Chapter 83

Shuichi really didn't expect that the opponent would come up with an insecticide spray, and the 'I'm hitting you' open and honest attitude that followed was even more unexpected.

But as a veteran who had been through many battles, Shuichi quickly suppressed the urge to fight physically with his excellent duelist quality and said in a deep voice: "Then, the effect of 'Big Tree Ocean' activates at this moment.

When an Insect-type monster on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, add an Insect-type monster with the same level as the destroyed monster from the deck to the hand."

He pulled out his deck, unfolded it to search, and picked out another card from it to add to his hand.

"The destroyed 'Death Sickle Killer' is Level 8, so I add Level 8 'Demonic Shovel Worm' from the deck to my hand!"

Students under the stage couldn't help but say: "Demonic Shovel Worm, Watanabe's ace!"

"Is it going to appear? It seems Watanabe is really going to get serious..."

Demonic Shovel Worm, Level 8, Attack 2800. It only needs to banish two Insect-type monsters from the Graveyard to be Special Summoned to the field; it is the strongest main force in Shuichi's deck.

"That newcomer seems to have angered Watanabe." A big senior sister hugged her arms and shook her head, "Really an unlucky kid."

No one doubted that Shuichi would be able to jump out his powerful ace with 2800 attack power and launch a fierce attack next turn by banishing two insects in the Graveyard.

Of course, provided that the Shovel Worm was still in his hand next turn.

"Summon 'Don Zaloog'."

【Don Zaloog, Attack 1400】

"Direct attack from Zaloog!"

The one-eyed leader pulled out his revolver, and two shots directly pierced through Shuichi's entire front field, which had no defense.

【Shuichi, LP4000→LP2600】

Shuichi swayed, stabilized his steps after taking the image impact, and seemed to want to maintain the demeanor of an expert: "This degree is simply..."

"Zaloog's effect, when dealing battle damage, I can randomly discard one card from the opponent's hand."

"Nani?"

Shuichi was taken aback and immediately became nervous again.

He now had two cards in his hand, both cards added to his hand through 'Big Tree Ocean'. One was Pinch Hopper, and one was Demonic Shovel Worm—the latter was also the 'Tamashii' (soul) of his deck.

In other words, the probability of his Tamashii being shot dead by this shot was one-half...

"That won't do!" Shuichi shouted, "Open set card! Trap Card - Sixth Sense!

Declare two numbers in the range of 1-6, and the opponent rolls the dice! If the number rolled is any one of the declared numbers, I draw that number of cards from the deck.

If I don't guess right, I send that number of cards from the top of the deck to the Graveyard!"

Just hearing the effect, one knew it was a ten-thousand-year-old forbidden card. If guessed right, draw cards from the deck; if not, dump cards into the Graveyard indiscriminately; a violent trap that earns without losing.

Of course, since this card was released as a physical card by K-sha back then, it already showed that compared to those anime-exclusive draw engines that would never be released unless they were cut into noodles, it immediately seemed a bit inferior.

After all, this thing is a trap and its performance is unstable; in the anime environment where Spell cards that draw three or five cards are rampant, it actually seems just so-so.

Fujiki You Xuan found that he might be a bit 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do'; now seeing the things that were locked in the forbidden card list and worshipped by card players, he had already lost his initial respect.

"I declare numbers five and six!" Shuichi said.

Generally, people would declare these two numbers. Because no matter what number is declared, the probability of guessing right is uniform, but once it hits, the return of these two numbers is the highest.

As long as one of the two numbers hits, it is a success; the probability is one-third, which is not particularly low.

The dice rolled and stopped at the number 5.

"Very good, then I draw five cards!"

Hmm, instantly recovered five cards, but Fujiki You Xuan had long been accustomed to it and was not surprised.

Instantly replenishing five cards, his Tamashii was also mixed in.

The probability instantly became one-seventh.

The gun rang. Don Zaloog pierced through with one shot and left a hole in one of the cards.

"Hahahaha! Didn't hit!"

Shuichi looked up and laughed, not caring at all, and sent the card that was pierced to the Graveyard.

"What a pity, it seems that the Goddess of Luck is on my side today. Next turn I will call my Tamashii, Demonic..."

And at this time, Fujiki You Xuan had already ended the Battle Phase and silently pulled out another card to interrupt his chanting.

"Spell Card 'Confiscation'. Pay 1000 life points, look at the opponent's hand and choose one card to discard."

The senior's hearty laughter stopped abruptly.

【Fujiki You Xuan, LP4000→LP3000】

"Come, senior, look at the cards." Fujiki You Xuan said politely.

Watanabe Shuichi: "."

He gritted his teeth, his facial muscles twitched twice, and then he still revealed his hand with an ugly face.

A difficult expression of his Tamashii being seen through.

"Then please discard your Tamashii, senior." Fujiki You Xuan requested politely.

Shuichi struggled to pull out his beloved ace and threw it into the Graveyard; his slow movements and expression looked like he was constipated.

"However, my turn is not over yet."

Fujiki You Xuan pulled out another card from his hand unhurriedly.

"I want to activate this card from my hand next—

—Continuous Spell - Insect Barrier!

As long as this card exists on the field, all Insect-type monsters on the opponent's field cannot declare an attack!"

Watanabe Shuichi almost sprayed a mouthful of old blood directly.

Even many of the crowd outside the arena couldn't help but gasp in 'Yin' air.

You really didn't intend to let the opponent duel from the beginning, right?

Watanabe Shuichi: "You..."

He now seemed to start to understand why this person would choose himself as the challenge object without hesitation.

Duelist's courage? Guts to challenge the peak?

No, it has nothing to do with that kind of thing at all.

He chose himself simply because he felt he was the easiest to bully!

"Set two more cards on the field, turn end."

Fujiki You Xuan ended his declaration, waited for a while, and seeing no movement, tilted his head and kindly reminded: "It's your turn, eh, senior."

Senior, why don't you draw a card?

Don't you want to draw?

Shuichi gritted his teeth: "My turn..."

He had already started thinking about adding a new rule to the Duel Club in the future.

Not only can students from Osiris Red not submit applications, but dogs can't either.

With the insect barrier set on the opponent's field, his entire deck's offense was locked. Not to mention that he finally set two more cards, plus the one set in the first turn, now the opponent had a total of three sets in the back row.

He didn't have much vigilance against set cards last turn, but now combined with the dueling style the opponent just showed, he didn't even dare to think about what kind of things were set in the back row.

At this time, the one card in his entire deck that could save him from fire and water...

"Draw!"

Filled with full anger, he poured all the impulses of physical dueling into this draw that gambled on the outcome, creating a miracle!

"Spell Card - Harpie's Feather Duster!"

The moment Watanabe Shuichi raised the card, a manic storm rolled up in the whole arena.

"All Spell and Trap cards on both sides of the field are destroyed!"
