The Wicked Avatar was just indestructible, but the Phantasmal Lord could not only negate its own destruction, but also counterattack!
Now Yuei Vu had "Ultimaya Tzolkin", "Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon", "Crystal Clear Wing Synchro Dragon", "Cosmic Blazar Dragon", and "Obelisk the Tormentor" on the field, a total of five monsters.
If all were destroyed by the effect of the Phantasmal Lord, it would cause 1000 points of damage in one go.
And Yuei Vu's remaining LP was exactly 1000.
But he obviously couldn't let this offense pass like this.
"Then at this moment, the effect of ‘Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon' is activated!" Yuei Vu said, "Once per turn, when another monster's effect is activated, I can negate the activation and destroy that monster!
Then this card gains ATK equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK until the end of this turn!
I use the effect of ‘Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon' to negate the effect of ‘Phantasmal Lord Ultimitl Bishbaalkin' and destroy it !"
"When ‘Phantasmal Lord Ultimitl Bishbaalkin' would be destroyed by battle or card effects, I can negate that destruction!" Nightshroud interrupted again, "This effect is not limited to once per turn.
That is to say, when ‘Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon' destroys it, this effect can be triggered again!So I used the effect of the Phantasmal Lord again to negate the destruction action of Crystal Wing on it! And once again, all monsters on the opponent's field are destroyed, and inflict damage equal to the number of destroyed monsters x200!"
"…Then use the effect of ‘Cosmic Blazar Dragon'." Yuei Vu said solemnly, "Remove this card from the game, negate the activation of the effect of ‘Phantasmal Lord Ultimitl Bishbaalkin' and destroy it!"
"You want to activate it again even though you know it's meaningless?" Nightshroud said disdainfully, "Then apply the effect of the Phantasmal Lord for the third time.
Negate the destruction of the Phantasmal Lord by ‘Cosmic Blazar Dragon', destroy all monsters on the opponent's field, and inflict damage equal to the number of destroyed monsters x200!"
"But in this case, ‘Cosmic Blazar Dragon' will leave the field before the effect is resolved, and will not be destroyed by the effect of the Phantasmal Lord."
Indeed, "banishing itself from the field" was the activation cost of Cosmic Blazar Dragon, and it had already left the field the moment the effect was activated. Whatever happened on the field next had nothing to do with it.
"Then there is the effect of ‘Crystal Clear Wing Synchro Dragon'." Yuei Vu said, "Once per turn, when the opponent activates a monster effect, this face-up card is unaffected by the activated effects of your opponent's monsters, also this card gains ATK equal to that opponent's monster's original ATK until the end of this turn!"
"However, the original attack power of ‘Phantasmal Lord Ultimitl Bishbaalkin' is 0," Nightshroud said, "Crystal Clear Wing Synchro Dragon cannot gain attack power from the Phantasmal Lord."
"I know, but through this effect, Crystal Clear Wing can be immune to the destruction effect of the Phantasmal Lord."
As he spoke, Crystal Clear Wing Synchro Dragon had already bloomed a layer of milky white transparent shield, like an energy-generated bubble containing it in the middle.
"But the Ultimaya Tzolkin, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, and even Obelisk must still be destroyed."
Nightshroud continued,
"The level of the Phantasmal Lord is 12; even Obelisk can't resist it!"
The white halo released by the Cosmic Blazar Dragon blocked the Phantasmal Lord like a barrier, but was shattered into pieces with one punch. The brilliant light of the Crystal Wing enveloped the Phantasmal Lord, but was also crushed by his aura.
Nothing could stop it; the power of the Phantasmal Lord broke through the layers of barriers and finally swept across Yuei Vu's entire field!
Crimson Dragon, Crystal Wing, Obelisk, even these powerful ones who reigned at the top of the Duel Monsters were finally suppressed by the power of the Phantasmal Lord. Monsters on Yuei Vu's field collapsed one after another.
Only Crystal Wing was left, relying on its own barrier to barely withstand the attack of the Phantasmal Lord.
"Take this!" Nightshroud said in a deep voice, "Feel the unstoppable force of the Phantasmal Lord!"
Cosmic Blazar Dragon fled, Crystal Wing resisted the bombardment, but the remaining three monsters were not so lucky. The three monsters were annihilated one after another under the energy of the Phantasmal Lord, and the burning and painful damage swept through Yuei Vu.
[Yuei Vu, LP 1000 → LP 400]
"At least you withstood the impact of the Phantasmal Lord." Nightshroud said, "But this means that your field are basically disintegrated, and all the walls on your field have been destroyed…"
"But you don't forget it, do you?" Yuei Vu interrupted him, "Obelisk's ‘Soul Energy MAX' ability is not just destroying monsters.
In addition to destroying all monsters on the opponent's field, Obelisk can also further inflict 4000 points of damage to the opponent!"
[Nightshroud, LP 2900]
"Wow." The two blue eyes on Nightshroud's goat-like forehead flashed. "Even if Obelisk has been destroyed by the Phantasmal Lord, his effect has already been activated, and I will still be killed by this punch…
… Is that what you think?"
He laughed sarcastically.
"Unfortunately, I certainly haven't forgotten this." Nightshroud raised his hand.
"Open the set card: Trap Card – Energy-Absorbing Monolith!
When an opponent's card effect would inflict damage to me, that damage is negated and I gain Life Points equal to the amount I would have taken!"
The effect damage version of Draining Shield!
A huge slate appeared on the field, and the blow from Obelisk's divine fist poured into the slate, all of which was reversed into life energy and became Nightshroud's nourishment, which only made him stronger!
"Then at this moment, the effect of ‘Crystal Clear Wing Synchro Dragon' is activated!" Yuei Vu said, "Once per turn, when a Spell/Trap Card or effect is activated, I can negate the activation and destroy that card.
I negate the activation of ‘Energy-Absorbing Monolith'!"
"As expected." Nightshroud sneered, "Crystal Clear Wing still has one S/T negation left. Do you think I forgot about this?
Open the set card: Trap Card – Rainbow Life!
Discard 1 card; until the end of this turn, each time I would take damage, I gain that amount of LP instead!"
