Mitsuzawa: "Nani!!??"
It's actually the Interdimensional Female Warrior...
[Interdimensional Female Warrior, Defense Power 1600]
As a good student, Mitsuzawa certainly couldn't forget, the effect of this guy is...
"Stop! I won't attack! Diamond Dragon, return!"
"Kida. The monster summoned by 'Enemy Attack Alert' must engage in a mandatory battle with the monster declared by the opponent!" Yugen said, "Then it's the effect of 'Interdimensional Female Warrior'!
After fighting with the opponent's monster, both monsters are removed from the game together!"
The Interdimensional Female Warrior leaped up and launched a sacrificial attack. She took the attack of the Diamond Dragon head-on, her long sword slashing through, space shattered, and a powerful gravity instantly sucked both the Diamond Dragon and herself into a swirling vortex, joining the journey with the teammates in the Other Dimension.
Mitsuzawa's eyes were about to turn red: "My Diamond Dragon..."
Diamond Dragon with Attack Power 4200, rounding up is practically an Obelisk...
"Uh... then I'll cover three cards and end my turn," Mitsuzawa said.
The breaking of the Royal Palace Notice signifies that his Underworld lockdown strategy has officially been broken. But thinking positively, at least he can use traps now. In this overwhelmingly disadvantageous situation, it might not be a bad thing.
There's still a chance!
"My turn, draw a card." Yugen said, "Activate the Speed Attack Magic 'Tornado' to destroy 'Nightmare Mirage Tower', so I don't have to discard my hand due to its side effect.
Then, in the battle phase. 'Meteor Black Dragon' launches a direct attack..."
"No way! The moment the battle phase is initiated, I activate a cover card! Trap Card 'Intimidating Roar'!"
Invisible sound waves erupted from the Trap Card, sweeping across Yugen's field. Meteor Black Dragon emitted a low roar, raising a dragon's claw to cover its ears.
Mitsuzawa: "During the turn when 'Intimidating Roar' is activated, the opponent cannot declare an attack!"
Yugen: "In that case, I will cover one Monster Card on the field and end my turn."
"My turn!
Activate the Magic Card 'Pot of Greed', draw two more cards from the deck."
Mitsuzawa drew the cards, frowning slightly, seemingly unable to draw a game-changing move.
"I'm going to take a gamble... open the cover card, Trap Card 'Thoughtless Greed'! At the cost of skipping the next two draw phases, draw two more cards from the deck!"
At this point in the duel, if he can't decide the victory in this turn, his chances of winning are already becoming increasingly slim.
It's a do-or-die situation!
"Open the cover card, Continuous Trap 'Call of the Living Dead'! Revive the attacking monster from the graveyard!" Mitsuzawa shouted, "I'll revive the card I discarded to the graveyard in the initial turn!
The ruler of the cosmos, the sovereign of thousands of worlds—
—Level Eight, Cosmic Queen!"
[Cosmic Queen, Attack Power 2900]
"Then activate the Ritual Magic from my hand, 'Litmus's Death Ceremony'!" Mitsuzawa shouted, "From my hand and on the field, use monsters with a combined level of over Eight-Star as a sacrifice to perform a Ritual Summon from my hand, 'Litmus's Death Swordsman'!
I sacrifice the Level Eight 'Cosmic Queen' on the field!
Cut through all darkness and evil with the sword! Ritual Summon—
—Level Eight, Litmus's Death Swordsman!!!"
The Cosmic Queen disappeared in the flames of the ceremony, replaced by the swordsman wielding twin swords, the red cape elegantly fluttering.
[Litmus's Death Swordsman, Attack Power 0]
"Litmus's Death Swordsman has an Attack Power of 0, but when a face-up Trap Card is on the field, its Attack Power rises by 3000!" Mitsuzawa said, "With the Continuous Trap 'Call of the Living Dead' on my field, the Attack Power increases by 3000!"
[Litmus's Death Swordsman, Attack Power 0→Attack Power 3000]
This was exactly Mitsuzawa's final trump card summoned in the original duel against Judai.
"I see," Yugen smiled, "'Litmus's Death Swordsman' is a Ritual Monster unaffected by any Trap Card effects and cannot be destroyed by battle.
So this is what you specially chose to fight me... is this the other strategy to deal with me besides the 'Royal Palace Notice'?"
"That's right, this is the trump card I selected as most suitable to decide the victory with you!"
"But I shouldn't need to remind you, even with a trap on the field, its Attack Power still doesn't surpass 'Meteor Black Dragon', right."
"I know!" Mitsuzawa said, "But this turn I haven't performed a normal summon yet
I am going to summon this card, also the monster on which I pin my hopes of victory—
—Imitation Illusionist!"
Only a One-Star Mage Race, holding a small mirror to cover its face.
[Imitation Illusionist, Attack Power 0]
"The effect of Imitation Illusionist can copy the original Attack Power and Defense Power values of a monster on the opponent's field! I will use this card to copy your 'Meteor Black Dragon'!"
The small Illusionist's mirror locked onto the mighty Black Dragon, mirroring the dragon's image, and the little magician instantly duplicated into the same massive Black Dragon form!
[Imitation Illusionist, Attack Power 0→Attack Power 3500]
The field instantly turned into a standoff between two Meteor Black Dragons!
"It's not over yet! Activate the Magic Card 'Double Attack'! Discard a Monster Card from the hand, and choose a monster on my field with a level lower than the discarded monster. This monster can attack twice this turn!"
Mitsuzawa sent a card from his hand to the graveyard.
"I discard the Level Eight 'Water Dragon' from my hand, and I choose the Level One 'Imitation Illusionist' on the field!
This turn, 'Imitation Illusionist' can attack twice!"
The crowd of students watching erupted in excitement once again.
From such a desperate situation, facing the absolute suppression of Chaos Power, Mitsuzawa Earth fought hard once again to find a way out!
