# Chapter 805: Pure Triamid Deck
“【Triamid】?” Hayato glanced at Ozymandias, thinking to himself, "What's with this guy? Why does he change Decks all the time? He's too fickle." Oh, wait, so am I. Never mind.
As for 【Triamid】, Hayato had a rather deep impression of this Deck. After all, even if most Decks have their Archetype's Field Spell Card, in most cases they are played and not replaced. However, the 【Triamid】 Deck rapidly replaces its Field Spell Cards as if they were disposable items.
Using different Field Spell Cards depending on the situation, that's the kind of Deck 【Triamid】 is. And the Effect of the Card 【Triamid Cruiser】 can be considered the 【Triamid】's Play Starter, possessing the Ability to swap cards and perform Deck Searching.
“You want to Search a Field Spell Card from your Deck? Muda Muda Muda, I Activate the Effect of 【Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring】 in my Hand, discarding her to Negate the Effect of 【Terraforming】!”
Not wanting Ozymandias to gain Card Advantage, Hayato Sent the 【Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring】 from his Hand to the Graveyard. The short yellow-haired old woman... I mean, young girl with cat ears and an orange bow delivered a flying kick, stomping out the orb of light of the yet-to-be-played 【Terraforming】 on Ozymandias's Field.
“Hehehe, do you dare defy me, Urara?” 【Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring】 said proudly after her Effect Activation was successful and wasn't hit by Cards like 【Called by the Grave】. Then Hayato reached out and pressed her back into the Graveyard, as she had lost her usefulness.
He didn't know why, but ever since Ozymandias suddenly wanted to Duel Hayato, Hayato, who had been separated from his Card Spirits for a long time due to entering the Memory World, felt the Spirits again. Receiving their response, he was able to go all out this time, which included the 【Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring】 he had just used.
However, seeing Hayato use the 【Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring】 Card, Ozymandias wasn't surprised at all. There was a special connection between him and Hayato; Hayato had just seen his past memories, and he also knew about Hayato's experience in the Real World. He was also aware of the Effect of the 【Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring】 Card.
And precisely because he was aware of the Effect of 【Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring】, he specifically used 【Terraforming】 to bait out the 【Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring】 in Hayato's Hand.
“Heh heh, in that case, I will directly Activate the Field Spell Card Triamid Cruiser from my Hand.” In Hayato's surprised gaze, Ozymandias played the second Triamid Cruiser he had in his Hand. “Witness the Pharaoh's divine might, hehe, hehe hahahaha!”
As the Card was placed in the Field Zone on the Duel Disk, the ground beneath Hayato and Ozymandias was replaced by a Desert. At the same time, a huge shadow was cast over the two of them, rapidly growing larger.
Hayato looked up and found that a giant Pyramid was falling from the sky?
Who's just tossing their tomb around?!
The giant Pyramid seemed to be falling as if to crush both Hayato and Ozymandias into meat paste. However, just as it was only dozens of meters from the ground, its outer appearance suddenly cracked open with gaps, and its various components moved, deformed, and reassembled. Cannon barrels extended one by one, and at the same time, the interior energy circuits were exposed on the outside. The giant Pyramid transformed in the blink of an eye into a huge cruiser tank flying suspended in the air.
“Hmph, you're scared just by witnessing one of my countless great deeds? Past, present, future, all Temples exist for this body.” Ozymandias's corner of mouth curved up, and he said contemptuously, “Bow down!”
“You've been dead for thousands of years, haven't you had enough dreams in the Underworld?” Hayato retorted without any politeness, looking at Triamid Cruiser. How could he not tell that Ozymandias was deliberately trying to trick him into using the Effect of 【Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring】 before? Having 【Cruiser】 in his Hand, he actually had no need to use 【Terraforming】 at all.
“I am not one of the dead, Idiot. Do not compare me, who will forever shine, with the Souls sunk into the sea of sand,” Ozymandias frowned and said. “Could it be that even now, you still haven't figured out what the Item you used before did? Huh? There's a limit to how slow-witted you can be.”
“That Item called ‘【Phantom Blood】’, connected with me when my physical body reached its limit. It even offered the tempting condition of being able to bring back Nefertari, who left me early, by weakening the power I had brought back. Truly utterly sinful, to dare tempt me, tempt me, Ozymandias, whom even the Almighty God feared.”
“If not for this point, do you think I would have responded to your Summon? Even though you and I are...”
He paused for a moment, then Ozymandias waved his hand dismissively, “Forget it, that's not important. I'd rather see if someone as foolish as you will feel fear when you witness this move.”
“From my Hand, I Normal Summon this Monster, 【Triamid Hunter】. Then, because of the Effect of Triamid Cruiser, whenever a Rock-Type Monster is Summoned, my Life Points Recover by 500 points.”
“And when a 【Triamid】 Monster is Summoned on the Field, I Activate the second Effect of Triamid Cruiser: I Draw a card from my Deck, then discard one Card from my Hand.”
On Ozymandias's Field appeared his first Monster. It wore a golden jackal helmet covering its face, held an "Ankh" Rune symbolizing life in one hand, but in the other hand held a scythe that looked like it was used to harvest life, filled with the aura of death.
【Triamid Hunter】 【Level 3 / EARTH】
【Rock-Type / Effect】
【1400 / 1100】
In terms of 【Triamid Hunter】's Stats, it clearly looks like a Small Fry monster. It looks like it's just a Small Fry monster with an ATK of less than 1500 points. However, Hayato knew that the Monster itself wasn't the Key Point. The Key Point is that it has the Ability to Grant the Duelist a second Normal Summon of a Rock-Type Monster when a Field Spell Card is present.
【Ozymandias: 4000 → 4500 LP】
Triamid Cruiser cast down supporting energy recovery to Recover Ozymandias's Life Points. At the same time, he Drew a Card from his Deck, selected one, and discarded a Card from his Hand.
After changing his Hand, Ozymandias waved his hand: “When a Field Spell Card is present in Face-up Position on my Field, because of the Effect of 【Triamid Hunter】, I Summon this Monster from my Hand for the second time, 【Triamid Master】!”
“Recover 500 Life Points!”
Another Monster jumped out from Ozymandias's Hand, once again Recovering Ozymandias's Life Points by 500 points.
【Ozymandias: 4500 → 5000 LP】
But just when Hayato thought that without Summoning Methods like Link available now, Ozymandias shouldn't be able to Summon Monsters again, he saw him play another Card:
“Then I Activate the Spell Card 【Ties of the Brethren】! I target the Level 4 EARTH Attribute Rock-Type Monster 【Triamid Master】, Pay 2000 Life Points, and Special Summon Barrier Statue of the Drought and Koa'ki Meiru Wall from my Deck!”
“!?”
