Yu-Gi-Oh!: Phobic Peptide Mad Dragon Executioner Dragon

"No, no, no, absolutely not!"

Naich shook his head like a rattle-drum.

Although Buddy had mentioned how terrible Xing Liang was, out of a sense of duty as a doctor, she still mustered up the courage to refuse Xing Liang's offer.

"As a doctor, how could I possibly agree to such a thing!"

Hmm, what if you make a request and the other party doesn't agree?

Let's settle this with a duel.

"Your body... well then we won't need the Duel Disk, right?"

Naich examined Xing Liang's body during his treatment, and it's best for him to avoid any stimulation now.

Because of his physical condition, Xing Liang proposed an idea that required the help of Nai Che, a doctor, to implement, which led to the previous argument.

Xing Liang readily agreed.

Rock, paper, scissors; Xing Liang played scissors, Nai Che played paper.

He chose to attack first, and the two placed their decks directly on opposite ends of her desk, beginning their duel face to face.

Since we're not going to use the Duel Disk anymore, let's use his favorite phagetin for this duel.

With that in mind, he drew five cards from the top of the deck.

Ah this.

Xing Liang's lips twitched. Was this retribution for the Red Pit Guy? He started with five trap cards, but not a single one of them was a normal trap.

"Set five cards face down to end the turn."

It's okay. Even though I can't move, you can't move either.

"My turn, draw a card."

After glancing warily at Xing Liang's five blocks in the backcourt, Naicher thought for a moment and decided to deal with the block first.

"I usually summon [Nature Mole Cricket]."

Xing Liang instinctively wanted to open the card to summon her, but then he remembered that he had removed the "Divine Declaration" from the structure to avoid unnecessary trouble, so his hand stopped in mid-air.

Under Naich's suspicious gaze, he pretended to lift one side of the card to check the effect, then closed the card and signaled her to continue.

"The effect of the Spell Card [Scales of the Wood Scale Dragon] can only be activated if I control a face-up monster with 'Nature' in its name. This turn, your opponent cannot activate Trap Cards."

She was terrified, thinking Xing Liang was about to open the card, but thankfully it was just to check the effect.

To be honest, five face cards are really scary. Not knowing what Xing Liang had covered, Nai Che decided to seal his trap first.

However, she couldn't block one thing: Xing Liang flipped over a face-down card that was in the same column as her magic card.

"Counter Trap Card [Iron Hammer of the Knights] effect: When an effect on the field is activated, pay half of your Life Points to activate it, negate that activation and destroy it."

Xingliang LP8000→4000

Of course, the subsequent effect of the Thunder Hammer will destroy all cards in the same column as that card, but since only these two happen to be in the same column, it doesn't need any explanation.

"Hiss, after that I activated the Quick-Play Spell Card 'Nature's Spring Breeze' from my hand..."

"Ah, don't even think about it. Pay half of your life points to activate the second [Ironclad Thunder Hammer]."

Xingliang LP4000→2000

This time, there were other cards that were covered and cards that were blocked in the same column, but Xing Liang didn't care and let them be destroyed by the Thunder Hammer effect.

"If there are cards in the Monster Zone or Spell & Trap Zone in the same column as the destroyed card, all those cards are destroyed. Therefore, all face-down cards in the same column as Nature's Breeze on my field will be destroyed."

Flipping the card to the graveyard reveals a counter-trap card that has been destroyed: [Dreadnought Dragon - No Damage].

"Then, the effect of the Natural Mole Cricket, during the Main Phase of both hands, can be activated by releasing itself to Special Summon from the Deck..."

"Dame, counter the effect of the Trap Card [Mastery of Insight]: when the effect, Spell Card, or Trap Card of a monster with the same name as a card in the opponent's Graveyard is activated by the opponent, you can negate that activation and destroy it."

Seeing that Naich didn't understand the effect, Xing Liang kindly explained, "Your Natural Mole Cricket was activated by Liberation, so it was in the graveyard when the effect was resolved. Therefore, it met the activation conditions of the Ultimate Insight, and the Mole Cricket effect was nullified and destroyed."

Nachter gritted his teeth and played another monster card.

"Although you negated it, I did activate the Mole Cricket effect. Therefore, during the turn that a monster with 'Nature' in its name on my field activates its effect, this card can be Special Summoned from my hand!"

Xing Liang applauded.

"So strong, too strong, it can even Special Summon all turn... that Counter Trap Card, the effect of [Ascension Horn]."

No mercy.

"This can be activated when the opponent Special Summons a monster during their Main Phase. The Special Summon is negated, those monsters are destroyed, and then the opponent draws 1 card from their Deck. The opponent's Main Phase ends."

Forced end of main phase one, entering the combat phase.

Although Xing Liang was on an empty court and his base score was only 2000, Naiche was still doomed.

"I declare that I am entering Main Phase Two. I set one card face down. End of Declaration Turn."

Necher's front row: None, back row: 1 set, number of cards in hand: 2

She's a bit flustered. Who's a good guy who can activate four counter-trap cards in one turn? The one that got blown up looks like a counter-trap card too?

He set up 5 counter-trap cards (the author had done this with a friend while playing cards, the only difference being that one of the Thunder Hammer cards was replaced with a Solemn Judgment, and his friend scolded him for being inhuman, but the problem was that he was the one who cut the card)!

Xing Liang expressed his helplessness, saying that he was stuck with his hand.

Bad news: It's stuck, I can't unfold it.

Good news: It's all counter-attacks, and the other side can't get anywhere.

"Well, it's my turn, draw a card."

Take a look, oh, finally here.

