Chapter 674: Solar Eclipse

Clearly, he had defeated the opponent's monster, but his own monster zone had actually sprouted. Mr. T's face changed slightly, and for a moment, he didn't know what kind of weirdness this was.

"Continuous Trap 'Cursed Ivy,' another effect," Fujiki You Xuan said. "When this card on the field is sent to the graveyard, special summon two 'Ivy Tokens' on the opponent's field in defense position.

And, when the Ivy Tokens special summoned by this effect are destroyed, the controller of the tokens takes 300 points of damage."

Mr. T looked with disgust at the plants that had taken root and drilled out on his field. Two small plants stood crookedly on his field, three lonely green leaves, looking like some kind of clover.

【Ivy Token, DEF 0】 x2

"Actually leaving such redundant monsters on my field," Mr. T snorted. "Then set a card, turn end."

Mr. T waved his hand, and a set card appeared in the back row, ending the turn.

Fujiki You Xuan said: "My turn, draw card."

Fujiki You Xuan pinched a Magic Card with two fingers and showed it.

"Magic Card 'Adversity Treasure.' When the opponent has special summoned monsters on the field and I have no monsters on the field, draw two cards from the deck." (Original card)

Fujiki You Xuan drew two cards, and after glancing at them, he didn't add them to his hand, but immediately flipped one of them to show it.

"Magic Card 'Burial Goods Treasure.' Banish three Magic Cards from the graveyard, and you can draw two cards from the deck.

I banish the Magic Cards 'Adversity Treasure,' 'Graceful Charity,' and 'Premature Burial' from the graveyard, and draw two cards."

Fujiki You Xuan drew two more cards.

Replenishing his hand in one breath, Fujiki You Xuan then inserted another Magic Card into the slot.

"Activate Continuous Magic 'World Tree'."

Although it was a Continuous Magic, it had the effect and movement of a Field Magic when activated. The entire ground where both sides were located trembled, and a towering ancient tree rose from the ground.

The thick trunk, lush green leaves, like a huge emerald umbrella covering the sky, cast a large circular shadow on the ground.

"When World Tree exists on the field, every time a Plant-type monster on the field is destroyed, place a 'Flower Counter' on this card."

Fujiki You Xuan didn't explain further, but Mr. T had already paid attention to this giant tree.

Although it seemed useless now, this card was undoubtedly a card that could exert different uses by accumulating counters, and it should be exclusive to Plant-types. It might be unexpectedly tricky.

Fujiki You Xuan said: "And the 'Copy Plant' destroyed by you last turn also has special abilities.

When Copy Plant exists in the graveyard, once per turn, by sending any Plant-type monster other than 'Copy Plant' from your hand or face-up monsters on the field to the graveyard, this card can be special summoned from the graveyard."

Fujiki You Xuan stuffed a card from his hand into the graveyard.

"I send a Plant-type monster from my hand to the graveyard, and revive 'Copy Plant' from the graveyard!"

Although it was once per turn, it could be considered to have the ability of infinite regeneration. The demonic plant warrior with a carrot forehead and a body full of carrots soon returned from the graveyard to the field, and the carrots on its hands even slammed into each other, as if it were rubbing its hands.

【Copy Plant, ATK 1900】

"Then use 'Copy Plant' as an offering, Tribute Summon, Level 6—

—Rose Vine!"

Thorns danced, and petals that looked like they were soaked in blood bloomed. At the stem, there actually seemed to be a pair of red demonic eyes, and the thorns flying everywhere were its deadly tentacles. 【Rose Vine, ATK 2200】

"Summoned a high-level plant, huh," Mr. T said disdainfully. "But this kind of plant is still no match for Jin Gang."

"Don't be in a hurry."

Fujiki You Xuan casually showed a card from his hand.

"Activate Equip Magic 'Guardian's Power,' equip it to Rose Vine."

A layer of pale golden energy covered the rose plant like a close-fitting barrier, like some kind of protective force field.

"The monster equipped with Guardian's Power gains a magic counter every time it battles," Fujiki You Xuan said. "The equipped monster's ATK increases by 500 points for each counter.

And when the equipped monster is destroyed by battle or effect, you can remove a magic counter from Guardian's Power as a substitute."

Mr. T said: "So that's it. It gains counters every time it battles, and every time it's destroyed in battle, it can remove a counter to substitute. In this way, even if the ATK is still not as good as Jin Gang, at least it's invincible."

"Haha, although that's the case, I don't intend to use such a gentle tactic," Fujiki You Xuan smiled. "The effect of Rose Vine is that when your Battle Phase begins, if there are face-up Plant-type monsters on the opponent's field, then this card can add attacks equal to the number of those Plant-type monsters in addition to normal attacks."

(Note: Read every word!)

Mr. T frowned: "So that's it, that's why you specially special summoned tokens on my field..."

"Not bad, the two Ivy Tokens on your field are both Plant-types, so Rose Vine adds two attacks, and can attack a total of three times this turn," Fujiki You Xuan said.

Mr. T said: "And Rose Vine is equipped with Guardian's Power, and its ATK increases by 500 points every time it battles..."

In other words, after defeating the first Ivy Token, the ATK will increase by 500. After defeating the second, the ATK will increase by 1000. In this way, when the third attack locks onto Jin Gang, the ATK will increase by 1500. At this time, Rose Vine's ATK has already reached 3700, completely crushing Jin Gang.

In addition, Ivy Tokens will also deal 300 points of damage to the controller when destroyed. If there are two tokens, a total of an additional 600 points of damage will be added.

"That's a terrible combination," Mr. T pushed up his glasses. "Multiple attacks, accumulating ATK for the monster while dealing effect damage, and being able to use magic counters to substitute for destruction multiple times..."

Mr. T pushed up his glasses frame and suddenly smiled.

"Well, even with such a powerful combination, there are still obvious flaws. For example, this move..."

As he said this, he waved his hand, and the set card in the back row suddenly flipped over.

"Quick-Play Magic 'Book of Eclipse'!"

A magic similar to Book of Moon, but unlike the light blue and quiet style of Book of Moon, this book had a red cover, and what was depicted in the center was the sun being obscured during the total solar eclipse.

"Book of Eclipse, change all face-up monsters on the field to face-down defense position!" Mr. T said. "It's not battle destruction, nor is it effect destruction, so even Guardian's Power can't make your monster immune to the effect.

And, when the equipped monster is changed to face-down state, according to the game rules, the corresponding equipment on the monster must be destroyed."

He pointed to the Magic Card in Fujiki You Xuan's back row.

"Guardian's Power, be destroyed for me!"
