Chapter 17 Mecha Suppression
Dinosaur Ryuzaki let out a sigh of relief.

The Triangle Dragon was killed, but it was okay. Although it was a bit confusing, it was still within his expectations.

Ryuki has seen a lot of things. He had survived the time when his Red Eyes was turned into a fossil by a time magician in Dokudani Castle. Compared to that, this was just a small scene.

"But my turn isn't over yet."

Ryuzaki draws another card.

“I activate the continuous magic from my hand - Nightmare Mirage. This card allows me to draw cards from my deck during my opponent’s standby phase until my hand has 4 cards.

However, as a side effect, you must randomly discard the number of cards you drew during your preparation phase."

You Xuan had no expression on his face.

Well, it’s worthy of being the anime world. It played a perpetually banned card as if nothing had happened.

"Then two Gefu cards are covered in the backcourt, and the round is over."

It was You Xuan's turn to draw a card: "It's my turn then, draw a card."

"At this moment, the effect of 'Nightmare Mirage' is activated." Ryuzaki said, "I draw four cards from the deck."

As expected of the power of the banned card, Ryuzaki's hand, which had been emptied in one round, immediately returned to four cards.

However, You Xuan calmly played the card he drew: "Magic Card - Pot of Greed, draw two more cards from the deck."

It's like everyone has a few banned cards.

After drawing the card, You Xuan continued: "I will first summon this card I searched last turn."

The monster card was knocked onto the monster area of ​​the duel disk, making a crisp sound.

"Mechanical units - mechanical skeletons, in attack mode."

[Mecha Troops-Mechanical Skeleton, Attack Power 1800]

"Activate the effect of Mechanical Frame. When this card is successfully Normal Summoned, add a 'Mecha Unit' from your deck other than 'Mecha Unit - Mechanical Frame' to your hand."

"I see. The Peacekeeper that was defeated in the last round has the ability to retrieve the 'Mechanical Skeleton' when destroyed, and the 'Mechanical Skeleton' has the ability to retrieve the 'Fortress'.
So it seems that the arrangement of You Xuan from the beginning was for this 'Mecha Troops Fortress'!"

"It looks like things are going to get interesting," commentator Sasaki also said with a smile.

"I took this card from my deck."

You Xuan showed the card he drew from the deck.

".'Mecha Troops Fortress' is added to the hand."

He then revealed the Fortress and another monster card in his hand at the same time.

"Next is the effect of 'Mecha Unit Fortress'. This card is a 7-star Advanced Monster, but it can be Special Summoned from the hand or Graveyard by discarding Machine-Type monsters with a total level of 8 or higher from the hand.

I discard the Level 8 'Mecha Unit·Super Transformation' in my hand to the Graveyard, and Special Summon the 'Mecha Unit·Fortress' in my hand!"

A card was sent to the graveyard, and a heavy alloy fortress immediately jumped onto his field. The heavy metal tracks, light blue armor, and thick gun barrel seemed to be declaring that "caliber is justice".

[Mecha Troops·Fortress, Attack Power 2500]

"Fight." You Xuan said, "First, the 'Mechanical Forces Fortress' will attack the covered 'Triangle Dragon'!"

[Triangle Dragon, Defense 2350]

The huge main gun on the fortress slowly dropped down, locked the target, and loaded the ammunition. The heavy artillery fired from the barrel with a loud bang and a bright light, and the flying shells landed on the covered cards. The poor triangular dragon was blown to ashes with a loud bang before it could see the light of day again.

"Followed by a direct attack from the mechanical skeleton!"

The red mecha warrior kicked his feet, and the metal body flew forward in a transparent cyclone. Ryuzaki hurriedly covered his head and crouched to defend, but was still knocked to the ground by the impact of the alloy flying kick.

[Ryuzaki, LP 2600 → LP 800]

The audience was immediately in an uproar.

The returning legend faced off against the fledgling newcomer. It was thought that it would be a one-sided battle without any suspense, but who could have imagined that it would really be one-sided, but in the opposite way.

That dinosaur Ryuzaki was actually suppressed?

“This is truly an unexpected development.”

Even the commentator couldn't help but waver in his pre-match predictions after seeing this.

"It seems like things aren't going well for Ryuqi," said commentator Kotobuki.

"Indeed, he was completely suppressed on the field, and his health was only 800. On the other hand, You Xuan's LP has not moved at all until now."

