Chapter 197: Why Are You So Good at Drawing

"Eh!? All monsters with 1500 or less ATK..." Yugi's face changed slightly.

"Not bad, this is the new type of virus evolved from the virus deck over these years, it has already surpassed the original tactics used by Kaiba Seto back then!" Beta laughed loudly.

Destroying all monsters with 1500 or less ATK in the opponent's hand, on the field, and in the next three turns, although it is not as thorough as the previous Crush Card Virus that destroyed all monsters in the deck that met the conditions at once, the suppression power is not necessarily weaker.

First of all, the Crush Card Virus with the anime effect just now was a one-shot deal, only destroying all monsters with 1500 or more ATK in the opponent's deck when activated. But if the opponent uses recovery-type Spells/Traps to recover from the Graveyard later, they will no longer be affected by the virus effect.

But this Deck Devastation Virus is different. Although it doesn't destroy all the HEROes in Yugi's deck at once, all monsters drawn in the next three turns will also be destroyed.

In other words, he has no monsters to summon.

"Hahahaha, you wouldn't think that with a deck full of low-ATK small fry, my virus would be powerless, right? I said, the power of the evolved strongest virus has no blind spots!" Beta laughed.

"How could this be..." Marufuji Sho said, "Destroying all monsters with 1500 or more and 1500 or less ATK, in this way, wouldn't Big Brother have no monsters to summon?"

The model couple Avian and Burstinatrix that were just drawn were both blown to the Graveyard, and Yugi naturally had no monsters to summon for a while, so he had to say: "Then I'll set one card, turn end."

"My turn, draw card."

Beta drew a card and squinted his eyes to look at Yugi's back row.

"Ended with only one Set Card... well, after all, unable to summon monsters, you must be powerless by now.

Beta sneered.

"It seems that your Set Card is the only thing left that can save your life. Since that's the case, let me remove your last hope.

Activate Set Card, Equip Spell 'Premature Burial'!

Pay 800 Life Points, revive a monster from my Graveyard in Attack Position!"

【Beta, LP1150 -> LP350】

"I revive this card that was discarded to the Graveyard last turn—

—Dark Storm Dragon, summon!"

It was like a deep black crack splitting open in the air, just like the barrier of space shattering. The cold wind stirred up dust and fallen leaves on the ground, forming a black tornado that reached the sky.

The huge dragon slowly emerged in the center of the storm, covered in black scales, as if swallowed by the dark night. Two huge black wings spread out, blocking the sky and the sun, and when the wings flapped, the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

【Dark Storm Dragon, ATK 2700】

"Dark Storm Dragon is a Gemini monster. When it exists on the field, it can gain new effects by performing another Normal Summon.

Therefore, I Gemini Summon 'Dark Storm Dragon' to make it gain new effects!"

Beta waved his hand.

"Once per turn, send one face-up Spell or Trap card on my field to the Graveyard, destroy all Spell and Trap cards on the field!

Therefore, I send the Equip Spell 'Premature Burial' to the Graveyard, destroy all Spells and Traps on the field!"

The doomsday-like tornado erupted, as thick as thick ink, dragging the entire field into endless darkness. Yugi's Set Card in the back row was also rolled into the air and shredded into light spots in the air.

Trap Card 'Mirror Force'.

Marufuji Sho: "Ah, Big Brother's Mirror Force was..."

"Hahaha! What a pity, it was actually Mirror Force. If it could have been activated smoothly, maybe it could have bought you a line of opportunity."

Beta shouted.

"Battle! Dark Storm Dragon attacks directly!"

The tornado swept over, and countless tiny whirlwinds formed in the violent flow of air, rotating around the main tornado, like a feast of storms. The gale hiding thousands of sharp blades swept over Yugi.

"Ugh..."

【Yugi, LP4000 -> LP1300】

Yugi swayed and knelt on the ground.

"What's going on, this kind of pain..."

He naturally immediately associated it with the impact he had experienced when dueling in a team with Zhang Ka in the Spirit Realm.

