Chapter 358
The card slot quickly stored the card, and four crystal pillars suddenly appeared in the sky above the field, transforming the surrounding environment into an endless blue sky, while the ground beneath their feet was a desolate white wasteland.
The sudden change also startled Asuka and John.
"What? That card...?"
"Be careful, Judai! That place gives off a really bad vibe...!"
"Um!"
Even without their reminders, Judai knew perfectly well that there was something wrong with the venue.
Yusuke Fujiwara sneered and continued, "That's right, in the [Pure World], the attributes of monsters will have negative effects on the player who owns them."
"What?!"
"The Pure Monster has no attributes, so it's unaffected by the [Pure World] effect... Hmph, it's precisely because it has a personality that it's affected. That kind of thing is unnecessary. Throw it away and merge it with Darkness!"
By completely discarding attributes, Pure Monster are unaffected by the field, but in the physical card version, they are simply unaffected by the field.
Then Yusuke Fujiwara placed another card into the back row. "I'll hide another card here, end of turn."
[Yusuke Fujiwara real card: 6→3]
Chapter 280 The Nightmare Throne
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 5→6]
Judai quickly glanced at his hand and said, "The problem is still with the field, so..."
Without hesitation, he slammed a monster card onto the Duel Disk: "I summon [Sacrifice of the Demonic Lotus] in Attack Position!"
Buzz!
With a flash of golden light, a lotus demon was projected onto Judai's field.
[Sacrifice of the Demonic Lotus: Attack Power 0]
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 6 → 5]
Seeing a monster appear on the Judai, Yusuke Fujiwara suddenly sneered and said, "Hmph, the player controlling the Dark Attribute Monster cannot declare an attack."
"Then I'll just not attack..."
"What did you say?!"
At this moment, Judai pointed to the Lotus Demon beside him and said calmly, "The special effect of [Sacrifice of the Demonic Lotus] is activated. Tribute this card on the field to Special Summon 1 [Yubel] monster from the Deck."
"Come, [Yubel Spirit]!"
A beam of golden light suddenly rose from beneath the Demon Lotus's feet, engulfing her body. The light barrier dissipated the next moment, Yubel's figure reappeared beside Judai.
[Yubel Spirit: Attack Power 0]
"They've arrived, the spirits protecting Yusei Fudo... But that monster's attack power is only zero. What can you possibly do with that kind of card?"
"Hmph, there are plenty of things I can do!"
Judai's eyes narrowed, and he continued, "[Yubel Spirit] cannot be destroyed by battle; the damage this card inflicts on itself through battle becomes zero."
"And when she is Special Summoned, you can add one Spell/ Trap Card with the name [Yubel] from your Deck to your hand or set it face-down. By doing so, I add [Nightmare's Pain] to my hand and activate it."
Immediately after, Judai threw a card into the graveyard and continued, "The effect of the Continuous Spell [Nightmare's Pain] is activated. During your Main Phase, destroy one Dark Attribute Monster from your hand or field, and add one [Yubel] or a card with this card's name from your Deck to your hand."
"I destroy [Undead Torture Giant] from my hand, add the Field Spell [Nightmare Throne] from my deck to my hand, and activate it."
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 5 → 4]
Swish!
As Judai's Field Zone absorbed this card, the Field Spell was instantly overwritten, the environment collapsed rapidly, and a throne rose up behind Judai.
"Oh no...!!" Yusuke Fujiwara shrank upon seeing this.
He hadn't even had a chance to use the power of the field before it vanished in an instant.
Judai chuckled and said, "Due to the activation of the new Field Spell, the original [Pure World] was destroyed, losing its attribute restriction on the player. Moreover, as part of the effect processing when [Nightmare Throne] is activated, I can choose one Fiend-type monster with zero ATK and DEF from my Deck to add to my hand or destroy!"
(PS: This is a newly released card that can be used to search for lower-tier Phantoms. Yubel buff × / Fiend-type buff √)
"Using this effect, I destroy [Hubel 9] in my deck. When [Yubel] is destroyed by an effect other than its own, I can activate its special effect to Special Summon one [Yubel - The Hated Knight] from my hand, deck, Yubel's clone!"
