Chapter 340: Ojama Yellow Died Again, How Outrageous
[Hayato: 4000 LP, Hand 2]
[Armed Dragon LV10] [ATK 3000]
[Ojama Red] [DEF 1000]
[Ojama Yellow] [ATK 0]
[Ojama Black] [ATK 0]
[Set Card]
Looking at the four monsters on Hayato's Field as he ended his Turn, Joey Wheeler seemed quite surprised: "Hayato's really strong, huh? He actually managed to put four monsters on the Field in one go, and even Summoned that troublesome [Armed Dragon LV10]. This is going to be tough for Yugi Mutou."
"An idiot is an idiot. Did the appearance of [Armed Dragon] take up all the memory in your brain?" Kaiba, who didn't agree with Joey Wheeler's view, sneered, "Although Hayato has four monsters, those two Ojama Lackeys are in Attack Position."
"Leaving two backdoors with no DEF whatsoever, what is that Hayato guy thinking?"
At this moment, Yugi Mutou's thoughts were the same as Kaiba's. He was also unsure why Hayato would leave two Ojama monsters on the Field in Attack Position, even though their ATK was 0.
Since Ojama Yellow and Ojama Black are both Normal Monsters, Yugi Mutou didn't need to worry about them having any troublesome Effects, but he had to be wary of the Set Card in Hayato's Backrow.
The Pharaoh felt a bit helpless.
Although Hayato always called Yugi Mutou — specifically Original Yugi — a "Heavy Trap Dark Player," saying his Deck was full of Trap Cards, among those who often Dueled with Hayato, both Yugi Mutou himself and Joey Wheeler unanimously agreed that Hayato was the one who used the most "Heavy Trap Strategy."
What could that Set Card in Hayato's Backrow be? Sakuretsu Armor, Desert Sunlight, or Curse of Anubis?
Yugi Mutou put himself in Hayato's shoes for a moment, thinking about what kind of Card he would use from that perspective.
But no matter what, it was his Turn now.
"My Turn, Draw!"
He looked at the Card he drew; it was Mystical Swordsman of the Forest. Unlike the original version, the Normal Monster [Mystical Elf Swordsman], Mystical Swordsman of the Forest has the ability not to be Destroyed by Battle by monsters with 1900 or more ATK. It's a Card with excellent Strength for staying On the Field.
But the problem was, Hayato happened to have an [Armed Dragon LV10] On the Field, which could Destroy monsters with a Non-Targeting Effect by Discarding a Hand Card.
Helplessly putting Mystical Swordsman of the Forest into his Hand to use later, Yugi Mutou placed a Card in his Duel Disk's Spell & Trap Zone: "Activate the Spell Card Dark Magic Curtain! By paying 1000 Life Points, I can Special Summon one Spellcaster Type, DARK Attribute monster from my Hand or Graveyard."
[Yugi Mutou: 4000 → 3000 LP]
"Come forth, Dark Magician!"
As Yugi Mutou paid his Life Points, a Magic Circle appeared on the ground. Dark Magician leaped out of the Magic Circle with an incredibly stylish 360° mid-air spin, landing and catching the emerald green Staff that spun into his Hand, striking a very cool pose.
[Dark Magician] [ATK 2500]
After Dark Magician's appearance, Yugi Mutou's Summoning was far from over; rather, it was just the beginning.
"Because Dark Magician is On the Field, I Activate the Spell Card Master and Student Bond! I call forth Dark Magician's Disciple!" After playing a Card, Yugi Mutou added Dark Magician Girl from his Deck to his hand, then Special Summoned her. "Come out, Dark Magician Girl!"
With light steps, Dark Magician Girl leaped out of the Card, landing On the Field covering her short skirt. Seeing the Camera pointed at her, she playfully struck a cute pose towards the lens.
[Dark Magician Girl] [ATK 2000]
Mokuba, who was skilled at marketing, captured this moment and put the screenshot of Dark Magician Girl's cute pose on the KaibaCorp official website's introduction page for the "Virtual Projection System," placing the Dark Magician Girl Card next to it for comparison. As an added bonus, he also wrote a publicity slogan: "Want to see your beloved Cards come to life? KaibaCorp's Virtual Projection System helps you fulfill your dream!"
Others didn't know, but Maximillion Pegasus, who had finished his recovery and been discharged from the hospital and was watching the Livestream Feed on television, started having some bad thoughts — Dark Magician Girl is so cute~ It's decided, Me will also print a Toon version of Dark Magician Girl for Me~
"The subsequent Effect of Master and Student Bond: After Summoning Dark Magician Girl, I can Set one Dark Burning Magic, Dark Magic Attack, Dark Burning Attack, or Dark Magic Twin Burst from my Deck to my Backrow."
After Consuming three Cards from his Hand, Yugi Mutou had gathered the Master and Disciple pair, Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl, On the Field. However, they were still not a match for Hayato's [Armed Dragon LV10].
