Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World, Part 120
"That hateful brat over there, Jiang He, let me reclaim the power of the Sacred Beasts this turn!" I activated another Field Spell from my hand, [Fallen Paradise]!
Seeing the old man Kagemaru, once again control the mechanical arm and activate the Field Spell [Fallen Paradise] that he had just added to his hand, Jiang He's lips twitched, realizing what the other party was planning.
"Want to reset the effect of drawing two cards each turn by reactivating a second field card? 740"
He stated that this was using the area of Sacred Beasts as the [Pot of Greed].
"Exactly! With the effect of the second [Fallen Paradise], I can draw two more cards from my deck!" Inside the life support device, the old man Kagemaru, chuckled smugly.
Controlling the mechanical arm, he drew two more cards from the Duel Disk deck.
This brings my hand to three cards!
It seems they already have a plan to turn the tide!
He quickly pointed out a card from the robotic arm and placed it on the Duel Disk!
"Next, I activate Quick-Play Spell from my hand, [Trap Booster]! I can activate a Trap from my hand!" A Quick-Play Spell card with a black clip-like pattern instantly appeared on the field in front of the old man Kagemaru! "The Trap I activate from my hand is, of course, this Continuous Trap [Royal Decree], specifically designed to counter yours!" As Kagemaru controlled the mechanical arm and placed one of his remaining two cards on the Duel Disk, a rather familiar brown royal city Trap with a king announcing a proclamation instantly appeared there!

"It's actually a [Royal Decree]!"
Upon seeing the trap activated by Kagemaru, Chazz Princeton, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"In that case, all of Jiang He's traps will be rendered useless!"
Bastion Misawa also guessed with some surprise.
"Was it because during the dueling tournament between the Duel Academy and the North Academy, Chazz Princeton used this trap against Jiang He, which gave him inspiration?!"
Aside from that one duel, which was broadcast live to the entire dueling world, under normal circumstances, no one would think to use the same trap that Jiang He had used before to deal with Chazz Princeton.
"That's right, this is exactly the information we obtained when we were following the dueling tournament between the Duel Academy and the North Academy!"
Inside the life support device, the old man Kagemaru, had obviously heard the sounds from the distance and chuckled as he looked at Jiang He and said...
"Kid, this effectively disables your trap defenses!"
"It seems you have some other follow-up measures in mind. If so, use them while you still can."
Jiang He, however, remained completely calm and instead spoke with great interest.
"Huh? How did Jiang He know that the other party had other follow-up methods?"
Standing by the large pit where the battle was taking place, Syrus Truesdale immediately revealed his true colors as a poor student and asked in confusion.
He gave Jiang He a good laugh.
"Because even if Jiang He's traps are restricted, the attack power of [Raviel, Lord of Phantasms] is the same as Jiang He's [Relinquished], both at 4000."
Upon hearing this, Kaiser Zane Truesdale's expression immediately became more serious as he continued to watch the situation on the dueling arena, offering a brief explanation.
"Furthermore, [The Relinquished] has the effect that if it is destroyed in battle, the equipped monster will destroy it instead."
"In other words, if the opponent uses [Raviel, Lord of Phantasms] to attack the [Relinquished] on Jiang He's field, the final result will only be that [Raviel, Lord of Phantasms] itself is destroyed in the battle."
Jaden Yuki, standing next to him, chimed in and continued.
"Jiang He's [Relinquished] only needs to destroy the [Uria, Lord of Searing Flames] that it previously absorbed as an equipment card, thus avoiding destruction."
"If there were no follow-up tactics, the other side certainly wouldn't have done that."
Upon hearing his words, both Syrus Truesdale and Chumley, who was also a poor student, immediately showed expressions of realization.
In that case, the situation would obviously become that there would still be a [Relinquished] with 4000 attack power on Jiang He's field.
Meanwhile, the opposing team had nothing left on the field.
Judging from the Chairman Kagemaru's seemingly premeditated demeanor, he had clearly taken all of these factors into account.
Without other follow-up measures, the duel certainly wouldn't have taken place like this!
