"Set two cards on the field, my turn ends."
Sella spread out the two Set Cards at her feet and simultaneously announced the end of her turn.
Having endured the devastating three-strike of the Cubic Behemoth, the initiative was finally handed back to Youyu. He reassessed the situation on the field and observed the circumstances.
Sella has the destructive Buster Gundil the Cubic Behemoth, along with two unknown Set Cards on the field. On Youyu's side, only the Dark Magician Girl remains, and she has been "Non-Dimensionalized" in the previous battle, her effect negated and unable to declare attacks.
In that case...
"My turn, draw card."
The Dark Magician Girl held her breath, gripping her Small Magic Staff tightly.
Now she was the only one standing in front of her master!
She needed to perform well and rely on herself from now on!
"I activate the Equip Magic 'Wonder Wand' from my hand," Youyu said. "This card equips to a Spellcaster-Type monster and increases its attack power by 500 points."
The Small Magic Staff embedded with a green gemstone appeared in the hands of the Dark Magician Girl. Holding a staff in each hand, she felt her magic power surging like never before.
[Dark Magician Girl, ATK 2000 → ATK 2500]
The girl perked up.
Great, keep this momentum and push forward...
"The other effect of Wonder Wand," Youyu continued. "Send both this card and the equipped monster to the graveyard to draw two cards from the deck."
Dark Magician Girl: "?"
The girl suddenly deflated, pouting as she retreated under the magic power released by the staff.
Drawing two cards, Youyu glanced at them and drew one out: "Magic Card - Spellbook Inside the Pot, both players draw three cards."
Pausing, his gaze swept swiftly across the twisted and bizarre field.
"In the field of Dimension Duel, summoning high-star monsters doesn't require sacrifices, right?"
"Correct," Sella nodded.
"Then let me use this rule," Youyu drew a card from his hand, "I use 'Dark Magician' in my hand, Dimension Summon!"
The pitch-black array spun open as the mage in black robes leaped forth. The magic staff twirled like a windmill in his hand, and the magic swirling around the staff stirred into a spinning vortex.
[Dark Magician, ATK 2500]
"The Pharaoh's most trusted monster, Dark Magician?" Sella said slowly, "But even his power is not enough to defeat the Cubic Behemoth."
"Perhaps, but this guy can," Youyu said, swiftly drawing two cards from his hand, "Ritual Magic Card - Advanced Ritual Art!
Until the combined level is the same as the level of the Ritual Summon monster, send normal monsters from the deck to the graveyard to perform a Ritual Summon from the hand!"
A card automatically ejected from the deck, and Youyu drew it and displayed it.
"I choose as the Ritual material from the deck, level eight, Cosmo Queen! Ritual Summon!
Messenger that turns darkness into light —
— Level eight, Black Luster Soldier - Super Soldier, descends!"
Silver armor, red glowing patterns, the warrior's brilliance dazzling beyond gaze. The long sword gleamed, and the resolute-faced warrior stepped forward slowly, the sword point slanted towards the ground.
[Black Luster Soldier - Super Soldier, ATK 3000]
"The legendary Super Warrior... to think such a powerful being was summoned here. But..."
Sella slightly smiled.
"His power merely matches that of the Cubic Behemoth..."
"Battle," Youyu declared, "Black Luster Soldier - Super Soldier, attack 'Buster Gundil the Cubic Behemoth'!"
"!" Sella's large beautiful eyes showed surprise, "Same attack power... In battle, both will meet their end simultaneously. According to the 'Dimension Duel' rules, we both must take damage equal to the destroyed monster's attack power..."
[Youyu, LP 1600]
[Sella, LP 4000]
Both monsters have an attack power of 3000, with each enduring 3000 damage, Sella's Life Points would remain at one thousand, but Youyu's side would be on the brink of defeat!
What exactly was he thinking?
But either way, the Super Warrior had already drawn out his divine sword. The blade shimmered with cold light, and the Power of Chaos that could cleave space quickly gathered, brimming with a domineering might.
The Cubic Behemoth wasn't to be outdone, its body rapidly energizing, fire serpents coiling, ready to unleash a strike at any moment!
"At this moment," Youyu revealed another card from his hand and quickly placed it into the graveyard of the Duel Disc, "discard 'Envoy of Chaos' from the hand, activate effect!
This card is discarded to the graveyard during the Battle Phase, increasing the attack power of our 'Black Luster Soldier' by 1500 points until the end of the turn.
Furthermore, the monster fighting against Black Luster Soldier this turn will have its attack power reverted to its original value!"
Sella quickly realized something: "The attack power of the Cubic monster increases by the number of 'Vijam' stacked beneath it, its original attack power..."
"Exactly," Youyu smiled, "the original attack power of all Cubic monsters is 0."
[Black Luster Soldier - Super Soldier, ATK 3000 → ATK 4500]
"I see, while amplifying his own power, he also targeted the weakness of the Cubic monster," Sella said seriously, "Impressive.
But activate the Set Card, Trap Card - Cubic Rebirth!
Depending on the number of 'Cubic' monsters on your field, 'Non-Dimensionalize' the corresponding number of monsters on the opponent's field!"
