Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1418 Kusanagi Sword

You Xuan: "Face one more card, and the turn is over."

Ghosh let out a soft breath.

He was quite surprised that the other party also used Xyz Summoning. He had thought that this dimension was still in a relatively primitive version, and that Xyz Summoning should be a high-tech thing that primitive people couldn't do.

Well, even if he overdoses, it won't change anything. Anyway, he's always focused on his duel, charging forward and crushing his opponents with his passion and power.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Ghosh drew his card, paused briefly, and glanced at the cards that You Xuan had placed face down in the back row.

Last turn, the opponent retrieved the Trap Card "Piercing Trap Hole" from their Graveyard, and one of those Trap Holes was also from that card. Any monster summoned during this turn that attacks will be destroyed, and the player will also suffer damage equal to half of its ATK.
Damn it, it makes me so angry just thinking about it. How could anyone design a deck specifically around searching and recycling such a shady deck as "Trap Hole"?
What kind of boring thought process could come up with such a terrible deck?

But it doesn't matter, he has a plan.

There are traps in the backcourt, just left there for him to fall into. Fine, since that's the case, I'll show you how to fall into them.

He Ghosh has always been fearless and never backed down, no matter what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead.

You like digging holes, huh? Watch me crush them with my invincible heroic power!

Gorsh quickly played another spell.

"Activate the Equip Spell 'Superpower Crown'!" Ghosh exclaimed. "Equip 'Heroic Champion - King of the Bow'!" (Original Card)
A faint golden light enveloped King Yinggong, like a golden cloak draped over him. The next moment, King Yinggong split in two, man and horse becoming two separate beings.

Yu Xuan guessed the effect from this magical effect: "I'm guessing, it's a magic card that allows Xyz Monsters to perform even more Xyz?"

“Exactly!” Ghosh said, “The ‘Crown of Overload’ can only be given to Overload Summoning equipment.”

Equipped Xyz Monsters become the same Rank as the user, and when performing an Xyz Summon, each monster can be used as two Xyz Materials!

As he spoke, he slapped down another card in his hand.

"Then I usually summon 'Heroic Challenger Swordsman and Shieldman'!"

The summoned warrior was clad in green armor, his entire body, including his head, encased in armor resembling that of a medieval knight. His name was Sword and Shield Soldier, but he wasn't a traditional swordsman wielding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other; instead, he possessed a unique weapon combining sword and shield. At the center was a massive shield, with a sword blade on each of its upper and lower sides.

[Heroic Challenger - Sword and Shield Soldier, Attack Power 0]

"Then I stacked 'Heroic Champion - Archer King', which was upgraded to level four and used as two monsters, with 'Heroic Challenger - Sword and Shield Soldier'!"

Use the materials from three monsters to construct an Xyz Summon! Appear—

—Heroic Champion, Kusanagi Sword King!!!

A crimson-gold beam of light burst forth from the immense vortex, and the air seemed to condense into eight crimson energy prisms. The aura-like light coalesced into the warrior's body, which was completely covered in over-forged bronze armor, the branding red glow of which flickered with the rhythm of his breathing.

As the samurai slowly straightened up, the bronze bells hanging at his waist rang out with a clear, melodious sound. He gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist, the legendary weapon known as "Ame-no-Murakumo." Suddenly, liquid-like flames erupted from the blade of the Kusanagi sword, the flames climbing along the spine of the blade into ever-changing totems. When the samurai pointed the sword tip to the sky, the flames suddenly transformed into countless crimson blades of light that scattered in all directions, then reformed in mid-air into a burning phantom of the sun.

[Heroic Champion - Kusanagi Sword King, Attack Power 2500]

"The Champion of Heroes won't stop for a mere trap or two; my interest goes far beyond that!" Ghosh shouted. "Champion of Heroes, Kusanagi Sword King, attack 'Tree-Dwelling Ant's Bewitching Demon'!" Kusanagi Sword King swung his sword fiercely, the blade erupting with a lava-like crimson light. Flames condensed around him into a burning full moon, the phantom of the Kusanagi Sword appearing in its center. The instant the sword energy was unsheathed, the space was distorted by the intense heat into ripples like water, and a sharp, tearing sound like silk being ripped echoed through the air.

The onlookers were astonished: "Knowing full well it was a trap set by the Queen, why did they still attack?"

“Interesting.” You Xuan smiled and said, “Then so be it.”

Activate the face-down card, the trap card 'Piercing Trap Hole'!

Kusanagi Sword King stepped forward, but the moment he took a step, a transparent pit appeared beneath his feet. The pit was filled with sharp spikes and blades; a single misstep would mean being pierced by a thousand swords.

"The Piercing Trap Hole destroys any attacking monsters summoned this turn," Yu Xuan said. "I don't need to say anything more, right?"

"Hmph, I know. But do you think the same trick will work on me again!?"

Ghosh shouted.

"The effect of Kusanagi Sword King has been activated!"

When a Trap Card is activated, by removing one Xyz Material from 'Heroic Champion Kusanagi Sword King', the activation and effect of the Trap Card are negated, and then this card gains 500 ATK!

As he spoke, one of the two materials surrounding him had already been absorbed into the blade wielded by the Kusanagi Sword King. The radiating burning sword energy splashed onto the traps in Yu Xuan's back field, and the piercing pits were immediately ignited by flames, turning into sparks in the blink of an eye.

[Heroic Champion - Kusanagi Sword King, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 3000]

The onlookers were astonished: "He countered the trap and even boosted his own power! This guy!"

“I see. Then this is indeed the most suitable monster to face my ‘Trap Demon’,” You Xuan nodded.

The Trap Cry deck relies on trap management and constantly disrupting the opponent's actions to fight; it lacks strong offensive capabilities. The ability to continuously negate traps and absorb them as its own power makes it a true counter to the Trap Cry deck.

But You Xuan didn't take it seriously and continued, "Then activate the face-down card, the trap card 'Insect Trap Hole'."

When a monster Special Summoned by your opponent this turn activates its effect, negate that monster's effect and destroy it!

Use a trap to counter an ineffective trap!

Just as one pitfall was resolved, another appeared. The piercing trap had barely disappeared when a new one opened up beneath the feet of the Kusanagi Sword King, like a gaping maw waiting for him to fall into it.

Double trap!

But Ghosh remained fearless: "Then let's activate the effect of 'Heroic Champion - Kusanagi Sword King' once again!"

When a Trap Card is activated, remove one Xyz Material and negate its activation and effect!

As the Kusanagi Sword King swung his sword, burning sword energy surged forth, incinerating the Insect Bewitching Cavern to ashes.

The onlookers were all astonished: "Such an ability, and it's not used once per round?!"
