There are many types of spell cards, and the rare type that everyone wants is spell cards that generate resources quickly.
For example, Toon Revival. Basically, this spell card is already extremely good. It revives monsters, doubles their damage, lets you draw 2 more cards, and if you draw a monster, you can summon it right away?! Although it is limited to Jane's exclusive Cartoon monsters.
This is the kind of very strong resource-generating spell card. It protects the life of the monsters while also making them stronger.
Dragon's rise also belongs to the resource-generating card category, but it is only low level since it only summons monsters below level 4 to the field. Still, it provides a very big advantage.
It sounds good, but remember this is not Yu-Gi-Oh, it has Pokemon elements, so those monsters won't have skills like special summoning allies from the deck. At most, there are a few machine-type ones that can't survive without each other.
Of course, making this card is very difficult because it requires more materials and the success rate isn't high, so I was quite surprised when both of them used it right at the start of the match.
You used that card like you're playing Yu-Gi-Oh! Don't you know how to value it at all?!
Naturally, since it's such a strong card, they don't have many of them, especially Jane.
Because that is her only resource-generating card!
However... If she draws that card... Then everything will end immediately for Gutius.
"Jane, I will finish you off next turn," Gutius said, pointing at Jane.
"Then I'm really looking forward to it, senior," Jane replied cheerfully.
"Keep laughing!"
[Turn 2]
"I activate the equip spell 'Dragon Relic' on Sand Dragon!"
Hp: 1500 > 1700
"And when equipped to a Dragon-type monster, that monster gains a new skill! Use Dragon Roar!"
The Sand Dragon immediately let out a loud roar, causing all three Toon monsters to cover their ears in pain.
Jane slightly raised her eyebrow this time, not because Gutius was making things difficult for her.
"I'm quite curious. If that's the card you drew and it only has this much power, wouldn't it be rather useless? My monsters are almost unbeatable in battle and can only be destroyed by spell cards, trap cards, and weather effects."
"I know. I researched your deck thoroughly before challenging you."
"What do you mean?"
"Hmph, activate the Passive of the equip card! Dragon Sacrifice! When an opponent's monster has been affected by a trap, it will be marked as a tribute, and the Dragon Relic will become the strongest Dragon monster card from my deck."
"What?! There's an equip card this strong?!" The audience was all shocked.
"Maybe I should get one..." Kaiser thought.
The equip card immediately turned into a monster card in Gutius's hand, and it was none other than Geo-Drake of Lava and Stone, a level 7 monster of Gutius!
"I tribute Sand Dragon and Toon Rabbit to summon... Geo-Drake of Lava and Stone!"
The Sand Dragon and Toon Rabbit, both panicking, disappeared.
Immediately, an earth dragon burst out from the ground, causing tremors all around.
Geo-Drake of Lava and Stone (lv 7)
Type: Dragon/Earth
Atk: 2200
Hp: 3000
Race: Dragon
"THERE IT IS! HE HAS SUMMONED HIS ACE MONSTER, GEO-DRAKE!!"
Hearing that, the students in the same class as him all stood up, their faces full of pride.
"Your Cartoon monsters are very strong, but their weakness is too easy to exploit! Geo-Drake, use Sandstorm!"
Immediately, the battlefield's weather was covered in sand.
"This is the end!"
"Activate trap card, Banana Peel."
The face-down card on the field flipped up. Geo-Drake stepped on it and slipped, falling headfirst, causing the sandstorm skill to fail to activate.
"What?!"
"Oh!!! Geo-Drake just got summoned and immediately got hit by a trap!! Can Gutius's ace monster stand back up?!" The MC said.
"People like you who always try to win with speed but have no patience at all. Almost all the people who challenge me use the same generic strategies, don't they?" She smiled and replied.
"And let me tell you this: when an opponent's monster steps on the Banana Peel, there is a 50% chance it gets paralyzed or confused. Looking at your monster, it seems to be paralyzed."
"You..." He gritted his teeth.
"Anyway, Toon Duck and Toon Bird, attack."
After the turn passed, Toon Duck returned to 1000 Atk and charged forward, punching together with Toon Bird, reducing Geo-Drake's 3000 hp down to 1500 hp.
