# Chapter 703: The One Who Punishes You Is My Tamashii!
"【Shaddoll Falco】 can only use one of its effects once per Turn, so the 【Shaddoll Falco】 that was Sent to the Graveyard by 【Polymerization】 this time won't be Revived. However, the effect of 【Shaddoll Hedgehog】, which was also Sent to the Graveyard by 【Polymerization】, Activates,"
Hayato raised his Duel Disk and drew a Card that it automatically Searched, displaying it. "Add one 【Shaddoll】 Monster other than 【Shaddoll Hedgehog】 from the Deck to my Hand. The Monster I choose is this one, 【Shaddoll Lizard】."
【Hayato: 4000 LP, Hand 3】
However, compared to Hayato's resource management from his Deck, the Gravekeeper's Elder was more concerned about the Monster that appeared on Hayato's Field.
【El Shaddoll Midrash】【ATK 2200】
'ATK of 2200 points, huh? That's more like it, but still too weak. Next, it must be that Monster's Attack, right?'
The Gravekeeper's Elder glanced at the last Set Card in his Spell/Trap Zone. 'But, I still have the strongest Card that can be used in this situation on my Back Row. Just one Monster isn't enough of a Threat. Before that, I'll just use that Kid's own Card to block it.'
【Dragonmaid Laundry Dragon】【DEF 1600】
Looking at Little Blue in Defense Position, Hayato said seriously, "Little Blue, I love you so much! For you, I'm activating this Powerful Card!"
"Spell Card 【Shield Crush】! Activate by Targeting one Defense Position Monster on the Field! Destroy that Monster!"
Following the Card's Activation, a green laser shot at Little Blue on the Gravekeeper's Elder's Field. A Phantom Shield appeared on her body and was shattered. "Ugh!" Little Blue screamed and was mercilessly Destroyed and Sent to the Graveyard by Hayato.
Catching the 【Dragonmaid Laundry Dragon】 card that returned to his hand, Hayato looked at it with an angry expression before sending it to the Graveyard. "Damn it, my cute and powerful Little Blue was just Destroyed and Sent to the Graveyard like that! How dare you harm my Cherished Monster, you are truly unforgivable!"
"What does that have to do with me?! Didn't *you* Destroy that Monster yourself?!" The Gravekeeper's Elder had no intention of taking the blame Hayato was throwing at him and said angrily, "Nonsense, I cannot understand!"
"Alright then, in that case, I'll Enter Battle Phase and launch a Direct Attack on you since you have no Monsters left on your Field!" Hayato pointed at the Gravekeeper's Elder. "The one who punishes you is my Tamashii, 【El Shaddoll Midrash】!"
"Extreme Dive Bombing Crash!"
As the prototypes for 【El Shaddoll Midrash】, 【Gusto Priestess - Winda】 and 【Wind Dragon Star - Pulao】 are both WIND Attribute Monsters, it's perfectly reasonable for Hayato to use a Flying Type Z-Move.
Facing the Attack of 【El Shaddoll Midrash】, the Gravekeeper's Elder hesitated slightly.
This timing just met the Activation Condition of the Set Card in his Spell/Trap Zone. But if he used that Powerful Card just to trade for a mere Level 5☆ Monster, it would be too much of a waste. However, if he didn't use it, 2200 ATK points would be quite painful, and his Life Points would instantly drop to only half.
After a brief consideration, and thinking that if he left the Card on the Field, it might be Destroyed by Cards like 【Mystical Space Typhoon】 next Turn, the Gravekeeper's Elder finally decided to Activate the Set Card.
"Chain to that Monster's Attack Declaration," the Gravekeeper's Elder said proudly. "Although the previous 【Card Exchange】 involved some Psychological Tactics, I wasn't lying last Turn. I truly drew the strongest Ultimate Card in my Deck. Now is the time! I Activate the last Card I Set last Turn!"
"False 'God', kneel before me, before this Sublime Power!!"
"Trap Card, 【Mirror Force】!!!"
The Set Card in the Gravekeeper's Elder's Spell/Trap Zone flipped up. It wasn't a Card possessing a Strange Curse like 【Sakuretsu Armor】, but rather the highest level of Attack Declaration Trap, Hanoi's (crossed out) 【Mirror Force】!
As the Set Card opened, an arc-shaped Protective Barrier enveloped the Gravekeeper's Elder. Once triggered by an Attack, this seemingly fragile Protective Barrier would instantly Destroy all Attack Position Monsters on Hayato's Field without Targeting them, instantly crushing them, leaving not a single one behind. How powerful!
"Although it only trades for one of your mere Level 5☆ Monsters, the thought that your last remaining Monster on the Field will also be Destroyed, allowing me to freely Summon Monsters and Attack you next Turn, makes using this Card worthwhile." The Gravekeeper's Elder pointed triumphantly at the 【El Shaddoll Midrash】 flying towards him. "With such powerful strength, how can that Monster withstand it?"
He couldn't help but imagine the scene of the Monster before him being crushed to pieces under the Despair-inducing Power of 【Mirror Force】!
