Chapter 88: Brave Little Beeper
With Hayato's Attack Order given, the Gaia on the Field clamped its legs, and the War Horse beneath it, cooperating perfectly, immediately charged towards Kujaku Mai's Harpie Lady on the Field.
"You bastard, you're going to take down my Harpie Lady with you?!"
Facing Kujaku Mai's question, Hayato did not answer. On the Field, the Gaia finally engaged in Battle with one of the Harpie Lady sisters. A sharp spear, sharp talons, a swift War Horse, swift wings. The Evenly Matched opponents simultaneously seized a moment of carelessness from the other, delivering a fatal blow, and were themselves Destroyed at the same time.
Hayato had chosen the eldest of the three Harpie Lady sisters as the Target for his Attack. Because she left the Field, the ATK of the remaining two Harpie Lady sisters lost their boost.
Harpie Lady 2, 3 [ATK 2300 → 2000]
"Damn it, you actually Destroyed my Harpie Lady." Kujaku Mai unhappily sent the Harpie Lady to the Graveyard. "But, you only have one Ojama Yellow in Attack Position on your Field. Next Turn, I'll wipe out your Life Points!"
Hayato waved his hand. "Wait a moment, Miss Mai, my Turn isn't over yet." Hayato was genuinely afraid Kujaku Mai would forcefully end his Turn. "Because my Gaia on the Field was Destroyed by Battle, my Set Card can be Activated, Intercept Egg!"
"I can Special Summon Little Beeper from my Deck to my Field!" Hayato searched his Deck for a Card. "Charge bravely, fearless of strong enemies! Come to my Field, Little Beeper!"
Taking advantage of the fact that no one in this era recognized it, Hayato shamelessly exchanged for Yusei's Card and added it to his Deck. Converted from illusion into reality, a seemingly fragile young bird with a pair of large shoes on its feet appeared on Hayato's Field, running.
Little Beeper [1☆/Earth]
[Winged Beast Type/Effect]
[300/DEF 300]
"Now my Turn is officially over." Hayato had done everything he could. "It's your Turn, Miss Mai."
[Hayato: 2900 LP, Hand 0]
Ojama Yellow [ATK 0]
Little Beeper [DEF 300 → 500]
"What's the use of a Monster with only 300 Defense? Even with the boost from Harpie's Hunting Ground, it's only 500 Points, not even as good as cannon fodder." Kujaku Mai smiled disdainfully, Drawing a Card from her Deck. "My Turn! Normal Summon the Harpie Lady in my Hand!"
Another Harpie Lady was Summoned to Kujaku Mai's Field. Although she didn't have the damage boost provided by Harpie Lady #1 and Cyber Shield, with the 200 ATK boost from Harpie's Hunting Ground, the newly appeared Harpie Lady still had a high ATK of 1500 Points.
As long as one Monster Destroyed Hayato's Little Beeper on the Field, the other two Monsters would be enough to clear Hayato's Life Points.
"Let the Battle begin! Harpie Lady #2 and #3, take down the two Monsters on the opposite Field!" Kujaku Mai ordered, crossing her arms over her chest, waiting for the two Harpie Lady sisters to put on a show.
And the two Harpie Lady sisters indeed lived up to expectations. After flying high into the sky and locking onto their respective Monsters, they swooped down like arrows. No matter how panicked Ojama Yellow was, it couldn't escape the pursuit of the Harpie Lady sisters, who were practically its natural enemies. Hayato's Life Points also took damage as a result.
[Hayato: 2900 LP → 900 LP]
The smoke from the Destroyed Monster gradually Dispersed. Kujaku Mai said leisurely, "Ojama Yellow being Destroyed will cause you to take 2000 Battle Damage. That Little Beeper's 500 Defense isn't worth worrying about. Next is Harpie Lady's Direct Attack on you, Hayato!"
"Is that so?"
"What!"
The smoke completely Dispersed, but on Hayato's Field, that Little Beeper, despite trembling, with a mere 500 Defense, was indeed still on the Field and had not been Destroyed by the previous Attack from the Harpie Lady sisters!
"Impossible, its Defense should only be 500 Points!"
Facing Kujaku Mai's doubt, Hayato said smugly, "Don't look down on Little Beeper just because it looks quite fragile. It won't fear even a Monster with Infinite ATK!"
Kujaku Mai really wanted to press Hayato's head onto the Field and take a good look at the Little Beeper that was trembling and constantly shaking its head, denying Hayato's words.
"Little Beeper cannot be Destroyed by Monsters with 1900 or more ATK!"
"Tch, then the other Harpie Lady will Attack it!" Kujaku Mai said unhappily. This time, facing the Harpie Lady with 1500 ATK, Little Beeper couldn't resist and was Destroyed, sent to the Graveyard to keep the Ojama Monsters company.
"My Turn ends here. You escaped this time, Hayato."
[Kujaku Mai: 3000 LP, Hand 0]
Harpie Lady 2, 3 [ATK 2000]
Harpie Lady [ATK 1500]
"Then it's my Turn, Draw!" Hayato's eyebrow twitched when he saw the Card he drew. "Activate Magic Card, Pot of Greed! I can Draw two more Cards."
"More Cards won't save you. What can you do with your mere 900 Life Points?" Looking at Hayato Drawing two Cards, Kujaku Mai said disdainfully, "My Harpie Lady lineup is impregnable. No matter what kind of Monster you Summon, it's impossible to defeat me!"
"Well, that's not necessarily true." Hayato showed a Card from his Hand. "Small Fry can also burst forth with great Power if they risk their lives. Normal Summon this Monster, Goblin Attack Force!"
A group of Monsters like Small Fry appeared on Hayato's Field. The Goblins were all wearing simple armor, and their weapons ranged from wooden clubs to spiked clubs. Although they looked like a disorganized mob, Kujaku Mai was quite surprised to see the appearance of this group of Goblins. "It's a Monster with 2300 ATK, the same as that Gaia!"
Goblin Attack Force [4☆/Earth]
[Warrior Type/Effect]
[2300/DEF 0]
"Taste the Power of the Small Fry you look down on! All troops, Attack!"
Hearing the Order, the Goblins instantly bolted like wild horses, charging straight towards Kujaku Mai's Harpie Lady #3 on the Field. After a chaotic Battle, the Harpie Lady was Destroyed by Battle, and Kujaku Mai took the overflowing 300 Points of damage as a result.
[Kujaku Mai: 3000 LP → 2700 LP]
"Damn it, my Harpie Lady!" Kujaku Mai said through gritted teeth. "But because it engaged in Battle, your Goblin Attack Force will also turn into a combat-useless Disorganized State!"
"You actually know this Card." Hayato wasn't too surprised. Goblin Attack Force wasn't a Super Rare Card. Compared to Dark Magician, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and other Cards, it was quite common. Even Pegasus had a Toon Version. It wasn't strange for Kujaku Mai to know this Card's Effect.
Although Goblin Attack Force, as a 4☆ Monster, had an exceptional 2300 ATK, this ragtag army could only use it once. Indeed, having just finished a Battle and taken down a Harpie Lady, these Goblins were already holding a banquet on the spot to celebrate, completely oblivious to the Murderous glares from the other two Harpie Lady sisters nearby.
"Set one Card, my Turn ends."
[Hayato: 900 LP, Hand 0]
Goblin Attack Force [DEF 0]
Set Card
Thanks to "The Real JoJo" for the 100 starting Points. I just realized I've been capitalizing the name incorrectly before, it's correct this time.
