"Duel!" x3
[Yugi x Youyu, LP 4000]
[Bakura, LP 8000]
The final battle in the Memory World, betting on the outcome of the Ultimate Darkness Game, and even the future of modern humanity, officially begins here!
"It's my turn!" Yugi took the first move, "My turn, draw a card! First is the Magic Card 'Angel's Charity', draw three cards from the deck and then discard two cards from my hand.
Then I summon 'Magician's Rod'!"
The entirely azure transparent magician flew out from the array, a green crystal-like magical staff spinning lightly in his hand.
[Magician's Rod, ATK 1600]
"The effect of Magician's Rod, when successfully summoned, allows me to add Black Magician-related Magic Trap Cards from the deck to my hand," Yugi said, "The card I want to add to my hand is the Continuous Magic 'Magician Navigation'!"
Though Youyu already knew from the forum that Yugi had regained some memories and got the Black Magician components, including the 'Magician Navigation', he couldn't help but click his tongue when seeing it in person.
After all, he's the Pharaoh. Printing cards directly in one step, starting with the Magician Navigation, is this even allowed?
Magician Navigation is way too self-isolating, don't you think, Dark Claw?
(Masked Hero Dark Claw gave a thumbs up)
"Activate the Continuous Magic 'Magician Navigation' from the hand!"
Yugi didn't waste any words and directly played the Magician Navigation. Magic Power sparked golden in the air, dragging a fiery trail in the sky, forming a bronze-like circular ring, engraved with ancient hieroglyphic spells.
"When Magician Navigation is activated, flip the top three cards from the deck. I can add any Black Magician-related Magic Trap Cards or 'Black Magician' to the hand. The remaining cards are placed back on top of the deck in any order."
As he spoke, Yugi already flipped the top three cards in one go, glanced, and pulled out one of them.
"I'll add the Quick-Play Magic 'Illusion Magic' to my hand; the remaining two cards will be placed back on top of the deck."
Two cards were inserted back into the deck interchangeably, then Yugi drew the two cards in his hand.
"Set two cards facedown, turn end!"
Bakura looked disdainfully at the Magician's Rod with only 1600 attack power, "What an elaborate setup, but in the end, only a level three miscellaneous magician remains on the field?
Hey, such a starting hand can easily be instant killed by me, oh, dear Pharaoh."
Clearly, the Great Evil God Sok, who hadn't experienced the Black Magic beatdown, didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.
"So the Great Evil God seems to only see a miscellaneous one with 1600 attack power..." some players started discussing.
"One foot in the coffin and still laughing here."
"Fast forward to Great Evil God: Stop, this isn't a duel!"
"..."
However, Bakura completely ignored the idiotic noise around him; even if he heard it, he treated it as trash talk, not paying any attention.
"My turn!" Bakura summoned a new stone tablet, glanced over it and quickly decided his starting strategy.
"First, use 'Pot of Greed' to draw two cards. Then I summon 'Gozuki', attack position!"
The Undead-Type Battle Ox appeared on the field, wearing a nose ring and prayer beads, shouldering a heavy axe.
[Gozuki, ATK 1700]
"Gozuki's effect!" Bakura said, "Once per turn, send an Undead-Type monster from the deck to the Graveyard. I send 'Mezuki' to the Graveyard!"
The sealed stone tablet image of Mezuki briefly flashed by, quickly absorbed into the black vortex opened behind.
"Magic Card - Tribute Doll!" Bakura continued, "Use a monster on my field as a tribute to Special Summon a level seven monster from the hand.
I use 'Gozuki' as a tribute, appear!
Level seven, Perditious Puppeteer!"
Gozuki was enveloped by a pitch-black whirlwind, its body quickly disintegrated and dissipated. A dark storm surged up, and a sinisterly smiling demon emerged from the depths of the darkness. It had an abstract body built like gas, glowing red eyes and mouth, dragging transparent threads from its sharp five fingers protruding from who knows where, like a puppeteer behind the stage.
[Perditious Puppeteer, ATK 2700]
"You actually only put this low-level miscellaneous spellcaster in front of me, Yugi, this will be the biggest mistake of your life," Bakura shouted, "Go to hell regretting your negligence forever!
I activate Perditious Puppeteer's effect! Once per turn, discard a card from your hand, gain control of all level three or lower monsters on opponent's field!
Puppeteer Technique!"
The puppeteer flicked his five fingers, and the slender threads clustered together unsteadily, swarming toward the Magician's Rod on Yugi's field!
Magician's Rod is level three, it would naturally be controlled. If control is seized, Yugi and Youyu's frontline will become a blank slate!
However, Yugi naturally couldn't be trapped easily: "Open facedown card! Quick-Play Magic 'Illusion Magic'! Sacrifice my Spellcaster-Type monster on the field, add 'Black Magician' from the deck to hand.
I use 'Magician's Rod' as a sacrifice!"
A burst of golden light, the magic array opened under Magician's Rod, and the mage's body quickly dissipated within the array. The clusters of threads unfurling in front of Bakura abruptly plunged into emptiness.
"Tsk, the sacrifice escaped?" Bakura curled his lips, "You're lucky, the monster summoned by Tribute Doll cannot declare an attack this turn."
Pausing for a moment, he then showed a standard evil god-like sinister smile.
"But don't think this makes you safe, Yugi!" Bakura drew another card from his hand, "Field Magic - Ectoplasmer!"
Youyu's gaze shifted.
Ectoplasmer, the card used by Pandora when dueling Yugi in the animation. After becoming a physical card, it was modified into a Continuous Magic, in the animation it was a Field Magic, and there are significant differences between the two versions' effects.
Yugi seemed to recognize this card too, "This Field Magic is..."
"While Ectoplasmer is on the field, I can draw the soul from a monster on the field, directly dealing half of that monster's attack points as damage!" Bakura chuckled, "You didn't think that just because it can't declare attack, I have no offensive means, did you?"
"That won't do." Yugi waved his hand, immediately flipping the Trap Card, "Open facedown card! Trap Card - Magician Navigation!"
Bakura, "!"
"Special Summon 'Black Magician' from hand, then Special Summon a level seven or lower Dark Attribute Spellcaster from the deck!
Yugi raised his arm.
"Come forth, my most loyal servant, Black Magician!
And Mahad's spirit, Magician of Dark Illusion!"
The black magic array opened, surging magic power turned into a torrent. Two slender black figures flew forward from the array, two staffs spun like boomerangs in the air, the black-robed magicians lightly landed.
[Black Magician, ATK 2500]
[Magician of Dark Illusion, DEF 2500]
"At this moment!"
Yugi pointed to the magical circle in the air, the golden ring accelerating like a wheel in motion, forming a blurry dark circle with the hieroglyphs engraved on it.
"The effect of Magician Navigation! When Black Magician is successfully summoned, banish one card on the field from the game," Yugi said, "I banish Perditious Puppeteer!"
Black Magician's staff spun, pointing towards the sky. Magic power exploded from the Magician Navigation, directly hitting Bakura's Puppeteer on the field. The demon let out a piercing cry, its form distorted under the spacetime magic power, being struck into the dimensional rift and disappearing.
Bakura's eyes widened, his expression looked like he was going to swallow Yugi and his Black Magician whole and alive.
What a joke?
