Curse of Anubis
"My turn, draw!" Yuei Vu glanced at the drawn card, "Spell Card – Spell Books from the Pot: Each player draws 3 cards."
"Hmph, increase the chances of defeating my monsters?" Anubis sneered, "But that's useless. You are destined to be defeated by my monsters and become the nourishment of the secret pyramid here."
Yuei Vu ignored it: "Come on, Elemental HERO Sparkman!"
There was a flash of electric current, and the hero in blue tights and golden armor appeared on the field with a loud cry, and a wire-shaped electric current burst out from the armor.
[Elemental HERO Sparkman, ATK 1600]
Although it looked like a trash fish with no effect and mediocre attack power, but Sparkman, who has been fighting by his master's side for so long, seemed to have a different aura than before.
After all, he has also seen all kinds of great turmoils now, and this little scene couldn't scare him at all.
"Quick-Play Spell – Mask Change." Yuei Vu continued, "Send 'Elemental HERO Sparkman' to the GY, transform!
Cut through the darkness with the sharp blade and bring light——
——Masked HERO Koga! "
Under the magic effect, Sparkman bloomed a golden glow all over his body. The special effect of the golden light turned into armor, which quickly attached to his body and turned into platinum armor. The shining brilliance outlined the sharp blade, and the blue eyepieces shone with a jewel-like luster.
[Masked HERO Koga, ATK 2500]
"Well, he is indeed a good-looking warrior," Anubis said.
"The effect of Koga!" Yuei Vu said, "This card gains 500 ATK for each monster the opponent controls!
Now there are 'Andro Sphinx' and 'Sphinx Teleia' on your field, so Koga's attack power has increased by 1000! "
[Masked HERO Koga, ATK 2500 → ATK 3500]
Anubis murmured: "Has the attack power exceeded my verdict monster?"
"Battle!" Yuei Vu said, "Masked HERO Koga, attack Sphinx Teleia!"
"The power is strong enough…but!" Anubis shrank his pupils and raised his arms, "At this moment you have activated my trap card — Curse of Anubis!"
The set card was turned over, and it was a red trap. The artwork was a weird jackal squatting on a golden coffin, and the dark and gloomy mist leaked from the card, sweeping the entire field.
"Under the Curse of Anubis, all servants must be forcibly transformed into a defensive posture." Anubis clenched his huge fist, and sneered, "And within this round, all their original defensive power has changed into 0, and their posture cannot be changed!"
Koga, who hadn't taken a few steps just after receiving the attack command, stumbled and was forced to change to Defense Position under the power of the black jackal's curse.
Vapor struggled to resist for a while and also crouched down under the force of the black mist to switch to Defense Position.
Even Anubis's own two monsters obediently lay down under the coercion released by their master's trap, with a cute appearance of being slaughtered, completely breaking the fighting state.
[Masked HERO Koga, DEF 1800 → DEF 0]
[Masked HERO Vapor, DEF 2000 → DEF 0]
"It is indeed a strong enough fighter, but it is still far from reaching me." Anubis snorted.
Yuei Vu still ignored him: "Then Set three cards, I end my turn."
At this moment, the effect of the Curse of Anubis ended, and the defensive power of the monsters returned to its original state.
"It's my turn again… let's go directly! First, I switch the two servants back to the attack state. Then Sphinx Teleia, attack the blue warrior!" Anubis said, "Teleia's special ability! If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, I can destroy that monster directly!" (animation effect)
"The effect of Masked HERO Vapor." Yuei Vu said, "This card cannot be destroyed by card effects."
"Hmph, it doesn't matter, then the attack will continue."
Teleia's attack power was higher than Vapor's defense power. If the effect destruction was invalid, the battle would continue, and Vapor still could not escape his demise here.
Anubis said, paused, and at the same time swept his thick arms sideways.
"At this moment, use the trap – Meteorain! Only for this round, the attacking servants in can also deal damage when attack the defensive servants!"
Teleia's target was Vapor. The monster with a human face pounced and knocked Vapor to the ground again, but this time there was no trap card to protect him. The monster's sharp claws easily tore through the Masked HERO's armor, and a large number of sparks shot from the hero's chest. Splashing out, the latter turned into a phantom and dissipated.
[Yuei Vu, LP 1600 → LP 1100]
"Hmph, ready to accept your fate?" Anubis sneered, "For my first battle after three thousand years, you are not a bad opponent.
Go! Andro Sphinx, finish the opponent! "
With a roar, the lion-masked man swooped towards Koga who was half crouching on the ground.
[Andro Sphinx, ATK 3000]
[Masked HERO Koga, DEF 1800]
"This is the end!"
"Open the set card: Trap Card – Half Unbreak!" Yuei Vu said, "Choose a monster, this turn, that monster cannot be destroyed by battle, also any battle damage I take from attacks involving that monster is halved.
What I want to choose is, Masked HERO Koga! "
Andrew the lion-masked man rushed forward aggressively, and slammed down with his paw like a maniac. But the transparent protective layer withstood his killing blow, and although the light effect erupted and made Koga stagger back two steps, it didn't knock him down.
[Yuei Vu, LP 1100 → LP 500]
"Oh? You still didn't fall down." Anubis said, "You start to surprise me."
He said so, but the king of destruction from 3,000 years ago, the sworn enemy of the Pharaoh, instinctively began to notice that something was wrong.
Although he had the upper hand and the situation of the duel seemed to be in his hands all the time, he felt something was wrong for no reason.
Maybe it was because of the pressure on the scene and the suppression of divine power from the Pyramid of Light, the warrior in front of him seemed a little…too calm?
Is he planning something?
Or… is it simply that I think too much?
Anubis glanced at the cards in his hand, thought for a moment, and seemed to decide that he would play a little safer.
He raised his arm and swiped lightly, and this time there were three more set cards in front of him.
"My round is over," he said.
"Then it's my turn, draw!" After drawing cards, Yuei Vu drew out a card in his hand, "I set a card on the field, and then activate the Spell Card Card of Sanctity!
Both players draw cards from the deck until they have 6 cards in their hands! "
Anubis opened his palm, and the cards floating in front of him filled up to six with a flash of golden light. At the same time, he chuckled: "Hmph, you seem to like these spells that can increase the chips. But in the face of real power, these are useless."
Yuei Vu raised his hand: "Masked HERO Koga, switch back to the attacking state again!"
[Masked HERO Koga, DEF 1800 → ATK 3500]
Since there were two monsters on the opponent's field, the attack power of Masked HERO Koga was 3500 at this time. And not only that, Koga could reduce the attack power of the opponent's monsters on the field until the end of the turn by removing the hero monsters in the graveyard from the game.
The attack power of Sphinx Teleia was 2500. As long as Koga's effect was used to banish Absolute Zero, Teleia's attack power would be reduced to 0, and the battle could cause a huge amount of damage of 3500 in one breath.
Anubis' remaining LP was exactly 3500.
Checkmate!
"Battle!" Yuei Vu raised his hand and said, "Masked HERO Koga, attack Sphinx Teleia again!"
Masked HERO's whole body bloomed with shining golden lights! He slid half a step back as if he was gaining momentum, the fang-like blade on his wrist was shining brightly, and a halo of gorgeous special effects swirled around it as if he was about to come out at any time.
"Naive." Anubis raised his palm, "At this moment, you triggered the trap again! Activate Quaking Mirror Force!
The moment the opponent launches an attack, all the attacking servants of the opponent will enter the stealth state! And minions affected by this power… cannot change form! "
