Chapter 1305: Crimson Lockdown

Yugi raised an arm to block in front of him, and the impact wave from the destroyed Dark Magician spread in all directions.

Although he didn't suffer direct damage, Yugi still felt it through this air wave. This is damage that shouldn't exist in a normal duel, it is an impact that converts duel damage into "reality."

"Shadow Duel?" Yugi frowned.

After all, Yugi has already experienced the chapters of Duelist Kingdom and Battle City, and has seen a lot. He has long known about the existence of Shadow Duels.

"Ho, as expected of the first-generation King, do you also know about Shadow Duels?" Victor smiled, "But this is not a Shadow Duel, well, it's not wrong to understand it that way. In short, it's something similar to a Shadow Duel."

Paused, he revealed a gloomy sneer: "Just like a Shadow Duel, if you lose, you will die."

Yugi: "..."

Yugi actually had some expectations in his heart, and he hadn't been shaken too much by this. After all, it wasn't the first time he had encountered a life-and-death card game.

Even without the other me... I must win.

Victor: "Set a card, turn end."

The last face-down card was slapped onto the Duel Disk, like a layer of data flow rolling over and turning into a pitch-black card form.

Yugi took a deep breath.

He didn't expect the opponent to be able to summon such a powerful monster immediately after being countered by the bomb, and even the ace Dark Magician was beaten down as soon as it landed.

But he won't give up, find a chance to counterattack this turn!

"My turn, draw!"

Yugi drew the card, glanced at it, added the drawn card to his hand, and then revealed another one in his hand.

"Activate the Spell Card 'Silent Doom'!" Yugi said, "Silent Doom can Special Summon a Normal Monster existing in the Graveyard to the field in Defense Position!"

Yugi inserted the Spell Card into the Duel Disk's rear slot, and a burst of colorful data flow rolled along the Duel Disk, soon turning into the projection image of the Spell Card in his back row.

Yugi's mind formed a preliminary plan. Silent Doom revives Dark Magician from the Graveyard, so that "Thousand Knives" in his hand can be used.

Thousand Knives can destroy a monster on the opponent's field directly when Dark Magician is present on his field. Although he still doesn't understand what the so-called Synchro monster is, using the power of Thousand Knives should be able to solve...

But Victor just twitched his mouth when he saw this scene, and then revealed a sneer of a successful conspiracy.

Then he saw the Spell Card "Silent Doom" image that had just emerged in Yugi's back row distort, and electric currents jumped out. Then the Spell Card that had been inserted into the Duel Disk slot was actually "clicked" and ejected by the Duel Disk, bouncing back to Yugi's hand.

"What?" Yugi was surprised, "Silent Doom cannot be activated... why?"

"Let me tell you." Victor sneered, "The monster effect of Crimson Blader is that after destroying a monster in battle and sending it to the Graveyard, for the entire next turn of the opponent, the opponent cannot summon or Special Summon any monster of Level 5 or higher!"

Yugi: "!"

Summoning lockdown!

This monster called Synchro can actually directly lock the opponent's high-level monster summoning for the next whole turn... No, it's not just that.

If there is no means to break through this swordsman, then Yugi will only be able to continuously summon defensive monsters for passive defense. Then as long as there is a monster destroyed by Crimson Blader every turn, Yugi will forever fall into the lockdown cycle of "cannot summon." What a terrifying monster!

A high-speed deck that summons a large number of high-level monsters at high speed, Synchro and Xyz, such unheard-of summoning methods, and now there are powerful effects like summoning lockdown...

In fact, even in the real Dragon Ruler era, Crimson Blader was a hot and popular Synchro monster.

Because it is conceivable that the environment at that time was basically the super-meta "Dragon Ruler" civil war. The main force of the Dragon Ruler deck was all 7-star big monsters that could be Special Summoned at low cost.

In such a situation, if both sides are Dragon Ruler civil war, and one side summons "Crimson Blader" and successfully destroys an opponent's monster in battle, then the opponent will fall into "cannot summon Level 5 or higher monsters" lockdown next turn.

For the Dragon Ruler deck, being unable to summon Level 5 or higher monsters is almost equivalent to "cannot act next turn." So even in the Dragon Ruler civil war, Crimson Blader was often a decisive ace. Once someone was slashed by Crimson Blader, they were finished.

"What's wrong? Are you ready to end the turn without operation?" Victor looked at the hesitant Yugi and sneered, "Or are you ready to give up the struggle and surrender directly? Duel King?"

Yugi looked at the card bounced back in his hand and gritted his teeth again.

Being suppressed by Crimson Blader, Silent Doom cannot be activated. Unable to dispatch Dark Magician, this card and Thousand Knives became waste cards in his hand...

"Activate the Spell Card 'Graceful Charity'." Yugi said, "Draw three cards from the Deck, then discard two cards from your hand."

Yugi drew three cards and then sent the two cards that could not be used for the time being into the Graveyard.

Looking at the three new cards in his hand, Yugi felt slightly relieved.

Great, in this way, he should be able to set up a defense for the time being...

"Set a monster in face-down Defense Position."

Yugi set a monster on the front field, then drew another hand card and inserted it into the Duel Disk slot.

"Then add a face-down card, turn end."

Victor: "Ended the turn with a face-down monster and a face-down card, it seems that you are really at your wit's end, Duel King."

Yugi: "..."

"Well, now that your actions are sealed by Crimson Blader, you have nothing to do anyway." Victor raised his volume, "Then let me speed up and send you on your way! My turn, draw!"

Victor drew a card again, and the display on the Duel Disk flashed "Standby Phase" rapidly, and then entered the "Main Phase."

Yugi held his breath.

It's coming again.

Sure enough, a burst of flames rolled out from Victor's Graveyard, and brought out two other monster cards. Victor grabbed the two cards into his hand, displayed them, and stuffed them into the card box behind him for banishing.

"Activate the effect of 'Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos' from the Graveyard again." Victor said, "Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos can revive itself from the Graveyard by banishing two Dragon-type monsters from the Graveyard."

"I banish 'Dragunity - Dux' and 'Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders' from the Graveyard, burn again—"

"—Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos!" ===== CHAPTER 1306 =====
