Chương 652: Chapter 652: Warship Rush
"Cyber Tutu's direct attack!"
The petite dancer in a tutu stepped lightly forward, toes tapping, body spinning rapidly. In her spin, her right leg lashed out like a whip, cracking across the crouching, guard-up Lorenzo.
[Lorenzo, LP 1900 → 900]
"Ugh—"
Lorenzo grimaced, swaying, almost unable to stand.
In fact, even if he still had a monster on the field, this would've gone through. Cyber Tutu can attack directly if the opponent controls a monster with higher ATK than hers.
Yes—direct attacks: avoid head-on battles and go straight for the duelist's face, even tanking damage yourself to make the opening. That's Alexis's strategy.
She'd always liked such tactics; but over the past year, provoked by someone or something, she'd developed them further.
She dug deeper into her key cards and evolved them, adjusted her tactics, and her face-rushing is fiercer than before.
Lorenzo had already learned that the hard way. In just two turns at the start, he'd eaten 5600 damage, and neither side's monsters had actually clashed once—terrifying.
Alexis: "Then I set 1 card and end my turn."
"But Boss Rush also activates!"
Lorenzo barked.
"The Continuous Spell 'Boss Rush' effect," he said. "When a face-up 'B.E.S.' monster I control is destroyed and sent to the GY, during the End Phase I Special Summon a 'B.E.S.' from my Deck."
The Spell glowed. He raised his duel disk, and a beam of light shot out.
"Show yourself! B.E.S. Tetran!"
A brand-new warship flew out of the Deck. A massive metal body, swinging alloy arms like an octopus in the sky.
[B.E.S. Tetran, ATK 1800] 1
"B.E.S. do not die," Lorenzo said smugly. "All B.E.S. monsters cannot be destroyed by battle!
And even if they're destroyed by effects, no matter how many you knock down, more will replace them. That's a true BOSS!"
"They may not be destroyed by battle, but 'invincible' is far from it."
Alexis looked at the glaring blue core in the airborne warship.
"The warship's energy core is its greatest weakness. Once the core is attacked, it's destroyed immediately."
This wasn't fluff—it was intentional deck design. B.E.S. have a protective shield over their energy core. If the core is attacked without protection, the warship explodes.
Generally, when a B.E.S. is Summoned, it gets two or three Counters representing the protective layers over the core.
While a B.E.S. can't be destroyed by battle, it must remove one Counter each time it battles. If it battles while it has no Counters, after damage calculation it's destroyed.
"My turn. Draw!"
Lorenzo glanced at the card and lifted his lids.
"B.E.S. Tetran only places three Counters when Normal Summoned. Since it was Special Summoned by 'Boss Rush,' Tetran currently has no Counters.
But I'm activating this card!"
