Chapter 438: The Strongest Spear and Shield

Quick-Play Magic - Mystical Wok!

"I Tribute 'Orichalcos Kyutora' on my field," the Arbiter shouted, "and recover Life Points equal to Kyutora's ATK!"

Dark red light poured over Kyutora's body. The big eye closed, and it exploded into fragments on the field with a roar of explosion.

【Arbiter, LP9000→LP10000】

But the moment the small spherical body exploded, the massive energy absorbed and stored in it erupted. The blinding light that was almost impossible to look at rose like piercing the sky. A burly and solid green body appeared from the beam, landing majestically on that piece of field.

A huge dark green god puppet, with a face that seemed to have no joy or sorrow, stood silently, and although it had no movement, it naturally exuded a stern pressure.

"Sure enough, it came." Hibiki Midori said in a deep voice. "That monster..."

Orichalcos Shunoros, that terrifying monster.

And this time it was more than that.

Unlike the time when Hibiki Kureha was defeated, this time Shunoros appeared, and even brought two more parts.

I saw the huge green god puppet land, and then its left and right arms clicked twice and actually separated from the god puppet's body. After the arms left the body, they didn't land, but strangely floated in mid-air, floating forward one on the left and one on the right.

Shunoros landed in the back row area of the Orichalcos Barrier, standing in the center of what should have been the Magic/Trap zone. And after his left and right hands separated, they each moved forward, occupying two monster slots in the front row area, separated on the left and right of Shunoros.

Obviously, the meaning is that if you don't defeat these "left and right arms" literally first, you can't attack Shunoros's main body.

"When Orichalcos Kyutora leaves the field, Special Summon these three cards from the deck." The Arbiter said faintly. "Descend."

"Orichalcos Shunoros!"

"Orichalcos Dexia!"

"Orichalcos Alistair!"

Among them, Dexia is Shunoros's right hand, and Alistair is Shunoros's left hand. The left and right arms of this god puppet actually separated and transformed into a monster standing on the field alone.

"Orichalcos Shunoros's ATK is determined by the battle damage absorbed before Kyutora leaves the field, you should know this too." The Arbiter said calmly. "Therefore, now Shunoros's ATK is..."

【Orichalcos Shunoros, ATK? →ATK 18400】

"Under the boost of the Orichalcos Barrier, it increases by another 500 points." The Arbiter said.

【Orichalcos Shunoros, ATK 18400→ATK 18900】

Such terrifying ATK, plus the Barrier's immunity to Magic/Traps...

Is this guy Fujiki You Xuan really okay?

Fujiki You Xuan also frowned slightly.

The opponent actually had his own suicide means, so Shunoros couldn't be prevented from appearing.

"Shunoros's right hand Dexia is the strongest spear. When this card battles a monster, its ATK can become the battling monster's ATK + 300."

"Left hand Alistair is the strongest shield, when attacked by a monster, its DEF will become that monster's ATK + 300!"

"Eh, isn't that invincible?" Judai was surprised.

But Fujiki You Xuan knew that this slippery snake didn't finish speaking. The ATK and DEF of Shunoros's left and right hands cannot be changed to be higher than the opponent's monster forever without limit. The values they change must be deducted from "Orichalcos Shunoros's" ATK after the damage step of the battle ends.

That is to say, their ATK and DEF values cannot exceed Shunoros's ATK. And every time a battle occurs, Shunoros's ATK will decrease accordingly.

Even if Shunoros himself attacks, it is the same.

After Shunoros battles, if it battles an Attack Position monster, it needs to deduct the ATK value of that monster from its own ATK.

If it battles a Defense Position monster, it needs to deduct the DEF value of that monster from its own ATK.

Therefore, Shunoros's ATK looks exaggerated, but it is actually like a one-time battery. As the battle progresses, it will consume energy reserves, and the more battles occur, the lower it will drop.

Of course, the premise is that the opponent can persist long enough in front of such power.

So far, there have been four duelists who have faced this Demon God. Among them, Kaiba and Hibiki Kureha were both defeated in front of that overwhelming power immediately after Shunoros appeared. The only person in history who has ever defeated this Demon God head-on is Atem.

At this time, Fujiki You Xuan is the fourth person.

Mokuba's face was pale: "ATK 18,000, and it's still in the Battle Phase. Fujiki You Xuan has no monsters on the field, and the set cards have been used up. And there is the immunity granted by the third layer of the Barrier..."

Kaiba also frowned and pondered, wondering if he thought of the powerlessness he felt when he faced the same god puppet and fell in a similar situation back then.

Judai Yuki, can you prove once again that you have surpassed me at that time...

The Arbiter raised his hand slightly.

"It's over."

The Arbiter shouted.

"Orichalcos Shunoros, direct attack, Destruction Ring!"

The dark green ring slowly rose from the bottom of Shunoros, and flew out from the top of the god puppet's head. The ring rotated rapidly, like a sharp ring-shaped saw blade, flying and slashing towards Fujiki You Xuan!

Like the great power of a god, even Fujiki You Xuan could feel the breathless pressure circling in his heart. If it weren't for the blessing of the fairy and the power of the artifact, he probably wouldn't be able to stand still.

Indeed, Fujiki You Xuan no longer had a monster that could act as a barrier. If this blow hit, he would probably fall here just like the two people who took this move before him.

Without time to think, he raised his Duel Disk, and a card exited from the Graveyard.

Kuriboh, save me again!

When Kuriboh flew out onto the field, the Arbiter couldn't help but jump his eyebrows.

"Clear Kuriboh? But this guy has already used it..."

"It's the second effect that only makes sense in the Graveyard!" Fujiki You Xuan said. "Clear Kuriboh exists in the Graveyard, when the opponent declares a direct attack, banish this card from the Graveyard, draw a card from the deck."

"If it's a monster, you can Special Summon it, and then the attack target is transferred to that monster!"

"Heh, in the very end, you pinned your hope on an unknown draw?"

The Arbiter sneered.

"That's only if you draw a monster. And, no matter what monster it is, it's useless. In front of Shunoros, any wall can only be shattered."

Fujiki You Xuan didn't answer, just reached out and touched the deck.

This draw must be a monster no matter what.

He also knew that he would definitely draw one.

This is the crystallization of all the results of his training since coming to this world. He fought and learned step by step, and became stronger step by step. This draw will be the proof of all those results.

And it seemed to be just before this draw.

On the inverted triangular golden ornament hanging on his chest, the Eye of Horus suddenly bloomed with dazzling golden light.
