Chapter 374 The Path to Victory!

"My turn!"

It was Yusei's turn again. At this time, Zeke waved his hand and said, "At this moment, the effect of the equipment magic-Ring of the Nibelung has been activated!"

As soon as the voice fell, the ring on the hand of the Junk Warrior lit up with golden light. The Junk Warrior half-knelt on the ground, and the electric current jumped out of his body, which seemed to be more strenuous than before.

"Ring of the Nibelung, the monster equipped with it cannot attack, cannot change the form, and the effect is also invalidated. But its controller can draw two cards per turn.

If there is a monster card in the drawn card, you must confirm it to the opponent, and then discard it to the graveyard."

Zeke waved his hand: "Okay, draw the card, you can draw two cards this turn! But if there is a monster card, please show it to me."

Yusei said nothing, drew two cards, glanced at it, and turned one over to show it to the opponent.

"Monster card." Zeke narrowed his eyes and chuckled smugly, "Then please discard it to the graveyard."

Yusei silently sent the card to the graveyard, but then waved his hand: "Open the face card-Reckless Greed. Draw two cards from the deck, and then skip the next two draw phases."

"I see. Indeed, if you draw cards like this, the effect of 'Nibelung Ring' will not be triggered." Zeke shrugged indifferently, "Then you'd better pray that you can draw a useful card."

Yusei still ignored it and continued the main phase. Yusei drew three cards from his hand: "Summon 'Dead Guardian', defense position.

Then face two more cards, the turn is over!"

The white mechanical warrior appeared on Yusei's field and took a defensive posture. At the same time, he also had two more face cards in his backfield, which seemed to be his last line of defense.

[Dead Guardian, Defense 1900]

"I see, this is your last monster?" Zeke chuckled, "Because of the Ring of the Nibelung, you can no longer draw new monsters. In other words, you are at your wits' end.

Of course, it is commendable that you have reached this point. I am really surprised. It seems that you are indeed a first-class duelist... It's just a pity that you met me, Zeke Lloyd.

My turn!"

Zeke drew a card and raised his voice: "Although it is short, let this duel end here! Goddess of War - Sigrun, tear the waste warrior into pieces for me!"

The Valkyrie warrior received the order and charged fearlessly! A purple trail like a meteor was left in the air, and the long sword dragged a silver light and chopped down the suppressed waste warrior.

However, at the moment when the sword was about to come, a white afterimage flashed out and suddenly blocked the waste warrior.

Dead Guardian!

The Valkyrie's sword slashed through the steel body of the Death Guardian, which was blown into countless pieces with a "pop" sound.

"The effect of the Death Guardian." Yusei said, "When the opponent's monster attacks, you can force the attack target to be changed to this card."

Zeke frowned: "A meaningless move..."

"And," Yusei interrupted him, "When the Death Guardian is destroyed by battle and sent to the graveyard, until the end of the turn, the attack power of a monster on the opponent's field will be reduced by 1000 points! I reduce the attack power of the goddess of war-Sigurune!"

A ghostly white beam of light was released from the broken mechanical warrior, wrapping around Sigurune's body like a long ribbon. Sigurune's movements were restrained, and she waved her sword angrily to try to disperse it, but her sword could not reach the light belt at all.

[Goddess of War - Sigrun, 2200 ATK → 1200 ATK]

Zeke sneered: "Hmph, my Sigrun has already attacked this turn, what's the point of reducing her ATK before the end of the turn?

It seems that I overestimated you. You are just a second-rate duelist after all. If you choose to reduce Elda's ATK, Elda's ATK will drop to 1000, which is lower than the waste soldier, and I can't let her attack anymore..."

Before he finished taunting, Yusei waved his hand: "Open the face card, Trap Card - Counterattack Smoke! It can be activated when the opponent's monster attacks and destroys our monster.

Choose a monster on our field to increase its ATK by 500, and force a battle with the opponent's monster!" (Animation card)

"What!?" Zeke was surprised.

"I'll increase the attack power of the Junk Warrior by 500, and force him to fight the goddess of war - Sigrun!"

The Junk Warrior, who had been listless for a long time, shouted "Haaaa", made a charging gesture, and his whole body was burning with energy flames, as if he was about to regain his strength.

[Junk Warrior, attack power 1300 → attack power 1800]

"I see!" Zeke suddenly realized, "The Junk Warrior equipped with the 'Nibelung Ring' can't attack actively, so he used the effect of the trap card to force a battle...

No, not only that, before that, he also used the effect of the 'Dead Guardian' to reduce the attack power of the goddess of war, and by the way, increased the attack power of the Junk Warrior...

Is all this within his plan!?"

