This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

seem……

Pandora's tactical understanding seems to be on an even higher level than I just thought.

I thought this guy was going to accumulate offerings through the Killer Tomato and then summon a second Dark Magician, but was he using the Killer Tomato to lure me into summoning a monster to trigger the activation conditions of the Dark Magician's Coffin of Resurrection?

Or rather, he simply didn't have the right opportunity to activate that card.

Dark Magician Resurrection Coffin is a Trap Card that, when an opponent performs a Summon, resurrects Dark Magician from the Graveyard by Tributing that monster and one monster on your field.

In the previous turn, Yushuo was a monster summoned face-down in defense position, which did not meet the activation condition of "flip summon". Therefore, Pandora did not use this card until this turn.

You Shuo didn't think much of it; even losing one Full Tide Fisherman wouldn't matter!

"Then, activate the Continuous Trap Card—DNA Transplant Surgery!!" You Shuo declared loudly. "When this card is activated, it declares one attribute, and changes all monsters on the field to that attribute!!"

"My declaration is that I am a water-type!!"

"Then, a reverse summon—Water Spirit Master Aria!!"

"Activate the effect of Water Spirit Aria: When this card is Flip Summoned, target 1 WATER monster your opponent controls. As long as this card is on the field, you gain control of that monster!!"

"What I want to control is to transform into a water-attribute dark mage!!"

Pandora's expression changed: "What?! It's a combo?!"

The Continuous Trap Card shines brightly, and the attributes of all monsters on the field change at that moment.

Pandora's dark magic robes changed color from red to light blue. Then, the water spirit, Aria, waved her arm, and a bubble floated out, bursting in front of Pandora's dark magic forehead.

An icy blue mark was etched on the black mage's forehead. He walked to the monster arena and pointed his staff at Pandora.

"Hehehe... Interesting, You Shuo." Pandora laughed. "But do you think you can break through my defenses like this?"

"Attack first!!" You Shuo shouted, waving his arm. "Dark Magician!! Attack Killer Tomato!!"

"The Demon Lizard Yihao!!"

"Attack the monster summoned by Killer Tomato!!!"

"Beep beep beep—"

The monsters summoned by Killer Tomato must be in an attack position, and the summoned monsters must have an attack power of 1500 or less.

Therefore, by having Dark Magician probe and clear the way while breaking through the defensive monsters, and then having the more powerful Demon Lizard Yihao attack the Special Summoned monster, more damage can be dealt!

"Bang—"

The bloody tomato exploded, and the blood on the ground reformed, transforming into an evil and bizarre monster.

"Killer Tomato's effect: When this card is destroyed by battle, Special Summon one DARK monster with 1500 or less ATK from your Deck!!" Pandora waved her hand and laughed, "Enter the field!! Magical Gentleman J!!!"

But then, the Demon Lizard Yihao unleashed a powerful punch crackling with electricity, shattering the monster with a deafening roar, and Pandora's LP dropped once more!

"boom!!!!!!"

"Beep beep beep—"

Pandora, LP: 3650 → 2300

The intense impact caused Pandora to take a half step back. He grinned maliciously as he lowered his arm, which had been shielding him from the bright light, his eyes cunning.

You Shuo set a face-down card, ending the turn.

At this moment, You Shuo has three monsters on the field – Dark Magician, Demon Lizard Yihao, and Water Spirit Aria, each of which has considerable combat power.

"Hehehe~ You Shuo, you do have some skill after all~" Pandora adjusted the brim of her magician's hat. "It seems our duel is about to turn into a battle between magicians~"

"Unfortunately, your deck doesn't have much to do with magic."

"So, if I play this card, how will you respond?"

"My turn! Draw a card!!"

"Spell Card Activated—Dark Demon's Curtain!!"

"When this card is activated, both duelists may each pay half of their LP to Special Summon 1 Spellcaster monster from their hand or Deck!!"

"I want to Special Summon the second Dark Magician!!!"

Dark Magician

[Dark Attribute/Mage Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2500/2100]

"Beep beep beep—"

Pandora, LP: 2300 → 1150

"Beep beep beep—"

Pandora, LP: 2300 → 1150

[You Shuo, LP: 3400 → 1700]

Dark Curtain is undoubtedly a very powerful card in Duel City. In this era where the conditions for summoning monsters are very strict, using half of your LP to exchange for a powerful monster from your deck is definitely the best choice!

Both sides' LPs transformed into monsters and appeared on the battlefield.

On one side is the Dark Magician with an attack power of 2500, and on the other side is the normal monster with a relatively low attack power—the Treant.

Pandora smiled coldly: "A normal monster?"

"You should also know very well that monsters in this new era usually have no hidden abilities!"

"Magic Card Activated - Mind Manipulation!!"

"I will regain control of the Dark Magic that rightfully belongs to me!!"

