Chapter 210: Summon Dragon Knight?

Chapter 210: Summon Dragon Knight?

Although the Fiend Ogre held a rapier that was extremely mismatched with its size, due to its immense strength, the rapier was wielded with the momentum of a greatsword. Even when Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight raised its lance to block, it was still easily Destroyed and sent to the Graveyard.

Hayato: 4000→3300 LP

However, the Fiend Ogre did not stop after Destroying Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight. The rapier in its other hand was swung towards Hayato. The consequence of this strike hitting was Hayato's LP being instantly reduced to just 300.

Meanwhile, Duke Devlin's face wore a smile, as if he had already seen the pained expression about to appear on Hayato's face. He didn't mention the other Effects of Fiend Ogre when rolling the Dice, besides increasing its ATK.

On the surface, the Rolled Dice were 6, 2, 2, and it seemed like he had made a mistake, but in reality, this was all part of his plan. If two or more Dice show the same Roll, Fiend Ogre can activate its hidden Effect. If the Rolls are 1 and 2, Fiend Ogre gains "Invincible" power and cannot be Destroyed by battle or Effects until the opponent's End Turn.

'This way, no matter what Set Card you have in your Back Row, you won't be able to stop my Invincible Fiend Ogre!'

Thinking this, the Fiend Ogre's attack hit. Duke Devlin watched with his own eyes as Hayato's LP plummeted, dropping all the way from 3300 to just 300.

Just as he was about to mock him, Duke Devlin's eyes widened again. Because he noticed that the Scoreboard on the Duel Platform seemed to be rewinding as if broken, and Hayato's LP actually rose all the way back up to 3300?!

"Impossible, what just happened!"

Hayato answered Duke Devlin: "It's an onion, I put an on... ah, ptooey, I activated this Card."

The Smoke and Dust covering Hayato's Duel Platform dissipated, allowing Duke Devlin to clearly see the last Set Card on Hayato's field—Damage Vaccine Ω MAX.

"This Card can only be activated when I take battle or Effect Damage. It grants me Immunity to Damage and restores LP equal to the Damage taken." Hayato sent the Card to the Graveyard after using it. "Yare yare, that was close, my LP almost became a flickering candle in the wind."

"Tch, consider yourself lucky." Duke Devlin drew two Hand cards disdainfully. "I Summon Emerald Knight in Defense Position, then Set one Card. My End Turn."

Duke Devlin: 700 LP, Hand 0

Fiend Ogre (Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce) ATK3000

Emerald Knight DEF1800

Set Card

"Another Space Fighter? Although it has the ability to prevent Machine-Type Monsters from being Destroyed by Trap Card Effects, in this situation, it can only protect itself. It's a bit too late." Hayato said, drawing a Card. "My Turn, Draw!"

"I activate **Pot of Greed**! I Draw two Cards."

"I Summon a monster in face-down Defense Position, then activate the Spell Card **Nightmare's Mirage**. My End Turn."

Hayato: 3300 LP, Hand 0

Face-down Defense Monster

Nightmare's Mirage

At the same time, because Hayato's End Turn, the Effect of Fiend Ogre that increased its ATK, which was activated last Turn, also disappeared.

Fiend Ogre ATK3000→2000

"Hmph, is this all there is to the so-called King of Games? If so, I can finish you off this Turn!" Saying this, Duke Devlin was about to draw. "My Turn, Draw!"

"During your Standby Phase, the Effect of **Nightmare's Mirage** activates!" Hayato said, drawing four Cards from his Deck. "I Draw cards from my Deck until I have 4 cards in my Hand."

"Tch, but, during your Standby Phase, you also have to discard the number of Cards you drew." Clearly, Duke Devlin recognized this Card. "But you won't be able to last until then!"

"I activate Fiend Ogre's Effect again!"

The Dice were rolled by Duke Devlin, and this time, the Rolls were 2, 2, 4.

Fiend Ogre ATK2000→2800

"I change Emerald Knight to Attack Position, then enter the Battle Phase!" Duke Devlin said excitedly. "Now let's see how you escape this round of attacks! Fiend Ogre, attack that Set Card!"

Letting out a wild roar, the tall Fiend Ogre, holding two rapiers that were like toothpicks to him, charged onto Hayato's field. With a forceful downward smash, it easily Destroyed the monster Hayato had Set and sent it to the Graveyard.

"That's it! Fiend Ogre, press the attack!" Duke Devlin ordered, but then he noticed that the Fiend Ogre, which had just Destroyed Hayato's Set Card, actually retreated back to his own field with a look of guilt, regardless of how much he urged it.

"What a shame, Duke Devlin. Your plan to finish me off has gone bankrupt again." Hayato said, revealing the Set Card that Duke Devlin had just Destroyed. "**Malice Doll of Demise**. Although it's a weak monster with 0 ATK, it's precisely because it's weak that it appears so pitiful."

"When this Card is destroyed by battle, that Battle Phase ends."

"You just survived one more Turn using that weak monster, don't get cocky!" Duke Devlin raged impotently, but in the end, he could only Set the Card in his Hand and end this Turn. "Set one Card, my End Turn."

Duke Devlin: 700 LP, Hand 0

Fiend Ogre (Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce) ATK2800

Emerald Knight ATK1000

"Alright, my Turn." Hayato said, activating a Card from his Hand. "Powerful Cards often come with risks. **Nightmare's Mirage** requires me to discard four Cards during my Standby Phase. But, I'm someone who likes to get things for free."

"Spell Card **Emergency Provisions**! I'll turn **Nightmare's Mirage** into rations and eat it. Now, my Turn, Draw!"

Hayato: 3300→4300 LP

"I activate the Effect of **Graceful Charity** from my Hand! I Draw three Cards from my Deck, then discard two Cards." After drawing the Cards and making a quick decision, under Duke Devlin's gaze, Hayato sent **Gaia the Fierce Knight** and **Curse of Dragon** to the Graveyard.

"He actually sent **Gaia the Fierce Knight** and **Curse of Dragon** to the Graveyard? If he just had **Fusion**, he could Summon the powerful **Gaia the Dragon Champion**." Joey Wheeler said subconsciously, but then a Dice was thrown at his face again.

He closed his eyes, but found it didn't hurt at all. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the Dice had been caught by Yugi Mutou reaching out from the side.

"Duke Devlin, we're in a Duel right now, pay attention over here." Hayato said, activating a Card he had just drawn. "Spell Card **Dragon's Mirror**! I Banish the materials used for **Fusion** from my Graveyard to Summon a Dragon-Type Fusion Monster!"

"Hmph, so what if it's **Gaia the Dragon Champion**? It still can't defeat my Fiend Ogre, can it?"

Duke Devlin said disdainfully. But Hayato revealed a smile:

"Sore wa dou kana? When did you get the illusion that I was going to Summon a Dragon Knight?"
