Chapter 1211: Light Judgement
Stardust Dragon was summoned!
"It's here, Stardust!" Jack looked at the starlight dragon that seemed to dominate the sky, "Sure enough, you can't miss this grand feast!
But even Stardust is no match for my very soul – Red Dragon Archfiend!"
Completely ignoring Jack's chuunibyou declaration, Yusei continued on his own: "Open the set card: Continuous Trap – Ultimate Offering! By paying 500 life points, I can Normal Summon or Set 1 extra monster.
I pay 500 life points to Normal Summon ‘Junk Synchron'!"
[Yusei, LP 2900 →LP 2400]
So the Junk Synchron finally couldn't escape the fate of working overtime. The little warrior in orange-red armor popped out and jumped onto the field.
[Junk Synchron, ATK 1300]
"Effect of Junk Synchron!" Yusei said, "When this card is Normal Summoned: I can target 1 Level 2 or lower monster in my GY; Special Summon that target in Defense Position, but negate its effects.
Special Summon the ‘Tuningware' in the graveyard!"[Tuningware, DEF 300]
"Level 3 Tuner ‘Junk Synchron', Level 1 ‘Tuningware', tuning!"
[3+1=4]
"Synchro Summon —
— Level 4, Armory Arm!"
[Armory Arm, ATK 1800]
"Armory Arm's effect – Once per turn, I can target 1 monster on the field; equip this card to that target." Yusei said, "I'll equip the Armory Arm to ‘Stardust Dragon'!"
Jack's face changed slightly: "It's actually a Synchro Monster that can be used as an Equip Card?"
"That's right! And the equipped monster's attack power increases by 1000 points! When the equipped monster destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the GY, inflict damage to the opponent equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK!"
[Stardust Dragon, ATK 2500 → ATK 3500]
"Stardust Dragon with an attack power of 3500 has surpassed the attack power of Red Dragon Archfiend!" Leo was excited.
"Not only that, if Red Dragon Archfiend is destroyed, Jack will also receive an additional attack power value – that is, 3000 points of damage," Luna said.
"A total of 3500 damage… Eh!?" Leo was surprised, "Doesn't that mean… Yusei won? He won over that king Jack!?"
Jack gritted his teeth: "You want to suppress me not only in strategy, but also in strength, Yusei!?"
But looking at his reaction…
"Jack's set card should be a reversal move," Yuei Vu said, "But since there is no response until now, it may be a trap triggered by the attack declaration… Of course, it may also be a free-timing trap like ‘Fiendish Chain'.
It's just that he wants to wait until you enter the Battle Phase and activate it after there are no other variables."
"There is this possibility." Yusei nodded and continued, "Then, activate the effect of ‘Tuningware' in the graveyard! When this card is sent to the graveyard as a synchro material, draw a card from the deck!"
After drawing another card, Yuei Vu couldn't help but sigh when he saw the new card: "Wow, you are worthy of it. You just drew a card that can eliminate variables at such a critical moment."
Yusei was stunned: "Mr. Yuei Vu, you mean…"
"Among the cards I gave you, there is one that can perfectly eliminate this variable." Yuei Vu smiled mysteriously, "Can you find out which one it is?"
Yusei's comprehension was already very high. He quickly went through the cards that Yuei Vu handed to him that he had never heard of, and soon remembered something.
Oh, if there is that monster now…
After making up his mind, Yusei took a deep breath.
"I use the effect of ‘Ultimate Offering' again, pay 500 life points to Normal Summon an extra monster!"
Jack's pupils shrank slightly.
"You actually want to continue to deploy?"
[Yusei, LP 2400 → LP 1900]
"I pay 500 life points and Normal Summon ‘Synchron Explorer' from my hand!"
[Synchron Explorer, ATK 0]
"When this card is Normal Summoned: I can target 1 ‘Synchron' monster in my GY; Special Summon that target, but negate its effects." Yusei said, "I Special Summon the ‘Nitro Synchron' in the Graveyard!"
[Nitro Synchron, ATK 300]
At this time, the benefits of Lightsworn's large number of graveyard dumpings were reflected again. Yusei's graveyard was very rich in resources, which is the basis for him to lay out the counterattack.