【You Xuan, LP 4000】

Unable to help but check Yan Youxuan's unmoving LP again, commentator Sasaki couldn't help but frown. Is this really a newcomer?

From the previous matches to now, he has been killing his way through with a crushing attitude. Looking back at all his duels so far, he seems to have not felt any pressure.

Now even that dinosaur Ryuzaki can be suppressed to this extent.
Where did this unheard-of monster come from out of nowhere?

"Main Phase 2."

You Xuan's turn continues.

"Activate the other effect of 'Mecha Unit·Mechanical Skeleton'.

Once per turn, you can use this card as an Equipment Card to equip a Machine-Type monster on your field.

I equip the 'Mechanical Skeleton' to the 'Mechanical Forces Fortress' on the field."

The mechanical skeleton leaped up, and with a series of clanging transformations, it combined with the fortress.

"When the equipped monster is destroyed by battle or card effects, the Mechanical Skeleton can be destroyed instead." You Xuan said, "Also, once per turn, the equipped Mechanical Skeleton can be Special Summoned back to your side of the field."

"What an amazing combination!" said the commentator Xiaodu. "Not only can the mechanical skeleton retrieve the fortress from the deck, but it can also equip itself to the fortress to grant destruction resistance?"

"Not only that." Commentator Sasaki also commented, "But turning it into equipment also provides a layer of protection for the 'mechanical skeleton', so that the opponent cannot break through the mechanical skeleton with lower attack power.

Moreover, even if it is needed to launch an attack to assist in the kill in the next round, it has the ability to jump back to the field on its own."

"This combination of both offense and defense is too strong." The commentator Xiaodu couldn't help but say, "This Fujiki Yugen. Is he really a newcomer?"

Sasaki was also speechless for a moment.

"Cover two cards onto the field."

There were two more cover cards at Youxuan's feet. He looked up at the continuous magic in Longqi's backcourt and couldn't help sighing.

The deck he was currently using had three Wind cards in total, and any one of them could blow away the Nightmare Mirage before reaching the Quasi-Level. If it could be blown away, it wouldn't be a sure win, but it would definitely increase the chances of winning.

What a pity, I didn’t get to touch any of them.

It's another day when I want to learn to draw.
"The round is over." You Xuan said.

"Damn it, you really dare to hit me."

Ryuzaki gritted his teeth.

"When it's my turn, draw a card."

After the card drawing phase, Ryuzaki's preparation phase follows.

"At this time, the side effect of 'Nightmare Mirage' will be activated. Normally, I need to discard four cards in my hand. However!"

Ryuzaki directly opened up the backcourt.

"At this moment, I will activate the trap 'Reckless Greed'!
I can draw two cards from my deck, but the cost is that I have to skip the draw phase for two consecutive turns."

A card with huge benefits and equally huge risks. Ryuzaki used this to draw two more cards.

"Then follow up with the quick attack magic 'Extreme Food'!"

Ryuuzaki's second backcourt was also revealed.

"You can send all Spell and Trap Cards on your field except 'Unusual Food' to the Graveyard, and you will recover 1000 Life Points for each card you send!
I send the currently activated 'Reckless Greed' and 'Nightmare Mirage' to the Graveyard to restore 2,000 HP!"

The two cards disappeared together under the golden light in the backfield and turned into nutrients that were absorbed into Long Qi's body.

[Ryuzaki, LP 800 → LP 2800]

"Oh, this is a great move!" The commentator Xiaodu couldn't help but say, "First activate Reckless Greed, then chain traps to activate 'Unusual Food'.

Although the Trap Card has been activated, it still remains on the field when the effect of the 'Unusual Food' is resolved, and can also be used as the activation cost of the Unusual Food to restore health. "

"That's right. At the same time, I also used 'Unusual Food' to send 'Mirage of Nightmare' to the graveyard, avoiding the side effect of having to discard cards in my hand during the preparation phase."

The commentator Sasaki also nodded.

"Ryuzaki is still Ryuzaki after all. His dueling ability is undoubtedly strong."

Ryuzaki wiped his nose, seeming to be proud of his own masterful operation: "What a pity, it seems that your attack last round was in vain."

However, You Xuan's heart was calm.

He didn't think it was a high-end operation, but he wanted to ask Long Qi where he bought this 502.

He wanted to ask a long time ago, why in your animations, the "Mirage" and "Very Food" cards are always 502 together, and no one has ever missed one.
