Chapter 1489

"Eh?"

Even Keith was stunned when he saw the cover card opened on the field of Judai.

Even though Keith was wearing sunglasses, Judai could tell from his expression that he was asking, "Why would someone bring such a weird card?" Judai chuckled and explained, "Although the card [Mirror that Absorbs Light] is a card that specifically targets Light attribute monsters, it's hard to play a big role unless it's against a deck that uses monsters with specific attributes."

"But there's nothing I can do. At least among the Duelists I've met, there are quite a lot of people who use Light attribute monsters, and Dark attribute monsters are not much different. Even those Dark Duelists mostly use decks that are stereotypically filled with Dark attribute monsters. So, bringing a [Magic Mirror that Absorbs Light] will always come in handy, just like now. By the way, I also have a [Magic Mirror that Absorbs Darkness]."

Even Amerda found it difficult to refute what Judai said, because he found that it was just as Judai said, there were indeed quite a lot of Duelists who used decks mainly using Light attribute monsters, and there were also quite a few users of Dark attribute monsters. The number of users of the two attributes combined far exceeded the number of users of the other four attributes.

As for the Dark Duelists' bias, he was unable to refute it, thinking that even himself, although the [Mecha] deck was mostly earth attribute monsters, the symbol of the inner darkness awakened by the "Orichalcum" - the "dark" [Mecha] monsters headed by [Mecha Unit-Destruction Armed Force] were indeed dark attribute monsters.

The same is true for his former colleague Rafiru. Although his soul card is [Guardian·Athos], he also awakened the dark attribute [Guardian·Desses] under the power of "Orichalcum".

It seems that only Baron, that hot-blooded idiot, has been using Earth-attribute [Armor] monsters from beginning to end. Although it is also a dangerous deck that can cause substantial damage, at least it is not a dark attribute.

Not to mention Marufuji Sho and Tenjouin Fubuki, the dark duelists they know, whether it's the vampire Camilla of the "Seven Stars", the mercenary "Titan", or the mastermind behind the scenes, Kagemaru, the decks they use are all dark attribute-based, and just as Juudai said, they can all be restrained by another [Magic Mirror that Absorbs Darkness].

Not to mention the users of decks that mainly use light attribute monsters, among the people they are familiar with, Caesar's Electron Flow, Asuka's [Silent Voice] and [Electrified Angel] are mostly restrained. Not to mention Manjome, he uses both light and dark attributes and is restrained by the two cards used by Judai.

Although it may not be as useful in a duel with ordinary Duelists as it was in Judai's duel with Keith, who knows if there will be a situation in the future where a dark Duelist is dragged into a dark game? It's always a good idea to have one ready so that you can use it when the time comes.

However, this idea was limited to Marufuji Sho, and Tenjouin Fubuki did not have such an idea. It was not because of anything else, in fact, he also wanted to do it, but his deck, whether it was the bird-beast-based [Smurf] deck or the dragon-based [Red-Eyes] deck, had a lot of dark attribute monsters. Putting such a card in it would easily trap himself. Don't worry that he will be trapped before he can restrain the opponent.

[Magic Mirror that Absorbs Darkness] and [Magic Mirror that Absorbs Light], these two cards can only be used by Duelists who have decks that mainly use monsters that are not light or dark attributes, or decks like Judai that have a variety of attributes.

"Because of the effect of [Magic Mirror that Absorbs Flashes], Mr. Keith, the effect of your light attribute [Star Wizard - Scarecrow] on the field will be invalid, and thus Mr. Keith, you will not be able to Special Summon the excluded [Star Wizard - Land Walker] back to the field!"

Looking at the [Star Wizard - Land Walker] that was about to land on the Keys field, Judai waved his hand and ordered the [Magic Mirror that Absorbs Flashes] to prevent the effect of [Star Wizard - Scarecrow] from taking effect.

Seeing this, Keith raised his eyebrows and said, "You are quite capable, kid, but this level of trap can't stop me. In my career, I have seen many people who are better than you in setting up traps in the backcourt. You are far inferior to Hayato Kobayashi and Yugi Muto!"

"Originally, I was a little confused about which of your covered cards should be targeted for this card because I didn't draw a card that could clear a large area of ​​the field, such as [Big Storm]. But now that [Magic Mirror that Absorbs Flashes] has appeared, I don't have to worry about it anymore."

Looking at the cards in his hand, Keith played the card and said, "Chain [Magic Mirror that Absorbs Flashes], I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Double Cyclone] from my hand! You can activate it by targeting a Spell/Trap Card on my field and a Spell/Trap Card on your opponent's field, and destroy those cards!"

