Chapter 161 Old Version of the Destruction Wheel, the Infamous Card
"This duel is to determine the order of the four participants!"
Uncle Isono raised his arm and pointed to the four adjustable seats behind him.
"These devices connect to the Duel Disk and are linked to LP on the screen, each with 4000 points."
"Once its health points decrease, the chair will rise, and if it ultimately fails, its chair will reach the exit of the teleportation well."
"The first two players whose health points reach zero will compete in the first round, and the remaining two will compete in the second round."
"Have all the contestants understood the rules?"
The four nodded, and the six-year-old boy sneered:
"Hehehe, a four-player free-for-all rule? Interesting."
"Well, there's no need to expend too much energy, since it's just about deciding the order of events, not the outcome."
As he was speaking, he suddenly had a seizure, and bloodshot veins appeared in his eyes.
"Hahahaha! You'll all be buried by God anyway! I can't wait to hear your screams!"
"You can search for that bastard!"
Jonouchi, seething with anger, yelled, "Yugi, Kagura, beat that guy to a pulp!"
"In that case, before we proceed, everyone needs to choose one card from their deck."
"In this competition, the order of duels is determined by the attack power of the chosen cards; the higher the attack power, the earlier the duel will take place."
"Spell and Trap Cards are considered monsters with 0 ATK."
"But please note that cards that have already been shown cannot be used in the following duel."
"Therefore, for the sake of the upcoming match, please do not show any important cards from your deck."
Kagura hesitated for a moment, then realized that the monster with the highest attack power in her deck only had 2800 points.
Wait, it seems like monsters from the Extra Deck also work?
"Alright, please show your cards."
Kiryu Kagura draws a forgotten card from the Extra Deck and reveals it.
Kagura Kiryuichi [Perfect Form Large Insect], Attack Power 3000
Seto Kaiba [Triceratops], Attack Power 2800
Dark Game 1 [Little Sprite], Attack Power 1300
Malik I [Melguido the Four-Faced Beast], Attack Power 1500
After checking the card, Isono announced loudly:
"The dueling order is: Kiryu Kagura, Seto Kaiba, Malik Ishtar, Yugi Muto!"
Dark Marik chuckled: "A powerful monster with an attack power of 3000, you really went all out, Kagura."
Kagura Kiryu ignored him; he couldn't summon the monster anyway, even though he had indeed received a Bug deck from the man in black a long, long time ago.
But that deck was too weak; it wasn't even as good as his Dark Magician deck.
The four people stepped onto the dueling platform and connected the dueling disk to the data cable.
The audience was a little nervous, but not that nervous.
It's simply a matter of who faces Malik; that's the main focus of this duel.
"Duel!" x4
【Kagura Kiryu, LP4000】
Seto Kaiba, LP4000
Malik, LP4000
【Dark Game, LP4000】
"My turn, draw a card."
Kagura drew a card and quickly devised a strategy.
That means killing Malik.
And then I just happened to steal his Winged Dragon of Ra!
"Normal Summon: [Dark Elf]!"
A dark-skinned female elf with purple hair and closed eyes stood on his field.
[Dark Elf, Level 4, Dark Attribute, Mage Race, Attack Power 2000, Effect Monster]
"Level 4, with an attack power of a whopping 2000?"
Kyoko covered her mouth in surprise.
Jonouchi, however, said knowingly, "There must be some side effects."
Jonouchi is right.
This is the monster that Yugi likes to use, a spirit with 2000 defense, a corrupted version of the blue-skinned [Holy Spirit].
Essentially, it simply reverses the attack and defense stats of the [Holy Elf].
As a rare 4-star monster with 2000 attack power in the early stages of Yu-Gi-Oh!, she was not taken seriously due to her high attack power.
The reason is that this thing requires you to spend 1000 health points to attack.
Often, if you pay out 1000 HP but don't get the expected return, it's a huge loss.
It is far inferior to the Goblin Assault Force of the same period, which has a high attack power of 2300. Its side effect is that after attacking, it will switch to defense position (0 attack power) and cannot change its position until the turn after next.
But 2000 attack power is enough to secure the first strike and control the field.
Kagura chuckled, already having devised an interesting tactic in mind.
"Next, I'll set four cards face down, and my turn ends!"
Kagura placed four cards into the Duel Disk from left to right, instantly filling his back row to the brim.
An aura of the underworld emanated from the area, instantly putting everyone on alert.
Kaiba's president placed his fingers on the Duel Disk, looking warily at Kagura:
"My turn, draw a card!"
Kagura Kiryu smiled and looked at Dark Marik:
"Sorry, I'm afraid you won't get to see your turn."
He clicked the Duel Disk: "Open the face-down card, Trap Card, [Destruction Wheel] (Old Version)!"
"Destroy one monster on the field, and both monsters take damage equal to that monster's ATK!"
"I destroy my [Dark Elf] on the field, dealing 2000 damage to all players!"
"What?!"
A string of grenades hung around the elf's neck, all the pins pulled, about to explode.
The [Destruction Wheel] can indeed deal damage to all players in a chaotic battle. This move was used by Manjoume at the Northern Academy.
At that time, using the [Destruction Wheel] plus the [Defense Wheel], I instantly killed several people.
"Next, activate the cover card! Counter-trap, [Hell's Cold Shot]!"
"When an effect that inflicts damage other than combat damage is activated, this card can be activated to transfer the damage you received to your opponent!"
Amidst the six-year-old's rapidly changing expression, Kagura smiled and pointed at him:
"Of course, that's you! Malik!"
Six-year-old child:
Counter Trap can only be chained with Counter Trap, and this card completely locks down all their moves.
Even if the card is printed on the spot, it won't work. In the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! card pool, there is only one card that can save the six-year-old from certain death.
That card is the Counterattack Trap, [Red Reboot].
This card can also be activated from the hand by paying out half of the Life Points.
This card can only be activated when the opponent activates a Trap Card. If the activation is negated, that card is set face-down.
After that, the opponent can set a trap card from their deck to their back row.
Once this card is activated, your opponent cannot activate any trap cards until the end of the turn.
However, [Red Reboot] requires half of your health to activate. Even if you were to throw away your pride and just print it out, it wouldn't work because paying half, which is 2000 health, would result in exactly 2000 damage from [Destruction Wheel].
Therefore, there is still no solution.
Everyone present fell silent.
Dark Game was so surprised he couldn't speak.
The six-year-old's expression became distorted, vaguely showing a tendency towards exaggerated facial expressions.
Seto Kaiba opened his eyes wide and murmured:
"Is this the absolutely unbeatable first-strike OTK tactic?"
Even after racking his brains, Seto Kaiba couldn't figure out how he would break free if the "snake from hell" was aimed at him.
A cold sweat broke out on his back, and the muscles on his face involuntarily twitched with tension and excitement.
Good heavens, how many more surprises are you going to give me?
Everyone was stunned by this simple yet oppressive combination.
This is the most infamous trap card in the early stages of Yu-Gi-Oh!: the power of "Destroy Wheel".
There is no solution other than the banned card list.
