Chapter 673: Locked LP, Why Didn't You Bring Fireball?
Because of Téa's two Set Cards, both Tristan's and Téa's Life Points were like a flickering candle at this moment. Yet, Téa used the effect of Swamp Battleguard to leave a powerful monster with 2000 ATK on her field.
On the other hand, Tristan had already used his Normal Summon this turn to Summon Barbarian King, and currently had no monsters in his hand that could be Special Summoned. Next turn, he could only watch helplessly as Téa's Swamp Battleguard directly attacked him, taking his last 500 Life Points.
If he truly had no options left.
"That was amazing, Téa, but don't underestimate my endurance. It's just a fatal wound. Don't think an attack of this level can defeat me," Tristan said with a smile, watching as Téa Special Summoned Swamp Battleguard in Attack Position.
Although he was very confident when he Summoned Barbarian King earlier, at that time, Tristan didn't feel like he could win immediately because he didn't know what cards Téa had Set. However, it was different now. Because of Téa's Trap Card combo, both players' Life Points were running low.
And after Téa Summoned Swamp Battleguard with 2000 ATK, while it was certainly a great threat to Tristan, it also meant that Tristan had waited for an opportunity.
As long as Tristan could Summon a monster with 2500 ATK or more, then he could clear her Life Points before Téa's turn arrived and achieve victory!
And at this moment, Tristan truly had such a powerful card in his hand!
"Heh heh, watch closely, Téa. This card is a powerful card that Marik specifically recommended for me to use. Next, I will use this card to defeat you!" As he spoke, Tristan boldly played a card from his hand. "Spell Card, Fireball!"
"Marik originally said that during duels, Life Points would often become stuck and unmoving when they dropped to a certain level, as if they were locked. I was still a bit skeptical, but I didn't expect it would actually happen like this. It's a good thing I brought this card!"
Tristan said proudly, putting his hands on his hips. "This card can inflict 500 effect damage to the opponent. Exactly enough to clear your 500 Life Points, which are like a flickering candle. Looks like I've won, huh? Marik's understanding of duels is truly amazing!"
"Oh no," Hearing Tristan, who had certain victory, arrogantly say a fatal word, Marik couldn't help but slap his forehead. "The word 'Flickering Candle' is a taboo."
"Huh? It's not that exaggerated, is it? It's just a word," Tristan said dismissively. "Téa can still draw another card and finish me off—"
"Now! I activate Set Card, Hell's Cold Gun!" Téa pressed the button, revealing the last card on her Back Row. "Can only be activated when an effect that inflicts damage is activated. Inflict the effect damage you would take to your opponent."
Honda watched helplessly as a Fireball appeared on his field. But before the Fireball was launched, a gun appeared on Téa's Back Row, aimed at him, and pulled the trigger before the Fireball hit Téa.
"Because of chain resolution, Hell's Cold Gun is processed first," Since the result was already revealed, Yugi stood up and said with a smile. "First, Tristan will take damage equal to the damage Fireball would inflict, which is exactly 500 points."
"His Life Points were just cleared," Hayato also smiled slightly. "Therefore, Téa, who hadn't taken damage when your Life Points were reduced to zero, is the winner, Tristan."
Receiving proof from both Hayato and Yugi, Tristan watched helplessly as the phantom of the bullet penetrated his body, and the Life Point value on his Duel Disk was reduced to zero. "Seriously, I thought I might have some talent in this aspect. After all, you're all so amazing."
"Heh heh, this isn't something you can easily do just by thinking 'I can do it too'. Don't underestimate Duel Monsters, Tristan," Joey Wheeler patted Tristan's shoulder and said with a grin. "But for a beginner, you were already pretty amazing, weren't you? Though you still can't compare to Lord Joey Wheeler."
"Oh please, didn't you lose to Téa too?"
"How long ago was that? It doesn't count, it doesn't count!"
Honda's frustration didn't even last three seconds before Joey Wheeler broke his mood. The two of them started joking and messing around again, clearly not taking the duel's failure to heart.
This duel was just a game between friends. Although Duel Monsters is often burdened with heavy meaning in many situations, it is still a game in itself, and games are meant to bring happiness to people.
How Tristan felt about the duel, others weren't sure, but everyone could see that Téa, who finished off Tristan in one turn by activating three Trap Cards in a row, looked like she was quite happy.
"It really feels strange, Duel Monsters is truly interesting." Taking off the Duel Disk on her wrist and returning it to Yugi, Téa, who had experienced the transformed Duel Monsters again after a long time, enjoyed the fun of it and said with a smile to Yugi. "I can somewhat understand why you boys can put so much passion into Duel Monsters."
"However, if Duel Monsters could be cuter, its popularity among young girls would probably be higher, right?"
Hearing Téa's words, Yugi was also very happy that his childhood friend could enjoy the fun of duels, and at the same time, he habitually introduced, "There are many cute Duel Monsters too. For example, Kuriboh and Dark Magician Girl are both great."
"Speaking of Dark Magician Girl, Yugi, are you showcasing?" Téa looked at Yugi helplessly and said, "As far as I know, there seems to be only one Dark Magician Girl card in your Deck. It's even rarer than her Dark Magician card. Although she's very cute, other people fundamentally have no possibility of using her."
"Indeed, if others want to experience the feeling of using Dark Magician Girl, they either Take Control of your card in a duel, or print a pirated Toon Dark Magician Girl like Pegasus, or simulate Dark Magician Girl's data in the Virtual World," Hayato nodded, affirming Téa's saying, completely disregarding the fact that the user of the first method he mentioned was himself, standing right in front of Yugi.
"Ahaha, I don't know why either," Yugi said shyly, scratching his head. After taking and putting away the Duel Disk, he took out his Deck and immediately saw the two cards at the very front of the Deck. They were precisely the Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl cards.
"Perhaps, it's because there's some special destiny between them and me? Haha, just a joke."
After Téa and Tristan's duel ended, Marik turned around and glanced at the electronic map on the table behind him, exclaiming, "Before I knew it, we've been traveling for so long! Have we already entered the Indian Ocean?"
"In that case, we should arrive in Egypt in about four or five more hours." Turning his head to look at the row of clocks hanging inside the Aircraft Cabin, the one showing Tokyo Time had reached exactly twelve o'clock noon. Hayato, thinking it was about time to start eating lunch, pressed the call service button.
What made him a bit confused was that even though the button was working normally and lit up, the door leading to the Crew Work Area in the back half of the Aircraft Cabin didn't open for a long time.
