066. The Great Reversal
It is already the 20th turn after starting the duel.
We were staring at each other blankly at our swelled hand.
There are 3 cards each of Bulhoryeong and Gapyeong on the field, and the 2 empty spaces are filled with traps.
The monster zone was empty as it was either destroyed or excluded.
A perverted duel where no monsters exist.
Neither the crow nor Gooz existed anymore.
The only cards in the hand are to f*ck each other.
“Why are you playing an immovable duel?”
“I don’t think that’s what you, who laid down three fire symbols on the field, should say?”
“But they also confiscated three of my cards.”
We were fighting fiercely, blaming each other and telling the other to come in first.
But we know.
If either of you takes out a monster first, you never know what kind of disaster you might face.
Out of that fear, we were sending only the monsters we wanted from our hand to the graveyard.
“Ha… ! Let’s stop anymore. “I’m tired of wasting time on pointless duels like this.”
“Isn’t it shameless to start a fight there in the first place? “And that too when my life was running out.”
“My original purpose was not to defeat you. It was just buying time. “My goal has already been achieved.”
“It means you have a separate following.”
“It’s the same… …. Unfortunately, I don’t think we can see it that way.”
“What do you mean?”
“Our banned cards may seem crazy to you, but in reality, they are not.”
If you say banned cards aren’t crazy, then what is it?
If I wasn’t crazy, I couldn’t understand why everyone was so anxious to catch me.
“The essence of the card is to be used in duels. But what about banned cards? “Shouldn’t we live forever in a place like this where we can’t even see the sky without being able to actually use it?”
Forbidden cards were cursed and imprisoned in a concentration camp for being a negative influence on the world.
However, that was only the public’s perception.
If you look at it from their perspective, it is definitely pitiful.
“We didn’t want to be born this strong. So, some people were freed from the curse by the objects created by the Creator God, but the changed cards could no longer be considered the cards we knew.”
“I wanted to get out of the camp, even if it meant giving up my identity.”
“Okay. “They wanted to be used as cards.”
I had no idea that the erroneous cards had such a story.
Perhaps because the sorrowful voice of the change of mind was filled with resentment, I somehow became bitter.
“It hurts just to not be able to participate in duels because we were cursed by God, but the other cards were quarantined in the camp just because we were strong. “We have the same cards as them, even though we are just cards that we want to use in duels.”
“…… Do you feel resentful of the world?”
“Of course I feel resentful.”
“So you are trying to destroy this camp?”
“…… “It seems like you noticed.”
“In a vague way in our current conversation.”
At first, I wondered why Byeonsim was talking like an idiot.
But gradually, as I listened to her story, the outline became clearer.
Change of mind was not something I did at someone’s instigation.
It was not a concept of blackmail or backstabbing, but the wish for banned cards.
From Noble mtl dot com
I will destroy the prohibition camp and go out into the world.
And one day, the curse of the damned God will be broken.
Such will was conveyed in the voice of change of mind.
“I understand the situation well, but then why did you block my path?”
“You have just arrived. A being that has just arrived from outside can become a variable at any time. “We thought they might try to interfere with our plans, so we ruled them out in advance.”
“That’s a valid reason. Next, you said you knew the exit route to the camp. Was that a lie?”
“No. “It’s true.”
“Then why don’t you use that passage? “You wanted to get out of the camp.”
“Because that passage is a trap made by God.”
“A trap?”
“Yes, anyone who uses that passage will experience change. “The cards I mentioned before went there even after knowing the identity of the passage.”
In other words, if you use the passage, errata will automatically run.
Is that why I didn’t use it even though there was an exit clearly?
“You can’t get out of here unless it’s through that passage or mixed with other cards like the Jar of Greed. That is why we have been preparing banned cards for a long time. How to destroy this camp and get out.”
“So the plan is now in its final stages?”
Remorse nodded.
She interrupted me to block the variables and dragged out the time with a long-term duel.
Now, it meant that no matter what I did, I couldn’t stop it.
At least for me.
“It’s clumsy.”
“Which part are you talking about?”
“It is good to choose to exclude those who may become variables. But if you were planning on excluding them, you shouldn’t have missed at least one person.”
“I don’t really know what you’re talking about. “Do you mean that there are others who have entered this camp besides you?”
Change of Mind has never met Finesse yet.
Maybe that’s why he didn’t seem to know about the existence of Finesse.
‘But when you entered the camp, some banned cards would have confirmed the existence of Finesse, right?’
Is there no exchange between banned cards?
Seeing his change of mind and complete lack of knowledge about finesse made me tilt my head.
“I have a group of people. “She left to stop Mad’s plan, and several minutes have passed and she hasn’t returned.”
“Then…” ….”
“My group of friends are much stronger than me, so there is no way they would have been captured by Mad. “Maybe she didn’t hear his plan from him?”
“… ….”
A change of heart, nodding and frowning.
She seemed to be thinking to herself that if it were Mad, she might be like that.
