Chapter 109 The Power of the Phoenix
Nephthys Phoenix God, summon!
However, even You Xuan could sense that although the summoned Phoenix God had a certain power fluctuation, it was mostly from the power that Shel had just absorbed from the statue. That card still had no spirit host.
However, in this world, all Duel Monster Cards that are not pirated or copied have certain extraordinary attributes even if they do not have elves hosted.
The monsters summoned by the duelist through each card have a relationship with the elves that is roughly equivalent to that of a projection and its original form, and to some extent can also be regarded as the elves' clones.
Sometimes when a duelist places a lot of affection on a certain card, he or she may naturally be attracted to the card held by the real elf host.
So it is possible for an ordinary card to suddenly become a spirit card.
"As long as 'Orichalcum's Barrier' is on the field, all my monsters' attack points increase by 500 points." Shel said, "Therefore, 'Nephthys Phoenix God''s attack points increase."
[Nephthys Phoenix God, attack power 2400 → attack power 2900]
Judai stared at the Phoenix God with a green mark on his forehead, frowning for a long time, and then couldn't help but ask: "Can't you feel that your monster is crying?"
"What if he heard it? What if he didn't hear it?" Shell said coldly, "All a duelist needs to consider is victory. The result of trusting someone is nothing more than being betrayed. In the end, a duelist can only trust himself."
"wrong."
Judai wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Sher: "You must be able to defeat me first. I will activate the magic card 'Nephthys's Hope'!
Select a 'Nephthys' card on your field and a card on your opponent's field, and destroy them.
I will destroy 'Phoenix God of Nephthys' and 'Elemental Hero Mudball Man' on your field!"
The Phoenix God was covered in flames and transformed into a firebird that swooped down towards the Mudball Man. In the burning flames, it and the solid elemental hero were turned into ashes together.
The aftermath of the flames swept over, and Judai raised his arms to protect his face: "Ugh, he actually sacrificed his own monster to die together with him."
Xie Er said: "Give a card, the round is over."
You Xuan: “Then it’s my turn, draw a card.
The effect of Thunder Dragon in your hand, discard this card from your hand, and add up to two Thunder Dragons from your deck to your hand.
Two cards are dealt to him, and he immediately plays another card from his hand.
"Magic Card 'Handbook Erase', both players discard all cards in their hands, and then draw the same number of cards from their decks."
The cards in hand are replaced, so that a large amount of light and dark resources are accumulated in the graveyard at once.
"Then I will remove the dark attribute 'Apprentice Magician' and the light attribute 'Thunder Dragon' in the graveyard from the game! The wizard who controls the power of light and darkness has arrived here now -
—Chaos Wizard, summon!"
Light and dark beams flew into the air, intersecting and sinking into the vortex. Chaos energy exploded, and the surging magic gradually transformed into a human form, and the chaotic wizard spun around and descended.
[Chaos Wizard, Attack Power 2300]
"It's actually the power of chaos. The students of the Duel Academy really have some incredible cards." Sher said coldly, "Then I activate the cover card, the trap card - Torrent Burial!
When a monster is summoned, destroy all monsters on the field!"
The trap card flipped over, and a blue torrent rushed out. The Chaos Wizard was shattered into a point of light in the rushing torrent as soon as he appeared.
Judai: "Ah, Youxuan's Chaos Wizard was..."
"It doesn't matter." You Xuan said, "Then I will use the effect of 'Trickster' in my hand. I can discard a card in my hand and directly special summon this card."
He sent a card in his hand to the Graveyard area, and the summoning circle opened, and a wizard with a question mark painted on his head appeared on the field.
[Trickster, Attack Power 2000]
"And the card I just discarded to the graveyard is the quick-play spell 'Silent Magic Blast'."
You Xuan drew out the magic card that was withdrawn from the graveyard.
"Remove 'Silent Magician Blast' from the game, and add a 'True Silent Magician' from the deck to your hand." You Xuan said, "True Silent Magician can be Special Summoned by Tribute a Magician-Type monster on the field.
I'll sacrifice the Trickster from the Mage clan on the field!
The silent wings of hope, the magician of light, appeared here—
——True Silent Magician, summon!"
The figure of the trickster disappeared in the magic circle, and the figure of the white-robed wizard revolved and stepped on the magic circle of light, with the staff spinning lightly in his hand.
[True Silent Magician, Attack Power 1000]
"The Silent Magician's attack power will increase by the number of cards in my hand x 500." You Xuan said, "I have three cards in my hand, so the attack power will increase by 1500!"
