Chapter 1,209: Three Steps Ahead!
"Watch out Yusei! What is the King's Duel!" Jack was very arrogant.
"You dare to say that." Yu Yu said leisurely.
Yusei said: "But Jack does have that ability. Jack, who has won all the way to now and kept his throne, is unquestionably strong."
"Relatively speaking." Yu Yu smiled.
In fact, in his opinion, the fledgling protagonists of 5DS are all cute newbies, and their strengths are equally strong.
After all, even the Red Demon Dragon, a useless white monster that card masters don't want even if it is given away for free, is actually the ace of the deck. This also shows that Jack's early deck is weak.
I remember that the Red Demon Dragon card was even given with the comic magazine. The magazine cost 250 yen. In other words, Jack's Tamashi was worth this price.
Therefore, Jack's Tamashi, which cost 250 yen and included shipping, once became a joke that card masters talked about with relish.
Everyone likes to complain that the Blue-Eyes White Dragon is a noble mortal bone. If there is no matching card, it is useless except for the 3,000 attack points.
However, you must admit that in many cases, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, who is a mortal, is more useful than Jack's Red Demon Dragon.
Because the Blue-Eyes is just a blank card with 3,000 attack points, while the Red Demon Dragon is not only a blank card, it actually has side effects. During its turn on the field, all monsters on the field that have not declared an attack must self-destruct.
This side effect is simply ridiculous
Jack turned over the backfield: "Open the face-up card! Trap card "Gift of Resurrection"! Special summon a tuner monster in your graveyard! But the effect of the monster special summoned by this effect will be invalidated."
He drew the card that was withdrawn from the graveyard area and slapped it on the duel disk.
"Return to the field, Dark Resonator!"
A black vortex opened on the side of the galloping Wheel of Fortune, and the red-eyed demon holding a tuning fork flew out to the field with a sly grin.
[Dark Resonator, ATK 1300]
"Resurrection's Gift, the second effect." Jack continued, "When this effect is successfully Special Summoned, Special Summon two 'Gift Magic Tokens' on the opponent's field!"
[Gift Magic Tokens, DEF 1500] x2
Looking at the two tokens that popped up on his field, Yusei frowned slightly: "This tactic is..."
As old friends who have been together for many years and know each other well, Yusei naturally knows Jack's tactics very well.
Red Demon Dragon has the ability to "destroy all defense position monsters on the opponent's field when attacking", so Jack is not afraid that sending two tokens to the opponent will lay a foreshadowing, and the opponent will take them for Advanced Summon or use them as Synchro Materials in the next round.
Now Jack has a level 3 "Dark Resonator" and a level 5 "Evil Dragon" on the field, with a total level of eight. Then there is no doubt that he will Synchro Summon his trump card, Red Demon Dragon!
"Yusei, trick it." Yu Yu said.
"I know." Yusei pressed the button on the duel disk and turned over the cards beside him. "Trap card 'Demon's Hole'! Destroy the monster special summoned by the effect of the card on the opponent's field!" (Original card)
"Special summon by the effect of the card?" Jack said in a deep voice, "Dark Resonator is through the effect of 'Gift of Resurrection'"
"That's right," Yusei said, "So 'Dark Resonator' is destroyed!"
The poor Resonator didn't even stand firmly before a black hole opened up under his feet. A black and hideous claw grabbed it and dragged it into the deep black hole with a scream.
Jack frowned when his tactics were interrupted: "You actually played these tricks on me. Then, I will use the 'Evil Dragon' on the field as a sacrifice, and Advanced Summon! Show up
Level 6, Strong Wind Dragon!!!"
The evil dragon disappeared into the colorful halo of the Advanced Summon, and a brand new dragon emerged from the halo. It was a blue dragon, and its wide wings flapped a transparent storm.
[Strong Wind Dragon, 2400 attack points]
"Strong Wind Dragon's effect!" Jack shouted, "When Strong Wind Dragon releases a Dragon-type monster for a Higher Summon, this card's attack points increase by half of the monster's original attack points!"
"The original attack points of the evil dragon are 2000, and it was reduced to 1000 points after the summon due to its own effect." Yusei said, "But if it is released as a sacrifice to Strong Wind Dragon, its attack points will still be calculated based on the original 2000 points."
"That's right! Therefore, Strong Wind Dragon's attack points increase by 1000!"
[Strong Wind Dragon, 2400 attack points → 3400 attack points]
"Wow! Even if the summoning of Red Demon Dragon was interrupted, it continued to summon monsters with attack points even higher than Red Demon Dragon!" Long Ya began to worship his idol, "Jack is so strong!"
"Jack Atlas is indeed a strong man who deserves the title of King."
Izayoi Aki acknowledged Jack's strength in his heart, and looked at Yusei with some concern.
"Is Yusei okay?"
The girl didn't realize that she had turned into Crab Brother without realizing it
"Fight!" Jack shouted, "Wind Dragon, use your wind to tear Yusei's monster to pieces!
Hurricane!"
The Wind Dragon roared, flapped its wings and was about to launch an attack. But Yusei swept his arm and opened the backfield to block its attack.
"Open the face card! Continuous trap 'Demon Chain'!" Yusei said.
"What!?" Jack's pupils shrank.
Damn, isn't that my card? Yusei, how come you have this thing too?
Yes, that's right. The Magic Chain, a general-purpose card, was Jack's card when it first appeared in the animation. Yusei should not have it in the original work.
So the Magic Chain in Yusei's hand here was naturally given to him by Yu Yu.
In the case of a Galloping Duel where all general-purpose magic is scrapped, general-purpose traps like Magic Chain will appear particularly powerful.
"Monsters bound by the 'Magic Chain' cannot declare an attack, and the effect is also invalidated." Yusei said, "So the effect of 'Strong Wind Dragon' is invalid and cannot launch an attack!"
Seeing his attack blocked again, Jack gritted his teeth in anger: "Damn Yusei, did you set so many traps?"
Long Ya couldn't help but say: "Yusei is also very strong. Jack's attacks were actually resolved one after another like this"
"But it's not over yet! Traps of this level have long been within my calculations!"
Jack stepped on the accelerator.
"I've told you before, Yusei? A true king's duel should be three steps ahead of the opponent! Even in this situation, I'm well prepared! This is what a true king should be like!"
As he said this, he waved his hand and another face-up card flipped over.
"Trap Card 'Synchronous Call'!"
Yusei narrowed his eyes: "That card is"
"Nullify the effect of a monster in your graveyard and Special Summon it on the field!" Jack shouted, "Then use the resurrected monster and other monsters on your field as materials to Synchro Summon a Dragon or Demon Dark Attribute Monster!"
"Dragon Dark Attribute Synchro Monster" Long Ke whispered to himself.
"Red Demon Dragon!" Long Ya was very excited, "Jack's trump card is coming!"
"I resurrected the monster discarded by the 'Angel Staff' from the graveyard! Show up, level 2, tune the monster 'Strong Resonator'!"
[Strong Resonator, defense 500]
"Level 2 'Strong Resonator', plus level 6 'Strong Wind Dragon' to adjust the star!"
[2+6=8]
"The shock of the king is now presented here, look at the power of the roar of heaven and earth!"
Jack shouted with full power.
"Synchronous Summon! My Soul
Red Demon Dragon!!!"
