Chapter 41: No One Is a Big Trap, or Everyone Is a Big Trap
"Although it's not the first time that this has happened, it's as forceful as ever. I'm almost used to starting playing cards when I'm in trouble."
Looking at Gebu holding up the duel disk, Hayato unfolded the duel disk and took a step forward, "But I won't shy away from the challenge. No one in the whole village has beaten me at cards."
"duel!"
"duel!"
[Gaibu: 4000lp]
[Hayato: 4000lp]
Almost at the beginning of the duel, Hayato quickly completed the card draw to seize the initiative, and drew a card from the deck: "I will take the initiative, draw the card!"
"Although I don't know what deck you are using, but since you are a tomb-keeper, I guess the sun will never go anywhere." Looking at Gebu opposite, Hayato pulled a card from his hand, "But there is no It’s related, because this time the deck I played is not afraid of being pitted at all!”
"Summon a monster in face-down defense position, then activate the continuous magic card [Nightmare Mirage], then cover the remaining four cards in my hand, and my turn ends immediately!"
Heavy pits cannot be restrained, because you can never be sure which form of pit the opponent is using. Since you cannot restrain it, it is better to join heavy pits. I will expand it directly!

"The people who have been complaining about the tomb-guarding clan are all playing tricks, but it turns out that you, brother-in-law, are the same!" Malik beside him complained, "Or do you think you have been included in the tomb-guarding clan?"
Hayato just rolled his eyes at Malik and ignored him. Although Geb's expression was as calm as before, Hayato felt that his face seemed even worse.
"My turn, draw a card." After pulling out a card from the deck and adding it to his hand, Geb glanced at the five face-up cards on Hayato's field and snorted, "Humph, I grabbed it. You have the advantage of being the first to move but you don’t even dare to proceed further?”
"It's just necessary to be safe, Mr. Geb."
Hayato thought that there was nothing wrong with the operation, so he started to randomly expand the opponent's deck when he was not sure. He learned this lesson the first time he dueled with Datsu. Gaib said this about him, Hayato always had the feeling that he was playing eggs. It feels like nitpicking, "During the opponent's preparation phase, the effect of [Nightmare Mirage Tower] takes effect, and I draw cards from the deck until I have four cards in my hand."
As he spoke, Hayato drew cards from the deck, and the cards in his hand that had been exhausted in the last round returned to four in the blink of an eye.
"There's a price for drawing so many cards in one go, right?" Geb asked, looking at Hayato's four cards.
Hayato also nodded: "Indeed, after all, powerful cards often come with huge risks. During my preparation stage, I will also need to discard the number of cards drawn from my hand due to the effect of [Nightmare Mirage Tower]. "
Gaib nodded, but his tone towards Hayato was still not very friendly: "In that case, just cherish the effect, because you won't be able to use magic or trap cards next."
He drew a card from his hand and inserted it into the golden duel plate. Looking at the card that appeared on his backfield, Geb waved his hand and ordered: "I activate the magic card [Big Cold Wave]. This card can only be activated at the beginning of the main phase." . Until the next time I draw a card, neither party can use the effects of magic or trap cards, nor can they activate or set magic or trap cards!"
"Nani?" Hayato frowned upon hearing this.
[Big Cold Wave] The effect of this card is actually quite straightforward in the final analysis. It just blocks the use of magic and trap cards by both parties, and it will last until the end of Hayato's next turn. During this period, both parties can only use monsters to fight.
Seems pretty fair? But don't forget that at this moment, Hayato has five cards in the backfield waiting to be activated. If [Big Cold Wave] is successfully activated, Hayato will be the one who suffers the most.
"Big wood, big wood, chain [Big Cold Wave], I open the cover in the backcourt," Hayato pressed the cover to see the cold air released from the [Big Cold Wave] that was about to sweep across the entire field. With a wave of his hand after pressing the card button, a card in the backfield was revealed, "The Continuous Trap Card [Palace's Order] invalidates the effects of all magic cards on the field!"
"In the name of God, I command you to stand down!"