His speaking style seems to fall into the light category.
“It’s just a guess on my part, but the fact that she still hasn’t returned makes me think she may have gone to stop that plan.”
“It’s okay. “Nothing will change just because your group went to a place where many banned cards are lurking around.”
“You are so ignoring my group. “Let me tell you something, you can never beat my group with the cards here.”
As an aside, as a duelist and streamer, I have a crack at the banned list.
Card World Cup, which is banned as broadcast material, Card World Cup, which can be released indefinitely, etc.
I know enough to know because I have talked about a lot of topics related to the ban on broadcasts.
After thinking about it, no card could beat Finesse.
There are cards that can give you an edge in attack power, but Finesse had an attack power increase effect.
Irrespective of monsters, traps, and magic, the effect becomes stronger when the effect null counter is placed.
You should not think that you cannot do anything alone.
On the contrary, it is finesse that shines even more in one-versus-many fights.
“Therefore, let us finish our fight quickly.”
“Didn’t the fight end in a draw?”
“Hey! Is there any way to give up midway in a duel? “We have to wait until each other’s lives reach 0.”
“…… I see.”
“Then let’s go. “I will summon ‘Fox Pack’ from my hand.”
“Summoning a monster card means that you want to win this turn.”
“Good. Then, I will activate the trap card I set, ‘Dead Man’s Temptation’!”
Dead’s Temptation can be activated except for monsters of level 6 or higher in your graveyard.
Take control of a level 3 or lower monster on the opponent’s field.
The level of the fox group is 2.
The cute foxes that appeared on my field naturally moved to her field.
“In that case, I will also activate the trap card I set!”
[Plunder of wealth]
General trap.
Once per turn, you can activate this by discarding 1 card from your hand. You can designate 1 monster on the opponent’s field and use it as a material for a merge / coincidence / stalemate / combination summon.
“Combined summon using a group of foxes on the opponent’s field as material! “Come out, you dirty mechanic!”
[Sneaky Mechanic]
Combined Material: 1 / Attribute: Earth / Race: Machine
Attack / Defense: 600 / 300
Summon conditions: 1 effect monster with an attack power of 1000 or less
Once per turn, this card can turn 1 random magic card in your hand into a quick-play magic.
Beast Maid, a mechanic also used in the duel with Ur.
However, at that time, I could not use the mechanic’s effect properly.
“Activate the effect of the mechanic! “I will turn one magic card in my hand into a quick play spell.”
When the mechanic lifted the spanner up, one of my cards flashed.
Okay, exactly the card I wanted became a quick play card.
“I don’t know what your intention is, but it’s useless. Activate the trap card ‘Inverted Space’!”
This is a card that you take to your field when a monster specially summoned this turn activates its effect.
Even the mechanic I summoned was taken away by the opponent.
But it doesn’t matter.
If I can’t have it, I have no choice but to destroy it!
“I will also activate the trap card!”
The card I laid down was ‘Shackles of Destruction.’
After designating and destroying a monster on the field, damage is inflicted to both players equal to the attack power of that monster.
“What are you planning? If you did something like that, only you… !”
“Let’s make a fun bet.”
“Bet?”
“Yes. You have the power to control everything, but you can’t touch the deck itself. So let’s make a bet, what card is on the top of my deck!”
I threw the magic card that had been given a quick attack by the mechanic onto the field.
[Duel of one-shot comeback]
Normal magic (gives quick attack)
You can send all cards in your hand and on the field to the graveyard and activate it.
Both players match the type of card (monster, magic, trap) on the top of the deck of the player who activated this effect.
Depending on the result of the guess, the following effects are activated to the player who activated it.
●Victory: Exchange your life with that of your opponent.
●Draw: Send all cards on the field to the graveyard.
●Defeat: Excluding all cards in your graveyard, you take damage equal to the number of cards sent x 300.
“Have you really gone crazy? “You can’t believe the outcome of a duel is decided by gambling!”
“This is also a duel. “There’s no law that says winning a duel must end with a monster attack, right?”
“…… “There is no room for excuses.”
“Would you like to guess?”
“I will designate it as a magic card.”
“Then I will use a monster card.”
With this, everything has been decided.
The fate of the game depends on which card is drawn from my deck next.
Nothing happens in a draw, but since I have no field or hand, I am defenseless, so it is essentially a loss.
If you lose, you die from effect damage without even needing to see the effects of the Shackles of Destruction.
On the other hand, in case of victory, Change of Mind’s life of 1900 and my life of 200 are reversed.
Afterwards, the mechanic is destroyed by the effect of the Shackles of Destruction, and she and I take 600 damage.
In other words, winning in gambling was my winning, and any other result was my losing.
“Draw!”
1 In 3 odds.
In a tense yet exhilarating moment, I drew a card.
The result is… ….
[The Grim Reaper, Gooz]
I was counting on you!!
Gouz’s curse still persisted.
