Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1486 Silence VS. Radiant Halo
"The attack of the Light Angel - Radiant Halo!"

Seeing the arrow of the Radiant Angel hurtling through the air, Youxuan calmly revealed a card from his hand: "Then I will activate the Trap Card 'Dimensional Wall' from my hand!"

Druby: "Activate a trap card from your hand!?"

"Yes, I have to thank you for that." You Xuan chuckled. "When you Xyz Summoned Radiant Angel: Radiant Ring, you destroyed my face-down card in the back row, right?"

Drube: "!"

Indeed. He had just glimpsed it too; the card that exploded in the back row when Light Angel Radiance was summoned seemed to be some kind of trap card. However, it didn't seem to be a general-purpose trap; he hadn't seen it before, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, there are no card-checking tools in the world of anime. You can only read the effects of your opponent's cards word for word when they are activated by projecting a large image on the field. An unfamiliar trap card flashes by and goes to the graveyard, and even if you want to know its effect, you have no way of reading it.

Moreover, before this, Drubey had never thought that a trap that had already been blown up was worth paying attention to.

“The card you destroyed was the Trap Card ‘Cross Counter Trap’,” Yu Xuan said. “The effect of this card is that during the turn it is sent to the Graveyard by an opponent’s card effect, I have only one chance during this turn to activate a Trap Card from my hand.” (Original Card)
Drubey frowned: "A double trap? Was the first trap just bait to lure me into sabotage?"

"Yes, that's why you were able to step on my dimensional wall so easily," You Xuan smiled. "The effect of the dimensional wall is that it allows the opponent to bear the combat damage that occurs in this battle!"

Space shattered before You Xuan, and a dimensional rift was torn open. The arrow of the Angel of Light pierced through the body of the Silent Magician, but the aftershock was sucked into the rift before it could hit You Xuan.

The rift seemed to distort the laws of space; the golden arrow flew back and struck Drube directly, exploding in the face of the Balian warrior with a loud bang.

"Wow!"

[Druby, LP 4000 → LP 2000]

The physical impact of the battle with the numbered monster caused Drube to stagger backward, black smoke billowing from his body, and he involuntarily knelt on the ground.

"hateful."

This round did indeed inflict significant damage as he had hoped, but the powerful punch landed on his own face. And it was his own doing.

Yu Xuan: "Furthermore, when Silent Magician is destroyed by battle or by an opponent's card effect, Special Summon one 'Silent Magician' monster from your hand or Deck, ignoring its summoning conditions."

From the intersection of chaos and order, a silent radiance shines forth; the magician of light descends here—

—The Silent Magician, Level 8!

Although the original form was temporarily destroyed, the energy released after the destruction reassembled to form a new, pure white magic circle. The elegant, silver-white magician spun out from within, her robes billowing, and the six-pointed star magic circle on her staff bloomed like flower petals.

[Silent Magician LV8, Attack Power 3500]

Drubey gritted his teeth.

As a result, not only did he take the damage himself, but he also failed to defeat the monster on the other side. Instead, it seemed as if he had leveled up and transformed.

Although he didn't know the difference between the two forms of the Silent Magician, this one now had a higher star rating, stronger base attack power, and more importantly, it seemed to have gotten bigger as well. It must have leveled up, right?
"Two cards are face down, the turn is over," said Drubey.

"Is it over? Then it's my turn. Draw a card."

Yu Xuan shook the card he had searched in the previous turn. "Then I'm going to Normal Summon this card next."

The three-colored gadgets are in a defensive stance.

Although it's a monster card, it actually summons three monsters. Red Gear, Yellow Gear, and Green Gear—Yugi Muto's classic gear brother trio, mechanical gears with short arms and legs, the three brothers crammed together in one monster zone.

[Three-color gadget, Defense 1100]

"The effect of the Tricolor Gadgets: If the Tricolor Gadgets are successfully summoned, add one 'Golden Chest of Light' or a Spell/Trap Card with the card name written on it from your Deck to your hand."

You Xuan revealed a card that he had retrieved from his deck.

"I added the Continuous Spell 'Golden Chest of Light' to my hand from my deck."

"Then the 'Golden Chest of Light' perpetual magic is activated!"

At the heart of the entire new deck set, a dazzling incandescent light gathers on the field, gradually transforming into the image of a solid golden chest. Intricate patterns and reliefs adorn the sacred chest, and the wide-open Eye of Horus seems to be scrutinizing the entire world.

Druby instinctively raised his arm to shield his eyes from the blinding light: "The Golden Chest of Light?"

For some reason, even though it was just a spell that hadn't yet activated its power, he seemed to be able to sense that the cabinet contained some kind of power that was even greater than his own.

“Golden Chest of Light, effect activated.” You Xuan said, “Once per turn, add one related card (excluding Golden Chest) from your deck to your hand that has the name ‘Golden Chest of Light’.”

Yu Xuan's deck released a golden light. At the same time, the heavy lid of the golden cabinet slowly slid open with a rumbling hum, and a dazzling light burst forth from the gap.

Although he didn't know what to search for or what the deck was, Druby instinctively sensed that the card was dangerous.

We can't let him act recklessly!
“It’s no use,” Drubey shouted. “The moment your ‘Golden Chest of Light’ was activated, my trap was already triggered.”

Trap Card 'Magic Detection Tablet'!
This card can only be activated when a Continuous Spell Card is activated, negating the effects of all Continuous Spell Cards on the field until the end of the turn!

The light inside the gold cabinet dimmed abruptly, and the search ended.

You Xuan: "Hmm, you've got some skills."

At this moment, the Silent Magician LV8 on the field had higher attack power than the Light Angel·Radiant Ring, but Drube was not worried at all. This level of attack was no match for his Light Angel·Radiant Ring.

Besides removing materials, lowering ATK, and erasing opponent's effects, as mentioned before, Radiant Ring has another effect. When this card is destroyed by battle or card effect, it can negate the destruction by removing Xyz Material. Furthermore, if destroyed by battle, it can also halve the battle damage.

Furthermore, prior to this, NO. could not be destroyed by battles with monsters other than NO. However, if you use materials to resist destruction, you can further reduce battle damage.

but
You Xuan calmly revealed a card in his hand: "Activate the spell card 'Overlay Shatter' from my hand!"
This card can target one Xyz Monster on the field, send all of that monster's Xyz Materials to the Graveyard, and negate any effects that cannot be destroyed by battle! (Original Card)
The card that Touko used in the anime, a counter card against NO. Special Attack.

Drubey was taken aback: "What?!"

Seeing that the other two materials of the Light Angel·Radiant Halo were forcibly extracted and sank into the vortex that opened on the ground, You Xuan chuckled and said, "What, why are you so surprised?"
You don't think I knew this dimension was full of NO users and I had no special countermeasures, do you?
