Chapter 24: Poru, Who Has an Indissoluble Bond with the steps...Ameruda

"Well!"

[Ameruda: 4000→3000lp]

In the preparation phase when Amaluda finished drawing cards, the effect of [Lava Demon] was automatically activated, causing Amaluda Storm to inhale a large mouthful of lava, and his base points dropped by a full 1,000 points.

And because Ameluda had activated [Oliha Gang's Barrier] before, the 1,000 points of damage were so real that his skin was burned red.

However, in comparison, Amaluda still cares more about the prophecy that Isis just showed.

Amalda didn't regret having to discard the [Explosive Armor] he had just drawn by [Gravekeeper's Trap]. After all, he added this card to the deck purely to use it to deceive [Tornado]. For cards like this, if you lose them, it’s no big deal.

But the problem is that I currently have 0 cards in my hand, but Isis's [Gravekeeper's Trap] is a permanent trap card, and can always be used as long as it is my card drawing phase.

In other words, in the next duel, if Isis Isildar, a woman, can always accurately predict, or "see what cards she will draw in the future," she will always be in a state of drawing cards and then discarding them. , was never able to replenish even one card in his hand, while Isis on the opposite side could keep drawing cards.

Ameruda finally understood why Isis used her brother Malik Isildar's [Lava Demon]. What was important was not the ability of [Lava Demon] to free the opponent's monsters from summoning, but that The ability to deal effect damage every turn!

My judgment was completely wrong. This woman's strategy was not at all a deck-destroying tactic centered around [Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld]. Instead, she forcibly changed the duel back to the early monster attack and defense, using monsters that she could continuously replenish. The blood-burning tactic of blocking [Lava Demon God] as a wall, and then using the effect of [Lava Demon God] to burn oneself alive!

Who is this person? Can he still play cards well? It’s too late in the underworld!

After Amaluda understood Isis's tactics, she felt a little lucky. Fortunately, Isis's opponent was not Baron and Rafiru, but herself, who was the best at using the monsters in the cemetery among the three swordsmen of Doma.

Thanks to the effect of [Ancient Guard - Argento] used by Isis in the last round, five cards were piled into her graveyard, including three level 4 mechanical monsters, [Mecha Guard], [Mecha Soldier] and [Mecha Sniper].

Hum, there are three level 4 monsters!

By excluding them from the graveyard, I can summon my invincible [Mecha Troops? Destruction Armed Forces] again!

Although there is no way to replenish the cards in the hand, the base points can only be reduced little by little.

But, it doesn't matter!

As long as I use the effects of the monsters in the graveyard to gather enough troops on the field, and break through the opponent's defense within three rounds while still holding on to basic points, victory will still belong to me!

Thinking of this, Yameruda said proudly: "It's just a short lead. Now you use [Lava Demon God] to deduct my basic points. I will deduct them from you soon."

Don't be complacent, woman! "

"My ace monster will not retire easily. I activate the effect of [Mecha Troops? Destruction Armed Forces] in the graveyard to destroy the [Mecha Guards], [Mecha Soldiers] and [Mechas] with level 4☆ in the graveyard. Exclude these three monsters from "Armor Sniper], so that the total level is 12☆ or more!"

"Roar, my obsession, my soul!!"

"[Mecha Troops? Destruction of Armed Forces]!!!"

The dark mud truck [Mecha Troop? Destruction Armed Force] roared out of the ground and slowly rose on the field of Amaluda. Seeing this, Amaluda laughed wildly: "Humph, Huh, huh! Hahahahaha!"

"How about it, do you feel scared when you see my nightmare-like monster? Don't blink, this is the last monster you will see!"

Baron, who was watching, heard Yameruda's words and felt that his lines had been taken away.

"Did that guy Amaluda get frustrated with Seto Kaiba? He's usually just a little bored, but he's so angry today."

Rafilu glanced at Barong: "Your sixth sense is as accurate as ever."

"Um?"

"No, it's nothing." Rafilu shook his head and had no idea of ​​exposing Yameluda's shortcomings. Baron didn't care either and turned back to look at the field.

