"Upon entering the battle phase, I declare an attack using the Kusha-Ursa-Fenrir Wolf. At this time, the Kusha-Ursa-Fenrir Wolf's effect can be activated once per turn by targeting 1 face-up card on your opponent's field. That card is then banished face-down."
"Besides being triggered by the opponent, can Fenrir Wolf also initiate an attack declaration on its own during its battle phase?"
Upon seeing You Ye directly enter the battle stage, Sima Jie, who originally thought everything was under his control, immediately frowned.
According to his intelligence, the effects of the Kusha Wrathful Clan are only triggered by the opponent activating their own effects; this is the first time he has encountered something like this being triggered by battle rank.
He was feeling a bit uncomfortable now. The target of his night-time adventure was definitely the main family's perpetual trap in the backcourt, which immediately disrupted his original plan.
Just as he expected, Youye made the announcement.
"The effect of Fenrir the Furious Wolf of the Kusha clan targets your Continuous Trap Ninja Dance of Falling Leaves and banishes it face-down!"
After speaking, You Ye paused slightly, looked at the monster on the field, and smiled.
"Your Ninja Art: Falling Leaf Dance's first effect has a follow-up, right? 'When this card leaves the field, the monster it belongs to is sent to the Graveyard.'"
"Yes!"
Sima Jie's expression darkened. He didn't deny it, mainly because denying it would be useless; even if he denied it, the duel rules would still have an effect.
"Fenrir Wolf, send them away!" Youye gave the order.
The moment You Ye's voice fell, Fenrir threw out his twin axes, which flew onto Sima Jie's Ninja Art: Falling Leaves Dance, taking away the perpetual trap.
Then, due to the effect of the Continuous Trap, the Heavy Ninja - Magneton is sent to the Graveyard.
"Because your monster leaves the field, Fenrir Wolf's attack is redirected, so I choose to attack your [Gun Ninja - Firelight]!"
As Yuya declared his attack, Fenrir charged out and cleaved the Gun Ninja - Firelight, which was displayed on the inside, in two with a single axe strike.
Seeing his gun-wielding ninja, Firelight, split in two, Sima Jie immediately spoke up.
"The effect of Gun Ninja - Firelight can only be activated when this card is face down. Special Summon 1 Ninja Field monster from your hand/Graveyard, except Gun Ninja - Firelight, in face-down Defense Position."
"I will Special Summon the Heavy Ninja - Magneton in face-down Defense Position".
"You forgot the effect. Because of Fenrir's attack, I Special Summoned Heavy Ninja - Magneton. Then its DEF is 2900, and Raikou's ATK is 2700. Attacking will only result in a counterattack!"
"Because you can't defeat the Heavy Ninja - Magnet, in my next turn I will directly create a resource gap, even if you are in the second main stage, making Shangri-La Cocoon and your Kusharu Wrathful Clan's eldest brother, it won't matter!"
Looking at the scene before him, Sima Jie's face was full of smiles.
Because he persisted, victory was in sight!
"Really? Then I'll proceed to main phase two."
Yu Ye did not continue his attack, just as he said, the Thunder God could not kill the Heavy Ninja - Magnet Old Man.
But how could he possibly make such a mistake by misremembering the monster's effects?
Obviously, that's impossible!
"The effect of the Kusha-Rage Unicorn in my hand allows me to Special Summon a Kusha-Rage Unicorn from my hand, which is restricted to summoning only Xyz Monsters from the Extra Deck. Immediately following the effect of the Kusha-Rage Unicorn, I banish a Kusha-Rage Unicorn from my Deck and change its Level to 7."
"I will Xyz Summon Fenrir Wolf, Raikou, and Leshardt, and then summon Rank 7 [Dragon Slayer Dark Armor]."
At Youye's command, a giant dragon with a sharp, blade-like body and an entirely black body descended from the darkness onto his field.
[Slay the Dragon Dark Armed Forces]
[Dragon/Xyz/Effect/Dark/Rank 7]
ATK: 2800; DEF: 1000
Upon seeing this Tier 7 Dark Armored Dragon Slayer, Sima Jie frowned.
As one of the best duelists in the Heavenly Rank, I naturally know about this card and that it is a very powerful Rank 7 monster that often appears in the Armed Dragon field.
The problem isn't in the Armed Dragon field; the problem is, it appears here.
In that instant, he understood why Youye, despite being a G, was determined to make him a reality.
Youye's goal was clear: to exchange three cards for three, allowing him to draw three cards and limiting his next turn's development.
As for why the two cards on the field were traded three for three, it's because he still had a graveyard. You Ye clearly knew this, which is why he fought him like this.
The problem is, now that he knows, he can only passively accept it.
"It's a real pity. If you had Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, Graveyard Finger or Sword Finger, I would have been close to losing. Right now, the advantage is still in my hands."
Sima Jie spoke slowly.
Yes, through G, he just drew three cards, including one designated draw, and Yuya did indeed clear out his territory.
But he still has advantages.
"Whether it has an advantage or not is still unknown."
Upon hearing this, You Ye simply smiled calmly and slowly replied. After speaking, he looked at the Dark Armor of the Dragon Slayer on the field and began to activate its effects.
