Chapter 285 The Duel with Vector! (Combined Chapter)
"Huh? Why am I here?"
Kagura smiled, her eyes slowly opening to a slit, a hint of arrogance in her smile as if she were looking for trouble: "Don't you know best why I'm here, Rei-kun?"
"No, should I call you Vector?"
Vector, in his Zero form, was startled, his smile almost crumbling: "Hahahaha, what do you mean, Duel King? What do you mean by 'Vein' or 'underwear'? I was just passing by."
"Well, nothing much, I'm leaving now, hahaha, that was kind of scary."
Shinjutsu Zero turned around with a smirk, wanting to slip away quickly, only to see that a thin layer of black mist had quietly settled over the surrounding area.
These black mists grew increasingly dense, eventually forming an ultimate prison that no light waves or dust could penetrate.
Dark Game!
Bekuta was shocked again. Damn it, they came right off the bat and tried to kill him?
Kagura chuckled. Ever since he learned the Dark Game, his mammary glands had become clear, and anyone who tried to renege on their debts would be unable to escape the Dark Game's punishment.
He picked up the Duel Disk: "So, Rei Shingetsu, can you explain why you *coincidentally* got lost here?"
Rei's smile froze completely, her eyes darted around, and finally she sighed as if in despair.
He covered his face and suddenly burst into a loud, maniacal laugh, as if he had gone mad.
Kagura stood with her hands on her hips, watching him and laughing. "Laugh, laugh. A boy who laughs a lot is bound to have good luck."
Anyway, he won't be laughing for long.
Vector laughed for about twenty or thirty seconds. When he finally finished laughing, he lowered his hands from his face, lowered his head, and stared intently at Kagura: "As expected of the King of Duel, you discovered my true identity so quickly!"
"This is so boring. I actually wanted to use this identity to become friends with you and get to know you better."
'
That look in her eyes, like a venomous snake eyeing its prey, was extremely sinister, but Kagura felt no discomfort whatsoever.
Because he sometimes looks at others with that kind of gaze, it feels a bit childish.
Vector is at best a perverted pleasure-seeker, similar to Dark Marik. Kagura has experience dealing with this kind of two-dimensional character with a dual personality.
One of them is————
He picked up the Duel Disk, calmly assembled a deck from the cards he had on hand, and inserted it into the Duel Disk: "To deal with you, I'll use this deck."
Vector was visibly taken aback for a moment, then seemed to become extremely excited, letting out another loud "hehehe" laugh: "You're planning to fight me with a hastily cobbled-together deck? So arrogant! Be careful, you might get caught off guard, Duel King!"
"Alright, let's fight!"
Vector conjured a ball of light in his hands, then spread his arms wide, his fingers forming a barrier as if grasping something: "Varia, transform!!!"
His body began to change, transforming from an ordinary junior high school student into a humanoid creature that did not wear clothes.
Vector stared with those seemingly expressive eyes, spread its wings, and pointed five long, sharp fingers at Kagura: "Let's fight in my most authentic form, Duel King Kagura."
The two locked eyes and simultaneously raised their dueling disks.
"Duel!" x2
【Kagura Kiryu, LP4000】
[Bekuta, LP4000]
"My first move: draw a card!"
Kagura pulled out her randomly assembled mixed deck and drew cards in a very extravagant manner.
He glanced at the card he had drawn and chuckled, "What a coincidence, [Vekita], it seems your old subordinate is already eager to greet you."
Vector's emotions were all written in his eyes; at this moment, one eye was larger than the other, clearly showing his confusion: "What do you mean?"
Kagura smiled mysteriously and held up a card: "I activate the Spell Card, 'Unexpected Strike,' which can only be activated if I control no monsters. Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Normal Monster from my Deck!"
"I Special Summon [Jellyfish] from my Deck!"
A pale blue jellyfish appeared, fell to the ground with a splash, and began to thud.
[Jellyfish, Level 4, Water Attribute, Aquatic Type, Defense 1500, Normal Monster.]
Then Kagura held up another card: "When you control a WATER monster, Special Summon this card from your hand. Come, [Silent Sea Spike Jellyfish]!"
A long ribbon hung from its body, and it appeared like a dazzling jellyfish, sparkling like a crystal gem, before thrashing about on the ground without any sense of beauty.
[Silent Sea Tide Jellyfish, Level 4, Water Attribute, Aquatic, Defense 1300, Effect Monster.]