"Of course, what I want to destroy is the only magic card on my field - the Field Magic Card [Starry Wonderland - Jade City], and the Continuous Trap Card [Magic Mirror that Absorbs Flashes] on the opponent's field!"

Against ordinary Trap Cards, [Double Cyclone] is not necessarily effective, because some cards can chain the activation of [Double Cyclone] and be activated in advance before being destroyed, and then be destroyed by [Double Cyclone] after it takes effect. In that case, Keith would have wasted the only Quick-Play Magic Card in his hand that can deal with backfield cards. However, continuous traps such as [Magic Mirror that Absorbs Flashes] are special, because their effects are effective while they are on the field and are meaningless after being destroyed.

[Whirlwind] destroying the [Explosive Armor] that is being activated will be meaningless, but it will be very effective if it destroys the [Screen Mirror Wall]. This is why Keith did not rush to play the card in his hand before it was deployed, and Judai did let Keith wait for the right time to activate the [Double Whirlwind], which is now.

And watching the double tornadoes coming in trying to destroy the venue [Star Wonderland - Jade City] and the [Magic Mirror that Absorbs Flashes] that had just been opened in his backcourt and had not yet taken effect, although it seemed that Keith was counterattacking in response to the appearance of the [Magic Mirror that Absorbs Flashes], Juudai's amazing intuition told him that Keith must have other purposes.

——For example, why is it [Double Cyclone] instead of [Cyclone] which can achieve the same effect of destroying one magic or trap card on the opponent's field without destroying the cards on your own field? A professional duelist like Keith doesn't look like someone like Maruto Sho who can't afford expensive cards.

In other words, [Double Cyclone] must have another purpose. Maybe destroying the Field Magic Cards on his own field is Keith's real purpose!

Judai, who had made some guesses, said without hesitation: "Then I will link Mr. Keith's [Double Cyclone] and open another card on my backfield - [Divine Protection of the Elements]!"

"When a Spell or Trap Card is activated, I can activate this by banishing a face-up [E Hero] monster on my field until the End Phase, negating the activation and destroying it!"

When Keith launched [Planet Transformation] and [Star Trek - Jade City] before, Judai thought that it was not the right time, but now with the appearance of this [Double Cyclone], perhaps it is time!

"Neglect and destroy my [Double Cyclone]? Since I can't destroy [Mirror that Absorbs Flashes], I'll chain activate the other effect of my [Star Trek - Scarecrow]. The effects of the Psychic-type [Star Trek] monsters that are Special Summoned in your hand are universal, and can be activated during your opponent's turn. I want to special--"

Keith sneered and was about to play the card from his hand, but when he saw the mark on the upper right corner of the [Elemental Protection] card played by Judai, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression, "Huh!? It's a counter trap?!"

"That's right. A counter trap with spell speed three cannot be chained unless it has a counter trap with the same speed of three. Mr. Keith, you don't have Hayato-sensei's [Red Restart] in your hand, right?" Looking at Keith's remaining cards and his dark face, Judai said with a grin, "It's really a long chain, but it's time to end it!"

C1 [Starry Wonderland - Scarecrow] C2 [Mirror that Absorbs Flashes] C3 [Double Cyclone] C4 [Divine Protection of the Elements], the chain begins to reverse. On the Judai field, [E-hero Absolute Zero] disappears from the field and is temporarily excluded. Before it disappears, it releases a cold wave that turns into ice marks that spread rapidly on the ground. In the blink of an eye, it freezes the two tornadoes that are about to rage on the field into huge ice sculptures. The strong wind cannot sweep away the two frozen ice blocks, and the behavior of destroying cards comes to an end.

While [Star Trek - Jade City] was saved and not actively destroyed by Keith, [Magic Mirror that Absorbs Flashes] also took effect successfully, stopping the actions of [Star Trek - Scarecrow] in the first place, preventing it from successfully summoning the excluded Spider-Walker, causing Keith to pay the basic points in vain.

[Keith Howard: 2000 LP, hand 4→3→2]

[Star Trek-Dark Scimitar] [ATK3000]

[Star Wonderland-Scarecrow][ATK500]

Venue: [Star Wonderland-Emerald City]

At the moment when the chain was processed, without giving Keith a chance to activate other cards, Judai announced again: "It's not over yet! Although [Elemental Protection] only temporarily excludes my [E-hero Absolute Zero], it can still trigger the effect when [E-hero Absolute Zero] leaves the field!"

