Chapter 1085: Shooting Star!
Chapter 1085: Shooting Star!
"The effect of Shooting Star Dragon!" Yusei said, "Remove itself from the game. Once this turn, I can negate the attack from a monster the opponent controls!"
Yuei Vu's eyes slightly raised, slightly surprised.
Over the years, he almost forgot the animation effect of Shooting Star Dragon.
Because most of the effects of the real-life Shooting Star Dragon and the animation Shooting Star Dragon were the same, he has forgotten this subtle difference.
The real-life Shooting Star Dragon could only negate the opponent's attack by removing itself from the game when the opponent declared an attack. But the animation effect was different. The Shooting Star Dragon in the animation could remove itself from the game at any time during the opponent's turn, and then retain the opportunity to "negate the attack" throughout the entire turn.
The biggest difference was that the original very useless attack declaration trigger effect in the real card was replaced with an active effect that could be triggered at will.
This could be seen as a disguised way to add a very strong resistance to Shooting Star Dragon. Once the opponent launched a tricky clearing effect, or targeted Shooting Star Dragon for a card effect target such as removing from the game or returning to the deck, Yusei could choose to actively chain Shooting Star Dragon's effect, allowing it to be banished to avoid the opponent's attack.
In this way, Shooting Star Dragon could return from the banishment zone at the end of the turn and still exist in the next turn.
This made it particularly difficult to defeat.
In the moment of distraction, Shooting Star Dragon has turned into starlight and disappeared from Yusei's field. The light of the star points blocked around Yuei Vu's "Gaia the Magical Knight of Dragons", as if it was ready to restrain him as long as he had any intention of making any rash moves."I see." Asuka held up her delicate chin, "If it removes itself from the game, Gaia with an attack power of 5200 will be negated even if it launches an attack.
Moreover, the monsters created by ‘Spiral Fusion' can only launch two consecutive attacks when there are monsters on the opponent's field. But now this duelist called Yusei has taken the initiative to remove his own monster, and there is nothing on the field, so Gaia can't launch a second attack."
"Not only that, the Field Spell ‘Galloping Gaia' can block all effects in the Battle Phase." Misawa Daichi explained, "But now the effect of ‘Shooting Star Dragon' has been activated in the Main phase, even ‘Galloping Gaia' can't interfere.
In this way, even in Gaia's field, Shooting Star Dragon can negate Gaia's attack!"
A card with similar effect processing was the "Necro Gardna" that Judai loved to use. The effect of the Necro Gardna could also be activated at any time during the opponent's turn, and the opponent's attack was negated once during this turn. It was basically the same as the animation effect of Shooting Star Dragon.
"Awesome!" Although the poor student Marufuji Sho didn't fully understand, he was still full of admiration, "Did this duelist calculate so much? So strong!"
Yuei Vu thought about it and turned a card placed horizontally on the Duel Disk over.
"I'll turn the first ‘Gaia the Magical Knight of Dragons' left on the field last turn back to attack position."
[Gaia the Magical Knight of Dragons, DEF 2100 → ATK 0]
Yusei was slightly surprised.
Gaia's attack power has been reduced to 0 in the last round because of the card explosion effect. What's the point of turning him to attack position in this situation?
"Battle!"
Yuei Vu directly entered the Battle Phase, and the field seemed to come alive at this moment. Waves of heat rolled in the middle of the field one after another, and the two D-Wheels circled along the outer edge at high speed, one after the other, and the spinning tires dragged dragon-like flames.
"At this moment, the effect of the Field Spell ‘Galloping Gaia' is applied." Yuei Vu said, "As long as ‘Dragon Knight Gaia' is on the field, the opponent cannot activate any card or effect during the Battle Phase."
Sure enough, Yusei turned his head and found that the life-saving charm "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow" in his backfield had been tied up by the shackles of flames and fell into a paralyzed state.
"Gaia the Magical Knight of Dragons, attack directly!"
The first to rush out was Gaia Unit No.2 summoned this turn. With an attack power of 5,200, the hellfire wrapped around the spiral spear, roaring out with the golden dragon!
Yusei waved his hand: "Then the effect of ‘Shooting Star Dragon' is applied!
I negate the attack of ‘Gaia the Magical Knight of Dragons'!"
The Shooting Star Dragon, which had already left the field, reappeared in the form of an afterimage, like a shield blocking its owner, firmly blocking Gaia's fatal shot.
Then the shadow disappeared, and Gaia was forced to bounce back to the original place.
"Because I don't have a monster on the field, ‘Gaia the Magical Knight of Dragons' can't attack for the second time," Yusei said.
"I know." Yuei Vu didn't care, "Then I will use another ‘Gaia the Magical Knight of Dragons' to attack directly!"
[Gaia the Magical Knight of Dragons, ATK 0]
Yusei: "!"
Attack with Gaia whose attack power is 0?
Will there really be someone who is greedy for this extremely insulting slap? No way, no way?
However, the facts proved that Yuei Vu was certainly not that bored. Just when Gaia flew out on the dragon and stabbed with the spear in his hand, a card was ejected from Yuei Vu's graveyard.
"In the graveyard, the effect of ‘Gaia the Fierce Knight Origin' is activated." He said, "During the Battle Phase, I can banish this card from my GY, then target 1 monster on the field whose current ATK is different from its original ATK; its ATK becomes its original ATK."
Yusei's pupils narrowed slightly.
The attack power is different from the original attack power…
That's right!
Gaia the Magical Knight of Dragons' effect is "reduce 2600 ATK and destroy a card", after the card is destroyed, the attack power will become 0, of course, different from the original attack power.
Gaia Origin is a card that exists to cooperate with this effect!
"I see," Yusei murmured, "That's why you specifically summoned Gaia the Fierce Knight Origin first, and then used him as a sacrifice to unfold the combo. The purpose is to send that card to the graveyard.
As expected of Mr. Yuei Vu, your calculations are one step ahead of mine."
Gaia the Fierce Knight Origin in the graveyard was banished, and the surging power quickly poured into the body of the charging knight!
[Gaia the Magical Knight of Dragons, ATK 0 → ATK 2600]
The ultimate charge, the red gun energy pierced through Yusei and his D-Wheel! The strong vibration touch made him groan, and the D-Wheel tilted and bumped violently on the track. For a moment, it looked like it was about to fall.
[Yusei, LP 4000 → LP 1400]
"The Battle Phase is over." Yuei Vu's D-Wheel caught up, and he was not giving up, "Then activate the Quick-Play Spell-
–‘Burial from a Different Dimension'!"
Yusei: "!"
"Up to 3 banished monsters will be returned to the graveyard." Yuei Vu smiled, "Which card should be returned? I don't need to say more, right?
I return your ‘Shooting Star Dragon' from the Banishment Zone to the graveyard!"
The Shooting Star Dragon cried out in the void, but was soon captured by an irresistible force and forcibly dragged to the depths of the underworld.
"When the Shooting Star Dragon is banished by its own effect, it will be Special Summoned from the Banishment Zone during the End Phase." Yuei Vu said, "But if it is no longer in the Banishment Zone at that time, this effect cannot be resolved."
As he said this, he drew three more cards.
"Set three cards, I end my turn."