Upon seeing this, Vector's eyelids twitched: "This co-pilot, could it be—"
He recalled his subordinate, Uoshige Kaibu, whom he had eliminated through Kagura, who used a jellyfish deck.
"That's right!"
Kagura chuckled and held up her Duel Disk: "May I borrow your Overlay Network?"
"I'm stacking a level 4 [Jellyfish] and a level 4 [Silent Sea Claw Jellyfish]!"
"Summoning conditions: 2 Level 4 Water-type monsters, both of which must form a Supercell Network to Xyz Summon!"
Kagura raised her arm, and the two monsters transformed into two blue orbs of light that burrowed into the earth, spiraling and eventually colliding.
"Descend, Rank 4!"
"【No. 4: Venomous Stinging Cell, Invisible Jellyfish Monster】!"
A giant, blue-purple jellyfish, brandishing its spiked tentacles, emerged from the network of superimposed light on the ground.
Its eyes, the same color as its body, stared intently at Vector. Its body was divided into two sections, with a huge, suspended yellow sphere embedded between them.
[No. 4: Venomous Tentacles. Stealth Jellyfish, Rank 4, Water Attribute, Aquatic, Attack 1900, Xyz Monster]
[Excess Material: 2]
"What?! They actually used my overlay network?!"
Vector's eyes were bloodshot, and his grayish-white muscles bulged, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.
But a second later, he burst into laughter: "I never expected that the mighty Duel King would use Xyz Summoning, and with one of our [Numbered Cards] at that!"
Bekuta emphasized the words "number card" particularly heavily, as if he were hinting at something.
Kagura was speechless. He had watched the anime. It was just a fake number card. The number on the jellyfish was so small that it was almost invisible. It was something you made up.
Is it really necessary to be so smug? He's so happy just because he got a fake.
It's okay, I won't be happy for long. This card is a real card, one of the few real cards that is even more powerful than the anime version.
Kagura draws a card and places it face down: "I'm placing a card face down. End of turn!"
"My turn, Varia draws!"
666, you've already unlocked the god-tier cheat code so quickly!
Vector held up the card he had drawn: "I Normal Summon [Shadow Ghoul]!"
A hunched shadowy creature emerged from the darkness, draped in a dark blue cloak, with one extremely thick arm between its two sharp claws.
[Shadow Ghoul, Level 4, Dark Attribute, Demon Race, Attack Power 1800, Effect Monster.]
This is the original series from Vector, the "Shadow" series available on Xianyu (a Chinese online marketplace).
This card is also the key card for Vector to Special Summon three Level 4 monsters and Xyz Summon its own ace.
Kagura, naturally, couldn't let Vector have its way. She snapped her fingers and said, "At this moment, I activate the effect of [Invisible Jellyfish Monster] once per turn, during both players' main phases. Destroy 1 WATER monster on your opponent's field and inflict damage equal to half of that monster's ATK."
"A water-type monster?"
Vector laughed loudly: "Are you out of your mind? My Shadow Ghoul is a DARK monster, how could you possibly destroy it!"
Kagura looked at him with a smile: "Really? Then take a closer look."
"Take a closer look? So what—"
He looked down at the monster on his field and suddenly froze.
[Shadow Ghoul, Dark Attribute → Water Attribute]
"What?!"
Vector was dumbfounded. Kagura kindly reminded him, "This is the effect of [Invisible Jellyfish Monster]. As long as this card is on the field, all face-up monsters on the field become WATER monsters!"
Vector's eyes twitched: "How is this possible? I made this card myself—it doesn't have this effect!"
Kagura held up two fingers, making a fingertip universe gesture: "Ta-da! I made a little modification to it, are you surprised?"
Bekuta: ————! ?
Damn, you actually pulled this card-modifying trick! Did you reprint it in front of me? Despicable and vile!
Bei, the six-year-old successor, the creator of the famous "clang clang clang" scene in Yu-Gi-Oh! history, and the despicable and shameless drama queen, Kuta, expresses his condemnation.
Kagura pointed at the [Shadow Ogre]: "I will destroy this water-type monster and inflict damage equal to half of its attack power!"
The blue-purple jellyfish obeyed Kagura's orders faithfully, showing no mercy to its creator, and pierced the shadow monster's chest with the sharp spikes of its tentacles.
[Vecuta, LP4000→LP3100]
"Aaaaaaah! Duel King!!!"
Vector's voice sounded like he was in pain, but Kagura felt that he seemed to be enjoying it a little.