A humanoid shadow stood up behind Hayato, and with a wave of his hand, the freezing air released by Gebu's [Great Cold Wave] was instantly dispersed.
While [Palace's Decree] is on the field, the effects of both Hayato and Gebu's magic cards will be invalidated. Although there is a restriction that both parties need to pay 700 LP to maintain each preparation phase after activation, but the total It's better than being blocked by [Big Cold Wave] and all trap cards.
Not only that, because of the effect of [Palace's Edict], the effect of the sustainable magic card [Nightmare Mirage] currently on Hayato's field is also invalidated. This is a good thing for Hayato, because He has already enjoyed the positive effects it brought. If [Nightmare Mirage Tower] is disabled, he can avoid the negative effects in the next round.
Gaib also saw this and said unhappily: "Tsk, not only do you not have the courage to unfold, but you don't even have the awareness to bear the negative effects. What a bad man. Since all the magic cards in the field have been invalidated, then I usually summon this monster!”
As Geb placed a card on the duel plate, his field ignited with golden flames, and a figure appeared bathed in the flames. Gold was cast into a close-fitting armor and worn on the body. The long sword in his hand was shaped like a divine bird feather. His long silver hair and white skin with flame-like orange background were fluttering in the wind with the firelight.

"[Nephthys]?" Looking at the monster Geb used, Yugi said with some surprise, "Is that one of the Nine Pillars of Heliopolis?"
"The patron saint of houses and the dead, and also the goddess of fertility like Isis, but as you know, the Isis I am talking about is not my sister, but the god Isis." Malik said casually, "Actually, When naming the tomb-keepers, many people refer to the names of gods in mythology, but my father’s name was taken from Geb, the god of the earth.”
"In the Heliopolis nine-pillar system, the sky god Nut and the earth god Geb fell in love and combined, giving birth to Osiris, Set, Isis, and Nephthys, who was also used by my father. The prototype of the card.”
"One point worth explaining is that although I never defeated my sister even once during my childhood, even my sister never defeated my father once. Unlike the goddess in mythology, my father used [Nephthys]. , possessing powerful 'destructive' power."
There is no need for Malik to continue explaining. After summoning [Guardian of Nephthys] normally, Geb showed another card from his hand: "Activate the field during my main phase. The effect of [Guardian of Nephthys] is to choose a card in my hand to destroy, and then I will destroy one [Nephthys] below 4☆ except [Guardian of Nephthys] from my hand. Monster special summons.”
"I destroy the [Enlightenment of Nephthys] in my hand, reborn from the destruction, and special summon the [Guide of Nephthys] with level 2☆ in my hand!"
As Geb played the card in his hand, a female monk appeared on his field wearing golden armor and covering her head with a white cloak. However, the monk only appeared for a moment, and sacred golden flames suddenly ignited around her. Swallowing the monk, a graceful dancer appeared wearing golden armor and stepping on the ignited flames.
【Guide of Nephthys】【2☆/Wind】
[Magician Family/Effect]
【600/600】
Able to jump twice, identified as a top!
Hayato looked at the two monsters on the Geb field and said: "Although after one operation, I consumed only two cards in my hand, I only summoned two miscellaneous fish monsters with attack power of less than 1500 points. But since If [Guardian of Nephthys] has the ability to call other monsters, then [Guide of Nephthys], just by listening to its name, can probably guess that it has the power to guide some powerful monster to appear, right?"
Although Hayato actually knows the effect of [Guide of Nephthys] and even the deck of [Nephthys], who wouldn't want to act cool if possible? The effect of pretending to be reasoning and saying what you actually already know is super cool, okay?
As expected, after hearing Hayato's words, Geb also showed a slightly surprised expression: "You can actually guess the effect of my monster? Huh, he is so thoughtful and calculating, he is definitely not a good person."
"But can you stop me? It's coming. The strongest monster in my deck will come at this moment!" Geb waved his hand forward and said, "The effect of [Guide of Nephthys] will A monster on my field and [Guide of Nephthys] can only be activated by liberating themselves. Special summon a [Phoenix God of Nephthys] from my hand or deck!"