In an instant, the light effect rose again, and a two-headed demonic dragon appeared.
[Yubel - The Hated Knight: Attack Power 0]
"That concludes my turn."
Meanwhile, the chain of Judai was just beginning.
"During my End Phase, the Abomination Knight forces me to activate its special effect, destroying all monsters on the field except myself!"
Bang! Bang--!
In an instant, the crystal pillars and the Yubel Spirit on the field suddenly exploded and turned into dust.
"Damn it! Because [Pure Cube] left the field, its effect activated, Special Summoning another [Pure Cube]."
The crystal pillar encasing the cube robot reappeared on Yusuke Fujiwara's field.
[Pure Cube: Defense 0]
"You're not the only one who can activate this effect..." Judai waved his hand and shouted, "Activate the other effect of [Yubel Spirit]!"
If this card is destroyed, you can activate this effect: Special Summon 1 [Yubel] from your hand, Deck, Graveyard, or banished state.
"Rise, [Yubel]!"
A beam of white light shot out from the graveyard opening on the Judai Duel Disk, Yubel's figure solidified once more.
[Yubel: Attack Power 0]
"At this moment, due to the appearance of [Yubel], the monster effect of [Undead Torture Giant] is activated from the graveyard."
This effect can be activated if you Special Summon [Yubel] while this card is in your Graveyard. Special Summon this card to your opponent's field.
A beam of light immediately rose on Yusuke Fujiwara's field, and a steel giant covered in torture instruments appeared.
[Undead Torture Giant: Attack Power 3000]
"At the same time, when [Yubel] is on your field, [Sacrifice of the Demonic Lotus] in your graveyard is resurrected during your End Phase."
Another flash of light appeared on the Judai, and the Lotus Demon reappeared.
[Sacrifice of the Demonic Lotus: Defense 0]
"[Yubel] needs to sacrifice a card to stay on the field. I sacrifice [Yubel - The Hated Knight], and when [Yubel - The Hated Knight] leaves the field, I can Special Summon one [Yubel - The Extremely Sad Dragon] from my hand, Deck, or Graveyard."
Then, a layer of light appeared on the two-headed dragon's body, and its body evolved again, growing two arms and four demonic faces.
[Yubel - The Extremely Sad Dragon: Attack Power 0]
"All the Yubel monsters possess the ability to be immune to combat; any damage they suffer from combat is nullified."
"Yubel is attacked, it deals damage to the opponent equal to the attacking monster's ATK. Meanwhile, the Extremely Sad Dragon deals damage to the opponent equal to the opponent's monster's ATK at the end of the battle damage calculation and destroys that monster."
"With the added effect of the Continuous Spell [Nightmare's Pain], the opponent's monster must attack the Yubel Monster."
"What?!"
After listening to the end, Yusuke Fujiwara finally understood what Judai was doing, and he frowned, his expression becoming serious.
Although Judai's field wasn't particularly powerful, it was very difficult for his Cleanse deck to deal with, especially without the field interference, which made it quite troublesome.
Having just finished a long monologue, Judai's mouth was almost dry, so he urged, "Alright, it's your turn!"
Chapter 281 Can't Play Yu-Gi-Oh!!
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Yusuke Fujiwara's hand cards: 3→4]
After drawing a card, Yusuke Fujiwara played a monster card. "I sacrifice [Pure Cube] and [Undead Torture Giant] on the field to summon [Pure Evil Dragon]!"
As the two monsters vanished from his field, a huge, clear crystal appeared, inside which a giant dragon was sealed.
[Pure Evil Dragon: Defense 0]
[Yusuke Fujiwara's hand cards: 4→3]
"The special effect of [Pure Evil Dragon] is that when calculating damage, the attack power becomes twice that of the target."
Judai: "But all the monsters on my field are 0..."