Jiang He would call the comedic duo of that unlucky little Syrus Truesdale Kaiser Zane Truesdale Jaden Yuki, a hot-blooded idiot, the "supporting comedian trio"!
"Hmph, you can tell? Well, it wouldn't hurt to tell you in advance." From inside the life support device, the old man Kagemaru's confident voice rang out.
At the same time, he controlled the robotic arm and showed him his last remaining card in advance.
"The remaining Spell Card in my hand, [Revival Ritual], can be activated after one of my monsters is destroyed by battle. Destroy one monster on your opponent's field and Special Summon Defense Position monster from their Graveyard in Defense Position!"
"In other words, after my strongest Sacred Beasts attack, the only outcome will be that one of the Sacred Beasts will still exist on my field, while you Jiang He, will have nothing!" "There's actually such a tactic!" Alexis Rhodes, the bald-headed Chancellor Sheppard Samejima, Jaden Yuki, and the others' expressions all changed immediately.
They all instantly showed expressions of tension!
"Hmph, come and witness the power of the strongest Sacred Beasts, Jiang He!"
Under the intense gazes of Alexis Rhodes and the others, the old man Kagemaru, his emotions running high, raised his mechanical arm and commanded the [Relinquished] on the field in Jiang He: "[Raviel, Lord of Phantasms], attack [Relinquished]! Celestial Pummeling Fist!" "Roar!!"
At Kagemaru's signal, the enormous, dark blue, Sacred Beasts in the sky above him suddenly unleashed a powerful strike with blue energy emanating from its claws, directly slamming into the dark green [Relinquished] figure in front of Jiang He!
"If you actually succeed in your attack, then I'll be in real trouble."
Seeing the massive, Sacred Beasts phantom claw hurtling towards him, Jiang He revealed a wicked smile. As if he had been prepared, he calmly showed one of his five cards!
That was the figure of a rather familiar little monster!
"But... I activate the special effect of this little guy [Sphere Kuriboh] from my hand: when an opponent's monster attacks, send it from my hand to the Graveyard and change that attacking monster to Defense Position!" "Kurikuri!"
As Jiang He revealed the card [Sphere Kuriboh] from his hand, a rather familiar figure of a small, brownish-red ball-shaped monster immediately appeared.
Then (Zhao Ma) flew directly towards the figure of [Phantom Demon Raviel, Lord of Phantasms], who was attacking [Relinquished].
With its short legs outstretched, it executed a skillful sliding tackle!
The kick was aimed at the massive, ferocious, dark blue phantom Sacred Beasts's foot, which was descending from mid-air with a powerful claw attack.
The tiny monster, no bigger than a fingernail, kicked [Raviel, Lord of Phantasms] down from mid-air in a sorry state, finally landing in the air above Kagemaru, where it was crouched in a defensive stance with its arms crossed in front of it!
"..." Kagemaru.
"..." Alexis Rhodes and the bald- Chancellor Sheppard, among others.
In an instant, everyone present stared at the scene in utter bewilderment, falling silent in disbelief.
They were all petrified.
Chapter 219 I've never heard such a despicable request [Please subscribe]
Kagemaru's face turned a deep purplish-red, so frustrated he didn't know how to speak!
His strongest Sacred Beasts, [Raviel, Lord of Phantasms], was actually toyed with by a mere one-star weak monster with only 300 attack power!
This is an exaggerated contrast: a plasma cannon is prepared to attack, but it is intercepted in mid-air by a "mosquito".
This is just too frustrating and infuriating!
[Ding, Kagemaru's Emotion Points +1200!]
"It seems that even though I just told you that most one-star monsters are monsters, you still haven't grasped it at all."
Jiang He looked disappointed and helpless, shrugging his shoulders.
This immediately infuriated the old man, Kagemaru, who was inside the life support device in the distance!
"Stop spouting nonsense, kid!"
Kagemaru's face immediately turned green with anger, and he spoke to Jiang He in annoyance.
"Although you changed my [Raviel, Lord of Phantasms] to a 740 Defense Position, its Defense stat is still 4000, just like its Attack stat."
