Chapter 280

Mirror Force activated, the holy blue radiance condensed into a translucent barrier form in front of Fujiki You Xuan, blocking the front of Light and Darkness Dragon's dragon breath.

"What?" Chazz frowned, "Useless, I said, in front of Light and Darkness Dragon, no matter how many traps are meaningless.

Light and Darkness Dragon's effect activates again, reducing attack power by five hundred points, and give me Mirror Force too..."

"Hmm!?"

Chazz watched Light and Darkness Dragon ignore his instructions and continue to spit dragon breath toward the reflective shield, and his heart and lungs stopped instantly.

Why?

Why didn't the effect activate?

"Take back the previous words, it seems that you still don't fully understand the power of your new friend, Chazz." Fujiki You Xuan smiled.

Always invalidating when the effect is activated sounds very invincible, but you will know it's not as easy to use as imagined after trying it in actual combat.

Because the effect of Light and Darkness Dragon actually has a hidden restriction, "this effect can only be activated once per chain."

This rule was clearly written on the card text of Light and Darkness Dragon in later generations, but it was not written in the old version effect, and Konami only specifically noted the explanation of "can only be activated once per chain" in the official ruling.

So the moment the attack was declared, Fujiki You Xuan first activated "No Entry" to change the opponent to defense, and Light and Darkness Dragon's effect was forced to activate to invalidate it, but Fujiki You Xuan immediately chained and activated "Mirror Force."

Because it was activated on a chain at the time of attack declaration, Light and Darkness Dragon's invalidation had already been handed over to "No Entry," so it could no longer start against the activation of Mirror Force.

"Well, Light and Darkness Dragon also has weaknesses, remember this fact after today. You're welcome."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled.

"Mirror Force's effect passes, destroying all monsters in attack position on the opponent's field."

He waved his hand and swept across Chazz's field.

"Therefore, 'Armed Dragon LV10' and 'Light and Darkness Dragon' are destroyed!"

Light and Darkness Dragon, destroyed!

"Uh..." Chazz's face looked ugly again.

His strongest trump card, on which he placed all his hopes, his invincible Light and Darkness Dragon, was actually solved just like this...

Chazz only then realized.

Can't activate it a second time in the same chain...

It is indeed a huge weakness of Light and Darkness Dragon.

But the problem is, even he didn't know, how did Fujiki You Xuan know this?

Looking at Fujiki You Xuan again, Chazz felt for a moment that this person's image was becoming more and more unfathomable. It seemed that every time he felt that he had made enough progress and was full of confidence to find his place, he would always find that the opponent had hidden far more than he had seen before.

Could it be that even if he struggled to this step, the distance between him and this guy actually hadn't narrowed at all?

No, impossible.

He absolutely cannot accept this fact.

"Light and Darkness Dragon's final effect!" Chazz shouted, "When this card is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, destroy all cards on your field!

Then Special Summon a monster from your graveyard to the field!"

The onlookers held their breath again.

Does a dragon that already has such a powerful ability have hidden abilities?

Chazz drew a card that exited from the graveyard area.

"Revive from the graveyard again—"

"—Armed Dragon LV5!"

【Armed Dragon LV5, ATK 2400】

Armed Dragon LV7 and LV10 both have strict summoning restrictions, except for special resurrection that ignores summoning conditions for LV monsters like "Level Adjustment," they cannot be Special Summoned by other card effects even if they appear normally.

"Armed Dragon LV5 direct attack!"

Armed Dragon's sharp claws fell, and a red whirlwind whistled toward Fujiki You Xuan.

"Then, discard 'Kuriboh' from my hand." Fujiki You Xuan said, "Make the battle damage 0 once."

"Kuri!"

Kuriboh jumped onto the field, Armed Dragon's claw landed on Kuriboh, but still couldn't pass.

Still not working...

Chazz only then realized that he had started panting without knowing it.

But this was already his limit.

"Alright, then the Battle Phase ends, and then activate the magic card 'Treasured Cards from the Heavens'.

In the turn that a Tribute Summon was performed, draw two cards, but the two cards drawn cannot be used, and if they can be set, at least one must be set." (Original card)

Chazz drew two cards, frowned slightly, and then drew the two cards along with another card in his hand.

"Set two cards in the back row." Chazz said, "Then activate the Quick-Play Magic 'Super Regeneration'!

