Chapter 796: Chain Card Group

Fujiki You Xuan: "I set one card. End of my turn."

Then he said politely.

"Alright, your turn, Director Warden Ying Qi. I've heard your dueling skills are impressive—don't disappoint me."

Warden Ying Qi grimaced.

He had indeed installed this electric shock mode himself, but he only liked shocking others, not himself.

Normally he would have already cursed loudly and ordered someone to shut down this cursed system. But now, under direct orders from his superior, he dared not curse—he had to grit his teeth, sweat pouring down his face, and force a smile while praising the shock as excellent.

Warden Ying Qi clenched his teeth.

He dared not curse, but since you yourself requested an electric duel, I'll return this pain tenfold through dueling—you can't complain, can you?

"My turn, draw!"

Warden Ying Qi resolved to make this arrogant superior feel the joy of electric shocks too.

"I normally summon 'Chain·Lock Serpent'!"

The summoned monster looked at first glance like a single thick iron chain, but upon closer inspection, the chain itself had a serpentine shape, writhing as its steel tail slammed against the ground, sparking bright flashes.

【Chain·Lock Serpent, ATK 800】

"Chain·Lock Serpent's monster effect!" Warden Ying Qi said. "During my Main Phase, this card can be equipped as an Equip Card to one face-up monster on your field."

"The equipped monster's ATK and DEF decrease by 800."

"Equip 'Chain·Lock Serpent' to 'Seven-Sword Warrior'!"

The Lock Serpent immediately coiled around the Seven-Sword Warrior like a chain, binding his limbs tightly and severely restricting his movement.

【Seven-Sword Warrior, ATK 2300 → ATK 1500】

The watching prisoners burst into boos.

"Damn it, I just summoned a Synchro monster!"

"How dare you attack the superior? Unforgivable!"

The prisoners normally dared not disrespect the director, but now, seizing the chance, they jeered nonstop. Warden Ying Qi's face turned ashen.

These scum always got bold the moment they got the chance. And worse—they were siding with the superior, so he couldn't even speak up.

But he'd remember them. Once this duel ended and the superior left, he'd make each of these bastards pay.

"Using a monster's equip effect to lower ATK—clever tactic," Fujiki You Xuan chuckled. "But at this very moment, the effect of 'Seven-Sword Warrior' has been triggered."

"Once per turn, when an Equip Card is equipped to Seven-Sword Warrior, you take 800 damage."

Warden Ying Qi gasped: "What?!"

Damage upon being equipped? Had he just walked straight into the trap?

Fujiki You Xuan waved his hand lightly: "Seven-Sword Warrior—Seven Stars Sword Slash!"

The Seven-Sword Warrior unleashed a single strike; instantly, another blade of energy slashed across Warden Ying Qi's face. The 3D projection's impact sent his massive frame stumbling backward two steps, followed immediately by another violent electric shock from the dueling pad.

"Ughhhhh—!"

【Warden Ying Qi, LP 3300 → LP 2500】

Warden Ying Qi's body began smoking black, his knees buckled, and he convulsed on the ground, gritting his teeth: "Son of a bitch."

Fujiki You Xuan raised an eyebrow: "Sorry, what did you just say?"

Warden Ying Qi shuddered, quickly lifted his head, and forced a smile uglier than crying, raising his thumb: "I said… the superior is mighty!"

The director stood, adjusted his breathing, and clenched his teeth.

No—this humiliation must be avenged through dueling.

"Attack! Chain·Repairman, attack the Seven-Sword Warrior, whose ATK has been reduced!"

The Repairman swung his massive hammer. The Seven-Sword Warrior, bound by the Lock Serpent's chains, moved sluggishly and couldn't withstand the assault. After just a few exchanges, the Repairman's hammer smashed the warrior's longsword into two pieces, then continued its momentum to crush straight into his chest.

The Seven-Sword Warrior groaned; his golden armor shattered, and he was sent to the graveyard.

【Fujiki You Xuan, LP 4000 → LP 3900】

A mere 100 damage—he accepted it without blinking, as if it were nothing. Even if it were a thousand points, this electric shock, though real damage, was strictly capped below lethal levels. Compared to the dark duels and bloody battles he'd endured before, it was practically a massage—he didn't care at all.

Warden Ying Qi gritted his teeth, silently regretting. Of course—100 damage was too low. It had zero effect.

But his goal wasn't just this little damage.

"At this moment, 'Chain·Lock Serpent's' additional effect activates!"

"When a monster equipped by Lock Serpent is destroyed by battle and sent to the graveyard, send from the top of your opponent's deck a number of cards equal to the destroyed monster's level!"

The already-fallen Lock Serpent transformed into a spectral form and shot forward, biting into Fujiki You Xuan's deck.

"Seven-Sword Warrior's level is seven—so send seven cards from the top of your deck to the graveyard!"

Instantly, seven cards were snatched out by the serpent and tumbled into the graveyard.

In the prison, Budong You Xing said gravely: "This tactic is deck destruction."

His fellow prisoner asked in surprise: "Deck destruction?"

"Yes," Budong You Xing nodded. "When a duelist has no cards left to draw from their deck, they lose by rule. Destroying your opponent's entire deck to leave them with nothing to draw is the tactic of deck destruction."

Sending seven cards to the graveyard at once made Warden Ying Qi feel triumphant—but when he looked at the superior's expression, for some reason, the superior's smile suddenly looked even more chilling.

Why did the superior look almost happy after his deck was destroyed?

Of course, Warden Ying Qi didn't know that in the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! anime history, successful deck destruction tactics were vanishingly rare. The most famous case was probably when Atem destroyed Malik's deck at Duelist Kingdom—using the traitor dragon on Malik's field as a tool.

"My turn, draw."

Fujiki You Xuan drew a card and smiled faintly.

"Deck destruction—quite an imaginative tactic."

"Since you like it so much, I'll help you along."

He revealed his hand.

"Activate the Spell Card 'Takeover5'—send five cards from the top of your deck to the graveyard."

He drew five cards and sent them all tumbling into the graveyard.

Warden Ying Qi was even more shocked.

He knew I was using deck destruction—and yet he's actively helping me accelerate it?

Could it be… the superior is actually a good person? Has he noticed my talent and is using this chance to promote me?

The thought made his heart pound wildly.

"Activate my set card: Trap Card 'Synchro Soul'," Fujiki You Xuan said. "Exclude one Synchro Monster from my graveyard. If all the Synchro Materials used to summon that monster are in my graveyard, I can special summon those materials from the graveyard."

This card was unique to 5D's, frequently used in the anime by many characters. It was never officially released as a real card, but appeared in the Cardfight!! Vanguard game series.

"I exclude 'Seven-Sword Warrior' from my graveyard, and revive the Synchro Materials used to summon it."

"Return to the field—Tuning Monster 'Shoushi Warrior'!"

"And 'Sun God Priest'!"
