Chapter 675: Forbidden Chalice

"Effect of Book of Eclipse, cover Rose Vine!"

The red-covered book appeared on the field, and the pages turned slowly. The red sun, gradually devoured by darkness, hung high in the sky, shining down coldly, the light and shadow showing a bit of eerie gloom.

Under this devoured black sun, the vine seemed to fall into a deep sleep as if hypnotized, turning into a horizontal monster card and covering it. At the same time, Jin Gang on Mr. T's field also fell asleep, lying on the ground and turning into a set card.

Book of Eclipse not only covered Fujiki You Xuan's Rose Vine to resolve the triple attack, but also covered Jin Gang to prepare for the next round of attacks. Jin Gang's effect when flipped to destroy any two cards on the field was a powerful card-destroying effect equivalent to Gladiator Beast Caesar.

And because Rose Vine was covered, the equipped monster was lost, and the Equip Magic "Guardian's Power" in Fujiki You Xuan's back row also shattered into pieces with a snap.

"Resolving this formation with just one card, not bad. You don't look that bad after all," Fujiki You Xuan smiled.

Mr. T didn't care about his sarcasm and smiled similarly: "Hoh, still have the heart to dig and mock, is this the confidence of a King?"

He wanted to see if this person could still be so calm when pushed to a desperate situation.

"Activate Magic Card 'Heaven and Earth Treasure'," Fujiki You Xuan said. "In the turn that a Tribute Summon was performed, draw two cards from the deck. However, the cards drawn through this effect cannot be used this turn, and if there is a place to set, at least one card must be set on the field." (Original card)

Fujiki You Xuan drew another card from his hand.

"Set another card, turn end."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled and said: "Book of Eclipse, it doesn't just have the effect of covering monsters, right?"

Mr. T snorted and said: "In the End Phase of the turn Book of Eclipse is activated, all face-down monsters on the opponent's field are changed back to face-up defense position. And for every monster that received this effect, the opponent draws a card from the deck."

Fujiki You Xuan only had Rose Vine on his field, so Rose Vine turned from face-down to face-up.

"I draw a card."

Fujiki You Xuan drew another card.

In fact, this card Book of Eclipse also had a famous scene in the card player circle in the previous life. That was in the final of a Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship, after a player used "Book of Eclipse," both players forgot to process the effect of flipping back and the opponent drawing cards in the End Phase.

What's more interesting is that even the referee seemed to have forgotten this, until the two sides had fought for a long time before suddenly remembering that there was such a thing. But because too many turns had passed in the duel, it was unrealistic to roll back, so the two players decided to make a mistake and just fight on.

Although everyone treats the King's "Kouhu" (cheating/misinterpreting rules) as a meme, in fact, "Kouhu" has always been an indispensable traditional skill of Yu-Gi-Oh!, and there have even been cases of "Kouhu" in the World Championship to this day.

The essence of "Kouhu" is nothing more than relying on one's three-inch tongue to convince the opponent. As long as you can make the opponent speechless and believe your words, then the rules are just floating clouds.

There is no lack of "Kouhu" in modern competitions, but the difficulty of "Kouhu" is higher than in the first generation. The "Kouhu" player also needs to be extremely proficient in K-language, and be familiar with the loopholes in the rules and the effect processing that may be controversial.

As long as you can convince both the opponent and the referee at the same time, you are the absolute rule. Although the difficulty is higher, in essence, it is no different from the King's rampant killing in Duel Kingdom in the past.

Mr. T said: "My turn, draw card."

"Activate Magic Card 'Pot of Greed,' draw two cards from the deck."

Mr. T drew a card, then squinted his eyes behind his sunglasses and thought for a while.

Then he said: "Flip the face-down 'Conglomerate Jin Gang' again, change to face-up defense position."

The set monster was flipped over again, and the pitch-black rock giant ape stood up again, roaring twice and slamming its chest with its fists.

【Conglomerate Primate - Giant Conglomerate Jin Gang, ATK 3000】

"When Jin Gang is flipped, destroy up to two cards on the field!"

Mr. T pondered for two seconds, then pointed his finger at Fujiki You Xuan's field.

"Destroy 'Rose Vine' and the Continuous Magic 'World Tree'!"

Fujiki You Xuan only said that World Tree could accumulate counters through monster destruction, but didn't say the specific effect. But he instinctively felt that this card was dangerous, perhaps the key to some combination, and it had to be dealt with first. "Then at this moment, the trap has also been triggered," Fujiki You Xuan said. "Trap Card 'Pan Duola's Treasure'."

The set card in the back row flipped open, and at the same time, the trap weirdly swapped positions with the World Tree targeted by Jin Gang, appearing where Jin Gang's fist wind covered.

"Pan Duola's Treasure, can only be activated when a card in your Magic/Trap zone becomes the target of a card effect," Fujiki You Xuan said. "Transfer that effect's target to this card, and draw two cards from the deck." (Original card)

Jin Gang's mighty fist suddenly missed, and was forcibly transferred to this trap. The punch that was originally aimed at World Tree instantly shattered the trap.

Of course, it also shattered the Rose Vine in the front row.

Fujiki You Xuan said: "I draw two more cards."

At the same time, an indicator light had lit up on World Tree.

"Because a Plant-type monster was destroyed on the field, World Tree gains a 'Flower Counter'."

Failing to blow up the desired target, Mr. T frowned unhappily, but then played another monster card from his hand: "Then activate Magic Card 'Double Attack.'

This card can allow monsters on your field with a lower level than the discarded monster to attack twice in one turn by discarding a monster from your hand."

Mr. T discarded a monster from his hand.

"I discard the 9-star 'Infernal Emperor' from my hand, allowing Conglomerate Jin Gang to attack twice this turn!"

(Note: Read every word!)

Fujiki You Xuan smiled: "Even so, you still prioritize destroying my monsters and Continuous Magic, do you look down on my back-row set cards so much?"

Mr. T snorted coldly: "Because there's no need.

Enter the Battle Phase. And at this moment, I activate this card..."

He raised his hand and played another Magic Card.

"Activate Magic Card 'Forbidden Chalice'!

This card can only be activated at the beginning of the Battle Phase, and no other card effects can be activated in response to this card.

After this card is activated, until the end of the turn, neither player can activate any Magic or Trap cards!"

Fujiki You Xuan understood: "So that's it. No wonder you ignored my set cards in the back row..."

Mr. T showed pride: "Not bad, no matter what you set, it's meaningless. In front of Forbidden Chalice, your set cards are completely useless.

Go, Jin Gang!"

Jin Gang roared, as if responding to its master's command.

"Direct attack on the Duel King!"

Jin Gang's heavy fist came out again, with the wind sound of breaking the air, striking down like a thunderbolt. The forbidden arrows had nailed his remaining set cards in the back row like dense raindrops, pinning them to the ground and unable to move a single bit.

The elegant vampire young lady giggled in Fujiki You Xuan's ear: "Do I have to rely on me again, Master?"

"Hmm, please," Fujiki You Xuan smiled. "I'll reward you well tonight."

As he said this, he had already shown the card in his hand.

"When the opponent declares an attack, special summon 'Vampire Lady' from the hand in defense position."

The pale vampire holding a parasol landed elegantly, yawning lazily.

"Master is really something, really knows how to order people around."

【Vampire Lady, DEF 2000】