Could it be... a Shadow Duel?

He looked up at the black-clad man opposite, more and more convinced that this person was definitely not a good person.

"I said it, you have no chance at all." Beta said confidently, "Set another card on the field, turn end."

Beta, who finished the operation, sneered and looked at Yugi.

"If you surrender now, maybe you can suffer a little less pain."

"What are you saying?"

Yugi patted the dust off his body and stood up, still smiling.

"This is the first time I've seen such a fun tactic, how could I quit halfway?"

"You guy..." Beta muttered.

Is his brain broken?

"Your deck has already been hit by a double virus, even if you want to perform hand fusion, you can't."

Beta said coldly.

"In this situation, how do you think you can turn the tables?"

"I don't know." Yugi said frankly.

Beta: "?"

"Precisely because I don't know myself, that's why it's fun, isn't it?" Yugi excitedly raised his right hand as if to draw a card, "Although I don't know what I will draw, I can feel that this draw might change the world. Doesn't it feel exciting to think about it?"

Beta: "."

No, I can't understand what you are saying at all.

"Haha, if you don't understand, let me demonstrate it to you. My turn, draw card!"

Yugi directly played the card he drew.

"Spell Card 'Graceful Charity', draw three cards from the deck, then discard two to the Graveyard."

"Muda." Beta sneered, "No matter what monster you draw, you can't keep it in your hand."

Yugi discarded two cards to the Graveyard.

"Then activate the Spell Card 'Hope of the Fifth Act'!" Yugi said, "Add five cards with 'Elemental HERO' in their names from the Graveyard to the deck and shuffle, then draw two cards from the deck.

If there are no other cards in my hand or on the field, draw three cards!

I shuffle the Elemental HEROs 'Bladedge', 'Wildheart', 'Avian', 'Burstinatrix', and the 'Bubbleman' I just discarded back into the deck!"

Five monsters turned into golden light in turn and flew back into his deck.

"I said drawing more is useless." Beta shook his head, "Even if you recover the monsters, as long as you draw them back to your hand, they will be destroyed immediately... Hmm!?"

He saw one of the cards Yugi chose to shuffle back, and suddenly seemed to guess something.

"Right, 'Deck Devastation Virus' will only destroy monsters with 1500 or less ATK in your hand in the next three turns. If you draw a high-ATK high-level monster, it cannot be destroyed.

So is your goal..."

Beta immediately thought of 'Elemental HERO Bladedge', the high-level HERO with 2600 ATK that was just shuffled back into the deck among the HEROes.

"You still have 'Elemental HERO Necroshade' in your Graveyard that was destroyed by Crush Card Virus. I remember that guy's effect is..."

"Oh oh, you actually saw it?" Yugi smiled, "That's right. When Necroshade exists in the Graveyard, there is only one chance, I don't need offerings when I summon an 'Elemental HERO' high-level monster."

"But you only have one high-level monster in your entire deck, which is the Bladedge you just shuffled back." Beta said in a deep voice, "The premise for your COMBO to work is that you can accurately draw that one high-level monster.

Moreover, even if you summon Bladedge, that ATK is still 100 points lower than 'Dark Storm Dragon'. So you also need to draw a card that can strengthen ATK..."

"Hahaha, thinking so much is boring." Yugi laughed, "How to fight, I still have to see what I draw, right?"

Beta: "."

No, your dueling mentality is clearly not right...

"Alright, then I'm going to draw! Because I have no other cards in my hand or on the field, according to the effect of 'Hope of the Fifth Act', draw three cards from the deck.

Draw card!"

Yugi drew three cards with a 'swish'.

Beta stared at him without blinking.

To be reasonable, you still have such a thick deck, and only one card was shuffled back. Isn't it a joke to draw it with such a casual draw...

"According to the effect of 'Elemental HERO Necroshade' in the Graveyard!" Yugi shouted, "Normal Summon 'Elemental HERO Bladedge' without offerings!"