"That woman named Isis is really unlucky. She unexpectedly met Ameruda who was in a bad mood. It seems that she will have a not so good memory next." Ba, who was relatively stream-of-conscious during the duel. The dragon did not realize how disgusting the [Tomb Guard Trap] activated by Isis was. Instead, because Amaluda summoned [Mecha Troops? Destruction Armed Forces] again, he thought it was his advantage.

"Although, the memories won't last long. Anyway, she will be defeated soon and her soul will be sealed."

But after hearing Baron's judgment, Rafiru denied it: "You are wrong, Baron. The person who is at a disadvantage now is not Isis Isildar, but Ameruda."

"And haven't you noticed that even though it has been so long since Amaluda announced the summons for the [Mecha Force? Destruction Armed Forces], Amaluda's ace has yet to arrive."

"In fact, that woman didn't panic at all, and Amaluda's actions were still in her calculations!"

Naturally, he was not the only one who discovered what Rafiru said. Amaluda also noticed that the [Mecha Troops? Destruction Armed Forces] he called for had not crawled out of the ground for a long time.

Just showing its head, [Mecha Force? Destruction Armed Force] just stayed there and stopped taking action. At the same time, Amaluda also found that he could not remove the card from the graveyard of the duel disk or summon it. action!

"What, what's going on!?" Amaluda was puzzled by the strange situation in front of him. He tried his best with his fingers, but still couldn't take out the card in the graveyard. His eyes were always watching the [Mecha Troops? There was no movement at all [Armed Forces of Destruction], "[Armed Forces of Destruction], why didn't it move?"

"Move, [Destroy the Armed Forces]!"

"Move [Armed Forces of Destruction], why are you not moving!"

After trying but still unable to make his cards and monsters move, Ameruda glared directly at Isis: "What the hell is going on? What have you done, Isis? Isildar!"

"What did I do? Aren't you supposed to see this clearly, Ameruda?" Of course Isis knew what was going on in the scene before her, but maybe it was because of the so-called "near Zhu Zhi" "Chi", she did not directly tell the reason, but put on an innocent expression rather wickedly, "In response to your special summons, I have not activated any effects, even Gaika is intact. Do not move."

"Oh, I understand, Ameruda, I understand why you didn't summon the monster. You are actually afraid of me. After losing the duel with Seto Kaiba, you are like a near-miss now. People who die from snake venom are extremely frightened even when they see a rope.”

"Because of this fear, you yourself subconsciously refused to summon monsters to be my enemy. As your Tamashi [Mecha Force? Destruction Armed Force], you also complied with your ideas and did not appear!"

"Stop talking nonsense, how could I be afraid of a guy like you!" Amaluda seemed to be irritated by Isis's words and said angrily.

"Really, are you really not afraid of me? Think about it, Amaluda, were you in the same state during the duel with me and the duel with others?" Isis put on a stand-in. Amaluda's analytical tone said, "He is also afraid of [the reversal between the real world and the underworld], he is also afraid of [the Valley where the royal family sleeps], and he is frightened by the [Lava Demon God]."

"Obviously, you don't feel at ease in a duel with me, Amaluda."

Isis's tone changed and she said calmly: "People live to overcome fear and uneasiness, and they live for 'peace of mind'. Fame, wealth, peaceful life, and even 'justice' and 'ideal' are all people use." These things are used to make oneself feel at ease. It can even be said that people live just to feel at ease."

"Since being my enemy makes you so uneasy, why don't you take that monster back so that you can feel at ease, Amaluda?"

Faced with Isis's "suggestion", Amaluda's face was filled with the humiliation of being looked down upon: "That kind of thing is absolutely impossible. How could I do it because of things like 'fear' and 'uneasiness'?" Back off!”

"The screws of the duel plate must have become loose and the contact failed. I will summon the [Armed Forces of Destruction] right now to show you!"

"Come out, my ace, [Mecha Force? Destruction Armed Forces]!"

The roar of the mechanical device's operation suddenly sounded along with Yameruda's order, but before he heard the sound, Yameruda's face relaxed at all. He found that he still couldn't pull the card in the cemetery, and Under Yameruda's gaze, the [Mecha Troops? Destruction Armed Forces] that had half protruded from the ground on his field actually retracted some! ?

