Chapter 1096 - 1069: Lock Ring Dragon
"M... My turn..."
Takasumi stood up, his body trembling, slowly reaching for the card deck on the Duel Disc.
But before drawing a card again, he hesitated for a moment.
Should... surrender?
Though he always tormented the criminals in the asylum, taking pleasure in their screams, he himself had never experienced such treatment. After all this torment, he was nearing his limit, his mind on the brink of collapse.
During this time, he had more than once thought about just giving up.
Surrender. If he gave up, he wouldn’t have to suffer anymore, enduring such torture.
But then again...
An exceptional promotion, this was likely... no, it must be the only chance in this lifetime.
Moreover, he only had 500 Life Points left. Even if he couldn’t win ultimately, the opponent could probably only shock him one more time, as this flickering life could end with just one more damage.
On the other hand, if he gave up now, wouldn’t all the suffering he’d endured be for nothing?
Besides, despite fighting till now, the opponent’s Life Points were still at 3900, which could barely be considered a scratch...
Takasumi gritted his teeth.
If he gave up on today’s duel, given their status disparity, he’d surely never dare to seek revenge on his superior for today’s electrical torture. Thus, this duel was his only chance.
"Draw!"
With these thoughts, Takasumi’s fighting spirit was reignited.
"Normal Summon the Adjusted Monster ’Chain Coil Man’!"
[Chain Coil Man, Attack Power 1100]
"An Adjusted Monster," Yugen said, "Oh? Are you going all out?"
"Indeed, this turn I want the superior to see my full power!"
Takasumi said.
"Next, I’ll activate the Monster Effect of ’Chain Repairman’!
Once per turn, Repairman can Special Summon a ’Chain’ monster that is below 4-star level, except for ’Chain Repairman’, from the graveyard!
Revive ’Chain Binding Snake’ from the graveyard!"
The Repairman threw out an iron chain, which sank into the ground from the side, soon dragging the previously retired Binding Snake back onto the field.
[Chain Binding Snake, Attack Power 800]
"The ’Chain Repairman’ that has used this effect can’t attack this turn," Takasumi said, "so I will switch ’Chain Repairman’ to Defense Position."
[Chain Repairman, Attack Power 1600 → Defense Power 1200]
The Repairman now had the protection of "Soul Anchor" and "Metal Shell", unable to be destroyed by battle or card effects. With dual-resistance, it was indeed an indestructible wall in Defense Position.
"Then Level Three Adjusted Monster ’Chain Coil Man’!
Level Three ’Chain Binding Snake’!
Star-Tuning!"
[3+3=6]
"Synchro Summon——
——Chain Lock Ring Dragon!"
In the Synchro halo, starlight was released, crashing to the ground, and from that starlight emerged a massive, heavy metal chain. The chain struck the ground with a clang, sparks flying everywhere, as a huge dragon entwined with chains soared out of the radiance!
[Chain Lock Ring Dragon, Attack Power 2500]
"Oh," Yugen said, "so this is the ace of the Chain Card Deck?"
"Indeed, and Lock Ring Dragon’s Attack Power increases by 200 times the number of ’Chain’ monsters in my graveyard!" (Original effect)
The physical card was adjusted to require banishing all ’Chain’ monsters from his graveyard from the game, increasing by 200 per monster only for the turn, significantly weakened.
Takasumi said, "Now I have ’Chain Binding Snake’ and ’Chain Coil Man’ in my graveyard, so the Attack Power increases by 400!"
[Chain Lock Ring Dragon, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 2900]
Takasumi said, "Next, I activate the Continuous Magic ’Paralysis Chain’!
As long as this card exists on the field, every time a card effect sends cards from the opponent’s deck to the graveyard, the opponent takes 300 damage!
And now, battle! ’Chain Lock Ring Dragon’, attack ’Seven Sword Warriors’!"
Lock Ring Dragon’s breath shattered the warrior’s armor. Though the Seven Sword Warriors put up a momentary resistance, they ultimately lacked strength, soon exploding and shattering under Lock Ring Dragon’s breath.
[Yugen, LP3900 → LP3300]
Takasumi eagerly watched the same electric current attack the superior, impatient to see the superior’s disgraceful reaction. However, the superior merely smiled, calmly closed his eyes, letting the current flow through him, without much reaction.
Takasumi was immediately startled.
Could this superior not feel pain? Was he a monster?
No, the damage must not be enough.
"At this moment, Lock Ring Dragon’s effect!" Takasumi continued, "When destroying an opponent’s monster by battle, send cards from the top of the opponent’s card deck to the graveyard equal to that monster’s Star Level!
The Seven Sword Warriors are Level Seven, so send seven more cards to the graveyard!"
Again seven cards flew from the top of Yugen’s card deck, cascading into the graveyard.
"At this moment, Continuous Magic ’Paralysis Chain’s effect!" Takasumi said, "Since cards were sent from the card deck to the graveyard, inflict 300 damage!"
[Yugen, LP3300 → LP3000]
Yugen calmly closed his eyes again, still without any reaction.
"This guy..." Takasumi swallowed.
Does he truly feel... nothing?
"Is that all?"
Yugen lifted his eyes, smiling.
"T... turn end."
"Hmm, then it’s my turn."
Yugen said.
"My turn, draw a card.
During the preparation phase, the Magic Card ’Take Over5’ effect in the graveyard. Remove this card and the same-name card from the card deck out of the game, then draw a card from the card deck."
Yugen drew another card.
"Then Normal Summon ’Leaf Fairy’."
A small green fairy jumped onto the field, standing with hands on hips. Its entire body seemed composed of leaves, its head a large leaf shaking as if swaying in the wind, looking as if it might be blown away at any moment.
[Leaf Fairy, Attack Power 900]
"Then activate the Continuous Trap ’DNA Surgery’, turning all monsters on the field into a race that you declare."
Yugen snapped his fingers, and the backfield flipped over.
"I declare Warrior Race.
Change all monsters on the field to Warrior Race."
Takasumi was puzzled, "Turn them all into Warrior Race?"
"Yes." Yugen smiled, "Then activate this card——
——Equipment Magic ’Divine Sword - Phoenix Sword’!
This card can only be equipped to Warrior Race, increasing the equipped monster’s Attack Power by 300. I equip this card to the ’Leaf Fairy’ transformed into Warrior Race."
[Leaf Fairy, Attack Power 900 → Attack Power 1200]
Takasumi was bewildered.
Transform the race just for this? A mere 300 Attack Power boost, what significance does this have?
