Chapter 118: The Battle of the Weak
"My turn, gacha. The shrine maiden calmly drew a card from the deck and put the card she had just drawn into the dueling board, "I'll cover a magic card first." β
Seahorse said: "Do you really know how to duel? Why do you want to tell the type of cover card, it will be very convenient for the opponent! Or are you underestimating me?" When he said this, Seahorse was already a little angry, and he seriously duel with his opponent, but the other party didn't seem to care much, which had to make him think that he was being despised a little.
"You'll be using it soon, so you don't have to worry about it. I'm sorry if this hurts your self-esteem. The shrine maiden smiled, her expression gentle but serious, and it made the seahorse feel like a punch had hit the sponge, "Then, I activated the magic card, 'Grail A'." β
[Holy Grail A: Usually magical, effect: When activated, the card rotates, when it is positive, you draw two cards from the deck, and when you are reversed, the opponent draws two cards from the deck. γ
Above the shrine maiden's head, a magic card began to spin slowly, and eventually, it stopped in reverse position.
"It's a shame it's not in the right place. Then I can draw two cards from my deck. After drawing two cards from the deck, Seahorse said to the shrine maiden, "Your luck doesn't seem to be very good today, but fortunately, you still have a 'convenient ride' on the field, which can avoid the risk of this card......"
[Seahorse Seto: Hand 5β7, Deck: 32β30]
The shrine maiden smiled and drew two cards from the deck.
[Shrine Maiden: Hand 1β3, Deck: 33β31]
"Now, I'm going to play the second 'Holy Grail A'. "Above the shrine maiden's head, the Holy Grail magic card spun again, and this time, the result was, still, reversed!
"Do you want to give away the cards?" the opponent missed the Holy Grail Ace twice, which surprised the seahorse, but the seahorse still drew out these two cards unceremoniously, "It seems that your luck today is very bad." β
[Seahorse Seto: Hand 7β9, Deck: 30β28]
"I'm lucky or not, you'll find out soon. The shrine maiden still calmly activated the "Convenient Ride" and drew two cards from the deck.
[Miko: Hand 3β5, Deck: 31β29]
"Then I used the rush magic, 'Extraordinary Food', to send the 'Bento' on the field to the graveyard and recover 1,000 LP points for myself. The shrine maiden's fingers didn't stop, and she didn't hesitate to send the trap card she had on the field to avoid the risk of "Grail A" into the graveyard.
[Shrine Maiden: LP: 4000β5000, Hand: 5β4]
[Is there any purpose for resuming LP at this time?] Seahorse looked at a large number of his hand cards, ["Fusion", "Gigantic", and two "Blue-Eyed White Dragons" and many powerful dragon monsters...... With such a strong hand, she doesn't have any chance of winning as long as it comes to my turn, but she ...... Is it really just bad luck?]
The seahorse suddenly couldn't figure it out, but now he didn't have anything to do, so he had to watch the shrine maiden operate alone.
"Now, I'm going to close the two cards and activate the magic card I just covered. The shrine maiden flicked the button of the dueling disc and activated the magic card: "I activate the 'Codex Erasure'. β
"I see!" "I see!" Seahorse seems to have discovered the witch's tactic after sending all the cards in his hand unwillingly into the graveyard, "You first let me draw a lot of cards, and then use the 'Codex Erase' to deal with the powerful monsters in my hand!" But it's useless, my 'Blue-Eyed White Dragon' will be so strong that you can't imagine it even in the graveyard!"
Seahorse didn't feel too flustered when he looked at the "Dragon Mirror", "Swing of Memories", and "Orthodox Bloodline" that he had just drawn.
[Seahorse Seto: Hand 9, Deck: 28β19]
[Shrine Maiden: Hand: 4β2, Deck: 29β27]
"That's half right. The shrine maiden squinted her eyes and smiled at the seahorse and said, "Mr. Seahorse, I am very fragile, so I have not liked direct combat since I was a child. That's why I put together this deck that's suitable for underdogs like me. β
"'Weak'?" the seahorse looked at the shrine maiden with some surprise and smiled, "Weak, why are you fighting?" and I find it very funny that you call yourself 'weak'. β
"......" The shrine maiden was speechless for a moment, but still smiled at the seahorse, "Mr. Seahorse, what do you think the battle of the weak should look like?