During the End Phase of the turn, draw cards from the deck according to the number of Dragon-type monsters discarded from the hand and Dragon-type monsters Tributed this turn.

The Dragon-type monsters I discarded this turn include one from Trade-In, two from Graceful Charity, and the Tributed Dragon-types include Praying Dragon and two Praying Dragon Tokens.

Therefore, draw a total of six cards from the deck!"

Chazz drew six cards instantly.

Worthy of being the strongest card draw for the Dragon race, it already had the flavor of the Dragon Ruler super-mainstream dominating the environment back then.

"Then it's my turn, draw." Fujiki You Xuan said, "First, activate the magic card 'Treasured Cards from Adversity'. (Original card)

When the opponent has Special Summoned monsters and I have no monsters on my field, draw two cards."

Fujiki You Xuan drew cards from the deck.

"Then it's the effect of Field Magic 'Ojamagic'. Once per turn, send a card with 'Ojama' in its name from your hand to the graveyard, and Special Summon an 'Ojama' monster from the graveyard."

He sent a card from his hand to the graveyard.

"Discard the magic card 'Ojama Delta Hurricane' from my hand, revive, Ojama King!"

【Ojama King, ATK 0】

"And because Ojama monsters appeared on the field, the effect of 'Ojamagic', the original attack and defense are swapped!"

【Ojama King, ATK 3000】

"Ojama King, attack 'Armed Dragon LV5'."

Ojama King shouted, pulled up his tight red underpants, made a muscle-showing pose, and then flew out a Superman punch. Armed Dragon was smashed by one punch and exploded with a bang.

【Chazz, LP3400 → LP2100】

"Damn it, being beaten by this kind of comedian monster again..." Chazz raised his arm to protect his chest, gritting his teeth.

For a moment, he only felt that this group of Ojama comedians was really more annoying the more he looked at them, and more angry the more he fought.

"Set two more cards, the turn is over."

"Then it's my turn, draw."

Chazz looked at Ojama King with a gloomy face.

Ever since he learned that the opponent for the confrontation match was this guy again, he couldn't eat or sleep, and almost didn't sleep well for a day. As long as he closed his eyes, a sunny, gentle but annoying smiling face would unconsciously float in the darkness in front of him.

He had worked so hard for this day, and made so many preparations. He considered himself to have reached an unprecedented peak, but when he came for revenge with great momentum, what appeared in front of him?

Ojama trio, Ojama tokens, Ojama King...

The only traditional big monster that looked decent throughout the whole duel was Cyber Blader, and even if it appeared, it was actually an accomplice of Ojama...

Is his revenge battle going to fail in the hands of this kind of thing?

Don't joke!

"Activate the trap card 'Breakthrough Skill' from the graveyard. It can only be activated during your own turn, banish this card from the graveyard, and invalidate the effect of a monster on the opponent's field. I invalidate the effect of 'Ojama King', so the seal on the monster zone is lifted."

Chazz drew another card.

"Then activate the magic card 'Monster Reincarnation'! Discard a card from your hand, and return a monster from the graveyard to your hand.

I return 'Light and Darkness Dragon' from the graveyard to my hand."

A sense of impending storm, the whole audience instinctively held their breath.

Is that dragon coming back?

"And chain the effect of 'Monster Reincarnation'." Chazz said, "Quick-Play Magic 'Light of Redemption', Special Summon an Angel-type monster from your hand. The monster Special Summoned by this effect has its attack power halved and is destroyed at the end of the turn.

I Special Summon the Angel-type 'Agent of Creation - Venus'!"

【Agent of Creation - Venus, ATK 1600】

"Of course, Venus will have its attack and defense swapped by the effect of 'Ojamagic', and its attack power will be halved... but that's not important."

Chazz continued.

"Chain the activation of Light of Redemption, and use this card again. Continuous Trap 'Dragon's Rage'.

As long as this card exists on the field, when your Dragon-type monster attacks a defense monster, if the attack power exceeds the defense power, give piercing damage!"

"Oh?" Fujiki You Xuan was interested, "It seems like you are doing some incredible formation."

"You will understand soon." Chazz said in a deep voice, "Then activate the Quick-Play Magic 'Summon Chain'. This card can only be activated when the chain is 3 or higher.

I can perform up to three Normal Summons this turn."

