Chapter 1209: Three Steps Ahead!
"Watch out Yusei! This is a king's duel!" Jack was very arrogant.
"You dare to say that." Yuei Vu said leisurely.
Yusei said: "But Jack does have that ability. Jack, who has won all the way to now and kept his throne, is unquestionably strong."
"Relatively speaking." Yuei Vu smiled.
In fact, in his opinion, the fledgling protagonists of 5DS were all cute newbies, and their strengths were about the same.
After all, even the Red Dragon Archfiend, a useless white monster that card masters didn't even want when given away for free, was actually the ace of the deck. This also showed that Jack's early deck was weak.
As he remembered, the Red Dragon Archfiend card was once given as a gift with a comic magazine. The magazine cost 250 yen, in other words, Jack's very soul was worth this price.
Therefore, "Jack's very soul costs 250 yen, including shipping fee" had become a popular topic among card players.
Everyone liked to complain that Blue-Eyes White Dragon was a noble Normie. If there was no supporting card, it was useless except for 3,000 attack points.
However, you must admit that in many cases, Blue-Eyes White Dragon was more useful than Jack's Red Dragon Archfiend.Because Blue-Eyes was just a blank card with 3,000 attack points, while Red Dragon Archfiend actually had side effects. During its turn on the field, all monsters on the field that had not declared an attack must self-destruct.
This side effect was simply stupid…
Jack turned over a card in the backfield: "Open the set card: Trap Card – Revival Gift! Special summon a Tuner monster in my graveyard! But the monster special summoned by this effect will have its effect negated."
He drew the card that was withdrawn from the graveyard area and put it on the duel disk.
"Come back to the field, Dark Resonator!"
A black vortex opened up on the side of the speeding Wheel of Fortune, and the red-eyed demon holding a tuning fork flew out onto the field with a sly grin.
[Dark Resonator, ATK 1300]
"The second effect of Revival Gift." Jack continued, "Special Summon two ‘Gift Fiend Tokens' on the opponent's field!"
[Gift Fiend Tokens, DEF 1500] x2
Looking at the two tokens that popped up on his field, Yusei frowned slightly: "This tactic is…"
As old friends who have been together for many years and know each other well, Yusei naturally knows Jack's tactics well.
Red Dragon Archfiend had the ability to "destroy all defense position monsters on the opponent's field when attacking", so Jack was not afraid that sending two tokens to the opponent would lay the groundwork for the opponent to use them as Tributes or Synchro Materials in the next round.
Jack now had a level 3 Tuner "Dark Resonator" and a level 5 "Vice Dragon" on his field, for a total level of eight. So there was no doubt that he would Synchro Summon his trump card, Red Dragon Archfiend!
"Yusei, trap it." Yuei Vu said.
"I know." Yusei pressed the button on the duel disk and turned over the card beside him, "Trap Card ‘Fiendish Trap Hole'! Destroy one monster Special Summoned through a card effect!" (manga card)
"Special summon by the effect of a card?" Jack said in a deep voice, "Dark Resonator is through the effect of ‘Revival Gift'…"
"That's right," Yusei said, "So ‘Dark Resonator' is destroyed!"
The poor Resonator didn't even stand firmly before a black hole opened up under his feet, and a black and hideous claw grabbed it, and dragged it into the deep black hole with a scream.
Jack frowned as his tactics were interrupted: "You actually played these tricks on me. Then, I will use the ‘Vice Dragon' on the field as a sacrifice! Tribute Summon! Show up–
–Level 6, Strong Wind Dragon!!!"
The Vice Dragon turned into a colorful halo and disappeared, and a brand new dragon emerged from the halo. It was a blue dragon, and its wide wings fanned a transparent storm.
[Strong Wind Dragon, ATK 2400]
"Strong Wind Dragon's effect!" Jack shouted, "If this card is Tribute Summoned by Tributing a Dragon-Type monster: It gains ATK equal to half the original ATK of the Tributed monster!"
"The ATK of Vice Dragon is reduced to 1000 points after the summon due to its own effect." Yusei said, "But if it is tributed to summon Strong Wind Dragon, its ATK will still be calculated based on the original 2000 points."
"That's right! Therefore, Strong Wind Dragon's attack points increase by 1000!"
[Strong Wind Dragon, ATK 2400 → ATK 3400]
"Wow! Even if the summoning of Red Dragon Archfiend was interrupted, he continued to summon monsters with attack points even higher than Red Dragon Archfiend!" Leo began to worship his idol, "Jack is so strong!"
"Jack Atlas is indeed a strong man who deserves the title of King."
Izayoi Aki acknowledged Jack's strength in her heart, and looked at Yusei with some concern.
"Is Yusei okay?"
The girl didn't realize that she had turned into Brother Crabhead's fan without realizing it…
"Battle!" Jack shouted, "Strong Wind Dragon, tear Yusei's monsters to pieces!
Strong Hurricane!"
The Strong Wind Dragon roared and flapped its wings to launch an attack. But Yusei swept his arm and blocked its attack by opening the backcourt.
"Open the set card: Continuous Trap – Fiendish Chain!" Yusei said.
"What!?" Jack's pupils shrank.
Damn, isn't that my card? Yusei, how come you have this thing too?
Yes, that's right. When Fiendish Chain first appeared in the animation, it was Jack's card. Yusei should not have it in the original work.
So the Fiendish Chain in Yusei's hand here, needless to say, was naturally stuffed into him by Yuei Vu.
In the case of Riding Duel when most Spells were unusable, staple traps like Fiendish Chain would appear particularly fierce.
"Monsters bound by the ‘Fiendish Chain' cannot declare an attack, and the effect is also negated." Yusei said, "So the effect of ‘Strong Wind Dragon' is negated, and it cannot launch an attack!"
Seeing his attack blocked again, Jack gritted his teeth in anger: "Damn Yusei, did you set so many traps?"
Leo couldn't help but say: "Yusei is also very strong. That Jack's attacks were resolved one after another like this"
"But it's not over yet! This level of traps has long been within my calculations!"
Jack stepped on the accelerator.
"I told you before, Yusei? The duel of a true king should be three steps ahead of the opponent! Even in this situation, I have been prepared! This is what a true king should look like!"
As he said, he waved his hand and another face-up card flipped.
"Trap Card ‘Synchro Call'!"
Yusei narrowed his eyes: "That card is…"
"Target 1 monster in my Graveyard; Special Summon it, but its effects are negated!" Jack shouted, "Then, immediately after this effect resolves, Synchro Summon 1 DARK Dragon or Fiend-Type Synchro Monster using only monsters I control as Materials, including the Summoned monster!"
"DARK Dragon-Type Synchro Monster…" Long Ke whispered to himself.
"Red Dragon Archfiend!" Leo was very excited, "Jack's trump card is coming!"
"I resurrected the monster discarded by ‘Angel Baton' from the graveyard! Show up, level 2, Tuner monster ‘Force Resonator'!"
[Force Resonator, DEF 500]
"Level 2 Tuner ‘Force Resonator', plus level 6 ‘Strong Wind Dragon', tuning!"
[2+6=8]
"The ruler's heartbeats will now file through here! Take witness to its creation-shaking power!"
Jack shouted with full power.
"Synchro Summon! My very soul–
Red Dragon Archfiend!!!"
