Chapter 18 Larry's Defeat
"Enter the battle phase, Rabbit Dragon, attack that face-up card, Snow Mountain Oppression!" Qiushan waved his hand and ordered Rabbit Dragon.
Rabbit Dragon flew into the air, flapped its wings, and a strong cold current rushed out. Under the cold wind, the covered monster card revealed its true appearance.
[Dragon Washer Maid 2 stars def: 1600]
"Stop it! Open the face-up card, Mirror Wall of the Screen!" When Rabbit Dragon launched an attack, Larry opened the face-up card in the backcourt: "According to the effect of this card, your monster's attack power will be halved!"
When the cold wind fanned by Rabbit Dragon blew over, a transparent crystal wall stood up in front of the shivering Little Blue, blocking the cold outside. However, before Little Blue could breathe a sigh of relief, a space turbulence suddenly appeared and blew the wall to pieces! Poor Little Blue was also frozen into ice and sent to the cemetery.
"What?!" Larry looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.
"This is what I realized after the last duel with Mr. Kobayashi!" Seeing Larry's doubts, Akiyama took the initiative to explain: "I activated the quick-attack magic card from my hand, Cosmic Cyclone! You can pay 1,000 life points to exclude a magic and trap card on your field."
Akiyama LP: 3,000 → 2,000
After breaking the small blue that served as a wall, Akiyama had nothing to do and ended the round.
Rabbit Dragon Star Level: 6 → 8
Front Field: Rabbit Dragon
Back Field: Cover Card × 2
Hand Card: 0
"Is it really worth it?" Larry couldn't help asking as he saw the opponent's life value drop to half.
"Of course it's worth it." It wasn't Akiyama who answered Larry, but Lou Bai who was watching from the side: "With the cost of 2,000 life points, Akiyama now has not only a monster with an attack power close to that of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, but also two cover cards to interfere with you, and you have nothing on the field."
Larry bit his lip and said nothing, but silently drew the top card of the deck.
It's Dragon Maid - River Dragon, and the card that can be used to match it has just been destroyed and entered the graveyard.
What if I didn't just defend, but covered both traps, and normally summoned Laundry Dragon Maid and activated its effect? In this case, the mirror wall of my screen will pass under the escort of God's Advice, and the Rabbit Dragon summoned by the opponent with two cards and 1000 life points will be destroyed by the Laundry Dragon Maid that turned into River Dragon in the battle phase, and will receive, uh, a lot of damage!
Unfortunately, the operation that has been made cannot be reversed. Larry can only put his eyes back to the present and consolidate his defense in order to make a turnaround.
"When there are no other monsters on the field, Unknown Synchron can be special summoned, and then cover a monster, cover a backfield, and the turn ends." After covering the triple shield, Larry ended the turn.
【Unknown Synchro 1 star def:0】
Front: Unknown Synchro, card-cover (Mediocrity)
Back: card-cover (Wall of Power)
Hand: 1 (Dragon Maid - River Dragon)
"Oh! Okay, audience friends, we can see that under the pressure of Akiyama's powerful monsters, Larry chose to consolidate his defense, but in the long run, the resources of the two will be slowly pulled apart. How should Larry face this situation? Larry, big crisis!"
After instructing Larry, Lou Bai, who likes to watch the fun, returned to his commentary seat.
"Really, where are the audience?" Larry muttered quietly on the side.
Really? Lou Bai glanced at the angry little Blue floating beside Larry in the form of an elf, and said to Larry without changing his expression: "Ahem, don't care about these details."
"This young duelist, sometimes you can't get more without giving up something." After the operation rights were transferred to Akiyama, this kind-hearted strong man smiled and said to Larry.
"My turn, draw a card!" After drawing a card from the deck, Akiyama looked at the field: "There are two wall monsters, but it's useless! I will go directly to the battle phase."
"Enter the battle phase, but before that, I want to open this card!" Akiyama pressed a button on the duel disk, and one of the two cover cards revealed its true appearance. The card picture showed a blue Tyrannosaurus wantonly destroying the obstacles in front of it.
"Activate the continuous trap card, Dragon's Reverse Scale! As long as this card exists in the magic trap zone, the dragon monsters on my field will gain the defense penetration ability!" Akiyama explained.
