Chapter 21: The True God Card (not gonna lie the end of this chapter is kinda weird)
If Silent Magician is a top-tier spellcaster.
Then Silent Magician LV8 is the pinnacle of this path.
Silent Magician LV8 and Silent Magician are very close in appearance and figure; calling them sisters wouldn't be an exaggeration.
[Silent Magician LV8, 3500 ATK, Spellcaster]
"3500 Attack Points!?" The Panther Lady's expression was horrified, beads of sweat the size of peas sliding down her wheat-colored skin.
"Silent Magician can activate its effect when it is destroyed by battle or card effect, allowing me to Special Summon Silent Magician LV8 from my hand or Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions," Yu Miao explained lightly.
"So what?" The Panther Lady's voice was loud as she shouted, "Summoning such a high-level monster now is meaningless! Since a new monster entered your Graveyard, suffer the damage from the Coffin Seller!"
Black electricity coursed over Yu Miao's entire body, and his Life Points continuously dropped.
"Urgh..."
[Yu Miao: 400 LP → 100 LP]
Locked at 100 Life Points? That's seriously awesome!
While 3500 ATK is terrifying, Amazoness Swords Woman only needs to bump into it once.
Not to mention the destruction effect of Amazoness Heirloom.
With only 100 Life Points, if any monster enters his Graveyard, Yu Miao is finished on the spot.
This duel would be over.
"End turn." The Panther Lady woman believed the goddess of victory would favor her side.
Suddenly!
A piece of music that stirred from the depths of his DNA began to play.
Yu Miao activated his exclusive Skill.
Playmaker, the theme music of the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS protagonist, began to heat up!
The Panther Lady's pupils dilated; her strong sense of crisis constantly warned her that an energy impossible to ignore was emanating from Yu Miao!
"What is this?" The leopard-print woman couldn't understand.
Yu Miao stood up and drew a card from his Deck:
"The moment you ended your turn, the outcome of this duel was decided by me."
"The equation for victory has gathered all its fragments. Draw card!"
Yu Miao, has your reversal killing move arrived?
Keith (Marik) stared intently at him, unwilling to miss a single moment.
"I banish the Trap Card, Breakthrough Skill, from my Graveyard!"
The Graveyard zone of Yu Miao's Duel Disk ejected a Trap Card – it was "Breakthrough Skill".
Playmaker loved Graveyard traps, and Yu Miao was no exception.
Because such methods are often hard to guard against.
"What!?" The Panther Lady and the Sunshine Boy were very surprised.
Activating a Trap Card from the Graveyard?
"That card was sent to the Graveyard by 'Card of Sanctity' earlier," Keith (Marik) stated with certainty.
In the early DM era, there were hardly any cards that could activate from the Graveyard by banishing, let alone Trap Cards.
Yu Miao's move was a dimensional strike that left them bewildered.
"By banishing Breakthrough Skill from the Graveyard, I choose to negate the effect of your Amazoness Swords Woman!"
Yu Miao didn't care if others were confused or not; he just wanted to experience the thrill of the duel and win this match right now.
Bzzzt~
Red electricity surged over the Amazoness Swords Woman; the whites of her eyes rolled back and she drooled.
"Oh no, Amazoness Swords Woman is negated and can't reflect battle damage back." The leopard-print woman realized this instantly.
But!
"The effect of Amazoness Heirloom is still active."
"Even if I take this damage head-on, Silent Magician LV8 will be devoured by the power of Amazoness Heirloom."
At that point, the leopard-print woman would still win this duel.
Yu Miao looked puzzled. Didn't Amazoness Heirloom's destruction effect only trigger when the equipped monster attacks? Was he being rule-sharked?
Forget it, it doesn't matter. Silent Magician LV8 will take action.
"Heh, sorry, I forgot to mention one thing."
"Silent Magician LV8 is unaffected by your Spell Card effects."
"Therefore, Amazoness Heirloom cannot budge her in the slightest!"