"Given your current situation on the field, you have absolutely no power to break through its defenses! If you're so capable, then let me see for myself!"
As he spoke, he also abruptly ended the round.
After all, at this point, all he had left in his hand was the "revealed" Spell Card, [Revival Ritual], whose original plan had been disrupted by the effect of [Sphere Kuriboh] and which was temporarily unusable.
There's nothing else we can do besides ending this round.
"Indeed, and with five cards already in Jiang He's Spell & Trap Zone, it's impossible to use the same auxiliary method as the [Golden Evil Cult God] monster effect to turn the opponent's Sacred Beasts into an Equip Card for [Relinquished]."
Standing by the large pit, watching the battle, Atticus Rhodes frowned slightly as she analyzed the situation.
Although Jiang He used the effect of [Sphere Kuriboh] to disrupt the opponent's plan, the opponent can still implement it again in the next round.
After all, a monster with 4000 attack power attacking a monster with 4000 defense power will only result in both sides remaining at peace.
It seems I'm still a little short of strength to completely overwhelm my opponent.
"Since you've made such a despicable request, it wouldn't be right for me not to grant it."
Jiang He simply shrugged and then calmly drew a card from the top of his Duel Disk.
"My turn, draw a card!"
Immediately, Jiang He barely even glanced at the card he had drawn. With a bright smile, he took one of the four cards from his hand and showed it! "The auxiliary method of turning Sacred Beasts into Equipment Cards is indeed temporarily unavailable, but I have other special NTR techniques!" "Activate the Spell Card from my hand, [Change of Heart]!"
A Spell Card depicting a blonde girl with half demon wings and half angel wings, holding a heart pattern, suddenly appeared on the field in front of Jiang He! "What?! It's Change of Heart?!"
The old Kagemaru in the life support device opposite him suddenly changed his expression!
They clearly knew about the card's effect!
(bafc) "Is that card's effect also something like controlling the opponent's monsters...?" Alexis Rhodes, Bastion Misawa, Chazz Princeton, and the others watching from the sidelines couldn't help but guess with some surprise upon seeing this.
"This card's effect: Target one monster your opponent controls, and gain control of it until the end of my turn. The Sacred Beasts Demons themselves are only affected by Spell Card effects for one turn!"
Under the watchful gaze of the old Kagemaru opposite, whose face constantly shifted between black, green, and red—a truly spectacular display of frustration— Jiang He, with an extremely cheerful smile, raised his hand and gestured towards the massive, ferocious, dark blue phantom Sacred Beasts figure crouching defensively in front of him.
"A family should be together, so I'll choose the monster I control, of course, your strongest Sacred Beasts on the field, [Raviel, Lord of Phantasms]!"
As he finished speaking, a black and white beam of light shot out from the Spell Card [Change of Heart] that appeared on the field in front of him!
It landed instantly on the Kagemaru man's field, on the head of the huge, ferocious dark blue phantom Sacred Beasts figure.
Just like the two Sacred Beasts before it, it tried to roar and struggle, but was quickly brought under control. Its eyes lost their spirit and it flew away from its original spot, eventually landing in the airspace above Jiang He's front.
He Kagemaru the old man, the original owner, inside the mechanical life support device in the distance opposite.
"They've... they've got it under control again..." Jaden Yuki, Bastion Misawa, Chazz Princeton, and the others all had strange expressions, and cold sweat broke out on their brows.
They suddenly felt that the Chairman Kagemaru, seemed to be glowing with a faint green light.
Could this chairman be sent to his death by Jiang He's duel...?
Inside the mechanical life support device, old man Kagemaru stared intently at Jiang He with wide eyes and a dark expression.
His mouth trembled slightly as he wanted to curse.
On the life support device, the electrocardiogram, which hadn't disappeared since it popped up, showed a red line that shot straight up!
It drew a perfectly straight diagonal line at an extremely fast speed!
[Ding, Kagemaru's Emotion Points +1600!]
This surprised Jiang He quite a bit!
I really have to say, no wonder he's Shadow Riders boss-level old man, he can actually produce such a skewed electrocardiogram line!
You've really got some nerve, old man Kagemaru!
