Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1349 Even a miraculous draw will give you a counterattack!
Dark Armed Dragon can be Special Summoned when you have exactly three DARK monsters in your Graveyard.

At this point, Ken Yamada's graveyard contains two Variable Beast Gunner Dragons and one Giant Eye, totaling exactly three DARK cards.

The Giant Eye itself is a DARK attribute card, and the Dark Armed Dragon is also a Level 7 card, so it does have a very good synergy with this deck.

"I will not fall! With the power of NO., I cannot be defeated, not even for Dr. Fica's sake!" Yamada Ken shouted. "Dark Armed Dragon, activate!"
This card can destroy any card on the field by banishing one DARK monster from your Graveyard!

If you are an expert in the K programming language, you will obviously be able to see how powerful this ability is.

This effect does not occur once per round.

In other words, with three DARK cards in the graveyard and three shots from the Dark Armed Dragon, it's more than enough to clear out the Counter Angels on the field.

Yamada's gaze was stern.

No matter what, we must wipe out these angels in this round. If we drag this out any longer, these angels will accumulate more and more resources, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, his idea was good, and his line of thinking was correct, but he was wrong about one thing.

It's too late for him now.

You Xuan snapped his fingers: "Counter-trap 'Divine Punishment'!"
If you control a Sky Sanctuary, when a monster's effect or a Spell/Trap Card is activated, negate that activation and destroy it!

The Heavenly Sanctuary's exclusive divine punishment is the original counterattack of the Angel series' ace. The entire Heavenly Sanctuary seemed to burst into flames the moment it was activated, the sacred sea of ​​clouds turned crimson, and scorching lightning shot out from the clouds, as if an enraged God had unleashed divine punishment, blasting the rebellious Armed Dragon to smithereens.

Yamada Ken's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets.

His reversal move, even the resurrected Dark Armored Dragon, was also...
After that, You Xuan unleashed another three-part barrage of polite remarks.

"Because another counter trap has been activated, and Artemis of Abundance has her effect, I draw a card from my deck."

"Motius's effect restores 1000 health points."

[Yu Xuan, LP3400→LP 4400]

"Minerva's effect: Increases attack power by 500 and recovers a Counter Trap from the graveyard."

I returned the counter-trap 'Magic Interference Array' from the graveyard to my hand.

[Sky Sage Minerva, Attack Power 2200 → Attack Power 2700]

Kento Yamada is about to lose it.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to win.

The Dark Armed Dragon was also destroyed, and the opponent continued to draw cards and heal, and then had an extra spell immunity card next turn, plus more and more counter-trap cards.
He could feel that he had one foot in the grave.

"Well, although Sky Saint Mortius could actually destroy one of your cards, you don't have any cards left to destroy, so this effect can't be activated."

You Xuan shook his head regretfully.

It looked like it was "I haven't even put in the effort and you're already down," as if it wasn't satisfying enough.

That's even more infuriating.

Yamada Kenjiro suppressed his anger.

There is still help.

He had one last card left, his last hope.

"I activate the Spell Card—"

—The allure of darkness!!!

Yamada practically screamed as he played his last card.

Lure of Darkness: Draw two cards from your deck. However, if you do not banish one DARK monster from your hand afterward, all cards in your hand must be sent to the Graveyard.

He doesn't have any Dark-attribute monsters left.

This is a risky gamble. Not only do I need to draw a card that can bring me back to life in this gamble, but I also need a DARK monster that can be used as a banishment cost.

But he had no choice and had to draw it.

Ken Yamada took a deep breath, a determined light flashing in his eyes.

Even in this most desperate moment, he did not give up hope.

He absolutely had to break through the opponent's formation this round, he had to draw the move that would turn the tide. He would not let Dr. Fica, who sent him here and trusted his abilities, down. He also knew he was absolutely certain he would draw it.

The NO. mark on Yamada Fitness shone brightly once again, and his whole body seemed to be burning.

"Ahhhh!"

NO. The power bestowed upon him was developed to its limit, and his entire being seemed to be on fire. He raised his arm high, and his right hand seemed to receive endless blessings, ready to create the world with the next strike.
However, despite the atmosphere building up to this point, he still didn't get the chance to draw the card he was destined to have.

because
“A counter-trap.” You Xuan said expressionlessly, his tone calm. “Drain Spells. It negates and destroys the activation of a spell card, or the opponent can discard a spell card from their hand to negate the Drain Spell.”

You Xuan paused for a moment, then smiled.

"Of course, that's assuming you still have magic cards to throw away."

Yamada Ken: "."

Should I discard the magic card in my hand?

I have got
What the hell is that?!

You countered both of your only two spells, so how the hell are you going to throw any more spell cards?!
"No, that's a pity."

You Xuan sighed with a look of regret, as if he really felt sorry for the other person.

"If you don't discard it, then the magic extraction effect will pass, and the Temptation of Darkness will become ineffective."

Ken Yamada stood frozen in place, unable to move an inch, and could only watch helplessly as his supposedly crucial reversal move, the Temptation of Darkness, shattered into pieces.

The atmosphere had been built up to this point.

NO.'s power has been mobilized to the maximum.

He was prepared for a guaranteed draw, even if it meant relying on printing, he would still have to print a winning card to turn the tide.

Who knew that the other side wouldn't even give him a chance to print a card!
Counterattack, counterattack, endless counterattack, even the most lucky draw gets a counterattack!

“Of course, ‘Mana Extraction’ itself is also a counter-trap,” You Xuan said calmly. “The moment the counter-trap is activated, my counter-angels also activate their effects.”

"First up is 'Artemis of Abundance,' I'll draw one card from my deck."

"Motius, let me recover 1000 health points, then destroy one of your cards on the field. Ugh, no cards to destroy again. Fine, fine, then I won't activate this effect. What a waste."

Yamada Ken: "."

At that moment, he didn't care about the duel or the rules anymore.

He wanted to go up and strangle this guy.

"Then comes Sky Sage Minerva, whose attack power will increase by another 500 points."

[Sky Sage Minerva, Attack Power 2700 → Attack Power 3200]

"In addition, I can also recover a counter trap from the graveyard. This time I recovered the counter trap 'Divine Punishment' into my hand."

Divine Punishment is a powerful counterattack that negates the effects of any spell, trap, or monster on the opponent's hand, making it the strongest counterattack exclusive to angels. Just the fact that this card returns to your hand basically means Yamada will be unable to do anything next turn either.

Well, that's assuming he has another round.

Forget about the next round, he already has no cards left to play.

What else can he do besides wait to die?

Yamada Ken, of course, realized what was happening in that instant.

He had been convinced this was his last chance, but now he realized he was wrong. In fact, he had no chance after this round.

From the moment those three angels on the opposing team stepped onto the field and the counter-attack formation was set up in the backcourt, he was already dead, only he didn't know it yet.

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

You Xuan waved lazily.

"Sky Sage Minerva, direct attack."

[Ken Yamada, LP2300 → LP0]