"Is it for this purpose." Fujiki You Xuan nodded lightly.

"First is this guy... Normal Summon 'Darkblade the Dragon Knight'!" Chazz said, "When this card is summoned, you can change a monster on the field to face-up defense position."

【Darkblade the Dragon Knight, ATK 1800 → ATK 1100】 (ATK/DEF swap)

He pointed at Ojama King on Fujiki You Xuan's field.

"Turn Ojama King to defense!"

【Ojama King, ATK 3000 → DEF 0】

"That's it!" Bastion in the stands understood, "Continuous Trap 'Dragon's Rage' can let Dragon-type monsters pierce defense..."

"Want to pierce defense and kill in one breath?" Syrus suddenly realized.

"..."

"The effect of 'Summon Chain', second Normal Summon." Chazz shouted, "I Normal Summon the second 'Praying Dragon', and activate its effect!

Tribute Praying Dragon, Special Summon two Dragon Tokens!"

【Dragon Token, ATK 0】 x2

"Then the effect of 'Summon Chain', third Normal Summon.

Tribute the two 'Dragon Tokens', the boundary of light and darkness, descend again—"

"—Light and Darkness Dragon, summon!"

Holy Light and Darkness Giant Dragon, Chazz's new trump card, appeared for the second time in the light and dark storm!

【Light and Darkness Dragon, ATK 2800 → ATK 2400】 (ATK/DEF swap)

"Go, Fujiki You Xuan! Let you see the limit I possess now!"

Chazz shouted.

"Activate the effect of 'Agent of Creation - Venus'!" Chazz said, "Pay 500 life points, Special Summon a 'Mystical Shine Ball' from the deck to the field!"

【Chazz, LP2100 → LP1600】

"Eh?" Syrus was stunned, "But in that case, wouldn't it be..."

Before he finished speaking, Chazz on the field had already started to explain: "Not bad, Light and Darkness Dragon's effect is mandatory. Reduce its own attack and defense by 500 points, and invalidate the effect of 'Agent of Creation - Venus'."

【Light and Darkness Dragon, ATK 2400 → ATK 1900】

Everyone was stunned.

Invalidating your own effect is okay, what kind of operation is this?

"But Venus's effect doesn't have a once-per-turn limit, so I pay 500 life points again, and Special Summon 'Mystical Shine Ball' from the deck."

Chazz narrowed his eyes.

"Of course, this effect will still be invalidated by Light and Darkness Dragon, and its attack and defense will drop by 500 points again."

【Chazz, LP1600 → LP1100】

【Light and Darkness Dragon, ATK 1900 → ATK 1400】

The onlookers were more and more confused, but Fujiki You Xuan seemed to have roughly guessed what Chazz wanted to do.

Because Chazz used similar moves in the manga.

"Every time I pay 500 life points, Light and Darkness Dragon's attack power also drops by 500.

This cycle will continue until Light and Darkness Dragon's attack power cannot drop by 500 anymore."

【Chazz, LP100】

【Light and Darkness Dragon, ATK 400】

"Voluntarily lowering life points to such a value like a candle in the wind." Syrus murmured, "And Light and Darkness Dragon has also become weak and unable to use effects anymore..."

Is this self-abandonment?

Chazz's operation paused briefly, and he looked up at the Light and Darkness Dragon that seemed to have experienced vicissitudes and was already extremely exhausted.

"The current Light and Darkness is simply like me not long ago." Chazz suddenly muttered to himself, "Suffered the biggest blow in life, fell from the very top, fell covered in bruises, dying...

But!"

His tone changed, and he shouted sharply.

"Even if it is an endless hell, even if I have to crawl, I have to crawl back!

And all the pain and suffering, all that can't knock me down, will only make me stronger, just like this Light and Darkness Dragon!"

Chazz raised his volume, and at the same time raised his hand to flip over the last trap.

"Watch closely Fujiki You Xuan, this is the obsession of the loser! Trap card 'Curse of the Tyrant'!

Until the end of the turn, all attack and defense reduction effects become opposite!

At this time, Light and Darkness Dragon's attack power only has 400 left, and it cannot continue to drop, so it does not meet the activation conditions, so the effect of 'Curse of the Tyrant' passes and will not be invalidated by Light and Darkness Dragon.

And after the effect is processed, Light and Darkness Dragon's attack and defense are added to the part reduced by its own effect on the original basis!"

