Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World, Part 137
"Is it a new ritual monster I've never seen before?" Jaden Yuki asked with immediate curiosity. Although, given his poor academic background, there were countless ritual monsters he had never seen before.
"In ancient Egyptian mythology, Nephthys is the guardian goddess of life, capable of rebirth, and the mother of Anubis, the god of the Reaper. Jiang He's ritual monster 763 might have the effect of continuous resurrection."
Just then, a familiar little girl's voice rang out from not far away, explaining with a hint of pride.
Before anyone knew it, Rei Saotome had also arrived!
"This troublesome little girl is here..." Alexis Rhodes sighed and rubbed her forehead upon seeing this.
Then he turned his attention to the situation on Jiang He's side of the dueling arena.
I plan to see if it's really as Rei Saotome guessed.
"No wonder she's a genius girl who skipped grades to the Duel Academy at the age of 'three years'..." Jiang He muttered to himself as he heard Alexis and the others' voices.
Immediately, he placed the Ritual Spell Card he had just added to his hand onto the Duel Disk. "Then, activate the Ritual Spell from my hand, [Rebirth of Nephthys]!" "Tribute monsters of the corresponding Level from my hand and field, Special Summon a Ritual Monster with ' Nephthys ' in its name from my hand!" "Whoosh!!"
As a giant Spell Card with a sacrificial design appeared, a massive phoenix sculpture altar quickly rose up in front of Jiang He with a thunderous roar!
It exudes a sacred aura, making it truly awe-inspiring!
"I tribute this Level 8 monster from my hand, [Lava Golem], to Ritual Summon [Nephtys, the Sacred Flame]!"
As Jiang He spoke, he pointed to a monster in his hand, and at the same time, the familiar, gigantic illusory image of the Lava Golem monster instantly appeared on the giant phoenix sculpture altar! "Offering the [Lava Golem] as a sacrifice...?!"
In an instant, the expressions on the faces of Alexis Rhodes, Syrus Truesdale, and the others all turned strange, and a bead of cold sweat dripped down their backs. From the fact that the ritual offering was something like a [Lava Golem], they knew that the ritual monster [Nephtys, the Sacred Flame] that Jiang He was summoning was definitely not from the mortal realm... Screech!
As the familiar phantom of the Lava Golem beast turned into magma and was absorbed into the huge phoenix sculpture altar in front of Jiang He, a pillar of orange-red flames immediately shone from it!
In the blink of an eye, the figure of a dark crystal phoenix monster, its entire body ice-blue and burning with a few flames, appeared!
It landed on the field in front of Jiang He with a screech!
[Nephtys, the Sacred Flame]
[Star Rating: 8]
[Attribute: Fire]
[Attack Power: 3000]
[Defense Strength: 1000]
"It's a monster with 3000 attack power! But my [Black Brachios] on the field also has a whopping 3000 defense power. That kind of monster can't break through my defense!" Tyranno Hassleberry chuckled confidently.
Furthermore, one of the two traps he has laid on the field is a trap that can increase the defense of his monsters!
Once this senior named Jiang He launches an attack, he will immediately taste the power of the dinosaur's counterattack!
However, before he could even feel smug, he soon heard Jiang He He's "sunny" voice.
"You don't actually think that the level 8 monster I Ritual Summon is just a blank card with no effect, do you?" Jiang He said with a faint smile as he took out a card from his hand, much to the surprise of "Nani" from Tyranno Hassleberry.
"[Nephtys, the Sacred Flame's ] special effect: Destroy any number of monsters with ' Nephthys ' in their name from your hand or field and send them to the Graveyard. Then, destroy the corresponding number of monsters your opponent controls!" "It can 'destroy' monsters from your hand to activate its effect?"
Whether it was Alexis Rhodes and her group, or Tyranno Hassleberry, they all immediately noticed the subtle difference in Jiang He's words!
It's destruction, not abandonment of the cemetery!
In other words, if there are monsters whose effects can only be activated after being destroyed and sent to the graveyard, they can be chained together to activate their effects!
Soon, Jiang He smiled and turned the card he had taken out over to reveal it.
That was a phoenix monster that looked somewhat similar to [Nephtys, the Sacred Flame], but instead of being ice-blue, it had a golden metallic texture! "I choose to destroy this Level 8 [Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys] in my hand and send it to the Graveyard, destroying your [Black Brachios]!"

"Go! [Nephtys, the Sacred Flame], Sacred Flame of the Blue Phoenix!"
After Jiang He placed the Level 8 monster [Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys] from his hand into the Duel Disk Graveyard, he waved to signal!
The enormous, ice-blue phoenix monster hovering in front of him suddenly let out a piercing cry, its eyes flashing with light!
Then it opened its mouth and spat out a beam of blue flame!
It swiftly struck the black Brachiosaurus monster, which was in a defensive stance, on the distant opposite side of the field!
It immediately let out a mournful howl, and with a "bang," it shattered into particle fragments and disappeared!
"Damn it! My [Black Brachios] was actually...!" Tyranno Hassleberry clenched his fists.
I never expected that the monster with 3000 DEF he summoned would be so easily destroyed in the first turn. "Big brother!"
Several of Tyranno Hassleberry's underlings nearby immediately cried out in concern.
Without any defensive monsters, being attacked by [Nephtys, the Sacred Flame] with 3000 attack power would result in a full 3000 points of damage!
"Don't worry, it won't be that easy for them to defeat my dinosaurs!"
Tyranno Hassleberry immediately raised his hand to indicate one of the two hidden cards on the field in front of him.
