"My turn," now it's Yuei Vu's turn, "draw."
Although he felt like an outsider now, he still had to continue.
According to the rules of Battle Royal, no one could attack in the first turn, so this turn should mainly focus on consolidating the defense and preparing for the next battle.
It was precisely because of this rule that Yugi dared to leave only a cannon fodder swordsman in the attack position on the field without even a set card.
It should be said that he was worthy of being a Pharaoh, and he was so confident.
He left a cannon fodder swordsman standing on the field, and when others saw that the field was empty with only one cannon fodder, they immediately had the illusion of playing against a simple bot, and immediately relaxed their vigilance. Then Yugi counterattacked immediately when they were unprepared…
…Is this the Duel King's tactics? I got it.
However, Yugi dared to be so turbulent because he would be the one who could attack first.
"Summon 'Elemental HERO Solid Soldier' in defense position."
A hero in silver and white hard armor appeared on Yuei Vu's field with a loud snort, his arms were staggered like shields for protection, and his body was half-squatted to block in front of Yuei Vu.
[Elemental HERO Solid Soldier, DEF 1100]
"Solid Soldier's effect – When this card is Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower 'HERO' monster from my hand. Come on! 'Elemental HERO · Clayman', in Defense Position!"
[Elemental HERO Clayman, DEF 2000]
"Set a card, and I end my turn." Yuei Vu also finished playing cards.
Yugi glanced at him, thinking: "Two defensive monsters, and one of them has a defense power of 2000. That set card might also be a card to consolidate defense… As expected of the duelist who defeated Jonouchi. In the first turn, he already builds an iron wall of defense."
But at this time, the six-year-old watched Yugi then glanced at Yuei Vu's side, and only laughed gloomily.
"My turn, draw!" Dark Marik drew a card and laughed, "It's really hard for you to put up such a lineup in your first turn! Then as a reward, I will give you this powerful monster!
I take the 'Elemental HERO Solid Soldier' and 'Elemental HERO Clayman' on your field as sacrifices, and special summon to your field a powerful Level 8 monster – Lava Golem! ! ! "
Yuei Vu: "....."
The scorching flames rose out of thin air and enveloped the bodies of the two heroes on the Yuei Vu's field. The heroes disappeared in the swirling flames, and the pillar of fire rose into the sky like a magma eruption.
A giant body covered in fire appeared behind Yuei Vu, and the iron cage hanging on his chest locked Yuei Vu in the middle. But because it was a virtual image, it looked like the giant's body was penetrating through the wall, as if the entire wall was burnt red.
[Lava Golem, ATK 3000]
Lava Golem, one of Yami Marik's signature monsters, was also the originator of the "release solution" monsters that had a dread reputation among Yu-Gi-Oh players.
Its feature is that it could tribute two monsters on the opponent's field and Special Summon itself to the opponent's field.
It was worth noting that Lava Golem used two monsters on the opponent's field as a "sacrifice", which was a summoning condition, and its nature was the same as the controller's summoning of two monsters on his field as a sacrifice.
In other words, even if the monsters on the opponent's field have absolute resistances like "cannot be targeted by card effects" or "unaffected by effects", they could still be sacrificed by Lava Golem.
With that said, you might be able to see how hellish this thing was. For example, even if two Egyptian gods with strong animation resistance jumped out on the opposite side, you could still send them to the underworld and force the opponent to accept this Level 8 monster… …
However, neither Yugi nor Kaiba have seen this kind of monster, and they were all suspicious at this time – when did Marik be so good? Why did he take the initiative to give the opponent a beatstick whose attack power was equal to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon?
Do you really want to make friends with each other through a duel?
And it's not over yet!
"Hey, but it won't be good if you use Lava Golem to attack me, so I'm going to play this card just in case…Spell Card – Mask of the Accursed! Equip to Lava Golem! "
An ugly mask full of metal barbs emerged and flew in front of Lava Golem, smearing his burning face without saying a word.
Lava Golem let out a low roar, followed by his arms hanging down, and the whole person was stunned.
"Hahaha! Monsters equipped with 'Mask of the Accursed' cannot attack or defend, and the controller will lose 500 LP each turn!" Marik laughed, "Then the effect of 'Lava Golem' will also deduct 1000LP each turn, so it will be 1500LP of damage in each of your Standby Phases!"
Yuei Vu: "…"
Marik burst into a standard M-style laugh, then set three cards and ended the turn directly.
As expected of a nether duelist, he started by giving a Level 8 monster to the opponent and then placed three pits in the Spell Trap Zone, which made your scalp numb.
At the end of the first round, the attack restrictions of all players were lifted, and the real battle would follow.
"My turn, draw!" Yugi pointed to the elf swordsman in front of him, "I sacrificed the 'Celtic Guardian'… Summon the 'Archfiend of Gilfer'! "
Anyway, cannon-fodder swordsman has never had any human rights. At least this time he didn't get beaten.
The white whirlwind wrapped the elf swordsman in the middle, turning into a blue starlight and disappearing. The body of the pitch-black demon flew out of the vortex of sacrifice, flapping its blood-red wings, and its fangs reflected silver light.
[Archfiend of Gilfer, ATK 2200]
Yugi glanced at the situation on the field and began to think.
In the original animation, the one that Yugi wanted to fight the most in the semi-finals was his friend Jonouchi. Even though President Kaiba blinked and sneered at him frantically, Yugi still ignored the president throughout, and all he could see was Jonouchi.
However, President Kaiba became smarter in this timeline. He eliminated the threat of Jonouchi with his own hands first in the quarterfinals, so that he would be able to monopolize…
… the priority of playing with Yugi!
Sure enough, the tacit understanding between Yugi and Kaiba was still there. Without the third wheel Jonouchi, Yugi immediately understood Kaiba's eyes.
Yugi made up its mind.
Well, if you think so, Kaiba, then we will end our grievances in the semi-finals!
So what he had to do now was to make the other two LPs except Kaiba get to zero and leave early, so that he and Kaiba would be in the same group.
Then the eyes of Yugi wandered between Yuei Vu and Marik for a moment, and soon the one who was more ill-mannered was selected based on his appearance…
"Archfiend of Gilfer!" Yugi pointed to the six-year-old, "Directly attack Marik!"
The demon took the order, opened his mouth with a roar, and the chaotic shock swirled and whirled towards Marik.
