Chapter 344 Zhang Ji’s Special Training (2)
"Xiao Zhang, do you think I will give you another chance in the next round?" Yin Jun said calmly: "My turn, draw a card!
First, I summon a monster, [Mecha Skeleton] (Earth/★4/Mechanic/Alliance/Effect/1800/0)
When this card is successfully summoned, I can add 1 "Mecha" monster from my deck to my hand except "Mecha Mechanical Frame". I choose to add 1 "Mecha Unclassified Reserve Soldier" to my hand.
When [Mecha Unclassified Reserve Soldier] is added to the hand by a method other than drawing a card, the effect is activated! You can Special Summon this card. After this effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon a monster other than a Machine-Type monster until the end of the turn.
Come out! [Mecha Unclassified Reserve Soldier] (Dark/★4/Mechanical/Effect/1800/800)
Also, when [Mecha Unclassified Reserve Soldier] is successfully summoned or Special Summoned, you can send 1 "Mecha" monster other than "Mecha Unclassified Reserve Soldier" from your deck to the Graveyard. I choose to send 1 [Mecha Colonel] from my deck to the Graveyard."
Zhang Ji thought to himself, "Now that he has gathered two level 2 monsters, is he preparing to perform an Xyz Summon?"
Yin Jun showed a sly smile and waved his hand, saying: "Entering my battle phase, first, I will use [Fictional King_Invisible Giant Hole] (ATK4300) to attack your [Traveler from the Other Shore_Dante] (ATK1000)"
Zhang Ji was very surprised: "He didn't perform an Ultra Summon?"
"Xiao Zhang, if you want to win the duel, you can't just rely on a formula of where to light up and mindlessly summoning this or that."
"I understand!" Zhang Ji suddenly realized, "You use the Fictional King to attack [Dante, the Traveler from the Other Shore]. If the attack is successful, I will take 3300 combat damage, but I will still have 200 health points left.
Next, you can use the [Mecha Skeleton] with the same attack power as my [Mecha Angel_Engine Soldier], which is 1800, to kill my last monster together.
Finally, I used [Mecha Unclassified Reserve] to attack me directly and win the duel. If I used an Xyz Summon, there would be no final direct attack, so I barely made it through this round. "
"Not only that." Yin Jun added: "[Mecha Mechanical Skeleton] is a Machine-Type monster of Earth Attribute, and [Mecha Colonel] in my Graveyard has the effect of reviving itself from the Graveyard when a face-up Machine-Type/Earth Attribute monster on your field is destroyed by battle or effect.
So, when the [Mecha Skeleton] and your [Mecha Angel_Engine Soldier] perish together, my trump card monster, the [Mecha Colonel] with an attack power of 3000, will appear on the stage. If all these things are established, Xiao Zhang, you still owe me a whole life. "
"There are so many calculations hidden in such a simple action." Zhang Ji swallowed silently:
"This is what our counselor Liu Su said before. Even if the same deck is given to different duelists, the strength they can exert will vary. If it were me just now, I wouldn't be able to respond so flexibly.
But Principal, I am not a mediocre person who has no ability to fight back. Activate the monster effect of [Mecha Angel_Engine Soldier]!
Once per turn, you can remove 1 Xyz Material from this card, select 1 face-up Attack Position Monster you control, change it to face-up Defense Position, and that Monster cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects during this turn. This effect can be activated during your opponent's turn.
I choose to put [Dante, the Traveler from the Other Shore] into defense position.
As long as he can dodge the most deadly attack of the [Fictional King_Invisible Giant Hole], even if the [Mecha Colonel] can be successfully resurrected, he still cannot break through the [Traveler from the Other Shore_Dante] who is in defense mode and has immortality for one round. "
Yin Jun still had an expected smile on his face: "It is precisely because of the effect of [Mecha Angel_Engine Soldier] that you dare to let a monster with less than 2000 attack points assume attack position without any scruples and end the turn like this.
However, Xiao Zhang, have you ever thought about what to do if the effect of the Mecha Angel fails to activate?
Chain Angel's effect, I activate the face-up card, countering the Trap Card [Xyz Block]. When the opponent activates a monster's effect, you can negate that activation and destroy it by removing 1 Xyz Material from your field.
"What!?"
The ball of light surrounding [Fictional King_Invisible Giant Hole] drilled into the vortex abyss that looked like a red black hole. Suddenly, a domineering and irresistible suction force swept over, and [Mechanic Angel_Engine Sky Soldier] was involuntarily pulled away from the ground, like a meteor across the sky, and his figure gradually lost itself in the depths of the red black hole.
As [Mechanic Angel_Engine Heavenly Soldier] was negated and destroyed, the situation on the field took a sharp turn for the worse for Zhang Ji.
