Chapter 88 Card Cutting (Scraping) Search
Looking at the monster on the opposite side that had been sent to the graveyard, Kali Nagisa said in a somewhat incomprehensible way: "Hey, sending cards to the graveyard, isn't this accumulating resources for the opponent?"
Although she lacks duel experience, Kali Nagisa still understands the benefits of stacking graveyards. Not to mention the existence of some graveyards, some high-star monsters without resurrection restrictions can be easily put on the field through cards such as [Call of the Living Dead] after being sent to the graveyard.
Are you sure that the opponent's operation just now is not to aid the enemy?
"That being said, there is also a tactic called [Deck Destruction]." Hearing Kali Nagisa's doubts, Jack explained: "When there are no cards to draw in the deck, the duel will be automatically judged as lost. Some duelists will rely on this to build a deck to win the duel."
Unlike Yusei's deck, Jack's deck is a standard 40-card construction. Excluding the 6 cards drawn, the retrieved [Creator of Resonance], and the 5 cards sent to the graveyard, there are still 28 cards in the deck now.
Although Jack lost 5 cards to the opponent at once, he was relieved. The unknown is always more threatening than the known. As long as you know the opponent's tactics, you can counter it.
Coincidentally, this card-cutting tactic is restrained by his own strong attack flow. As long as he defeats the opponent in one go and does not prolong the round, he will definitely win in the end.
"Go, [Red Lotus Dragon], attack the enemy directly..."
"Hey, don't be so impatient..." Just before Jack was about to attack, the other party raised his hand and interrupted Jack with a sly smile: "I still have something to say about the Dark Game!"
Raising his right hand, "Johnny" put his index finger and thumb together and gestured to Jack: "In the Dark Game, both of us have some insignificant rights, such as increasing the proportion of damage I receive. In other words, you will spit blood at most if you receive 1,000 damage, but I will lose my hands and feet!"
"How about it, I take the initiative to provide you with favorable conditions, I am very generous!" "Johnny" smiled and opened his hands, saying: "Since you already know, then attack quickly!"
"You bastard!" As a participant in the Dark Game, Jack certainly knew that what the other party said was true. Just like you can cover your cards and admit defeat in an ordinary duel, you can also use this method to achieve indirect suicide in the Dark Game.
Because it has no substantial impact on the opponent, the rigid Dark Game will not interfere with such behavior.
The attack power of [Red Lotus Dragon] is as high as 3000. If it attacks directly, Johnny's body... Thinking of this, Jack gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "[Red Lotus Dragon]...do not attack, enter the main stage 2."
"What?!" Hearing Jack's words, Kali Nagisa widened her eyes in surprise and hurriedly said: "No, Jack, if the battle cannot be ended immediately, the damage to the materialization will be too much, Jack, your body..."
"What's your name?" Ignoring Kali Nagisa's persuasion, Jack lowered his head and asked himself.
Hearing Jack's words, Kali Nagisa was stunned for a moment, and then stammered: "You, just call me Kali!"
"Okay, Kali." Jack raised his head and stared at his opponent, "Johnny" who was originally his fan, and asked: "In the battle of the lucky cup, I lost to Yusei, am I still the king?"
Hearing Jack's question, Kali Nagisa nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said eagerly: "Jack, even if you fail, you are still the king, I always believe it!"
"Humph!" Although he seemed dissatisfied because Kali Nagisa mentioned his scar, Jack's mouth corners slightly curled up: "Since you are the king, how can you attack the king's followers? Kali, end the battle phase!"
"But, but..." Although she was confused by Jack's logic, Kali Nagisa wanted to say something, but was soon interrupted by another sentence from Jack.
"Carly, end the battle phase!"
"Yes!"
Closing her eyes, Carly chose to trust Jack wholeheartedly. She suppressed her worries and pressed the button that represented the entry into the main phase 2.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that the original owner of this body has a good relationship with you. I really made the right choice!" When Jack and Carly discussed before, this enemy remained silent. Until the two made a decision, he jumped out and said some trash talk, trying to interfere with Jack's thoughts.
