Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1433 The Light Arrives!

"Wait a moment!"

Fica suddenly interrupted.

“Not so fast, your battle phase isn’t over yet!” Fica said. “The instant your battle phase ends, activate the face card, the Continuous Trap ‘Restraint’!”
This card can revive monsters with 1000 or less ATK from the Graveyard!

Fica raised his arm.

"Come back once again, NO.92, the Pseudo-Mortal Dragon - Heart-to-Heart Dragon!!!"

Although it is a ninth-tier weapon, its attack power is 0 and it has no restrictions on special summons, so there are naturally many ways to revive it.

A grinding, grinding sound, like gears jamming, echoed from the earth. A vortex leading to the underworld opened, sending countless pieces of debris soaring into the air. As they rose, these fragments were reassembled by an unseen force. Each collision of metal sent forth eerie blue sparks, which, upon landing, immediately sprouted into clusters of translucent amethyst crystals. All the crystal clusters simultaneously exploded into streams of light, converging to form the silhouette of a dragon, its head raised in a roar. The purple dragon's body writhed in mid-air, its enormous form unleashing a deafening roar that shook the heavens and earth.

【NO.92 Pseudo-Skeleton Dragon - Heart of the Earth Dragon, Attack Power 0】

"Hmm, what a persistent thing, it's come back to life again." You Xuan said.

However, this was expected. ZEXAL is a dimension where everyone builds their decks around their ace monster, so it's reasonable to include many cards specifically designed to counter situations where the ace monster is defeated.

"Furthermore, the effect activates once again the moment Heart Dragon is revived!" Fica said. "When Heart Dragon is Special Summoned, it changes all monsters on your opponent's field to Defense Position!"
Furthermore, monsters whose defense is changed by this effect cannot actively change their battle position!

As soon as the words fell, the horns of the Heart Dragon emitted purple light once more. Even the Ghostly Warriors on the Xuan Field could not withstand it and crouched down, holding their swords in defense in front of them.

“Hehe, that way that troublesome martial artist won’t be able to cause trouble anymore,” Fica said.

For him, Synchro Monsters that can directly ban the opponent's monster effects during battle are a perfect counter to his Yubel-style monsters, which are all indestructible and reflect damage.

And there were indeed other reasons why Fica revived Heart Dragon before the end of the battle phase.

As for the reason, You Xuan already knew it.

"Then so be it." You Xuan smiled, waved his hand, and set up another card cover. "Cover up one card."

Next, I activate the Spell Card 'Armed Regeneration', which allows me to recycle one Equip Spell Card from my Graveyard. I recycle the Equip Spell 'Magic Wand' and equip it to 'Apple Magical Girl'.

"Next, I'll send the equipped 'Apple Magical Girl' and 'Armed Regeneration' to the graveyard, and then draw two more cards from my deck."

You Xuan drew two more cards.

"The round is over."

Upon catching a glimpse of You Xuan's card, Fika's lips curled into a sinister smile, as if his wicked scheme had succeeded.

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

Fica drew the card and immediately burst into laughter.

"At that very moment, Heart Dragon's final hidden effect activated!" Fica exclaimed. "After Number 92, False Corpse Dragon - Heart Dragon, is Special Summoned, all monsters summoned by the opponent and all face-down cards on the field are banished during the next Standby Phase!" (Animation effect)

This is a truly astonishing effect. As long as Heart Dragon remains on the field, it's practically equivalent to undoing any action your opponent took in the previous turn. Whether it's a Normal Summon, Special Summon, placed monster, or a face-down card in the back row, they will all be erased in the next turn.

Fica was very pleased with himself.

Do you like digging holes? Do you like setting traps?
Haha, perfect! My favorite thing is traps!

The physical card retains this effect, except that the anime doesn't require removing Xyz Material, while the physical card requires Xyz Material to activate. However, if anything, the physical card is somewhat stronger. This is because the physical card, Heart Dragon, can banish all monsters summoned and face-down cards on the opponent's field at the end of their turn, without having to wait until the next turn.

At first glance, the difference may seem small, but in fact, if this case is excluded during the preparation phase of the next round, the traps that the opponent set up in the previous round can be triggered in a chain reaction, which has a significant impact.

Just like it is now.

“I already knew that Heart Dragon would exclude the monsters I summon and the cards I set,” Yu Xuan said calmly.

Fika: "!"

known long time ago?

For some reason, he seemed to sense that this guy wasn't bluffing.

But if the opponent already knew that face-down cards would be banished, then why would they face-down the card in the back row?
"Wait a minute!"

Fica's pupils contracted, and he suddenly felt instinctively that something was wrong. But it was too late. Although the banishment effect of Heart Dragon in the anime did not have the restriction of needing to extract materials to activate, it was a mandatory effect, and he had no choice not to activate it.

Therefore, the effect of Heart Dragon activated uncontrollably, and a transparent purple wave swept across the entire field. The face-down card in Yu Xuan's back row was swept up in the energy storm and quickly turned into specks of light and dissipated into the vortex of another dimension.

But right after that, the phantom of the trap was quickly projected onto the field as if through a dimensional barrier.

This card is a trap card - Trap Card.

"The effect of 'Teasing the Snake' is that when this card leaves the field due to the effect of an opponent's card, whether it is sent to the graveyard or banished from the game, the effect will be triggered."

You Xuan shook his finger.

"I can Special Summon any monster from my Deck or Extra Deck to the field." Yu Xuan revealed a dangerous smile.

Fica's pupils contracted.

Did I stir up trouble?

How could this be something like this?!

Fika was practically tearing her hair out.

A trap is a trap; the act of clearing a trap itself triggers the trap.
Hi, welcome to our advanced version of Minesweeper. Our advanced version differs from the regular version; touching a mine will cause it to explode, marking a mine will cause it to explode, and sweeping a mine will also cause it to explode.
This is Fica's most authentic experience at this moment.

"Because your Heart Dragon just banished Snake, I can Special Summon any monster from my Deck due to Snake's effect."

I want to summon this one—"

A card popped out of Youxuan's deck, and as he drew it into his hand, thunderclouds seemed to spontaneously gather in the sky.

"Bring forth the light of evil!!!"

The thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be torn apart by a giant hand, pouring out molten gold-like lightning from the cracks. With each bolt of lightning that struck, a charred, inverted pentagram array appeared on the ground, and the magma at the center of the array suddenly exploded, as the demon's summons rose from the hellfire.

Its dark red muscle fibers were inlaid with armor forged from golden bones, and curved bone spurs extended from its joints. Two pairs of bone wings, pieced together from its spine, suddenly unfolded on its back, their membranes covered with dancing lightning patterns. As it raised its head and roared, all the free-floating golden lightning bolts in the clouds suddenly converged, forming a lightning pillar over ten meters in diameter that struck its raised right claw. The instant the lightning was absorbed by the bone armor, the surrounding air distorted due to the intense heat, even the shadows were scorched gray-white.