The duel instantly intensified. You Shuo's gaze turned cold, and he flipped his face-down card over: "But at this moment, I activate the Trap Card - Water Spirit Art: Aoi!!"

"I will sacrifice my Dark Magician, a Water-type monster, to the battlefield!!"

"Check your opponent's hand and send one of their cards to the Graveyard!!"

The manipulated dark mage vanished as bubbles, and a giant Chinese character – “葵” – appeared out of thin air, followed by the unfolding of a light blue magic circle!

Pandora's control failed due to the effect of the trap card, forcing her hand to be revealed.

You Shuo glanced at it and made it discard a Continuous Magic Card.

He knew very well that if he discarded a monster card, Pandora could revive it with a card like Monster Resurrection, but if he chose a spell or trap card, the cost of recycling it would increase significantly!

"Very well, very well~" Pandora sneered, "My original plan was just to destroy my own monster~"

"Now, attack signal: Summon - Magical Rima!!"

Colorful light emanated from the card, and a brightly dressed magic clown leaped out of the light.

【Demon-Creator Rishin】

【Four stars】

[Dark Attribute/Mage Race]

Attack/Defense: 1300/1500

"Next, activate the Spell Card - Magician's Combo!!" Pandora shouted. "This card will make two of my Spellcaster monsters on the field count as one monster with 3000 ATK, and the effect will last for one turn!!"

"Now, kill that ugly lizard!!"

"Go!! Dark Magician!!!"

"Boom—"

The Dark Mage and the Magic Clown beside him merged their powers, unleashing a colorful magical energy wave that sent a deafening magic projectile hurtling towards the Demon Lizard Yihao on the field!

The next second, the card shattered, and You Shuo's LP decreased again!!!

"Beep beep beep—"

[Yu Shuo, LP: 1700→1550]

"Hahahaha!" Pandora continued to mock, "How does it feel?! Don't you feel completely suppressed?!"

"As the most skilled magician, my techniques are unparalleled!"

"Your strongest monster must be the Blue-Eyes White Dragon that you haven't summoned yet!!"

"Now, I will bury it!!"

"Spell Card activated - Hand Elimination!!"

"Both duelists discard all cards from their hands and then draw the same number of cards!!"

"Put a card in, it's your turn!!!"

Pandora ended the round with a maniacal laugh, his smile smug.

When it was You Shuo's turn, a rare card was played, replenishing both players' hands. Looking at the cards in his hand, You Shuo smiled and said, "I'm sorry, from this moment on, your rare cards and chip cards belong to me."

Pandora sneered, "What are you talking about? If you have the guts, come and try attacking!"

Pandora has a very insidious Trap Card in her back row – Explosive Armor – which can destroy any opponent's monster that attacks! But Yu Shuo's tactics this round aren't even a battle!

"Spell Card Activated - Spider Silk!" You Shuo announced loudly, "Add one card from this turn and the previous turn that your opponent sent to the graveyard to your hand!"

"I choose the Continuous Spell Card that was sent to the Graveyard by Water Spirit Spell Aoi - Summoning Exophysis!!"

The effect of the Continuous Spell Card - Summoning Exosome is very similar to that of Yugi's Catapult Turtle, both of which inflict effect damage based on the attack power of the monster they release.

However, the effect of the psychic exosome can only be activated at the end of the turn.

"Chirp chirp chirp-"

A sticky spider silk shot out, reaching into Pandora's graveyard and pulling a radiant magic card—Spirit Exophysis—into You Shuo's hand.

"Activate the card - Spirit Exosome!!" You Shuo shouted, slamming it onto the field.

Pandora's expression changed drastically.

He only has around 1000 LP right now. If You Shuo sacrifices a monster with an attack power of 2000 or more, he can be instantly killed!

Although he was fairly loyal to his master, Malik Ishtar, Malik's methods were notoriously cruel, and if he lost the duel, who knew what terrible punishment awaited him.

"Hehehe, are you saying you're going to sacrifice your monster?" Pandora was flustered inside, but she started using "bond kidnapping" with her words, "That's your card, are you really willing to sacrifice it?"

You Shuo's lips curled into a smile: "Who said I was going to sacrifice my own monster?"

Pandora was taken aback.

You Shuo revealed a magic card, "Monster Resurrection," which can revive monsters in both players' graveyards!

"Activate the Spell Card - Monster Resurrection!!" You Shuo shouted, "Special Summon the Dark Magician from your Graveyard to my field!!"

"My turn is over. I activate the effect of the Continuous Spell Card - Exomorphic Body!!"

"At this moment, I can sacrifice one of my monsters!!"

"This will deal you effect damage equal to half of that monster's original attack power!!"

"You lost!! Pandora!!!"

"Boom-"

The dark mage, clad in a crimson robe, transformed into a blur as he charged towards Pandora. Soul fires scattered everywhere, Pandora's LP plummeted, and she was knocked to the ground by the powerful impact!
