The Deadly Trap

[Blue-Eyes White Dragon, ATK 3000]

"Hey, it's finally here." Officer Fujino said from the side, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon, a legendary dragon that only Kaiba Seto owns in the world."

However, he continued to sneer: "However, the duel in our Department D has already evolved further. Even the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon is powerless to resist us. Egawa, take this opportunity to let President Kaiba have a good experience!"

"Go, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Kaiba yelled loudly, "Use the absolute power of light to crush that pretender hiding in the sea!"

The white dragon opened its mouth and swung its long neck. During its charging period, it seemed that all the floating particles in the air were invisibly drawn and gathered into its mouth in the form of a vortex of light.

Burst Stream of Destruction!

The water surface was broken, and white waves surged everywhere. The huge, pitch-black giant iron and steel shadow finally had no way to hide under the destructive white light. It rose from the sea like a mountain, and tons of water crashed down against its body.

It was a mobile weapon in the shape of a whale, even larger than the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. It carried a steel fortress on its back, and it was full of missile launch ports and thick black gun barrels.

At this moment, this mysterious monster lurking in the depths of the sea finally showed its true appearance.

[Citadel Whale, ATK 2350]

This looked like a deep-sea submarine, but it really fit the style of the army.

"Blue-Eyes, smash it for me!" Kaiba shouted.

But at this moment, Egawa waved his hand, and turned over the first covered card: "Open the set card! Continuous Trap – Sea Stealth Attack!"

Kaiba raised his eyebrows: "Is it the trap retrieved by the effect of 'Citadel Whale' in the first turn?"

"Sea Stealth Attack's effect! While 'Umi' is on the field, at the start of the Damage Step, if my WATER monster whose original Level is 5 or higher battles an opponent's monster: Destroy that opponent's monster!"

"What!?" Kaiba's expression changed slightly.

"Why is this!?" Mokuba was also shocked, "And it's a Continuous Trap… Doesn't it mean that the Level 7 Citadel Whale can never be defeated!?"

If you attack with a monster, it will be destroyed directly, and if you use the card effect, it will be negated by the ability of the Citadel Whale…

Is it invincible! ?

"Damn, what a convenient effect." Kaiba snorted coldly, but then played another card, "Quick-Play Spell – Forbidden Dress!

Until the end of this turn, Blue-Eyes White Dragon's attack power will decrease by 600 points, but it cannot be targeted or destroyed by other card effects! "

[Blue-Eyes White Dragon, ATK 3000 → ATK 2400]

"Awesome!" Mokuba started again, "Even if it drops by 600, Blue-Eyes White Dragon's attack power is still 50 points higher than Citadel Whale! If it can't be destroyed by card effect, it can ignore the effect of Sea Stealth Attack!"

"Oh? You still have such a trick." Fujino nodded slightly, still smiling confidently, "But…"

Egawa waved his arm, and continued to shout: "Another effect of Sea Stealth Attack is activated!"

"Nani?" Kaiba was startled again, "There is a second effect?"

"While 'Umi' is on the field, I can banish 1 WATER monster I control until the End Phase." Egawa said, "During this turn, face-up Spells/Traps I control cannot be destroyed by the opponent's card effects."

The trap was activated, and the water flow turned into a water column and rose up from the ground, wrapping the huge body of the Citadel Whale, and it disappeared from the field with a burst of light blue light.

"Does it even have the ability to protect Spells and Traps?" Mokuba clenched his fists.

Kaiba frowned.

He removed his own monsters from the game… Wouldn't it make his field empty?

What is the purpose?

Could it be that he wanted to keep the trump card monster even at the expense of a large amount of life points?

But no matter what the idea was, Seto Kaiba didn't have the word "retreat" in his dictionary!

"Then the attack continues!" Kaiba shouted, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon, attack the player directly!"

The Battle Replay occurred, and the white dragon resumed its attack. Boundless hot white light erupted from the dragon's mouth, sweeping toward Egawa's face!

Fujino hummed in a low voice: "It's useless."

Sure enough, Egawa continued to wave his arms: "Open the set card! Continuous Trap – Tornado Wall!"

Azure blue water columns rise from the ground, standing one after another in front of Egawa, as if they have built an insurmountable wall of water flow. The white dragon's light beam bombarded the wall in a mighty way, splashing water and evaporating the water body, but it failed to penetrate this line of defense and touch Egawa himself.

"The effect of the Tornado Wall." Egawa said calmly, "While 'Umi' is face-up on the field, all direct attacks of the opponent's monster will be negated." (Manga effect)

"Cut, there are a lot of little tricks." Kaiba gritted his teeth.

This "Tornado Wall" was not a new card. This card was used by Kajigi Yuta when he fought against Jonouchi in Battle City.

The effect of "negate direct attack" did not target, so even with the protection of the "Forbidden Dress", the Blue-Eyes White Dragon was unable to penetrate this barrier.