[Armed Dragon LV10] has a Powerful Effect that can Destroy all Face-up Position monsters On the Field without Targeting after Discarding a Hand Card. This means if Yugi Mutou cannot Destroy [Armed Dragon LV10] this Turn, his Next Turn will be a crisis.
Of course, Yugi Mutou wasn't without other options. For example — using the Dark Magician Master and Disciple he had already Summoned On the Field to Attack Ojama Yellow and Ojama Black in Attack Position on Hayato's Field, dealing enough Damage to defeat Hayato in one Turn.
Putting it another way, perhaps the best way to protect my teammates is to deal with the Enemy before they can harm my teammates?
"Entering my Battle Phase! Go, Dark Magician!" Yugi Mutou sharply waved his hand forward, pointing his finger at Ojama Yellow, who was hiding in the corner, Dueling Cards with Ojama Red and Ojama Black. "Attack Ojama Yellow!"
"Eek!"
Hearing that it had been Designated as the Attack Target, Ojama Yellow was startled. It shook off the white paper strips stuck to its face from losing at Cards and frantically tried to hide behind the tall [Armed Dragon LV10].
But when it turned its head, it saw the Card Hayato had Set last Turn. Even though it didn't know what Hayato's Set Card was, Ojama Yellow suddenly puffed up with Confidence.
"Hehehe, just come and Attack! Aniki has a Set Card in the Backrow!" Using extremely lively gestures to wantonly provoke the Dark Magician attacking towards it, Ojama Yellow perfectly demonstrated what it meant to "gain power through petty means" and "borrow a tiger's prestige."
Even though the Dark Magician, whose ATK far exceeded its own, had already thrown a pitch-black Magic Orb, Ojama Yellow remained unhurried, fawning over Hayato: "Aniki, it's the right time! Just for Me, Activate the Set Card, 'nye~"
"Huh? You're actually this proactive today?" Hayato looked at Ojama Yellow with some surprise.
"Hehehe, it's finally my time to shine! Let Ojama Yellow take care of Aniki's Enemy!" Ojama Yellow confidently spread its arms, waiting for Hayato to Activate his Set Card. "So, what Card did Aniki Set for Me? Rush Recklessly? Or Roar of the Earthbound?"
"Neither~" Hayato smiled and revealed his Set Card. "Actually, I didn't want to, but you're rarely this proactive. I Chain to Dark Magician's Attack and Activate the Quick-Play Spell Card Instant Fusion!"
Ojama Yellow's expression froze: "Na-Nani?"
"It's not a Trap Card for Attack Declaration or a Card to strengthen Me?"
"Send monsters from my Field to the Graveyard, and use the monsters Sent to the Graveyard as Fusion Material to Fusion Summon a monster! I Send Ojama Black and Ojama Yellow to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon Ojama Knight!"
A Fusion Vortex appeared On Hayato's Field. Ojama Yellow, who thought it would be a hero but ended up with the Destiny of being Sent to the Graveyard, and the slow-witted Ojama Black were sucked into it. The newly appeared Ojama Knight On Hayato's Field blocked the Attack from Dark Magician with a flick of the small round shield in its hand.
[Ojama Knight] [DEF 2500]
[Dark Magician] [ATK 2500]
Because their ATK and DEF values were exactly the same, [Ojama Knight] was not Destroyed by Battle, and Yugi Mutou did not take Reflected Damage.
The moment [Ojama Knight] was Summoned, Ojama Yellow and Ojama Black, in different outfits, appeared On Yugi Mutou's Field.
"That hateful Aniki, he sold Me out again!" Ojama Yellow said discontentedly, "I've decided, I'm defecting! I'm going to throw some dirt in Aniki's eyes!"
"Go, Yugi Mutou! Take down Aniki for Me!"
Ojama Yellow's voice was as loud as ever. Seeing the annoying Ojama Yellow and Ojama Black that had appeared On his Field, Yugi Mutou looked at Hayato with a troubled look, receiving a helpless shrug in return.
"Ojama Knight, while On the Field in Face-up Position in the Monster Zone, can Target up to two unused Monster Zones on the opponent's Field, making the Designated Zones unusable," Hayato explained. "However, Ojama Knight, which was Fusion Summoned by Instant Fusion, will be Destroyed at the End of this Turn. These two annoying pests will only Trouble you for this one Turn at most."
"I somewhat understand why you usually treat them so badly, Hayato." Even the Pharaoh couldn't maintain his expression at this moment. "Let's finish this quickly! Dark Magician Girl, Attack Ojama Red!"
Both [Ojama Knight] and [Armed Dragon LV10] On Hayato's Field had higher ATK than Dark Magician Girl's ATK. Although he couldn't deal Damage, Yugi Mutou still chose to Destroy Ojama Red in Defense Position first and Send it to the Graveyard.
What Yugi Mutou was guarding against was the Ojama archetype's Field Spell Card, Ojama Country, the one they remembered earliest. A Continuous version of Shield & Sword, it had to be guarded against.
However, what Yugi Mutou didn't expect was that Hayato, to prevent Bricks, simply didn't include Ojama Country in the Deck he was using this time.