"Say one thing and do another, Yameruda, hum hum hum." Isis, who had no card in her hand, folded her free hands in front of her chest, standing on the top of the steps and looking down at the surprised Amero da. Da, "Why is your monster back again? Sure enough, you are still afraid of the duel with me and want to escape, right?"

Amaluda looked in disbelief: "What the hell! I obviously want to summon a monster!"

"I did draw cards outward just now!"

"Humph, you're still wavering, America, you're scared, even to the point where even though you thought about summoning a monster to fight, you were so scared that your fingers unconsciously returned the card. ?”

Amaluda's pupils shrank.

‘Is it really what Isis Isildar said? ’

'I am paranoid and afraid of a duel with her because I still failed to surpass Seto Kaiba after years of hard work and my pride was shattered after we ended up in an awkward draw? ’

‘Am I really——’

"Don't be influenced, Ameruda!"

Rafilu, who was outside the court, saw that Amaluda was distracted by Isis's words, and immediately reminded him.

Isis predicts the future and has some weird "safety theory". Besides showing off her magical temperament, she is indeed very confusing, but Rafilu did not expect that Amaluda was actually almost taken by Isis. Off.

Among the Three Musketeers of Doma, although Rafiru has long known that Amaluda has the most serious psychological problem among the three, it is understandable that Baron pursues a very demanding stimulation and a peaceful life, although it is somewhat contradictory. , Rafiru himself just regards the card monsters as his family, which is much better than some people who regard the cards as their wives.

But Ameruda is different. He has no pursuit in life. In other words, his only pursuit is the Kaiba Group and Seto Kaiba. That kind of life that only exists for revenge can be done when facing Seto Kaiba. It bursts with great power, but is otherwise fragile.

At least Rafiru felt that other duelists would never be influenced by Isis and feel that they were really afraid of each other just because of some interference. Of course, there is also the reason why Isis keeps adding "Seto Kaiba" in her words to influence Amaluda.

Although duel monsters do involve a large degree of psychological warfare, but to use psychological tactics to this extent, I have to say that this woman Isis Isildar has a really dirty heart.

"Although I don't know what's going on, the reason why you can't summon a monster is definitely because of the card on the opposite side." He turned and looked at the helicopter's dashboard, "Move faster, Yameruda, let's Time is running out!”

"I know!" Yameruda replied to Rafilu, refocused his attention on the duel, and looked directly into Isis's eyes, "Isis? Isildar, those psychologically inducing words of yours are over. That's it, I won't be affected by you anymore."

"This duel is a duel with my life on the line. My life will never end before I take revenge on the Kaiba Group!"

"Even if there is only one monster, I will defeat you. Change [Lava Demon God] to attack position, and then enter the battle phase!"

【Lava Demon】【def2500→atk3000→3500】

"Attack [Statue of the God of Death - Keldor]! Amaluda Flame!"

Perhaps because of the closing of the world line, Amaluda shouted out the "most orthodox" attack move name of [Lava Demon God] without any instruction, and [Lava Demon God] changed into attack position and swung a huge magma fist. The golden idol on Isis's field was destroyed and sent to the cemetery.

However, because it was in defense position, Isis did not receive any damage, and Amalda, who had no cards to use, had nothing to do after using [Lava Demon].

"My turn is over."

[Ameruda: 3000lp, 0 cards in hand]

【Lava Demon】【atk3500】

(Venue)【Oliha Gang's Barrier】

Looking at the look in Amaluda's eyes, Isis understood that it was indeed what he said, and the trick she had just done would probably not have any effect anymore. Because it could be clearly seen from his eyes that he was almost overflowing with resentment and hatred towards someone.

Obviously, Amaluda is distracting his attention with his obsession with Kaiba, making people don't know whether to praise or complain.

However, if it doesn't work, it won't work. Isis didn't really think of coaxing Amaluda into surrendering, it was just a bad joke. Rather, her strategy can almost be said to have been completed, and Amaluda's thoughts are no longer important.

