Chapter 366

Call of the Haunted, Wang Hu, revive!

"What a pity, it looks like my Wang Hu is still on the field."

The black-clad rider laughs triumphantly.

"If you want to break through Wang Hu's blockade, you still have to work twice as hard. Heh, but being able to do this much is considered not bad, much stronger than those duelists before."

His voice lowers, and he chuckles gloomily.

"It makes one more and more unable to resist wanting to savor your taste. The more excellent the duelist, the more mellow the taste..."

Only then does the Rock Hero realize something, and his pupils can't help but shrink: "You... Yoshiki and Kotaro, were they both..."

"Oh, are you also a companion of those two people before?"

Only then does the black-clad rider look at him lazily, then chuckles lightly.

"Yeah, I solved them both personally. The taste can only be considered okay, not a top-tier master. But after all, in such a small place, one can't ask for too much..."

As he speaks, he casts a playful chuckle.

"But those two guys were also quite interesting, saying things like 'I can't fall here' and 'I made a promise with so-and-so' until the very end."

"Hahaha, it was indeed extremely interesting. A duelist fighting with all their might until the last moment, struggling desperately, burning their soul to the extreme, that is the most delicious bait..."

The veins on the back of the Rock Hero's hand gripping the handle bulge, and his eyes staring at the rider seem to be spitting fire.

"You bastard..."

"Hahaha, very good, that's it, keep it up," the black-clad rider laughs. "It's only interesting to defeat someone with that kind of momentum."

"Very good, very good. But don't be in a hurry, I'll finish enjoying the finest bait before I deal with you; as for you... your momentum is quite good, but at best you're just an after-dinner dessert."

As he speaks, his attention returns to Fujiki You Xuan, and he waves his hand.

"Wang Hu's direct attack!"

Wang Hu, running beside his motorcycle, turns around and lunges toward the front of Fujiki You Xuan's motorcycle.

"Then activate Trap."

Fujiki You Xuan's last set card on his side also flips open.

"Trap card 'Precision Defense'."

"When the opponent's monster declares an attack, Special Summon a monster of level 4 or lower from your Graveyard."

A card from Fujiki You Xuan's Graveyard exits.

"This card sent to the Graveyard by 'Sixth Sense' just now, 'Blazing Inpachi', Special Summon in defense position."

A ball of fire churns on his field, silver hair fluttering, and the girl wrapped in flames crouches down to defend on his field.

【Blazing Inpachi, DEF 1500】

"Useless!" The black-clad rider says loudly. "Blazing Inpachi's original attack points are only 1300. Wang Hu's effect, monsters summoned or Special Summoned with 1500 or less attack points are all directly destroyed!"

Wang Hu roars again, and the sonic wave blasts toward Blazing Inpachi.

But only a transparent barrier formed by flames is seen defending in front, and the sonic wave washes over the barrier without dealing any damage.

"What?"

The black-clad rider frowns.

"'Precision Defense' effect. Monsters Special Summoned by this trap will not be destroyed by battle or card effects this turn," Fujiki You Xuan says.

"Oh, so you managed to defend, huh."

The black-clad rider laughs.

"Heh, it seems my judgment of you was indeed correct; you can be considered a top-tier duelist. I can't wait to taste your flavor..."

"Don't speak so quickly," Fujiki You Xuan says calmly. "The duel isn't over yet."

"Ha, is that so? But Wang Hu's blockade is always in effect; if you want to summon a 4-star monster, you need at least 2200 or more attack points to not be destroyed."

"You can barely even summon a monster; do you still want to win in this situation?"

"Well, who knows about dueling?"

Fujiki You Xuan slightly adjusts his direction, and the motorcycle nimbly weaves through several zombies baring their fangs and brandishing their claws toward this side.

"The power station is almost here!"

The Rock Hero shouts.

"Less than a minute left!"

"Okay, then I'll solve this guy in one minute." Fujiki You Xuan nods. "My turn, draw."

"Ha?"

