"
