“According to <Amazoness Willpower>’s effect, I can Special Summon one <Amazoness> monster from my Graveyard!”
“Come forth, <Amazoness Swordswoman>!”
A flash of light, and a tall, muscular woman with bronze skin appeared on the field, the legendary “Scam Lady”.
<Amazoness Swordswoman>, ATK 1500
“Eh?!” Elsie couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
“Where did this monster come from?”
Little Blue: “Abba abba.”
Seeing those confused yet intelligent blue eyes, Yugi instinctively pressed a hand to his forehead.
“It’s the Warrior-Type monster that was sent to the Graveyard by <Red-Eyes Fusion>!”
“Oh~~~”
Both of them let out a simultaneous “Ah, I see” sound, then followed it with an awkward but polite laugh: “Ahahahahaha———-!”
“Sigh———-!”
Hearing such innocent laughter, Yugi let out a weary sigh.
“Since a new monster has appeared, I could cancel my attack.
I choose to end the Battle Phase and enter Main Phase 2.”
The battle damage it would have caused would be taken by the opponent.
As a veteran Duelist, Yugi obviously wasn’t foolish enough to crash headlong into it.
“You…” Jounouchi Mai finally couldn’t help but speak.
“You knew the effect of my cards, didn’t you?”
“That’s obvious.” Yugi shrugged.
“You really are strong, not only experienced, but your mental fortitude is impressive…
Honestly, are you really a duel spirit?” Jounouchi Mai said with a bitter smile.
“That’s a question I asked you before,” Yugi replied helplessly.
“Back then, you confidently gave me the answer.
Now I can only say…
I think I am.”
“Looks like the only thing that can limit your strength is your cards.” Jounouchi Mai shook her head.
“Elsie doesn’t really like using Trap Cards, and over the years hasn’t collected many.
That’s why even cards like <Armory Call> had to be reluctantly included in your Deck.”
“No, no, no, I wasn’t forced at all.
I actually think it’s pretty useful.” Yugi said with a smile, even revealing the last card in his hand.
“See?
I also brought another copy here.”
“You…” Jounouchi Mai didn’t know what expression to make for a moment.
“Well, all you need to do is smile.” Yugi said, setting the revealed card face-down.
“My turn ends.”
“My turn…” Jounouchi Mai’s eyes sharpened.
Clearly, she was using her mental energy to communicate with her Deck.
“Draw!”
“I activate the Spell Card <Pot of Greed> to draw two more cards.”
“Hmm… Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
just drawing <Pot of Greed> in this desperate hand already shows she’s leagues ahead of Elsie.”
“Here we go!”
Seeing the drawn cards, Jounouchi Mai’s heart leapt.
She said seriously, “Yugi, I admit you’re strong.
Now, witness my true ace!”
“I activate the Equip Spell, <Amazoness Heirloom>!”
“Ah, don’t tell me your ace is just that Scam Lady.” Yugi groaned.
“Of course not!
I now banish this Equip Spell to Special Summon my real ace…”
Jounouchi Mai raised the card high.
“Warrior of the spiraling flames, embody the fire of the Phoenix within you, ascend as a god!”
“<Immortal Phoenix Gearfried>!”
Rising flames of crimson transformed into a phoenix shape, from which emerged a formidable warrior clad in silver armor.
It was still Gearfried, but with a new persona, his presence rivaled even <Black Luster Soldier>.
<Immortal Phoenix Gearfried>, ATK 3000
“Huh?!” Yugi’s eyes widened in surprise.
“I didn’t expect you to be a fellow NTR Duelist.
We’re of the same kind!”
“This guy…
he even knows the effect of my ace card.” Jounouchi Mai gritted her teeth.
“But I have no other choice now, I have to risk everything!”
“I enter the Battle Phase!
<Immortal Phoenix Gearfried>, attack <Black Luster Soldier>!
According to his effect, at the start of the Damage Step, I can equip one face-up monster on the field, other than this card, as an Equip Card with +500 ATK to myself!”
“How naive!
Haven’t you heard?
Only between Duelists of the same kind can there be true, fiery rivalry!” Yugi shouted.
“Before entering the Damage Step, I flip my set card and activate the Quick-Play Spell <Enemy Controller>!”
“If it’s switched to Defense Position, I won’t be able to equip…” Jounouchi Mai’s eyes narrowed.
“But it doesn’t matter, I still have this move!”
“I chain my effect!
I flip my set card and activate the Trap Card <Blast with Chain>, equipping it to <Immortal Phoenix Gearfried>!”
<Immortal Phoenix Gearfried> has an effect that, when a monster effect is activated, allows sending one face-up Equip Card on his field to the Graveyard to negate and destroy that effect.
As long as this card is equipped, if <Black Luster Soldier> tries to banish him next turn, the effect will be immediately nullified.
Jounouchi Mai’s strategy was flawless, but…
“I tribute my <Black Luster Soldier> to gain control of your <Immortal Phoenix Gearfried>!”
You like NTR, right?
Then two can play that game!
“This…”
Jounouchi Mai was stunned.
It was her turn, after all.
Even if Yugi took control of her NTR knight, so what?
“So, you’re hoping to gamble on your next draw?” Her gaze landed on Yugi’s now-empty hand.
“Not going to happen.
I end the Battle Phase and enter Main Phase 2, setting my last card face-down.”
She didn’t attack with <Amazoness Swordswoman> to take unnecessary damage, Jounouchi Mai already had the win in her grasp.
This turn, using the two cards drawn with <Pot of Greed>, she had one monster, <Immortal Phoenix Gearfried>, and one Trap Card ready to drop.
It was a Trap Card that could even be activated during the Draw Phase, with a simple effect: send the card your opponent draws directly to the Graveyard.
“Yugi, I admit you’re incredibly strong, but the winner of this duel is me!” Jounouchi Mai declared proudly.
In her view, any cards Yugi might draw to turn the game around next turn would be immediately sent to the Graveyard.
Her <Time Wizard> would also return, what was there to fear?
“Is that so?” Yugi smiled faintly.
“Don’t forget, I still have a set card.”
“Just one <Armory Call>?
Even if you equip <Immortal Phoenix Gearfried> with the strongest Equip Spell, so what?
It’s not your turn, he can’t attack!”
“If you’re so confident…” Yugi said with a smile, “then end your turn.”
“Exactly what I was thinking, my hand is empty too,” Jounouchi Mai replied with the same confident grin.
“My turn ends!”
“At this moment, I flip my set card and activate the Trap Card <Armory Call>!”
Yugi shouted, “I add this card to my hand and equip it to <Immortal Phoenix Gearfried>…
it’s <Vengeful Servant>!”
“What kind of card is that?” Jounouchi Mai was confused.
Not everyone was intimately familiar with these obscure cards.
“When the equipped monster’s control is transferred, <Vengeful Servant> deals damage to the controller of the equipped monster equal to that monster’s original ATK,” Yugi said with his trademark eerie grin.
“And the monster that was stolen by an opponent’s controller?
At the end of the turn, it returns to your field, right?”
“I told you, the rivalry is always fiercest among Duelists of the same kind!
As an NTR Blondie myself, I naturally know how to crush other NTRangers!”
“Wha…”
Jounouchi Mai felt everything go black.
What kind of cursed card was this?
My own monster returns to my field and suddenly she’s the NTR?
He was the one doing the NTR, why is she taking the damage?!
Is there justice?
Is there law?
But she had no options.
No resources in hand, on the field, or in the Graveyard, she could only watch helplessly as the turn ended.
“At this moment, <Vengeful Servant>’s effect activates, dealing 3000 points of effect damage to you!”
“Ahhhhhhh————!”