However, he didn't notice the knowing smiles on the faces of Joey Wheeler , Yugi, and the others watching the Duel.
The next moment, 【El Shaddoll Midrash】, a Spellcaster Type Monster that imitated a Flying Creature diving from high altitude under Hayato's Instruction, crashed into the mirror barrier before the Gravekeeper's Elder. It successfully triggered the destructive power within, and the Impact instantly swept across Hayato's entire Field. 【El Shaddoll Midrash】 naturally bore the brunt of the Destruction effect.
But contrary to what the Gravekeeper's Elder expected, even though it clearly took the hit from the Impact emitted by 【Mirror Force】, 【El Shaddoll Midrash】 remained unharmed as if nothing happened. After its Mount bit and shattered the Protective Barrier, 【Midrash】 on the dragon's back leaped up, aimed at the position Hayato had attacked before, and kicked towards the Gravekeeper's Elder!
"Bugah!"
【Elder: 4000 → 1800 LP】
"Rider Kick," the green-haired puppet-like figure said softly after completing the Attack. She lightly landed back on the dragon's back on tiptoe, holding onto the Staff which was more decorative than practical, and returned to Hayato's Field, remaining silent as if nothing happened.
Only the Gravekeeper's Elder, covering his Nose which had suffered a second injury, lay on the ground and looked angrily at Hayato. "Why, why wasn't that Monster Destroyed?!"
"Well well, I actually didn't expect the Set Card in your Spell/Trap Zone to be Hanoi's Mirror Force."
Hayato didn't notice 【Midrash】's quiet muttering just now. Looking at the Gravekeeper's Elder's angry expression, he grinned and laughed, "【El Shaddoll Midrash】 cannot be destroyed by opponent's effects. If you couldn't even imagine this, then you are indeed an Ignorant Fool bound by Earth's Gravity."
"Is Earth's Gravity something that lowers intelligence?" Hearing Hayato's words, Aleister, who stuck his head out from the Graveyard and lay on the Duel Disk, couldn't help but Rant.
Looking at the 【Shaddoll Lizard】 and 【Localized Tornado】 in his Hand, Hayato didn't Set either Card. Instead, he ended his Turn like this. "Then, My Turn ends here."
【Hayato: 4000 LP, Hand 2】
【El Shaddoll Midrash】【ATK 2200】
"An Ability that prevents it from being Destroyed by effects... Tsk, is that such a troublesome effect? But, it can be solved just by Battle Destruction, right? Just trash with only Level 5."
Hearing the Gravekeeper's Elder's words, Hayato also nodded. "That's right. Although Battle Destruction Immunity is the most useless Resistance, Battle Destruction is the most effective Removal Method."
He paused for a moment, glancing at the Gravekeeper's Elder's empty hand, or rather, his Duel Disk, then continued, "However, with no Hand Cards, can you precisely Draw the Card that can support you in Summoning a Monster with the Ability to Battle Destroy 【El Shaddoll Midrash】?"
The Gravekeeper's Elder frowned slightly and said calmly, "Nonsense. Before Drawing a Card, how would I know what Card I will Draw."
"In short, My Turn, Draw!"
Reaching his Hand towards the Deck Zone of the unique Golden Duel Disk, the Duel Disk spat out a Card which the Gravekeeper's Elder took into his Hand, and after looking at the Card he drew, an expression of joy appeared on his aged face. "Heh heh, heh ha ha ha, my Deck responded to me and let me Draw a suitable Card."
However, in Hayato's view, while the expression on the Gravekeeper's Elder's face was close to "surprise", it was more so "Proud".
"Normal Summon this Monster in Attack Position, 【Shield Worm】!"
Placing the Card on the Duel Disk, a worm with most of its body covered in brown armor as part of its shell appeared on the Gravekeeper's Elder's Field. As soon as it appeared on the Field, this worm couldn't help but want to curl up its body and protect itself with its armor because of the 【El Shaddoll Midrash】 on Hayato's Field.
"When 【Shield Worm】 is Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned successfully, it changes to Defense Position because of its Own Effect." The Gravekeeper's Elder looked at 【Shield Worm】's action, but pointed at his Monster with his Hand. "However, this effect will be negated by the effect of 【Imperial Order】 on my Back Row, and then I Draw a Card from my Deck!"
【Imperial Order】, the Continuous Trap Card that negated 【Aleister the Invoker】's effect last Turn, affects the entire Field indiscriminately. A white light flashed from the flipped-up 【Imperial Order】 in the Back Row and fell upon 【Shield Worm】. The worm attempting to curl up its body was forced to remain stiff on the Field in Attack Position, unable to use its Own Effect.
【Shield Worm】【Level 4☆/EARTH】
【Insect Type/Effect】
【800/2000】
And the Gravekeeper's Elder once again Took Out a Card from the Golden Duel Disk. This time, he couldn't even be bothered to show a surprised expression and directly Activated the Card he drew. "Next is this Card, 【Magical Mallet】! Send the Face-up Continuous Trap Card 【Imperial Order】 on my Field to Activate! I Draw two Cards from my Deck."