"I can activate the effect of 'Dark Armed Dragon Slayer' to detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 card on your opponent's field; destroy that card. After that, banish 1 card from your Graveyard. After this effect is activated, this card cannot attack until the end of this turn."
"I remove Fenrir the Kusha-no-Ku, which was used as an Xyz Material, and then target your Heavy Ninja - Magneton!"
Seeing You Ye bomb the card, Sima Jie followed up with a chain reaction.
"My C2 chain Graveyard Ninja Gunfire - Firelight effect: Card name once per turn, while this card is in the Graveyard, you can activate this effect only when your opponent activates an effect targeting 1 Ninja card you control or 1 face-down Defense Position monster. Special Summon this card face-down Defense Position, and return that targeted card to its owner's hand."
"I activate this skill targeting my face-down Heavy Ninja - Magneton!"
Effects that occur later but are dealt with earlier: The effect of c2 Gun Ninja - Firelight returns Heavy Ninja - Magneton to the hand, and the face-down Defense Position card in the Graveyard is transferred to the field; the effect of c1 Dragon Slayer Dark Armament is used without being activated.
After accepting the results, Youye spoke again.
"I will activate the effect of Dragon Slayer Dark Armament again, and use Rashard as an Xyz Material to destroy your face-down Gun Ninja - Firelight."
After saying that, he looked at the card that Sima Jie had been keeping face down in the back of the court.
Now, Sima Jie's only obstacle, besides the hand trap, is him.
Sima Jie didn't chain, and the Ninja Gun - Fire Destroyer in the back defense position was directly pierced by the blade on the Dark Armor of the Dragon Slayer, destroying it and sending it to the Graveyard. Then, the follow-up effect of the Dark Armor of the Dragon Slayer banished the G from the Night Graveyard.
"I remove the third Xyz Material Fenrir Wolf from the Dark Armament of the Dragon Slayer, and then target your face-down cards in the back row."
Sima Jie still had no chain, so the trap he set was destroyed by the blade of the Dark Armored Dragon Slayer, and then the graveyard's Rashard was excluded.
At that moment, Yuya specified what card it was: Named Annihilation!
"Are you protecting G?! After G was defeated, you were planning to start with a T3 play (the third round)?"
Yu Ye was surprised to see the names of those to be wiped out in the cemetery.
"Yes."
The cards were all destroyed, and Sima Jie simply smiled slightly, acknowledging what You Ye had said.
"Excellent, let him eat G, so that his G can pass." You Ye silently gave a thumbs up.
He had considered whether it was a card from the same family or a functional card, but he hadn't really thought of it.
After all, if you can set up the board in your own turn, who wants to wait until T3?
"Thank you for the compliment. Is this the end of the round?"
Sima Jie took away a smile, and smelled it.
"I'm putting a card down. End of turn." After looking at the cards, Youye made the gesture and announced the end of the turn.
"It's my turn to draw cards," Sima Jie said.
Looking at my hand, I felt a little disappointed.
Apart from the one card that was drawn from the designated deck, the hand wasn't bad, but it wasn't particularly good either.
It's just that this round is going to be more difficult.
"I activate the Spell Card [Lightning Strike] to destroy all the monsters on your field."
Once the first major stage was reached, Sima Jie immediately spoke.
You Ye glanced at it and wasn't surprised at all. The fact that the information about the Jushe's lack of resistance had already been exposed meant that these Heavenly-level duelists would definitely be prepared.
They've already made preparations, so it's not surprising that this happened.
Furthermore, this also gives him another chance, an opportunity to develop his abilities.
The presence of two permanent face-down cards, namely Dragon Slayer Dark Armament, on the field undoubtedly hindered his development.
As for finishing him off? Putting aside the fact that he has resistance, and considering Sima Jie's style, it's obvious that he's going to drag things out and fight for resources. Therefore, unless it's 100% certain, the ninja's ability to finish him off is not enough!
Therefore, his face actually showed the effect.
As he pondered, countless bolts of lightning struck his field from the sky.
In an instant, his Dragon Slayer Dark Armor, Unicorn in defense position on the back, and Psychic Beast were destroyed and sent to the Graveyard.
"I activate the Normal Spell Card 'Ninja Scroll of the Strange Tales' from my hand once per turn. If there are cards on your opponent's field, I can select up to 1 'Ninja Spell/Trap Card' other than 'Ninja Scroll of the Strange Tales' and Set it on my field (you can only Set 1 card from your Deck or Graveyard)."
"I Special Summon Ninja Gunner - Firelight from the Graveyard to the field in face-down position, and then set the Continuous Trap [Ninja Clone Technique] in the Spell & Trap Zone."
"Then cover one, and the round ends." Sima Jie said, completing the two steps to announce the end of the round.
"My turn, draw a card," Yu Ye said.
Looking at the scene before him, Youye did not relax, because the monsters in the graveyard were about to interact and continue.
"I activate the effect of Kusha-Garuda's Dwelling Place to Special Summon a Kusha-Garuda monster from the banished or Graveyard."