"What else? The weak must use everything they have to find a way to become stronger, and if they don't become strong, they can't fight the strong! Because being weak is itself an original sin. "There is no other way for the weak to fight than to become strong." β
"But what if they go and fight the strong before they become strong?" the shrine maiden continued to ask.
"Get stronger, or die. Seahorse is convinced.
"However, these are just the weak ones who have the potential to become stronger, in other words, the 'protagonists' in the storybook. The shrine maiden shook her head and said to the seahorse: "The battle of the truly weak is to step on the corpse of a companion, exchange the momentary fatigue of the strong with his own body injuries, use his head to resist the fist of the strong, and then bite off a piece of the opponent's flesh, which cannot hurt the strong at all." Just like this deck of mine. I can tell you plainly Mr. Seahorse, in my entire deck, there is not a single card that can damage your LP in the slightest. β
β...... So how do you want to win?" Seahorse looked at the other man's expression, and if what she said was true, then this deck ...... And what's the threat?
"In my own way, with the card that suits me best......" Miko Maiden opened the monster that covered the field in the first round, "Turn over the covered monster, 'Transformation Pot'!"
[Transformation Pot: Effect Monster, Two Stars, Rock Clan, Ground Attribute, Attack Power: 700, Garrison Power: 600, Effect: Reversal: Discard all hand cards on both sides. After that, each player draws 5 cards from their deck. γ
A comical-looking pot appears in the dueling arena, and as soon as it is opened, its effect kicks in, forcing Seahorse to give up all of his cards and draw five cards from the deck.
[Seahorse Seto: 9 cardsβ 5 cards, deck: 19β14]
[Shrine Maiden: Hand 2β5, Deck: 27β22]
"You...... Want to cut my deck clean?!" Seahorse was surprised, looking at the deck that had obviously become a large layer thinner, he finally realized what his opponent was going to do now, but there was no way for him to solve the situation that continued to deteriorate!"No wonder you have to get rid of the 'multiplier' first, otherwise your deck will be drawn first......"
If a duelist can't draw a card because the deck doesn't have a card when he wants to draw a card, he will automatically lose!
"It's not over yet. The shrine maiden continued, "I used the 'Book of Moon' in my hand to turn the 'Transformation Pot' on the field back into a cover. Then, excluding the 'AD Changer' in the graveyard, I opened the transformation pot again and turned it into an attack sign. β
[AD Changer: Effect Monster, One Star, Warrior Clan, Light Attribute, Attack Power: 100, Garrison Power: 100, Effect: Remove the card that exists in the graveyard from the game, and select 1 monster that exists on the field to launch. The representation of the selected monster has been changed. γ
[Seahorse Seto: 5 cards, deck: 14β9]
[Shrine Maiden: 5 cards, deck: 22β17]
Then, there is the second, the Book of Total Solar Eclipse. The shrine maiden used another card in her hand, the same magic card she had used in the previous turn, covering her "Transformation Pot" and the three monsters on the hippocampus again.
"Then, there's the second 'AD Changer' in the graveyard. The "Transformation Pot" on the shrine maiden's field began to spin again, and the decks of the seahorse and shrine maiden were reduced once again!
[Seahorse Seto: 5 cards, deck: 9β4]
[Shrine Maiden: 5 cards, deck: 17β12]
"Stamp a card and the round is over. The shrine maiden finally finished her turn, but the seahorse had to draw three cards from the deck for this turn.
[Seahorse Seto: 5 cardsβ8 cards, deck: 4β1]
"I only have two cards left in my deck, but I have eight cards in my hand, and after the next round of card draw, I will be able to reach nine cards in my hand, so your tactics are a little worse after all. Seahorse said to the shrine maiden, although this tactic made him also break out in a cold sweat, but in the end, it did not end him.
"Is that so? On my field, there is still Zhang who has been ignored by you, the 'Apostle of the Tomb Guard'. The shrine maiden squinted her eyes and smiled, "Your deck status doesn't support your attack."
The seahorse looks at the little demon who seems to have been fighting soy sauce all his life, will this inconspicuous monster really become the last straw that crushes him?
"It doesn't matter if you win or lose...... Last round, draw cards!" At this time, Seahorse finally regarded the shrine maiden as a real opponent, and with the mentality of fighting the game and Bekas, he drew the last card in his deck!
[Seahorse Seto: Card Deck: 1β0]