Damn! Larry hurriedly looked at the defense of the monsters on his field. The Mediocre Ghost was 400 points, as thin as brittle paper, and the Unknown Synchronizer was even more "powerful", with a big "0" written in the defense column. If the attack passed, his life value advantage would be completely gone! Fortunately, there is this trap card, Wall of Power. Although it costs a lot of cards to be sent to the graveyard, it can at least ensure that you will not be hurt in this round!
"It's time to attack!" Akiyama raised his hand and said excitedly: "First, Rabbit Dragon's attack! Rabbit Dragon, penetrate the Unknown Synchro!"
With the blessing of the continuous trap card Dragon's Reverse Scale, this time Rabbit Dragon did not use its wings to blow out cold wind to attack, but flew into the sky and swooped down on the Unknown Synchro.
"I can't let you pass! Open my only cover card, Wall of Power!" As Larry pressed a button on the duel disk, six cards flew out from the top of the duel disk and turned into a card shield to block Larry, but... the Unknown Synchro was outside the shield.
Unknown Synchron: Master, why are you just watching? ! Could it be that you betrayed too?
Larry: OMO
"Okay, we can see that under the attack of Rabbit Dragon, in order to avoid battle damage, Larry opened the face-up card, Wall of Power. With the help of this trap card, Larry can not only completely resist battle damage, but also use it to pile up a lot of resources in the graveyard, providing opportunities for subsequent counterattacks!"
Listening to Lou Bai's explanation, Larry also breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his head to think. As long as he survives this round and waits until the next round...
"Wait, the scene has a shocking reversal!"
Hearing Lou Bai's roar, Larry hurriedly raised his head, but found that the Rabbit Dragon, which should have been blocked by the Wall of Power and returned in vain, did not disappear. Instead, it was still relying on the power of the dive to fight against the card shield. Under the power of the dragon's dive, the card shield actually cracked? !
"Roar!!!"
With Rabbit Dragon's roar, the card shield was completely broken, and Rabbit Dragon's virtual projection also passed through Larry. The huge impact force made him roll on the ground several times, and then hit the tree and stopped.
Open mouth and close eyes
Larry LP: 4000→1050
"Why? Why didn't the effect of Wall of Power start?" Larry asked puzzledly and unwillingly, supporting himself from the ground with his hands.
"It's the effect of this trap card." Akiyama pointed to the second trap card he had just opened and explained: "Counter Trap Card, Unstoppable, can be activated when there is a Level 7 or higher summoned monster face-up on the field, making the activation of trap cards or monster effects invalid and destroyed."
"Then why did you activate the trap card last turn..." Looking at this trap card, Larry asked a question: "If you used it last turn, you wouldn't have to pay the 1,000 life points of Cosmic Cyclone!"
"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't." Akiyama shook his head and pointed to the magic card in his graveyard, Star Blast, and said: "In the last round, the Rabbit Dragon's level was only six, which did not meet the activation conditions."
Larry dusted himself off, stood up, and said to Akiyama: "You are very strong, but I still persisted in this round."
Akiyama looked at Larry's stubborn expression and said regretfully: "Sorry, this round is about to end. I will activate the continuous magic card I just drew, Psychic Ectoplasm. At the end of the round, both sides can release a face-up monster on their field and inflict damage equal to half of the original attack power of the monster released by the opponent."
"I want to release the Rabbit Dragon on my field!" Akiyama interrupted Larry's muttering.
"What?" Hearing this, Larry looked at Akiyama in disbelief and shouted, "Rabbit Dragon should be your trump card! How can you liberate your own trump card monster? Your monster is crying!"
"No, the best reward for dueling monsters is to lead them to victory!" Akiyama responded seriously and seriously, "Whether it is LP or the monster itself, these are things that can be abandoned for victory. Your teacher asked me to duel with you, probably because he wanted me to tell you this."
Akiyama raised his head, looked at Rabbit Dragon with a gentle expression, and shouted loudly, "Go, buddy! This is a necessary sacrifice for victory!"
Under Akiyama's command, the white Rabbit Dragon turned into a beam of light and passed through Larry, taking away his last bit of LP.
Larry LP: 1050→0
