Chapter 575 The Price of Fighting
Chapter 575 The Price of Fighting (4K, monthly ticket required~)
"Zhan Hua?"
"I haven't seen this series before—"
Many students became curious, and even Amagi Hikaru couldn't help but sit up straight.
It turned out to be the Zhanhua series.
"As long as this card is on the field, once per turn, I can Special Summon a War-Blossom monster from my hand. In exchange, I must pay damage equal to that monster's Level x 100."
"The card I want to special summon is this one - Level 6, War Flower's Violence - Dong Ying."
"Dong...Ying?"
"Eh!"
Some students who are more sensitive to names have already realized the type of this series. Along with the actions of the fierce professor, a warrior with a thick beard, wearing bull armor and golden armor, and holding a huge sword, has appeared on the field.
War of the Beasts - Dong Ying, Level 6, Dark Attribute, Beast Warrior, Attack Power 2200.
General LP: 4000 → 3400.
"Wow—it's really Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying!"
"That's exactly it. It's the exact same outfit as in the historical drama!"
Judai was also very excited: "It's actually a deck with a Three Kingdoms theme? That's so cool, professor!"
"Hahaha, isn't that cool? There's something even cooler! Activate Dong Ying's effect." He laughed, "When Dong Ying is successfully summoned or Special Summoned, I can directly add a level 1 or higher [Zhanhua] monster or a [Zhanhua] continuous Spell/Trap Card from my deck to my hand."
He casually raised his left hand in front of the deck on the duel disk, and a card automatically popped out of the deck: "The card I want to add to my hand is this--"
He turned over the retrieved card, smoked a cigarette, and laughed: "You should all know it -
The most courageous general among all the armies, the most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms...
Special Summon, Rebellion of War - Lu Feng! "
He wore a golden crown on his head, a battle robe with flowers, Tang Ni armor, a lion belt, and held a Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand.
He rides the Red Hare and is known among men as Lu Bu!
An extremely powerful monster, which looked very domineering even with two cockroach-like whiskers on its head, rode a warhorse and stomped onto the field.
Rebel of Zhanhua - Lu Feng, level 8, dark attribute, beast warrior, attack power 2800.
"Wow, Lu Bu! So handsome!"
"The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms!"
"Attack power is 2800!"
"And he was Special Summoned right away?"
Judai blinked, excited but also a little surprised: "Why did you special summon it directly?"
"When the monster with the highest attack power among the [War Flower] monsters on the field is on your field, Lu Feng can Special Summon it once per turn." The fierce general stroked his chin and said casually.
"It's a special summon that doesn't belong in a chain." Manzhangmu muttered.
Tian Chengguang, who was watching from the audience, also felt the same way.
No matter what the prototypes of these two monsters are, they do look mighty and domineering.
It turns out that this fierce professor is a Chinese.
"Cover a card and the turn ends."
Simple, direct and rough, there are no fancy operations by Professor Mengjiang. He just casts magic, recruits monsters, and then it's over.
"Attack power of 2200 and 2800 is quite high." John didn't know much about the Three Kingdoms, so he wasn't as excited as other students when he saw these monsters. He analyzed calmly, "If Linglong wasn't used, it would be difficult for my family to directly reach this level of attack power.
Most of the lower-ranking heroes of the tenth generation were unable to overcome this attack."
Judai is of course aware of this, but Judai's current deck is completely different from before -
He is super strong now!
"On my turn, I draw a card. I activate a magic card, Evil Heart Attack. I discard a card from my hand and can directly draw a card from my deck... Guwa——"
Before Judai could finish his words, a hidden arrow suddenly flew out from somewhere and pierced through his body.
He suddenly took a half step back, covering his chest. The pain from the hidden arrow made him unable to adapt.
This pain was like real pain, making it difficult for him to continue fighting for a moment.
Yujo Tendai, LP: 4000→3600.
"What, what's going on?"
There was a lot of discussion in the classroom.
The students had no idea what was happening.
On the other side, Professor Mengjiang took a puff of his cigarette and said to Judai casually: "Judai, this is the [price]."
"At...a price?"
"As long as Dong Ying is on the field, and I have a Level 7 or higher Zhan Hua monster on the field, the opponent cannot activate the card's effect unless they pay 400 Life Points." Then, he pointed to the Tenth Generation Graveyard, "Also, Dong Zhuo, if the opponent sends a monster to the Graveyard, you can target a card in your opponent's Graveyard, banish that card and draw 1 card."