"Level 2 Tuner monster ‘Nitro Synchron', Level 2 ‘Synchron Explorer', tuning!"
[2+2=4]
Jack's face changed slightly: "Another four-star synchro?"
"Synchro Summon! Lend me your power again, Senior Yuei Vu——
——Level 4, Herald of the Arc Light!!!"
Enshrouded by the aura of synchro, the holy angel flew out from the starlight, and the holy white light poured down.
[Herald of the Arc Light, ATK 600]
"A small Synchro monster with only 600 attack power?" Jack frowned, "Summoning this kind of thing, Yusei, what on earth are you thinking?"
Although he said this, Jack was actually a little confused.
As a synchro monster, its stat is so shabby, which only shows one problem——
——There is something fishy about this thing!
Jack was right.
Herald of the Arc Light Light was more than just a trick…
This thing was simply a brutal and ruthless killer!
"Battle!" Yusei shouted, "Go, Stardust Dragon! Attack the ‘Red Dragon Archfiend'!"
Stardust Dragon raised its head, the energy of the Armory Arm was filled, and the surging starlight was mixed with golden energy flow, which filled into the open mouth of Stardust.
The sonic speed impact seemed to tear the starry sky apart, sweeping towards the Red Dragon Archfiend!
Jack was not to be outdone: "Red Dragon Archfiend, fight back! Absolute Powerforce!"
The confrontation between the two dragons, the power of the Signers on both sides was stimulated without reservation! The dragon mark was lit up like a branding iron, and the marks on the arms of the four people seemed to react to the collision of the two trump cards at the same time!
"At this moment, open the set card!"
Jack's eyes had turned red under the influence of the power of the Crimson Dragon, and the last trap flipped beside him.
"Trap Card ‘Prideful Roar'! During damage calculation, if my monster battles an opponent's monster with a higher ATK: Pay LP equal to the difference in ATK; my monster gains ATK equal to that difference plus 300, during damage calculation only!"
[Jack, LP 2100 → LP 1600]
"I pay the difference in attack power between Red Dragon Archfiend and Stardust, 500 points!" Jack shouted, "Red Dragon Archfiend's attack power increases!"
[Red Dragon Archfiend, ATK 3000 → ATK 3800]
"The attack power has surpassed Stardust!" Sister Aki said.
"But that Jack actually adopted such a tactic… Sacrificing life points in exchange for attack power?" Leo, a die-hard fan, was a little confused, "It's a bit unlike Jack's usual tactics…"
"Prideful Roar… this card is also Jack's own voice." Yuei Vu said on the side, "He betrayed his companions, gave up his past, and came to Neo Domino alone just to pursue power.
So he can't accept the fact that Yusei has not given up anything, but is still stronger than him…"
Yusei: "Jack…"
But reality is so cruel.
Because his name contained the Yu- prefix, and he had a seafood hairstyle. It's obvious that he would play cards better than Jack.
So just like President Kaiba who was cursed by the will of the universe and could never win against Yugi, Jack may not be able to escape such a fate no matter what…
"Herald of the Arc Light's effect is activated." Yusei said softly, "When a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, is activated: I can Tribute this card; negate the activation, and destroy that card."
"What!?"
Jack's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at the ugly and disappearing angel on Yusei's field in shock.
He did think that there might be something fishy about that thing, but he never thought it would be such a powerful effect!
It's just a level 4 monster, but it has the terminal power to cancel any effect!
"Prideful Roar's activation is negated." Yusei said softly, "So the attack power of the Red Dragon Archfiend remains the same."
[Red Dragon Archfiend, ATK 3800 → ATK 3000]
Jack was stunned.
Could it be that… I will lose to Yusei again?
"Stardust, attack!" Yusei gave the final command, "Shooting Sonic!"
The flames were crushed under the starlight, and the impact pierced through the chest of the Red Dragon Archfiend. The King's dragon let out an unwilling cry, but was still powerless and could only fall like a burning meteorite.
With the effect of Armory Arm, the Stardust Dragon would inflict damage equal to the attack power of the destroyed monster.
The total damage was 3500.
The King lost.
[Jack, LP 1600 → LP 0]
