Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck and Depressing the World, Part 96
Protecting the body surrounding the Bastion Misawa!
"This card's effect: As long as I have a monster on my field, battle damage to me becomes zero!"
"This was originally a pretty good combination." Jiang He shook his head as he saw the trap set by Bastion Misawa.
Litmus Doom Swordsman has an effect that cannot be destroyed in combat and is also unaffected by trap effects.
When combined with the persistent trap [Spirit Barrier], it can reduce combat damage to zero.
It can almost achieve a "semi-absolute defense" effect.
Unfortunately, when facing a monster like the [Amazoness Swords Woman] with a sinister effect, there is a slight "defense gap".
"Hmph, but with the activated trap on the field, your [Litmus Doom Swordsman]'s attack power will also become 3000 points!"
Upon hearing Bastion Misawa's words, Tania instead smiled and offered a reminder.
As she spoke, the Litmus Doom Swordsman on the field in front of Bastion Misawa, wielding his pair of curved blades, immediately seemed to absorb the power granted by the [Spirit Barrier] trap... (Requesting flowers...)
The attack power gradually increased to 3000 points.
Immediately, facing the approaching [Amazoness Swords Woman], Litmus Doom Swordsman instantly raised her twin swords to counterattack, easily destroying the opponent with a single strike, turning him into a burst of fire and smoke!
However, the flames and smoke from the explosion did not head towards Tania, but instead directly impacted the Bastion Misawa protected by the brown energy barrier!
"Er!!"
This caused Bastion Misawa to instinctively raise his hand to block, letting out a muffled groan of pain!
...0...
His original full health points of [4000LP] decreased by 1500 points, becoming [2500LP].
"[The Litmus Doom Swordsman], after gaining a self-buff that activates a trap, increasing his attack power to 3000, actually posed a danger to Bastion."
Jaden Yuki also spoke with a somewhat serious expression.
If Litmus Doom Swordsman still has 0 attack power, then Tania's [Amazoness Swords Woman], even with 1500 attack power, will surpass Litmus Doom Swordsman.
However, with the protection of the perpetual trap [Spirit Barrier], which reduces combat damage to zero, Bastion can also be immune to damage.
However, now that the [Litmus Doom Swordsman] has an attack power of 3000, although it destroyed a [Amazoness Swords Woman] that Tania had actively attacked, it was due to the special effect of this monster.
The combat damage that the opponent would have had to endure was instead borne by Bastion!
And the opponent still has one of these monsters on their field!
"Second [Amazoness Swords Woman], continue attacking [Litmus Doom Swordsman]! Take the damage for me again, Bastion Misawa!"
Seeing Bastion Misawa's gritted teeth and solemn expression, Tania suddenly smiled and raised her hand again, gesturing for him to "Maru!"

"Drink!!"
As the giant Tania gave the order, the second [Amazoness Swords Woman] in front of her immediately let out a low shout, and the flames on its curved longsword slashed towards the [Litmus Doom Swordsman] with a full 3000 attack power in front of Bastion Misawa!
In the blink of an eye, it was easily countered and destroyed by the twin scimitars in the hands of the Litmus Doom Swordsman, exploding into a ball of fire and smoke!
As he bore the brunt of the explosion's flames and smoke, Bastion Misawa groaned in pain once more!
The monster's life points, which had already reached [2500 LP], decreased by another 1500, leaving only [1000 LP "707"]!
"Although it was extremely dangerous, with only 1000 LP of health remaining, Bastion managed to pull through and there's still hope for victory."
Professor Crowler wiped the cold sweat from Bastion Misawa and breathed a sigh of relief.
Jaden Yuki, along with Chazz Princeton, Syrus Truesdale, and the others, all breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The current health values for both sides are [2500LP] vs. [1000LP].
Although Bastion is far behind, at least there is still a powerful monster with 3000 ATK on the field, [Litmus Doom Swordsman].
As long as the Continuous Trap [Spirit Barrier] remains intact, the player can gradually reduce the life points of the Shadow Riders Muscular Shadow Duel Tania to win starting from the next turn.