In Professor Mengjiang's field, Dong Ying opened her mouth, revealing a cruel smile, staring at Judai with bloodshot eyes.
"W...what?" Judai was stunned.
"Activating the effect of one card will cost you 1 points..." Someone raised his fingers to count, "That's only 400 HP in total!"
"So, at most 10 cards will be lost before the health points are reduced to zero?"
"Isn't this too strong?"
Judai slowly stood up, looked at the activated card, gritted his teeth, and continued: "Based on the effect of Evil Heart Assault, I special summon the Evil Heart Hero Death Cell Prism from the deck."
Gravel like blood flowed from the sky, and a devilish prism slowly emerged from it.
Evil Hero Death Prison Prison, Level 4, Light Attribute, Rock Tribe, Attack Power 1700.
"Evil-hearted hero?" Ed at the side became slightly interested.
He thought that Judai had always been that idiot, but he didn't expect that he was using a brand new "Evil Heart" series of heroes.
Then he shook his head again.
wrong--
This idiot, he has already accepted that "as long as justice is achieved, the power of evil doesn't matter", but he is still obsessed with the invading elves.
Still a big fool.
but……
As expected, up until now, he had absolutely no way of liking Yuki Judai.
Judai looked at the cards in the graveyard and couldn't help but feel a little conflicted.
How should this duel be conducted?
After a moment, he gritted his teeth. It would be a loss if he didn't start. He definitely couldn't waste it.
"Effect of Shadow Mist Lady in the Graveyard. If this card is sent to the Graveyard, activate this effect. Add 1 Hero Monster other than Shadow Mist Lady from your Deck to your hand."
There was a muffled sound.
Judai's body was pierced again. At the same time, Professor Mengjiang also eliminated Judai's Shadow Mist Girl and drew a card.
Yujo Tendai, LP: 3600→3200.
He searched through the deck and took out a Flash card. He looked at the dead man in his hand and gritted his teeth. He could have used a mask to change...
"Judai is very nervous." said John on the side.
"After all, one card will lose 400 life points." Wanzhangmu rubbed his forehead, "Moreover, this is completely different from the situation Tiancheng encountered before. Even if Tiancheng Fusion Summoned DDD Shentong Wang Dak, he couldn't resist this effect.
Because this effect is [paying] health points, which is COST... This is a completely irresistible effect." Everyone nodded silently.
This effect is completely unmatched and must be calculated precisely in order to continue the duel. Any slight mistake could lead to danger.
Judai added Flash to his hand, then looked at the monsters on the field, and couldn't help but frowning.
Every time he used the effect, he would lose 400 health points, which really made him feel restricted.
I must get rid of Dong Ying quickly, otherwise my health will only decrease.
"Activate the effect of Death Cell Prism. Once per turn, send 1 Hero Monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. During this turn, when a Hero Fusion Monster is Fusion Summoned, this face-up card can be used as a replacement for 1 of the Fusion Materials with the same name as that Fusion Monster.
I sent the Elemental Hero Neos from my deck to the graveyard."
call out--
puff.
Judai was hit by an arrow again.
Yujo Tendai, LP: 3200→2800.
"Magic card, Dark Fusion, fuse the Death Cell Prisoner on the field with the Flash in the hand!"
Yujo Tendai, LP: 2800→2400.
“Fusion Summon!
Evil Hero Lightning Troll! "
Zi La La——
The Thunder Giant changed his skin and fell from the sky.
Evil Hero Lightning Troll, Level 6, Light Attribute, Demon, Attack Power 2400.
"Lightning Troll can target 1 monster on the field once per turn. Destroy that monster!" Judai pointed at Dong Ying, "I choose Dong Ying."
The evil demon raised his hands, and black balls of thunder gathered in the air and then fell down with a loud bang.
Bang!
However, along with the roar of thunder, the last cold arrow also pierced through the throat of Judai.
"Gu..."
Yujo Tendai, LP: 2400→2000.
"Two thousand..." Several students from the Fusion Department covered their faces with their hands in pain as they watched Judai being shot by hidden arrows one after another.
“But, in this way, Dong Ying is also destroyed!”
"Yeah, that way Judai can do the operation."
"But is this really a good idea?" Jim couldn't help but raise a question, "Wouldn't it be better to use the Lightning Troll's effect to destroy Lu Feng, and then use the Lightning Troll to attack Dong Ying?"