Facing the enemy's ridicule, Jack's face revealed a trace of contempt: "You guys who can only play tricks outside the board, do you think you can defeat me like this? You are wishful thinking! I cover two cards, and the turn ends!"
"Then, before your turn ends, I will activate this card, [Explosion Ambush]!" When Jack declared the end of his turn, "Johnny" pressed the activation button of the duel board cover card in time, and a cover card that had been silent for a long time revealed its true face.
"[Explosion Ambush], the effect of this card is to pay 2000 life points and select a monster from your graveyard to summon it in face-down defense position. Of course, I chose the only monster card in my graveyard, [Needleworm]!"
In order to activate this trap card, the life that really represents life in the dark game dropped rapidly like pouring water, and soon dropped to 2000.
"Johnny" didn't seem to have any problems with his body, but he was panting heavily with his hands on his knees, and the marks on his arms were flickering.
Since the opponent doesn't dare to attack anyway, it doesn't matter if some life points are wasted. With this thought in mind, "Johnny" activated this trap card with a high cost, but he didn't expect that some of his reactions at this moment were seen by Jack who was observing carefully.
That mark... The damage caused by battle or effect can be borne by Johnny's body, but the rest of the LP increase and decrease must be borne by the main body? Observing the opponent's actions, Jack made a reasonable inference.
In addition to damage, other effects that can change life points... Jack's mind seemed to be struck by lightning, illuminating the way to victory. There is a card that changes life points in his deck. Whether he can use it is the key to the victory of this duel!
"Then, at the end of the turn, the forced effect of [Crimson Dragon] will be activated, destroying all monsters on your field that have not declared an attack this turn except this card. Since [Dragon] has already attacked, it will not be destroyed!"
Jack's hand card: 2 ([Creator Resonator])
Front field: [Crimson Dragon] [Dragon]
Back field: Face-up card x2
"Then it's my turn!" He suddenly pulled out the top card of the deck, and "Johnny" grinned: "Watch your deck being whittled down slowly, and then fall into defeat because you have no cards to draw!"
"I'm going to reverse summon [Needleworm] on the field!" The face-up card was opened, and the caterpillar with sharp horns appeared again. With "Johnny"'s commentary, its effect was activated: "Send the top 5 cards of your deck to the graveyard again!"
Like a wave merging into the sea, Kali Nagisa had to take out the cards in Jack's deck and reluctantly sent them to the graveyard. Jack took a look at the cards sent to the graveyard, and there was no reversal card.
Number of cards remaining in the deck: 23
"After that, I will Normal Summon [Warm Bug]!" As "Johnny" moved, a reptile with a ball of sparks on its head and a reddish-brown back appeared on "Johnny's" field.
[Warm Bug] [3*/Fire]
[Monster/Effect/Synchronize]
[ATK/DEF: 600/1400]
Seeing this monster, "Johnny" laughed a few times and said, "Don't underestimate it just because it's cute. I'll use it as a target to activate another trap card, [Home Attack]!"
Suddenly, a warrior in armor jumped out of the trap card and chopped [Warm Bug] into pieces with a sword. The flames of [Warm Bug] were wrapped around the sword energy, and it continued to slash towards Jack's deck. Another 5 cards were sent to the graveyard. Until then, "Johnny"'s explanation came late.
"【Main Field Assault】, this card can destroy one of my monsters and send the top two cards of your deck to the graveyard." Taking out 【Warm Bug】 from the graveyard, "Johnny" continued: "I chose to destroy 【Warm Bug】, and when it is destroyed, it can also send three cards of your deck to the graveyard!"
Number of cards remaining in the deck: 17
The number of cards in the deck has decreased again. Kali Nagisa is almost crying in anxiety, but Jack still calmly checks the results of this graveyard pile, and still nothing.
"Tsk, are you still being stubborn?" Seeing Jack's expression without any change, "Johnny" cursed with an ugly face: "Then let you be more desperate!"
"This card in the hand, 【Living Memories Feathered Spirit】, can change itself and one monster on the opponent's field to face-down defense position for special summoning! I choose your 【Crimson Dragon】 and my 【Needle Bug】!"