"This is a trial, Yameruda, a trial that tests your mind. Although you failed to pass the trial, there is no doubt that you have grown in your own way. In that case, as a gift, let me Let me tell you the true power of [Gravekeeper’s Trap].”

Isis pointed at the permanent trap card on her field: "The third effect of [Gravekeeper's Trap] is what you have seen before, which invalidates your ability to draw cards. And its first effect is, as long as If there is [Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld] in my graveyard, the opponent cannot activate the effects of the cards in the graveyard, nor can he special summon the monsters in the graveyard."

"As well as the second effect, I can discard a card from my hand during the main phase of both parties, and then add a [Gravekeeper] or an earth attribute? Angel-type monster to my hand from the deck."

Hearing Isis's words, Amaluda suddenly realized: "So that's the case, no wonder I can't use the effect of [Destruction Armed Forces] in the graveyard to specially summon itself, not even the exclusion card."

After clearing up his doubts, America couldn't help but feel relaxed for a moment on his face.

And Isis also started her turn, drawing a card: "My turn, draw a card."

After drawing the card, Isis didn't look at it and activated the card directly: "Activate the effect of the [Treasure Card Falling from the Sky] I drew, and both parties will replenish their hands to six cards."

"Huh?" Yameruda didn't expect Isis to actually use [Treasure Card from Heaven]. Didn't she just use the tactic of blocking herself from drawing cards? What's going on now that she's letting herself draw cards? Could it be that she has changed her tactics again?

Unable to figure it out, he watched the empty-handed Isis draw six cards, and Amaluda unceremoniously drew six cards into his hand.

[Tornado] [Restrictions Lifted] [Notice from the Royal Palace] [Unusual Food] [Mysterious Chinese Pot] [Mecha Mechanical Skeleton]

Wow, this hand of cards is simply invincible. How can I say satisfied?

The next round I come up with a set, fry [Lava Demon] to see how it deducts my blood, and the annoying [Gravekeeper's Trap] of Whirlwind, the effect is disgusting, look at the card picture and recall Considering the origin of the card, America always had the illusion that she was eating dog food from Hayabusa Kobayashi and Isis Isildar.

There are also [Notice from the Royal Palace] that specifically disables traps, and [Mecha Mechanical Skeleton] that can search for other [Mecha] monsters. If I couldn't win with such a good hand, I would have put this [Oliha Gang's] Enchantment】eat.

At this time, Amaluda was immersed in the joy of drawing a good card, and he was not aware of what he was going to face next.

When Isis saw the cards in her hand, she calmly pulled out one of them: "Activate the effect of [Vision-Zolga] in my hand. I have [Vision-Zolga] on the field. ] If there is an earth attribute? Angel-type monster other than that, special summon it directly from your hand."

"Also, activate the effect of [Sword Priest-Mdora] in my hand, discard an earth attribute? Angel-type monster, and special summon it from my hand."

The number of cards in Isis' hand that had been added to six was instantly reduced by three, and on her field, two more monsters appeared, one of which was [Sword Priest-Mdora] that had appeared once before, and its " The effect of "Retrieve [Gravekeeper's Trap] from the Deck" was not activated again. It seemed that Isis only had one card in her deck.

The other [Vision-Zolga] is just a 4☆ monster, also in defense position.

However, after gathering three monsters, if Isis hadn't handed over [La's Winged Divine Dragon] before and was accepted by Baron, Americaruda might have been worried about whether the other party would summon it. "god".

After Isis summoned three monsters, she declared: "In this way, I have three monsters on the field, and the puzzle leading to victory has been completed. Amaluda, because of the [Treasure Card from the Sky] And you, who are full of hope, are about to face the ultimate reversal!"

"Let me explain in advance, I have more than one [Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld] in my deck."

Smiling mysteriously, Isis pressed the button to activate the Gaika, activating the mysterious Gaika in her backfield: "I activate the Gaika in the backfield, [Reversal of Despair and Hope]!"

"This card can only be activated when there are three or more angel-type earth attribute monsters on your field. Send all monsters on the field to the graveyard!"

With the activation of Isis Gaika, both the three earth-attribute angels on Isis's field and the [Lava Demon God] on Ameluda's field had blue soul fire rising from their bodies at the same time. Then it dissipated, and the body instantly turned into dust.

