Yu-Gi-Oh!: I've Been Kidnapped by the Spirits and Taken to Duel City

Chapter 286 Vector's Advancement

Chapter 286 Vector's Advancement (Combined Chapter)

"During the Battle Phase, when your opponent activates a monster's effect, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to activate this effect; negate that activation and inflict 800 damage to your opponent!"

Vector's eyes widened as if he were bulging out of their sockets, blood vessels bulging within them: "Take this! Duel King!"

【Masked Dancer. Flash】Spins his body at high speed, absorbing an Overload Material as energy, interrupting the Jellyfish Monster's splitting and resurrection.

[No. 104: Masked Madoka. Shimmer, Xyz Material: 3→2]

"There's still 800 damage left! Get ready!"

[Flash] Throws out a flying wheel that hits Kagura's body. Kagura staggers a few steps before regaining her balance.

[Kagura Kiryu, LP3200→LP2400]

"Hahaha, how's it going! How's the pain of the Dark Game?"

Vector laughed exaggeratedly, his antics were both funny and infuriating, making him look like a complete psychopath.

"Hehehe, what's so funny?"

Kagura swayed as she stood up and slowly raised her head.

Vector frowned as he looked at Kagura's expression, then suddenly froze.

Kagura showed no sign of being disheveled; instead, her eyes held a deep excitement, her expression like that of a demon from hell laughing maniacally amidst blood and corpses.

Pure malice, a kind of pure, pleasurable malice that sent chills down even Vector's spine.

"Open the cover card!"

The only face-down card at Kagura's feet opened: "Trap Card, [Witch's Strike]!"

"This effect can only be activated if the opponent negates the Normal or Special Summon of a monster, or if the opponent negates the activation of the effects of a Spell, Trap, or Monster!"

Kagura narrowed her eyes with delight, her gaze filled with the cunning of someone who had succeeded in their scheme: "Destroy all of the opponent's cards in their hand and on the field!"

Vector was completely dumbfounded, clutching the two cards in his hand.

"Destroy everything!?"

Kagura nodded gently, like a friendly older brother next door. The next second, a bolt of purple lightning suddenly shot out from the opened trap, as fast as if launching a deadly sneak attack.

The Masked Masochist Flash on the Vector Field exploded with a bang, turning into ashes.

With an empty field and zero cards in hand, even a scoundrel like Vector, the supervillain, was momentarily at a loss.

No, you————

Aren't you being a little shameless? You're saying these targeted cards weren't just hastily printed?!

Vector really misunderstood Kagura. Of course, she knew that Vector had a lot of nullification cards, so she deliberately put in a counter card.

Believe it or not, there aren't many characters in Yu-Gi-Oh! who like to negate the opponent's effects, except for Vector, who has several cards like that.

These were just random cards that I don't usually play, but I didn't expect them to be so effective when I put them in my deck.

Vector was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his senses. His eyes were no longer mocking, but filled with a mixture of rage, seriousness, and earnestness: "You bastard, did you somehow already know my deck all along?"

Kagura gave a friendly smile, but her tone and words were incredibly irritating: "Who knows? Maybe I'm lucky, or maybe you're unlucky and just happened to run into the line of fire."

Veins bulged on Vector's grayish-white skin. Damn it, how come this Duel King is even more rude than him?

But it's okay. Even though he's empty-handed, he still has a backup plan. It's alright, he can hold out.

"Alright, you're out of cards, so you probably don't have any more moves to make. Now it's my turn. Draw a card!"

Kagura unceremoniously helped Vector finish his turn.

Kagura glanced at the card she had drawn and almost burst out laughing: "Then let's have a mixed bag today."

"Normal Summon, [Summoner Aleister]!"

The appearance of a magician wearing a monocle and sporting a sinister smile gave Vector a bad feeling.

[Summoner. Aleister, Level 4, Dark Attribute, Mage Race, Attack Power 1000, Effect Monster]

"【Summoner Aleister】, activates when Summoning/Flip: Add 1 【Summoning Magic】 from your Deck."

Add to hand!

Kagura's deck automatically popped out cards, which he drew and inserted directly into the slot: "Now I activate the Spell Card [Summoning Magic]!"

"This card can be used as Fusion Material to fuse monsters from your hand, but when Fusion Summoning a [Summoned] monster, you can also banish monsters from your field, Graveyard, and opponent's Graveyard as Fusion Material!"

