Chapter 335: Easy 1 Kill
"Summoning a monster battlefield with an attack power of 3000 in the first round. So what if it has no effect? Isn't this strength strong enough?" Luo Ye watched the battle silently from the side, secretly affirming Zhang Ji's deck in his heart.
From his perspective, anyone who could perform like this was already one of the strongest in Osiris Red. He didn't know what kind of extraordinary strength the other party had that allowed him to mock him so harshly.
"It's not just what's on the table." Zhang Ji waved his hand and said, "My turn is over, and at this moment, the monster that was previously sent to the graveyard, [Devil of the Other Shore_Skarmiglione]'s monster is activated!
I can add 1 Demon-Type, Dark, Level 3 monster from my deck to my hand, except for a card with the same name. I choose to add 1 [Barbaricia, the Devil of the Other Shore] to my hand.
"Oh? The round ends immediately without any other moves?" Ling Wei said disdainfully, "I thought you must be a capable character since you dare to challenge me. It turns out you are just blindly confident. You are just a toad sitting in a well and looking at the sky. Open your eyes and see the strength of our Obelisklan!"
"Humph!" Zhang Ji thought quietly in his heart, "When you say I'm sitting in a well and looking at the sky, I think you're describing myself.
My Ritual Monster, [Malablanca, the Devil of the Other Shore], can send 1 "Other Shore" monster from your hand to the Graveyard once per turn, select 1 face-up monster on your opponent's field, and reduce its ATK and DEF by the respective values of the monster sent to the Graveyard by this effect until the end of the turn. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn.
The attack power of [Barbariccia] in my hand is 1700, which means that as long as the big guy cannot summon a monster with an attack power of more than 4500, my Devil of the Other Shore and the Dark Demon King will be enough to deal with it, and then I can win with a crushing momentum.
You can look down on me now, but I want to see how you will react when I win the duel."
"My turn, draw a card!" Ling Wei was very relaxed, sniffing his nose while looking at the cards in his hand: "This kind of duel is simply not challenging at all. I'm already sleepy tonight, I'll finish you off in one turn, and then go to bed early."
Ling Wei raised his right thumb and slowly turned it over, making a contemptuous gesture of thumbs up: "It's a pity that you are just an Osiris Red. Even if you win, there is nothing to be happy about. It's just a waste of time."
"You've been chattering away for so long. If you're really as strong as you say you are, then prove it to me. Who are you trying to scare by talking all the time?" Zhang Ji couldn't help but said angrily.
"Look, he's getting anxious." Ling Wei smiled and glanced at the followers beside him, then slowly began his own actions.
"First, I summon the monster [Cursed Eyes Death Apostle_Sariel] (Dark/★4/Demon/Effect/1600/1400)
When this card is successfully summoned, you can add 1 "Cursed Eye" card from your deck to your hand, except for a card with the same name. I choose to add 1 Equipment Spell Card, [Cursed Eye of the Moon] to my hand, and prepare it directly for [Cursed Eye of the Dead Disciple - Sariel].
Projected onto Ling Wei's field was a white-haired man who was as tall as him but much thinner. His shoulders, backs of his hands, chest, and knees were all adorned with pale yellow vertical eyes, and there was also a red magic pattern on his abdomen that looked like an eye. He was indescribably enchanting and yet as beautiful as a woman. Perhaps this was how Ling Wei saw himself.
"He equipped his own lower-level monster with the Equipment Magic Card? Could it be that this monster with an attack power of 1600 is his main force?" Zhang Ji was puzzled, but still said: "At this moment, I activate the effect of [Ghost of the Other Shore_Mala Blanca]..."
"I advise you not to waste your energy." Ling Wei sneered, "Monsters equipped with [Cursed Eye of the Moon] cannot be destroyed by battle or the opponent's effects, nor can they become the target of the opponent's effects."
"What? It can't be selected as an effect target?" Zhang Ji was shocked. "In this case, the ghosts and gods on the other side can't target it. But its attack power is only 1600, so it's no threat to my two monsters."
"Osiris Red, there is more to a duel than just comparing attack power like primitive men. I will let you experience the true power of [Cursed Eye]!"
Ling Wei waved his hand and pointed: "I activate the monster effect of [Cursed Eyes of Death_Sariel]. If this card has "Cursed Eyes of the Moon" equipped, you can select 1 Special Summoned monster on the opponent's field and destroy it. This effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn.
There is only 1 Special Summoned Monster on your field, so I choose to destroy the Ritual Monster, [The Devil on the Other Shore_Mala Blanca]!
In addition, the other effect of the equipped magic card, [Cursed Eye of the Moon] is activated! Every time you activate the effect of the equipped monster or a "Cursed Eye" magic or trap card other than this card, the equipped monster's attack power increases by 500, and you lose 500 life points. Uh——"
(Ling Wei's HP 4000→3500/[Cursed Eyes Dead Apostle_Sariel] ATK 1600→2100)
"Damn it, the effect of the Devil of the Other Shore was destroyed by the opponent before it could be used. If I had known that I would activate the effect of the Devil of the Other Shore as soon as he summoned a monster!"
But Zhang Ji didn’t have the ability to predict the future, so how could he know that this inconspicuous 4-star monster was the opponent’s main force?
"I won't suffer in vain! When [Demon of the Other Shore_Mala Blanca] is sent from the field to the Graveyard, its effect activates! I can select 1 card on the field and send it to the Graveyard.
Since your monster cannot be selected as an effect target, you should send the equipment magic card, [Cursed Eye of the Moon], to the graveyard!"