In fact, the real-life effect of "Tornado Wall" should be considered to be enhanced compared with the manga effect. The manga effect could only resist direct attacks, while the real-life effect made all Battle Damage become 0.

Of course, as far as the current situation was concerned, it seems that there is not much difference.

"Then Set two cards, I end my turn," Kaiba said.

"At the end of the turn, the effect of 'Sea Stealth Attack' is activated." Egawa said, "The banished 'Citadel Whale' returns to the field."

The water body on the sea surface churned, and a burst of blue light flickered, causing violent movements. The huge black fortress returned to the site, and dived back into the water with a rumbling roar, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Kaiba also said: "At the End Phase, Blue-Eyes White Dragon's attack power will return to normal."

[Blue-Eyes White Dragon, ATK 2400 → ATK 3000]

Although he still showed a disdainful expression on the surface, Kaiba has not underestimated this special duelist from Department D.

There was no doubt that the strength of this so-called elite was genuine, even in the world's dueling world, he was also the top batch of strongmen.

But it seemed that there was nothing particularly surprising.

After all, they are duelists cultivated by the military with all their resources, and the cards they use are also developed with the best technology. It seems natural to train duelists with the resource standards of developing secret weapons.

"Interesting, indeed interesting." Instead of being annoyed, Kaiba raised a corner of his mouth and became a little interested.

If it weren't for this kind of duel, there would be no point in it!

"My turn." Egawa drew a card, and then directly showed the drawn card, "Summon the 'Amphibious Bugroth MK-3'!"

A combat machine produced by the army rose from the sea surface, carrying two mines marked with "MK-3", floating above the sea surface, and the tail engine was humming.

[Amphibious Bugroth MK-3, ATK 1500]

Egawa didn't hide his monsters on the bottom of the sea this time, probably because he didn't think it was necessary. With a big wave of his hand, he directly entered the Battle Phase: "First of all, Citadel Whale! Attack the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

[Citadel Whale, ATK 2350]

[Blue-Eyes White Dragon, ATK 3000]

Actively attacking monsters with higher attack power seemed stupid, but everyone knows what will happen next.

The instant the battle between the Level 7 Citadel Whale and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon occurs, the effect of the Sea Stealth Attack would be triggered.

If the white dragon was destroyed, the president would become undefended.

"Brother!" Mokuba became anxious.

"Hmph, I figured out this kind of trick a long time ago!" Kaiba shouted, "Open the set card! Trap card – Lumenize! When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Target the attacking monster; negate the attack.

Then 1 face-up LIGHT monster I control gains ATK equal to that target's ATK, until my next End Phase! "

"Beautiful!" Mokuba was pleasantly surprised, "If this move is passed, not only will the damage be avoided, but Blue-Eyes White Dragon's attack power will also increase to 5350 in one go! Next turn, if it attacks the 'Amphibious Bugroth MK-3', it will be able to deal super high damage of 3850 points, reduce the opponent's LP to a mere 150…"

Just one card reversed the situation, as expected of my brother!

"Then the effect of 'Citadel Whale' is activated." Egawa raised his palm, "Once per turn, during either player's turn, when the opponent activates a card or effect that targets 1 WATER monster I control, I can negate the activation, and destroy that card!"

The ability of the Citadel Whale was activated, the two gun barrels on the fortress fell, and the artillery fire pierced through the air, involuntarily piercing through the photon barrier, and blasting the reversed trap on Kaiba's field to pieces.

"The battle continues! use the Citadel Whale to attack the Blue-Eyes White Dragon." Egawa shouted, "Then at the moment of the battle, the effect of Sea Stealth Attack will activate! The opponent's monster that battles with my WATER monster whose original Level is 5 or higher will be directly destroyed before damage calculation!"

Fujino looked at Kaiba, and said to himself: "Seto Kaiba…is there only this level after all…"

However, at this moment when White Bride was about to be destroyed and all defenses seemed to collapse, Kaiba actually… laughed?

"Hahahahahahaha!!!"

Without any warning, he suddenly raised his head and laughed, which made Fujino stunned for a moment.

What is he laughing at?

Are you so happy to lose?

"Hey, you must think that I am helpless, right?" Kaiba crossed his arms and sneered, "But in fact, you are the one who stepped into the trap!

Take a good look, at what is a truly powerful duelist, leading duels in areas beyond your reach!

Open the set card: Trap Card – Witch's Strike! "

The cover card in front of the Kaiba is turned over, and the overwhelming and irresistible power is released from the trap card!

"The Witch's Strike can only be activated when the opponent negates the Normal or Special Summon of a monster(s) or the activation of a card or effect!"

Harsh activation conditions must be accompanied by powerful effects, and this card was especially so!

Kaiba sneered: "When the Witch's Strike is successfully activated, all cards your opponent controls and in their hand will be destroyed!"

Fujino: "Nani!!??"
