Chapter 278

Going to lose... is it?

Chazz looked at the wall-like formation in front of him and was dazed for a moment.

The feeling of powerlessness when facing Fujiki You Xuan before, the feeling that he couldn't do anything, and that whatever he did seemed futile, came back.

Clearly he had experienced so much training, clearly he had become stronger. He crawled back from the depths of hell and had sworn that he must not repeat the same mistakes this time...

As a result, in the end, it turned out that the gap between him and the opponent didn't seem to have narrowed at all.

Bastion's analysis was of course thought of by Chazz. The only thing he could do now seemed to be to command the tokens to commit suicide regardless of the loss of a large amount of life points.

But likewise, he had no doubt that Fujiki You Xuan had arranged countermeasures for this move. Even without trying, he had a premonition that the success rate of doing so was slim.

He was already... powerless.

Almost subconsciously, Chazz looked toward the audience again.

Then he met the angry faces of his two brothers. Without direct communication, he felt as if he heard his brother's voice in his ears again.

"What the hell are you doing, Jun?"

"Forget it, forget it, he was originally the loser among us brothers anyway. It's my fault, I shouldn't have given you so much expectation..."

"Maybe you were born destined to be with the small fry at the bottom."

"..."

No, it shouldn't be like this.

Why is he the loser among the brothers?

Chazz clenched his fists.

No, it's not over yet. This duel, only this duel he absolutely cannot lose!

"My turn!"

Chazz looked up again, and when he looked at the invincible seal formation in front of him, his fighting spirit had ignited again.

That was the burning fighting spirit of a challenger facing an insurmountable peak.

Bet everything on this draw!

"Draw!"

Chazz's pupils contracted, and he held the card he drew high.

"Magic card—"

"—Mini Courage!"

"Oh?" Fujiki You Xuan narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.

Things are getting interesting.

Chazz shouted: "Mini Courage, activate by Tributing a monster on your field. Choose a monster on the opponent's field, and its attack power becomes 0 until the end of the turn!"

"Amazing!"

Bastion stood up from his seat and couldn't help but praise.

"Actually there is this move... That's right, even I didn't think of it..."

"But Cyber Blader is on the field, all card effects are invalidated." Academic scumbag Syrus continued to be confused, "Magic cards will also be invalidated..."

"Cyber Blader can indeed invalidate any card effect." Alexis explained, "But what is invalidated is only the 'effect' of the card. But 'Tributing a monster on the field' is the activation cost of 'Mini Courage', not an effect.

The activation cost of a card cannot be invalidated."

"That's right, as long as one of the three Ojama tokens is Tributed as an activation cost, the three monsters become two, and Cyber Blader's full seal effect will be invalidated." Bastion explained, "In this way, when the effect of 'Mini Courage' is processed, the number of monsters on Chazz's field has become two.

In this way, Cyber Blader's ability to 'invalidate all card effects' will be invalidated..."

He said, looking at Chazz with some admiration.

"Chazz, who returned from the North Academy, is indeed a different person than before. He actually found hope from such an almost impossible situation, now he has surpassed his past self..."

"..."

"I Tribute an 'Ojama Token', and make the attack power of 'Ojama King' in attack position on your field 0!"

【Ojama King, ATK 3000 → ATK 0】

Ojama Yellow spirit floated out on Chazz's side again, actually starting to plead for the opponent: "Ah big brother, don't hit my brother! Or at least don't hit the face..."

"Get lost."

Chazz let out a long, turbid breath.

He couldn't help but glance at the position of his two brothers in the audience again.

This time, the clouds finally cleared on the faces of the two brothers, revealing a hint of approval.

Yes, it had already been decided long ago, don't be the loser among the brothers.

Chazz's gaze was firm.

He wanted to use his own hands to regain his status!

Fujiki You Xuan nodded with a smile: "Not bad, you actually broke the Cyber LOCK, this is not bad..."

"Hmph, your composure ends here." Chazz said, "Because the number of monsters on my field has become two, the effect seal is lifted!

I activate the magic card 'Trade-In'!

Discard a level 8 monster from your hand, draw two cards from the deck!"

Chazz sent a card from his hand to the graveyard, then drew two cards.

"Then it's the magic card 'Graceful Charity', draw three cards, then discard two cards from your hand again!"

After the seal was lifted, Chazz accelerated and drew cards crazily as if in retaliation.

Of course, he didn't forget that the crisis hadn't been completely lifted. Although the seal was temporarily lifted, as long as he summoned another monster, the number of monsters on the field would return to three, and Cyber LOCK would take effect again.

"Then this card will completely shatter your sinister formation—"

Chazz raised a card in his hand and shouted.

"Magic card 'Dark Hole'! All monsters on both fields are destroyed!"

The collapsing celestial body emerged, and the entire field space was distorted. The tokens on Chazz's field, Ojama King and Cyber Blader on Fujiki You Xuan's side, were all sucked into the destructive celestial body and crushed to pieces.

"Then, the effect of the two destroyed 'Ojama Tokens'." Fujiki You Xuan said, "When the tokens are destroyed, give 300 damage to you for each one."

【Chazz, LP4000 → LP3400】

"Tch... but in this way, the field is cleared again."

Chazz shouted.

"Then activate the magic card 'Level Adjustment'!

The opponent draws two cards from the deck, and in exchange, I can Special Summon a 'LV' monster from the graveyard, ignoring the summoning conditions!"

Monster cards exited from the graveyard area.

"Therefore, I revive this card from the graveyard! Return to my field again—"

"—Armed Dragon LV7, return!"

The storm rolled up, and the steel-boned Armed Giant Dragon returned to the field!

【Armed Dragon LV7, ATK 2800】

"The LV monster summoned by the 'Level Adjustment' effect cannot attack or activate effects this turn.

But! I will Tribute 'Armed Dragon LV7' on the field to let it further evolve and upgrade!"

Armed Dragon LV7's figure dissipated as golden light, the storm rolled up, and the giant dragon's body expanded and evolved rapidly in it. The hot red light tore through the sky, and a huge figure slowly emerged in the violent whirlwind.

Hard dragon scales, sharp metal armor flashing with cold light, the whistling of the violent wind turned into a vortex of airflow, as if attached to the side of the giant dragon, and the hot red light flashing in its eyes was like two burning flames.

"The ultimate Armed Dragon, Armed Dragon LV10, summon!"

【Armed Dragon LV10, ATK 3000】