"Upon entering the main phase, I normally summon [Dreadnought Dragon - Scythe Dragon]. Its summoning effect activates, so is it okay to set a Dreadnought Dragon Trap Card from my deck?"

Xing Liang politely inquired whether there were any chain stores involved.

Nai-che, who had been retaliated against and was completely numb, waved his hand weakly.

"No chain, go ahead and move."

She set a Continuous Trap Card, "Nature's Divine Tree," which cannot be used now that there are no Nature Monsters on the field.

It's time to close.

"Alright, the effect of the Scythe Dragon: Set [Dreadnought Rage] from the deck. If my Life Points are below 2000, the Scythe Dragon's ATK increases by 500."

Therizinosaurus ATK 1500 → 2000

(In the magical K-voice language, "以下" means "less than or equal to", and similarly, "以上" means "greater than or equal to".)

"Entering the battle phase, the Therizinosaurus will give you a claw attack."

Naiche LP8000→6000

"I am proceeding directly to the end phase and declare the end of this round."

Naichel breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally, it's not a counterattack... My turn, draw a card, enter the Main Phase, I Normal Summon [Nature Camellia], its summon effect sends [Nature's Divine Star Tree] from the Deck to the Graveyard."

"Chain open the face-down card, pay half of your Life Points to activate the Frenzy effect, send a Diredragon from the Graveyard and a Winged Dragon from the Extra Deck to Fusion Summon [Dreadnought Queen - Spike Dragon]".

Xingliang LP2000→1000

"When Nature's Divine Tree is sent to the Graveyard, this effect is activated. I add a second 'Nature's Spring Breeze' from my Deck to my hand. At the same time, Graveyard Mole Cricket is activated if you Special Summon a monster from the Extra Deck. Special Summon it from the Graveyard."

"The chain pays half of the basic points to activate the Queen's effect, banishes the Frenzy from the graveyard to copy its effect, sends a Scythe Dragon from the graveyard to the graveyard, sends a Winged Dragon from the Extra Deck to the graveyard, and Fusion Summons [Dreadnought Tyrannosaurus Rex].

Xingliang LP1000→500

"Your base score is only 500... does that mean I can win if I summon a monster with an attack power of over 2500?"

Xing Liang shrugged.

"You can try."

"I feel like your monster should still have an effect. When the mole cricket's effect is activated, you can Tribute it to Special Summon 'Nature Sunflower' from your Deck. When Camellia is in the Monster Zone, you can Tribute it once, and when a Nature monster is activated, you can also send two cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard instead."

"Activate the Faceless Tree, release the Insect-Type EARTH Mole Cricket, and Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Plant-Type EARTH [Nature Eggplant] from your Deck."

Seeing that Xing Liang showed no intention of Special Summoning a monster or activating its effect, Nai Che played a Spell Card.

"【Lion's Mane】Effect: Target an eggplant on my field and activate it. Until the end phase of the turn, its ATK becomes 3000, its effect is negated, and then I declare that I am entering the battle phase."

Eggplant ATK1000→3000

She pointed to the sickle-shaped dragon on Xingliang Field.

"If my eggplant attacks your Therizinosaurus, do I win?"

"You're overthinking it. When you declare an attack on the Therizinosaurus, I pay half of my Life Points to activate the Tyrannosaurus Rex effect. All monsters on your field will have their ATK equal to my Life Points until the end of the turn."

Xingliang LP500→250

"When your Tyrannosaurus Rex effect is activated, the Sunflower effect is activated..."

"You can't activate any of them. None of the monsters on your field with an attack value higher than my life points can activate their effects."

"why is it like this?!"

Eggplant, sunflower, camellia ATK→250

The attack cannot be reversed. Just as Eggplant was about to be counter-killed by Scythe Dragon, Necher activated the Quick-Play Spell Card.

"With the effect of a natural spring breeze, using camellia and eggplant as materials, I Synchro Summon a Level 6 [Nature Wood Scale Dragon]!"

Natural Wood Scale Dragon, ATK2500.

"Natural Wood Scale Dragon attacks Therizinosaurus... Although I want to say that, don't tell me that your Tyrannosaurus Rex's attack reduction effect doesn't come once per turn."

Many natural monsters don't have the restriction of being active once per turn, and she was afraid that Xing Liang's Tyrannosaurus Rex would be the same.

"This card name can only be used once per turn, but I have it in my graveyard."

Xing Liang dug out the undamaged item from the graveyard that had been destroyed and sent to the grave in the previous round.

"When your Life Points are below 2000, you can activate this effect by banishing this card from your Graveyard during battle damage calculation. The battle damage to yourself from that battle becomes 0."

"Furthermore, if the Therizinosaurus is destroyed, the Brachiosaurus in the graveyard will jump out and deal 500 damage to you, and then you can place a counterattack trap in the graveyard that can prevent battle damage."

Nacher's gaze moved back and forth between the cards.

"I can't activate the effects of high-attack monsters, and Synchro Summoning other Natural Monsters doesn't work either... Does that mean I'm going to lose?"

Xing Liang looked at her sympathetically; this was how it was the first time he had dealt with the phlegm-releasing peptide.

"Yeah, almost."

Although it was a foul, it wasn't a formal duel, so it didn't matter. Xing Liang flipped over his next draw from the top of the deck.

【Lightning strike】

After seeing the results, Naichel pouted.

"You've already placed an order, but you can't play even a little bit. Why did you retaliate so much in the first place?"

Upon hearing this, Xing Liang laid out his entire suit of psychedelics on the table to show her.

"You're asking me about my deck with 17 Counters?"

(I'll pretend to be dead for a moment to prove I'm still alive, then go back to playing dead.)