He winked and rolled his big eyes, "Hehehe, hahahaha, I didn't expect to be the one who got hurt first!"
"Things are getting more and more interesting, Mr. Kagura~"
Vector's voice held a hint of pleasure as he drew a card from his hand: "Then I'll use this card, a Spell Card, [Monster Resurrection], to revive the [Shadow Ogre] from the Graveyard!"
The light of rebirth illuminated the darkness, but also gave rise to a deep shadow; the Shadow Ghoul has descended once more.
[Shadow Ghoul, Attack Power 1800.]
"Next, I activate the effect of [Shadow Ghoul]! I reduce this card's ATK to 0, and Special Summon a [Shadow] monster with 0 ATK from my hand! (Original effect)"
[Shadow Ghoul, Attack Power 1800 → Attack Power 0] x2
After being made into a physical card, this effect is limited to once per turn, and only one can be summoned at a time.
"I Special Summon two [Shadow Will-O-Wisp] cards from my hand!"
Vector drew two cards from his hand and slammed them onto his peculiar dueling disk, instantly creating two black holes in the ground.
Two hidden, pitch-black heads peeked out, their scarlet eyes revealing danger, and above them, two ghostly blue flames illuminated the darkness.
[Shadow Will-o'-the-Wisp, Level 1, Dark Attribute, Fiend Race, Attack 0, Effect Monster.]
"When 【Shadow Will-O-Wisp】is Normal or Special Summoned, you can activate this effect by targeting 1 【Shadow】monster from your field or Graveyard, other than this card!"
"This card's Level becomes the same as the selected monster's Level! I chose [Shadow Ghoul], and both of these cards' Levels become 4!"
[Shadow Will-o'-the-Wisp, Level 1 → Level 4] x2
"There are three level 4 monsters coming!"
Kagura's lips curled up in anticipation, a stark contrast to the nervous expression on the blonde, blue-eyed girl beside her.
"Hahaha, I'm stacking a level 4 [Shadow Ghoul] and two [Shadow Will-o'-the-Wisps] on top of each other!"
Vector extended five sharp fingers: "Use three monsters to form a superimposed network, Xyz Summon!"
"Appear! [NO.104]!"
"Let those filthy creatures all bow down before your holy and dazzling glory!"
"【Masked Dancer: Flashy Flash】!"
With enormous demonic wings unfurled behind him, and crimson eyes looking down on everything before him, his entire body adorned in holy white and gold, he appeared like a moving statue.
Its body spun at high speed, and the three golden rings in its hands danced with great force. Three orbs of light formed from super-abundant materials swirled around it, making it seem like a cruel and demonic dancer.
[No. 104: Masked Madoka Flash, Rank 4, Light Attribute, Spellcaster Type, ATK 2700, Xyz Monster.]
"Oh? That's quite an imposing presence. So this is the number 100? It looks pretty impressive."
Vector raised an eyebrow: "You actually know about numbers over 100?"
"Heh, whatever, it was probably Uoshige Kaibu who told you this before he died."
He held out his hand: "I activate the effect of [No. 104: Masked Madoka. Flash]!"
"Once per turn, during your Main Phase, send the top card of your deck to the Graveyard!"
In the original work, when this effect is activated, this card cannot attack during the turn.
However, the card "Vekita" appears to be a physical card and has no attack restrictions.
The card at the top of Kagura's deck floated out and automatically went to the graveyard.
The people of Bekuta were quite kind; they even helped build the grave.
"Entering battle phase!"
Vector shouted, "[Masked Dancer. Flash], attack [Invisible Jellyfish Monster]!"
【Masked Dancer. Flash】swung a golden circle at high speed towards 【Invisible Jellyfish Monster】, the vast difference in attack power causing the giant jellyfish to instantly turn into specks of light.
[Kagura Kiryu, LP4000→LP3200]
"This moment!"
Kagura waved her arm: "I activate the effect of [No.4: Venomous Stinging Cell. Invisible Jellyfish Monster]!"
"If this Xyz Summoned card is destroyed, you can activate this effect: Special Summon up to the number of Xyz Materials this card contains from your Extra Deck!"
"【Invisible Jellyfish】has 2 Xyz Materials, so I can Special Summon two 【Invisible Jellyfish Disc Larva】!"
"Hahaha, you've been tricked!"
Vector laughed smugly: "Do you think I don't know the effects of the cards I created?"
"I activate the effect of [No. 104: Masked Madancer. Flash]!"