Zeke couldn't help but look up to the unknown guy in front of him. At this time, he looked at the other party's funny rabbit headgear, and couldn't help but wonder who was hiding under the headgear...

"Beautiful, Yusei!" Judai praised his junior without hesitation, "Fight back in one go!"

"But it's no use!" Zeke quickly gathered his mind, "Open the face card, Trap Card - Counter Shield! Sacrifice a monster on your field, and its defense can be added to the attack power of another monster!

I sacrifice 'Goddess of War - Elda', and add its defense to Sigrun's attack power!" (Animation card)

The goddess of war in red armor disappeared under the effect of the trap, and turned into a beam of light attached to Sigrun's long sword. The sword suddenly gained power, and layers of sacred aura enveloped the goddess of war, raising her momentum out of thin air.

[War Goddess - Sigrun, ATK 1200 → ATK 3400]

"But when 'War Goddess - Elda' leaves the field, her effect disappears." Youxing said, "The Junk Warrior's ATK rises by 1000 again!"

[Junk Warrior, ATK 1800 → ATK 2800]

"It doesn't matter, in the end Sigrun's ATK is higher." Zeke chuckled elegantly and waved his arm gently, "Go, Sigrun, defeat that inexplicably annoying monster!"

Sigrun launched the final charge, and the Junk Warrior also fearlessly met it!

The Junk Warrior's red eyepiece flashed with light, and the tail flame behind him spewed out long, and his right fist was shrouded in burning golden light, like a flying meteor, slamming hard on the Valkyrie's sword!

Sparks flew in the air, and a visible shock wave exploded. Both sides retreated, but neither was knocked down.

[Yusei, LP 2600 → LP 2000]

"What?" Zeke was surprised, "Why wasn't the Junk Warrior knocked down?"

As he spoke, a shadow appeared in front of the Junk Warrior. A warrior holding a spear and a shield appeared in front of him like a ghost, resisting the impact and damage.

"The 'Shield Warrior' in the graveyard is removed from the game, and can only protect my monster from being destroyed by battle once." Yusei said calmly.

Zeke: "!?"

Shield Warrior... Is this the card that was thrown to the graveyard by my "Nibelung Ring" effect last turn?

So, it turns out that the monster card that made him throw away the hand last turn was actually collaborating with the enemy?

"Continue to open the face-up cards." Yusei waved his hand again, and the last face-up card in front of him turned over, "Trap Card - Synchro Aura!

This card is activated when your Synchro Monster fails to destroy the opponent's monster after the battle! The attack power of that Synchro Monster is doubled until the end of the turn... You can fight the opponent again!" (Animation card)

"What!?" Zeke was shocked.

The Junk Warrior roared "Ahhh", and the golden light all over his body was like a burning flame, and his strength soared a lot in an instant.

[Junk Warrior, Attack Power 2800 → Attack Power 5600]

"Attack Power... 5600!?" Zeke was shocked.

Yusei showed his last card: "This is the last one! At the moment of battle, discard 'Dash Warrior' from your hand to activate its effect!

When your 'Warrior' Synchro Monster battles the opponent, discard this card. Only during this battle, the monster's attack power will be doubled!"

[Junk Warrior, 5600 attack power → 11200 attack power]

"Attack power... 11,200!?"

Zeke had a look on his face that said "I'm stupid" and when he looked at the figure in the bunny suit opposite him again, his eyes were filled with fear.

Using the effect of the Dead Guardian to block the gun, reducing the attack power of the Goddess of War, while satisfying the triggering condition of the trap card "Counterattack Smoke", and then further predicting Zeke's counterattack, using the effect of "Shield Warrior" to prevent the destruction of the Waste Warrior, and then triggering the triggering condition of the trap card "Synchronous Aura"...

...Looking back at each card and each link from Zeke's current perspective, this chain of chains is like a complete closed loop, leading directly to the current ending...

...The ending of his defeat.

Zeke looked at the other party in horror.

This guy... Has he already calculated everything! ?

What kind of monster is he! ?

Even Judai couldn't help but sigh: "Yusei... is so powerful..."

This is indeed his heartfelt sigh.

Although Judai is still stronger at this stage, he is not the kind of duelist who is used to using his brain to make precise calculations and win through careful considerations.

In contrast, he is more used to relying on invincible God draws.

"Junk Warrior!" Youxing waved his hand, "Scrap Iron Fist!"

The tail flames shot out from behind the Junk Warrior, and the golden light released from the punch was unprecedentedly dazzling. The fist with golden light shattered the Valkyrie's sword energy with just one blow, and the monster was also crushed into powder, and at the same time, the duel was put to an end.

[Zeke, LP 2400 → LP 0]