"I'm afraid the situation isn't so optimistic; Bastion may have already lost."
Jiang He shook his head and denied the optimistic words of the blond-haired, mushroom-headed professor and his companions.
"Huh? Why do you say that...?" Alexis Rhodes, Professor Crowler, Chazz Princeton, and the others all looked at him with surprise and questioning expressions.
"The opponent still has an ambush card on the field. They certainly wouldn't use such a suicidal attack unless they were absolutely certain of success."
Jiang He shrugged and said.
"Hmph, that guy over there is indeed stronger!"
Upon hearing the sounds from Jiang He and his group, the woman in the distance of the dueling Tania chuckled and raised her hand to indicate the last remaining Ambush Card on the field in front of her!
"Activate the ambush card, a perpetual trap [Call of the Haunted]!"
As the hidden Trap Card was flipped open, a dark pattern with many tombstones was revealed!
"This card's effect: Special Summon a monster from your Graveyard!"
"Rise, [Amazoness Swords Woman]!"
"Drink!!"
As Tania raised the Duel Disk on her muscular left wrist, a golden beam of light shot out from the graveyard above!
In the arena before her, the figure of a rather familiar woman with purplish-red hair and a muscular build reappeared.
The one wielding the curved longsword reappeared there!
"What?!" Bastion Misawa exclaimed in surprise!
Monsters Special Summon by activating a Trap during the Battle Phase can continue to attack!
If this [Amazoness Swords Woman] attacks the [Litmus Doom Swordsman] again...! Oh no!
Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, Syrus Truesdale, and the others all changed their expressions immediately, clearly realizing that something was wrong!
At this point, Bastion had no cards in hand and no other hidden cards.
It's clearly impossible to withstand it any longer!
"Then I'll accept the first person from our Amazoness Tribe to marry into our family!"
Tania grinned crookedly, waving her hand and pointing at the Litmus Doom Swordsman on the field of Bastion Misawa, giving the order, "[Amazoness Swords Woman], attack [Litmus Doom Swordsman] again, give Bastion Daichi the final blow!" Bastion Misawa instantly filled with despair!
Only one thought remained in his mind: he, a fine young man, was about to be taken to a place filled with these terrifyingly muscular women! "Hah!!"
The next second, as the crimson-haired Amazoness Swords Woman had initiated the attack was once again easily slashed and destroyed by the Bastion Misawa in the hands of Litmus Doom Swordsman, the aftershocks of the explosion instantly and completely wiped out the last [1000LP] HP of Misawa Daichi, who had been taking the damage in the battle due to the special effect of [Amazoness Swords Woman]!
After letting out another muffled groan of pain, Bastion Misawa quickly succumbed to the force and collapsed unconscious, kneeling on the ground! "Bastion!!"
Jaden Yuki, along with Chazz Princeton and Professor Crowler, were all startled and couldn't help but exclaim. However, before Jaden Yuki and Chazz Princeton could even speak, someone among them went to help Bastion Misawa. "Basu!"
The giant, Tania, let out a shout, causing the enormous, Blue-Eyes, one-eyed tiger to leap and easily snatch away Bastion Misawa! The Spirit Keys hanging in front of Bastion Misawa also fell directly into the tiger's hand, turning into a wisp of light and disappearing.
"... Jiang He vaguely saw that after losing this Shadow Duel, two lines of paint similar to those on the Amazoness Tribe face of the muscular Tania seemed to automatically and faintly appear on Bastion Misawa Daichi's face... Good heavens, was he temporarily transformed into the Amazoness Tribe?"
Jiang He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Keri keri."
The Sphere Kuriboh perched on his shoulder suddenly cried out as a reminder.
"Your companion seems to have been temporarily transformed into Duel Monsters Spirit after losing the Shadow Duel," the Gravekeeper Assailant Ishizu's voice suddenly appeared beside Jiang He. "If this drags on too long, it's very likely he won't be able to turn back."

Because of the Mark of the Crimson Dragon and the power of the Crimson Dragon 'Dragon Heart Mark, Jiang He could easily sense the current state of Bastion Misawa.