"Following that is this Card, Spell Card 【Graceful Charity】! I Draw three Cards from my Deck, then Send two Hand Cards to the Graveyard."
The overly smooth operation made Joey Wheeler scratch the back of his head somewhat strangely. "It feels like something's a bit off? Although a True Duelist can decide the future of drawing cards for themselves, I can't feel the Aura a True Duelist should have from that old guy at all."
Yugi also nodded quite approvingly but didn't say anything, just watching the Field. Like Hayato, he specifically looked at the Golden Duel Disk in the Gravekeeper's Elder's Hand, having a guess in his heart.
After Sending Cards to the Graveyard and replacing his hand, the Gravekeeper's Elder revealed a quite arrogant smile and said, "To be able to hurt me, you have some Strength, but this is as far as you go! Because right now, I will Summon the strongest Card in my Deck!"
"Tribute 【Shield Worm】! Activate this Spell Card, 【Hatching】! Special Summon one Insect Type monster from my Deck with 1 Level higher than the Tributed monster." While saying this, the Gravekeeper's Elder again Took Out a Card from his Deck and placed it on the Field as a substitute for 【Shield Worm】. "Come forth, 【Ultimate Insect LV5】!"
Under the influence of 【Hatching】, 【Shield Worm】 spat out a large amount of Silk Thread and wrapped its body. Accompanied by the squirming and deforming of the Cocoon, a pair of sharp Grasping Legs stabbed out, tearing a large opening in the Cocoon, and a giant Insect with a fierce Aura crawled out from it.
【Ultimate Insect LV5】【Level 5☆/WIND】
【Insect Type/Effect】
【2300/900】
"Hahaha, this is my Ace Card, the legendary LV Monster 【Ultimate Insect】! Although it wasn't Special Summoned by the Power of 【Ultimate Insect LV3】 and lost its most powerful effect, it's already enough to Defeat that Monster of yours!"
"But, it's not over yet! I will also Summon this Monster!" While saying this, the Gravekeeper's Elder played another Card from his Hand. "【Doom Dozer】 can only be Special Summoned by Banishing two Insect Type monsters from my Graveyard. I will Banish the ones I Sent to the Graveyard earlier with 【Graceful Charity】... Huh?"
Even though he had placed the Card on the Duel Disk, the Figure of 【Doom Dozer】 did not appear on the Gravekeeper's Elder's Field, nor did the Graveyard Zone spit out the two Monster Cards he intended to Banish.
Immediately, the Gravekeeper's Elder cast a suspicious gaze towards Hayato.
"This kind of Special Summon, if there are too many, it will only leave long combos in the Duel. That won't do, so let me use Mi to save the Duel." Facing the Gravekeeper's Elder's gaze, Hayato explained, "As long as 【El Shaddoll Midrash】 exists in the Monster Zone, during that period, Both Players can only Special Summon a monster once per Turn."
"【Shield Worm】 was a Normal Summon, so it's not affected. And the appearance of 【Ultimate Insect LV5】 has already consumed your only Special Summon."
While saying this, Hayato pretended to look around. "As for 【Doom Dozer】, it probably got lost somewhere. It can't come out for now."
"Tsk, it actually has an effect? In that case, isn't that Monster's Strength too troublesome?!" The Gravekeeper's Elder took back the 【Doom Dozer】 Card and looked annoyed at Mi on Hayato's Field. "Then I'll Special Summon 【Doom Dozer】 after I Destroy that Monster. You got lucky."
"Enter Battle Phase! Use 【Ultimate Insect LV5】 to Attack 【El Shaddoll Midrash】!"
"Poison Powder Storm!"
"【Shaddoll Falco】 can only use one of its effects once per Turn, so the 【Shaddoll Falco】 that was Sent to the Graveyard by 【Polymerization】 this time won't be Revived. However, the effect of 【Shaddoll Hedgehog】, which was also Sent to the Graveyard by 【Polymerization】, Activates,"
Hayato raised his Duel Disk and drew a Card that it automatically Searched, displaying it. "Add one 【Shaddoll】 Monster other than 【Shaddoll Hedgehog】 from the Deck to my Hand. The Monster I choose is this one, 【Shaddoll Lizard】."
【Hayato: 4000 LP, Hand 3】
However, compared to Hayato's resource management from his Deck, the Gravekeeper's Elder was more concerned about the Monster that appeared on Hayato's Field.
【El Shaddoll Midrash】【ATK 2200】

【Dragonmaid Laundry Dragon】【DEF 1600】
Looking at Little Blue in Defense Position, Hayato said seriously, "Little Blue, I love you so much! For you, I'm activating this Powerful Card!"
"Spell Card 【Shield Crush】! Activate by Targeting one Defense Position Monster on the Field! Destroy that Monster!"
Following the Card's Activation, a green laser shot at Little Blue on the Gravekeeper's Elder's Field. A Phantom Shield appeared on her body and was shattered. "Ugh!" Little Blue screamed and was mercilessly Destroyed and Sent to the Graveyard by Hayato.