【Light and Darkness Dragon, ATK 400/DEF 800 → ATK 4400/DEF 4800】

"Nani!?"

The whole audience was shocked again.

Actually used such a combination to rush to four thousand attack and defense in one breath?

"Not only that, but in this way, Light and Darkness Dragon's effect is also resurrected!" Bastion breathed rapidly, "4400 attack power, which means Light and Darkness Dragon's effect is enough to be activated eight more times, and can invalidate magic, trap, and monster effects eight times!"

"And because 'Dragon's Rage' is on the field, Light and Darkness Dragon's attack will be given a piercing effect." Alexis also said with a solemn expression, "If Ojama King, whose defense is 0, is attacked..."

"OOTK!?" Syrus was stunned.

Jaden continued to be excited: "What a handsome combination! What a powerful duel!"

"Go, Light and Darkness Dragon, take the victory for me!" Chazz shouted, "Attack 'Ojama King'! Smash that kind of low-class monster!"

Light and dark breath, as if to blast through space! The sky seemed to be torn apart, the earth was trembling, and the light and dark breath was about to annihilate everything!

"This is, everything I have after returning from hell!" Chazz stepped forward unconsciously, "All the mountains that once stood in front of me, I will shatter them with this power!"

"Well, it's a good thing for young people to have ambitions."

Fujiki You Xuan nodded and said.

"But a duel that is too immersed in one's own world is always inevitable to have flaws."

"What?" Chazz frowned.

"Activate face-down card, Quick-Play Magic 'Very Hungry'." Fujiki You Xuan said, "Send magic and traps on your field to the graveyard, and recover 1000 life points for each one."

"Want to recover life points to block this strike? But this effect will also be invalidated by 'Light and Darkness Dragon'!" Chazz shouted, "Light and Darkness Dragon, reduce attack and defense by 500 points, invalidate the activation of 'Very Hungry'!"

【Light and Darkness Dragon, ATK 4400/DEF 4800 → ATK 3900/DEF 4300】

"Of course it will be invalidated. But just like you used 'Mini Courage' to break the Cyber LOCK, the only thing invalidated is the effect of the card, but the activation cost of the card cannot be invalidated."

Fujiki You Xuan said.

"'Send any number of magic and traps on the field to the graveyard', this is the activation cost of 'Very Hungry', not an effect. Therefore, I send the Field Magic 'Ojamagic' to the graveyard.

The attack and defense of all monsters on the field are swapped back!"

【Light and Darkness Dragon ATK 3900 → ATK 4300】

【Ojama King, DEF 0 → DEF 3000】

"Uh, used the card's activation cost to send the field to the graveyard..." Chazz snorted.

"It's not just you who can utilize activation costs." Fujiki You Xuan smiled.

"But even so, it's just offsetting part of the damage. The effect of Very Hungry is invalidated, and your LP cannot be recovered.

Under the effect of 'Dragon's Rage', you still have to bear the piercing damage of the part where the attack power exceeds the defense power..."

"Don't be in a hurry, why do you think I have to specifically wait until the moment you declare an attack to activate 'Very Hungry'?" Fujiki You Xuan smiled.

Chazz's pupils contracted, and he immediately thought of the means by which Light and Darkness Dragon was solved in the previous turn.

In the same chain, Light and Darkness Dragon can only invalidate one card effect...

"Could it be that you..."

"Not bad, still at the time of attack declaration, activate face-down card!" Fujiki You Xuan said, "Trap card - D2 Shield!

Choose a face-up defense position monster on your field, and that monster's defense power becomes twice its original defense power!"

Chazz's eyes widened instantly.

Twice the original defense power, wouldn't that be...

【Ojama King, DEF 3000 → DEF 6000】

"6000 defense!?"

Watching Ojama King's body size expand rapidly in his field of vision to more than twice its size, like a white mountain that couldn't see the top, Chazz was stunned.

No... no way?

He had walked to this step, had performed to this level, in the end, he still couldn't pass an Ojama?

Ojama Ojama...

Chazz cried with a sad face.

He felt that he would never be able to walk out of the shadow of Ojama in his life...

"Ojama!"

Ojama King shouted, slapped the holy dragon breath of Light and Darkness Dragon back along the original path, and it exploded on the spot with a bang.

【Chazz, LP100 → LP0】