It's somewhat similar to his vampire maid Camula being sealed within the Darkness Card. If this isn't addressed, Bastion might actually be taken to the Duel Monsters Spirit World of the Amazoness Tribe and forced to become their son-in-law by that muscular Tania in no time...
"Who's next?!"
At that moment, the monster's figure on the field in front of the muscular woman Tania disappeared, returning to its pre-duel form.
Then she looked directly at Jiang He and the others again, and said with a smile that exuded an air of certain victory.
"Whether it's that spiky-haired guy or that young man over there, bring them on! I, Tania, the last king of the Amazoness, will take them back to my tribe and have them marry into our Amazoness Tribe!"
"As the last king of my clan, I need more male companions to signify my status!"
Hearing Barbie Tania's words, Jiang He's lips twitched involuntarily. This muscular woman, she actually planned to have polyandry...?
This made Jiang He want to complain a bit. Even in the Duel Monsters Spirit World, shouldn't there be some basic rules to follow?
However, he suddenly realized that in the Duel Monsters Spirit World, there didn't seem to be any of the rules of the real-world duels.
"What kind of nonsense is that! Let's have a proper Shadow Duel Shadow Duel! Don't get involved in those weird conditions!"
Upon hearing certain key words, Alexis Rhodes also spoke up angrily, shouting towards Tania.
Suddenly, a very strong aura burst forth from her!
This caused Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, Syrus Truesdale, and the others on the other side to break out in a cold sweat, instinctively hugging themselves as if frozen by the aura.
Alexis- senpai suddenly has such a strong "aura"...
She truly lives up to her reputation as the "Ice Queen" of the Obelisk Blue Girls' Dormitory.
"Hmph, that tall blonde girl over there, looks like there's a man you're interested in here. Are you trying to compete with me, the last king of the Amazoness Tribe, for a man?!"
After a moment of surprise, Tania quickly understood the reason for Alexis's sudden anger and chuckled.
"Competing for men...?!" Her words immediately stunned Alexis Rhodes.
Especially after noticing the strange looks that Jiang He, Professor Crowler, and Jasmine Mindy were all giving her.
What's more, it made her blush slightly, unsure of how to respond to those words!
Compared to that muscular woman Tania on the other side, who doesn't know anything about modesty or shyness, and even plans to capture several men to reproduce, etc.
She could never do that!
Even if she were to take the initiative to speak first, it should at least be done when no one else is present!
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Alexis Rhodes could only manage a weak retort at the end.
Then she immediately changed the subject, taking the initiative to challenge, "If we're going to continue this Shadow Duel, I'll be your opponent this time!" However, this time, even hot-blooded idiots like Jaden Yuki and Syrus Truesdale could tell that Alexis Rhodes's words just now seemed a bit insincere. "Alexis- senpai, you actually have someone you like?" Syrus Truesdale and Chumley said with some surprise.
"Could it be... that guy Jiang He...?" Chazz Princeton suddenly looked as if he had just realized something, and muttered a bewildered guess. He seemed to have vaguely noticed that Alexis- senpai glanced in Jiang He's direction after hearing the other person's words...
"Although you also possess the Spirit Keys, in my selection of duel targets, you, being a woman, are ranked last!" The muscular Tania decisively rejected Alexis Rhodes's challenge.
"Even those two brats over there who don't have the Spirit Keys but are passable in appearance will be ranked ahead of you in the duel challenge order!" Tania pointed to Jaden Yuki and the short Syrus Truesdale.
Jiang He was somewhat surprised by what he saw.
Syrus Truesdale, that unlucky little bastard, is already small, only about half the height of that burly Tania. If he gets captured by them...
He simply couldn't imagine what that scene would be like...
"Of course, that fat guy who looks like a koala and that blond mushroom-headed man who doesn't look good are completely out of the question!" Tania suddenly added at the end.
"..." Chumley and Professor Crowler's faces darkened immediately, and they fell silent.
They didn't say a word, how did they get dragged into this?
