"I activate my Set Card, the Quick-Play Spell Card Forbidden Lance!" Responding to Goblin Attack Force's Attack, Rishid activated the Set Card in his Backrow. "I target Goblin Attack Force and decrease its ATK by 800 points."
"Also, until the end of the turn, it will not be affected by other Spell/Trap Card Effects!"
The Goblin Attack Force on Hayato's Field had just equipped Sword of Dragon's Soul to increase their ATK, but just as they were about to Attack Rishid, who had no Monsters on his Field, the Sword of Dragon's Soul they held overhead suddenly transformed into a heavy Holy Lance, causing them to stumble.
[Goblin Attack Force] [ATK1000→1700→200]
However, one Goblin could still barely wield the Forbidden Lance, dragging it with difficulty to Rishid's front, poking him with the butt of the lance, and even saying smugly, "Hmph, who says you can't stab someone without a spearhead?"
[Rishid: 4000→3800LP]
"Its ATK was decreased to only 200 points; the Damage caused is negligible."
Hayato heard Rishid's words and smiled. "But I never intended to rely on these Weak Monsters to reduce your Life Points, did I?"
"For them, just hitting you is a success. When Goblin Attack Force inflicts Damage to you, I can draw one Card from my Deck."
Hayato drew a Card, then activated a Card. "Regardless of whether Goblin Attack Force inflicts Damage, at the end of the Battle Phase it attacked in, the Goblins' Battle Will will disappear, and they will change to Defense Position."
"However, before that, I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card Star Changer and the Quick-Play Spell Card Metamorphosis. The Effect of the former is to increase or decrease the Level of Goblin Attack Force on my Field by 1 Star. I choose to change it to Level 5."
"Then, I apply the Effect of Metamorphosis to Send it to the Graveyard and Special Summon a Level 5 Fusion Monster." Hayato Sent the Goblin Attack Force, whose utility had been completely drained, into the Graveyard. "Special Summon Level 5 Ojama Knight!"
The Goblins, who had already started celebrating prematurely just because they inflicted 200 points of Damage, were surprised to find a giant Magic Circle suddenly appear beneath their feet. Bound within the Magic Circle, they shattered into countless Light Particles before they could even cry for help. Then, a brand new [Ojama] Monster appeared on Hayato's Field.
[Ojama Knight] [Level 5/LIGHT Attribute]
[Beast Type/Fusion/Effect]
[0/2500]
"Ojama Knight? A Card I haven't heard of. Is it a Fusion [Ojama] Monster like Ojama King?" Rishid guessed.
"Precisely. And Ojama Knight's Effect is somewhat similar to Ojama King's." Hayato said, pushing back Ojama Yellow and Ojama Green, who were always trying to squeeze out of the Deck to join the fun. "As long as Ojama Knight exists on the Field in Face-up Position, then I can designate two Monster Zones on your Field as unusable."
It was rare to see an [Ojama] Monster that was dressed somewhat normally, but Ojama Knight exposed itself as a comedian with just a hip-swaying motion after appearing. Drawing the sword from its waist, Ojama Knight intended to rush onto Rishid's Field, find two auspicious spots, and carve its mark to claim them in advance.
"Don't even think about it!" Rishid looked displeased at the pot-bellied Ojama Knight and Activated his fourth Set Card. "Trap Card Intercept Barrier Activate!"
"This Card can only be Activated during the Battle Phase. It can change all Monsters on the Field in Defense Position to Attack Position, and their Effects are Negated!"
Although Hayato had now Summoned Ojama Knight, and also wanted to use its Effect to Negate Rishid's Monster Zones, but it was indeed still within the Battle Phase. However, rather than saying Hayato was too eager to end the Duel and was careless, it was more accurate to say Rishid, who had always employed a counter-attack Strategy, seized one of Hayato's rare openings.
Charging halfway, a tripwire suddenly appeared under Ojama Knight's feet, causing the unprepared monster to fall face-first. Although it wasn't significantly injured after getting up, the sword Ojama Knight used for carving had fallen somewhere unknown. Unarmed, it could only run back to Hayato's Field Dishevelled.
[Ojama Knight] [DEF2500→ATK0]
"You really are a Heavy Trap Player. To be able to counter even that, you're impressive." Hayato said with some helplessness, Setting two cards face-down. "Set two Cards, I End my Turn."
[Hayato: 4000LP, Hand 0]
[Ojama Knight] [ATK0]
[Set Card] X2
"Before your turn ends, I have a Card Effect to Activate." Rishid said, activating the last Card on his Backrow. "Quick-Play Spell Card Fires of Doomsday, Special Summon two Doomsday Tokens onto my Field."
Two ominous black Flames ignited on Rishid's Field. The Flames seemed to have a life of their own, gradually taking on humanoid forms, staring at Hayato with single fiery eyes.
[Doomsday Token] [Level 1/DARK]
[Fiend Type/Token]
[0/0]
"Although Fires of Doomsday has the Negative Effect that I cannot Summon, Flip Summon, or Special Summon during the Turn I Activate it, because I used this Card during your Turn, the Negative Effect is as if it doesn't exist." Rishid said, drawing a Card. "Now, my Turn begins."
And just as Rishid drew a Card, Hayato's pupils contracted, and his Breathing became unconsciously heavy. "This feeling... this is bad."
"Last Turn, he could have used Fires of Doomsday to Summon Doomsday Tokens to block Goblin Attack Force's Attack, but he chose to use Forbidden Lance to decrease the Monster's ATK and reduce his own Life Points instead, just to keep those two Doomsday Tokens."
"And this feeling... could it be!"
Hayato's eyes widened, and he suddenly shouted towards Rishid opposite him, "Hey Rishid, don't Summon that Monster!"
However, Rishid seemed not to have heard Hayato's words. He just closed his eyes and murmured, "Master Marik, please watch, my Duel!"
"Normal Summon Gravekeeper's Watcher, then Activate the Effect of a Card in my Hand, Tributing the three Fiend Type Monsters on my Field: Gravekeeper's Watcher and the two Doomsday Tokens!"
"Special Summon the strongest Phantasm God I possess, Raviel, Lord of Phantasms!"
Okay then, it's time for the next episode preview:
"Even the speed of light can be surpassed"
"I will definitely defeat you"
"Protecting the village is my mission"
"Finally, one last time, Fusion is about to accelerate"
"This matter is my fault, but I will not apologize"
