Chapter 42. The [Moonlight Sword-Dancing Tiger Princess] with 8400 Attack Power!
Chapter 42. The [Moonlight Sword-Dancing Tiger Princess] with 8400 Attack Power!
"Furthermore," Yu Feng continued calmly, seeing her shocked expression, "I don't know how much you know about the Moonlight deck. Usually, people who have heard of Moonlight may not know much about its effects, but they should all know the attack power of the Moonlight Ace Monster."
"If I summon the [Moonlight Sword-Dancing Tiger Princess] with 3000 attack and unknown growth potential in the first round, it might alert you and make you cautious about using Mirror Lure. You might not even choose to take it, but instead use other methods to deal with it. In that case, the bait tactic that I painstakingly constructed would be meaningless."
His gaze was intense as he stared directly at Er'er: "That's why, in the first round, I spared no expense and used the seemingly powerful 3500 ATK monster, 'Moonlight Lion Princess,' whose effect is actually more focused on resistance, as bait. It's tempting enough to effectively attract your desire for control, while its effect ensures that it's difficult to remove with regular cards, forcing you to use that one and only Mirror Lure ability."
"But my true killing move, the [Moonlight Sword Dancer Tiger Princess], which relies on graveyard resources and whose attack power can grow infinitely... is hidden in a burst of power from behind."
Youfeng spoke clearly and logically, explaining the calculations and deeper meanings behind each step.
Jingzhi Yuwu Er'er listened quietly, but the turmoil in her heart could no longer be calmed.
I see……
From the moment he played the first card, he was thinking not only about the current round, but about the entire duel, including his opponent's psychology and reaction patterns.
Lure the enemy, feign weakness, deplete key resources, conceal the true core, and finally, when the enemy believes they have the situation under control, reveal the deadly fangs that have been prepared all along, enough to overturn everything...
This cunning, this strategic planning, this grasp of the battle situation and people's hearts... is far more profound and terrifying than she had anticipated.
Her ethereal eyes reflected Youfeng's calm and confident figure, as well as the two golden sword maidens whose attack power had already swelled to a terrifying level.
You Feng then waved his hand and said with a smile, "Of course, my turn isn't over yet!"
"Of course," Youfeng's voice pulled her back from her thoughts. He waved his hand gently, his smile still calm. "My turn is not over yet."
He had somehow managed to pick up a magic card between his two fingers, which exuded a cool moonlight and a delicate fragrance.
"Activate the Spell Card from my hand—[Moonlight Fragrance]!"
Special Summon a "Moonlight" monster from my Graveyard!
"Return, [Moonlight Blue Cat]!"
A flash of light appeared in the graveyard, and a cat-like beast warrior, its body entirely blue and its eyes cunning and agile, leaped out and landed silently on the field.
"And activate the effect of [Moonlight Blue Cat]!" Yufeng's speech quickened, carrying a final, decisive tone. "If this card is successfully Special Summoned, target 1 'Moonlight' monster on your field other than 'Moonlight Blue Cat,' and until the end of this turn, that monster's ATK becomes double its original ATK!"
He waved his arm, pointing directly at a blonde swordswoman in the arena.
"My chosen target is—[Moonlight Sword-Dancing Tiger Princess]!!"
"roar--!!!"
The chosen Sword Tiger Princess let out a roar that echoed throughout the cave, and the golden aura around her surged like a volcanic eruption! The violent energy flow formed a visible whirlwind, and the twin blades in her hands hummed and trembled, as if they carried the power to cut through mountains!
"The original attack power was 3000, which has been doubled to 6000, plus an additional 2400 attack power due to the increased number of Beast Warriors in the Graveyard Excluded Zone—"
Youfeng's voice was resolute, announcing the final number:
"At this moment, its attack power is—8400 points!!"
"Eight...eight thousand four hundred?!" Mirror Spirit Nini's pupils contracted sharply, and for the first time, an almost blank expression of astonishment appeared on her ethereal face. Her exquisitely beautiful face froze, as if she couldn't comprehend the absurd and terrifying number before her.
8400 attack power! This is completely beyond the scope of a regular Duel Monster, reaching a terrifying level that can win a battle in one hit or even crush the vast majority of battles!
Who is testing whom here? This terrifying burst of power is practically a blatant mockery of the word "trial"!
"Then next," You Feng didn't give her time to process her shock, his arm suddenly swinging forward, his voice booming, "Enter battle mode!"
A terrifying fighting spirit, like a tangible wave, swept towards the arena of Mirror Mage Nin Nin!
However, as the guardian of the trial, Nin-Nin the Mirror Mage was by no means someone who would sit idly by and wait for death. After the initial shock, a strong sense of crisis made her instantly adjust her state to the extreme.
"So, the battle has finally begun?" She waved her hand, her ethereal voice carrying a hint of desperate resolve. "I've been waiting for this moment—for a very long time!"
"Open the face-down card! Activate the Continuous Trap Card—[Major Arrest]!!"
A card beside her flipped open and transformed into countless gleaming steel chains, shooting towards Youfeng's field with a whooshing sound!
"Target one face-up monster your opponent controls and gain control of it! While this monster is on your field, it cannot attack or activate its effects. When this monster leaves the field, this card is destroyed!"
Her gaze sharpened, fixing on the dazzling, terrifyingly powerful figure on the field, like a golden sun: "I've chosen your [Moonlight Sword Dancer Tiger Princess] (Attack Power 8400)!"
"Heh..." Youfeng chuckled lightly, shaking his head as if he had expected this. "Sorry to disappoint you again. The effect of [Moonlight Sword Dancer Tiger Princess] is: 'This card cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects.'"
"What?!" Mirror Mage Er'er's breath hitched. It's that trick again?!
But her reaction was also extremely fast. Almost the instant You Feng finished speaking, the direction of the chain phantom suddenly changed!
"Then choose your other monster—[Moonlight Maiden]!"
Whoosh!
Steel chains instantly wrapped around the purple-haired girl holding the incense burner, dragging her irresistibly onto the grounds of the Mirror Mage Er'er.
"Of course, that's not enough!" Mirror Mage Nini knew that simply capturing a support monster wouldn't turn the tide; she needed to create more variables. With another wave of her hand, another face-down card was revealed!
"Open the second face-down card! Activate the Trap Card—[Chained Bomb]!"
A trap card depicting a bomb and chains emitted a dangerous red light.
"Target one face-up monster on your field, equip this card as an Equip Card that increases its ATK by 500!"
She raised her hand and pointed to the illusory figure on the field who resembled her and stood quietly.
"My chosen target is—my [Mirror Mage Nur]!"