The black-clad rider can't help but turn his head to look at him.

Even the burly Rock Hero, as a teammate, is taken aback.

Solve it in one minute?

With Wang Hu on the field and the double suppression of Pain of Choice, is it really possible to do it in such a situation?

"Activate Spell card 'Foolish Burial' to send a monster from the deck to the Graveyard."

Fujiki You Xuan draws a card that automatically pops out of his deck.

"Send the second 'Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest' from the deck to the Graveyard."

The Monster card slides into the Graveyard zone along the Duel Disk.

"Then activate Spell card 'Monster Reborn'."

A green rebirth symbol appears above Fujiki You Xuan.

"Can revive a monster from the Graveyard."

"The strongest monster in your Graveyard is only 'Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest'," the black-clad rider says. "But even if you revive Green Baboon, its original 2600 attack points will drop to 1200, and it will be destroyed by Wang Hu's effect."

"No, what I want to revive is another card discarded by the effect of 'Sixth Sense'."

Fujiki You Xuan reveals the card that exited the Graveyard.

"Special Summon 'Ancient Crimson Ape'."

【Ancient Crimson Ape, ATK 2600】

The black-clad rider doesn't understand his intention, but still says: "But Ancient Crimson Ape is also a 7-star monster. The effect of two 'Pain of Choice', decrease by 1400 attack points."

【Ancient Crimson Ape ATK 2600 -> ATK 1200】

He then laughs evilly: "Although I don't know what you want to do, this attack power can't pass Wang Hu's seal either. Get destroyed!"

Wang Hu roars, and the transparent sonic wave sweeps toward Fujiki You Xuan's field.

"Then chain to Wang Hu's effect, activate Quick-Play Spell 'Concentrated Current'," Fujiki You Xuan says. "Select a monster on your field, its attack points increase by the value of its own defense points until the end of the turn."

"But as a cost, other monsters on your field cannot attack this turn."

He points to Ancient Crimson Ape.

"Ancient Crimson Ape gains attack points equal to its own defense points, 1800 points."

【Ancient Crimson Ape, ATK 1200 -> ATK 3000】

"When Wang Hu's effect is processed, monsters with 1400 or more attack points will not be destroyed," the black-clad rider says calmly. "I see, so there's this move."

"Using this method to temporarily protect the monster can indeed break Wang Hu. But it will fall back to 1200 attack points at the end of the turn..."

"No, this turn will not end," Fujiki You Xuan chuckles. "I said it, solve it within a minute, right?"

"What?"

The black-clad rider frowns.

It's already not easy to break through from this situation; does he still want to cut off his remaining 3800 life points in one go in such a turn?

Where does this confidence come from?

"Normal Summon 'Ojama Yellow'."

Fujiki You Xuan plays the card in his hand.

【Ojama Yellow, ATK 0】

"Pfft, you talk big, but in the end, you can only summon such a monster?"

The black-clad rider sneers, then waves his hand.

"This kind of small fry doesn't even have a chance to fight on the field. Wang Hu's effect, crush it directly for me."

Wang Hu roars like a king again, the sonic wave sweeps across the field, and Ojama Yellow is shattered before it can even stand firm.

"But 'Ojama Yellow' is a Beast-type monster," Fujiki You Xuan says. "When a Beast-type monster on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, the effect of 'Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest' in the Graveyard."

"Pay 1000 life points, Special Summon itself."

【Fujiki You Xuan, LP 2300 -> LP 1300】

"'Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest' revived!"

"What are you doing?" The black-clad rider doesn't get it. "Even if you revive Green Baboon, it will still be decreased to 1200 attack points by 'Pain of Choice', and then destroyed by Wang Hu's effect."

"Doing this is just wasting life points in vain..."

"Not really," Fujiki You Xuan says calmly. "'Ancient Crimson Ape's effect, when a monster on my field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, I recover 1000 life points."

【Fujiki You Xuan, LP 1300 -> LP 2300】

"Even so, it's just returning to the original state," the black-clad rider says coldly. "It's still meaningless."