"Damn it, Geo-Drake, use Sandstorm now!"
Geo-Drake was paralyzed so it moved very slowly, struggling to get up.
"Continue attacking," Jane ordered. Toon Bird rushed forward and attacked.
1500 hp > 1000 hp
"GEO-DRAKE!!!"
Geo-Drake's eyes flashed, activating the Sandstorm skill at that moment.
The sandstorm appeared. The Toon monsters saw the sandstorm coming, looked at each other, and obediently went to the graveyard.
"Oh wow! Gutius has successfully destroyed all of Jane's Toon monsters on the field! Is this Gutius's chance?!"
"This Guardian seems... weak?" Alice scratched her head.
"Not really. It's just that the other guy researched her quite well and used cards to counter her," I said.
"Then Gutius has a very high chance of winning! Look at her, she's in a bad spot!" Lucas said.
"...She won't lose, as long as her monsters aren't banished," I said.
"Huh? Why?" Everyone looked at me, even Aelith was curious.
"...Just keep watching. Why are you looking at me?"
After all, her deck...
"Phew... Geo-Drake, attack her life core!"
Geo-Drake struggled forward and delivered a heavy blow to Jane's life core.
6300 lp > 4100 lp
"Continue attac-"
[Turn 2 end! Draw phase]
"...Tch, it's fine. Anyway, you won't be able to beat me in this sandstorm environment! My monster has been buffed with a shield to block damage. You're nothing!"
"Really?" She tilted her head, looking curious.
"Definitely!"
"Hehe, senior is really funny. Let me draw a card~"
She drew a card and held it in her hand.
"Hmph..." He also drew a card and looked at it.
Earth Dragon.
'Perfect, it will be very strong together with Geo-Drake!'
"Come out, Earth Dragon!"
A thick-bodied dragon appeared. It roared loudly and looked at Jane.
Earth Dragon (lv 4)
Type: Dragon/Earth
Atk: 1700
Hp: 1500
Race: Dragon
"Due to the sandstorm weather, the Earth Dragon will also receive 20% Def based on its health!"
Immediately, the Earth Dragon gained 300 Def.
"Are you done?" She asked.
"Hmph, too much talking. Why don't you summon something? Or are you scar-"
"Oh perfect! I was waiting for you to finish rambling before summoning~"
...Girl, you're quite good at provoking people.
"I summon Toon Death."
Here it comes!! It's here!!
Immediately, a cartoon-style Grim Reaper appeared, holding a short scythe.
Toon Death (lv 4)
Type: Fairy/Ghost
Atk: 1500
Hp: 0
Race: Cartoon
"Hmph, it will be destroyed by the weather soon anyway. You're out of options, right?"
"Really? Why don't you open your eyes and look?" She replied cheerfully.
"Huh?"
He was surprised to see the sandstorm pass right through Toon Death without causing any damage.
"Wha-?!"
"Hm? It seems you didn't research my cards very well, did you?" She teased.
"What?! Why isn't Jean's monster affected at all?! Isn't it a Toon?!" The MC looked confused, while the people around looked at him like he was a clown.
Dude, I thought you were supposed to know everything since you're the MC? Since when do people lacking knowledge become commentators?
"Huh? Why isn't it affected?" Alice scratched her head, even more confused.
"Because it's different from other Toon monsters. It can only be killed in battle, but it's immune to everything else."
"Huh?! Isn't it a one-hit kill?!" Tryo asked.
"If Gutius's monsters can even touch it."
Basically, Toon Death is no different from a god monster! Because almost all god monsters share the innate ability to be immune to all spell cards, trap cards, weather effects, and many other things. Only battle can defeat it!
[Turn 3]
"Hmph, if those things don't work, that means I can fight you directly, and my monsters are specialized for that! Earth Dragon, use Earthquake!"
"Toon Death, count the number of monsters in my graveyard."
Toon Death counted to 3 and confirmed. She smiled and gave another order.
"When it knows the number of monsters in the graveyard, Toon Death can activate a number of traps skill equal to that amount. Now, use Grudge of the Dead!"