Since Silent Magician LV8 won't be destroyed by the Heirloom, the Coffin Seller's burn effect won't be triggered.
"Maintain the attack!" Yu Miao ordered decisively.
Silent Magician LV8 raised her staff, and a tremendous magical force blasted towards the Amazoness Swords Woman.
Silent Burst!!
Boom~
Silent Magician LV8 is unaffected by any Spell Card effects, but that doesn't mean the equipped monster's own "destroyed by battle" effect is negated.
The Amazoness Swords Woman remained on the field.
"Take this 2000 points of battle damage, and take it hard!" Yu Miao couldn't resist adding.
[Panther Lady: 2500 LP → 500 LP]
"Dammit, I still have Life Points. Next turn will be your end."
As long as Amazoness Swords Woman remains on the field, the effect of "Breakthrough Skill" will wear off next turn.
The leopard-print woman's expression was grim now; this was the first time she had been pushed this far in a duel.
"Sore wa dou kana?" (Is that so?)
"You won't have a next turn."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Miao revealed a Spell Card in his hand.
Hinotama!!
[Hinotama: Inflicts 500 points of effect damage to your opponent.]
The bane of low Life Points, Hinotama, enters the battle!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
A red glow appeared in the sky as three fireballs descended from above.
The scorching heat beat against the leopard-print woman's face; her eyes filled with despair!
Fireball, damn it.
BOOM!!
"Yamero!" (Stop!) She was instantly engulfed in the flames.
[Panther Lady: 500 LP → 0 LP]
Winner: Yu Miao!
[Duel Victory, 2x EXP event triggered...]
[Received Character EXP 6000, Received Gems 800]
[Congratulations on reaching Level 8, please collect your rewards...]
[Talent "Spirit Heart" triggered, proficiency for Dark Magician Girl and Gemini Elf increased...]
Yu Miao achieved final victory. The Sunshine Boy looked pleased; his mood instantly became exhilarated.
As expected, Yu Miao wouldn't fail here.
"Impossible, how could I lose..."
The situation was so favorable before.
Silent Magician LV8... there's actually a Monster Card that isn't affected by Spell Cards?
The Panther Lady was smoking all over, sitting paralyzed on the ground, looking utterly helpless.
The large, scantily clad men surrounding them all showed expressions of shock. They couldn't believe their female boss had actually lost a duel?
No, it's impossible.
Was their female boss going to be beaten into becoming a "punching bag"?
These guys had a peculiar style, causing another infuriating narration to appear before Yu Miao's eyes.
Phew~ You used your outstanding skill to conquer the woman before you. Her spirit has been crushed and conquered by you. You just need to show a firm side to obtain her tonight.
Go forth, Lord Yu Miao, let this woman witness your...strengths. Let her know one thing: you are not only skilled in dueling, but you are also impressive outside of duels!
Hehehe, this woman's feet are really nice. Perhaps putting them in your mouth would...
Yu Miao's whole body surged with excitement. He seemed to acknowledge this narration, even secretly glancing at the Panther Lady's toes splayed on the ground...
Plump, wheat-colored, like chocolate.
Kinda wanna taste...
Like hell!
Yu Miao couldn't help but look back, and sure enough, he saw Bull Blader holding up that broken sword again, "broadcasting" this damn narration.
"Damn Bull, how dare you corrupt my card enthusiast's heart!" Yu Maio couldn't take it anymore. He forcibly summoned Silent Magician and gave an order.
Beat this bull to death, beat it relentlessly.
Silent Magician tilted her head. She made a request: "I want to eat high-quality bread."
Bread?
Isn't that junk something you can just buy anywhere on the street?
Yu Miao agreed.
Silent Magician showed a serene smile, then picked up her magic staff and started fighting the "Bull".
Yu Miao initially thought Bull Blader would be easily dealt with by Silent Magician, but it turned out this bull had some tricks up its sleeve.
It managed to drag the fight out for several turns...
Unfortunately, the bull's power ultimately couldn't match Silent Magician's.
The Bull Blader was beaten, howling in pain.
