Chapter 88 The Top of the Cards, Proud of the World

[Hayato: 4000LP, 5 cards in hand]

[Hesiod: 4000LP, 5 cards in hand]

"I will get the first strike." Hesiod drew the card first, "Summon [Charging Captain] in defense position, activate his effect, and special summon a monster below level 4 from your hand."

"I special summon another [Charging Captain]."

On Hesiod's field, two "Charging Captains" who looked exactly the same, almost like twins carved from the same mold, appeared with the same movements.

"[Charging Captain] has the effect that when it exists face-up on the field, you cannot attack other Warrior-type monsters, you can only attack it. And now I have two [Charging Captain] on the field. In other words In short, your monster’s attack has been blocked.”

Hesiod proudly stated the effect of his monster, but he seemed to feel that it was not safe. He put another card in his hand on the field and activated it: "But just in case, I still use this card. Activate permanently Continuation of the magic card, [Tripping].”

"As long as this card remains on the field, all summoned, reverse summoned, and special summoned monsters will change to defense position."

"This way, even if you find a way to break the defense of [Charging Captain] on my field, you can't use monsters to attack me directly." Hesiod proudly placed two cards in his hand in the magic trap area, "Ambush two cards, my turn ends."

Hayato: "Then my turn is to draw a card."

I lowered my head and looked at my hand. Well, it was a perfect hand.

After a long absence, Hayato was a little stuck, but it didn't matter. A true duelist could make perfect use of whatever card he drew.

"Activate the effect of [Lava Demon God] in my hand. It can use two monsters on the opponent's field as sacrifices to special summon your field." Drawing out an eight-star treasure, Hayato showed it.

Hesiod seemed to have dueled with Malik frequently, and he actually recognized this card: "What, it's Lord Malik's [Lava Demon God]?"

Standing side by side, the [Charging Captain] was shocked to find that the ground under his feet suddenly experienced a terrifying high temperature. Before the two of them could leave the place, the hot magma spewed out from the ground, killing the two monsters. Swallowed all in.

[Lava Demon God]'s tall body appeared on Hesiod's field, and the iron cage on his chest opened, locking Hesiod himself inside.

"Since you recognize this card, I won't repeat its effect too much. Although I gave you a powerful monster, you don't need to thank me too much." Hayato smiled and pointed at [Lava Demon God], " Due to the effect of [Tripping] activated on your own field, the specially summoned [Lava Demon] will be in defense position."

"Unfortunately, the special summon of [Lava Demon God] needs to occupy my normal summon, so this turn, I can't summon monsters for the time being." Hayato said, pulling out two cards, "covering two cards, my turn Finish."

"Before that, I want to activate the quick-attack magic card I covered!" Hearing Hayato's declaration of the end of the turn, Hesiod immediately said, "[Book of the Moon] can designate a face-up monster to become a face-up monster. In side guard position, the monster I chose is of course [Lava Demon]."

"I have suffered from this monster's effect more than once. As long as it is flipped over, even [Lava Demon] cannot activate its effect to cause damage to me."

"Hey, as expected, there is no such thing as a single move that can be eaten all over the place in Duel Monsters."

[Hayato: 4000LP, 3 cards in hand]

【Gate Card】X2

"Then my turn is to draw a card!"

After Hesiod drew a card, he activated it on the field: "The Continuous Magic Card [Card Merchant] is activated. During the preparation phase of each of my subsequent turns, I can put a card from my hand back into the deck. Hit and then draw a new card.”

In Hesiod's backcourt, a businessman wearing a black robe, a black hat, and a mask on half his face appeared. He was carrying a large package with him. It was obvious that he was a very wealthy guy. It's just that due to the hasty appearance, the [Card Merchant] needs to sort out the goods, and is currently unable to trade with Hesiod.

"Then, since the preparation phase has passed, I flip-summoned the [Lava Demon God] in defense position on the inside side of the field."

"The blood-burning damage has been avoided, but don't forget that due to the effect of your own [Tripping], the [Lava Demon God] that was reverse-summoned back to the face-up position still has to be put into defense position, even if it is Even if you attack me, you have to wait until the next round." Hayato said calmly.

