Chapter 1229: Endless Blanket!
[Invoked Raidjin, ATK 2200]
The elegant summoner disappeared from the field, replaced by a heavily armored warrior holding a blade wrapped in lightning and a staff with flashing light on his shoulder.
That was the staff of Aleister the Invoker. In order to ensure his absolute control over the Invokeds, Aleister would insert his staff into all the Invokeds he summoned.
"Then activate the second effect of the ‘Invocation' in the graveyard!
If this card is in my GY: I can target 1 of my banished ‘Aleister the Invoker', shuffle this card into the Deck, and add that monster to my hand."
The Invocation was shuffled back to the deck, and Aleister once again returned to Mr. T's hand.
This was the terrifying part of this "Invocation".
When Aleister was summoned to the field, you could retrieve the Invocation from the deck, and then use the Invocation to fuse a powerful Invoked using Aleister on the field and any monster in the graveyard as materials.
Then the Invocation was shuffled back to the deck through its own effect, and Aleister returned to the hand. In the next round, you could summon Aleister again, and if Aleister was successfully summoned, you could retrieve the Invocation from the deck again.
By the way, it didn’t matter if you didn’t have materials in your graveyard that could be used for fusion. Because "Invocation" could even forcibly requisition monsters in the opponent's graveyard as fusion materials.The simple and crude summoning method and strong endurance make the Aleister system a powerful existence that cannot be ignored in the real card environment since its launch.
Mr. T changed the subject.
"The Field Spell ‘Palace of the Elemental Lords' has another effect." Mr. T said, "All monsters I control gain ATK/DEF equal to the number of different Attributes in my GY x 200.
Now, I have ‘Elementsaber Lapauila' in my graveyard, so the attack power of all my monsters increases by 200."
[Invoked Raidjin, ATK 2200 → ATK 2400]
[Elementsaber Molehu, ATK 1900 → ATK 2100]
"Battle!" Mr. T shouted, "Invoked Raidjin, attack the ‘Dark Magician' in face-down defense!"
The face-down Dark Magician had 2100 DEF and could not resist Raidjin. The set card was split in two at the flash of the sword, and the Dark Magician was shattered by the slash of lightning.
"Elementsaber Molehu, attack directly!"
Molehu flew out, and the dark sword energy slashed through Yuei Vu. The domineering sword energy penetrated his body, and the pain was like his body being torn apart.
[Yuei Vu, LP 4000 → LP 1900]
"Set two cards, I end my turn."
Mr. T sneered.
"It looks like your situation is a little bad, Mr. Yuei Vu." He said sarcastically, "If you are not careful, I might kill you instantly."
Yuei Vu tidied up his clothes that were messed up by the impact of the sword slash and moved his joints.
"I see, it's Aleister… I admit that you did surprise me a little."
After a pause, he narrowed his eyes.
"But that's about it."
"Don't brag too much." Mr. T chuckled, "I don't know what kind of tactics you have, but with my formation, can you really deploy it smoothly?"
"Who knows?"
Yuei Vu smiled, and then said seriously: "My turn, draw!"
"The moment you enter the Standby Phase," Mr. T snapped his fingers, "Open the set card: Trap Card – Back to the Front! Special summon a monster from my graveyard in defense position!
I special summon ‘Elementsaber Lapauila' in the graveyard!"
[Elementsaber Lapauila, DEF 2100]
Looking at the reappearing Lapauila, Yuei Vu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Can you negate Spells and Traps again?"
"Exactly."
Mr. T curled his lips and arrogantly made a "please" gesture.
Yuei Vu now really understood where this guy's confidence came from. It seemed that after such a long period of recuperation, Mr. T who appeared in front of Yuei Vu was finally not the cannon fodder in the original work, but a strong man who was worthy of being a sub-BOSS.
Although Mr. T did not call out some big monsters with extremely complicated summoning steps, high attack power, and fancy effects like the traditional BOSS of Yu-Gi-Oh, this formation should not be underestimated.
Elementsaber Molehu, during the opponent's turn, has one chance to turn the monster into face-down defense position, equivalent to a "Book of Moon", which was a very powerful interruption and interference ability.
Invoked Raidjin also had one chance to turn the monster into face-down defense position, which was another "Book of Moon".
Elementsaber Lapauila had one chance to negate the activation and destroy a S/T card. Needless to say, it was also a powerful interference.
Compared to some other big monsters that looked fancy but were actually useless, this should be said to be a powerful formation from the perspective of players.
"First, the effect of ‘High Priestess of Prophecy' in the hand." Yuei Vu said, "By revealing three ‘Spellbook' Spells in the hand, this card can be directly special summoned."
In the last turn, a large number of Spellbooks were searched in one go, so this was the thing that Yuei Vu had the most in his hand now. He showed three Spellbooks, and then immediately slapped the red-haired and long-legged magic lady onto the field.
[High Priestess of Prophecy, ATK 2500]
"High Priestess of Prophecy… I remember that her effect is to destroy any card by banishing a ‘Spellbook'?" Mr. T chuckled, "What a dangerous little magician girl. I can't let you get it so easily."
He became serious and raised his arm.
"At this moment, the effect of ‘Elementsaber Molehu' is activated! Once per turn, during either player's turn, send 1 ‘Elementsaber' monster from my hand to the Graveyard, then target 1 face-up monster on the field; change it to face-down Defense Position!
And at this moment, use the effect of the Field Spell ‘Palace of the Elemental Lords'! When activating the effect of Elementsaber, you can discard ‘Elementsaber' from your deck as a price."
Mr. T took a card from his deck and sent it to the graveyard.
"Change ‘High Priestess of Prophecy' to face-down Defense Position!"
If it was flipped to face-down, the High Priestess of Prophecy's card-bombing ability could not be activated.
"Then at this moment, activate the Quick-Play Spell ‘Spellbook of Fate' from my hand!" Yuei Vu waved his hand, "If I control a Spellcaster monster: I can banish up to 3 ‘Spellbook' Spells from my GY; apply the effect, depending on the number of Spells banished for this card's activation!"
Mr. T frowned slightly: "The second Spellbook of Fate retrieved by ‘Spellbook of Judgment' last turn?"
"That's right." Yuei Vu said, "According to this effect, I banish ‘Spellbook of Fate', ‘Spellbook of Judgment', and the ‘Spellbook of Wisdom' discarded at the end of the last turn from the game!
Choose the ‘Invoked Raidjin' on your field and remove it from the game!"
"That won't work." Mr. T shouted, "The effect of ‘Elementsaber Lapauila'! Once per turn, when a Spell/Trap Card is activated, I can send 1 ‘Elementsaber' monster from my hand to the GY; negate the activation and destroy it."
Mr. T took a card from his hand and discarded it into the graveyard.
"Discard ‘Elementsaber Malo', negate the activation and destroy ‘Spellbook of Fate'!"
The trump card of the Spellbook system, the "Spellbook of Fate" which was always successful, was also negated, and could only leave with hatred. Then the effect of Molehu was processed, and the dark sword energy made it impossible for the powerful wizard High Priestess of Prophecy to use her skills. Before she could gain a firm foothold, she could only be blocked helplessly.
"See?" Mr. T pushed his sunglasses again, "Like I just said, you have no chance."
