Chapter 345 Virgil, the poet from the other side
There is no doubt that there is almost no room for Zhang Ji to turn this duel around.
First of all, Zhang Ji must perform an Xyz Summon to avoid the effect damage of Yin Jun's field magic card, [Stacked World] as much as possible, but this is just a helpless move to delay time.
The two Xyz monsters that Zhang Ji trusted the most have been destroyed or eliminated. There is no capable person who can solve the current predicament. Not only can they not be resurrected, but the power of [Fictional King_Invisible Giant Hole] will only continue to increase.
Moreover, even if he avoided the damage effect of [Stacking World], it did not mean that Zhang Ji could escape from danger.
The monster on Yin Jun's field, [Heavy Armored Train_Iron Wolf] can remove 1 of its own Xyz materials once per turn, select 1 Mechanical monster on Yin Jun's field, and directly attack the monster in front of Zhang Ji within one turn.
If Zhang Ji cannot find a way to solve these two problems, then the duel will end here.
"Huh..." Zhang Ji sighed heavily: "I have no other choice. I have lost this duel."
Virgil shook his head: "No, Dante, you didn't lose. The road to victory will be opened by your next card draw."
"My next card draw?" Zhang Ji silently turned over the top card of the deck - [The Devil from the Other Shore_Grafia Carne]. This was the card he placed on the top of the deck using [The Devil from the Other Shore_Drachiniazo] in the last turn, and it was determined before drawing the card.
"It's useless to draw this card." Zhang Ji said pessimistically: "The only way I can think of to solve the dilemma is to Xyz Summon a Level 3 monster to remove [Heavy Armored Train_Iron Wolf], and then escape unscathed.
However, I don't have a Xyz monster in my Extra Deck that can do this, and it has nothing to do with what card I draw."
“It doesn’t have to be an Xyz Summon.” Virgil smiled mysteriously, “Just lend me your body for a while.”
"Hey, hey, hey Virgil, what are you doing?!"
Yin Jun looked at Zhang Ji with a puzzled look on his face and talked to himself for a while, but suddenly for a moment, Zhang Ji seemed to be possessed by something. Although his appearance had not changed at all, there was a touch of elegance and heroism, or sharpness, between his eyebrows and eyes. His temperament was completely different.
"Dante, remember, a duelist must explore the path to victory at his own pace, rather than following his opponent's lead and stepping into one trap after another, just like a bad poet who only imitates the rhythm of others and can only produce a nonsense poem in the end."
"Ah?" Yin Jun looked at Zhang Ji in confusion: "Xiao Zhang, are you talking to me?"
"My turn." Zhang Ji, who was possessed by Virgil, took out a card from the graveyard: "First, I activate the effect of the Ritual Magic Card in the graveyard, [Beyond Good and Evil].
During your Main Phase, you can banish this card from your Graveyard, send 1 "Hierarchy" monster from your hand to the Graveyard, then add 1 "Hierarchy" card from your Deck to your hand. This effect cannot be activated during the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard.
I choose to send a [Devil of the Other Shore - Grafia Cardane] from my hand to the Graveyard, and add 1 [Devil of the Other Shore - Falfarello] from my deck to my hand.
Also, when [Grapia Cardane] is sent to the Graveyard, the effect is activated. I can Special Summon 1 [Grapia Cardane] monster from my Deck other than a card with the same name.
I choose to Special Summon a monster from my deck, [Evil Devil of the Other Shore_Rubikantai] (Dark/★3/Demon/Adjustment/Effect/100/2100)"
"Adjust the monster? Are you going to perform a Synchro Summon?"
"That's right! Next, I activate the face-up, Continuous Trap Card, [Call of the Living Dead]. This card can be Special Summoned in Attack Position by selecting 1 monster in your Graveyard.
I choose to revive! [Devil of the Other Shore_Barbariccia] (Dark/★3/Demon/Effect/1700/1000)
After that, I used [The Devil of the Other Shore_Rupicante] to tune [The Devil of the Other Shore_Barbariccia]! 3+3=6, Synchro Summon!
My name is Virgil, the venerable one who chants the epic of fools and heroes, leading you to the hell of atonement, the purgatory of extreme suffering, and the pure white spirit. Come out! [Poet of the Other Shore_Virgil] (Light/★6/Mage/Synchronize/Effect/2500/1000)
At the same time, when [Barbariccia] is sent to the Graveyard, the effect is activated! I banish [Rubikante] and [Grafiacane] from the Graveyard, and deal 600 points of damage to you! "
"Ugh——" (Yin Jun's health value 3100→2500)
"What are you mumbling? Isn't it just a Synchro Monster with only 2500 attack power?"
Yin Jun thought it was just a false alarm: "Compared to my [Fictional King_Invisible Giant Hole], it is simply vulnerable. At most, it can only bully [Heavy Armored Train_Iron Wolf].
However, you have to look carefully, Xiao Zhang, [Heavy Armored Train_Iron Wolf] is also an earth-attribute mechanical monster. Once you destroy it, the [Mecha Colonel] in my cemetery will be resurrected.
Even during your turn, [Mecha Colonel] can destroy itself and all your monsters with an attack power below 3000. By then, you will have no monsters to protect you. "
"That's not necessarily true." Virgil smiled faintly: "If you want to get rid of a monster, destruction is not the only way."
"What did you say?!"
Vergil waved his hand and said, “I activate the monster effect of [Virgil, the Poet of the Other Shore]. Once per turn, you can discard 1 [The Other Shore] card from your hand and select 1 card from your opponent’s field or graveyard and return it to the owner’s deck.
I choose to discard [Farfarello] from my hand and return your Xyz monster, [Heavy Armored Train Iron Wolf] to the Extra Deck.
"Damn it, you actually thought of using this method to get rid of my [Heavy Armored Train_Iron Wolf]... However, you only solved one of the two major problems, and the result of this duel will not change.
Your Synchro Monsters cannot cross [Fictional King_Invisible Hole] to cause any damage to me, but you will still receive 500 points of damage at the end of the turn due to the effect of [Overlay World]. "
As Yin Jun was speaking, he glanced at Zhang Ji, who was standing opposite him. He looked at him quietly with a smile on his face, as if he was completely unaware of the crisis or urgency. Yin Jun suddenly realized something and turned to look at the only monster on his field.
Above the head of [Fictional King_Invisible Giant Hole], a black demon shaped like a vulture spread its wings and tore a space crack from behind. It grabbed [Fictional King_Invisible Giant Hole] tightly with its feet and dragged it into the crack. Even though the two were very different in size, the whole process was like a kitten catching a mouse, unable to move.
"When my only card in hand, [Falfarello], is sent to the Graveyard, you can select 1 monster on the field and banish it until the End Phase."
"Gu." Yin Jun swallowed hard and looked down at his life counter, which showed 2500. "There are no monsters on my field now, which means..."
“Enter my battle phase!” Virgil waved his hand and pointed: “I will use [Poet of the Other Shore_Virgil] (ATK2500) to attack you directly!”
The red-haired poet lowered the brim of his hat, bowed his head and concentrated on playing the golden guqin. A cheerful and relaxing melody sounded, and Yin Jun's consciousness began to dissipate. His brain went blank. When he came to his senses, he could not feel any pain, and his health had returned to zero.
"This kid might really be able to do the impossible like Bai Chu." Yin Jun's confused look was instantly replaced by cunning. "He can be used by me."