Not only will Zhang Ji be hurt by the attack of [Fictional King_Invisible Giant Hole], but he will also be under direct attack from [Mecha Mechanical Skeleton] and [Mecha Unclassified Reserve Soldier]. The combined damage far exceeds his remaining 3500 health points.
"Xiao Zhang, this card [Mecha Angel_Engine Soldier] is really good. I have used it before. From the moment you summoned it, I knew what you were up to. How could such a well-known trick work on me?"
“Damn it…” Zhang Ji’s face turned extremely ugly: “When [Evil Devil of the Other Shore_Cagnazzo] and [Evil Devil of the Other Shore_Draciniazzo], which are the super materials of the Mecha Angel, are sent to the graveyard, the effect is activated!
I can select 1 "Other Shore" card from my deck, "Griffia Card of the Other Shore", and place it on top of the deck, and send 1 "Other Shore" Spell/Trap Card from my deck, "Beyond Good and Evil", to the Graveyard."
"At this point, can these effects still affect the outcome in the slightest? Xiao Zhang, if you want to be a victorious duelist, you must not only have a smart mind that can adapt to changing circumstances, but also have a careful mind that can look ahead and behind. Any decision you make must have a compromise plan after failure, instead of being like a gambler who is ready to risk his life at any time, and whose win or loss depends entirely on the face of his opponent.
Let's continue the battle! [Fictional King_Invisible Giant Hole], defeat [Traveler from the Other Shore_Dante]!"
"Principal, I don't want to hear you keep lecturing me, because I did make a second-hand preparation. At this moment, I activate the cover card, usually a trap card, [Half or Stop].
This card can only be activated during the Battle Phase of your opponent's turn. Your opponent must select 1 of the following effects to apply:
●Until the end of the Battle Phase, the ATK of all monsters on your field is halved.
●End the combat phase. ”
"Is it this card?" Yin Jun stroked the stubble on his chin. "It's impossible to end the battle phase. I will only choose the first effect. However, my monster's attack power is much higher than that of [Dante, the Traveler from the Other Shore] and your life value. Even if it is halved, you may not be able to withstand this round of attacks."
（【虚构王_无形巨洞】ATK4300→2150/【机甲机械骨架】ATK1800→900/【机甲未分类备用兵】ATK1800→900）
Just as Yin Jun said, even if the attack power was halved, [Fictional King_Invisible Giant Hole] still easily swallowed [Traveler from the Other Shore_Dante]. A gust of wind mixed with red energy turbulence rushed towards Zhang Ji, reducing his health from 3500 to 2350.
"After so many losses, it's time to fight back!" Zhang Ji gritted his teeth and said, "When the super material of [Dante, the Traveler from the Other Shore] and [Barbariccia, the Devil from the Other Shore] are sent to the graveyard, the effect will be activated!
I can deal 3 points of damage to you by banishing three monsters from the graveyard: [Gumita, Prisoner of the Other Shore], [Draginiazzo, Devil of the Other Shore], and [Cagnazzo, Devil of the Other Shore]!"
"Ugh——" (Yin Jun's health value 4000→3100)
"This damage is not a big deal. Keep attacking! I will use [Mecha Skeleton] (ATK900) and [Mecha Unclassified Spare Soldier] (ATK900) to attack you directly!"
"Ah——" (Zhang Ji's health 2350→1450→550)
"Hmm?" Yin Jun frowned, thinking that he had indeed underestimated the power of the card [Half or Stop], which actually allowed Zhang Ji to barely withstand this round of attack.
“Hmph, even if I failed to deplete your health, I have already annihilated all your monsters. I suppose you have no power to fight back. However, I still want you to fully understand the huge gap in strength between us!
After finishing my battle phase, I stacked the level 4 [Mecha Unclassified Spare Soldier] and [Mecha Mechanical Skeleton] to build a stacking network with two monsters and Xyz Summon them!
Come out, [Heavy Armored Train_Iron Wolf] (Earth/☆4/Mechanical/Extreme/Effect/2200/2200).”
A dark blue heavy armored train with a yellow Iron Wolf locomotive came rumbling from afar and stopped across Yin Jun Field.
Unlike Zhang Ji, Yin Jun did not reveal any flaws after launching a round of attacks. If Zhang Ji wanted to launch a counterattack in the next round, the monster he would face would either be the [Heavy Armored Train_Iron Wolf] in defense mode or the [Fictional King_Invisible Giant Hole] with an attack power of 4300. It can be said that it is invulnerable.
"Finally, my turn is over."
As soon as Yin Jun finished speaking, a green thundercloud broke through the sky again and struck a bolt of lightning, heading straight for Zhang Ji.
"Hmm!" (Zhang Ji's health 550→50)
"Xiao Zhang, since you no longer have a Xyz monster on the field, you will receive 500 points of damage according to the effect of my Field Spell Card, [Stacked World]!"
