Chapter 278 Breakthrough LOCK

Are we going to lose?
Wanzhang was stunned for a moment as he looked at the formation in front of him that was like a solid wall of steel.

The feeling of powerlessness that I had when facing You Xuan before, the feeling that I couldn't do anything and that everything I did seemed to be in vain, came back again.

He had gone through so much hardship and had become stronger. He had crawled back from the depths of hell and had vowed not to make the same mistake again.
In the end, it turned out that the gap between him and the other party didn't seem to have narrowed at all.

Manjomu had of course also thought of Misawa's analysis. It seemed that the only thing he could do now was to command the derivatives to commit suicide at the cost of a large amount of health points.

But at the same time, he had no doubt that You Xuan had also arranged a countermeasure for this move. Even without trying, he had a hunch that the success rate of doing so was very small.

He is already powerless.
Almost subconsciously, Wanzhangmu turned his head to look at the audience again.

Then he met the angry faces of his two brothers. Without any direct communication, he seemed to hear his brothers' voices again.

"What the hell are you doing, Jun?"

"Forget it, you're the last one among us brothers anyway. It's my fault. I shouldn't have given you so much expectation."

"Perhaps you were born to be with the lower class."

"."

No, it shouldn't be like this.

Why is he the last among his brothers?
Wanzhangmu clenched his fists.

No, it's not over yet. This duel, this duel alone, he must not lose!

"My turn!"

Wanzhangmu raised his head again, and when he looked at the invincible blockade in front of him, the fighting spirit in his eyes was rekindled.

That is the burning fighting spirit of a challenger when facing an insurmountable peak.

This time, you’re risking everything on the card draw!
"Draw a card!"

Wanzhang's pupils contracted and he raised the card he drew high in the air.

"Magic Card——

——My courage!”

"Oh?" You Xuan narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.

Things are getting interesting.

Manjomu shouted, "Mini Courage, activate by sacrificing a monster on your field. Choose a monster on your opponent's field, and its ATK becomes 0 until the end of the turn!"

"Great!"

Misawa stood up from his seat and couldn't help but praise.

"There's actually this trick. Yes, even I didn't expect it."

"But with Ice Blade on the field, all the card effects are invalidated." The poor student Maru Fujisho was still confused, "Won't magic cards also be invalidated?"

"Ice Blade can indeed negate any card's effect." Asuka explained, "but it only negates the card's 'effect'. However, 'Sacrifice a monster on the field' is the activation cost of 'Mini Guts', not the effect.

The activation cost of a card cannot be negated."

"That's right. As long as one of the three Disruption Tokens is sacrificed as the activation cost, the three monsters will become two, and the full seal effect of Ice Blade will be invalidated." Misawa explained, "In this way, when the effect of 'Mini Courage' is processed, the number of monsters on the field of Manzhangmu will become two.

In this way, the Ice Blade's ability to 'negate all card effects' will be invalid."

As he spoke, he looked towards Wanzhangmu with some admiration.

"Manzhangmu, who came back from the Northern Academy, is indeed a completely different person. He actually found hope in this almost impossible situation. He has now surpassed his past self."

"."

"I sacrifice a Disruption Token to reduce the attack power of your Disruption King in attack position to 0!" [Disruption King, attack power 3000 → attack power 0]

The disturbing yellow elf on Wanzhangmu's side floated out again and actually began to plead with the other side: "Ah, brother, don't hit my brother! Or at least don't hit him in the face."

"roll."

Wanzhangmu let out a long breath.

He couldn't help but glance at the seats of his two brothers in the audience.

This time, the two brothers' faces finally brightened up and showed a hint of approval.

Yes, I have already decided not to be the last one among my brothers.

Wanzhang's eyes were firm.

He wants to use his own hands to take back his own position!
You Xuan smiled and nodded: "Of course, you even cracked the Ice Blade LOCK, you are quite capable."

"Hmph, your composure ends here." Manzhangmu said, "Because I have two monsters on the field, the effect blockade is lifted!
I activate the magic card 'Bargain Shopping'!
Discard a Level 8 monster from your hand and draw two cards from your deck! "

Wanzhangmu sent a card to the graveyard and then drew two cards.

"Next is the magic card 'Angel's Charity'. Draw three cards and discard two cards from your hand!"

After the blockade was lifted, Wanzhangmu immediately accelerated and drew cards crazily as if in revenge.

Of course, he did not forget that the crisis had not been completely resolved. Although the seal was temporarily lifted, as long as he summoned another monster, the number of monsters on the field would return to three, and Ice Blade Lock would take effect again.

"Then this card will completely shatter your sinister formation—"

Manjomu raised a card in his hand and shouted.

"Magic Card 'Black Hole'! Destroy all monsters on both sides' fields!"

The collapsed celestial body emerged, and the entire field space was distorted. The derivatives on the Wanzhangmu field, the Disruption King and the Ice Blade Hand on Youxuan's side were all sucked into the shattered celestial body and crushed into pieces.

"Then, destroy the effects of the two 'Disruption Derivatives'." You Xuan said, "When the derivatives are destroyed, each one will give you 300 points of damage."

【Manamoku, LP 4000→LP 3400】

"But this way the scene will be cleared again."

Wanzhangmu shouted.

"Then activate the magic card 'Level Adjustment'!
The opponent draws two cards from his deck, and in exchange I can Special Summon a 'LV' monster in the Graveyard regardless of the summoning conditions! "

Monster cards are removed from the Graveyard.

"Therefore, I revive this card in the Graveyard! It returns to my field once again—

——Armed Dragon LV7, coming again! "

The storm is coming, and the armored dragon with steel bones is back!

[Armed Dragon LV7, attack power 2800]

"LV monsters summoned by the Level Adjustment effect cannot attack or activate their effects this turn.

But! I want to sacrifice the 'Armed Dragon LV7' on the field and let it evolve and upgrade further! "

The figure of the Armed Dragon LV7 turned into golden light and dissipated. A storm rolled up, and the dragon's body rapidly expanded and evolved in it. The blazing red light cut through the sky, and a huge figure slowly emerged in the violent whirlwind.

The hard dragon scales and sharp metal armor flashed with a cold light. The howling wind turned into a vortex of air, swirling around the dragon's body like a vassal. The hot red light flashing in its eyes was like two burning flames.

"Ultimate Armed Dragon, Armed Dragon LV10, summon!"

[Armed Dragon LV10, attack power 3000]
