Chapter 1331: Invoked Mechaba
The effect of "Darkness 3" was activated, and a light blue electric current shot out from the trap card, exploding on Yusei and Yuei Vu's faces. The touch of cold darkness wrapped in the electric current swept through the two people, followed by a strong sense of paralysis.
[Yuei Vu x Yusei, LP 8000 → LP 5000]
The paralysis gradually disappeared, and Yusei felt that he had regained control of his body. He stood up shakily: "It was 3000 damage in one go."
"This is the power of Darkness, the netherworld that no one can escape." Nightshroud said coldly, "This is just the beginning.
Battle! Use ‘Darkness Neosphere' to attack ‘Shooting Star Dragon'!"
The dark demon spread his huge wings, and the single eye on his chest flashed with a bewitching dark light. He rose into the air and showed his golden claws, which flashed a dim golden luster.
[Darkness Neosphere, ATK 4500]
“Then activate the effect of Shooting Star Dragon!” Yusei did not relax his defensive measures either, “Once during the opponent's turn, I can remove this card from play. This turn, I can negate 1 attack from a monster the opponent controls!
I remove Shooting Star Dragon from the game and negate the attack of Darkness Neosphere!”
Shooting Star Dragon’s body gradually became hollow and transparent, and the power of stardust gathered around the dark demon like a shield, restricting his movements.And Nightshroud only uttered a low and vague sneer.
"Your counterattack was within my expectations, Fudo Yusei. You may be a great savior to humans, but in my eyes, you are just like other humans, a bee dancing the figure-eight dance along the predetermined trajectory of fate.
At the moment when the effect of ‘Shooting Star Dragon' was activated, the effect of ‘Invoked Mechaba' was also activated!"
Nightshroud's order fell, and the silver-white Invoked's body emitted a humming sound of mechanical operation. The rider on the back of the Invoked swung the sword in his hand, just like a general on the battlefield swinging his sword and issuing a charging order.
A light blue light flashed in the eyes of the Invoked! A blue shock beam accurately hit the ethereal Shooting Star Dragon, which uttered a sad cry and immediately disappeared from the field with a wave of blue ripples.
The stardust shield that bound the Dark Demon also dissipated, and the demon showed its ferocious claws, and the oppression of darkness was suffocating.
"How could it be!?" Yusei's pupils shrank, "Shooting Star Dragon is…"
"The effect of Invoked Melkaba! Once per turn, when a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, is activated: I can send the same type of card from my hand to the GY; negate the activation and banish that card!"
Nightshroud showed a card sent to the graveyard and said, "I just sent the monster card ‘Darkness Slime' from my hand to the graveyard, negating the activation of Shooting Star Dragon's effect and banishing it from the game!"
"Such a powerful effect!?" Jack's face changed.
Although there was a restriction that the same type of cards must be discarded, this was also an omninegate effect, the top effect type in the Duel Monster system!
And unlike most similar effects, which were "Negate and destroy", this effect was "negate and banish". If it was just "destroy", the negated card would naturally be sent to the Graveyard, where it could be reused as a resource.
But "Invoked Mechaba" was different. The effect of this Invoked was "Negate the activation and remove the card from the game"!
Therefore, even Yusei's Shooting Star Dragon could only fail here, and reluctantly leave the field early under the power of the Invoked.
So after the effect was resolved, Shooting Star Dragon not only failed to successfully nullify this attack, but also left the field before the battle took place, and a Battle Replay occurred on the field.
"Attack again." Nightshroud said, "Darkness Neosphere, attack directly!"
The cold claws were right in front of him. As the devil's claws fell, it seemed as if there was endless darkness from the deepest part of the netherworld. The darkness was like a tide covering the sky and the earth, rushing towards Yusei. He could even feel endless sadness, despair, and anger from the darkness.
Nightshroud was right. The darkness he represented was the dark side of human hearts, the aggregation of all negative emotions.
At this moment, Yuei Vu stood up: "The effect of ‘Sphere Kuriboh' in the hand is activated! When an opponent's monster declares an attack: I can send this card from my hand to the GY; change the attacking monster to Defense Position!
Therefore, change ‘Darkness Neosphere' to Defense Position!"
The card was thrown into the graveyard, and the golden spherical Kuriboh jumped out, shouting "Kuri Kuri" several times. Golden ripples spread in the air, and the ferocious demon was immediately switched from attack to defense. The white and black wings protected in front of it like a shield, and the attack was forcibly terminated.
"Did you block it?" Nightshroud said calmly, "Then the next one is ‘Invoked Mechaba', attack directly!"
The Dark Demon's direct hit was blocked by the Kuriboh, but there was still a hit from the Invoked. The swordsman on the back of the Invoked swung the long sword again, and the blue sword energy on the sword was stimulated, which merged with the beam of light shot from the eyes of the Invoked and exploded head-on on the field of Yuei Vu and Yusei.
[Yusei x Yuei Vu, LP 5000 → LP 2000]
The Invoked's head-on attack, the power of the extraordinary spirit combined with Nightshroud's top dark power, that was a pain that ordinary humans could not bear at all.
Fortunately, Yusei had already experienced the might of the Shadow Game, and his endurance was extraordinary. In addition, he was protected by the power of the Crimson Dragon provided by the dragon mark, so he could bear this pain with difficulty.
Yusei half-knelt on the ground, panting heavily, and looked hard at the ultimate devil in front of him who was hiding in the shadow of the robe and seemed to control the source of all darkness in the heavens and the world.
He couldn't help but have a thought in his heart…
…So strong!
All the villains I had fought so far were not as strong as him.
At that time, Rex Godwin was simultaneously equipped with the power of the King of the Underworld and the Crimson Dragon, and he claimed to be the ultimate god who was simultaneously equipped with the power of destroying and creating the world. But now, in Yusei's opinion, Godwin's strength at that time was not even one-tenth of the demon in front of him, and he was not a match at the same level!
Although he was reluctant to admit it, the fact was that even though he had received so much special training and made such great progress under the guidance of Senior Yuei Vu, he still felt a huge gap in strength when facing this enemy.
"The Battle Phase is over." Nightshroud said calmly, "Then I activate the second effect of ‘Invocation' in the graveyard.
If this card is in my GY: I can target 1 of my banished ‘Aleister the Invoker', shuffle this card into the Deck, and add that monster to my hand."
The magic circle reappeared, and the green Invocation card was summoned back from the underworld by the magic circle, turned into a beam of dark light, and flew back to Darkness's deck, automatically shuffled.
And the "Aleister the Invoker" that was removed from the game was also returned to Darkness's hand and added back to his hand.
Jack on the side was even more shocked: "Does that mean that he can summon ‘Aleister the Invoker' again in the next turn and search for Invocation?"
Doesn't that mean that the combination of Aleister and Invocation can also be recycled infinitely every turn!?