"Don't be so absolute in advance, Duel King. I have already considered the situation where my monster will be in defense position due to [Tripping]. Although, [Lava Demon] was unexpected." Hersey Oder activated the cover card he had placed on the field before, "Quick Attack Magic Card [Defense Penalty]!"

"Activate by targeting a monster on the field. This turn, if the target monster is in defense position, I can draw a card from the deck."

After pulling out the card, Hesiod said with a proud face: "Don't forget that I haven't done a normal summon this round yet, Duel King. Use [Lava Demon God], which has no use value left on the field, as a Sacrifice for superior summoning!”

"Summon [Absolute Defense General] in defense position!"

Not even a trace of damage could be left behind. The [Lava Demon God] that Hayato "gave" to Hesiod turned into star points and disappeared from the field. It was replaced by a man with a heavy armor and a huge sword on his back, even if he had strong muscles. A majestic general who was weighed down to a sluggish pace.

【1550/2500】

"Due to its own effect, [Absolute Defense General] will change into defense position when the summon or reverse summon is successful, so the effect of [Tripping] will become even less effective, not to mention that I directly used it Summoned by defense."

Hesiod threw the [Lava Demon God] card back to Hayato and said proudly, "Also, despite the appearance of [Absolute Defense General], which looks a little difficult to move, this is just to fight more effectively. , he is very strong."

"I don't think you can fight in that turtle shell." Hayato complained, sending the [Lava Demon God] card to his graveyard, "Because you liberated the gift I gave you. Okay, I'm a little angry now."

"Because you summoned [Absolute Defense General] with an attack power of 1550, and chained its summons, the trap card in my backfield was activated, [Naraku's Cave]! The attack power of your special summon was above 1500 points. All monsters are destroyed and removed from the game!"

"Speaking of which, I won this [Naraku's Hole] from that bastard Feather Moth. The fact that he would actually join your Gurus was something I never expected. However, it was his own fault for his death."

"As I said, I don't know anyone from Gurus, King of Duels." Hesiod said pretentiously.

"Haha, I will listen carefully." Hayato glanced at the calm-looking Hesiod, raised his finger and pointed at the [Absolute Defense General] on his field, and said sternly, "Fall into bottomless despair, [Absolute Defense General]!"

On Hesiod's field, the ground under the feet of [Absolute Defense General] began to collapse, revealing a bottomless pit. An invisible suction wrapped around [Absolute Defense General], as if it was being dragged into the pit. Zhongbian vowed not to give up.

"It's not that easy! I activate the quick-attack magic card [Forbidden Cloth] in my hand, and before the end of the round, I will reduce the attack power of [Absolute Defense General] by 600 points, so that it will not be destroyed by the effect!" Hesiod played the last card in his hand, "You cannot control my monster. Even if it is sent to the graveyard, it should be my decision!"

The illusory white holy cloth flew out from the card and was gently draped on the body of the [Absolute Defense General] with a resolute face. Although the fabric looked quite thin and weak, the [Forbidden Holy Clothes] actually took effect, completely resisting the pulling force in [Naraku's Cave] until the hole was closed, and the [Absolute Defense General] still stood on the field.

【Absolute Defense General】【1550/2500→950/2500】

"Enter my fighting phase!"

Hesiod waved his hand and pointed at Hayato, who was empty in the front field and without any monsters that could serve as shields: "[Absolute Defense General] can still declare an attack in defense position, and his attack will be used when calculating damage. force value."

"O noble duel king, take this blow from me! The flying swallow returns to its nest!"

The [Absolute Defense General], who seemed to be carrying heavy armor and weapons, received the order from the controller. With a snap, he pulled out one of the two giant swords behind his back and held it in his hand, and attacked Hayato nimbly.

The sensitivity of movement is actually comparable to that of a flexible swallow.

"Because of the [Forbidden Holy Cloth], although the monsters were saved, the attack power was reduced. But even so, I don't even want to take 100 points of damage." Hayato said with a cold and arrogant face, "Don't touch me!"

"The way of cards is proud of the world. With me, Hayato, there will be heaven!"

As he spoke, Hayato played a hand card:

"Hey, my invincible Aibo, street boy!"

[Rainbow Chestnut Ball] stepped on the light screen and accurately blocked the heavy giant sword.