Yusuke Fujiwara: "Therefore, [Pure Evil Dragon] has zero attack power and will not be damaged by the [Yubel] monster's effect, making the battle meaningless."
"But similarly, you have nothing now." Judai sneered.
"Tsk, Yubel's deck is really annoying..."
Unable to play Yu-Gi-Oh! -Oh!, Yusuke Fujiwara could only declare, "End of turn."
"You want to avoid the fight, but I don't want to waste my time..."
Judai spoke, he suddenly pulled out a card.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 4→5]
After drawing his card, he pointed to the Spell Card beside him and shouted, "I'll activate the effect of [Nightmare's Pain] again, destroy [Yubel] on the field, add one card containing [Yubel] from my deck to my hand, and add [Hellish Grave Crawler] to my hand."
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 5→6]
"And because [Yubel] was destroyed by an effect other than its own, [Yubel - The Hated Knight] in the Graveyard is Special Summoned once again."
As soon as Judai finished speaking, Yubel's form transformed back into a two-headed dragon.
Immediately afterwards, Judai revealed the card he had just retrieved. "I activate the monster effect of [Hellish Grave Crawler] from my hand!"
During your turn or your opponent's turn, if you control a Fiend-type monster, you can activate this effect. Special Summon this card from your hand. After that, you can destroy 1 [Yubel] or a monster with that card's name on it that you control.
"Using this effect, I Special Summon [Hellish Grave Crawler] in Defense Position."
Buzz!
A flash of golden light appeared on the field, followed by the appearance of a demon with wings on its back and its body wrapped in bandages.
[Hellish Grave Crawler: Defense 0]
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 6 → 5]
"Due to the effect of [Hellish Grave Crawler], I destroyed [Yubel - The Hated Knight]! At the same time, because the [Yubel] monster left the field, another effect of the Field Spell [Nightmare Throne] was triggered."
Once per turn, if a face-up [Yubel] monster you control leaves the field by a card effect: You can add 1 [Yubel] monster from your Deck, Graveyard, or banished state that has a Level 1 higher or lower than that monster to your hand. Then, you can Special Summon that monster, ignoring its Summoning conditions.
"Reappear, [Yubel] and [The Undead Torture Giant]!"
The two-headed dragon disappeared again, reverting to Yubel's original form, and then triggered the effect of the Undead Torture Giant once more, Special Summoning it to Yusuke Fujiwara's field.
"How annoying..." Yusuke Fujiwara clicked his tongue inwardly as he saw the Undead Torture Giant reappear, revealing a somewhat irritated expression.
"That's it..."
With a wave of Judai hand, Judai gave the order, "Battle begins! [Yubel - The Extremely Sorrowful Dragon] attacks [The Undead Torture Giant]!"
"Then at that moment, the special effect of the Extremely Sad Dragon activates, dealing damage equal to the opponent's monster's ATK and destroying that monster during damage calculation. Combined with the effect of [Nightmare's Pain], the battle damage inflicted on you by [Yubel] is absorbed by your opponent, so you will take a total of 6000 damage."
The next moment, thick vines, as thick as tree roots, suddenly sprouted from the ground beneath the dragon's feet and pierced towards the enemy.
Seeing this, Yusuke Fujiwara quickly pressed the button on the face-down card and shouted, "Don't even think about succeeding! Open the face-down card, Quick-Play Spell [Pure Robe]!"
"The attack and defense of one monster you control are reduced to zero, and its effect of leaving the field is negated!"
A barrier instantly opened, deflecting the attack aimed at the Undead Torture Giant.
[Undead Torture Giant: Attack 3000 → 0, Defense 300 → 0]
"The Undead Torture Giant's attack power is zero, therefore I received zero damage."
"This guy is really troublesome..."
Then Judai changed the subject and continued, "But my turn isn't over yet. I activate the monster effect of [Sacrifice of the Demonic Lotus] again, sacrificing this card to Special Summon another [Yubel Spirit] from my Deck."
Immediately afterward, Yubel created a clone that looked exactly like him on the field.
[Yubel Spirit: Attack Power 0]