"Do you think this last-ditch effort is useful?" Ling Wei shook his head and pulled out another card from his hand: "When you have a "Cursed Eye" monster on your field, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. Come out! [Cursed Eye's Familiar_Basilius] (Dark/★3/Demon/Effect/400/2000)"
A strange purple snake with a ruby-like vertical eye on its forehead twisted its body and crawled onto the scene, waving its blue-black tongue back and forth like a whip, spraying venom everywhere.
“Activate the effect of [Cursed Eye's Familiar_Basilius], and during my Main Phase, I can send 1 [Cursed Eye's] Spell/Trap Card from my Deck to the Graveyard. I choose to send 1 Normal Trap Card, [Cursed Eye of Jealousy] to the Graveyard.
While [Cursed Eye of the Moon] is in the Graveyard, you can pay 1000 Life Points to banish 1 "Cursed Eye" Spell/Trap Card other than a card with the same name from your Graveyard, and set this card in the Graveyard on your side of the field.
I choose to banish [Cursed Eye of Jealousy], place the Equip Magic Card [Cursed Eye of the Moon] in the Graveyard on the field, and re-equip it to [Cursed Eye of the Dead Apostle Sariel]. Ah——"
(Ling Wei's health 3500 → 2500)
"Damn it..." Zhang Ji suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "Why does his equipment magic card have a re-entry effect? The two effects of the ghost of the other shore are of no use."
"After that, I will activate the four magic cards in my hand!" Ling Wei grinned and showed all the cards in his hand to Zhang Ji.
“The four cards are [Cursed Eye of Familiarity], [Cursed Eye of Misfortune], [Cursed Eye of Summoning Taboo], and [Cursed Eye of Snake Hair].
Normally, the Magic Card, [Cursed Eye of Familiarity] can Special Summon 1 "Cursed Eye of Familiar Token" (Demon-Type, Dark, 1 Level, Attack/Defense 400) to your field.
If you have "Cursed Eye of the Moon" in your Spell & Trap Zone, you can Special Summon 2 by this effect. After activating this card, you cannot Special Summon unless you are a Demon-Type monster until the end of the turn.
Normally, the Spell Card, Cursed Eye of the Summoning, allows you to Special Summon 1 "Cursed Eye" monster from your hand or Graveyard. If you have "Cursed Eye of the Moon" in your Spell & Trap Zone, you can Special Summon 1 "Cursed Eye" monster from your Deck instead.
I choose to Special Summon a monster from my deck, [Cursed Eyes Familiar_Catoblepas] (Dark/★3/Demon-Type/Effect/600/1900)."
"5...5 monsters!" Luo Ye couldn't help but shiver as he looked at Ling Wei's field that was already filled with monsters.
"Savage, stop interrupting!" Ling Wei shouted impatiently at Luo Ye. "The third card is the Quick-Play Magic Card [Cursed Eye of Misfortune]. If you have a "Cursed Eye" monster on your field, you can select 1 Magic or Trap Card on your opponent's field and destroy it.
If there is "Cursed Eye of the Moon" in your Spell & Trap Zone, the card destroyed by this effect is banished without going to the Graveyard.
Of course, you only have one Spell/Trap Card on the field, which is the Field Spell Card [Dark]. Although my monsters are all Demon-type monsters and can be boosted by this card, I'm sorry, I don't need such a weak power! I will destroy your Field Spell Card and banish it!"
"You guy!" Zhang Ji took the card from the duel disk with a grim face. This behavior, which was harmful to others and not beneficial to himself just to insult others, was extremely arrogant.
"The last one is the Equip Magic Card, [Snake-Haired Cursed Eye]. As long as this card exists in the Magic & Trap Zone, its card name is used as "Cursed Eye of the Moon". When your Life Points are less than your opponent's, the equipped monster's Attack Power increases by the value of the Basic Points difference.
Oh, of course, because I activated 4 [Cursed Eye] magic cards, [Cursed Eye of the Moon] will draw 2000 of my life points to inject power into [Cursed Eye of Death Apostle_Sariel]. Come on! Hahahahahaha——"
Ling Wei was laughing wildly while his own monster was draining his life. His health points were reduced to only 500 before Zhang Ji could touch them at all. However, after several strengthenings, the attack power of [Cursed Eyes Dead Apostle_Sariel] had skyrocketed from 1600 to 4100.
"Now, my health is 3500 less than yours. Therefore, the attack power of [Cursed Eye of Death Apostle Sariel] equipped with [Cursed Eye of Snake Hair] will increase by another 3500!"
([Cursed Eyes Dead Apostle_Sariel] ATK4100→7600)
"Attack power of 7600?! Are you kidding?" Zhang Ji stood there in astonishment, unable to believe what he saw.
"The opponent didn't even send out a high-level monster, nor did he have any special summons such as Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz. He only relied on low-level monsters to defeat me. Is this... the strength of Obelisk Blue?"
"It's my battle phase. I'll use [Cursed Eyes Death Apostle_Sariel] (ATK7600) to attack your [Darkness Demon Lord_LV8] (ATK2800)."
"The difference in attack power between the two monsters is—" Luo Ye stared blankly at the gradually approaching white-haired demon, and numbly squeezed out a number from his mouth: "4800."
It is higher than Zhang Ji’s original health value.
“Ahhhhh——” (Zhang Ji’s health: 4000 → 0)
"Hahahaha, you are overestimating your own abilities and bringing about your own destruction!"
The duel was over. Ling Wei approached Zhang Ji with a ferocious expression and looked down at the loser: "You stray dog, get out of here right now!"