Toon Death activated the skill. Immediately, both the Earth Dragon and Geo-Drake had souls from the underworld grabbing their legs, slowly pulling them down.
"Wh-What is this?!"
"When affected by Grudge of the Dead, those monsters cannot act during this turn."
"Wow?! What kind of broken card is that?!" The MC said, spitting water on the person in front.
'That's why in the game she's the strongest. I swear I kept losing to her because of these annoying and troublesome cards,' I thought to myself.
"After that, Toon Death uses the last Grudge of the Dead to mark one monster in my graveyard, and next turn, that monster will revive."
"I choose Toon Rabbit."
From the graveyard, the Toon monsters who were playing cards saw Toon Rabbit suddenly get a mark on its head and jump up happily, while Toon Duck and Toon Bird looked annoyed.
"...Why does her deck seem so annoying to deal with?" Alvin's face turned slightly pale seeing this.
Hard to kill, can revive, and troublesome to handle... The title of Guardian is no joke.
"Of course, after using that skill, Toon Death cannot attack."
Seeing that, Gutius breathed a sigh of relief.
If that thing could still act after disabling his two monsters, he would definitely lose.
Besides, the sandstorm weather was still active. He didn't know what she was planning by reviving Toon Rabbit.
[Turn 3 end! Draw phase]
Both drew cards. Gutius was happy when he drew a good card.
With this card, I can destroy that annoying Toon Death!
[Turn 4]
"I activate the spell card Frenzy! It allows the selected monster to attack the opponent's monster immediately! I choose Toon Death!"
What?! Toon Rabbit hasn't even come back to the field yet?!
"Geo-Drake, use Hyper Beam!!"
Geo-Drake gathered energy in its mouth and fired a destructive energy beam straight at Toon Death.
At that moment, Jane took out a card and flipped it over for everyone to see.
I immediately widened my eyes, feeling excited as PTSD hit me hard.
Damn! She drew that card!!!
Even her followers could only look away.
Gutius had already lost, and lost miserably.
Because the card she just drew and activated...
"Activate the spell card Toon Force."
Gutius's eyes widened.
He knew that card.
Not just knew it, he knew it very well.
It was the signature card that made her famous, and the reason for her undefeated record since 7th grade!
"When Toon Force is activated, all Cartoon-type monsters on the field..."
The atmosphere darkened. She smiled, but her eyes glowed with a pink, bewitching and dangerous light.
"...become completely invincible for one turn, as long as this spell card remains active on the field."
Boom!!
Geo-Drake blew smoke from its mouth, watching the smoke gradually dissipate.
Only to see Toon Death still standing there, chanting.
Immediately, Toon Rabbit appeared, successfully revived.
"OHHH!! JEAN HAS USED TOON FORCE!! EVERYTHING IS ABOUT TO END!!!!" The MC shouted, hyping up the audience.
"Toon Rabbit, use your "terrifying speed" skill to run to the life core. Ignore the others, just attack."
Toon Rabbit bit into a carrot and shot past Geo-Drake and Earth Dragon, kicking the life core.
6000 lp > 5000 lp
"EARTH DRAGON, PROTECT-"
"Toon Death also attacks."
Toon Death moved like the Grim Reaper, gliding past both monsters and striking the life core.
5000 lp > 3500 lp
"GEO-DRAKE, STOP THEM! TRY TO BUY AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE!!"
Geo-Drake stomped hard on the ground, sending Toon Rabbit flying up.
But it quickly spun a few times in the air and kicked the life core again.
3500 lp > 2000 lp
"No no no!!"
They really couldn't be stopped!!
Why did 20 seconds suddenly feel so long?! Hurry up and pass already!!!
The Earth Dragon kept trying to attack Toon Death but the blows passed right through it. Toon Death remained unaffected and slashed the life core with its scythe.
2000 lp > 500 lp
"NO!!!" He was sweating, almost helpless.
Then Toon Rabbit leaned against the life core with an extremely annoying expression.
"U mad bro?"
Yeah, that's exactly what it said to him.
Toon Rabbit then stood up, brushed itself off, spun its arm continuously, and delivered a final punch to the life core.
500 lp > 0 lp
[Jane win!]
...It was truly a one-sided destruction.
