Chapter 1373: Don Thousand

"Duel!" x2

【Fujiki You Xuan, LP4000】

【Don Thousand's Clone, LP4000】

"I'll start from my first turn, draw." Don Thousand's clone drew a card. "Last time it was your luck, but this time it won't... never again."

As he spoke, the pitch-black figure had already played a Spell from his hand.

"Activate Spell Card 'Don Thousand's Contract'!" Don Thousand's clone said. "This card is activated by the opponent paying 2000 Life Points!" (Anime effect)

The Spell Card had just appeared on the field, and the blue transparent electric light had wrapped around Fujiki You Xuan, taking away half of his Life Points with a series of *zizi* and *papa* explosions.

【Fujiki You Xuan, LP4000 -> LP2000】

The red-haired loli Yasuda Uria, who had turned into a spirit form, floated out to the field, showing anger: "There is no reason for the opponent to pay Life Points to activate? What kind of ghost card is this?"

Don Thousand's clone said coldly: "This is my power, my authority. If you are not convinced, then surpass me with stronger power."

The anime original version of Don Thousand's Contract is indeed this activation condition. Of course, this setting is not very scientific at a glance, so it is naturally modified and weakened when it is made into a real card.

The Don Thousand's Contract after the real card was changed to "both sides lose 1000 Life Points from the deck" when activated, which retained the characteristics of the original work to a certain extent and was more reasonable.

And in the 4000-blood environment of the anime, this cost of paying 2000 blood first by the opponent undoubtedly seemed a bit hard.

Don Thousand's clone continued: "The previous one was just the activation cost, and the next is the effect. First, the first effect of 'Don Thousand's Contract', when this card is activated, both sides draw one card from their deck."

Fujiki You Xuan and Don Thousand's clone each drew a card.

Of course, if it was just like this, it would be equivalent to the opponent's starting hand becoming seven cards, which seemed to be one more card than his own, but since it was a card with the name "Don Thousand" printed in the title, it would naturally not be a fuel-efficient lamp.

"And, as long as this card exists on the field, both of us must display the cards drawn through this card's effect, or the cards drawn in the Draw Phase," Don Thousand's clone said. "If the drawn card is a Spell Card, then that player cannot Normal Summon for the rest of this turn!"

"If you draw a Spell Card, you can't Normal Summon, it's really an effect that causes trouble for people," Uria frowned. "However, this condition should be the same for both sides..."

Don Thousand's clone revealed the card he drew: "The card I drew is 'Shadow Ghost', a monster card."

Fujiki You Xuan also calmly revealed the card he just drew: "The card I drew is 'Cotton Ball'. This card can be Special Summoned directly from the hand when added to the hand by the effect of other cards. Come on, Cotton Ball!"

As he spoke, the card had been slammed onto the Duel Disk. After a flash of light, the white light gathered into the form of a white cotton ball.

【Cotton Ball, DEF 300】

"Used my card's effect to prostitute a monster, huh," Don Thousand's clone said. "But it won't be without a price. I activate the effects of two 'Shadow Ghost' from my hand! At the cost of not being able to Normal Summon this turn, Special Summon this card and another Level 4 or lower Fiend-type monster from my hand."

He revealed two Shadow Ghosts in one breath.

"'Shadow Ghost' itself is a Level 4 or lower Fiend-type monster, so I Special Summon two 'Shadow Ghost' from my hand!"

Two dim black vortices opened on Don Thousand's clone's field, from which chaos erupted, and the ferocious darkness transformed into ghost-like forms on the field, standing on both sides of his field.

【Shadow Ghost, ATK 200】 x2

"Oh? So there are two Level 2 monsters at the same time," Fujiki You Xuan said.

"Not bad," Don Thousand's clone said. "I overlay two Level 2 'Shadow Ghost'! Construct the Overlay Network with two monsters, Xyz Summon! NO. 65! The Cursed Executioner of Judgment, Master Key Beetle - Judgment Breaker!!!"

The mark of 65 burned in the void, the double-edged blade shrouded in red light cut through the air, like a demon in armor descending from the violent chaotic network, with dark purple materials orbiting around his body.

【NO. 65 Master Key Beetle - Judgment Breaker, ATK 1300】

Sensing the extraordinary energy in this NO., Fujiki You Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "This card, this power... So that's it, Vector's avatar?"

"Not bad," Don Thousand's clone said coldly. "This is one of the seven NO. s in the ruins of the Seven Barian Emperors, originally belonging to Vector in his past life."

The Seven Emperors were originally humans intercepted by Don Thousand, and Vector in his past life was also once a king of a country. This Master Key Beetle was once a NO. held by Vector.

Now Vector is dead, but this NO. was not recovered by Yuma and others, but fell into the hands of Don Thousand's clone.

However, number 65, is a NO. sorted before the number one hundred. Then this card is obviously also a part of Astral's lost memory fragments.

"Fine, for the sake of everyone already being teammates," Fujiki You Xuan muttered, "Yuma, Astral, I'll take this card for you first."

Don Thousand's clone played another hand card, waving his hand to cover the back row.

"Set one card, my turn ends."

Don Thousand's clone looked at the two face-down cards with a solemn expression.

One of them was the troublesome "Royal Decree" just now.

Uria reminded: "Be careful, Master, that monster is weird. And the guy opposite is not easy to deal with..."

Fujiki You Xuan glanced at her sideways, chuckled: "Oh? Willing to call me Master?"

Uria was stunned, and then her cheeks flushed: "You... don't misunderstand! It's just because you came to help me, slightly... don't push your luck!"

"Okay, okay, I know, no misunderstanding," Fujiki You Xuan didn't care, "Then my turn, draw."

At this time, a burst of magic flames rolled over the Spell in Don Thousand's clone's back row, and he reminded: "While Don Thousand's Contract is on the field, all cards drawn by both sides must be publicly displayed."

Fujiki You Xuan revealed the card he drew: "The card I drew is 'Mystic Tomato', not a Spell Card."

"Lucky guy," Don Thousand's clone said.

Uria praised: "Good! In this way, you can still Normal Summon this turn..."

Fujiki You Xuan didn't rush to summon monsters, but first played a Spell: "Activate Spell Card 'TakeOver5', send five cards from the top of my deck to the Graveyard." (Anime card)

Fujiki You Xuan drew five cards from his deck and pushed them all into the Graveyard.

"Then Normal Summon 'Mystic Tomato'!"

The card just drawn and displayed was summoned directly to the field, and the round little demon with only one head jumped out to the field, blinking its three eyes neatly.

【Mystic Tomato, ATK 1000】

"Then this card in my hand can be Special Summoned by releasing any one monster on my field."

Fujiki You Xuan held another monster card in his hand with two fingers.

"The ruler of the ancient dynasty, now appears here—

—Pharaoh's Descent!!!" ===== CHAPTER 1374 =====