Using effects to destroy Lu Bu who has higher attack power, and using attack combat to destroy Dong Zhuo, this idea is obviously more "profitable".
"But what if the card covered by the professor has the effect of protecting the monster during the battle phase?" John couldn't help but think about this question. "Suppose it is a trap that can make the battle attack invalid, then Judai must face Dong Ying who remains on the field-"
"Dong Ying, there must be a level 7 or above War Monster on the field to activate the effect, right?" Wanzhangmu mentioned another thing.
"Then, what if this is a trap to revive Lu Bu? What should we do?"
"Eh——" Several senior students were discussing nearby, and Serena was listening in a daze.
Wouldn't it be better to just destroy the troublesome Dong Ying? Why is there a follow-up discussion?
Liuli listened to the discussion with great interest.
"The key question should be what the professor's cover card is." Amagi Hikaru also said, "Judai just made his own choice."
Everyone nodded.
Listening to the discussion of several top students in the front row, Professor Mengjiang couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Very well said, little guys."
He then held the cigarette in one hand, waved it in the air, and said to Judai: "Judai, I actually still like you. Although other professors want to teach the famous Amagi Hikaru, this way, the evaluation score at the end of the semester should be much better.
But in my eyes, you are a more worthy student than Amagi Hikaru."
real or fake? ?
In the Duel Academy, students were talking about it.
You actually said that Judai is more worthy of teaching than Guang Ge?
Is it that the professor has poor vision?
"Hahahaha, I'm not talking about strength, I'm talking about things that can be taught. Amagi Hikaru is too smart and too careful, there's no need for me to teach him." The fierce general laughed, "Judai, the reason why you stopped me that day and even tried to stop me and challenge me was because... you remembered the Dark World Demon God Rayne who died in front of you, right?"
Judai's body shuddered.
"How do you know?"
"I told you, Amagi Hikaru is too smart and too careful." The general responded casually, "Since you challenged me and I want to duel in class, then, isn't this natural...
That kid Amagi Hikaru gave me the video of you at the critical point yesterday."
Jim, O'Brien, Maruto Sho, Kenzan, and several people who were at the scene at the time immediately turned their heads to look at Amagi Hikaru.
Tian Chengguang coughed and didn't say much.
"That guy's mentality is even crazier than that bald guy named Chima Lingwang. He is a genuine fusion absolute and is not affected by any external information. But you are obviously not like that." Professor Mengjiang waved his hand and said casually, "After watching your video, I found that I didn't pay enough attention to you."
"professor?"
"PTSD... Post-war syndrome. When I was a soldier, I heard that some of my colleagues had this disease." The general said while smoking, "Ha, maybe I have it too... but I never showed it."
"I heard that the demon originally wanted to make you their master, but died in the duel to protect you."
"Originally, you had no good feelings towards them at all, but because of this incident, you developed sympathy for them. After that, you kept those demons from the dark world, right?"
Judai nodded silently.
“It is precisely for this reason that you are willing to believe in the elves and protect them—but this time we are facing someone who is trying to invade, disguised as a human, and trying to kill your friends!
This kind of enemy must not be tolerated!"
"I can understand you, because kindness is the most shining warmth in the world... What our peacekeeping forces do is for peace and kindness."
As he recalled, he said: "I have lived in the most horrific battlefields in the world. I have seen young soldiers die tragically on the battlefield. I have seen entire companies sacrificed because of a moment of kindness...
My comrade saw a child and couldn't bear to let him go, so the child was already wrapped in explosives by the terrorists and became a human bomb, which killed my comrade on the spot... and I could only watch his limbs scatter and fall in front of my face, splashing my helmet with scarlet..."
! !
Judai stared at him blankly. There was silence for a while.
"But... I don't hate you, and I don't hate kindness." He began to say, "I once asked a dying comrade if he regretted anything. He said he did. What he regretted was not the choice he made at the time, but that he regretted not doing a good job of vetting at the time."
"This is the price." The professor put the cigarette back into his mouth.
“Judai, the professor can understand whatever you want to do, but can you accept and understand the [price]?
Nothing in this world is free.”
cost……
Judai looked at the card in his hand in a deep voice.
What level of...price can I accept?
The memory of Overlord that he had accidentally seen flashed through his mind, as well as the history of Overlord that Professor Cobra had told him in class before...
Can you accept that kind of [price]?
Do not--
Absolutely not!
Because that would impose a price on other lives.
So... I can't impose my own ideas on others!
It dawned on him.