Although [Lava Demon] is a monster on Amalda's field, since it was sent to the opponent's field by Isis, it is sent to Isis's graveyard.

Although the number of cards in Isis's graveyard has also increased to 20 that meet the activation conditions of [Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld], there are still nine cards in Amaluda's graveyard at the moment, and it will not be possible to draw them for a while. He was stuck and lost, so Amaluda was not at all panicked at this moment.

And [Reversal of Despair and Hope] still has effects being processed.

"After all the monsters are sent to the graveyard, both duelists can select monsters from the opponent's graveyard up to the number of monsters sent to the opponent's graveyard by this effect and special summon them on their field." Isis said, spreading her hands and saying, "Very soon. Unfortunately, no monsters were sent to your graveyard, Ameruda, so I cannot special summon the monsters in your graveyard.”

"At the same time, because of the effect of [Gravekeeper's Trap], you cannot special summon monsters in the graveyard, even my graveyard."

"So now, let's start processing the last effect of [Reversal of Despair and Hope]."

Isis paused and drew a card from the deck: "If there is [Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld] in my graveyard, I will choose a trap card from the deck to cover it on the back field. The card set by this effect can be activated during this turn."

"What I chose is this second one [Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld]!"

"Then because there are currently 21 cards in my graveyard, I will pay 1,000 basic points to activate [Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld] to exchange the decks of both parties with the graveyard!"

[Isis: 4000→3000lp]

Seeing Isis paying 1,000 basic points to activate [Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld], Ameruda had no sense of crisis at all and said sarcastically: "It's too late to activate that [Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld] at this point. It’s too late, don’t forget that I also have 9 cards in my graveyard, and I can still hold on for another nine rounds after exchanging my deck and graveyard.”

"You no longer have any monsters on the field that can serve as a barrier. You can't even survive half of the round in front of my [Mecha] deck. After your dirty tactics failed, you just lost your way." , Isis? Isildar!"

As the [Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld] was activated, blue soul fire rose in the cemetery area on the duel board of Amaluda and Isis. Being ridiculed by Amaluda, Isis curled her lips and said, "Are you tired of Wadoka?"

"When did you have the illusion that there are nine cards in your graveyard, Amaluda?"

"Nani!?"

Hearing this, Amaluda looked down, and happened to see two soul-state monsters in Isis's graveyard reaching out to his duel plate, each grabbing a handful of cards and returning them. Shrink!

Those were the [Sword Priest-Mdora] and [Goddess Statue-Keldor] who were sent to the graveyard by [Reversal of Despair and Hope]!

"Chain [Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld], I activated the effects of these two monsters in the graveyard." Isis took out two monster cards from the graveyard and banished them, "During her or the opponent's turn, banish them from the field or the graveyard. These two cards have the ability to return up to five cards from the opponent's graveyard to the deck. However, if there is no [Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld] in my graveyard, the number is reduced to 3. uu read the book

"

"Due to the effects of [Sword Priest-Mdora] and [Storm God Statue-Keldo], I returned all nine cards in your graveyard to the deck, and then applied [Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld] 】The effect, both parties exchange their respective decks and graveyards!"

Red and blue lights bloomed, and even the ominous green circle at the feet of the two men could not conceal this miraculous power that reversed the boundary between life and death. After the light dissipated, the number of cards in Isis's deck became 19 after excluding two monsters, while the number of cards in Amaluda's deck was 0.

The scene before him was truly unbelievable: "I can't accept it!"

A minute ago, Amaluda was full of hope because of a good hand of cards, but now he fell into extreme despair because the deck was reduced to only one card. It really matched Isis's [Despair and Hope] Reverse] card name.

As if to kill someone, Isis showed a card in her hand: "General, Amaluda, I win. For the last magic card, I activate [Hand Card Erase], both sides - ―”

"Crack!"

Wrapping the emerald chain that was hanging around his neck around his hand as a finger, Rafiru jumped out of the helicopter and punched the originally indestructible [Oliha Gang's On the barrier, the green ring suddenly shattered.