[True Silent Magician, attack power 1000 → attack power 2500]
"The Silent Magician's direct attack! Silent Magic Blast!"
The vortex of light gathered at the tip of the staff, and a magical ball of light exploded in Shell's face. Doma's swordsman was shaken and retreated half a step, but he stood firm under the impact of the real magic of light. [Shell, LP 8000 → LP 5500]
Judai raised his fist: "Very good! You dealt a lot of damage in one go!"
"A couple of times."
Shell moved his neck joints.
You Xuan drew three more cards.
"Put three more cards on the field, and the turn is over."
"It seems like you are not just ordinary students, so I have to be more serious in this case." Sher narrowed his eyes, "It's my turn, draw a card.
The moment it enters the preparation phase, the effect of 'Nephthys Phoenix God' that was destroyed in the previous round is activated first.
If this card is destroyed by an effect and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon it from the Graveyard during your next Standby Phase."
Sher raised his arms.
"The phoenix will be reborn from the ashes and burn everything with its blazing flames -
——Phoenix Goddess Nephthys, resurrect!"
The swirling pillar of fire shot up into the sky, and its golden wings spread out. Nephthys, the Phoenix God, was reborn from the ashes!
[Nephthys' Phoenix God, attack power 2400 → attack power 2900]
"And at the moment of rebirth, Phoenix God's subsequent effect is also activated." Shel shouted, "When Phoenix God is Special Summoned through its own effect, all Magic and Trap Cards on the field are destroyed!"
The Phoenix God let out a sharp cry, and it spread its wings, erupting into a storm of dancing fire, which turned into a flaming tornado that instantly swept across the entire venue!
"You actually have such a powerful ability." Judai said, "But, this will also destroy your own venue."
"The effect of 'Orichalcan's Barrier' cannot be invalidated, and once activated, it cannot leave the field in any form." Shell said coldly, "The end of this battle is that only one of our souls will become a sacrifice.
So the only thing that was damaged was your cover card."
He swung his arm and swept over the four covered cards on Yugen and Judai's field.
"So destroy all your cover cards!"
The flames of the phoenix swept across the entire field of Youxuan and Judai, and the four cover cards were blown up at the same time. He saw at a glance that two of them were covered with "Holy Shield-Mirror Power"!
"Hmm?" You Xuan and Judai looked at each other.
Obviously one of them is from You Xuan Gai and the other is from the Tenth Generation.
"Hahaha, sometimes everyone's choice of cards is very similar." Judai scratched his head.
In the original work, Judai also used Holy Defense. Not only that, in the early duel with Titan, Judai drew two Holy Defense cards out of the six cards he had in his hand, which is the only one in the entire history of Yu-Gi-Oh animation.
"It's a pity that our traps don't seem to have a chance to be used." Judai said regretfully.
"Not necessarily." You Xuan smiled.
The flames swept past, and three of the cover cards flew around a few times and then covered the cards again.
"What?" Sher frowned, "Why wasn't it destroyed by the Phoenix God's effect?"
"Because one of the cards I set was the Trap Card 'Pseudo Trap'."
You Xuan pointed at a Trap Card that was spinning in mid-air.
"When an effect that would destroy a Trap Card on your field is activated, you can destroy this card instead. All other traps on the field will not be destroyed."
If it was a real-life card game, the opponent could flip over the cards that were re-covered, but in this world duel, you couldn't walk up to the opponent and pull out the backcourt to take a look. Shel could only use the animation effect to see that the opponent now had two Holy Defense cards in the backcourt.
"Oh, as expected of the academy's trap master, You Xuan had already planned to clean up the backfield?" Judai laughed.
"Two mirror powers, it's really an iron wall formation." Shell said, "Then I still have effects to deal with in the preparation phase. The card in my hand that was destroyed by 'Nephthys Guardian' last turn was 'Nephthys Narrator'.
When the narrator is destroyed by an effect and sent to the graveyard, during his next standby phase, he can select a 'Nephthys' card from the graveyard and add it to his hand."
A card popped out of the graveyard and was drawn by Shell into his hand.
"I return the magic card 'Nephthys's Hope' to my hand."
Judai: "Ah, that troublesome magic again."
"Activate the magic card 'Nephthys's Hope'."
Shell played the magic card he had recovered again. The image of the magic card appeared in front of him, bursting out with dazzling flames.
"Destroy a 'Nephthys' card on your field and a card on your opponent's field!"
