I Play Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game - Chapter 1575: Tormentor Cannot Be Targeted

“Activate the Quick-Play Spell ‘Multiply’ from my hand.” Yuei Vu said, “Tribute a monster with 500 or less ATK, and split that monster into any number of Tokens.” (Animation effect)
“I release the ‘Card Breaker’ on the field and special summon three ‘Card Breaker Tokens’!”
The small Card Breaker turned into a golden light spot and dissipated from the field, splitting into three and becoming three warriors with the same shape.
[Card Breaker Token, ATK 100] x3
“Then I release three ‘Card Breaker Tokens’! Tribute Summon!”
Yuei Vu waved his hand.
“The burning wind blows wildly on the earth, and suppresses everything with absolute divine power! Descend–
–The God of Destruction, Obelisk the Tormentor!!!”
A blue beam of light fell from the sky, and the strong impact shook the earth. The blue giant towered like a mountain, with its clenched fists wrapped in pale blue divine light.
[Obelisk the Tormentor, ATK 4000]“Activate the Spell Card – Double Summon! In this turn, I can conduct the second Normal Summon.” Yuei Vu said, “I Normal Summon ‘Ra’s Disciple’!”
[Ra’s Disciple, ATK 1300]
“Ra’s Disciple’s effect is activated!” Yuei Vu said, “When this card is Summoned: I can Special Summon up to 2 ‘Ra’s Disciple’ from my hand and/or Deck.”
[Ra’s Disciple, ATK 1300] x2
Yuei Vu explained, and then drew another card from his hand.
“Spell Card ‘Card of Heaven and Earth’. In the turn that I summoned a Level 7 ỏ higher monster, draw two cards from the deck, but those two cards cannot be used this turn, and at least one must be Set.”
Yuei Vu drew two cards and added them to his hand.
“Then activate the Spell Card ‘Ancient Chant’ from my hand.” Yuei Vu said, “Add 1 ‘The Winged Dragon of Ra’ from my deck or graveyard to my hand.
After that, I can Tribute Summon 1 monster during my Main Phase this turn, in addition to my Normal Summon/Set!”
“A Spell that supports The Winged Dragon?” Nightshroud said, “Additional summons after searching for Winged Dragon…”
“That’s right.” Yuei Vu waved his hand and said, “I will release the three ‘Ra’s Disciple’ on the field! Tribute Summon!
The ever-changing fire of heaven and earth turns into eternal light to illuminate the earth–
–The Winged Dragon of Ra!!!”
Three more monsters were released from the field and disappeared, and golden powder poured into the sky, like a golden round sun hanging in the sky.
The radiance of the scorching sun dispelled the darkness in the space, and the golden bird spread its golden wings, and the scorching light shone in the sky!
[The Winged Dragon of Ra, ATK ?]
“The Winged Dragon of Ra’s original ATK/DEF becomes the combined original ATK/DEF of the monsters Tributed for its Summon.” Yuei Vu said, “The three monsters I Tributed are all ‘Ra’s Disciple’, whose attack power is 1300.
Therefore, the total attack power of The Winged Dragon of Ra is…”
[The Winged Dragon of Ra, ATK ? → ATK 3900]
Two Egyptian Gods were summoned!
“I see.” Nightshroud seemed to understand Yuei Vu’s thoughts, “In fact, you have ‘Card Breaker’ in your hand from the beginning, which can easily solve my ‘Pyramid of Light’.
But even if you solve the ‘Pyramid of Light’ and summon the two Egyptian Gods, in fact, you can’t break through my defense line on the field.”
“That’s right.” Yuei Vu smiled, “Armityle the Chaos Phantasm has the resistance to being destroyed by battle. And because it is special summoned by the effect of ‘Dimension Fusion Destruction’, it can’t cause battle damage even if it is attacked.
Your ‘Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord’ also has the resistance to being destroyed by battle or card effects.”
“Even if you summon two Egyptian Gods, you can’t clear my field.” Nightshroud understood, “So you deliberately activated ‘Evenly Matched’ first to trick me into keeping ‘Pyramid of Light’, so that I would give up the lineup that you couldn’t clear even with the Egyptian Gods…
…Heh, good calculation, Duel King.”
“Thank you.” Yuei Vu shrugged, “But anyway, the battle phase of this turn has ended after activating ‘Evenly Matched’.
I will set another card on the field, and my turn is over.”
“My turn, draw.”
Nightshroud hummed.
“You may think that breaking through the ‘Pyramid of Light’ and successfully summoning two Egyptian Gods is a major breakthrough.” He said, “But even Egyptian Gods are not worth mentioning in front of me now.
The third effect of ‘Eldlich the Golden Lord’! Send this card and 1 Spell/Trap from my hand to the GY, then target 1 card on the field; send it to the GY!”
Nightshroud showed the two cards in his hand, including the Golden Lord, and sent them to the graveyard area of the duel disk one by one.
“And, because ‘Eldlich the Golden Lord’ is a level 10 monster, its effect is also effective against gods!”
Nightshroud smiled grimly.
“So, although it’s rare for you to summon two Egyptian Gods, it’s a pity that you can’t keep them.” He said, “Although they haven’t had time to do anything, I may have to ask an Egyptian God to leave early here.”
“Obelisk the Tormentor cannot be targeted by card effects.” Yuei Vu said.
Interestingly, if it were the anime version of Obelisk, it might be dealt with by the Golden Lord. The original anime version of Obelisk was only affected by effects of Level 10 or higher monsters only, but the real-life version summoned by Yuei Vu here “cannot be the target of any Spell, Trap, or monster effect”, no matter what level it was.
So the real-life card Obelisk had more advantages here, as the Golden Lord can’t even specify Obelisk as the target of its effect.
In this case, the Golden Lord seemed to have no choice.
“Then I choose ‘The Winged Dragon of Ra’.” Nightshroud said, “Use the effect of ‘Eldlich the Golden Lord’ to send ‘The Winged Dragon of Ra’ to the graveyard!”
The Winged Dragon roared at his teammate, who was only concerned with self-preservation, but was immediately enveloped by the power of the Golden Lord, and his body was burned by flames and disappeared from the field.
However… this was also within Yuei Vu’s calculation!
“Obelisk the Tormentor cannot be targeted by card effects, so the only card you can send to the graveyard is The Winged Dragon.” Yuei Vu said calmly.
“Oh?” Nightshroud said disdainfully, “Are you trying to say that even the retirement of The Winged Dragon is part of your plan?”
Yuei Vu didn’t say anything, just raised the Duel Disk in his hand.
Golden flames burst out from the Graveyard area of his Duel Disk, and condensed into a golden and shining firebird in mid-air!
“When ‘The Winged Dragon of Ra’ on my field is sent from the field to the Graveyard, this card can be Special Summoned from my Graveyard–
–The Winged Dragon of Ra – Immortal Phoenix!!!”