"Activate the Ambush Card, Continuous Trap [Call of the Haunted]! Revive one monster from your Graveyard!" "Phew!!"
A familiar tombstone pattern trap was suddenly lifted, and with a faint light, the [Black Brachios] that had just been destroyed instantly reappeared!
With a defensive stance and a roar, it appeared on the field in front of Tyranno Hassleberry!
"They didn't use the dinosaur race's special resurrection trap, but rather a common trap like [Call of the Haunted]..." Jiang He muttered to himself with a subtle look in his eyes.
However, since the opponent has revived that [Black Brachios] with 3000 DEF, he naturally can't use [Nephtys, the Sacred Flame] with the same ATK to attack. "Then, I'll set up three more cards and end my turn!"
Jiang He immediately placed his remaining three cards on the field, ending his turn!
"Three ambush cards...?"
Tyranno Hassleberry's eyes widened in surprise.
Why did he always feel that there was something slightly off about Jiang He He's dueling style?
Generally speaking, most normal decks don't include too many spell Trap Card...
It's normal for someone like him to have one or two cards hidden in the meantime.
"That freshman named Tyranno Hassleberry has finally started to realize that something is wrong."
Meanwhile, Chumley, Syrus Truesdale, and the others watching from the sidelines all looked at the tanned, seemingly simple-minded but actually passionate young man with a hint of pity on their faces.
Even if they don't know the specifics of Jiang He's new underworld deck, they can roughly determine its strategy.
Jiang He's three hidden cards must be some kind of supernatural, ghost story.
"My turn, draw a card!"
After shaking his head to banish the ominous premonition from his mind, Tyranno Hassleberry immediately drew cards from his own Duel Disk deck.
After glancing at the card he had drawn, Tyranno Hassleberry looked solemnly at the icy blue [Nephtys, the Sacred Flame] monster on Jiang He's field, along with the three hidden cards, pondering and analyzing his countermeasures!
That ritual monster, [Nephtys, the Sacred Flame], has the troublesome ability to destroy monsters in the hand or on the field whose names contain "Nephthys" and send them to the Graveyard, thereby destroying the corresponding number of monsters on the opponent's field.
If this ritual monster isn't destroyed this turn, then whatever dinosaur monster it summons will likely be completely destroyed next turn.
Furthermore, there's the unknown effect of the regular Level 8 monster [Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys], which was intentionally sent to the Graveyard last turn.
0. Please give me flowers...
"Then, we've decided to use this tactic!"
After thinking carefully for a moment, Tyranno Hassleberry immediately took out a card from his hand and showed it to the player!
"Activate the Spell Card [Pot of Greed] from your hand, and draw two cards from your Deck!"
A familiar large green pot suddenly appeared before him!
Then, as Tyranno Hassleberry drew two cards from his own Duel Disk deck, it shattered into particles and disappeared.
"Next, activate the Spell Card from your hand, [Hammer Shot]!"
A giant Spell Card image, depicting a fist slamming into the ground, appeared on the field in front of Tyranno Hassleberry as he placed a card on the Duel Disk!
"This card's effect can destroy the monster with the highest DEF on your opponent's field!"
"What?! There's only one [Nephtys, the Sacred Flame] left on the Jiang He right now, and it naturally has the highest defense..."
Upon seeing the Spell Card [Hammer Shot] activated by Tyranno Hassleberry, Jasmine and Mindy, who were watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but mutter calculations to themselves.
"In other words, we can directly destroy [Nephtys, the Sacred Flame]!"
Alexis Rhodes was also surprised and frowned as she spoke.
It must be said that the opponent chose a very clever time to use the Spell Card [Hammer Shot].
However, after glancing at Jiang He's reaction, she subtly noticed that he showed no sign of worry whatsoever.
Instead, a smile that gradually brightened appeared on his face.
"Bang!!"
The next second, a huge, phantom fist descended from the sky and slammed into the ice-blue [Nephtys, the Sacred Flame] monster in front of Jiang He!
In an instant, it shattered into icy blue flame particles, let out a mournful cry, and vanished!
But if you look closely, those faint, icy-blue flame particles can still be seen on the field in front of Jiang He!

Tyranno Hassleberry, completely oblivious to the subtle situation on the Jiang He, once again revealed a cheerful smile as he slapped a card onto the Duel Disk!
"Next, I summon the [Crawling Dragon #2] in attack stance!"
"Roar!!"
In a flash of light, the figure of a gigantic dinosaur monster with an axe-like blade on its head suddenly appeared!
Roaring and howling, it appeared on the field in front of Tyranno Hassleberry!
[Crawling Dragon #2]
[Star Rating: 4]
[Attribute: Earth]
[Attack Power: 1800]
[Defense Strength: 1100]
"Simultaneously change the [Black Brachios] from Defense Position to Attack position!" 763"
"Roar!!"
The dark, long-necked brachiosaurus monster, which had been kneeling defensively on the giant card shadow, suddenly stood up and roared towards Jiang He!
"Hehe! Senior Jiang He, come and witness the immense power of the dinosaurs!" Tyranno Hassleberry said confidently, clenching his fist and laughing.
If both dinosaur monsters succeed in their attacks, the damage will be 3300 points!
"Instead of that, let your dinosaur monster experience the frustration of having no way to use its strength!"
However, before he could signal to attack, he saw Jiang He also smiling and pointing to one of the three ambush cards on the field in front of him.
"Activate the Ambush Card, Trap [Threatening Roar]!"