"I'll take my [Summoner Aleister] from the field and your [Summoner Aleister] from the graveyard—"

Vector's eyelids twitched wildly. "Please, please, please don't let it be a flash! Please, please, please don't let it be a flash!"

Kagura seemed to read his mind, "I choose [No. 104: Masked Madancer. Flash] from your graveyard!"

Click.

A card immediately popped out of Vector's graveyard. The soul of [Masked Dancer. Flash] was sacrificed by Alai, who grinned as he began a magic spell to summon a monster from another world.

Two souls merged in another dimension, and Kagura shouted, "The fusion conditions are [Summoner. Aleister] + a Light-attribute monster!"

"Fusion Summon! Come forth! Swordsman of Light wielding his blade, [Summon: Merkaba]!"

[Summoned Beast. Merkaba, Level 9, Light Attribute, Machine Type, Attack Power 2500, Fusion Monster.]

This [Summoned Beast. Merkaba] is a new alternate art version that Kagura obtained, with the lower half of the chariot replaced by normal legs.

This holy mechanical angel spread its steel wings, its body inlaid with gold decorations, and held a longsword and a staff in its hands, seemingly transforming from a physical attacker to a dual cultivator of both physical and magical attacks.

"asshole----"

Vector has many ways to retrieve Xyz Monsters from graveyards, but not many ways to retrieve them from the Exclusion Zone.

"Then I activate the effect of the [Summoning Magic] card in my graveyard, returning one [Summoner Aleister] card from my banished zone to my hand, and then returning this [Summoning Magic] card to my deck."

Kagura adds the [Summoner Aleister] from her pocket to her hand, then inserts the [Summoning Magic] into her deck, which is then automatically shuffled.

Vector's expression changed drastically. Oh no! Another effect of [Summoner Aleister] is—

"Entering battle phase!"

Kagura pointed at Vector: "[Summoned Beast. Merkaba], attack him directly!"

The mechanical angel swung its sword, but Vector immediately raised its hand, its five fingers forming a shield in front of it: "Damn it, I've activated the graveyard trap—the effect of [Overload Bento]!"

"You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 monster Special Summoned from your Extra Deck; change that monster's battle position!"

A strange Trap Card immediately popped out of Vector's graveyard: "I choose [Summoned Beast Merkaba] on your field!"

Kagura narrowed her eyes: "A card sent to the graveyard because of [Witch's Strike]?"

Kagura wasn't too surprised. If it were an ordinary duelist, they would be helpless after taking a hit from a "Witch's Strike" card, and it would be normal for them to die instantly.

But for a high-level duelist like Vector, it's impossible to lose so easily, especially since Vector used the [Varia Draw], a legitimate god-tier draw.

Kagura immediately raised a card: "Then I'll activate the monster effect of [Summoned Beast: Merkaba]!"

"Once per turn, when a monster's effect, Spell Card, or Trap Card is activated, you can use 1 monster of the same type as that effect to cast Spell Card."

You can activate this effect only if a card is sent from your hand to the Graveyard; negate that activation and banish it!

"I send one Trap Card from my hand to the Graveyard to negate your activated [Xyz Slug]!"

Kagura sent the card she had raised to the graveyard at lightning speed, and the mechanical angel, skilled in both physical and magical attacks, raised her staff, a burst of magic interfering with the card's effect.

"Attack continues!"

Kagura holds up a card in her hand: "I activate the effect of [Summoner Aleister] in my hand, sending this card to the Graveyard, increasing the ATK and DEF of 1 Fusion Monster I control by 1000 until the end of this turn!"

"I choose [Summoned Beast. Merkaba]!"

[Summoned Beast. Merkaba, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 3500]

[Bekuta, LP3100]

If this attack succeeds, Vector's health will undoubtedly be reduced to zero.

But Vector, facing the longsword of light swung at him, roared angrily, "Don't underestimate me! I won't let you succeed so easily!"

His right hand clenched tightly with its five sharp fingers, his ashen skin twitching: "I activate the perpetual trap in the graveyard! [Light-Sealing Spirit Sword]!"

"During your opponent's turn, banish this card from your Graveyard. This turn, your opponent's monsters cannot attack directly!"

Three giant lightsabers descended from the sky, blocking Vector's path. The mechanical angel's longsword slashed at the lightsabers, creating intense sparks.

Unfortunately, the iron sword was no match for the lightsaber, and the attack of [Summoned Beast. Merkaba] was blocked, forcing it to retreat.