"Nani!?"

The metallic HERO with a golden body flew out with engine exhaust flames behind him, and his figure spun and landed domineeringly on the field in front of Yugi.

【Elemental HERO Bladedge, ATK 2600】

"Actually... really drew it..." Beta was shocked.

Could this kid be the legendary innate card body?

Although he had seen Yugi's similar performance countless times, Hayato on the side couldn't help but say: "Yugi's card drawing is really unreasonable..."

Although Bladedge's ATK is lower than Dark Storm Dragon, it is only 100 points lower. And his Life Points are only 350 left. If there was any card that strengthened ATK by 500 points in this jellyfish-head's god-draw, he would be finished.

After seeing such precise god-draw skill, he didn't dare to gamble.

"Activate Trap - 'Trap Hole'!" Beta shouted, "When a monster with 1000 or more ATK is summoned, destroy it directly!"

A pitch-black void opened at Bladedge's feet, and Bladedge stumbled and fell into it, exploding into fragments with a 'boom'.

"Ah!" Marufuji Sho said, "The monster Big Brother rarely summoned to turn the tables..."

"Hahahaha, this is your move to reverse the situation? What a pity, it didn't work."

Beta pretended to be calm and laughed loudly, but at the same time, he broke into a cold sweat secretly.

Damn, this jellyfish-head is weird, he really drew it as soon as he said he would, scaring me to death...

Fortunately, I am still more skilled.

"Then activate the Spell Card 'Miracle Fusion' from my hand!" Yugi said with a smile.

"Ah?"

Beta's smile stopped abruptly.

What? Miracle Fusion?

"This card allows my HEROes to fuse in the Graveyard." Yugi said, "Perform a Fusion Summon by banishing the cards needed for the 'Elemental HERO' fusion monster from the field and Graveyard!"

He paused and smiled slightly.

"However, I also want to use this card in the Graveyard to replace the fusion material."

He pulled out a monster card from the Graveyard.

"The other monster discarded by Graceful Charity, 'Fusion-Substituter'. This card can be used as a substitute for a fusion material.

Therefore, I will let 'Fusion-Substituter' replace 'Elemental HERO Flame Wingman', and fuse with 'Elemental HERO Sparkman' in my Graveyard!

Appear in the shining radiance—"

The substituter transformed into the image of Flame Wingman, and in a vortex of light, it fused with Sparkman. A dazzling radiance erupted, and the Elemental HERO, bathed in holy light and wearing high-tech armor, appeared in the stream of light.

"Elemental HERO Shining Flame Wingman, summon!"

【Elemental HERO Shining Flame Wingman, ATK 2500】

"Actually fusing from the Graveyard..." Beta gritted his teeth.

"And, Shining Flame Wingman's ATK increases by 300 points for each Elemental HERO in my Graveyard." Yugi smiled, "I still have 'Elemental HERO Necroshade' and 'Elemental HERO Bladedge' in my Graveyard, so ATK increases by 600!"

【Elemental HERO Shining Flame Wingman, ATK 2500 -> ATK 3100】

"ATK 3100!?" Beta was shocked.

"And when Shining Flame Wingman destroys a monster by battle, it will inflict damage to the opponent equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster... of course, it seems it's not needed now." Yugi smiled.

Beta: "."

Does that mean I still owe you a few lives?

"Battle!" Yugi said, "Shining Flame Wingman, attack 'Dark Storm Dragon'!"

The metallic wings seemed to be wrapped in holy light, and the radiance condensed into the shape of flames. Shining Flame Wingman's palms were joined in front of his chest, and the brilliant light beam erupted from his palms, like lightning cutting through the dense forest, piercing through Dark Storm Dragon and whistling past Beta.

Beta was blasted into the air, spinning in the storm and falling off the cliff, his eyes still flashing with unwillingness until the end.

The resentment in his eyes was as if to say—

—Why are you so good at drawing?

【Beta, LP350 -> LP0】