"Is that really so?"

Fujiki You Xuan smiles.

"Then what if we add this card?"

"Hmm?"

Fujiki You Xuan points to the girl on his field.

"'Blazing Inpachi's effect. Each time my life points are recovered, deal 500 damage to the opponent."

Blazing Inpachi gives a clear shout, silver hair fluttering, and fireballs are launched from her hands, hitting the black motorcycle galloping in front; the whirlwind of flames rolls over the black-clad rider.

【Black-clad rider, LP 3800 -> LP 3300】

"Heh, going to such great lengths just for 500 damage." He remains disdainful. "But immediately after, your Green Baboon will be destroyed..."

But just as he said this, he pauses abruptly, as if thinking of some terrifying fact.

【Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest, ATK 2600 -> ATK 1200】

Just after landing, it is immediately suppressed by the spell effect; wrapped in dark red energy, Green Baboon wails in pain, and then shatters in Wang Hu's roar.

"Of course, when Green Baboon is successfully summoned, its attack points will be immediately decreased by 'Pain of Choice', and then it will be destroyed by itself."

Fujiki You Xuan smiles.

"But you should remember, right? That card I sent from the deck to the Graveyard at the beginning of this turn?"

The black-clad rider is stunned: "That Green Baboon of yours... could it be..."

"Not bad, the second 'Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest', when a Beast-type monster on my field is destroyed, pay 1000 life points to Special Summon from the Graveyard."

【Fujiki You Xuan, LP 2300 -> LP 1300】

"Of course, because a monster on my field was destroyed, I recover 1000 life points due to Ancient Crimson Ape's effect."

【Fujiki You Xuan, LP 1300 -> LP 2300】

"Then because my life points were recovered, Blazing Inpachi's effect," Fujiki You Xuan smiles and waves his hand lightly. "500 damage."

A fireball is launched from Blazing Inpachi's hands, just like a laser cannon fired from his galloping motorcycle, blasting fiercely at the rider's motorcycle.

【Black-clad rider, LP 3300 -> LP 2800】

"Ugh..."

He tries hard to stabilize his motorcycle, but he is already sweating profusely and can no longer say things like "a mere 500 damage."

Even if he were slow, he should realize what he is facing.

This is...

Infinite LOOP!

The Rock Hero on the side has also understood it by now, his mouth slightly agape, looking a bit stunned.

Facing the opponent's Wang Hu suppression, he even went on to utilize the opponent's summon blockade to form this self-contained cycle...

"Wang Hu" and "Pain of Choice," which looked like fierce monsters in his eyes last turn, now look like internal traitors...

Looking at Fujiki You Xuan again, he suddenly feels that the other's calm posture is simply as if saying—

—Joke, playing shady with me?

You're about twenty thousand years too early.

"Not bad, every time 'Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest' is destroyed, the other Green Baboon in the Graveyard is Special Summoned by paying 1000 life points. And every time a Special Summon is successful, 'Pain of Choice' will decrease its attack points, and 'Wang Hu' will destroy it."

Fujiki You Xuan explains calmly.

"The two Green Baboons can cycle infinitely."

"And in each cycle, when Green Baboon is destroyed, I will recover 1000 life points due to 'Ancient Crimson Ape's effect, and at the same time, you will take 500 damage due to 'Blazing Inpachi's effect, endlessly."

"The end of the cycle, the damage you have to take is..."

Blazing Inpachi raises her staff high, as if all the fire elements in the universe are attracted from the void, gathering in her hands into an unprecedentedly dazzling super-giant fireball.

The burning fireball is reflected on the windshield of the black-clad rider's helmet, and he can't help but grit his teeth: "In-infinite..."

"Congratulations, you got it right."

Fujiki You Xuan smiles and waves his hand lightly.

"Reward: one infinite fireball."

Blazing Inpachi's staff falls, the fireball is like a scorching sun, crushing toward the tiny black motorcycle with the momentum of a Spirit Bomb.

【Black-clad rider, LP 0】
