The Masked Hero Dark Claw, known for its countless deceptions and the termination of countless friendships, now finds itself sent directly to the netherworld by a Bottomless Pit.
The invincible Masked Hero Dark Claw must be face-up on the field to be effective. Covered face-down, it becomes a normal card, unable to unleash its incredible abilities.
However, this made Youyu look more highly upon Bakura.
Counting this Bottomless Pit, Bakura had already interrupted Youyu's actions four times in one turn. Such interference power during the opponent's turn is quite terrifying; even a single trap could drive most people to despair.
But fortunately, Youyu was not an average person.
It's time to show the Evil God how a true Duelist performs! (strategic lean back)
"Activate Magic Card - Trade-In from hand!" Youyu proclaimed, "Discard a Level 8 monster from my hand, and draw two cards from the deck."
He discarded the Magic Card along with another card from his hand to the graveyard.
"I throw the Level 8 'Black Luster Soldier - Super Soldier' into the graveyard and draw from the deck."
Seeing Youyu draw cards, Bakura's eyes twitched: "Is it really the Black Luster Soldier?"
He was secretly taken aback.
This guy... After all the interference I've done, can he still continue his plays?
"Ritual Magic - Super Soldier Synthesis!" Youyu brandished the Ritual Card in his hand. "Send a total Level of 8, Light Attribute monster from hand, and Dark Attribute monster from deck to graveyard, then Ritual Summon 'Black Luster Soldier' from the hand or graveyard!"
As he spoke, a card in the deck shot out, drawn by Youyu.
"I send the Level 4 Light Attribute 'Elemental Hero Sparkman' from my hand and the Level 4 Dark Attribute 'Knight of Dark Shadows' from my deck to the graveyard for the Ritual Summon!
In turn, the emissary of chaos turn into light—
—Level 8, Black Luster Soldier - Super Soldier, Ritual Summon!"
Light and dark souls intertwined, shooting into the void. The sprouting chaos power exploded, and with angular iron armor and wielding sword and shield, the Super Warrior stepped out, crimson circuitry crawling over the shield and armor, glowing like neon under the darkened sky.
[Black Luster Soldier - Super Soldier, ATK 3000]
"Ah, it's here! The strongest form of the legendary warrior!"
"That's Youyu for you!" Jonouchi exclaimed, "To summon the strongest warrior despite such huge obstacles... It's insanely powerful!"
"Yeah!" Yugi nodded vigorously, "Youyu and my other self together are an unbeatable team!"
Facing the powerful warrior with sword qi soaring into the skies, even Bakura found it troublesome: "To summon the Super Warrior even now...
Nevertheless, your 'Black Luster Soldier - Super Warrior' was Ritual Summoned from the graveyard, allowing me to draw three cards due to the effect of 'Card of Safe Return'!"
Three stone tablets dropped from the air.
Youyu stated: "The 'Black Luster Soldier - Super Soldier' Ritual Summoned using 'Knight of Dark Shadows' can once a turn, randomly banish one card in your hand until the end of your next turn!"
The Super Warrior's sword flashed, the fiery blade beam like a laser shot forward, hitting one of the stone tablets before Bakura. Red lightning snakes jumped across the stone, which soon became illusory and disappeared into thin air.
Bakura clicked his tongue in displeasure, appearing to have lost an important card.
Youyu waved his hand: "Summoned using 'Knight of Dark Shadows', the Chaos Warrior gains an additional effect! Once per turn, the Super Warrior can banish one monster on the field from the game!
Banish 'Doomking Balerdroch'!"
"What!?" Bakura's expression changed drastically.
Even Dark Yugi could not help but praise: "Nice move!"
"That was excellent, Youyu!" Yugi also noted.
Honda couldn't keep up: "What? What's happening?"
Thus, Yugi patiently explained: "Bakura's strategy was clear. Using 'Zombie World' to turn the Evil Gods in the grave into Undead-Type, summoning them each turn to use their formidable powers for attacks.
But the drawback of this is, the specially summoned Evil God can only stay on the field for one turn. So during my other self and Youyu's turns, Bakura's Evil God returns to the graveyard."
Jonouchi added: "That's why Bakura uses 'Doomking Balerdroch' to cover up this flaw. The Doomking revives no matter how many times it's defeated, with the powerful ability to negate monster effects and banish monsters during the opponent's turn.
As long as Doomking is around, Yugi and Youyu will find it hard to launch a counterattack... Honestly, it's quite an intimidating strategy, Bakura, as a Duelist, has reached a ridiculous level of strength."
"Yes," Yugi nodded, "But Youyu found a way around it. By using 'Black Luster Soldier - Super Soldier's power to banish 'Doomking Balerdroch' from the game..."
"I see!" Even Anzu understood, "This way, the monster can't keep resurrecting from the grave!"
At this moment, the Chaos Warrior had drawn his sword.
A stream of sword light, unhurried and seemingly ordinary, yet where it reached, it seemed to sever and displace everything in its path.
Dark Dimension Slash!
A dimensional-distorting slash, and Doomking roared in unwillingness, its bulky form instantly sucked into Dimensional Fissure, vanished amidst the fiery red lightning dancing around.
In the very first round of exchange, almost in a mere glimpse, Bakura's invincible chain was forcibly torn open by the Chaos Warrior's power.
"I haven't conducted battle this turn yet." Youyu raised his hand, "Battle! Super Warrior - Black Luster Soldier, direct attack on Bakura!"
The Super Warrior stepped forward, and whirlwinds spiraled behind its metallic boots, its form turning into a residual image flashing out. The crimson sword light flickered, Bakura instinctively raised his arm to shield his face.
In that brief instant, he felt his entire arm was no longer a part of himself. Intense cutting sensation penetrated his whole body as if his viscera melted, leaving a scorching, charred trench on the ground at his diagonal rear.
"Ahhh!!!"
[Bakura, LP 8000 → LP 5000]
The Chaos Warrior sheathed his sword, stepped back lightly and returned to Youyu's side, holding his sword at chest height.
"The turn ends." Youyu smiled, "Take it easy, Evil God. With just this level, those 8000 Life Points might not be enough."
Bakura bit his lip, looking at Youyu with a face of uncertainty, seemingly frightened, staying silent for a long time.