"Amazing!"

Kagura was very impressed. This was definitely a fake. Vector truly lived up to his reputation as the biggest villain in Z4 besides the thousands of masters. He was practically an unkillable cockroach.

"Then I'll face down two cards, end of turn."

Kagura set both of her cards face-down, leaving no cost for "Summoned Beast Melkaba" because both were traps. Vector had no cards on the field and couldn't use traps next turn.

"My turn————"

Vector placed his fingers on the deck, his eyes widening: "Varia!!! Draw a card!!!"

As the card was drawn out, the surrounding darkness seemed to be drawn in, and dazzling black particles condensed on the card.

Kagura: ———A multicolored black?

Aren't you supposed to be a supervillain? Why do you give off the vibe of the main characters being cornered by the villainous BOSS?

Vector held the card he had drawn high: "I activate my Spell Card! [The Magic Book in the Pot] (Original Card), both players draw three cards from their decks!"

Kagura then drew three cards. It seems that Vector is quite adaptable to local customs; their world doesn't have such a card-replenishing artifact.

Starting from the latter half of the second season, overpowered card replacement artifacts became increasingly rare, and from the third season onwards, even card replacements that could be exchanged for two cards were seldom seen.

"Thank you for your card."

Kagura waved the card around, looking like she was asking for a beating, which made Vector's fists harden.

At this moment, he understood perfectly why he had been so hated before. Although he had done it on purpose, he really wanted to punch him.

"Next, I activate my Spell Card, 'Pot of Greed'! I draw two cards from my deck!"

Bekuta's assimilation of local customs was astonishing, but the shameless half-native decided to halt this progress.

Kagura held up a card: "I activate the effect of [Summoned Beast. Merkaba]: Once per turn, send a card of the same type as your opponent's activated card to the Graveyard, negate its effect, and banish it!"

"I send a Spell Card to the Graveyard to negate and banish the effect of [Pot of Greed]".

The warrior, proficient in both physics and magic, raised his wand and unleashed a magical wave to interfere. The Pot of Greed immediately emitted a crackling error sound and was sent to another dimension.

Vector, however, showed no sign of discouragement. Winking and making faces, he started his usual cheeky grin again: "Hehehe, you fell for it!"

"Your Invalidate ability can only be used once per turn! Now I can continue in peace!"

He held up another card in his hand: "I activate the equipment spell, [Dimensional Resurrection]!"

"Discard 1 card from your hand, target 1 banished monster of yours, Special Summon that monster in Attack Position, Equip this card! When this card leaves the field, destroy that monster."

"I discard one card to revive the banished [No. 104: Masked Mazodancer Flash]!"

"Come forth! [Flash], descend upon my field once more!"

With three connecting iron rings on her fingers, the dancer, possessing an eerie and holy aura, reappears, her wings spread wide, resurrected from another dimension.

[No. 104: Masked Madoka. Flash, Attack Power 2700.]

With his ace back, Vector's confidence soared: "The card I just discarded was a magic card, [Compensation Card]!"

(Comic Card) Draw two cards from your deck!

666, it must have been printed on the spot.

With the two cards in hand, Vector glanced at them and started chuckling again: "I activate the Spell Card, [Xyz Spell Card]! You can target 1 Xyz Monster of Rank 4 or lower on your field; draw cards from your Deck equal to the number of its Rank! (Manga Card)"

Kagura: ————6.

It's an over-slot treasure card! This seems to be something used in comics.

Vector: "I choose Rank 4 [Number 104: Masked Demon Dancer. Flash], draw four cards from my deck!"

"Varia Gacha!"

The unscrupulous Vector immediately quipped, "Hahaha, you're dead now!"

Vector held up a card in his hand: "Let me show you the true power of the Seven Varia Emperors!"

"I activate [Advanced Magic - Barian Power]!"

Vector exudes an intense, dark aura, and the card in his hand bursts forth with astonishing power: "This card allows you to raise one Xyz Monster on your field by one Rank and Special Summon a [Chaos No.] or [Chaos Xyz] Monster!"

"I choose [No. 104: Masked Mazodancer Flash], to rebuild the Superimposed Network with a monster, Chaos Xyz Transformation!"

"When the power of the Balian, born from chaos, envelops the light, the great darkness will dance!"

"Appear! [Chaos No. 104: Masked Demon Dancer. Shadow]!"