As Geb gave the order, [Guide of Nephthys] and [Guardian of Nephthys] on his field simultaneously stretched their arms above their heads and made a gesture of praising the sun. The surrounding flames rolled up like a wave and turned into a fire tornado reaching the sky.
Geb took out a card from the deck and raised it above his head, shouting:
"Roaring flames, use the power of destruction and regeneration to awaken the true power! Wake up! The immortal bird soaring in the sky!"
"[Phoenix God of Nephthys]!"
In the rising flames, the golden armor once worn by the two monsters was dissolved and recast into the body of a huge divine bird. The flames merged into this golden body, and the fierce divine bird was born from the flames that soared into the sky. The ground flaps its wings, scattering the flames surrounding its body, revealing its majestic figure!
[Phoenix God of Nephthys] [8☆/Fire]
[Birds/Beasts/Effects]
【2400/1600】
After summoning [Phoenix God of Nephthys], Geb almost did not hesitate and immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Enter my battle phase and use [Phoenix God of Nephthys] to attack the one on your field. A monster in face-down defense position!"
"Sacred Fire Shiranui!"
After hearing Geb's order, the [Phoenix God of Nephthys] in the sky screamed and dived towards the ground. Although it was a bird and beast, it had a pair of arms. At the moment, it was holding a ball in both hands. The jumping fireball elongated its shape due to the dive, forming a pair of flame spears in the air, and pierced the covered card on Hayato's field!
"boom!"
Although the attack power of [Phoenix God of Nephthys] is really shameful among level 8☆ monsters, it is not even comparable to [Blue Eyes White Dragon], which is the conventional comparison target. It is even lower than 1☆'s [True Red Eyes Black Dragon] is equivalent. However, a high-level monster is a high-level monster, and its attack power easily destroyed Hayato's face-down monster...
Not ruined! ?
The cover card that covered the monster's figure was destroyed by a musket, revealing a pink bird wearing shoes hiding under the card. At this moment, the bird was shivering, and he only raised his head belatedly, realizing that he was too weak. He was so small, but he was very lucky to be between the flame spears pierced by [Nephthys' Phoenix God] and was not hit!
【Little Roadrunner】【1☆/land】
[Birds/Beasts/Effects]
【300/300】
"That monster is obviously so weak in attack and defense. Why?" Looking at the pale [Little Roadrunner], Geb was a little confused.
"Hmph, of course it's because my [Little Roadrunner] has fearless courage that can transcend life and death. The more powerful the monster, the more courage it can inspire."
([Little Roadrunner]: I don’t!)
Hayato explained, "Although it is only a level 1☆ monster, [Little Roadrunner] has the ability to not be destroyed by battle with monsters with an attack power of more than 1900 points, and it can summon [Phoenix of Nephthys] with a higher attack power. God], it was your mistake."
If Geb did not use the effect of [Guide of Nephthys] to specially summon [Phoenix God of Nephthys], any of the two monsters on the field with attack power of less than 1500 points would be They can easily break through the defense of [Little Roadrunner] and then hit Hayato directly to cause damage. However, after switching to [Phoenix God of Nephthys] with higher attack power, it is unable to defeat [Little Roadrunner].
Even because [Little Roadrunner] was in defense position and [Nephthys Phoenix God] did not have the ability to penetrate defense, Hayato did not receive even a single bit of damage.
Glancing at the little roadrunner on Hayato's field, Gabe said harshly: "Although it has resistance to battle damage, it is only limited to monsters with an attack power of 1900 or more. Wait until my next turn to summon a monster at will. You can destroy it. You saved your life, Hayato Kobayashi."
He drew a card from his hand and covered it on the backfield. Geb said helplessly: "Cover a card and my turn ends."

"Hey, don't be busy. At this moment, I want to activate the Gaika in my backcourt." At the moment Gaib declared that the round was over, Hayato pressed the button to activate Gaika at this moment, "I activate this A trap card——"