A girl in white came to the field with a broom. As she waved the broom, 【Crimson Dragon】 and 【Needle Bug】 fell asleep.
[Hagoromo of Living Memories] [2*/Dark]
[Monster/Effect/Adjustment]
[ATK/DEF: 800/0]
Seeing that annoying monster [Needleworm] covering her again, Kali Nagisa turned pale with fear: "What should I do? I have to attack to defeat my opponent, but attacking will trigger the reversal effect of [Needleworm]. What should I do?"
"No need to wait for the next turn!" Even though Kali Nagisa was already panicking, Jack still looked confident. Seeing Jack like this, "Johnny" gritted his teeth and used the last card in his hand: "[Book of the Sun], change [Needleworm] to face-up attack position!"
The orange-red page of the book opened above [Needleworm]'s head, as if it had been awakened to vitality, [Needleworm] woke up again and took away the top 5 cards of Jack's deck.
Number of cards remaining in the deck: 12
The cards in the graveyard are piling up, and Jack is about to lose. However, when he sees the card that appears in the graveyard, Jack smiles confidently. It is really, really buried too deep!
Even though he is in the upper hand now, Johnny's face becomes more and more ugly. Why, why can he smile now that the situation is under control? What is he relying on? !
"I don't know if you can still smile now that all your decks have gone to the graveyard!" "Johnny" said irritably: "I use the 2-star [Feathered Spirit of Living Memories] to adjust the star of the 2-star [Needle Worm]!"
"When the power of darkness gathers, appear and crush the enemy's future! Synchro Summon, [Zumwalt of Darkness]!"
In the dark darkness, a demon wizard in a black robe and holding a human bone staff slowly appeared, revealing a disgusting evil breath.
[Zumwalt of Darkness] [4 stars\/Dark]
[Monster\/Effect\/Synchronize]
[ATK\/DEF: 2000\/1000]
"Enter the battle phase! Attack [Dragon]!"
After receiving the order from the master, [Zumwalt of Darkness] waved the staff in his hand, and a green energy ball slowly condensed into shape, then flew out and hit the [Dragon]. After corroding the [Dragon] with its power, it continued to rush towards Jack.
"Ahhhhh it's coming!" Feeling the wind pressure brought by the continuous advance of the energy ball, Kali Nagisa screamed in fear, and the whole person froze there.
"Idiot!" Cursing secretly, Jack pulled the frightened Kali Nagisa aside, then raised the duel disk to protect his chest, and took the blow firmly.
The monster's attack turned into a shock, hitting Jack's body fiercely. Jack showed a trace of pain, staggered back a few steps, then gritted his teeth and straightened his body.
Jack's LP: 4000→3000
"Jack, are you okay?" Kali Nagisa ran over with a panicked look and supported Jack.
"Humph, how could the king fall under this mere 1000 points of damage!" Although his mouth was still hard, Jack knew that his physical condition was not optimistic now. The injury from the last rollover had not healed completely, and he encountered this attack again. This kind of injury has only occurred once or twice before.
"Activate the effect of [Dark Zumwalt]!" After the only monster destroyed [Dragon] in battle, "Johnny" did not care about Jack's situation and activated the effect of this monster on his own.
"When [Zumwalt of Darkness] destroys the opponent's monster by battle, activate this, and then send the top three cards of your deck to the graveyard!"
Number of cards remaining in the deck: 9
The cards in the deck have decreased again. Now Jack's deck is only a thin layer, which can be picked up with two fingers, but Jack does not feel that he is in trouble at all. Instead, he takes the initiative to taunt: "Is this all you can do?"
"Don't bluff!" "Johnny" said irritably: "Now there are only 9 cards left in your deck, and the [Zumwalt of Darkness] on my field will not be destroyed by battle, and can also increase its attack power to the same as the opponent in battle. You will never be able to defeat me!"
"Are you done?" Jack glanced at the other party coldly: "If you are done, it will be my turn!"
Seeing that the other party looked ugly, but did not make any move, Jack bowed his head and said to Kali Nagisa: "Kali, draw a card!"
