Royal Proclamation, activate!
Hmm, there was no need to say much about this card. As a red-trap specialist, Rishid naturally recognized it. It was likewise an extremely dangerous card that ranked near the top of his personal wanted list.
All Trap effects were negated. Such a simple, brutal line of text, and just like Jinzo, it could single-handedly wipe out more than half of Rishid's Deck.

"If something can easily be targeted, then naturally, countermeasures against those counters must be designed," Kira said. "As expected of a Legendary Duelist."
"Legendary or not, you flatter me," Rishid said. "But when facing the King, one must naturally give everything
