399 Can This Game Still Be Played Like This?
In the animation, Paradox did not use this "Malefic Territory". Maybe he didn't have it, or he just didn't draw it.
Yuei Vu was more inclined to think that it may be because the other party was scared by the typhoons when they met last time, so he printed this card in a hurry.
However, the effect of the "Malefic Territory" used by Paradox here was definitely different from the real-life version.
All the real-life versions of "Malefic" monsters shared the same side effect, which was "There can only be 1 face-up 'Malefic' monster on the field". But according to the second effect of the real-life "Malefic Territory", as long as this Continuous Spell existed on the field, that side effect changed into "There can only be 1 face-up 'Malefic' monster on the field with the same name".
But the animated "Malefic" monsters did not have such a problem, so this "Malefic Territory" certainly did not have that effect.
In addition, the real-life "Malefic Territory" had a third effect, which could negate the effects of "Malefic" monsters on the field during the Battle Phase.
But that's also because almost all the effects of the real-life version of "Malefic" monsters were side effects.
The animated "Malefic" monsters had the same effects as their counterpart, so Yuei Vu boldly speculated that the "Malefic Territory" printed by Paradox here did not have the third effect.
Operations of Paradox continued.
"I will then activate the effect of 'Malefic Rainbow Dragon' in my hand." He said lightly, "Send a 'Rainbow Dragon' from the deck to the graveyard, and this card can be directly Special Summoned from the hand.
Come down, the ultimate gem god's sinful form——
——Malefic Rainbow Dragon! "
A rainbow-colored storm appeared, and dark energy erupted in this enclosed space of sin. The huge dragon soared into the sky, surrounded by a halo of seven colors, and spread its black wings, revealing a divine posture like a god.
[Malefic Rainbow Dragon, ATK 4000]
The audience who were watching the live broadcast suddenly went into an uproar.
In an instant, a monster with an attack power of 4,000 was called out!
Even Kaiba couldn't help being a little surprised. Even through the screen, he could feel the unparalleled divine power contained in the rainbow dragon that covered the sky.
What is this blond man… exactly?
"Hmph." Paradox smiled, "I end my turn."
"Then I'll go first." Yusei took the initiative to be the vanguard, "My turn, draw! I activate the Spell Card – Tuning! Add 1 'Synchron' Tuner from my Deck to my hand, then send the top card of my Deck to the GY.
The card I'm going to add to my hand is 'Quickdraw Synchron'!"
Yusei drew the card that popped up automatically from the deck and then sent the top card of the deck to the graveyard, and the deck was automatically shuffled.
"Then there is the effect of 'Quickdraw Synchron' in the hand! By sending 1 monster from my hand to the GY, I can directly special summon it from the hand.
Bring it on! Tuner monster, Quickdraw Synchron! "
Yusei discarded a card in his hand, and a short mechanical soldier who looked like a western cowboy and wore a wide hat suddenly appeared on the field and skillfully pulled out the revolver from the holster around his waist.
[Quickdraw Synchron, ATK 700]
"Next is the effect of 'Quillbolt Hedgehog' in the GY!" The card that was just discarded to the GY immediately popped back into Yusei's hand, "When there is a Tuner monster on my field, I can special summon it from the GY.
Special Summon 'Quillbolt Hedgehog'! "
[Quillbolt Hedgehog, ATK 800]
Yusei said: "Level 5 Quickdraw Synchron, level 2 Quillbolt Hedgehog, tuning!
Gathering roars turn into an echoing arrow that tears through the sky! Become the path that lights the way!"
[5+2=7]
"Synchro Summon!" Yusei raised his arms, and the white light behind him hung down like a waterfall, "Level 7, Junk Archer!!!"
Appearing in the pure white light was a warrior with orange-red armor, holding a light-blue magic bow with sharp arrows mounted on it, and behind the blue eyepieces was the unique sharp sight of an archer.
[Junk Archer, ATK 2300]
If until just now, the players still had doubts about the identities of the two hidden faces beside Yuei Vu, now there was no doubt at all.
Synchro Summon!
And it's still Junk Archer!
Make no mistake, what was hidden under that rabbit headdress was definitely a crab head!
"Brother Crabhead!"
"Yusei my idol!"
"So the unicorn next to him is Judai!?"
"I'm shocked, so the two NPCs in Kaiba Land were Yusei and Judai?"
"What, did I meet them before? Damn it, at that time I just missed the chance to meet the big shots…"
"…"
In contrast, everyone other than the player started to feel confused.
What the hell is that? How did it become a new monster?
Can this game still be played like this?
Some people began to cast their blank eyes on Pegasus, the father of the duel monsters, and in turn, Pegasus looked blankly at the host of the event, Kaiba Seto…
… Kaiba: I really want to know what's going on too!
So the president said nothing, just narrowed his eyes and looked at Yuei Vu who was dueling on the screen.
Yuei ↑ Vu ↓, when this is over, you have a lot to explain to me!
Yusei's round continued.
"The effect of Junk Archer is activated!" Yusei shouted, "Once per turn, I can target 1 monster the opponent controls; banish it until the end of the turn!
I will banish the 'Malefic Rainbow Dragon' on your field! "
The Junk Archer opened his bow and set an arrow, and the arrow turned into a piercing beam of light and swirled out, hitting Malefic Rainbow Dragon's body head-on. But the light did not explode but seemed to ripple slightly in the space.
After a burst of dimensional distortion, Malefic Rainbow Dragon was absorbed into the crack and disappeared from the field.
"In this way, there will be no monsters that can shield you." Yusei pointed to Paradox, "Go, Junk Archer, attack directly!"
Junk Archer raised his bow again—this time with his most destructive piercing arrow attached!
The arrow hit Paradox's body head-on and exploded with a "boom", shocking Paradox's burly body back two steps.
[Paradox, LP 12000 → LP 9700]
Paradox closed his eyes to accept the impact, stood up and lightly patted the dust on his body, and said lightly, "It doesn't hurt or itch."
With 12000 LP, this kind of damage could indeed be said to be painless.
Maybe this was the so-called "stack the thickest armor and suffer the most vicious beating"…
"Set a card, I end my turn." Yusei ignored the other party's taunt, "At the End Phase, the monster that was banished by the Junk Archer will return to the field in the same battle position."
After a burst of dimension distortion, a huge white body descended back on the field, and the roar of the Malefic Rainbow Dragon resounded throughout the world!
