Chapter 48: You're Doing Quite Well
Trusting his intuition, President Kaiba flipped his second face-down card.
Quick-Play Spell Card, Command Silencer!!
Command Silencer can erase a duelist's attack declaration and also lets the user draw a card from their deck.
Such a good card, of course, only exists in the anime~
The timing of this duel was off, otherwise, Yu Miao's eyes would certainly have revealed a greedy glint.
As long as you're bold enough...
"You will lose the attack command; Silent Magician's attack will cease." Kaiba's voice echoed around.
The mercenaries watching from behind immediately threw down their pistols and wildly applauded their boss!!
These mercenaries clearly had a broader perspective now.
However.
The next moment, Kaiba immediately sensed something was wrong.
Because the very useful Quick-Play Spell Card, Command Silencer, shattered on its own...
"What happened?" Kaiba was bewildered.
"Heh, Silent Magician is one of the top-tier magicians. Your activated Spell Card has no effect on her."
Silent Magician can negate the activation of a Spell Card once per turn.
"So that's how it is, such a troublesome effect." The more it was like this, the more excited Kaiba became; this duel wouldn't be boring after all.
Command Silencer's activation was negated.
Therefore, Silent Magician's attack proceeded.
"If that's the case, then counterattack, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Kaiba forcefully countered.
Blue-Eyes White Dragon opened its maw wide, spewing forth a violent Burst Stream of Destruction.
Boom!
Silent Magician was destroyed by battle.
[Yu Miao: 4000 LP → 3000 LP]
"I'll remember your sacrifice, Silent Magician. I'll definitely make that bread for you." Yu Miao said something Kaiba couldn't comprehend.
Bread?
Does this guy know what he's saying?
Hoo~
Silver stardust drifted in the air.
Kaiba stared ahead, puzzled. "What's happening?"
At this moment.
On Yu Miao's field stood a woman who looked extremely similar to Silent Magician.
[Silent Magician LV8, 3500 ATK, Spellcaster]
"When Silent Magician is destroyed, the silent power hidden within the deck will be unleashed." Yu Miao pointed at Kaiba and shouted angrily, "Don't forget one thing, the Battle Phase is still ongoing!"
Kaiba was jolted awake!
Right, the Battle Phase was still continuing...
The opponent's proactive attack on Blue-Eyes White Dragon was actually to summon this Silent Magician LV8!
"Silent Burst!" Yu Miao casually made up a cool-sounding name.
Silent Magician LV8 leaped up, aiming at the arrogant Blue-Eyes White Dragon and unleashing a massive surge of magical power!
Boom...
The legendary white dragon, said to possess immeasurable destructive power, fell.
[Seto Kaiba: 4000 LP → 3500 LP]
"Heh heh, hahahaha, you're doing quite well." Seto Kaiba wasn't angry about his white dragon being defeated; he felt genuinely excited from the bottom of his heart.
Then, Kaiba stared at Yu Miao with a complicated gaze and said:
"Take off that tattered hood and mask. Who are you, really?"
"With this kind of skill, why stoop to being a lowly Ghouls hunter?"
To Yu Miao's ears, these words automatically filtered into a different meaning.
Probably something like...
"Hurry up and take off that mask. Let me see your face."
"Come work at my KC Corporation. Playing cards with me every day is better than being a lousy card hunter, right?"
Yu Miao remained unmoved. He just didn't want to get entangled with Seto Kaiba...
Especially since he looked so much like the Pharaoh.
What if, after the Pharaoh left, Kaiba bothered him every day?
"Hmph, it seems you won't listen to reason." It's fine. Seto Kaiba believed he would still win this duel, and then he would personally remove that mask from the opponent's face.
"My turn, draw!" Kaiba forcefully ended Yu Miao's turn.
Yu Miao looked speechless. Although he indeed had nothing to do, using this skill of yours... not bad, huh.
"Hmph, 3500 ATK is indeed high, but do you think the power of Blue-Eyes stops here?" Kaiba raised a Spell Card, Pot of Greed!
[Pot of Greed: Draw 2 cards from your deck.]
The effect of this Spell Card is simple yet powerful!
Seto Kaiba replenished his hand, then showed Yu Miao a forbidden card combo.
Graceful Charity!
[Graceful Charity: Draw 3 cards, then discard 2 cards from your hand to the Graveyard.]
Seto Kaiba swiftly drew three cards, then, with a smirk, sent two cards to the Graveyard.
Yu Miao had good eyesight; he carefully looked at every card sent to the Graveyard.
He watched Kaiba send two Blue-Eyes White Dragons to the Graveyard...
With that, all 3 Blue-Eyes were now in the Graveyard.
Yu Miao seemed to know what Kaiba was planning.
"Keh ha ha ha ha..." Amidst his maniacal laughter, Kaiba raised high a Spell Card in his hand.
Dragon's Mirror!!
"I will banish three Blue-Eyes White Dragons from my Graveyard to Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster." A tremendous roar echoed behind Kaiba.
An immense, three-headed blue dragon phantom materialized!
"ROOOAR!" The three-headed blue dragon howled at the sky, shaking the entire space.
[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, 4500 ATK, Dragon]
"Keh heh hahaha, this is the most powerful Blue-Eyes monster." Kaiba gazed at the three-headed white dragon bride with a fanatical gleam in his eyes.
Facing Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon in person, Yu Miao couldn't help but feel a jolt of shock internally.
This terrifying roar and oppressive force probably meant it wasn't just a normal monster.
"Spell Card, Quick Attack." Seto Kaiba used the Duel City rules to impose restrictions on Fusion Monsters, but he also included these cards to enhance the offensive capabilities of Fusion Monsters.
"Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, attack Silent Magician LV8."
"Triple Ultimate Burst Stream of Destruction!!"
Facing the triple onslaught of destruction, Silent Magician LV8 had her own pride; she would not allow herself to retreat.
Even against an ATK surpassing that of a God Card, she would face the attack head-on.
Boom~
Immense magical power and draconic force collided.
Due to the large difference in ATK, Silent Magician LV8 ultimately met her end.
"Urgh aaaaaah!" Yu Miao had to take this battle damage.
[Yousei: 3000 LP → 2000 LP]
"Keh hahaha, I set 1 card. End turn." Seto Kaiba snorted coldly, his eyes full of contempt.
Because no monster could defeat his Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!
"My turn, draw." Yu Miao looked at the Raigeki he drew and didn't hesitate to activate it.
Boom~
A thunderbolt struck down.
Even Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon would shatter under this Raigeki.
However, Kaiba seemed prepared. He flipped one of his face-down cards:
"Open, Counter Trap Card, Dark Bribe!"
[Dark Bribe: When your opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card: Negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it. Your opponent draws 1 card.]
The fearsome Raigeki vanished. A gold coin appeared in Yu Miao's hand; this coin let him draw a card. He accepted the bribe!
Yu Miao drew a card from his deck. At this critical moment, he drew...
Perhaps because Kaiba's Duel Spirit level was suppressing him, it caused... a bad draw.
"I set 1 monster and 1 backrow. I end my turn." Yu Miao temporarily had no good way to deal with Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
Before this, Yu Miao had infused Card Dust to evolve the original version of Celtic Guardian into "Obnoxious Celtic Guardian".
As long as this 'cannon fodder swordsman' was on the field, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon couldn't attack for now!