"When this card leaves the field, is sent to the Graveyard, or is banished, destroy all monsters on your opponent's field!"

Although the effect of [E-hero Absolute Zero] will trigger the effect of [Dark Scimitar] when it is destroyed, there are not only one but two monsters on Keith's field at the moment, and only the [Dark Scimitar] of the Mechanical type will activate the effect when it is destroyed. The [Scarecrow] of the Telekinetic type does not have the Last Words effect.

On the other hand, although the Mechanical-type [Star Trek]'s Last Word Special Summon can Special Summon monsters from the deck, it is limited to those with lower levels than it. It's like a pilot jumping off a battleship. Destroying [Star Trek - Dark Scimitar] and [Star Trek - Scarecrow] in exchange for a [Star Trek] of a lower level is quite cost-effective.

The icicle that froze the [Double Cyclone] suddenly exploded as Judai snapped his fingers, and the flying ice fragments flew everywhere, intending to destroy [Star Odyssey - Scarecrow] and [Star Odyssey - Dark Scimitar] together.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

If [Elemental Protection] had not countered the trap, preventing Keith from chaining [Star Trek - Scarecrow] and playing [Star Trek - Dark Avabar], he would have chained [E-hero Absolute Zero]'s effect and used the power of [Star Trek - Dark Avabar] to counter it. However, there is no if.

Seeing his monsters being destroyed, Keith frowned and said, "You little brat, but because of this, the [Star Trail - Dark Scimitar] that you destroyed has an effect!"

"If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to the Graveyard, I can activate this effect by banishing this card from the Graveyard. From my Deck, Special Summon a Level 7☆ or lower [Star Trek] monster!"

Because of the presence of [Magic Mirror that Absorbs Light] on the Judai field, Keith, who was using the [Star Trek] deck with both light and dark attributes, had to carefully select the monster he wanted to Special Summon. He retrieved a card and placed it on the Duel Board, saying, "The monster I want to Special Summon is this one - a Level 5☆ dark attribute monster, [Star Trek - Delta Shuttle]!"

[Star Trek-Delta Shuttle] [5☆/Dark]

【Mechanical family/effect】

[2000/2000]

Based on the crows controlled by the witch in The Wizard of Oz and the Lambda-class shuttle, a transport plane with a low presence in Star Wars, a strange-looking transport plane descended from the sky and filled the gap on the Keys field. However, it seemed that it was not equipped with any weapons, and its combat effectiveness was questionable. It was better to say that the 2000 points of attack power might be provided by the escort fighter group around it on the card.

(The attack power of the DOG fighter next to the Delta shuttle is exactly 2000 points)
The lineup on the field was further weakened, causing Keith to curl his lips and mutter, "What an unexpectedly difficult kid."

After looking at the two cards in his hand, Keith showed one of them. "Since you won't let me destroy [Star Trek - Jade City], I'll use its second effect first. Once per turn during my Main Phase, I can show any number of [Star Trek] monsters in my hand to my opponent, then return those cards to the deck, shuffle them, and let me draw the number of cards returned to the deck."

"I show the card [Star Trek - Dark Avaba] in my hand, return it to the deck, shuffle it, and draw a card."

After changing his hand, Keith pointed at Judai's field and declared, "I was blocked by your [Elemental Protection] before, but now you don't have a second [Elemental Protection] to stop me, right?"

"I activate my second [Double Cyclone]! Destroy the opponent's [Mirror that Absorbs Flashes] on the backfield and my Field Spell Card [Starry Wonderland - Jade City]!"

Next to the frozen double tornado, a new whirlwind was generated, shattering the [Magic Mirror that Absorbs Flashes] on the back field of the Tenth Generation and the [Starry Wonderland - Jade City] that had been used twice, and the environment returned to the previous clearing in the forest.

At the same time that [Emerald City] was destroyed, Keith retrieved another card from his deck and added it to his hand: "The third effect of [Emerald City] can only be activated when this card in the Field Zone is destroyed. I add a [Emerald City] card from my deck to my hand. I choose the second [Emerald City] in my deck."

"Then, I re-activate [Star Trek - Jade City]. None of its effects have the limit of once per turn as per the card name. I use its first effect again, adding my Level 7☆ [Star Trek - Dark Scimitar] that was banished to my hand, and losing 700 Life Points."

"Then, the second effect of [Star Trek - Jade City] is used. After returning [Star Trek - Dark Scimitar] to the deck and shuffling it, I draw a card."
